099 You are the true "Black Cat Heroes"!

"Bureau Chief Xiao, the city bureau passed the buck to us, asking us to help restrain the boss of 'Creative Ability' after they were pressured to do something about him."

"Just treat them like they're passing gas."

Xiao Yuanyin had enjoyed a relatively stress-free Lunar New Year. The case had been wrapped up quickly; it was just internal infighting within the "Cloud Society," a classic case of "dogs biting dogs" among organized crime groups, a typical squabble over the spoils of the underworld.

It was certainly not some coordinated gang violence, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the students from any university in our district or city.

Everyone was a victim.

Stay calm.

Furthermore, the "Great Hero Bridge Mass Knockout Incident" on New Year's Eve had made the Canglong District the most "peaceful and prosperous" it had been in decades. After all, normal people didn't want to go out for lanterns only to get hacked to death.

Normal people thought that way, and petty thieves thought the same.

Rumors were spreading through the streets about that lunatic, the "Jianye Dual-Blade Prince," who attacked indiscriminately, hacking off people's heads if he didn't like the look of them.

He was a total psycho.

As for the "Great Hero Bridge Axe King," the "Cat-Head Dual-Blade Swordsman," and the "Unrivaled Black Cat Hero," they were all talking about the same thing.

"Ah... huff."

Yawning, he had muddled through another day. A new year brought a new outlook; he hoped every day would be this peaceful. Bureau Chief Xiao was currently quite fond of this state of affairs.

A bit lazy, a bit slothful, but free from illness and disaster—everything was fine under heaven.

As for his subordinates being constantly annoyed by a certain someone...

Bureau Chief Xiao had an answer for that: "Suffer a little, brothers; the Canglong District Precinct will take the blame!"

"By the way, Xiao Chen, is Boss Li still back in his hometown?"

"Checking the IP address on his Weibo, he should still be there."

"Good."

Bureau Chief Xiao looked relieved. "I really hope he never comes back. Why did he have to come to Jianye for university? Couldn't he have studied art at the Huating Theater Academy?"

"Maybe he just really likes duck blood vermicelli soup?"

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Bureau Chief Xiao liked it too, so on the second night of the Lunar New Year, he pulled out his phone to check for food delivery, only to find that only "KFC" was open. He had no choice but to have Xiao Chen brew a bowl of "Spicy Beef Noodles."

With a blink of his eyes, he muddled through the third day of the New Year just the same.

By the fourth day, he checked Weibo and saw that student Li Jie's account IP was still in Pingjiang, which brought Bureau Chief Xiao great comfort.

Just hold on a little longer. Three more days, and the whole country would be back to work.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth was welcomed everywhere, and the atmosphere was lively. Plus, since the movie *Fairy and the Monkey* had been out for three days and its terrible reputation had spread far and wide, "Howling Celestial Dog Li Jie" had become one of the day's trending topics.

Bureau Chief Xiao wondered, student Li Jie had actually played a dog?

Young man, with your skills, even if you weren't playing a divine deity like Erlang Shen, you could have at least been one of the Four Heavenly Kings—why play a dog?

This *Fairy and the Monkey*... I suppose I should go see what that's all about.

When his shift ended, Bureau Chief Xiao took his wife and child to see the trashy film. Although it was bad, plenty of people were watching; Lu Xiaoguan's commercial instincts remained sharp.

Even though it was his big-screen debut and had been directed in a rush, it didn't stop it from being a bucket of "popcorn" that was trashy but still chewable.

It was a love story between a monkey and a fairy, naturally featuring some soft-core elements, the kind that exploited male sex appeal.

Bureau Chief Xiao's wife praised the physique of the "White Dog Deity" repeatedly, which made him a bit jealous, wondering if she would still be praising him if she saw the real "White Dog Deity" taking on fifty people and killing them all.

Just as he was about to doze off in the theater, his phone buzzed. He took a peek, and his composure vanished. He leaned over and whispered, "Honey, I'm going to the restroom."

"You know where it is?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Bureau Chief Xiao scurried out of the screening room and dialed a number in the hallway: "Xiao Chen, what’s the situation?"

"Those kids who were terrorizing the streets in Hexi at night—the patrol cars tried to corner them before but couldn't stop them, and they even shot off 'fireworks' at us. But after they entered Hexi Park Road, they never came out. When the patrol car went in, they found them all stripped naked and tied to trees..."

"..."

Normally, catching the "neon-light motorcycle punks" would be a joyous occasion, but since it wasn't his own men who did it, it felt a bit lacking.

Especially since these Hexi "punks" had some connections. While their families weren't exactly high-ranking officials, they had enough pull—local bailiffs and gentry still had to rely on local ties.

Bureau Chief Xiao usually found these things annoying.

But now, he wasn't annoyed. It was satisfactory—still, he was quite happy, just a little unsatisfied.

If his own men had turned up the pressure, he would have been applauding.

In reality, the patrol cars had gone a bit easy on them; as long as the "punks" didn't cause any major trouble, the principle was to catch the big fish and let the small ones go.

But unfortunately, the situation was different this time.

There was "Post-Wave" Weibo!

Especially that animal Li Jie, who had once again tagged the police: "Mice, hello! Do the mice see how impressive the Jianye mice are?"

"Family, who gets this? A fan happened to pass by Hexi Park in Canglong District and filmed the Canglong Precinct catching 'neon-light punks' even on the fifth day of the New Year. Thank you @JianyePolice for silently guarding our beautiful home!"

Li Jie's Weibo post was quite effective, especially with *Fairy and the Monkey* currently in theaters. As soon as he surfaced, his "ten-year haters" replied: "Brother Crab acted well," "Good job, Brother Crab," "Brother Crab is just playing himself"...

This post didn't need to be the same; the "ten-year haters" went to comment, but once they saw the pictures, they were shocked, their hands trembled, and they just posted a "doge" emoji.

"Terrified [doge]."

"Terrified [doge]. +1"

"Terrified [doge]. +2"

...

Meanwhile, on the newly added official homepage message board for *Black Cat Hero Police*, there was a link to the "Creative Ability" official forum, where comments were synced to the homepage.

There was a "Wish Pool" where people could leave messages about what they wanted the "Black Cat Hero" to help them with.

It looked like an official event, nothing strange about it.

However, a child in Jianye made a wish. Unlike the other brats wishing for wealth or long life, this was a genuine wish.

"Black Cat Hero, on the way to my dad's work, some people ride their bikes really fast. Once, my dad was even knocked down and hurt. Can you help..."

There was a complete event, both parties involved, and the location. All that was left was for the "Black Cat Hero" to investigate if it was true.

It turned out to be true. So, lurking on the local Jianye "Biker Forum," he found the embodiment of justice and coolness... a certain Mr. Guo, a counselor at the Jianye Academy of Art.

Brother Guo asked around in the student groups and found the circle where the "neon-light punks" hung out.

They had agreed to meet on the fifth day of the New Year at Hexi Park Road to set off fireworks and welcome the God of Wealth, hoping he would bless them with new, super-hybrid, high-performance motorcycles this year.

Damn, heavy-duty motorcycles are so cool~

But they never expected the "Black Cat Hero" to suddenly pop out, causing chaos, turning everything upside down, and leaving them all stark naked!

The "Black Cat Hero" had no other hobby than whipping the "old, middle-aged, and young neon-light punks" severely.

He whipped them until their skin was torn, then vanished without a trace.

And then...

Then the child's wish was granted.

But the credit went to the Canglong District Police, as there were photos and proof.

Li Jie's Weibo was being shared widely. After all, his "ten-year haters" and the "new fans who don't know the truth" might be different in other ways, but their love of watching a spectacle was identical.

Those not in Jianye or who hadn't followed Li Jie's every move would only get the illusion: "Oh, this celebrity is actually pretty good."

But once you followed him for a while, there was no illusion left; one look would make you explode, and then you'd grin deviously: "He-he~~"

"Brother Crab is absolutely right! Thank you, you @JianyePolice @CanglongPoliceStation are the real 'Black Cat Heroes' of Jianye!"

"So moving, no words needed!"

"Eat big, no salt needed! Make sure to eat and drink well during the New Year! @JianyePolice"

"Wait, why are you tagging @JianyePolice instead of @Police? I've seen the blogger always tag @Police before? What's going on?"

"Can the newcomers learn the rules? Is that something you can just tag? Brother Crab, bite them!"

As for the police station, the poor soul on duty now didn't really want to welcome the God of Wealth. To say nothing else, could they just send the "Howling Celestial Dog" surnamed Li away?

Every time they opened the backend, it was a dark day. How were they supposed to do their jobs in peace?

Third update.
