[Holy shit, shit, shit, the police are coming! What crime did Zheng Yirui commit?]

[Let me guess, is it possible that Zheng Yirui secretly takes drugs like Fang Yuan? The person who reported Zheng Yirui was the host, was it?]

[No wonder the streamer turned off the mic and made a phone call earlier. It turned out to be a call to the police.]

[So the streamer has just been talking to Zheng Yirui and helping him calculate his fortune. It turned out that she was delaying to give the police time to arrive. She was not a fan of his after all. Master, I understand!]

[It’s over, my house collapsed!]

The news that the police have come to the front door of Zheng Yirui immediately spread, from one to ten, and then ten to a hundred. Many people were discussing the matter, and the situation gradually fermented.

The audience in the livestream channel were both sad and excited. They actually had the chance to see a celebrity being caught on the spot. This was something that could be remembered for a lifetime.

Being suddenly visited by the police was something no one ever expected, and it was a bit hard to accept.

Zheng Yirui fell into a huge confusion, not knowing where he was or what he was doing.

He picked up his cell phone and looked at it. He saw many speculations about his drug use and other crimes he was said to have committed. He trembled all over and gritted his teeth; he said, “I have never done anything like that. Don’t talk nonsense!”

Although Zheng Yirui was visibly struggling, An Rugu was relieved to see that the police had entered the bedroom, so she said in the livestream channel, “Don’t make random guesses. It was I who made the call to the police. The person they want to arrest is not Zheng Yirui, but another person.”

Zheng Yirui: “???”

Audience in the livestream channel: “???”

[Ah? Is there another person in Zheng Yirui’s apartment? Could it be his fellow group member?]

[No, they no longer live together. They should be Zheng Yirui’s family.]

[That’s fine, that’s fine. No matter who is arrested, just don’t arrest Zheng Yirui. My house doesn’t have to collapse.]

However, Zheng Yirui was not as happy as the audience imagined he would be when he learned that it was not him who was going to be arrested.

At some point, his face turned as pale as paper, and he felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured down on his head. His whole body felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and his thighs could not help but tremble. He even wondered if he would actually faint.

He opened his mouth and his lips trembled, trying to speak but unable to get the words out.

The audience in the livestream channel was confused, but when they thought about it—it was either Zheng Yirui’s relative or friend who would be arrested. It was inevitable that he would indeed be sad and horrified.

After a while, Zheng Yirui finally regained the ability to speak and he cried in a broken voice, “I— I live alone!”

He did not live with his peers or his parents. He lived alone in this community. Apart from him, where was the other person in this apartment?

Audience in the livestream channel: “???”

[So who is the other person the police want to arrest?]

[Ah ah ah ah help, I’m scared to death. It couldn’t be a ghost, could it?]

[My cabinet door moved and I won’t play anymore!]

Zheng Yirui was so frightened that he swallowed nervously. The house he had decorated with his own hands became extremely unfamiliar, as if the next moment, a ghost with claws and fangs would rush out.

He thought of the policemen just now and quickly followed them with his cell phone. In this strange, unfamiliar world, only the police could give him a sense of security.

All four police officers were in the master bedroom where Zheng Yirui slept. Some police officers opened the cabinets to check inside, while others opened the curtains to check behind it.

Zheng Yirui pursed his lips and said nervously, “Uncle policeman, who are you looking for?”

The leading police officer replied truthfully, “Someone reported that there is a person hiding in your bedroom.”

Zheng Yirui: “!!!”

Was there a stranger hiding in his bedroom, the very place where he relaxes and finds peace at the end of the day??

For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether it was more terrifying that there was a ghost hiding in the bedroom or a living person invading his bedroom.

Officers searched under desks, inside closets, and behind curtains.

Zheng Yirui gritted his teeth, feeling that he was useless just standing there. After thinking about it, he fiddled with his phone and turned on the flashlight.

The flashlight above the camera suddenly shone a beam of light.

It seemed like there was only one place left.

He should look under the bed.

He lay down on the floor and pointed the flashlight under the bed.

Then he turned and looked.

He met eyes in the darkness.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the livestream channel also looked into eyes in the darkness.

It was very dark under the bed, and the beam of the flashlight was pointed right at the face. For a moment, the face was half black and half white, like an evil ghost.

Zheng Yirui: “!!!”

Audience in the livestream channel: “!!!”

[Ah ah ah ah help, there is a ghost under the bed! ! !]

[Fuck, I was so scared that I peed on the spot.]

[I was so scared that I threw my phone away.]

[Prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony…]

The excessive fright caused Zheng Yirui’s eyes to blur, his eyes rolled upwards involuntarily upwards, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, the police noticed the movement over at the bed. They immediately leaned down and saw the woman under the bed.

The policemen promptly stood up and helped Zheng Yirui, who was as limp as a sheet of paper, to sit on a chair.

The policeman stood beside the bed and said in a firm, cold voice, “Come out now, immediately!”
