MYSTERY Novels

Police academy student Jian Ruochen transmigrated into a novel set in 1990s Hong Kong, becoming the despised real young master—a cannon fodder character meant to contrast the beloved fake young master. In the original plot, the unwanted young master gave up his inheritance of ten billion to pursue family affection and love. In the end, however, he was disdained by his father, abandoned by his lover, and offered to his rival’s bed, only to have his kidneys and heart harvested to ensure the fake young master’s health. Jian Ruochen’s reaction: [Metro elderly man looking at phone.jpg]What nonsense is this?Where’s the Criminal Code? On the day of transmigration, the original host was in the midst of rejecting his inheritance for love.The British butler asked, “Young master, are you certain you choose love over 10 billion?”Jian Ruochen: “What nonsense love? I’ll take the 10 billion.” After inheriting the fortune, Jian Ruochen returned to his old profession, becoming a criminal psychology consultant for the police force, determined to bring to justice the male lead who committed three crimes per chapter in the original novel. Later…Captured serial killer: “That day, I merely brushed past Detective Jian, and he immediately pinned me to the ground and handed me over to the police.”Captured drug-manufacturing gang: “I was just getting a haircut when Detective Jian happened to sit next to me. He said he’d introduce me to a better barber—and sent me straight to prison. Now… I’m bald.”Captured robbery suspect: “Wahhh! I tried to rob Detective Jian. I only meant to take 1 million, but he gave me 50 million and told me to get lost. I didn’t get it then, but later I realized—robbing 1 million would’ve gotten me ten years… He wanted me to get a life sentence!” After Jian Ruochen left the Jiang family, everyone who had wronged him in the original story was filled with regret.Facing the media:His father said: “He has always been my pride. I want to leave my entire fortune to him!”Jian Ruochen: “Keep your petty change. Hard pass.” The beloved fake young master pleaded: “Brother, I know you’re a good person. Please save me.”Jian Ruochen: “But you’re not a good person. You belong in prison.” His former fiancé knelt before him, begging for forgiveness: “Can you forgive me just once? I always loved you!”Jian Ruochen: “Regret it now? Then listen up—“The Jiang family is guilty of tax evasion, endangering public safety, and organized robbery. Death penalty.“As for the Jiang family’s young master… grand larceny. Ten years or more.“And you, former fiancé? You’re even more impressive. You’re involved in organ trafficking, illegal biopharmaceuticals, eight unlicensed KTVs, twelve adult entertainment centers engaged in money laundering, plus tax evasion, antiquities smuggling, and more…”Jian Ruochen smiled: “Congratulations, you’ve earned yourself a steel peanut.” [Note: slang for bullet] Later…Senior Inspector Guan Yingjun of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, a man who struck fear into the hearts of criminals, gently kissed Jian Ruochen’s fingertips. “We’re short an expert in criminal psychology. Why don’t you stay with us instead of going to Superintendent Le?” [Super scheming, wealthy, and cunning fox (bottom) x Cold exterior but passionate inside, truth-seeking (top)] Reading Guide: This story is a product of keyboard-smashing, prioritizing entertainment.
