The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"Hold on, I'll go find someone to retrieve it and see what it is. Maybe it really is fragments of the people!"

As the saying goes, a generous reward will surely bring forth brave men. With large sums of money being thrown out, curious air force fishermen soon jumped into the water to help.

The large box was quickly retrieved from the water.

The live stream was buzzing with excitement as people watched the large box in front of them, with all sorts of comments circulating.

[Good heavens, could Ye Peiguang really have been right? It really is a fragment of the people, isn't it?]

[That seems unlikely. This box is enormous. If it contains fragments of people, how many people would it contain?]

【That's true. Although Ye Peiguang's fishing luck wasn't great—he baited the spot heavily but didn't see a single fish—there's no reason he should be so unlucky as to catch something as worthless as a piece of trash.】

If these are truly fragments of the people, then I think calling Ye Xiao "Ye Pai Gua" (meaning "Ye Loses Everything") is inappropriate.

What should it be called?

[Calling for a fisherman from the underworld]

[Wait a minute, this box wasn't caught by Ye Peiguang, it was caught by this young master Ye Linyuan. Calling Ye Xiao the underworld fisherman isn't appropriate, is it? That title should belong to Ye Linyuan.]

[That makes sense. I originally thought Ye Linyuan and Ye Xiao were different, but now it seems they're pretty much the same. One fishes and fails, the other fishes and fails. No wonder they're father and son.]

Okay, stop commenting, just call the police.

"You don't even need to tell me that. I called the police as soon as I saw the box, and the sheriff from the police station should be arriving soon."

Two minutes later, Ye Linyuan saw two familiar faces and greeted them casually.

"Captain Shen, we meet again. And Officer Ling too. It hasn't been two hours since we last met, has it?"

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's greeting, both Shen Wanmeng and Ling Ruoshuang rolled their eyes.

Brother, it's so late at night, could you please stop bothering us?

The matter of Yan Fan committing a heinous act in front of millions of people during the day has not yet been resolved, and now we hear that Ye Linyuan has fallen into the People's Fragment?

Could this guy be the legendary troublemaker, causing trouble wherever he goes?

It is said that the eternal death god elementary school student of the Thousand Days Country was inspired by this legendary troublemaker's constitution, which is why trouble happens wherever he goes.

(A certain elementary school student next door, a perpetual Grim Reaper: Nonsense, it's clearly the case that's calling for the great detective!)

Recalling the descriptions her seniors had given her of her troublesome nature, Shen Wanmeng looked at Ye Linyuan with a newfound wariness.

On the contrary, Ling Ruoshuang first showed a thoughtful expression, then seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Ye Linyuan with a fiery gaze.

"No, Captain Shen, what kind of look is that? Is this how the Public Security Bureau treats concerned citizens?"

"And Officer Ling, what kind of look is that? It's like you want to devour me completely, leaving not a trace!"

As soon as Ye Linyuan finished speaking, Shen Wanmeng and Ling Ruoshuang subconsciously exchanged a glance and both revealed awkward smiles.

Although I don't know what the other person is thinking, it's definitely not a good thing!

"Well, don't mind it, we're just a little annoyed because we had to come all this way so late at night. Tell us what happened."

Ye Linyuan did not answer Shen Wanmeng's question, but pointed to the photographer who was pale-faced and trembling.

"Captain Shen, seeing is believing. Even if I say all that, you might not believe me. Look, there's a cameraman over there. Although it's a live broadcast, it'll probably be recorded the whole thing."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, Shen Wanmeng gave Ling Ruoshuang a wink, and the latter nodded and went to ask the photographer for the recording, while Shen Wanmeng herself led the other security officers to prepare to open the huge suitcase.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Shen Wanmeng was about to open it, Ye Linyuan suddenly stopped her, instantly drawing the attention of all the sheriffs present, their eyes filled with doubt and vigilance.

"Don't look at me like that. Who knows what's in there? But we have a lot of girls here, so for safety's sake, can we let them leave first?"

As he spoke, Ye Linyuan pointed to Ye Qingcheng, who was looking conflicted, standing not far away; An Wangshu, who was pale as paper but still stubborn, standing beside him; and Luo Qingge, who remained quiet and expressionless in his arms.

Shen Wan thought for a moment, nodded, and then spoke to a female sheriff.

"Xiao Zhao, please take these three ladies to the coffee shop nearby and wait for us."

The sheriff, referred to as Xiao Zhao, nodded, stood up, and came to stand in front of Ye Linyuan, looking sincerely at An Wangshu and Luo Qingge.

"Ladies, the following scene might be a bit gory and censored, so it's not suitable for you. How about we go to that coffee shop over there and watch these filthy men suffer while we drink coffee?"

Ye Linyuan: Holy crap, is this female sheriff poisonous? She just starts making sweeping generalizations without even opening her mouth?

To everyone's surprise, both An Wangshu and Luo Qingge shook their heads.

"Little Pigeon wants to stay with A-Yuan. No matter what happens, Little Pigeon will stay with A-Yuan."

"Me too. As my brother's sister, I have to be there for him in times like this. Otherwise, I'd be such a bad sister!"

As Luo Qingge and An Wangshu finished speaking, Ye Qingcheng, who was about to dodge, stopped in her tracks. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke cautiously.

"As the older sister, how can I leave my younger siblings here alone to face what's to come? So!"

Me too.

Upon hearing the three women's refusal, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but glance at them. Feeling the faint stench wafting into his nostrils, his expression instantly darkened.

"Isn't Little Pigeon the one who listens to A-Yuan the most? Now A-Yuan wants Little Pigeon to wait for him at that coffee shop over there. Little Pigeon can't refuse, okay?"

"Wang Shu, be good and take the little pigeon over there to wait for me. If you behave well, I'll give you a reward tonight."

"And you, Sister Qingcheng, those two are still young and don't understand, but don't you understand either? The following scenes are absolutely unsuitable for children! They'll give them nightmares!"
