Chapter 173: Chapter 150: A Grand Show, Ignorance of All Beings (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Pass)

"Tang Tang, could I borrow Brother Ping’an for just one dance? Those annoying fellows over there have been surrounding me with their attentions, and I need an excuse to avoid them. Just one dance, only one."

Sun Lishu was quite adept at seizing opportunities.

She also knew how to save the situation indirectly, clearly inviting Zhou Ping’an to dance but instead asking Inspector Tang Tang for a favor.

She placed herself in an extremely vulnerable position, and at the same time, exposed the little girl’s schemes without any reservation.

Zhou Ping’an even doubted.

If Tang Tang didn’t give face and directly rebutted her,

probably, Sun Lishu would be humiliated and cry for a long time after running out.

He had figured it out, the calm-looking Sun Lishu was actually quite anxious... She must have mustered all her courage.

"Sure, monopolize him this time. I was just about to go to the restroom anyway."

Tang Tang said with a smile.

Gently pushing Zhou Ping’an towards Sun Lishu, as they passed by, she whispered in his ear, "No taking advantage, okay?"

Take advantage? You think too much.

Am I so desperate? Besides, Miss Sun Lishu is just suffering from stress after being taken hostage. I should be trying to get away from her, not get close; otherwise, the deeper she falls, the more difficult things will be to manage.

He believed Tang Tang must have also noticed this.

That’s why she could be so generous.

Because, in a way, Sun Lishu was actually like a patient right now.

You can’t be too harsh.

Otherwise, no one knows if a girl of her age, under emotional distress, would fall into a state of despair and get stuck in a vicious cycle she couldn’t escape from.

...

The sound of a piano echoed through the hall.

Tang Tang had not returned yet.

Sun Lishu was blushing throughout, infatuatedly stealing glances at Zhou Ping’an, and even occasionally couldn’t help but let out a covert giggle.

Zhou Ping’an, holding her waist and moving to the slow dance steps, felt numb in his mind.

Although Sun Lishu was young and attractive with a high beauty quotient, as long as he saw her father worrying from not far away, he wouldn’t entertain any thoughts.

They really think of me as a greenhorn.

"Thank you."

As the song ended, Sun Lishu—fulfilled and politely expressing her gratitude—was grinning with sweet satisfaction.

Just then, she felt incredibly comforted and at ease.

Like a child back in the warm embrace of her mother.

She was about to say something more,

when a waiter came over quietly and said in a low voice, "Inspector Zhou, Councilor Chen and Police Commissioner Wang have requested your presence."

"Oh?"

Zhou Ping’an’s eyes narrowed slightly, giving the waiter a profound look.

Something felt off,

but he didn’t read too much into it; he knew Madam Chen and Special Combat Squad captain Wang Yulin were sitting behind a screen, drinking tea, as he had observed earlier.

However, why did this waiter seem anxious?

"Lead the way."

While internally raising his vigilance, Zhou Ping’an didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Whether it was an attempt at alliance, a threat, or something else, with his current level of Five Desires Evil Art progressing to the Second Level Mental State and the King of Light’s Golden Body Technique at the peak of the Copper Body Realm,

in Dongjiang, he was mostly invincible.

All the plots and schemes were just a joke to him.

As he passed a screen, not yet reaching the tea area, he heard a loud scream from a room nearby, "Help!"

"Boom..."

The door was flung open violently, revealing the real estate tycoon’s son, Tan Shaoyang, who had just been seen recently, now viciously pinning a woman down and tearing at her clothes.

A distressing sight was partially exposed.

The woman screamed and struggled, with tearful and pitiful eyes looking out the door.

Zhou Ping’an recognized her at a glance.

The woman was the guest performer from earlier and the rising star known as the Little Queen, Su Wenjing.

’So this is what’s going on.’

At the first instance, Zhou Ping’an opened the small crocodile on his chest and a cold smirk appeared on his lips.

"Carry on with the act..."

The waiter by his side roared, "Somebody save her!" and charged forward impulsively.

Zhou Ping’an frowned and backhanded the man across the face, sending him spinning in the air for three and a half turns and crashing heavily to the ground, swelling up one side of his face and spitting out a few teeth...

"Why so dramatic? I’ve put up with you long enough."

The earlier tension in the waiter’s demeanor was now explained—he harbored ill intentions.

He had timed it perfectly to lead him into the trap.

Without asking, it was a setup.

However, such crude methods, surely they couldn’t lure him into the trap, and moreover, convince those prominent society members?

The next moment, Zhou Ping’an realized he was wrong.

The opponents’ acting skills were more adept than he imagined.

They were, after all, public figures.

One was an internet celebrity and a celebrity son from a wealthy family.

The other was the Little Queen, a rising star with considerable fame in singing and acting.

Tan Shaoyang appeared to be kicked backward as though he had been kicked.

He crashed out of the room, knocking over the screen, with fresh red liquid leaking from the corner of his mouth—whether it was chicken blood, pig’s blood, or tomato paste...

And the pitiful little white flower, Su Wenjing, looked at him with a mix of grievance and a hint of resentment, as if he were the one who had just violated her.

At the same time,

Movement was heard from all directions...

All the main lights in the large hall lit up, as bright as daylight.

And with the screen collapsing,

Countless pairs of eyes turned to look over.

There was Madam Chen, Police Commissioner Wang Yulin, Councilman Sun, Yao Zhenbang, and many other familiar and unfamiliar business magnates, as well as heads of various departments in Dongjiang.

Of course, Tang Tang and Sun Lishu also heard the news and rushed over.

Both of their faces changed dramatically.

It was clear that they saw the dire situation Zhou Ping’an was in.

"Zhou Ping’an, you were just commended earlier, I thought you were a figurehead of the Dongjiang Police Security, but it turns out that appearances can be deceiving. You are such a beast in human clothing, taking advantage of the influence of alcohol to attempt to forcibly, to forcibly..."

Tan Shaoyang, while coughing up "blood," angrily rebuked him.

Everyone was in an uproar.

It was clear from their expressions.

Zhou Ping’an was the assailant.

Even the "victim" Su Wenjing looked at him with hatred as if he were her father’s murderer: "When I first met you, you looked so righteous, and I wasn’t on guard. But I didn’t expect that by calling me over, you would be so despicable and vile..."

With these words.

Almost everyone’s gaze towards Zhou Ping’an turned very hostile.

Then, Zhou Ping’an understood.

Why the other party would continue this incredibly clumsy act.

Because they were confident.

Confident that they could bring all the bystanders to their side to become their "helpers."

As Su Wenjing finished her sentence,

Even with Zhou Ping’an’s strong spiritual power, he felt a slight tremor in his heart, and the Red Lotus Heart Seal in his mind quietly stirred.

Let alone the others.

Without a second thought, they immediately lost their reason, reacting reflexively to believe Su Wenjing’s words.

Even if there were doubts in their minds, they tended to believe her story seven or eight out of ten times.

"Ridiculous!" Madam Chen’s face was ashen as she scolded furiously.

"You actually did such a shameful thing," Police Commissioner Wang was even more incensed.

"That’s just too desperate."

"Miss Su is so gentle and lovely, how could he bear to hurt her?"

Amidst the public’s denunciation,

Tang Tang suddenly stood up: "Zhou Ping’an was just dancing with us a moment ago, where would he have had the time to do this? This matter is highly suspicious, let’s not believe one-sided statements."

Sun Lishu was uncharacteristically brave this time, standing tall and shouting loudly: "I even had the last dance with Big Brother Zhou, Dad, you believe me."

Councilman Sun coughed lightly, about to say something.

But he was drowned out by the multitude of voices coming from all around.

Tang Tang and Sun Lishu were reasonable, of course.

But facing these socialites who were unwilling to listen to any words, their calls were incredibly faint.

What did it matter if they listened? No one would believe them anyway.

They just assumed in their minds that these two women must want to cover up for each other.

Because they had a good relationship with Zhou Ping’an and were friends, speaking up for him was unreliable.

"If I said this was a trap, I guess none of you would believe it, would you..."

Zhou Ping’an’s voice was soft, yet bizarrely resonating in everyone’s ears, loud and clear.

Although he knew it would be useless, he still had to speak.

At that moment, he finally understood what the other party’s killer move was.

Spiritual Charm!

Su Wenjing actually knew this.

And she was even capable of concealing some of her own thoughts...

He had felt something was amiss earlier.

It should be here.

With her ability to gain fame so quickly, there had to be a contribution from this.

The problem was, whose pawn was she?

For what reason did she target him?

To set such a trap and take action with a Little Queen like her was a sure-kill, the other party truly valued him highly.

Zhou Ping’an had some speculations in his heart, but he wasn’t in a hurry to verify them, some things still needed to be made clear, as part of the investigation process.

Besides, he had been recording the entire time, and once the account was unblocked later, this drama would undoubtedly attract many followers. It was best to explain the background clearly first...

He then chuckled: "I had just arrived when I saw Tan Shaoyang pouncing on Su Wenjing with dishonorable intentions, and this waiter here actually guided me over right at that moment.

The situation is that simple. If you don’t believe me, then check the surveillance.

Each person might lie or give false testimony due to their position. But cold machines, they do not lie..."

"I’m sorry, the surveillance is not working. There is no coverage in the front hall or the back garden,"

a slightly overweight middle-aged man slowly walked out.

He was, of course, the manager of the Triumph Hotel.

The surveillance wasn’t actually broken.

It was just an unspoken rule that during a dance, it wasn’t supposed to be turned on.

In a venue where so many big shots and celebrities were gathering, there were strict rules regarding when surveillance should be on and when all video and audio equipment should be turned off.

Otherwise, randomly turning on surveillance would leave these elite individuals without a shred of privacy, turning their meetings into what exactly?

If it leaked, it would cause a major incident.

So, the hotel manager, speaking about the surveillance failure, had no semblance of guilt at all.

"Zhou Ping’an, you’re lying...

You claim that my son, Tan Shaoyang, was going to forcefully insult Miss Su, but you don’t know that Miss Su had already accepted my son’s proposal and they are engaged, so how could they possibly engage in indecent acts here?"

A lean man with a small stature but a powerful presence stepped forward.

"It’s Director Tan..."

"Director Tan is right, his son is young and handsome, talented and dignified, he could have any woman he wants, his reputation has always been excellent, he has never forced himself on anyone..."

"It can only be said that this man, caught in the act, still wants to slander Young Master Tan, he is speaking without any sense."
