Chapter 138: Foresight?

What kind of place was the Disciplinary Inspection Commission? How could Wang Guotao possibly not know?

The function of this department was somewhat similar to Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption. However, the power it possessed was even greater and far more terrifying! Very few of those invited to the Disciplinary Inspection Commission for a cup of tea were ever able to walk out again. Basically, there was only one outcome—being thrown into prison!

Even though the few people sent by the Commission spoke quite politely and used terms like "assisting with an investigation," Wang Guotao understood very well that without definitive evidence, the agents of the Commission would never make a move so lightly.

Besides, it was currently nighttime, well past regular working hours.

Coming to make an arrest at this hour spoke volumes!

"Assisting with an investigation? Why does that phrase sound a little familiar?" Wang Guotao's mind drifted in a daze, and he suddenly recalled that when he had brought Li Sichen into the police station earlier, the excuse he used seemed to also be "assisting with an investigation."

His heart turned instantly ice-cold. "Retribution! This is bloody retribution! If I had known earlier that this kid was so bizarre and such a jinx, no matter what tempting conditions and benefits Young Master Lei or Young Master Lu offered, I would never have messed with them! Ah, I truly regret my actions..."

At this moment, Wang Guotao was filled with deep, agonizing regret.

In his view, the reason his scandal had come to light and he had been targeted by the Disciplinary Inspection Commission—while primarily due to his own corruption, bribery, and abuse of power—was definitely catalyzed by Li Sichen's "jinxing" ability!

Otherwise, why had nothing happened to him before, yet trouble struck right after he arrested Li Sichen?

This was definitely the bad luck brought upon him by being cursed by this jinx!

Wang Guotao was quickly taken away by the agents of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission.

Before leaving, he did not forget to point at Li Sichen and shout loudly, "A jinx! This kid is truly a jinx!"

Li Sichen did not get angry at all. Instead, he smiled back at him, seeming quite satisfied with the title of a jinx.

Earlier, when Xiao Liu had called Li Sichen a "jinx," Wang Guotao had found it laughable and absurd. But now, he felt that the label "jinx" suited Li Sichen to absolute perfection.

If even he was being invited by the Commission for a cup of tea, what else could this Li Sichen be if not a jinx?

The Commission agents glanced at Li Sichen in the interrogation room, somewhat surprised as to how this student had ended up being labeled a jinx. However, they were there to arrest Wang Guotao, and other matters fell outside their jurisdiction.

Therefore, surprise was just surprise, and they did not ask any further questions, simply escorting Wang Guotao out of the police station.

As soon as Wang Guotao and the Commission personnel left, the police station plunged into chaos.

Several on-duty officers swarmed over, surrounding Xiao Liu outside the interrogation room door, and started questioning him all at once:

"Xiao Liu, what is going on here? Why was Director Wang taken away by the Disciplinary Inspection Commission?"

"When Director Wang was being taken away, why did he call this kid a jinx? Didn't he scoff at that kind of talk before? What on earth happened in the interrogation room just now?"

"Xiao Liu, stop zoning out and hurry up and tell us what this is all about!"

Police officers were human too; naturally, they felt curious and loved gossip. Furthermore, this matter was closely linked to them.

Xiao Liu swallowed hard, finally managing to calm his shocked state of mind.

Facing everyone's inquiries, he made a wry face and replied, "I don't know why Director Wang was taken away by the Commission either. However, right before they arrived, Director Wang told me to let this student go. But this student refused to leave, saying he wanted to stay and watch a good show. At the same time, he also said Director Wang had a bad physiognomy and was destined for imprisonment. As soon as he finished speaking, the Commission agents showed up..."

Xiao Liu was now filled with dread toward Li Sichen. This could be seen from the way he addressed him. Previously, he would either call Li Sichen a jinx or that kid, but now, he had changed it to "this student."

"What? Xiao Liu, is what you're saying true or false?"

"Good grief, isn't this way too mystical? Could this kid have known all along that Director Wang would be taken away by the Commission? That's why he refused to leave when you tried to release him, and insisted on staying to watch the show?"

"This is getting more and more absurd! Don't tell me this kid has the ability to foresee the future!"

The officers were frightened by Xiao Liu's words, all wearing expressions of mutual shock and bewilderment.

After a long while, an older, veteran police officer exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly said, "Whether this kid has the ability to foresee the future, I don't know. But there is one thing I can be certain of: he is truly a jinx! And a super-sized, terrifyingly powerful jinx at that! At least, in all my years as a police officer, this is the first time I've ever seen someone so bizarre!"

As soon as the veteran officer finished speaking, it immediately prompted the others to nod repeatedly.

Everyone felt he was entirely right. Li Sichen was simply an oversized jinx!

Keeping such a jinx around gave one a creepy sensation, like needles pricking the back. Because no one could be sure whether, after causing consecutive mishaps at the police station and getting Wang Guotao taken away by the Commission, this jinx Li Sichen might end up affecting them, causing them to suffer a terrible stroke of bad luck as well!

The more one thought about such a thing, the more terrifying it became!

After a brief silence, one officer spoke up, "Xiao Liu, go inside and ask this student when he's willing to leave... With him here, I honestly feel completely unsettled!"

When the other officers heard this, they nodded in agreement without exception. "That's right, that's right, Xiao Liu, go on in and ask him."

"No! I'm not going in!" Xiao Liu hurriedly refused, his expression so anxious he looked like he was about to cry.

He was genuinely terrified of Li Sichen to his very bones. He was afraid that if he went inside and said the wrong thing, he would follow in Wang Guotao's footsteps.

Getting beaten up was a minor issue, but suffering enough bad luck to end up in prison would be the complete end of him!

Just as the group of officers were passing the buck to one another, each hoping to make someone else enter the interrogation room to persuade Li Sichen to leave, an SUV police car sped into the police station and parked right in front of the administrative building.

Immediately following that, a female police officer in her early twenties, wearing glasses and exuding a scholarly aura, stepped out of the SUV.

Glancing at the dark administrative building, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then, she raised her voice and roared, "Wang Guotao, get your ass out here!"

This single roar completely shattered her previous gentle and scholarly demeanor.

The bold, fearless spirit of a tough heroine was fully displayed!
