Chapter 25: The Tragedy of Minor Characters

Within the residential area, police sirens blared. Moments later, urgent footsteps echoed through the corridor.

"Don't move!"

"Get down!"

"Release the hostage!"

A group of police officers stormed into the room. Their faces were stern, some even appeared nervous, as they surrounded Yang Haoran. They yelled and threatened him aggressively.

The dark muzzles of their guns were pointed directly at him. Any slight movement from him would undoubtedly result in a barrage of bullets. There was no doubt about that.

While the surface of the New Genesis World seemed peaceful, turmoil brewed beneath. Hence, regardless of which city in the New Genesis World, whenever police officers responded to a call, they came fully armed. Though Lecheng was just an insignificant small city within the New Genesis World, it was no exception.

Seeing the multitude of gun barrels aimed at him, Yang Haoran's face turned pale. He had never experienced such a standoff in his life. It was impossible not to feel nervous. Any misstep could lead to irreversible consequences!

"Listen, officers, this is a misunderstanding... I mean..." Yang Haoran's nerves caused his words to come out disjointed.

"Shut up! Release the hostage immediately! Or we'll open fire!" a police officer roared, warning Yang Haoran once more.

"I'm unarmed! What's going on? Hostage? What hostage?" Yang Haoran grew anxious.

Bang!

His answer came in the form of a gunshot, not aimed at him but as a warning shot.

Yang Haoran's heart skipped a beat as he realized he was still holding Jiang Zhenzhen in his arms. Looking down, he seemed to understand what was happening. He quickly put Jiang Zhenzhen down, awkwardly smiled, and began to explain, "It's a misunderstanding, officers. Truly a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Zhenzhen was already placed on the ground. He slowly stood up and pulled up his pants. However, at that moment, a fragrant breeze hit him, followed by a sharp pain in his groin as someone kicked him hard!

Bang!

Yang Haoran's expression changed drastically as intense pain made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Believe you? Bullshit! You freak! Home invasion! And you dare to do such things to this girl! I'll make sure to disable your tool for crime!" yelled a female officer angrily.

While the female officer continued to kick him in the groin, other officers rushed forward, successfully capturing this "home invasion" criminal.

Yang Haoran was escorted out of the house. Shortly after, an ambulance arrived downstairs and took the unconscious Jiang Zhenzhen and the middle-aged man away.

The sky had just begun to lighten, still early in the morning, yet a crowd had gathered downstairs. Among them were mainly elderly residents, gossiping and pointing fingers at Yang Haoran, unaware of the situation but eager to speculate.

"This young man is terrifying! He actually used a chainsaw to forcibly break into the home, killed two people without blinking, and even insulted the girl's corpse! Absolutely insane!"

"I've seen that middle-aged man who died a few times in the neighborhood. He's indeed from our community. The young girl should be his daughter, whom I haven't seen before. Perhaps she recently returned. It's so pitiful, dying so young and being insulted. Well, it's better this way. If she were still alive, how could she ever get married? Who would dare to marry her with such a stain!"

"Last night, I heard the girl screaming so loudly. I thought it was a domestic violence issue. I didn't think much of it, after all, it's someone else's family matter. As an outsider, I shouldn't interfere. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. If I had known, even if it cost my life, I would have gone to stop this villain!"

"Do you know the one who called the police? He's the nephew of my husband's sister. Don't be fooled by his young age; he's quite sensible and law-abiding. Upon hearing the commotion, despite his parents' objections, he bravely called the police. Finally, this pervert was caught thanks to him."

"I know that kid you're talking about. His parents spoil him and he often makes false reports as if it's a game. Despite repeated attempts at discipline, he remains stubborn. However, this time, he did something remarkable. He didn't make a false report and played a significant role. Although he didn't save the lives of the father and daughter, he successfully captured this murderer. Without him, who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued. Maybe it would have been my family next. After all, my daughter is very beautiful, even at forty, she doesn't look old at all, much younger than this old lady."

Amidst the gossip and pointing of the elderly crowd, Yang Haoran was escorted back to the police station as if he were a criminal. He even received a thorough beating, while Jiang Zhenzhen and the middle-aged man, due to their unconscious state, were treated like patients and carefully loaded into the ambulance. Every movement was delicate, fearing it might harm them.

When Yang Haoran was released from the police station in the afternoon, it was thanks to Jiang Zhenzhen and the middle-aged man regaining consciousness.

Upon waking up, they naturally underwent questioning by the officers. Yang Haoran, who had been detained at the police station, also faced interrogation. Through the testimonies of the three, a conclusion was drawn: the house where Jiang Zhenzhen resided was haunted, and Yang Haoran, a master, was there to help her.

The police station naturally didn't believe this explanation. Ghosts? It was simply absurd.

However, one thing was certain: Yang Haoran was not the perpetrator of a home invasion. The middle-aged man and Jiang Zhenzhen's unconsciousness had nothing to do with Yang Haoran. It was just a misunderstanding. At most, it could be considered disturbing the peace, and even then, it involved all three of them. Thus, Yang Haoran was rightfully released.

As Yang Haoran limped out of the police station, his face bruised, a female officer accompanied him. She had a tall and shapely figure, and the police uniform accentuated her elegance. Coupled with her pretty face, she presented a stark contrast to Yang Haoran in every aspect.

This female officer was none other than the one who had kicked Yang Haoran in the groin at Jiang Zhenzhen's house. Perhaps out of guilt or concern that Yang Haoran might escalate the situation, she personally escorted him to the police station's entrance. However, from her stern expression, it was evident that she was not pleased to be doing so.

"The matter has been cleared up, you may leave. But let me remind you, as a thirty-year-old, you should know what to say and what not to say. Don't let your mouth get you into trouble," the female officer warned Yang Haoran with a stern face.

Rather than a reminder, it sounded more like a threat. Yang Haoran felt extremely displeased, even outraged. He had an impulse to go over and slap the woman a few times!

However, he didn't act on it. Not only did he refrain from doing so, but he also put on a seemingly natural smile.

He wanted to say something, but the female officer didn't give him the chance. She calmly continued, "Although you're not involved in a home invasion, you were still acting suspiciously. If you continue this behavior, I can assure you, you'll be back here for tea, and that day won't be too far off."

With that, the female officer walked away briskly, not even sparing Yang Haoran another glance. It seemed she was extremely disgusted with Yang Haoran and his charlatan-like behavior.

Watching the female officer's retreating figure, the seemingly natural smile vanished from Yang Haoran's face, replaced by a cold expression.

These officers had beaten him up indiscriminately, especially the female officer, who had been the most vicious and brutal. However, in the end, he hadn't even heard an apology from her. He was simply kicked out of the police station and even threatened. Anyone who went through what he did would probably feel angry.

Yang Haoran had experienced a lot over the years, so most of the time, he didn't show his emotions on his face, nor did he easily get angry. But that didn't mean he had no anger inside him.

At this moment, he felt very irritated, very angry. However, he was rational. He didn't make a scene or utter threats, as doing so would only bring him more trouble.

Making threats required absolute strength. When a powerful person makes threats, it creates immense psychological pressure on the other party. If someone without strength makes threats, it becomes a joke and only brings more embarrassment to oneself.

Above the police station hung a giant police badge. The design of this police badge was unique, consisting of a shield and two long spears. In the middle of the spears was a character "乐", representing the Lecheng Police Department of the New Genesis World.

A police badge was an inanimate object, yet this police badge exuded an invisible pressure. With a cold face, Yang Haoran stared fixedly at the huge police badge above the station, pondering something in his mind.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze. In his cold eyes, there was determination, as if in that moment, he had figured something out and made a certain decision.

In his view, the reason he ended up in this miserable state was ultimately because he lacked real strength. If he had the ability to deal with the young man known as Decaying Corpse Granny, would he be in this situation now?

The answer was obviously no!

If he possessed the abilities of the mysterious young man and became a high-level practitioner like him, not only would he not be frightened by Decaying Corpse Granny, nor would he be captured by the police as if he were a criminal, causing him to be extremely angry!

At this moment, a strong desire to change himself arose in him. He wanted to become a high-level practitioner like the mysterious young man and change his identity as a charlatan.

In the past, he also wanted to change himself, but he had no way. Now, he felt that an opportunity had appeared before him. He didn't want to miss it, even if it meant paying a huge price. He wanted to seize this opportunity!
