Chapter 173: Chapter 156: Involving Prostitution, Must There Always Be the Opposite Sex?

Look, that’s what desperation looks like!

On the brink of life and death, even losers can have a surge in emotional intelligence.

He made the first move, defining the situation as a "honey trap."

To ordinary people, while this situation is vile, it does invite intervention.

If someone genuinely exuded intimidation, sending shivers down your spine, who would dare come to help?

Helping him by calling the police afterward would be considered a moral high ground.

However, unexpectedly for Li Xiao’Er, the female secretary not only remained calm but even the Beautiful Person beside her couldn’t resist laughing.

"Why are you laughing?! I’m serious, I’m serious!" Li Xiao’Er felt his face burning; these people were simply too disrespectful.

"Brother, did you give me any money?" the Beautiful Person asked with a smile.

Li Xiao’Er blushed and said, "I’ll give it to you now..."

"Oh, brother, do you take the police uncles for fools?"

The Beautiful Person laughed even more eerily, "Besides, so many people here are watching. Do you think they’re just decor?"

Li Xiao’Er’s face turned even redder, even more than a monkey’s bottom.

He stiffened his neck, adopting the attitude of a pig unafraid of boiling water, "Humph, don’t bother explaining. We agreed on a price; you said it yourself, three thousand per session, pay after the act. Don’t try to deny it!"

Viewers on the live stream couldn’t help but cringe at this.

"Damn, are you even a man? Telling lies with open eyes, if you must die, die with some dignity."

"Exactly, getting all lovey-dovey with the beauty earlier, and now what’s this? Throwing her under the bus at the first sign of trouble?"

"You’re a disgrace to all men, not daring to own up to your actions and blatantly lying. I can’t stand it; throw him down as fertilizer."

Seeing the viewers’ curiosity, Ning An didn’t hold back and pointed the camera at the best angle.

The next second.

Five or six police officers emerged from the elevator.

Whoa.

Seeing this scene, the viewers on the live stream were all wide-mouthed and some were dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, there’s a mole among us, who called the cops? Don’t want us to enjoy the show, right?"

"Oh my God, quickly find the mole. I’m fed up; the cops are here, what’s the point of watching now?"

"Where did we go wrong, mole brother, speak up, no need to punish us like this, crying." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The viewers were wailing everywhere in the live stream.

Before anyone could react, the lead officer began to organize.

"You two, start inspecting from that side. You two, follow me from this side."

Oh my!

Viewers were calling out in their hearts, oh my!

This was almost identical to the arrangements made by the rich woman earlier, just changing a blockade to an inspection.

Though we might miss out on some family drama, the police raid on illicit activities is still worth watching.

"Hehehe, they really came to check on illicit activities!"

"Hahaha, wonder if it’ll be like on TV, where the police make two guys wear shorts and walk out openly."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it’s possible, but usually for men. Women still need to put on clothes, this isn’t boxing, boxers don’t come looking for me."

Seeing all this, Ning An was utterly amazed by the viewers.

"Daoist Ning?"

Just as Ning An turned around, a familiar and excited voice boomed.

Turning back to look, it was indeed an old acquaintance, walking quickly towards him.

"Officer Xiaoli, last time the case of child prostitution was handled by him at Changchun Temple."

"Wait a minute... Last time, I remember him being with the Criminal Investigation Unit, how come he’s here on a raid?"

"Could it be he offended someone? But that doesn’t seem right, even if a member of the Criminal Investigation Unit offends someone, it wouldn’t lead to being assigned to a raid."

The majority of the viewers knew Officer Xiaoli, but they were curious: wasn’t Officer Xiaoli part of the Criminal Investigation Unit!?

You know, the positions of the Criminal Investigation Unit and the Anti-Vice Squad seem to be on the same level, but the potential and power they hold are worlds apart.

You can’t say it’s because the police station couldn’t afford funding, so they let the Criminal Investigation Unit handle a bit of the anti-vice work, right?

With numerous questions from the viewers, Officer Xiaoli arrived in front of Ning An.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Officer Xiaoli, Ning An was a bit puzzled and jokingly asked:

"Officer Li, what’s up, did you offend your mentor? How come you’ve been assigned to do anti-vice work."

Officer Xiaoli wasn’t annoyed, just scratched his head and chuckled silly: "My mentor said, my social experience is too little, couldn’t help much in solving cases, needed to go out and toughen up, heard anti-vice work is the best for experience, so I signed up."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, Ning An looked at him sympathetically and nodded.

Anti-vice work does indeed train officers; this statement is quite true.

Traps and illusions, gender-bending beings, reverse acquaintances...

One can only say, Officer Xiaoli is quite blessed.

Officer Xiaoli was curious as well, and asked Ning An: "Daoist Master, at this time, the Daoist Temple should still be open, right? How come you’re suddenly here at the hotel?"

Officer Xiaoli suddenly showed his professional subjectivity, looking at Ning An with a strange gaze.

Seemingly saying: You’re not here for prostitution, are you?

Ning An saw right through his thoughts, and replied irritably:

"Don’t look at me with those worldly filthy eyes, I wouldn’t do such a thing."

"I’m here at the viewers’ request to watch the show."

Hearing Ning An’s words, the viewers in the live stream were also chuckling.

"I’d say, Officer Xiaoli is just straightforward, seeing everyone as if they’re engaged in prostitution."

"Hahaha, such officers must be increased, our society needs more officers like this."

...

Officer Xiaoli realized his thoughts had gone astray, awkwardly chuckled while embarrassed: "No, no... Daoist Master, I..."

Just then, two officers had already arrived at room 319, ready to knock on the door.

Witnessing this scene, Officer Xiaoli took a deep breath, and turned back saying:

"You two, hold off going inside, Xiaozhang, accompany them inside."

"Yes."

With Officer Xiaoli’s words, the female officer behind him immediately responded.

Actually, this time they weren’t here for a raid, but someone from Chaoyang District reported that someone in room 319 of the hotel was abducting and assaulting, possibly even engaging in more severe behavior!

In such circumstances, police tend to use anti-vice tactics to investigate.

The advantages are clear; dealing with vice only requires fifteen days and a few thousand bucks, in comparison to a bullet, the suspect’s vigilance is reduced, effectively protecting the victim.

Moreover, female victims are less willing to be seen in distress by males, compared to two big males, a female officer’s irreplaceability becomes even more apparent.

However, Ning An casually spoke:

"It doesn’t need to be like that. If it’s to avoid involving a female suspect in vice, arranging a female officer isn’t necessary."

"There’s no female involved in the vice inside the room."
