140: War Correspondent (Bonus Chapter)

Jiang Ye didn't hesitate anymore, pulled out his phone, found the contact for "Officer An Xin," and dialed the number.

The call connected quickly, and An Zhengjun's voice came from the other end:

"Jiang Ye? What is it now?"

"Hello? Officer An! Oh my god, something big has happened..."

Just as Jiang Ye started, Zhang Wenhai's fierce gaze glared over:

"What the fuck are you doing?! Who are you calling?!"

"...?"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Oh, right. The guy was in the middle of committing a crime. Calling the police right in front of him was a bit disrespectful to the criminal.

He quickly made an apologetic gesture to Zhang Wenhai, waved the phone in his hand, and said in a "sincere" tone:

"Sorry, big brother, I... my girlfriend is checking up on me. I'll just take this, take this... I'll go into the bedroom to take it, I promise I won't affect your performance."

Zhang Wenhai snorted coldly and threatened, "Hmph! Keep your damn voice down!"

After saying that, his attention returned to Lin Wanxing, who was glaring at him.

Jiang Ye walked into the bedroom with his phone, leaving the door slightly ajar. While keeping an eye on the situation outside, he pulled out the knife from his chest and tested its feel.

Speaking of which... if he just threw a flying knife right now, it would count as self-defense, right?

On the phone, An Zhengjun was shouting, "Hello?", "Hello?", "Jiang Ye? What the hell are you doing?"

"Officer An! Something really big has happened!"

Jiang Ye put the phone to his ear, "aiming" while reporting:

"Zhang Wenhai! Miss Lin's ex-boyfriend! He broke into Miss Lin's house with a knife! It's absolutely lawless!"

"What did you say?!"

An Zhengjun's voice instantly became serious. "Breaking and entering with a knife? Are you sure?!"

"Absolutely certain! Officer An! He's too arrogant! I can't even stand to watch anymore!"

"Miss Lin sent you a distress message? Send me the specific location!"

"The address is Jindi Shangfeng Residential Area, Building 7, Room 1602! Officer An, hurry up!"

"Alright! I'll report this immediately and have the nearby police head over first. Keep your phone on—"

An Zhengjun spoke urgently, then suddenly paused as if he sensed something was wrong. "Wait... you said you can't stand to watch anymore? You're at the scene too?"

Jiang Ye said righteously, "Yeah! I'm here! They're facing off in the living room right now, the atmosphere is super tense! I'm hiding in the bedroom calling you!"

"Zhang Wenhai broke in with a knife to commit a crime, and you... just happen to be at the scene again?"

"Yeah!"

"He's violently threatening Lin Wanxing right now... yet you can... hide in the bedroom and leisurely call me to report it?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly it!"

"No, wait a minute..."

An Zhengjun's voice was full of disbelief. "I thought I heard a male voice say 'keep it down' just now... was that fucking Zhang Wenhai?"

Jiang Ye's tone was incredibly "aggrieved." "Officer An, please investigate! He's the one who told me to keep it down! He's too rampant! He even tried to control my phone calls!"

"..."

Black lines instantly appeared on An Zhengjun's forehead; he felt like his whole world was falling apart. "Jiang Ye! I'm warning you, filing a false police report carries legal consequences!"

"Heaven and earth be my witness, Officer An! Every word is the truth!" Jiang Ye cried out.

"You fucking..."

An Zhengjun rubbed his temples. "Fine, fine, fine, I get it. Since Zhang Wenhai is so 'reasonable' that he even lets you make phone calls, why don't you have him come to the Police Station to turn himself in later! I have some things to do here, first—"

"Officer An, you still don't believe me, do you?"

Before he could finish, Jiang Ye interrupted, "How about this, I'll risk my life to go to the living room and start a video livestream for you! But I have to stay muted—he told me to keep it down, so we'll communicate via text!"

After saying that, without waiting for An Zhengjun's reaction, Jiang Ye hung up and quickly sent a video call invitation.

The video connected quickly, and An Zhengjun's frowning face appeared on the screen.

Just as he was about to question him, he saw the camera on Jiang Ye's end shake for a moment and then point toward the living room—

On the screen, Zhang Wenhai, holding a dagger with a hideous expression, appeared prominently in the center of the frame. He was waving the knife and ranting wildly at Lin Wanxing, who was standing at the kitchen door.

Then the camera panned slightly, catching Su Ning curled up on the sofa, her face pale!

Based on the expressions and positions of the three people, as well as the weapon in Zhang Wenhai's hand, the experienced An Zhengjun instantly confirmed: this was definitely not an act or a joke, but a real crime scene in progress!

But the problem was... seeing Jiang Ye come out of the bedroom with one hand tucked into his chest, Zhang Wenhai immediately became alert: "Damn it! What's in your shirt?!"

Jiang Ye held his phone in his left hand and gripped the knife handle tightly in his shirt with his right. He said sincerely, "Big brother, I have a heart condition, I have to hold it..."

"If you're sick, go get treated! Don't wander around here!"

Zhang Wenhai snorted and turned back to vent at Lin Wanxing: "Lin Wanxing! I'm saying this for the last time! You fucking cooperate! Once I've had enough fun, I'll consider letting you go! But if you dare to resist..."

He raised the dagger, a ruthless look on his face. "Don't blame me for being heartless and drawing some blood first!"

An Zhengjun: "..."

Wait!

I just want to ask!

What the fuck is this bizarre scene?

A serious criminal case is happening over there, and there's actually a guy next to it doing a livestream?

What kind of person is this cameraman? A War Correspondent?

Jiang Ye held up his phone and walked between Zhang Wenhai and Lin Wanxing, making sure this idiot couldn't hurt his two Girls, then started typing with one hand: [Officer An! Did you see that?! I wasn't lying to you!]

An Zhengjun looked at this ridiculous scene and even began to doubt his own judgment:

[Are you guys filming some prank show? Or... did you join some weird media company? I'm telling you, if it's the latter, that's also illegal!]

Jiang Ye: [Brother An! Sir! I've never even heard of things like Madou or Tangxin! I'm just an innocent bystander! I just happened to run into this! I'm also desperate!]

An Zhengjun: [How the fuck can this be a coincidence? And he even allows you to livestream? Are you guys in this together?!]

Jiang Ye: [That's why I'm saying he's arrogant! Disregarding the law, knowingly breaking it, publicly provoking the police—that's an extra charge! Hmm... I suspect he might have some mental issues. Officer An, hurry up and come take him away!]

An Zhengjun looked at the scene in the video that was beyond his understanding and felt his blood pressure rising: [Xiao Jiang, I'm telling you one last time, if this is a false report or if you're pulling some stunt, the consequences will be severe...]

Before he could finish typing, Zhang Wenhai's wild laughter came through the video.

He seemed to have completely lost his patience. Pointing the dagger at Lin Wanxing and then at Su Ning on the sofa, he leered:

"Damn it! Stop wasting time! Lin Wanxing! And that little chick on the sofa! Hurry up! Take your pants off! Don't force me to put a hole in each of you first!"

An Zhengjun: "..."

"Fuck!"

He cursed under his breath and immediately growled into the microphone in a low voice, "Jiang Ye! Listen! Keep the video running! Stabilize him as much as possible! Don't provoke him! Our people will be there soon!"

After saying that, he immediately grabbed the landline on his desk.
