Seeing that Chen Hao knew the clubhouse like the back of his hand, the excited Zhou Gang looked at him in anticipation.

Chen Hao continued, “There’s also Wang Hu. This big boss is another badass, and he’s fishing with a client outside right now. A moment ago Sister Hui here has called to inform him. Wang Hu is on his way back and will probably reach shortly. Now that you have evidence in your hands, you mustn’t let the criminal escape. Captain Zhou, you need to be wary of people alerting him to this. If you let this Brother Tiger run away, this won’t be perfectly resolved.”

As Zhou Gang snapped back to his senses, he felt secretly ashamed. Chen Hao’s great display of his mystical prowess had completely immersed him in these mysterious means, making him nearly forget his basic duties as a police officer. He immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest Ma Weizhao.

Shortly after, a flustered looking and pale police officer was brought to Zhou Gang.

“Cap-captain Zhou, wh-what is this for?” This police officer stammered.

Zhou Gang asked coldly, “What benefits did Wang Hu give you? To give you the guts to take such a risk?”

The police officer’s expression changed drastically, his body involuntarily slumping to the ground, unable to utter a single word.

Disappointment was evident in Zhou Gang’s eyes.

Zhou Gang was a forthright man. He was a nightmare in the eyes of criminals, but he treated his subordinates extremely well, dispensing merit where it was warranted. If one did well enough, he was guaranteed the rewards and promotion he deserved.

But even then, there was a traitor among his subordinates.

Indeed, humans were greedy.

A moment later, the police officers who went to search for evidence returned, bringing back with them all sorts of videos, ledgers, drugs, stacks of cash, and even several black guns and bullets. Zhou Gang gasped at the sight of all this.

If it wasn’t for Chen Hao’s assistance this time, even if he found sufficient evidence to take action against Wang Hu in the future, it might not be so easy, and it would likely result in casualties and injuries.

Zhou Gang’s expression darkened as he ordered his subordinates to split in different directions.

Less than 15 minutes later, Wang Hu came running into the clubhouse with his two lackeys.

Before he could even open his mouth, police officers swarmed up to him, and he was pinned to the ground with a stupefied expression.

Seeing this, Chen Hao’s heart was finally put to ease.

Although his plan was a little immature and there was even the element of luck involved, thankfully there were no accidents. His divine power blessing reward was in the bag.

At this moment, Chen Hao looked to the side at the vengeful looking Liu Yue’e. His gaze changed as he walked over and said, “How is it? Does it not resolve your hatred? With so much evidence, this Brother Tiger is finished.”

Liu Yue’e said with clenched teeth, “My hatred is not resolved. I want to see him dead.”

Chen Hao mused to himself. “What a joke. Even if he’s guilty, the court proceedings will take some time before he’s convicted. Even if he’s sentenced the death penalty, he will have to be scheduled a date.”

Can this mission not be so troublesome? I don’t want to wait.

An idea suddenly struck Chen Hao and he quickly said, “I say, Yue’e. I feel that your hatred towards Brother Tiger is not intense enough.”

Liu Yue’e froze in surprise and she stared at Chen Hao with a perplexed look.

I was even killed by him, how can my hatred towards him not be strong enough?

Chen Hao continued, “Think about it. A life for a life, that’s the most basic way to settle scores. But you’ve been killed for three years, and Wang Hu has gone scot-free for as long. If he dies now, you’ll be on the losing end.”

Liu Yue’e was dumbfounded.

Is that the case? Come to think of it, sounds about right.

I have been a wandering ghost for three years, yet Wang Hu was scot-free for three years, living it up. Even if he were to die now, it does nothing to lighten the load in my heart!

“Th-then, what can I do?” Liu Yue’e asked blankly.

Chen Hao replied with a smile, “Easy.” He shouted for Zhou Gang to come over and asked him what punishment Wang Hu would receive.

Zhou Gang paused for a moment before saying, “I’m not a judge, but now with concrete evidence, even if this Wang Hu isn’t sentenced to death, he won’t escape life imprisonment.”

With a satisfied smile, Chen Hao turned around and said to Liu Yue’e, “You heard that? Life imprisonment! That’s the best form of revenge.”

Liu Yue’e, who was being led by the nose, asked, “Why?”

Chen Hao explained, “Think about it. It’s a cheap deal for him to die now. It’s best if he doesn’t die, yet he won’t be able to live freely as he wishes and be locked up forever. Isn’t this the most horrible punishment? Wang Hu is someone who is used to enjoying life. He definitely won’t be able to take the difference in treatment. He will live in torment every day. That, then, is true suffering.”

Liu Yue’e fell silent for a moment. After a moment, she suddenly revealed a smile. “Thank you for your enlightenment, Master. Although you’re helping me redress my grievance in order to accumulate merit, Yue’e is indeed indebted to you. I shouldn’t be calculative and pester you endlessly. Now that Wang Hu is receiving the punishment he deserves, regardless of whether it’s the death penalty or life imprisonment, it’s enough for Yue’e. Yue’e is immensely grateful.”

The minute she finished speaking, a familiar voice rang in Chen Hao’s brain.

[Ding-Dong! Dying Wish fulfilled. You are now blessed with divine power.]

The next moment, a load of information appeared in Chen Hao’s brain out of nowhere, flowing through his mind for him to absorb. This was how he was being blessed with divine power.

But right now, Chen Hao wasn’t in the mood to view this divine power. He was staring awkwardly at Liu Yue’e.

How shameful. She’s not a child and isn’t that easy to bluff. He felt vile for what he did.

But the fact that his mission was accomplished went to show that Liu Yue’e’s resentment was resolved.

Looking carefully, he indeed saw that the resentment on Liu Yue’e was dissipating into the air bit by bit. Very quickly, Liu Yue’e transformed into specks of white light, gradually becoming fainter.

“Yue’e is immensely grateful for your great debt of kindness. If there’s a next lifetime, I will definitely repay you.”

With a peaceful expression, Liu Yue’e took one last serious look at Chen Hao before disappearing completely.

Chen Hao remained frozen for a long time, before letting out a sigh.

Although she had suffered in this lifetime, she was finally able to let go of her resentment and be reborn as a human. It was considered a good deed. He hoped this girl needn’t suffer such torment in the next lifetime.

“Was Liu Yue’e here just now?” Zhou Gang asked, his gaze flickering.

Chen Hao replied with a smile, “Yeah. Without her, how would I know this clubhouse like… Mm, Captain Zhou, the talk about the so-called ghosts is only superstition. The police were able to arrest the criminals because of the swift action they took and the fact that they had concrete evidence in their hands.”

Suddenly, Chen Hao’s expression turned solemn and he looked seriously at Zhou Gang.

Zhou Gang froze, then gazed at Chen Hao, caught between laughter and tears.

What an interesting fellow.

“It’s true that the police have evidence in their hands. But Mr. Chen is also a good citizen who assisted the police. You won’t be denied your credit. If something arises in the future, so long as it doesn’t compromise my principles and break the law, you can come and look for me,” Zhou Gang said seriously.

Chen Hao said with a smile, “That means I have cozied up to someone powerful? Hehe, not bad, not bad. If I run into trouble, I will surely look for Captain Zhou. Mm, another thing. The two of us are now considered friends who have worked together. Later when I give your daughter a present, you mustn’t regard it as a bribe, Captain Zhou.”

Zhou Gang replied with a severe countenance, “I’ll get my wife to prepare the food and wine. You’re welcome to visit anytime.”
