Police station.
"You've successfully apprehended the fugitive. Your reward: hypnosis skills."
The reward was credited just as the criminal was brought into the station.
Xu Mo began to study the usage of hypnosis techniques briefly.
Meanwhile, the other officers conducted tests on all the raw materials brought back from the barbecue stand.
Finally, they discovered a large amount of powdered opium poppy shells in the barbecue seasoning.
Han Fei took the test results to the interrogation room.
He waved the report in front of the barbecue stand owner before opening it.
"These are the test results for your barbecue seasoning. Tell me, where did you get that stuff?"
Upon seeing the report, the barbecue stand owner fell silent immediately.
With the test results right in front of him, there was no point in further denial. He had to tell the truth: "I grew it myself."
Han Fei continued questioning, "How much did you grow in total?"
"Officer, I know I was wrong. I was just blinded by greed, I..."
Before he could finish, Han Fei interrupted him.
"Don't change the subject. I asked you how much you grew in total?"
"Four hundred and ninety-nine plants... Officer, I looked it up online. Growing less than five hundred plants isn't a criminal offense, it's just an administrative violation. You can only detain me for fifteen days at most..." the barbecue stand owner said weakly.
Han Fei snorted.
"Oh, so you specifically looked that up? Then you knowingly broke the law, didn't you?"
Xu Mo, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask,
"We can only detain him for fifteen days? Isn't that punishment a bit too light?"
"Just for growing it for observation, the maximum sentence is indeed fifteen days..." Han Fei said, then changed his tone: "But intentionally adding it to food is a much more serious crime. In severe cases, it can lead to several years in prison."
Xu Mo nodded in satisfaction.
"That sounds more appropriate... Well then, Han, now that we have the results, I'll head back if there's nothing else."
"Alright, you can go," Han Fei nodded.
Xu Mo turned and left the interrogation room.
He went to meet up with the four people waiting in the lobby.
After about ten seconds, Han Fei suddenly seemed to remember something.
He also left the interrogation room to catch up with Xu Mo.
Finally, he saw Xu Mo, who hadn't yet left the lobby.
"Xu Mo, wait up, I need to tell you something."
"What is it, Han?"
"Don't drive that car of yours to the police station tomorrow. It doesn't comply with regulations. A car worth over 3 million... I know you're wealthy, but others don't. Just imagine what people might think about our police station if they see that."
Before Xu Mo could respond, An Youyi, who was standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully.
"I think so too. Coming to work at the police station in a 3-million-yuan luxury car is too flashy. I just ordered a Porsche Cayenne for daily use. Why don't we swap cars? Mine is cheaper."
Han Fei: "???"
Is this even human speech!?
Do you realize what you're saying??
Cayenne... cheap?
Not only Han Fei, but Xu Mo also looked at An Youyi with surprise.
This girl probably doesn't even know how to spell "cheap"...
A 3-million-yuan car is considered luxury, but a 1-million-plus car isn't?
That's still a luxury car, for crying out loud!
"Han, that's the only car I have. If I can't drive it, I'd have to buy another one, which would be a waste of money... Can't you make an exception? Starting tomorrow, I'll park the car in the parking lot east of the police station and walk from there. I promise no one will know I'm driving a luxury car to work."
Han Fei thought for a moment and felt that Xu Mo's method... wasn't entirely unreasonable. Mainly because forcing Xu Mo to buy another car didn't seem right.
However, just as he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered that Xu Mo had a black Volkswagen. He was driving that car when the show first started.
Is that what he calls having only one car?
Realizing this, Han Fei prepared to reject Xu Mo's request.
"No, don't try to fool me. You still have that Volkswagen, don't think I don't know..."
"I've already sold that car. I only have one now," Xu Mo anticipated Han Fei's words and told a little white lie.
He hadn't actually sold that car yet, but with a new car, who would want to drive an old one every day?
Then, without waiting for Han Fei to speak, he continued, "So it's settled then. Thanks for understanding, Han! See you tomorrow!"
With that, he led the four people away from the police station, giving Han Fei no chance to respond.
Han Fei: "???"
Wait, who settled anything?
He hadn't agreed yet!
But then Han Fei reconsidered. If Xu Mo really only had that one car now, buying another one just for work would indeed be wasteful.
According to Xu Mo's suggestion, not driving the car directly into the police station but parking it in a nearby lot and walking from there wasn't a bad idea.
So, he decided to let it go!
...
After dealing with the newly arrested individuals, many police officers gathered together and started discussing Xu Mo again.
"This Xu Mo seems to have some skills. It's only his first day, and he first caught a wanted criminal with his own hands, then went with me and Little Wang to arrest those two Indians, and now he's reported another one. In just one day, he's been involved in three cases, and all of them were solved."
"He does seem capable. I think we might have underestimated him a bit..."
"There's more. My friend in Jiangcheng City told me that Xu Mo was also involved in a case there with Han. Because of that case, the police station there is praising him like he's some kind of genius!"
"He was involved in a case in Jiangcheng too? What exactly happened? Tell us."
"They say he discovered the key clue in that case. Not only that, but he also conducted an interrogation alone. Apparently, the criminal refused to talk even after being interrogated by multiple officers all night. Even Han couldn't get him to talk, but Xu Mo made the criminal confess everything with just two sentences."
"Is it really that amazing? A criminal that even Han couldn't handle, but Xu Mo could? Are you sure your friend isn't pulling your leg..."
"I'm not sure about the details. That's just what he told me. If we want to know the exact situation, I think we should ask Han. He should know!"
"..."

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
