Chapter 3: Captured!

  "Of course, these things are easy to say, but actually doing them is extremely difficult. So you must follow my instructions and prepare some things. Moreover, within the next seven days, remember that you cannot indulge in pleasure again. And inside your house, except for me and you, remember not to let a third person enter. If not, my formation will lose its effect."

  Upon hearing this, the beauty furrowed her brow, "Master, this...this is probably a bit difficult, I now...now..." The beauty seemed to have something hard to say, and she stuttered for a long time without being able to continue.

  The master nodded encouragingly at her, "In front of this master, you don't have to be tongue-tied. This master has traveled the world for dozens of years and experienced countless things..."

  The beauty was astonished, she looked at the master's age, which was only about thirty years old. How could he have traveled the world for decades with such a dirty body? However, although she thought so, she didn't suspect that the master was deceiving her.

  "No," the beauty hastily said, gritting her teeth, "Master, I won't hide it from you, actually I'm someone else's mistress now!"

  The master smiled and nodded, but didn't say a word.

  "During this time, he almost comes here every day, so......" The beauty was very embarrassed and looked at the master with a pleading expression.

  He waved his hand and said, "I'm just a fortune teller. As for those objective factors, I won't interfere or ask about them. Besides, my time here is limited, so you think about it yourself."

  The beauty furrowed her brow in thought, and after a long while, she glanced at the majestic figure of the great master and said, "Alright, I'll do it."

  The master opened his eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar...

  "Halt!" The voice was loud and authoritative, leaving no room for questioning.

  The master and the beauty were both stunned at the same time, the beauty turned her head, looked towards the source of the sound with a puzzled face, only to see three police officers in uniform running quickly towards this side......

  Under the gaze of Master Gu, he secretly called out "good good" in his heart, 'Could it be that this is aimed at me?' After thinking about it, Master Gu quickly bent down to take off his slippers, then suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the left side with a speed so fast that even the guy eating on the ground didn't have time to react... truly speechless!

  As soon as she saw the master run away quickly, the beauty suddenly became anxious and chased after him for two steps, shouting loudly, "Master, what about my matter?"

  "Far away, the master's voice came over, 'Tomorrow at this time, I will be waiting for you here. If fate permits, today this master has something urgent to attend to and will take his leave first...'"

  "Damn, he's running really fucking fast! It's a pity if this speed doesn't go to the hundred-meter dash!" At this time, three police officers in uniform ran to the beauty with rough breathing. One of the male police officers slightly bent over and panted angrily.

  Upon hearing this, the female police officer who was also panting frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Little Liu, watch your language! Next time I hear you swear, I'll deduct it from your bonus!"

  "Oh, got it, Officer Yan." Little Liu said with a look of grievance, then glanced at another male police officer beside him and asked, "Officer Wang, have you made arrangements with the other side? This time we won't let him escape again, will we?"

  "Liu Ge, it's settled then. We'll chase from behind and they'll block from the front. This time we'll definitely catch that little brat!" Little Wang also had a furious look on his face, "That little brat has got some nerve, during this strict crackdown period in our city, he still dares to swindle people here, what's even more infuriating is that we've caught him twice before but he managed to escape both times."

  "If he can still run away this third time, then I, Wang Cheng, will never catch him again..."

  "Hmph!" A cold snort sounded, and the female police officer turned her head to gaze at Wang Cheng with a chilly expression. She opened her mouth and said, "Wang Cheng, those criminals are ten times, a hundred times more cunning than him, and there are many more of them out there. Are you going to give up catching them just because you failed three times? If every police officer thought like you, what justice would we be talking about? What punishment for evil deeds? If your way of thinking doesn't change, how can you even talk about joining the party?"

  After finishing with Wang Cheng, Yan Jie turned her head towards the police officer surnamed Liu, "And you, if you want to become a member, your personal quality must be high! You..."

  "Got it, Sister Yan!" Liu and Wang exchanged a glance and interrupted Sister Yan's words in unison, acknowledging their mistake.

  Yan Jie let out a soft hum, no longer paying attention to the two of them, and instead turned her head towards the beautiful woman. "Miss, that Jianghu practitioner from earlier is just a scammer. Miss, you must never believe in such Jianghu practitioners' absurd words again. They will only try to intimidate you and swindle your money."

  The beauty was stunned for a moment, nodded very cooperatively, and then slightly frowned and walked towards the back.

  Yan sister turned around, squatted down to pick up the master's signboard and that old worn-out paper fan, looking at these two 'pieces of evidence' in her hand, Yan sister coldly snorted, "Fortune telling, calculating eight characters, interpreting dreams, reading palm lines and facial features, warding off disasters, avoiding evil spirits, matchmaking, arranging marriages, mastering Feng Shui and divination... if he's really that capable, why didn't he calculate his own fortune? Why didn't he foresee today's trouble? Hmph, a charlatan swindling people with false claims."

  At this moment, a screeching sound came from the front, accompanied by a loud and furious voice, "Damn it! You think you can kill people? If I wasn't quick-witted, I would have been killed by you this time! No way, I'm traumatized, you guys have to compensate me for my mental damages. My request is not high, 180,000 or 28,000 will do. You decide what to do, I'm a very easy-going person, if..."

  "Police! Sorry, you're under arrest!"

  "Ah! ...... You ...... What are you trying to do? I'm going to report you. You're randomly arresting innocent civilians, you......"

  As soon as she heard the voice, Yan Jie's mouth curved into an arc, "Let's go, our people have caught that swindler..."

  Could it be? The one shouting loudly all over the street isn't that 'master' who just ran away quickly, is there anyone else?

  Inside the police station's interrogation room, the master and the strict-looking female police officer sat facing each other. "Tell us, your name, sex, age, ethnicity, birthplace, occupation..." the police officer asked professionally.

  Across from him, the master's sunglasses had been taken off, revealing a pair of eyes that looked somewhat different from those of normal people. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with innocence. "Officer, I think you've got the wrong person. I'm a good citizen, I often give money to beggars on the street and have helped old ladies cross the road many times."

  "Hmm!" Officer Yan snorted, "Good citizen? If you're a good citizen, then quickly confess all the wrongdoings you've done! Don't you see the few words behind me? If you honestly confess, we might reduce your sentence by two days. Otherwise..."

  The master raised his head and glanced at the wall of the interrogation room, on which eight large characters were written: "Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!"

  "Officer, I've told you already, I'm a timid person by nature, how would I dare to do anything bad?" The master's face was full of helplessness, "If I really had to say something, then it would only be that when I was young, I once sneaked a peek at Mrs. Zhang from next door taking a bath..."

  "Preposterous!" Officer Yan was speechless, shaking his head and focusing on the master again. "A messy, slightly yellowish hairdo that clearly hadn't been taken care of, a pale and thin face that showed signs of malnutrition, eyes that were sunken from being exposed to the elements... it seemed he had been living in turmoil for years. One eye was single-lidded, the other double-lidded, one big, one small - as the saying goes, 'the eyes reflect the heart', and his eyes showed a lack of integrity! His ears were also mismatched, with one facing forward and the other backward... it's said that people with mismatched ears can't listen to good advice. Looks like I've been wasting my breath!"

  "Hey, hey, I'm telling you, sister, have you had enough of a look? If you keep looking like that, I'm afraid you'll really fall in love with me..." The master said with a helpless expression on his face, as if he was being serious. Did he not know how high his charm index was?

  "Falling in love with you? Get out!" Officer Yan said indignantly, "With the way you're dressed and those eyes of yours..."

  "What's wrong with my eyes?" The master stood up suddenly, as if he had been stepped on his sore spot, and pointed at the stern-looking police officer surnamed Yan, "I'm warning you! You can say anything about me, but not my eyes! What's wrong with my eyes? Big or small eyes, what's wrong with that? One single eyelid, one double eyelid, what's wrong with that? Do you know that Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties, also has big and small eyes, and one single eyelid and one double eyelid just like me?"

  "Hum, just because you don't appreciate it doesn't mean others won't! Let me tell you, these eyes of mine have been praised by women before..."

  Upon hearing this remark, Officer Yan was left speechless and in tears! If he had a conscience, he would have retorted a few more sentences. Thinking about it, this is also a form of personal attack on others, which is not something a police officer should do. As for what Diao Chan's eyes are like? That's none of his business to care about.

  Officer Yan's surname was stern, and he straightened his expression, gesturing to the angry-eyed master to sit down. "Alright, my time is precious, you'd better confess quickly..."

  "I really haven't done anything wrong, what exactly do you want me to confess?" The policeman surnamed Yan hadn't even finished speaking before he was interrupted by the master.
