Stuck in a Chinese novel

"Of course it was. Who do you think I am?" Wei Jun retorted and said. Since he was alone anyway, he didn\'t bother speaking to the system in his head.

"Besides that, tell me what does \'invader\' mean?" Wei Jun asked, pointing to the title he had in the quest.

[You]

[You are the invader host]

[It\'s your official title]

[You just haven\'t gained it yet]

"Why not?" Wei Jun asked as he exited the building. He equipped his biker suit along with the helmet but didn\'t sit on his bike but entered a truck.

[Because you haven\'t done anything invader-worthy yet]

[Right now you\'re just a simple thorn that has no weight]

"You\'re quite blunt, aren\'t you?" Wei Jun commented on the choice of words of the system as he entered the vicinity of downtown and made his way to the shadier part of the town. The area where the more unethical class of the population resided.

Wei Jun checked the list as the system replied to his question.

[Of course, I am only telling the truth after all]

Wei Jun didn\'t mind since it was the truth. He had almost died while fighting a nobody cultivator and had to use millions of worth of equipment to kill a second one. Both of these weren\'t blessed by the world so in a sense, Wei Jun hadn\'t done something noteworthy defeating them.

[Why don\'t you receive the rewards from the quest now?]

"Later. I need to finish this by tonight." Wei Jun said as he exited the truck and approached a group of rough-looking men. He said, "Which one of you is Lau Shu?"

The men were confused looking at the strange figure in the helmet. One of them said, "What\'s it to you?"

"It would be better if you tell me?" Wei Jun simply replied back.

"Or what?" One of the goons said.

"Or you would all have to suffer." Wei Jun simply said.

The group of goons didn\'t take Wei Jun\'s words kindly and cracked their hands and necks while saying a line that Wei Jun found cringe as hell. He had read it in the novel about a hundred times and he had only read two volumes so far. The line that appeared the most was, "Courting death."

Wei Jun sighed and said, "Well, all you reek of murder anyway so I guess the workload would be increasing tonight." Wei Jun simply stepped forward and prepared his fists. This was going to be a long night of work for him.

=====

[You have killed a person]

[No Qi found]

[No stats available to absorb]

Wei Jun ignored the message the umpteenth time as he melted the last corpse in the acid and saved the organs that could be saved. Wei Jun then put them all on the black market under an auction and left the building.

His work for the night was done. As he left the place, it was already nearing dawn. Wei Jun was feeling somewhat tired after killing almost two hundred people. All of them deserved to die but that wasn\'t why Wei Jun killed them He wasn\'t a hero of justice; he just chose to pick the easier targets.

People no one would miss, no one would care if they died, but the impact would be the same when the law would get involved. Wei Jun smiled as he contacted Li Wei who on the other side sounded like had just woken up, "Yesh, Bosh?"

She replied mid-yawn, making the words leaving her mouth sound very strange. Wei Jun ignored that and said, "Leak it. All of it."

"Yes, boss." Li Wei replied from the other side and the simple phone call ended. Now was the time for Li Wei to do her work. He had made sure to leave proper evidence behind. It was hidden but not to the point that the incompetent police would be able to find it.

Although Wei Jun wanted to frame Run Long for Hen Zu\'s murder, he decided to change the target because Run Long would be a little difficult to tie up to this. The trail of such an operation would have to lead quite a while back and Run Long wasn\'t in the town then. However, Wei Jun\'s current target was.

"Found anything?" Zhao Hui asked the forensic scientist of the Yuan Yin police department.

"Well, if it isn\'t the newly promoted Sargent, have you come to gloat?" The forensic expert, Kao Hun retorted.

"Are you still mad I didn\'t throw celebratory drinks?" Zhao Hui asked.

"I don\'t care if you\'re technically my boss now but I am going to speak my mind," Kao Hun said before he added word by word, "Promotion. Means. Drinks."

"Haha. Fine. I will get you your drinks this weekend. As much as you want." Zhao Hui said.

"You better." Kao Hun said before he finally moved on to the main topic and said, "And regarding the scene, I\'ve found 198 different types of organs. Such an excessive amount screams organ trafficking. The building was equipped with freezing rooms and everything to keep the organs fresh as if they were just harvested. You will have to ask the IT team to find out about the organ selling though."

"I see." Zhao Hui said before he asked the most important question, "Find anything we could use?"

Kao Hun chuckled and said boastingly, "Who do you take me for? I am the great Kao Hun, the genius of forensics. Of course, I found something."

"What?" Zhao Hui asked, ignoring the earlier sentence of Kao Hun.

"A thumbprint." Kao Hun said, leaving Zhao Hui stunned. Kao Hun raised his head and said, "It was old, almost erased, heavily damaged but me, the great Kao Hun, managed to obtain it anyway."

"We must have gotten quite lucky." Kao Hun said as he fetched the file with all the details.

"How so?" Zhao Hui asked as he took the file but he hadn\'t opened it yet when Kao Hun replied, "Because we managed to obtain his fingerprints two days ago. Had we not, the suspect wasn\'t on any database."

Zhao Hui was intrigued and although he was about to pen the file and read the suspect\'s details, he couldn\'t help but ask, "Really? Who?"

As Zhao Hui opened the file to read the details, Kao Hun also replied, "No one other than the famous Yao Tian."

Zhao Hui stopped. It was a name he was very familiar with. It was none other than the person who was not only famous, but Zhao Hui also knew him very well because he was the one who had brought him in and took his fingerprints in the database.

The gears in his head began to turn, his mind worked at full capacity, the best it could and he realized, \'Wasn\'t it Wei Jun Ruan who had made the arrest of Yao Tian possible?\'

That one question changed many things. Many theories formed in his mind. What if this was all a plan? What if the person behind all of this was none other than Wei Jun Ruan? It was possible because he was the one who had asked Zhao Hui to follow him, it was him who had provoked Yao Tian and it was also because of him that Yao Tian was arrested and his fingerprints ended up on the police database.

He sighed and read the file. The fingerprint was a perfect match even though the one obtained was only half of the thumbprint. He couldn\'t help but think that someone might have something to do with this. Someone behind all of this. \'Someone\' known as Wei Jun Ruan so he asked Kao Hun, "How sure are you?"

"What?" Kao Hun asked, not hearing the praise he was hoping for.

"How sure are you that these fingerprints belong to him? And even if they do, is there a chance of plantation?" Zhao Hui asked. It was rare but such a case was seen before so it wasn\'t out of the realm of possibility.

"That would be hard. Actually, very hard. To accurately plant that part of the print, the one doing it must be an expert in this field. And even they can\'t do a good job. Even I can\'t do a good plantation without leaving the trace of tampering behind so I think it is all real." Kao Hun replied.

Zhao Hui knew that Kao Hun\'s expertise was not doubtful, but he still couldn\'t dismiss this suspicion. Not until an IT expert came yelling, calling his name.

"What?" Zhao Hui asked. The IT expert only gasped for air as if he had been running the whole day and handed him a file. Zhao Hui opened the file and sighed. The trace and the sales record are clearly traced back to Yao Tian.

"It was hard, very hard. There were many securities in place and I had to use some drastic measures to find them but I managed to trace everything." The IT expert explained once he caught his breath.

There was no room for doubt anymore. Everything pointed to Yao Tian being the criminal and Zhao Hui had no choice but to arrest him, despite the nagging feeling at the back of his head.
