Chapter 665: Chapter 657: Who’s Acting Strange? I Also Have Diplomatic Immunity

Dongfang Capital, a certain alleyway.

"Run fast, the Cold-faced Ashura is coming!"

Accompanied by a cry of alarm, a group of organized pickpockets scattered in all directions, abandoning even the stolen goods they were trading.

They fled in all directions, specifically choosing dark alleys and paths, burrowing through them as quickly as rats.

It was necessary; the person coming for them was too fierce, they had to escape.

Even so, the leaders of the pickpockets knew that once the Cold-faced Ashura made a move, they would be in trouble today.

A pickpocket had just vaulted over a wall when, before he could get a clear view of the other side, he was struck in the face by a large hand and then lost consciousness.

Not far away, another pickpocket ran towards the fire escape of a building, climbing up to the fifth floor in one go, ready to rush up to the sixth floor to gain the high ground.

But just as he looked up, he saw a figure already waiting at the stairwell on the sixth floor.

"Spare..."

Before he could get the word out, he was slapped across the face by a large hand, and he too lay down.

The pickpockets who had scattered, within one minute, had been largely taken down, and they hadn’t even gotten a clear look at their assailant.

Two minutes later.

Two pickpockets ran into each other in an alleyway.

They leaned against the concrete wall together, trembling as they looked around.

There was no movement for the moment.

"How can it be, we’re just pickpockets, the loot we share is only a thousand or so, how could we attract the attention of the Cold-faced Ashura from the Investigation Department?"

"You’re asking me? I don’t know either, but I’ve heard that once the Cold-faced Ashura takes action, it’s either death or crippling injuries!"

"Not only that, everyone who’s been injured and disabled couldn’t find a reason to sue. Aren’t we going to suffer the same fate?"

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, when the time comes we can just kneel down, after all, the person is an enforcement officer. If we kneel, maybe we can..."

Boom!

Just as the two were discussing what kneeling position would be more comfortable for them, the concrete wall behind them exploded.

They were immediately overwhelmed by the sheer force of the blast and the collapsing wall, losing consciousness.

As the dust settled, a figure slowly stepped out from the large hole broken in the wall.

Dark combat uniform, cold eyes, floating black hair, and the movement of the wrists, all revealed the merciless nature of the newcomer.

"Xia Qian, I told you not to make such a big scene, why did you tear down the wall again?"

At that moment, Old Xing, who was not far away, ran over, panting as he did.

He couldn’t help it; he was old and couldn’t keep up with the younger ones—just a few minutes of running was too much for him.

"I was just hitting the wall, I didn’t know anyone was behind it, let alone that this wall was so flimsy," Xia Qianyue said with a cold face, pointing to the collapsed concrete wall as Old Xing approached.

"Alright, whatever you say, no one will believe that a girl like you could punch through a twenty-centimeter-thick concrete wall anyway, right?"

Old Xing was no longer surprised; this was typical of Xia Qianyue, who, under the guise of a ’fragile girl,’ often acted extravagantly.

"If these two on the ground decide to sue, they’ll have to go after the construction company that built the wall because it was their substandard wall that caused the collapse," Xia Qianyue said, spreading her hands innocently.

"Right, right, the blame’s not on you, we understand," Old Xing agreed, unfazed.

He knew that this young lady studied law in her free time and treaded the edges of legality.

Xia Qianyue’s actions never violated any regulations, and not once had she been sued for any collateral damage caused by her actions because these people couldn’t even find a loophole.

It was true to the saying, only those who study and understand the law are the real outlaws!

Ding!

Just then, Xia Qianyue’s phone suddenly rang.

A text message caught her attention.

[Are you there? I have something to tell you, it’s very important!]

It was a message from Xiao Baihe, and it seemed like something significant had happened for her to have sent it.

Xia Qianyue immediately replied to the message.

[Come to this address, fast!]

Xiao Baihe sent an address back, and Xia Qianyue responded that she would be there soon.

"Old Xing, I have to go ahead, there’s something important!"

"Hey, aren’t we still on a mission?"

"The theft gang has been dealt with by me, just contact the field officers nearby, they won’t wake up anytime soon," Xia Qianyue said, and then with a flash, she was already on the roof of a nearby six-story building. After a few swift movements, she disappeared.

"My goodness, she’s like Spider-Man!"

Old Xing couldn’t help but comment as he watched the scene unfold.

Though he had witnessed Xia Qianyue’s skill many times while in Unit 7, he couldn’t help but remark each time.

After all, this was not something an ordinary human could do.

...

Several kilometers away, a roadside coffee shop.

Xiao Baihe and Xia Qianyue sat facing each other.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Baihe organized his thoughts.

"Simple-minded person, what I am about to tell you, you must not get excited, okay!"

"Just say it."

"You have to promise me, you absolutely must not get excited, and don’t do anything rash!"

"Just say it."

"You need to adjust your mood, I’m afraid that after I tell you, you’ll make a big scene, and if you lose control, it would be too dangerous."

"Just say it."

"You..."

"If you’re not going to say it, then I’m leaving, okay?"

Xia Qianyue made as if to leave.

"Hey, wait, I’ll tell you, isn’t that okay!"

Xiao Baihe reluctantly had to mentally organize his words countless times, thinking about how to break the explosive news in a way that would allow the person in front of him to accept it as much as possible.

In the end, Xiao Baihe thought she could test the other person’s attitude.

"Actually, have you ever thought that Zhang Wei might still be alive?"

After she asked, she still looked at the person in front of her, blinking several times.

"Oh."

"Oh?"

Xiao Baihe: ???

"Is that what you wanted to tell me, just this?"

"Simple-minded person, your reaction is a bit off, aren’t you too calm?"

"Am I?"

Xia Qianyue spread her hands, her face the picture of tranquility.

That made Xiao Baihe even more puzzled.

Is it me who has a problem, or is it you?

"What if I told you that Zhang Wei really is alive, and I’ve just seen him?"

"Really? You’ve seen him, he’s come back?"

A flicker of excitement and exhilaration surfaced on Xia Qianyue’s indifferent face, followed by a blink.

Xiao Baihe: ???

"Is that it, just that?"

She couldn’t believe that this simple-minded person in front of her only had such a slight reaction.

Shouldn’t the other person be immediately asking how Zhang Wei is still alive, why he could survive, and where I met him?

Then shouldn’t the other person’s cosmos explode, transform into a Super Saiyan, draw their sword and march directly into the Investigation Department Headquarters and rescue Zhang Wei amid a host of strong enemies?

Why is the other person’s reaction so bland?

Xiao Baihe felt is it her who’s not normal, or is Xia Qianyue really off?

"Wait, you didn’t know beforehand that guy was still alive, did you?"

As Xiao Baihe pressed for answers, Xia Qianyue took off her combat gloves, and then pulled out a beautifully crafted small box from her pocket, from which she took out a sparkling diamond ring and put it on the ring finger of her right hand.

"Xiao Baihe, do you think this ring looks good on me?"

Xiao Baihe: o((⊙﹏⊙))o?

Alright, now Xiao Baihe finally realized the problem.

"No way, you knew all along, didn’t you?"

"Yeah."

Faced with Xiao Baihe’s questioning, Xia Qianyue admitted it promptly.

"I knew a long time ago that Zhang Wei wasn’t dead, I just didn’t tell any of you."

"Damn, you..."

In that moment, Xiao Baihe felt like he was a resident of Arkham, able to go to Gotham City to audition as the Dark Knight’s antagonist.

So Xia Qianyue knew all along, and he had been deceived for a whole two years?

Ding ling ling!

Xiao Baihe hadn’t had time to process the shock, when his phone rang.

"Hello hello hello, Xiao Baihe, we’re at the entrance to the Investigation Department, are you coming? To rescue someone together?"

From the other end of the phone came Zhao Xiaoxiao’s annoyed voice.

"I..."

"Oh, Zhang Wei is at the Investigation Department, let’s go!"

Xiao Baihe hadn’t responded yet, but Xia Qianyue had already preempted her.

Then, Xiao Baihe felt herself being completely lifted by someone.

"Simple-minded one, don’t, I have a fear of heights, don’t do this—"

"Let’s go!"

In a state of shock, Xiao Baihe felt her entire body take flight, followed by her vision blurring and her screams piercing the sky.

...

minutes later.

Outside the main entrance of the Investigation Department Headquarters.

Xia Qianyue’s face was serious, the prettiness of her features replaced by indifference and gravity.

Beside her, Zhao Xiaoxiao squinted slightly, the adorable young girl also exercising extreme caution at this moment.

Mo Yuzhu was slapping her face to force herself to stay alert.

Even though she had stayed up late last night and barely slept today, she must control the sleepiness within her, she could not sleep.

Next to her, holding a small mirror and checking if her makeup was appropriate, was Jessica.

In two years’ time, it hadn’t left any mark on her appearance; she was still just as charming, making men unable to take their eyes off her.

However, Jessica looked doubtfully at her companion; Xiao Baihe’s hair was a mess, and there were even tear stains at the corners of her eyes, which were now red and swollen.

God knows how she got here, God knows how loudly she had been crying just now.

"Let’s go in and save him!"

With a small wave of her hand, Zhao Xiaoxiao was ready to lead the way into the Investigation Department Headquarters.

But just as she was about to step forward, she saw that the gates of the headquarters swung wide open, and a number of Investigation Department agents were respectfully seeing someone out.

"I apologize, Mr. Zhang Wei, it was our subordinates’ negligence that disturbed you."

"Sorry, sorry, ha, respected Mr. Zhang Wei, we from the Investigation Department offer our sincere apologies to you."

"Mr. Zhang, please go slowly, we’re busy here, we are all very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, please forgive us."

As the senior leaders of the Investigation Department apologized one after another, Zhang Wei really did come out.

"This..."

Zhao Xiaoxiao, Mo Yuzhu, Xiao Baihe, and even Xia Qianyue and Jessica, all looked in unison at the figure walking out amidst the respectful send-off from the Investigation Department bigwigs, and were stunned on the spot.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t he taken away by the Investigation Department?

Why are they so polite in sending you out?

Is there something wrong with us, or is there something wrong with you?

"Yo ho, you’re all here?"

Zhang Wei walked to the gate and saw the five girls in front of him, immediately smiling.

"Simple-minded one, Xiao Xiao, Zhuzhu, Old Xiao, and Jessica, have you all come to pick me up?"

"Zhang Wei, you, they..."

Because the scene just now was too shocking, Zhao Xiaoxiao and the four women all stood there in a daze.

"Oh, they escorted me out. You have to say, the leaders of the Investigation Department are quite sensible, and they were very polite to me too!"

"But they... didn’t they arrest you... for the case before..."

"Hehe, I forgot to tell you, I now have diplomatic immunity, so they can do nothing about me!"

"Diplomatic immunity?"

The five women, Zhao Xiaoxiao included, looked at each other, utterly confused.

How did you get diplomatic immunity, how could you possibly have it?

Time rewinds to 30 minutes ago...

Investigation Department, interrogation room.

"No way, you guys didn’t actually think you could catch me, did you?"

"No way, no way..."

Zhang Wei’s taunting inside the interrogation room was making Hou Liangliang and the rest look very displeased.

"Zhang Wei, you may be smug now, but soon..."

"Soon the leaders of the Investigation Department will personally come to escort me out, so please don’t worry, I will be fine after this, at least better than all of you."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei reached into his pocket.

"What are you doing!"

The interrogator immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

He, however, did not pull out a weapon, as they had searched Zhang Wei thoroughly when he was brought in; there was nothing on him that posed a threat.

"Oh, nothing, I just have an invitation here, Hou and I are old acquaintances. I’ll give you an invitation—come to my party tomorrow night, ha!"

Saying so, Zhang Wei passed out the invitation.

The interrogator signaled with his eyes to the officer, who immediately took over and carefully opened it.

"Tomorrow evening at 8 PM, Dongfang Capital International Hotel?"

"Yes, that’s the time and place for tomorrow’s banquet. Remember to come, Prosecutor Hou."

Upon hearing Zhang Wei refer to himself as Xiao Hou multiple times, Hou could no longer bear it.

I am the hero of Dongfang Capital, and you actually call me like this, is there no respect at all?

Zhang Wei seemed to sense Hou Liangliang’s internal grumbling, sneered inwardly, do you know how you got this hero title, don’t you have any idea, you’ve been playing ’hero’ for so long, do you really think you are someone important?

"Hmph, you are hosting a banquet tomorrow evening, whether you can get out today is still a question, I’m going to apply for your detention for 48 hours right now!"

"Is that so? But my people also filed a declaration with the Investigation Department, and your detention will not be approved!"

"Your people, what people do you have, you a fugitive..."

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as Hou Liangliang was preparing to continue his tirade, the door to the interrogation room was knocked on.

"Prosecutor Hou, someone has come down from above, they want to see you, and this Mr. Zhang Wei too!"

"From above, to see me and him?"

Hou Liangliang hadn’t yet come to grips with the situation when a group of big shots walked into the Investigation Department office, into the interrogation room, and approached Zhang Wei.

The leader was none other than the head of Dongfang Capital Investigation Department.

His weathered face was stern as he entered the interrogation room, glanced at Hou Liangliang, then fixed his gaze firmly on Zhang Wei.

"That is Zhang Wei!"

"Indeed, it is I."

The question was cold and emotionless.

But the next second, the head’s face suddenly broke into a smile.

"Oh my, so you are Mr. Zhang Wei, I’m truly sorry about this, our work has caused you trouble, my apologies, sincere apologies..."

This abrupt change took everyone in the room, including the head’s deputies, by complete surprise.

Leader, is this really necessary...

"What are you standing around for, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhang Wei, do you want to escalate this incident into a diplomatic issue?"

The head once again tightened his face and began issuing orders to everyone around him with solemnity in his voice.

"This..."

"Quickly!"

With no other option, everyone had to lower their heads and apologize to Zhang Wei.

The head glared at everyone, then switched back to a smiling face.

"Mr. Zhang Wei, oh, I mean, Mr. King, are you satisfied now?"

"Mr. King!"

Hou Liangliang was stunned, what was the deal with this Zhang Wei, how did he become a king?

"Xiao Hou, are you curious, when did I become a king?"

Zhang Wei, as if guessing Hou Liangliang’s thoughts, let out a cold laugh: "Didn’t you have the slightest doubt?"

What doubt?

Hou Liangliang had no clue.

"Goodness me, I’ve given you so many hints, and you still have no clue, you really are..."

Zhang Wei’s tone was one of frustration: "Think about it, why did I choose Dongfang Capital International Hotel for my banquet, instead of the better, more prestigious, and more expensive Dongjiang Star Hotel?"

That’s right!

Hou Liangliang realized, with Zhang Wei’s character, he’d definitely choose the best.

Why not choose Dongjiang Star Hotel instead of Dongfang Capital International Hotel.

Isn’t the latter specifically serving foreign nationals and international friends?

Masaka!

"Correct, it’s that Masaka!"

Zhang Wei’s smile returned: "Apart from being a person from Dragon Country, I am also the king of Niuniu Archipelago. After establishing diplomatic relations with Dragon Country, I came here as a foreign ambassador."

"Oh, by the way, you remember Mr. Momoji and Mr. Xiao Mo Moji, who died two years ago, don’t you? Just like them, I possess diplomatic immunity!"

Diplomatic immunity!

This meant that Zhang Wei would not be detained, arrested, or even investigated by the law enforcement of the host country, and it was even less likely that he would be prosecuted. The host country’s criminal justice system also could not conduct surveillance on Zhang Wei.

Diplomatic immunity, an almost unsolvable protective charm.

"You possess diplomatic immunity..."

"Indeed, though Niuniu Archipelago is just a small island in the ocean, the Blue Star International Alliance has long recognized its international status, and I am its king, the sole foreign ambassador, thus I have diplomatic immunity in over 200 countries of Blue Star, including Dragon Country."

Hearing Zhang Wei say this with a smile, Hou Liangliang’s face turned exceedingly ugly.

Diplomatic immunity was indeed an unbreakable defense!
