Chapter 123: Revenge

Lang An and Xiong Gu had long ago sworn a bitter oath in their hearts, vowing that from now on they would go around whenever they saw Cheng Shuili.

Who would have known such a day would come?

This terrifying human actually took the initiative to come to our door!

And even named them, sending the two of them to call the Chief!

Is the Chief easy to call? We'll get scolded again!

Lang An feels bitter inside, but he dares not speak. Xiong Gu is usually silent; now he is like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to voice his suffering.

Do they have any other choice?

The two beastfolk lock eyes, and that's that!

Lang An's tail is tucked between his legs; he really wants to let out a howl, but such behavior is clearly inappropriate here.

From afar Xiong Gu looks like a piece of wood; only up close can one see the panic and unease on his face.

The two beastfolk knock on the Chief's frosted-glass door and whisper, "Chief, someone is filing a report!"

The Chief gets a headache as soon as he sees the two beastfolk.

Really.

How many troubles have these two caused her these past days?

If she has to handle everything herself, what's the point of being Chief? Why recruit these people? Are they just here to eat free meals?

The Chief's face darkens, about to reprimand.

Lang An hurriedly says, "Lao Da, the one who came is that human, especially fierce!"

The Chief's expression freezes; his anger fades, and three hints of panic appear in his furrowed brows.

Xiong Gu mutters from beside, "She tied up Hu Ge and Hu Mei and just now also bound Shi Mao."

Chief: "???"

No way?

She hasn't been Chief for long, but certainly not a short time!

She's never heard of such a thing before!

The Chief hurriedly darts past the two beastfolk, pushes open the frosted-glass door and steps out; the scene before his eyes is exactly as Xiong Gu described.

Hu Ge and Hu Mei are both bound with rope, clearly dragged here, looking disheveled.

Shi Mao is obviously just bound, still stubbornly struggling.

Cheng Shuili smiles and greets, "I'm filing a report, Chief, please resolve it quickly; I don't have much time left here."

She is clearly smiling, yet the Chief feels a chill crawling up his spine—surely that's a threat?

Whatever it is, the Chief can be sure of one thing: she wants this human dealt with promptly.

"Lu Ling, come take the statement."

The Chief leads a deer‑headed beastfolk over; she invites Cheng Shuili to sit, and when the lights come on, it really has that vibe Cheng Shuili saw in a TV drama in a past life.

Cheng Shuili clears her throat twice and concisely explains what happened.

Hu Ge and Hu Mei never admit or acknowledge Cheng Shuili's account.

Hu Mei: "Chief, you're a beastfolk, you certainly wouldn't side with a human, would you?"

Hu Ge: "We did nothing, we only traded with this greedy human! She was dissatisfied with the deal and actually tied me up and brought me here."

After Cheng Shuili finishes speaking, she remains silent, her dark eyes fixed unblinking on the Chief.

The Chief clears his throat twice and, following procedure, asks, "Miss Human, do you have any evidence to prove what you say is true?"

Cheng Shuili hesitates briefly, then pulls the still‑intact room card from the Abyssal Ring.

"That's all."

Hu Ge bursts into laughter, "Hahaha, what can a card explain? Chief, we are the innocent ones!"

Hu Mei says nothing, but her face holds expectation.

Finally understanding the situation, Shi Mao trembles and says, "Chief, she's assaulting an officer!"

If this guy doesn't speak again, the Chief will forget him.

Shi Mao's incident occurred inside the police station; countless beastfolk can testify for Cheng Shuili, the penalty can't be avoided!

As for Hu Ge and Hu Mei…

The Chief wears a stern face and solemnly takes the card from Cheng Shuili's hand.

The Chief smiles at Cheng Shuili, "Our tech department can uncover all information linked to this access card! If your accusation is true…"

The Chief's gaze sweeps over the pale‑faced Hu Ge and Hu Mei, then turns back to Cheng Shuili and solemnly says, "We will certainly give you a satisfactory answer!"

Very good.

Sounds rather reliable!

Cheng Shuili gives a slight smile, watching Lu Ling deliver the room card to the tech department.

Hu Ge and Hu Mei look ashen, unable to utter a word.

Seeing their expressions, the Chief realizes Cheng Shuili's words are not false, yet the procedure must still be followed.

The tech department's results come out quickly, item by item, crystal clear!

The Chief, with a composed face, announces, "Hu Ge, Hu Mei, you lured a human! False transaction! According to Shou Ren Xiao Zhen's Article Three, effective today your business licenses are revoked, and you must compensate the victim human 3000 Game Coin! You will enter the little black room for reflection!"

"Miss Human, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

Cheng Shuili did not expect the two beastfolk's business licenses to be revoked, and that compensation could be obtained.

She nods; this result is already quite good.

As for being locked in the little black room, Cheng Shuili doesn't quite understand what that means, but guesses it's similar to imprisonment in a past life.

The Chief smiles and solemnly declares, "The judgment takes effect."

As her words fell, a system panel popped up instantly in front of Cheng Shuili.

【Congratulations on receiving compensation from Shou Ren Xiao Zhen, totaling three thousand Game Coin!】

Cheng Shuili didn't expect it to be this fast; she thought she'd have to wrangle with Hu Ge and Hu Mei a bit more, waiting for those two beastmen to come up with compensation before she could leave, but she didn't expect the system to directly deposit it into her account!

Having a system is really convenient.

Cheng Shuili sighed, just about to rise and say goodbye, when she heard the Chief's judgment on Shi Mao.

Just as she lifted her butt off the stool, it fell back down; she almost forgot about this crooked‑butt policeman.

"Shi Mao, you disregard rules and favor the criminal! I regret to inform you that you're not suited for police work—you've been fired from the precinct!"

Shi Mao had still been holding onto a last sliver of hope, but upon hearing the verdict he actually burst into tears.

Cheng Shuili felt a slight dissatisfaction; seeing this made her even more puzzled—just a dismissal? Could this be some serious punishment?

But time no longer allowed her to stay here and watch the spectacle.

Getting three thousand Game Coin as compensation wasn't bad; Cheng Shuili chuckled lightly, rose, and bade farewell.

The Chief nodded and instructed: "Miss Human, if you encounter fraud or kidnapping in Shou Ren Xiao Zhen, you can come to the precinct to file a report. But don't bring suspects over tied up like this."

The latter part is probably the point, right?

Cheng Shuili nodded, agreeing in principle, but exactly how to do it would depend on what she encounters later.

The Chief was clearly uneasy; she looked at the neat workstations outside and shouted: "Lang An! Xiong Gu! Escort this human lady!"

The two who were called: "......"

Revenge—this is definitely revenge!

Despite their many misgivings, they had to obey the Chief's orders.

The two beastmen followed behind Cheng Shuili with dejected heads.
