Chen Ke had finished his disguise.
He wore a floral dress, put on a wig, and his Adam's apple was concealed with makeup applied by Xu Mo to make it less noticeable.
In pursuit of perfect detail, Chen Ke even stuffed two steamed buns into his clothes.
From any angle, he looked just like a young woman.
The other police officers had also changed into plain clothes and were equipped with their service weapons.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the right moment.
Once the time came, they would head out to conduct their sting operation at the location where Xu Mo predicted the human traffickers would likely strike.
...
Nine o'clock at night.
In the old district.
A van was parked in a dark alley, with four men inside and a dirty, pitiful-looking little girl.
The four men each held masks of the Four Pilgrimage Brothers, ready to put them on before getting out to kidnap someone.
These four were the human traffickers the police were trying to catch.
As for the dirty little girl, she was their tool to lure other girls into the alley.
The van they were sitting in was the same one Xu Mo had identified through traffic camera footage, though out of caution, the traffickers had switched to another fake license plate.
They had many similar fake plates and would change them after each operation for safety.
The man holding the Pig Monk mask felt uneasy and looked at the others.
"I keep feeling nervous, and my right eye won't stop twitching. I hope nothing goes wrong tonight?"
"That's superstition! It's all fake - a right eye twitch is just normal muscle spasms, nothing more. Quick, don't say such unlucky things!"
"Boss, before we left you were going on about your left eye twitching, saying we'd definitely catch a prime target tonight... How come a left eye twitch means fortune but a right eye twitch is superstition? I really have a bad feeling about this! We've kidnapped so many women in three days, the police must be onto us by now. Maybe we should stop!"
"A twitching left eye meaning wealth... that's scientifically proven! But a right eye twitch meaning disaster isn't - that's just superstition!" The man holding the Tang Monk mask thought for a moment and agreed that Pig Monk had a point: "But you're right, we have been operating too frequently. The police must be targeting us by now. It's time to wrap things up. Let's do one final job tonight, then sell off all the merchandise in the warehouse. We'll take the money and lay low for a while."
His thinking was simple.
They could stop, but since they were already here, they couldn't leave empty-handed.
Even if they were going to quit, it would be after tonight's operation.
"Alright! One last job then!"
...
Meanwhile.
The police had just finished testing Chen Ke's earpiece for audio transmission.
After confirming it was working properly, Han Fei added one last reminder.
"Cover the earpiece well with the wig, don't let anyone spot it and get suspicious."
"Understood!"
"Go on then, but walk slowly, don't move too fast or we won't catch any fish."
"Don't worry, Captain Han, I know what to do."
Chen Ke set out.
He walked slowly.
Firstly, to avoid moving too quickly for the traffickers to notice him.
Secondly, because he was disguised as a woman, and to make it convincing, he had to pay attention to details like taking small steps.
When he passed by the alley, he caught the traffickers' attention just as planned.
"Boss, look at this one! How about her?"
"That figure... Perfect! She's the one. Didn't I say we'd find a prime target tonight? Get ready to move!"
"Got it..."
With that, all four men put on their masks of the Four Pilgrimage Brothers.
The next moment, a little girl's crying could be heard from the dark alley.
Chen Ke purposely glanced inside.
A little girl stood in the dark alley, and she was the source of the crying.
Behind her was a parked van.
Chen Ke recognized that van!
Despite the changed license plate, he could tell it was the same vehicle with fake plates they'd been searching for in surveillance footage.
With the van here, the traffickers must be nearby!
But what was the deal with this little girl?
Curious, Chen Ke walked into the alley.
He didn't speak, knowing his voice would reveal he was male.
The traffickers must be hiding nearby, but he wasn't sure exactly where, so he couldn't risk exposure just yet.
Almost as soon as he entered the alley, four masked men emerged from the shadows, surrounding him.
At the same time, 'Sha Monk' exclaimed: "Damn, Boss, this really is a prime catch! This girl's a real beauty!"
'Tang Monk' chuckled.
"See? I told you my twitching left eye meant we'd make money today. Was I wrong? This one will fetch a high price, quick, let's grab her and go!"
'Pig Monk,' 'Sha Monk,' and 'Monkey King' moved closer to Chen Ke, ready to grab him.
They found it strange that this girl showed no reaction to their presence...
Normally, girls in this situation would panic and start shouting "Who are you?" or "Don't come any closer!"
Some would even try to pull out their phones to call the police.
This one was oddly different, unusually so!
Not saying a word, showing no signs of fear... Was she overconfident, or had the Four Pilgrimage Brothers lost their touch?
While they were pondering this.
The "girl" they had surrounded showed a slight smirk, revealing a hint of mockery.
"Surprise, motherfucker!"
The Four Brothers: "????"
Although Chen Ke wore a floral dress, a wig, and had been disguised as a girl by Xu Mo's makeup skills.
His voice couldn't be changed.
Rough and hoarse.
Obviously male.
Before Chen Ke spoke, the Four Brothers had been thinking about how much money this beautiful girl would bring them.
But as soon as Chen Ke opened his mouth, that thought vanished instantly.
Because... this was a man! A crossdresser! Worthless to them!
"Holy crap! It's a man!?"
But what surprised the Four Brothers even more was that.
This "girl" wasn't just a crossdresser, but a police officer here to arrest them!
"Finally found you bunch of scum!" With that, Chen Ke suddenly threw a punch straight at 'Pig Monk's' face.
'Pig Monk' was stunned by the unexpected punch: "Damn it, how dare you hit me? Get him!!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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.
