CHAPTER 966: CHAPTER 966: ACTED COOL, COURTED DISASTER

The man taken away by the navy never expected that his attempt to show off would lead to being apprehended like this.

How did Shi Yaoguang manage to see through his identity?

Clearly, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know his identity at first, or else he wouldn’t have been let go back then.

Later, however, she directly exposed his identity, making him suspect that perhaps Shi Yaoguang didn’t know he was a wanted criminal and intentionally framed him.

Thinking this, the man began to shout.

"Help, murder! A big star can frame me just like that!"

Hearing his desperate cries, Shi Yaoguang paused in her steps.

The man’s face lit up with a triumphant smile.

But before he could revel in his glee, Shi Yaoguang said, "You know in your heart whether you’re a wanted criminal. Even if you refuse to admit it, it doesn’t matter. I don’t need your confession; evidence is all that’s needed."

With that, she produced a piece of paper.

A blank sheet of paper.

The man was puzzled, "What are you doing with that paper?"

Ignoring him, Shi Yaoguang took out a pen and swiftly wrote a few lines on it.

The man sneered, "Think it’s impressive to write fast?"

Saying this, Shi Yaoguang displayed what she had written.

Seeing clearly what she had written, the man turned pale and tried to bolt.

However, with the navy watching, there was no chance for him to escape.

He was promptly grabbed back.

Bold onlookers approached, curious about what the man had done.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t conceal anything and directly spoke.

"He once deliberately murdered a family and fled afterward."

"When he was out of money, he hired people to kidnap his parents, breaking their limbs, reducing them to beggars reliant on alms."

"Once they raised money, the majority of it would end up in his pocket."

After Shi Yaoguang’s explanation, the crowd’s gaze at the man changed.

One by one, they stepped back, wanting to distance themselves from the terrifying man.

This is too horrifying.

Truly...

You never really know someone.

Previously, hearing the man talk so smoothly, forcing Shi Yaoguang to reconcile with her parents, seemed reasonable enough since she refused.

But his duplicity was startlingly ironical.

The man never expected his cover to be blown, people looking at him as if he were a freak.

"How did you know about this? How do you know? It’s impossible for you to know..."

Listening to his murmuring, Shi Yaoguang smiled faintly, "If I want to know, naturally I will. But you... do you really think that I won’t know just because you don’t want me to? Naive."

He paled, "What do you mean? Are you..."

"You did it on purpose!" After long contemplation, the man came to a realization, "You must have known from the beginning, and you purposefully had people come to catch me, didn’t you?"

"Hmph! I should have known that you people, with your righteous airs, are ruthless when it comes to deceiving others!"

Hearing his agitated words, Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "If thinking this makes you feel better, I don’t mind letting you believe it."

The man was adamant that Shi Yaoguang had done it on purpose, believing she was engaging in entrapment.

Though he despised such behavior, he also felt a sense of relief.

He had long anticipated the day his true identity would be revealed.

Being captured in a plot orchestrated by Shi Yaoguang and the police was better than having his facade disrupted by simply trying to show off.

Thinking this through.

The man gave a relieved smile, "I’ve always known I’d be caught one day, but I’m not afraid at all. Do you know why?"

Who could know why he’d think that way?

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t read minds, so naturally, she didn’t know.

Looking at Shi Yaoguang, the man smirked, "I can tell you why I’m so pleased."

"The reason I got caught by you isn’t even an accident."

With that, he gave everyone a contemptuous look, "Having the police expend so many resources on finding me is a testament to my skill."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang twitched her mouth, "Oh, you’re rather proud, aren’t you?"

"Of course I am! What’s there not to be proud of?"

Those unaware might assume he’d achieved something noteworthy instead of committing a crime.

The navy, hearing the man’s words, responded with scorn.

"You’re thinking too highly of yourself. Elaborate plans for someone like you? Hardly."

Honestly, before Shi Yaoguang revealed he was a wanted criminal, they hadn’t even noticed.

As for what the man said...

Ha.

What a joke.

How could it be?

The man was initially in denial, but seeing everyone’s disdainful expressions, he grudgingly accepted the truth.

In other words.

He...

ended up trapping himself.

This was like a bizarre fantasy!

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t care less how much the man regretted it.

Once the navy led the man away, they began organizing the remaining people, preparing to evacuate them from the scene.

A dangerous large fish appeared in this sea area, and they had naturally received the news.

They had already been organizing manpower, ready to counter the big fish.

But before they could act, Shi Yaoguang called for help, revealing that the troublesome big fish had been dealt with just like that.

How could they not be surprised?

However, they had heard some rumors.

About how exceptional Shi Yaoguang was.

Before witnessing Shi Yaoguang’s prowess firsthand, everyone thought she was impressive, but largely exaggerated.

The reason Shi Yaoguang was praised to the skies was merely for an official example.

Now it was clear, what exaggeration?

The official reports of Shi Yaoguang’s strengths weren’t even one percent of her true capabilities.

Thinking this through, the crowd’s gaze at Shi Yaoguang was filled with indescribable awe.

Shi Yaoguang had no intention of going back with them and wasn’t bothered by their looks.

Having settled the matter, she was ready to leave.

Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan hesitated for a long time but finally spoke up.

"You... wait a minute."

At their words, Shi Yaoguang stopped in her tracks.

Facing her unemotional eyes, Shi Kanshan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Wei Lan’s eyes turned red, and she reached a trembling hand towards Shi Yaoguang’s cheek...

Before she could touch her, Shi Yaoguang stepped back.

Meeting Wei Lan’s gaze, Shi Yaoguang flashed a polite smile, "Sorry, I’m not accustomed to contact with strangers."

At these words, Wei Lan’s pupils contracted sharply, and tears nearly fell from her well-preserved face.
