Captain Fang looked at Chen Bin with a damning gaze, wishing he could bite him to death, "T-This person is the mastermind?"


Chen Bin nodded excitedly, "Yep. That's him. This person is too crafty. He has planned this shocking kidnapping case personally. He's really too brazen to actually target Lady Xiao Xuetong."


Captain Fang wished he could cry but couldn't, "Do you know what you have done?"


Chen Bin stood upright and gave a salute with ample heroism, saying in a firm tone, "Serve the People!"


Fudge!


Captain Fang's heart was filled with despair. He wished he could cut this person into pieces.


He gazed towards Gu Dezhi who was inside the room. No wonder he acted so arrogantly when I called him. No one else in Jiangnan could act so arrogant, "Do you know who he is?"


"I know. The mastermind, Old Gu."


Old Gu! Old Gu your ass!


Jiang Xiu looked at this scene with full interest. By looking at Captain Fang's expression, he knew that this person had recognized Gu Dezhi. As the no.1 person of Jiang City's police force, there's no way he wouldn't recognize the leader of the Jiangnan's border region.


A fantastic show was about to begin.


This Deity responded the same way you treated me.


"H-How were you sure that he's the mastermind?" It was absurd that they had grabbed the leader of Jiangnan's border region by mistaking him as the kidnapper. The achievement for solving Xiao Xuetong's case would be gone, and it was even a big question whether they will keep their jobs.


He stared at that big bump on Secretary Gu's forehead. It was clear that he was hit.


It's all over. We're dead.


To think we grabbed such a person by mistake and even hit it…


Captain Fang hit his head then crouched down in despair. He hoped that this was just a nightmare and that nothing had happened after he wakes up.


Chen Bin finally realized something was wrong, "Captain Fang, why are you acting like this?"


Captain Fang roared at him in a fury, "Release him!"


"That…"


Fang Yicong roared, "Don't you fucking know who he is? Do you not see political news at all?" If Chen Bin looked at news ordinarily, there was no doubt he would have recognized the person. This situation could've been reversed if they had identified Secretary Gu in the hotel, but now, he had to suffer along with him.


"Chen Bin, just wait to get sacked, okay?"


He couldn't stay here any longer and immediately went to bring Secretary Gu out.


"C-Captain Fang…"


Chen Bin was baffled. He made a great effort to recall all the cases he had handled but couldn't remember making a mistake during any one of them. He finally asked, "Who's is this man in the end?"


"Secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, Gu Dezhi, Secretary Gu…" replied Jiang Xiu.


Boom!


Chen Bin was stunned as if thunder had struck him. He was completely dumbstruck.


"Y-You deceived me?"


"Didn't you want to frame me? So I let you frame as much as you wanted to."


Chen Bin's eyes grew wide open in anger.


"Prepare to face the wrath of the no. 1 person in Jiangnan, okay?"


Chen Bin's mind went blank as great despair drowned his heart. He almost fell to the ground. He suddenly recalled something and dashed out immediately.


Gu Dezhi was taken out of the room, and soon after, someone came to remove the shackles on Jiang Xiu. They apologized to him continuously.


Gu Dezhi sat there with a cold face with a big bump on his head. He had already changed into proper clothing. Never in his entire life had he lost so much face.


Around 20 people had assembled in the police department's monitoring hall, but none of them squeaked a word. It was deathly silent with only the noise coming from the radios.


The Secretary of Jiangnan, as well as the administration of Jiang City, were all here. The persons involved in this, Fang Yicong and Chen Bin were also here, with their heads lowered like criminals, waiting for the verdict.


Jiang Xiu walked in at this moment.


Secretary Gu stood up and squeezed out a smile, "This is really embarrassing. The face of the border region has been completely lost today."


"This Deity's face is also lost."


"Just what happened?" asked Secretary Gu.


Jiang Xiu sat down casually, "They didn't confess yet?"


How could they dare to confess?


"This Deity saved the person, but how could they allow such a big achievement to slip through their hands? So they framed this Deity as a kidnapper so they could steal the credit."


Secretary Gu's face turned ashen. He believed that Jiang Xiu had tried to embarrass him deliberately, but he was genuinely embarrassed now by the subordinates under him.


"What?"


"How can something like this happen in this age? Repulsive! Too repulsive…"


He slammed the table with his hand, causing the files on it to slide down to the ground.


The others were frightened.


This matter was too big and a big disgrace to the entire police force.


Captain Fang and Chen Bin were terrified.


Fang Yicong said, "Secretary Gu, the entire mission was implemented by Deputy Captain Chen Bin. I only oversaw it and didn't know the inside details."


Chen Bin's face turned dull.


"Strip his police uniform away." Secretary Gu commanded.


"NO…."


Chen Bin screamed. He had put in a lot of effort to climb up the ranks. Though he didn't have a lot of achievements, he had reached the post of Deputy Captain with great difficulty. How could he readily give up such a position of power?


"Secretary Gu, you can't just listen to his one-sided statement."


"When I arrived on the scene, he was inside the van. He kidnapped Xiao Xuetong."


"He's naturally the number one suspect in this case. What did I do wrong?"


"I can't accept Secretary Gu removing me from my post."


"Who knows? It's possible that this person is indeed the kidnapper…"


Gu Dezhi laughed in anger, "Do you know who you are calling a kidnapper?"


Chen Bin shook his head.


"He's the famous Jiang Luoxia of Jiang City, Mr. Jiang…"


The entire police department was in an uproar.


"Jiang Luoxia…"


"Mr. Jiang…"


Boom!


Chen Bin's eyes almost popped out. He looked at Jiang Xiu with a gaze of disbelief. Mr. Jiang? That person who stands at the summit of Jiang City, that Mr. Jiang?


"And you actually dare to say Mr. Jiang is the kidnapper?"


If this person was Mr. Jiang, there was no way he would do something like this. Even if he did, he wouldn't get caught on the scene.


"N-No…"


Chen Bin couldn't keep his calm anymore. He screamed like a mad demon.


"You harmed me! You harmed me!!!"


He believed that if Jiang Xiu had revealed his identity earlier, there was no way all this would have happened. That's the reason he blamed Jiang Xiu.


"I'll kill you!"


He dashed towards Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu laughed coldly in response. Chen Bin wasn't his opponent even if he was manacled, let alone, he was free now.


Boom!


Chen Bin flew back 6-7 m.


He puffed blood out while standing up. His head was buzzing, and he was agitated. "I won't let you go since you ruined me…"


He took his gun out all of a sudden.


The others in the hall were stunned.


They retreated back in fear. The current Chen Bin had lost his reasoning. They immediately responded to this threat. "Protect Secretary Gu!"


"Do you want to kill this Deity?"


Jiang Xiu's tone was tranquil. He took a step forward instead of retreating.


"You think I won't fire?"


Chen Bin bellowed.


The mood had become extremely tense. Everyone looked at Jiang Xiu. The rumors in the underworld said that this man had extraordinary strength, but no matter how high one cultivated martial arts, it was common knowledge that humans couldn't block a gunshot. Let alone, they were too near.


"Fire!"


Jiang Xiu roared at him.


Bang!


Chen Bin pressed the trigger due to the provocation. Everyone screamed, and Gu Dezhi's eyes grew wide open. He wasn't expecting that person to fire. This matter had blown out of proportions. A fatality was about to occur.


This Jiang Luoxia is indeed courting death. Chen Bin's mood is so unstable, and you even provoked him. Isn't that courting death?"


However, the next scene stunned them.


The bullet stopped half-a-meter in front of Jiang Xiu.


It seemed as if time had frozen.


After taking a careful look, they noticed a faint light barrier surround Jiang Xiu's body. The bullet formed ripples on his barrier but couldn't penetrate through it.


"What the…"


Jiang Xiu reached out and grabbed the bullet with his hand with ease.


"D-Demon…"


Chen Bin finally recalled and understood why those kidnappers kept saying they had met a ghost or a demon.


Gu Dezhi was also left dumbstruck.


"Oh my god!"
