Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 52 - 51: Reversing Black and White

"What do you want? You wouldn’t dare kill me, would you?" Huai Feifu said, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Lin Xinghai standing before him.

Star Shield Shelter has a very well-established legal system. If someone were killed, they would definitely investigate it to the fullest extent. Even a Mercenary like Lin Xinghai would be no exception.

The reason he dared to try and take out Lin Xinghai was because he had made preparations in advance and even found someone to take the fall.

He refused to believe that Lin Xinghai had also made such preparations.

"I certainly wouldn’t dare to kill you. But since you pointed a gun at me, I’m acting in self-defense. Crippling someone in that situation... that probably wouldn’t be a big deal. What do you think?" Lin Xinghai asked with a smile.

"What the hell do you want?" Huai Feifu said through gritted teeth.

"Look at my friends here. You scared them so badly they’ve gone pale. You should at least offer some compensation for their emotional distress! Let’s say... 2,000 Points each. Just a small token." Lin Xinghai said, pointing at Liu Miaomiao and the others. They were indeed pale with fright.

Of course, a large part of the reason their faces were so white was thanks to the bloody scene Lin Xinghai himself had created.

Lin Xinghai was currently unaware of this. But even if he had known, he would have firmly pinned the blame on Huai Feifu’s head.

"2,000 Points per person? Do you really think I can just pull out 10,000 Points?" Huai Feifu retorted.

"If you can’t come up with it, that’s fine too. Just transfer all the Points from your Identity Card to me. Whatever you have will do. I can take a small loss, it’s no big deal," Lin Xinghai said magnanimously.

Hearing this, Huai Feifu’s expression grew even uglier. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "In your dreams! I’d rather you cripple me than transfer you a single Point."

This sudden display of backbone from his opponent did catch Lin Xinghai a bit off guard.

He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then beckoned Liu Miaomiao and the others over and explained the situation.

"He’s unwilling to compensate you for your emotional distress. As the aggrieved parties, you tell me what we should do," Lin Xinghai said with a shrug.

By now, the women’s terror had turned to fury.

Wang Yao’s figure was as fiery as her personality. She was the first to step forward, looking Huai Feifu up and down before her gaze landed on his crotch. Her alluring red lips curled into a cold smirk. "No compensation is fine, too. You’ll just have to take a crotch kick from me instead."

"Major surgery like repairing shattered testicles costs at least twenty or thirty thousand Points. And I’ve read research reports on the subject before. Even if they fix you, there’s a high chance of psychological trauma. You’ll never get hard again."

Hearing this, Huai Feifu’s face went deathly pale, and he instinctively clamped his legs together. Not a shred of his earlier, death-defying bravado remained.

Forget him—even the onlooking Lin Xinghai felt a chill. He subtly shifted his body to a different angle before saying, "I’ll give you 10 seconds to make a decision."

"Fine, I’ll pay, alright?" After weighing his options, Huai Feifu wisely made his choice and took out the Identity Card from his pocket.

Lin Xinghai took the Identity Card, used his wrist-mounted computer to access it, and read the information. "Password. Iris scan."

With a grim expression, Huai Feifu complied.

"Over 7,000 Points. Not bad at all!" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but chuckle as he looked at the information on the virtual screen. He then quickly transferred the Points to his own card.

"See? Isn’t it much better when you cooperate? Here, take your card back. Ahem... you’re still a little short on the Points. That wrist-mounted computer of yours looks pretty nice, though. It should just about cover the rest," Lin Xinghai said with a grin.

"You..." Huai Feifu was about to start cursing, but then he saw Wang Yao, off to the side, already starting to stretch her long legs.

In the end, he swallowed his anger, unlinked his wrist-mounted computer, and handed it to Lin Xinghai.

His eyes grew moist... with tears of humiliation.

"Now that’s more like it! Money is just a worldly possession. You can’t take it with you when you go, right?" Lin Xinghai said, cheerfully consoling him as he strapped the wrist-mounted computer onto his own arm.

He had gotten the compensation, but the matter wasn’t over. After all, Huai Feifu had intended to kidnap them and was in illegal possession of a firearm. These were criminal offenses, enough to land him in jail for several years.

Only then would he be able to rest easy.

...

Soon, the security team arrived, and they were fully armed.

It couldn’t be helped. The person who made the report said they heard a gunshot.

Before long, they were all taken back to the security bureau. Huai Feifu’s broken hand was only given a simple bandage; treatment would have to wait.

And once at the security bureau, it was naturally time to give statements and so on.

But Lin Xinghai soon realized that something was not right.

Because the security officer in charge of taking his statement had already asked him the same question three times: Where did the homemade handgun come from?

"I will repeat this one last time. That homemade handgun was what Huai Feifu used to attack me. Everything I did was in self-defense," Lin Xinghai said, enunciating every word to the security officer in front of him.

"I’m sorry, but the information we have doesn’t match your story." Just then, a pot-bellied security official walked in.

He spoke while sizing up Lin Xinghai with a scrutinizing gaze, his presence quite imposing... if it weren’t for his massive belly.

At this point, how could Lin Xinghai not know that something fishy was going on? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He dropped the pleasantries, crossed his legs, and met the man’s beady eyes. "I’d love to hear," he said coolly, "how exactly our stories don’t match."

"According to the testimony provided by Huai Feifu, he is accusing you of armed robbery. His Bodyguards can serve as witnesses to this."

"Second, we found your fingerprints on the homemade handgun. Furthermore, transfer records show that 7,321 Points were moved from Huai Feifu’s Identity Card to your Identity Card."

"Also, in a moment we’ll have someone from the tech department come over to check if the wrist-mounted computer on your left arm belongs to Huai Feifu."

"If it’s confirmed to be Huai Feifu’s wrist-mounted computer, then the total value involved in this robbery will exceed 10,000 Points. According to the laws established by Star Shield Shelter, the maximum penalty is more than five years of imprisonment."

"It’s safe to say we have ample witness testimony and physical evidence. This is a confession. If you sign it now, we can try to get you a more lenient sentence." The portly security official produced a confession letter with a smug smile, savoring the look of surprise on Lin Xinghai’s face as he slid it in front of him.

And yes, Lin Xinghai was truly surprised.

He had only been at the security bureau for a few minutes—not even ten! Yet they had already produced both witnesses and physical evidence.

The way they twisted black into white was astonishing, and Huai Feifu’s connections were equally so.

If he hadn’t kept an ace up his sleeve, he might have really taken a huge fall here.
