Twisted Dreams-Chapter 246 - 216: Xie Qilin Joins the Security Bureau

Imperial Capital, Jin Mansion.

In the Buddhist hall, Xie Qilin knelt on the cushion, counting rosary beads and reciting sutras.

Xie Jianguo paced behind Xie Qilin, his face etched with anxiety.

This time, things have really escalated.

Originally, it was thought that cooperating with the God Creation Group would elevate the Xie Family to the next level.

Unexpectedly, the reality turned out to be vastly different from what was imagined.

Now, there are Security Bureau spies everywhere outside their door, and Xie Qilin is practically imprisoned within the Xie Family.

Xie Qilin slightly raised his eyes:

"Father, please calm down, you're making my head spin."

Xie Jianguo said irritably:

"The only reason you can still recite sutras here is because I am exerting pressure on the Security Bureau.

But it's useless! The Security Bureau currently has significant authority in Xia Country. If they gather evidence of your crimes, I won't be able to protect you!

If that Bai Ge confesses, the people from the Security Bureau will storm into the Xie Family immediately and take you away!"

Xie Qilin sneered:

"There's no 'if'."

Xie Jianguo's eyes lit up:

"You mean Bai Ge won't confess?"

Xie Jianguo didn't know where his son's confidence came from.

The one investigating this case is Cao Yi!

That young man is known as the Living Yama.

He has offended many people in the Imperial Capital, yet he could still become the Director of the Security Bureau in South Sea, which shows his extraordinary means!

Xie Qilin mischievously smiled:

"I mean there's no 'if'; he definitely will confess."

Xie Jianguo was taken aback:

"You still have the heart to joke around?!"

Xie Jianguo walked towards the door, muttering as he went:

"You need to run, I'll figure out a way for you to leave.

Go abroad and never come back again!"

Xie Qilin sighed:

"Father! Stop fussing.

Where could I possibly run?

I'm the sinner who tore up the peace treaty between the Demon Race and the Bureau.

I still have the oil paper umbrella in my hand.

From any angle, the Security Bureau will not let me go.

At least domestically, there is the Xie Family's protection.

If I flee abroad, they might kill me and then take the oil paper umbrella.

Blame it on my lack of thorough consideration, not expecting a Demon Club to appear."

When Xie Qilin saw Yang Xiao's 'artwork', he knew it was over.

Because that 'artwork' was a member of the God Creation Organization, and the head of the 'artwork' was even the leader with whom he had finalized cooperation.

It seemed the Demon Club wanted to protect the Demon Race.

His plan was to disrupt the agreement between the Demon Race and the Security Bureau, to facilitate future captures of the Demon Race.

This plan seemed pretty good originally, but who could have foreseen the existence of an organization like the Demon Club?

Not only did his plan fail, but he also somehow offended the Demon Club.

In any case, even without the Security Bureau coming to punish him, survival would still be difficult.

Xie Jianguo collapsed into a pear blossom red chair, as if all his strength had been drained, murmuring:

"Is there truly no other way?

The Xie Family has only you as the sole heir."

At this time, Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, knocked and entered, cautiously glancing at Xie Qilin before bowing his head:

"Master, young master, the Security Bureau has arrived."

Xie Jianguo opened his mouth.

He hadn't expected Bai Ge to confess so quickly.

Bribing Security Bureau administrators, provoking the Demon Race, and other charges were sufficient to incarcerate Xie Qilin for life.

Xie Jianguo remained silent for a moment, then said:

"I'll go plead with Old Zheng!"

Old Zheng was the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, Zheng Qian.

Xie Qilin shook his head:

"Director Zheng will not give you this face."

Logically speaking, Xie Qilin is now a criminal in the Security Bureau's eyes.

Emotionally speaking, Xie Qilin had implicated Bai Ge, Han Hai, and clipped Zheng Qian's wings.

To Zheng Qian, this was a betrayal.

From any standpoint, Zheng Qian wanted to deal with Xie Qilin.

The knocking sounded again.

Uncle Fu looked at Xie Qilin and Xie Jianguo, then opened the door.

Cao Yi, in a black suit, appeared at the door with an administrator from the Divine Dragon Team.

Cao Yi glanced at Xie Jianguo, then turned to Xie Qilin:

"You know why I'm here, right?"

Xie Qilin stood up and smiled:

"Of course."

Cao Yi said expressionlessly:

"Then come with us."

The members of the Divine Dragon Team took two steps forward, two grasping Xie Qilin's arms, another taking the oil paper umbrella from in front of the Buddhist hall.

...

Mang Mountain Prison.

Located at the junction of the Imperial Capital and Jinmen, in a remote wilderness area.

A long time ago, it used to house severe mentally ill criminals, with very high security and defenses.

With legal reforms, the Mang Mountain Mental Hospital gradually fell into ruin.

Now, with slight renovations, it serves as the Security Bureau's special prison.

The prison walls are high, equipped with electric grids, searchlights, and other facilities.

It already holds many special criminals.

The cells are iron-walled and iron-doored, with simple furnishings; apart from an iron bed, there's only a 24-hour working incandescent lamp and cameras.

Xie Qilin, wearing prison clothes, sits cross-legged on the bed, hands clasped, eyes closed in meditation.

At this time, footsteps echoed in the corridor.

A smile played at the corner of Xie Qilin's mouth.

The footsteps were irregular, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, not of a prison administrator.

The iron door opened, and an elderly man entered.

"Director Zheng, just call if you need anything, we're right outside."

The special prison director said respectfully.

This director was also a formidable extraordinary.

The special prison director looked at Xie Qilin cautiously.

Xie Qilin was a very powerful extraordinary, his strength not beneath Sect Leader Zhang's.

Even without the oil paper umbrella, Xie Qilin's combat power was not low.

Zheng Qian sneered:

"Mind your own business.

He wouldn't dare do anything to me.

Unless he wants the Xie Family to accompany him in the grave."

This sentence was said to the special prison director and also warned Xie Qilin.

The special prison director left, leaving only Xie Qilin and Zheng Qian in the cell.

Xie Qilin got off the bed.

Just this ordinary action made Zheng Qian's heart race, his hand instinctively reaching for his back waist.

Though he talked like he had Xie Qilin figured out, Zheng Qian still felt uneasy facing him.

After dismounting, Xie Qilin cupped his fists towards Zheng Qian:

"Director Zheng."

Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief, snorted coldly:

"Xie Qilin, you're so bold!

How dare you provoke the Demon Race!

How dare you attempt to disrupt the pact between the Demon Race and the Security Bureau!

Bai Ge suffered because of you!

Han Hai also died on Changbai Mountain, didn't he?

Xie Qilin, oh Xie Qilin, you have truly disappointed me!"

Zheng Qian had come to demand answers from Xie Qilin.

Bai Ge was finished, Han Hai was dead, Zheng Qian was left without a single useful card in hand.

Xie Qilin didn't argue, only bowed his head:

"I have failed Director Zheng's nurture.

Qilin seeks to atone for his mistakes and asks Director Zheng to save me!"

Zheng Qian's eyes widened, angrily pointing at Xie Qilin:

"How shameless! You've poked a hole in the sky, and you still want me to save you?! How would I save you?!"

Despite being scolded, Xie Qilin did not become angry; he even knelt on the ground. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He solemnly kowtowed:

"Qilin knows his sins are grave, willing to join the Security Bureau to redeem his crimes with merits!"
