Chapter 46: Entering Prison to Plot Against the Evil Cult

Half an hour later, Chen Fan understood why the system had determined his mission was not yet complete.

At this moment, over a dozen police officers had him cornered in his home, looking very much like they would resort to force at the slightest disagreement.

Leading them was the current captain of the Qingcheng City Criminal Investigation Brigade, a Second-tier Peak Ability User.

He looked at Chen Fan with a face as cold as frost.

"Good for you, Chen Fan, actually fabricating lies about the Beast Worship Cult just to cover up the fact that you committed murder. A person like you is truly heinous and deserves to die."

"Even if your talent is high, you must still face the sanctions of the law. Come with us."

These people did not wait for Chen Fan to explain at all, moving directly to handcuff him.

Chen Fan felt annoyed in his heart; he had ultimately underestimated the methods of the Beast Worship Cult.

He had already guessed that there must be a traitor among the people, and the plan to encircle and suppress the evil cult had likely been leaked to the Beast Worship Cult immediately.

This was also the reason why Cat Girl was so confident.

The current situation was extremely unfavorable for Chen Fan; he had to think of a way to break the deadlock.

He looked at the man in the lead and asked coldly, "Captain, may I ask your name?"

"What, you want revenge on me?" The captain sneered, saying disdainfully, "With your crimes, you are destined to spend your life in prison. If you want revenge on me, wait for your next life!"

However, at this moment, the system notification sound suddenly rang out in Chen Fan's mind.

"Host, please note: when faced with harassment, there is no need to endure. System mission: kill Li Wenqiang within three days! Mission rank: E-. Completing the mission allows participation in a Lottery Draw."

Chen Fan frowned slightly. This person's strength was already at the Second-tier Peak; he could not possibly be this person's match in a head-on confrontation. But fortunately, the mission time was three days, and he had plenty of time to kill the other party.

Chen Fan looked at him with an evil charm and called out his name directly.

"Your name is Li Wenqiang, right? I guess you have a younger brother named Li Wenbin, don't you?"

"Your brother made a bet with me, but his mentality was too poor, and he went crazy in the exam hall, resulting in his college entrance exam qualification being revoked."

"So, you want to abuse your power for personal revenge, right?"

Chen Fan's words were like sharp awls, piercing the captain's heart with every syllable.

He did not know how Chen Fan could recognize him, but this only intensified his fear and hatred toward Chen Fan.

"Cut the crap, get moving with me! Once we're back at the police station, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!" Li Wenqiang was so ashamed he turned to anger; he grabbed Chen Fan's arm and dragged him toward the outside of the house.

At the same time, he began to loudly recount Chen Fan's sordid acts and crimes, fearing that the onlookers watching the commotion wouldn't know what had happened.

On the way out of the residential complex, many citizens recognized Chen Fan and could not help but be surprised, discussing it among themselves.

"Isn't this the top scorer of the three-city joint exam? I didn't expect him to have committed murder."

"Why did I hear Captain Li shouting that Chen Fan not only killed someone but also defiled a first-year high school girl?"

"You really can't judge a book by its cover. I thought he was a hero; I didn't expect him to do such filthy things behind our backs."

The surrounding discussion was unbearable to hear. If Chen Fan didn't have thick skin and a good mentality, he might have wanted to die from embarrassment.

"These two Li brothers were truly born from the same parents; neither of them is any good!"

At this moment, Chen Fan felt that besides killing this Li Wenqiang, he needed to put in a little more effort to send that brat Li Wenbin to the Western Heaven as well.

As for being taken to the police station, he was not afraid in the slightest.

Chen Fan was always cautious in his actions. When he left that unfinished building yesterday, he had taken the dashcam from Li Yapeng's car.

It clearly recorded the events at the crime scene, and he had already handed this video over to Mayor Li Zhi.

Therefore, Li Zhi would definitely protect him; this was a certainty!

Just as Chen Fan was escorted to the police station, Li Zhi appeared there.

He dismissed everyone else, leaving only Chen Fan behind.

"Chen Fan, I was careless about this matter. I didn't expect that an eye of the Beast Worship Cult had been planted by my side. We didn't catch them this time."

"I had you brought in this way to confuse their eyes and ears, letting you act as bait to lure out the members of the Beast Worship Cult!"

"Given the style of the Beast Worship Cult, they will definitely send members to eliminate you. When that time comes, I will set up an inescapable net here. As long as we capture one member of the Beast Worship Cult, we will have a way to force them to reveal their hiding place!"

"Old Li, you should have communicated this to me in advance!" Chen Fan was somewhat displeased. He admitted that what Li Zhi said was correct, but he did not like the feeling of being controlled by others.

Li Zhi's expression stiffened, and he explained, "The situation is urgent. I don't know who around me is a good person or a bad person anymore, so I had no choice but to wrong you. After this is done, I will personally provide ten million as your compensation."

"That's more like it." Chen Fan's expression softened significantly.

He looked at Li Zhi and said, "The fewer people who know about your plan this time, the better. Also, the personnel sent to lurk must be carefully considered. If the spy is among them, I'm afraid I'll die without even knowing how."

"Rest assured, I will arrange this properly." Li Zhi nodded heavily and whispered a reminder to Chen Fan: "Time to act!"

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he stood up abruptly, slapped his palm onto the table with a 'bang', and roared loudly at the same time.

"Chen Fan, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. You have disappointed me too much!"

Li Zhi continued to roar loudly for several minutes before storming out in a fit of anger.

"Old Li's acting is a bit lacking." Chen Fan couldn't help but feel worried.

Soon, the news of Chen Fan's imprisonment for murder spread throughout Qingcheng City. He went from a teenage hero admired by everyone to a murderer despised by all.

Chen Fan didn't care; after all, Li Zhi had said he would provide ten million in compensation for his reputation and had promised to clarify the facts in public.

In the interrogation room, Criminal Investigation Captain Li Wenqiang sat in front of Chen Fan, staring at him fixedly like a vicious tiger.

"Chen Fan, do you know how Wenbin is doing now? Because of you, he has become a laughingstock to everyone. He hides at home, afraid to go out, and has become neurotic, even attempting suicide several times."

"Tell me, you were all classmates, why did you treat him like that! Why are you an Ability User! Why didn't you say you were an Ability User sooner!"

"Tell me, don't you deserve to die?"

Li Wenqiang spoke every word clearly, the hatred on his face seemingly turning into something tangible.

Chen Fan was speechless. So, only your brother is allowed to insult others, and I have to just obediently cooperate?

Chen Fan sneered and replied indifferently, "I can only tell you that your brother deserved it! Does trash like that even deserve to insult me?"

"Also, after I get out, I will make him fulfill the bet and streak in front of all the teachers and students!!!"

"You!" Li Wenqiang was so hateful he nearly bit his back teeth to pieces.

"Chen Fan, you are staring death in the face, yet you still dare to be this arrogant!"

If it weren't for the camera overhead, he would have already smashed his fist into Chen Fan's nose.

"Chen Fan, don't think that just because Mayor Li gave instructions not to use corporal punishment on you, I have no way to deal with you."

"I advise you to admit the fact that you committed murder sooner; I have already given orders that no one here will bring you food or Water, let's see how many days you can hold out!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he glared viciously at Chen Fan once more, then walked out of the interrogation room, unwilling to let it go.
