Chapter 23 Angry Curse

The Policewoman checked inside the wallet and nodded, "That's right! Not a cent missing! This is your wallet. Please come with us to the Police Station to make a statement!"

Wang Dali nodded and said, "No problem! Comrade Police, I only have one request: arrest him and put him in jail. Definitely don't let him off easily!"

Lin Tian looked completely bewildered.

How could someone else's wallet be in his own pocket?

“Then where is my wallet?” Lin Tian hurriedly felt around, a look of panic and confusion crossing his face.

The Policewoman gave a cold laugh: “Are you asking me? Stop acting. Once the surveillance footage is pulled, the truth will come to light!”

Lin Tian explained flusteredly, “Comrade Police, you've really misunderstood me. I don't know why his wallet is in my pocket either. This wallet was clearly mine!”

“And everyone saw just now, I made several millions just by gambling on stones. Do I really need to steal a wallet with only one or two thousand in cash?”

The surrounding crowd looked at each other.

Although they didn't quite believe that someone with Lin Tian's treasure-appraising ability would steal a wallet...

Who could explain why Wang Dali's wallet appeared in Lin Tian's pocket?

[Holy crap! This female officer couldn't be the Spicy Overlord Flower, Mu Hanyan, could she?]

[Isn't this the plot from Chapter 7? Why has it moved up?]

[According to the original plot's development, the troublesome Tyrant Flower Mu Hanyan will soon investigate and find out that the whole thing was a huge mix-up. Lin Tian and Wang Dali's wallets were identical, and when the two were buying things at the same stall, they both pulled out their wallets wanting to snatch the same raw stone.]

[After Lin Tian and Wang Dali finished their argument, Lin Tian took one of the wallets without looking, and the remaining wallet fell onto the ground at the stall, only to be found by the stall owner when he was packing up!]

[Once this Spicy Overlord Flower learns the truth and realizes she misunderstood Lin Tian, she will feel all sorts of guilt towards him. In the future plot, the two of them will have various interactions.]

[Until finally, the Spicy Overlord Flower turns into a soft little cotton ball and joins Lin Tian's harem, loving only Lin Tian for the rest of her life, even saying that most classic line from power-fantasy novels—]

['I don't care how many women you have, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough!' Tsk tsk tsk, this is the power of Lin Tian's protagonists halo, able to turn a dominant and overbearing Tyrant Flower like she is now into a brainless girl in love!]

“Who? Who's speaking!”

Mu Hanyan's face was frosty, her delicate frame trembling with anger as her icy gaze swept over the surrounding crowd.

Dammit!

Who exactly had the nerve to arrange her, a member of the police force, like this?

Don't they know that spreading rumors leads to jail time?

The surrounding crowd looked at each other.

Everyone looked at one another, all of them completely confused.

Speaking?

Did someone speak just now?

The Male Officer asked in confusion, “Captain Mu, what's wrong?”

Mu Hanyan said through gritted teeth, “Who was speaking just now?”

“Speaking?” The Male Officer pointed at Lin Tian and replied, “Only he was speaking just now! This guy is still making excuses. I think we should take him back first and interrogate him properly. Once the surveillance is out, he'll have nothing left to say!”

Mu Hanyan glanced coldly at Lin Tian and snapped, “It wasn't him! Someone else was speaking, did none of you hear it?”

“Captain Mu, you worked too late last night and got up too early this morning. You should pay more attention to resting...” the Male Officer advised tactfully.

“Are you saying I'm having auditory hallucinations?” Mu Hanyan gritted her teeth.

She definitely heard a voice just now; that sleazy voice was absolutely real!

But she couldn't distinguish who the voice belonged to.

[What's up with this Spicy Overlord Flower? If she's tired, she should go rest. Why is she acting out here?]

[No one at the scene was speaking just now! I only said a few things in my heart. Could she actually hear my inner thoughts? Isn't that ridiculous?]

Inner thoughts?

Mu Hanyan's gaze swept over the crowd and quickly noticed a figure.

Everyone at the scene looked bewildered, except for that guy who had a sleazy look on his face!

It must be him!

She could actually hear his inner thoughts?

Incredible!

Mu Hanyan took a deep breath, not showing any outward sign, and said calmly, “Xiao Liang, go check the stalls outside. You might find something!”

“Captain Mu, then him...”

“Just go!” Mu Hanyan said impatiently.

She just wanted to confirm if what Jiang Chenfeng was saying in his heart was actually true.

If there really was a wallet at that stall, and it was Lin Tian's wallet, then it would prove Jiang Chenfeng was telling the truth!

“Fine!”

The Male Officer left the Precious Jade Pavilion without understanding why.

About a few minutes later.

The Male Officer ran back excitedly, holding a wallet in his hand, and shouted: “Captain Mu! Captain Mu! You're amazing! I found an identical wallet, and the ID inside belongs to a kid named Lin Tian!”

Mu Hanyan reached out and took Lin Tian's wallet, glanced at the ID inside, then gave Lin Tian a meaningful look and asked, “Now I'm asking you, what's inside your wallet?”

“One ID card, two bank cards! And twenty-five hundred in cash. Oh, right, one of the bank cards is a VIP credit card from the International Commercial Bank, with a limit of one billion... US dollars!” Lin Tian stood tall, speaking proudly.

Mu Hanyan pulled a bank card out of the wallet. Seeing that it was entirely in English, it was indeed exactly as Lin Tian described.

She casually tossed the wallet to Lin Tian and said calmly, “Alright! The wallet is returned to you! This matter is a misunderstanding. Since your wallet styles are identical, you took the wrong wallet just now.”

[Wait, that's not right! The plot is wrong! How did this Spicy Overlord Flower know it was a misunderstanding? How did she know Lin Tian accidentally took the wrong wallet?]

[Hiss... The plot has changed, but the ending shouldn't change, right? The Spicy Overlord Flower will definitely still have interactions with Lin Tian, and she will definitely fall deeply in love with him!]

[The plot has moved forward, and it's also changed, but as long as the final result hasn't changed, it doesn't really matter how the process changes! This is what they call 'outside of reason, but within expectations'!]

[This Spicy Overlord Flower is destined to be one of Lin Tian's harem, destined to say that classic line.]

Mu Hanyan's face grew darker and darker. She glanced over at Jiang Chenfeng and said nothing.

The Male Officer prepared to put away the handcuffs and said, “Captain Mu, since it's a misunderstanding, let's head back!”

“Head back my foot! I suspect this guy is related to an overseas criminal organization. Arrest him immediately; I want to interrogate him personally!” Mu Hanyan cursed angrily.

Lin Tian was stunned!

It was already proven to be a misunderstanding, so why was he still being arrested?

Jiang Chenfeng was also dumbfounded.

This really was... outside of reason, but within expectations!
