108. Ji Fanxing smiled like a cat that had caught a mouse.
In Ji Fanxing’s eyes, compared to her life on Earth at its peak, Longguo’s technology was at least eighty years ahead.
It could be said that her information tracking skills were already unparalleled in this era. In this age of information, as long as she wished, there was no secret in this world she couldn’t uncover.
Unexpectedly, Song Qing not only gathered crowds for gambling but also helped drug dealers transport goods. This was intolerable, and the enthusiastic citizens of Chaoyang City would never stand for such things—they quickly alerted the police.
Then there was that fellow named Li Wang, who had many secrets. Huh? He was actually a key wanted criminal in Yun Province.
The well-meaning citizen followed through with good deeds, packaging up both the man and his background to hand over to the police.
With fluid grace, her ten fingers tapped the keyboard crisply, and in less than half an hour, everything was settled.
“Yunshen Court? Just nearby...”
Effortlessly avoiding the paparazzi lurking beneath the hotel, Ji Fanxing’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Such a spectacle was too good to miss.
Suddenly, Lin Dong of Yun Province’s Special Action Team’s phone buzzed with an email notification. He tiredly opened his bloodshot eyes.
“Enthusiastic citizen?” Lin Dong looked at the unfamiliar sender, puzzled.
Opening the email, its contents immediately cleared his mind.
It contained detailed personal information on Li Wang, thorough activity logs, and even... the transaction evidence they had been desperately seeking!
The moment he saw Li Wang’s photo, Lin Dong, who had been investigating the “Dog Head” case for years, instantly confirmed—it was Dog Head himself!
“Let’s go! To the Fengqing Hotel!” Lin Dong clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
“Captain Lin, you haven’t rested for over 30 hours. At this rate, your health will fail!” a young officer beside him worriedly advised.
“Yeah, Captain Lin, why don’t you take a break first? We’ll handle capturing Li Wang!” another officer chimed in.
Lin Dong shook his head, his gaze firm: “No, this clue is too important. I must go myself!”
He reached out to touch the badge on his chest, where a police badge shimmered faintly under the light.
That was his father’s badge, sealed after he sacrificed himself capturing drug dealers 30 years ago, and reactivated by Lin Dong 18 years ago.
The badge was cold, yet it seemed to carry his father’s warmth, filling Lin Dong’s heart with a surge of heat.
“Dad, your son will fulfill your last wish! To wipe out the drug dealers of Yun Province!” Lin Dong whispered with unwavering determination.
Meanwhile, at the Capital Police Department, Officer Zhang Fan also received an anonymous email.
“Enthusiastic citizen?” Zhang Fan frowned as he read the message.
The content was brief: “Report! A suspicious woman suspected of transporting drugs. Currently at the Tang Song residence in Yunshen Court!”
Attached were several surveillance screenshots, each person interacting with the woman was already on record!
Zhang Fan’s eyes sharpened; he immediately stood up: “Notify the task force, proceed to Yunshen Court at once!”
“Yes, sir!”
Recalling Director Fu’s earlier words, he added, “Let Xiao Zhang bring a camera; this time we’ll livestream the entire operation!”
The song “Blossoms at Farewell” stirred a tempest online, igniting countless netizens’ passion. Many vowed to contribute to Longguo’s cause.
“This song is so electrifying! It gave me goosebumps!”
“Starting today, I’ll resist drugs from myself!”
“All those drug-using celebrities should be blacklisted!”
“Exactly, like Tang Song—there have been multiple reports of his arrests. Once or twice might be rumors, but so many times can’t be false.”
“Most importantly, he often publicly claimed that moderate use of banned substances wasn’t a big deal.”
Tang Song’s fans, seeing these comments, were restless.
“You have no proof Tang Song uses drugs! He was just talking!”
“Yeah! What evidence do you have? Watch out, we might sue you for defamation!”
“Tang Song’s new song is produced by the maestro Qu Feiyang; soon he’ll soar, beating Ji Fanxing with his fists and stepping on Lu Tianyu with his feet! He’ll become Longguo’s top star!”
While Tang Song’s fans fiercely defended their idol, the Capital authorities suddenly released an official statement.
“#Police Announcement# The detention of singer Tang Song for drug use is confirmed. The case is under further investigation...”
Beneath the announcement was a livestream link boldly titled “Watch the Arrest Scene.”
The fans who had just boasted about beating Ji Fanxing and Lu Tianyu were dumbfounded.
Now, they could no longer claim “drug use isn’t a big deal,” nor question the official notice. They only felt slapped hard in the face by the idol they loved most.
Many curious viewers clicked into the livestream, which was dark, with the distant roar of vehicles faintly audible.
The title did not specify who was being arrested. A clear voice explained the camera was off to prevent the suspect’s escape; it would turn on once the arrest was made.
This novel livestream method was unprecedented. Viewers understood and stayed glued, eagerly awaiting the moment.
At Tang Song’s home in Yunshen Court.
Song Qing, eager to please Tang Song, took a sip from the glass of water he handed her. Suddenly, she felt strange.
Light as a feather, as if she might float away, her vision blurred with shadows, which gradually resembled Xu Mo.
“Xu Mo, Xu Mo is nearby, I have to find him, hehehe…”
Stumbling out of the room, she opened the door and entered the elevator. Just as she left Building Four, plainclothes police officers stepped inside.
The dark livestream room finally brightened. Zhang Fan faced the camera and began to explain the case.
“Hello everyone, thank you for waiting. I’m Officer Zhang Fan from the Capital Public Security Bureau’s Anti-Drug Unit. We are currently arresting singer Tang Song on suspicion of drug use...”
At the same time, footage of Tang Song being escorted from the room by police appeared clearly before everyone.
His hair was disheveled, his face pale without a hint of color, his eyes hollow—gone was the charisma he once had on stage.
Upon seeing this, Tang Song’s fans completely collapsed.
“How could this happen? How?”
“My dear brother...”
“Tang Song! Didn’t you swear you were innocent? Fine, then I hope your wishes come true—you deserve a terrible fate!”
...
Besides the distraught fans, most people showed unprecedented enthusiasm toward Zhang Fan and the team.
“Thank you, officers!”
“Behind every star caught using drugs, there’s a dedicated police officer sacrificing for justice. Support the police! Such stars must not be tolerated!”
“When I saw in the ‘Blossoms at Farewell’ MV that the families of fallen anti-drug officers dare not openly pay respects for fear of retaliation, I realized drug dealers must die!”
Zhang Fan relaxed considerably as the comments differed from what he expected, the frustration from the fans’ words instantly dissipating.
In Yunshen Court, Song Qing clutched an angel doll, aimlessly searching for Xu Mo.
Nearby, the red and blue lights of police cars flickered painfully in her eyes. “What’s going on?”
She instinctively moved closer to see, only to unexpectedly witness Tang Song being escorted into a police car.
A uniformed officer spoke into a radio. Song Qing held her breath, listening carefully.
“There’s still one suspect missing… female, wearing a pink dress, about 23 years old, likely hasn’t gone far…”
Glancing at her own pink dress hem, the faint hope in her heart shattered as reality settled in. She felt as if plunged into an icy pit.
Turning around, she fled in panic.
Hiding in an inconspicuous corner, she desperately comforted herself, trying to calm her terror.
“It’s okay, Song Qing, you’re innocent. You didn’t know what that was—it was just a trick… Once those people leave, everything will be fine…”
Unexpectedly, a cheerful, upbeat voice she both hated and feared came from behind.
“Hey! Song Qing, what are you doing here?!”
Ji Fanxing smiled brightly, like a cat that had caught a mouse.
