Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 74 I saw one alive today! (Please subscribe) (4/10)

"Waaaaah~"

Several police cars drove into the park.

"Go up!"

"You all better behave!"

Master Ma and his disciples were all handcuffed and put into police cars. They were all dejected and ashen-faced, no longer the "masters" they once were.

The square was in complete chaos.

The elderly men and women who had just been praising "Master Ma as a good person" were now blushing and scrambling to surround the police officers who had not yet left, demanding a refund.

"Officers, you have to do me a favor!"

"They scammed me out of over eight thousand yuan, they have to give me my money back!"

"Me too! Me too!"

"These heartless people swindled me out of my entire pension!"

Qin Peng was surrounded by a group of elderly people, his forehead almost sweating. He could only patiently comfort them: "Don't worry, everyone! These involved assets will be handled according to the law, and what is due will definitely be returned!"

Register first! Everyone register first!

Xu Zhiyi watched this farce and couldn't help but shake her head.

If I had known this, why did I have to?

Of course, this is also because Master Ma and his gang are too shrewd.

They spent two or three months leading the elderly in daily exercises under the name of Changchun Gong. In addition, Changchun tea contains medicinal herbs that refresh the mind, replenish qi and blood, which indeed improved the health of many people.

This was a scheme designed to exploit the elderly's desire for health.

Unless elderly people understand pharmacology, it's hard for them not to be scammed.

At this moment, Qin Peng finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd and quickly walked up to Xu Zhiyi.

"Xiao Xu, we really owe you a lot this time!"

He reached out and patted Xu Zhiyi on the shoulder, his face full of admiration. "We recently received a report from the public that their elderly relatives had been tricked into buying Changchun tea. We were just worried about not having any leads when you sent me this message."

Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, you're too kind. It was nothing at all."

He calls Xiaoyuanzi's mother Sister Chen and Xiaoyuanzi's father Uncle Qin — it sounds a bit confusing, but everyone is already used to it and doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

"This is no small matter."

Qin Peng looked at him seriously and said, "You don't know, this Ma Guoliang gang has been committing crimes in several cities and has cheated many elderly people."

They meticulously forge identities each time to gain the trust of the elderly, and then package some low-cost health products as miracle cures, making huge profits from it!

Moreover, they are very clever and not greedy. They sell for two or three weeks each time and then disappear. By the time the deceived elderly people realize what's happening, they have already fled to other cities and changed their identities.

Because they were using false identities and disguised their faces with makeup, the police were unable to track them down.

Fortunately, you exposed their scam in time, which allowed them to be apprehended in Wuxi!

At this point, he turned to look at the "Madman of Xicheng" beside him, "Young man, what's your name again?"

"Xicheng Madman" quickly stepped forward, grinning, and said, "Officer, my name is Zhao Meng, my Douyin ID is Xicheng Madman, and I specialize in live-streaming to expose fake news!"

"Zhao Meng, right?"

Qin Peng nodded. "Thank you for your hard work this time too. Please cooperate with me to give a statement later. I'll have the bureau give you both a banner to commend your helpful actions in solving the case!"

"A banner?" Zhao Meng was taken aback, then his mouth stretched into a wide grin. "This is so embarrassing, I haven't been of much help at all—so, should the banner be delivered to my home or my workplace?"

"We'll talk about that later."

Qin Peng didn't say anything more. He greeted the two men and then got into the police car and left first.

After he left, Zhao Meng glanced at Xu Zhiyi with a subtle look in his eyes and a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Looks like I was used as a pawn today."

Xu Zhiyi knew she couldn't hide it from the other party, so she calmly smiled and said, "We're cooperating and each getting what we need. It's not like anyone's using the other as a pawn, is it?"

"You're right."

Zhao Meng nodded. This live-stream exposé was a great success. He earned a lot from the tips alone and gained many new followers.

"But I'm still a little curious. Since you already know the details of that Changchun tea, why didn't you just call the police? Why did you have to involve me as well?"

Xu Zhiyi pointed to the filming equipment next to her and laughed, "Aren't you a professional at exposing fake news? Of course, you have to find a professional to handle this kind of thing."

Zhao Meng stared at him for a few seconds, a smile appearing on his face. He said with some emotion, "Alright, whatever you say. In any case, I have to thank you today."

Thank you for providing the clue, and thank you for stepping forward in time; otherwise, I might have been in serious trouble.

He paused, then added, "You have no idea, when those old men and women were surrounding me and yelling at me, I almost started to doubt whether I had really done something wrong!"

Xu Zhiyi smiled but didn't reply.

Although he made his words very simple, he actually put a lot of thought into thoroughly exposing these swindlers.

His initial thought was to go alone and expose the secret of "Changchun Tea" in public. But upon closer reflection, he realized that if he were alone, these elderly people were unlikely to believe him.

Moreover, Master Ma and his group will definitely target him.

They outnumber us and are unlikely to back down easily; it could very well escalate into a full-blown brawl.

Although he wasn't afraid to take action, he was afraid of alerting the swindlers and making them wary.

He also considered providing Qin Peng with clues so that the police could take down the fraud gang as soon as possible.

However, Qin Peng's reply was that they needed to wait for the test results, submit another application, and wait for the leadership to hold a meeting to discuss it.

In short, the police cannot immediately dispatch officers to make arrests.

Therefore, live-streaming to expose counterfeits has become a very viable approach.

The live stream would make Master Ma and his team hesitant to act rashly, and by simultaneously broadcasting the live stream to Qin Peng, the police could be informed of the situation immediately, making their dispatch of officers a logical next step.

This was his entire concept from beginning to end.

The result was also smooth.

[Task Completed]

Congratulations to the player for successfully punishing the evil cultivator who set up the scheme to amass wealth.

[Rewards: Experience Points +1500, Silver Coins +10]

Current experience points: Lv.7 (1530/7000)

Xu Zhiyi's lips curled up slightly.

1500 experience points acquired!

With what we've accumulated so far, we're one step closer to the next upgrade.

With a slight thought, he sent his consciousness into the storage bag and took a look.

The silver had accumulated to 74 taels.

If converted into money, it would be a huge sum of money!

He was planning to go to the Shanghai Mineral and Gemstone Exhibition this weekend, and if all went well, it would probably cost him a lot of money!

At this moment, Zhao Meng leaned closer and whispered, "Hey bro, let's add each other as friends, okay? You have Douyin, right? Let's follow each other. Remember to call me next time there's something like this!"

I may not have any great skills, but I'm best at charging into battle and drawing enemy fire!

Xu Zhiyi smiled, took out her phone and added him as a friend, and they followed each other on Douyin (TikTok).

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Meng glanced at his ID and suddenly slapped his thigh.

Holy crap!

Are you the midnight butcher?

Is this the butcher guy who's been all over the internet these past few days?

No wonder your back view looked a bit like mine!

Depend on!

I saw your video last night. You were so good with that slingshot, you took down that alligator gar in one go!

At the time, I thought this guy was really awesome, and I wished I could meet him someday. I never expected to meet him in person today!
