The Silly Shou Transmigrated Into a Book - Chapter 22.3

“…Even then, I would still stand up bravely just to watch the fun!”

Kou Huai: “…”

Kou Huai gave him a big thumbs up. “You are f*cking incredible!”

Gu Qiuyi wiped his eyes and just like that, he followed right behind the police officers into the Jinyu Hotel.

Kou Huai was truly speechless. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Hansa; both felt a lingering fear, which inexplicably forged a sliver of “comrade-in-arms” bond between them.

Left with no choice, they followed Gu Qiuyi back into the hotel.

However, as they entered the elevator with the four officers, something felt off. When they saw an officer press the button for a very familiar floor, that feeling intensified.

Gu Qiuyi, maintaining his face of a pure male high school student, asked, “Officer uncles, who are you here to catch?”

One of the officers glanced at him and replied quite good-naturedly, “Criminals, of course.”

Gu Qiuyi raised his hand and asked, “Then, can I report a crime?”

Officer: “Hmm? What do you want to report?”

Gu Qiuyi said, “I want to report a gang of six in Room 508 who are trying to gang-rape a minor!”

Kou Huai: “!!!”

Kou Huai immediately covered his mouth. “Why are you talking nonsense again!”

the officers exchanged looks and said, “We received a report and are here specifically to arrest suspects in Room 508.”

Gu Qiuyi: “!!!”

He broke free from Kou Huai’s hand and shouted, “Then I want to report even more—there are several other victims too!”

Kou Huai: “…”

The officers said solemnly, “Don’t worry, little student. If the situation is true, we will bring the criminals to justice.”

Gu Qiuyi shook their hands. “Officer uncles, I’m counting on you! You must wipe out these social vermin for us! Give them the death penalty!”

Kou Huai couldn’t help but cover his face. He felt like disaster was imminent; this mess was only getting bigger.

He pulled out his phone and messaged Chu Yueguang: “Chu Yueguang, was it you who called the police?”

Chu Yueguang didn’t reply.

But Kou Huai knew it must have been him.

In this circle, there was filth and corruption everywhere; there was nothing new under the sun, and money could solve the vast majority of problems. For instance, Zou Shu spent 200,000 to buy an escort, bit off her “thing,” and played with her until she was hospitalized—that constitutes solicitation and intentional injury, right? But he spent money to buy her silence, so officially, no crime existed.

Although Kou Huai couldn’t stand it and loathed their behavior, he didn’t have such a strong sense of justice that he felt compelled to sweep away the darkness. He didn’t have the energy, nor did he feel the need to make enemies like that.

Even though he hadn’t taken over the family business yet, Kou Huai knew better than to go around offending people. He disdained joining them in their filth, but he wouldn’t report them either.

But now, with Chu Yueguang’s move, it was going to be hard to wrap this up.

Kou Huai looked at Gu Qiuyi, who still wore the face of an innocent “Justice Envoy,” looking like he was just missing a bright red scarf around his neck.

Kou Huai felt mentally exhausted. He looked at Jiang Hansa, who clearly had realized the gravity of the situation as well, looking both terrified and worried.

In moments like this, a contrast emerged. Kou Huai looked at Jiang Hansa again and found him less of a “background character” than before. He nudged Jiang Hansa with his elbow. “Let’s add each other on WeChat.”

Jiang Hansa froze, looking somewhat flattered.

Kou Huai seemed easy to talk to, but in reality, he was distant. He already had plenty of friends and didn’t need followers; he had no need for “new blood.” The only people who could constantly enter his contact list were young and beautiful men and women. The only reason Jiang Hansa had been able to thick-headedly add Chu Yueguang was because his parents had brought him along for New Year greetings last year, using a very faint distant-relative connection.

Being allowed into their contact lists carried an extraordinary significance.

With trembling fingers, Jiang Hansa pulled out his phone and scanned Kou Huai’s QR code. They successfully added each other.

Kou Huai patted Jiang Hansa and said with shared weariness, “Hansa, we’ve both worked hard.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

As they spoke, the elevator doors opened. Several officers filed out and rushed to the door of 508. They knocked, and the moment someone opened it, they subdued him.

Wang Meng’s furious voice rang out. Even now, Gu Qiuyi dared to lean toward the doorway to watch the fun openly.

Kou Huai watched him, feeling utterly hopeless. If this brat doesn’t court death for one day, he feels restless!

He went over to drag him away, but as he reached the door and glanced inside, he saw several officers pinning people to the bed and handcuffing them. Specifically, Wang Meng’s “cheeks” were stuck up in the air. He couldn’t help it; he let out a “pfft” and started laughing.

Wang Meng turned to look at him with a murderous gaze. Kou Huai immediately choked back his laughter and dragged Gu Qiuyi away. “Let’s go, let’s go, stop looking!”

Gu Qiuyi’s sharp eyes caught an officer holding a video camera, looking at the footage with a shocked expression. He turned to Kou Huai and asked, “Are they finished (doomed)?”

Kou Huai: “…I don’t know if they are finished, but I know if they aren’t, then you will be.”

Gu Qiuyi seemed to think of something as tears welled up again. He choked out, “True. I lied to Chu Yueguang, and he’s so angry. I’m afraid he won’t let me off easily.”

Kou Huai: “??”

Kou Huai said, “Aren’t you worried about Wang Meng and the others retaliating against you?”

Gu Qiuyi looked at him with those beautiful, teary eyes. “Don’t I still have you? Brother Kou Huai, you’ll help me, right?”

Kou Huai: “…”

Gu Qiuyi looked at him with innocent, pitiful, tearful eyes. “You will, won’t you?”

Kou Huai gave a dry laugh. “Qiu, your ability to stir up trouble is so powerful that if you don’t marry me and give me ten sons, I really won’t be able to cover for you.”

Gu Qiuyi said aggrievedly, “But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Kou Huai said tiredly, “You didn’t do anything wrong. You just said his ‘niuzi’ (penis) was small and his mouth was big.”

Revealing his cowardice in front of Gu Qiuyi was something Kou Huai was unwilling to do, so he shut his mouth and patted Gu Qiuyi. “Go back first. Get a good night’s sleep and don’t think about anything.”

Gu Qiuyi sniffed and gave a small “Mm.”

Kou Huai saw them off in Jiang Hansa’s car. Once the car left, he called Chu Yueguang. Chu Yueguang didn’t answer and hung up.

Refusing to give up, Kou Huai called again. On the third try, Chu Yueguang answered. “What?”

Hearing his voice, Kou Huai felt something was off. “You… why is your voice so nasally?”

Chu Yueguang said coldly, “If you have a ‘pi’ (fart/point), say it quickly.”

Kou Huai was shocked. Chu Yueguang, who always prided himself on being refined and noble, had actually used the word “fart”! “You haven’t told me yet—was it you who called the police?”

Chu Yueguang gave a cold “Mm.”

Kou Huai said, “Why did you make such a big deal out of it?”

Chu Yueguang said, “Why? Can’t I just vent my anger?”

Kou Huai felt something was wrong with those words. “Wait, what happened between you and Gu Qiuyi? He said he didn’t lie to you. What’s going on between you two?”

Chu Yueguang sneered. “Didn’t lie to me? He’s a total liar. He almost tricked me out of my ‘underpants,’ and he says he didn’t lie? (He almost completely fooled me).”

Kou Huai: “?”

It seemed Chu Yueguang was still in a fit of rage and was talking nonsense. “If I were a woman, I’d have given birth to eight or ten of his kids by now from his lies, and he says he didn’t lie. He thinks playing me is fun, huh? What is he even? I don’t give a damn about him…”

He didn’t finish, finally cooling down a bit. Realizing he had lost his composure, he quickly shut up and hung up the phone.

Kou Huai: “…………”

Holy sht, that’s a lot of information.*

Kou Huai went to find Gu Qiuyi. “Sh*t, Gu Qiuyi, what exactly is going on between you and Chu Yueguang?”

Gu Qiuyi: “Waaaaah, I just accidentally ‘climbed’ his bed before, but that really wasn’t my intention. I might have drunk fake wine. I was planning to explain it to him slowly, but I forgot.”

Kou Huai: “????? CLIMBED HIS BED????”

Gu Qiuyi: “It really wasn’t what I was thinking! I’m not that kind of person. Brother Kou Huai, you know me, I’m really not that kind of person. I really just drank fake wine and wanted to find a place to sleep, but I ended up in Chu Yueguang’s bed.”

Kou Huai: “Do you think I believe that?”

Gu Qiuyi was aggrieved to death. “Believe it or not! Anyway, I am an upright and honest person. I never lie!”

Kou Huai: “…”

Gu Qiuyi said: “Just like how Wang Meng’s ‘jiji’ is so small—I would never go against my conscience and say it’s big! That’s just how honest and blunt of a pure male high school student I am!”

Kou Huai: “…”

Regarding that last sentence, he only believed the words “male high school student.”
