64: Chapter 64 It seems this is a criminal gang!

The bullet comments in the livestream had unified into two words.

"Death penalty!"

The screen full of red font was like countless sharp swords, piercing Celestial Master Zhang's eyes until he couldn't open them.

Su Yun watched this scene with no expression on his face.

There was neither the joy of victory nor any unnecessary pity.

For this kind of trash, even a single glance was a waste of time.

"Master Zhang."

Su Yun spoke up leisurely.

"Shall we continue?"

"That teleprompter under your desk—do you want me to read it out for you?"

"The next line should be... 'This humble Daoist has been framed by a villain; I will end the stream for now and fight another day,' right?"

Celestial Master Zhang's whole body shuddered.

He subconsciously glanced under the desk.

That tablet indeed displayed that very line.

This was the PR script that the company's operations had just sent over urgently.

Even this had been predicted?

Celestial Master Zhang felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

This Su Yun—was he a man or a ghost?

His psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Celestial Master Zhang suddenly slid off his chair, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed frantically toward the camera.

"It's not my fault! It's really not my fault!"

"The company forced me to do this!"

"It's Starlight Media! It's President Wang! He said that as long as we could bring you down, we could use any means necessary!"

"That bottle of potion was also given to me by operations; I really didn't know there was lead in it!"

Dog eat dog.

A complete mess.

The master who had been so arrogant just a moment ago was now like a drowning dog, selling out his own boss just to shift the blame.

Su Yun shook his head at this farce.

"Isn't it a bit late to shift the blame now?"

"President Wang is indeed a piece of work, but you were the one who fed the medicine, you were the one who took the money, and you were the one who performed the script."

"When an avalanche occurs, no single snowflake is innocent."

Just then.

In front of Su Yun's eyes, the system's virtual interface suddenly flickered.

[Target: Zhang Xuanji]

[Recent Fortune: Great Misfortune! Imprisonment is inevitable.]

[Latest Intel: Three minutes ago, received a text message from a virtual number.]

Su Yun narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over that line of small text.

The content of the message was only one short line.

"Shut your mouth. Your wife and child are still attending school in Jiangcheng."

A threat.

A blatant threat.

It seemed that so-called Starlight Media was even darker than imagined.

Not only did they engage in fraud and poisoning, but now they were also resorting to kidnapping and extortion?

The corners of Su Yun's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

Interesting.

He had originally thought it was just an ordinary MCN Agency, but he hadn't expected it to be a criminal syndicate.

In that case, don't blame me for uprooting you entirely.

Celestial Master Zhang was still wailing and crying, with snot and tears flowing everywhere.

"Master Su! Grandpa Su! I beg you, please let me go!"

"I have the elderly and the young to support; I can't go to jail!"

"I'll give all the money back to you! I'll donate it all, okay?"

Su Yun ignored his wailing.

"Zhang Xuanji, stop howling and save your strength."

"Don't be in such a hurry to push all the responsibility onto the company; the police are already downstairs at your place."

...

Bang!

A loud noise erupted, as if it were about to shatter the livestream screen.

Celestial Master Zhang's solid wood door, which claimed to have the highest security rating, was violently smashed open from the outside.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and one piece even flew directly in front of the camera, blocking a corner of the frame.

Immediately afterward, several figures in uniform rushed in.

Their movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

"Don't move!"

"Hands behind your head! Get down!"

This shout was full of vigor, and the intimidation could be felt even through the screen.

Celestial Master Zhang was completely stunned.

He had just been putting on a tragic performance, but now he was like an old duck with its neck squeezed; his cries were stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

He subconsciously tried to crawl under the desk.

"Stay still!"

A police officer stepped forward, hauled him out from under the desk, and slapped on a pair of silver handcuffs.

Click.

The crisp sound of the lock echoed in the livestream room.

...

At the same time.

In the split-screen of Su Yun's livestream, Celestial Master Zhang was being pinned to the floor on the left, while Daoist Qingfeng was on the right.

It was even more chaotic on Daoist Qingfeng's side.

He had been chanting with a peach wood sword in hand, but when the door was smashed open, his hand shook, and a talisman paper coated in white phosphorus fell directly onto his crotch.

Flames instantly flared up.

"Holy crap! Hot, hot, hot!"

The so-called "hidden master" was now jumping around while slapping his crotch, looking exactly like a monkey.

When the police rushed in and saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment before quickly pinning him down and putting out the fire for him.

"Daoist Qingfeng, stop jumping."

Su Yun picked up his thermos and slowly blew on the surface.

"If you keep jumping, you'll really have to practice the Sunflower Manual."

The bullet comments in the livestream went completely wild.

The screen was so full of "666" and "Holy crap" that the video was barely visible.

"Since I lack culture, one 'holy crap' will suffice for all! This is too intense!"

"He just said the police arrived, and the next second the door was kicked in? Has Master Su's mouth been blessed?"

"I'm dying of laughter. That Daoist Qingfeng's crotch catching fire—that's karma!"

"Is this the legendary 'divine soldiers descending from heaven'? So satisfying! That's what you get for scamming people and poisoning children!"

Watching this scene, the expression on Su Yun's face remained unchanged.

He was like an outsider, yet also like the head director of this grand play.

"Thank you for your hard work, officers."

Su Yun said into the microphone.

The police at the arrest scene obviously knew the livestream was still going; the officer leading the team nodded toward the camera as a greeting.

At this moment, Celestial Master Zhang, who was pinned to the floor, finally came to his senses.

The moment the cold handcuffs touched his skin, he truly realized that he was finished.

This wasn't just a simple administrative detention.

Fraud, poisoning, and possibly even more serious charges were involved.

Once he went in, he would probably be stepping on a sewing machine for the rest of his life.

The desire for survival overcame everything else at this moment.

"Officer! I want to report! I want to earn merit!"

Celestial Master Zhang desperately raised his head; his face, which usually looked so dignified, was now covered in snot and tears, distorted beyond recognition.

"It's President Wang! It's Wang Qiang from Starlight Media!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, fearing the police wouldn't hear him.

"He instigated me! Those scripts, those poisonous potions—they were all provided by the company!"

"I have the chat logs! They're in my phone! And recordings—I recorded every single meeting!"

"He said as long as we could bring Su Yun down, it didn't matter if people died; the company has a legal team to settle everything!"

This statement was like a heavy bomb, exploding directly in the livestream room.

People originally thought it was just a black-hearted influencer, but who would have expected such a huge scandal behind it?

On the other side of the screen, Daoist Qingfeng saw that Celestial Master Zhang had confessed and refused to be outdone.

Better a fellow Daoist die than this humble Daoist.

At a time like this, whoever confessed slower would be the one taking the blame.
