Chapter 493: Caught In The Act!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ACE head office was actually quite easy to get into especially after his friend had deliberately left the key behind.
Sun Liang had never done this kind of thing before, but Xu Pingyang had offered a lot of money in a time when he was extremely short on it.
He just needed to sneak in, pour some oil, light a fire, then let it burn for a while before reporting the fire... that shouldn’t cause much of an impact.
He had even thought of an alibi for the cause of the fire. He would put a cigarette butt on the ground, this kind of little thing wouldn’t be investigated too deeply.
Bypassing the security, Sun Liang successfully sneaked into the office which was already dark.
The wooden cabinet was definitely locked, and if anyone tried to break into it, the noise would definitely alert the security. It would be quite hard to pry it open anyway, the lock was very sturdy.
The easiest way would just be to burn the entire thing.
Sun Liang poured the prepared oil carefully, not wanting to let the light from the flames alert anyone. He also purposely made a line of fuse so that he would have time to leave after the fire started.
After he had carefully carried out his work, his face broke out into a smile.
The deed was done, and once the money was in his hands, he could be throwing it on the woman’s face, see if she smiled or not?
Lighting up a cigarette, Sun Liang snuffed it and flicked it toward the place that he intended to burn, and then he lit the trail that he had left.
The lighter clicked and the small light illuminated the room. Once it hit the trail, it immediately lit up and burned lively. The wooden cabinet would soon catch flame, it felt like a Brand’s ulti!
Ka ka ka!
Suddenly, there were three strange sounds.
Sun Liang jumped, hurriedly looking around. He realized that the light above his head was blinking!
After flashing for a while, the bright white light shone brightly in a stable stream, prickling Sun Liang’s eyes with the sudden harsh light.
Immediately, familiar shutter lights were flashing!!
As Sun Liang’s vision slowly returned, he looked around and he almost peed his pants in fear.
“You...you guys!!” Sun Liang’s face received a hard punch, hard enough to leave a dent.
A sports shoe stepped onto the slowly burning trail, easily snuffing out the flames.
Meiqi was holding a camera, her face full of smiles as she saw the haunted look on Sun Liang’s face.
“Wanting to burn evidence, don’t you know I have already applied for the protection of evidence. Setting a fire in the ACE office, it’s already an arson attempt, including proof of destruction of evidence, congrats, don’t even dream of coming out of jail between three to five years.”
Everything would be witness and evidence.
When they found out that Xu Pingyang intended to destroy the contract, Lin Dong and the rest of them had wanted to stop it. Meiqi, however, suggested that they let them burn it, catching them in the act instead.
To ensure that everything went perfectly, Meiqi also involved her brother who was a policeman.
No matter how much Sun Liang had planned ahead, he wouldn’t have dreamed that he would be caught here. His face was pale white especially when he saw the handcuffs...
Just a minute ago, he had been fantasizing about the white smooth skin of the woman, and in the next second, it had become handcuffs. Sun Liang was going nuts.
“Sun Liang, did Xu Pingyang instruct you to do this?” Da Luo said as he came up to give him a kick.
Sun Liang was silent, he was probably frightened to an extreme extent.
“You want to betray Xu Pingyang, it takes guts.” Da Luo laughed coldly.
“Leave it to me.” Meiqi’s brother said lightly.
As part of the police force, their demeanor was completely different. He didn’t bother saying anything, merely putting the handcuffs on him directly and extremely tightly!
“This is a big building and the property damage caused by arson could be about tens of millions. The fourth to eighth floor is also a hotel, if the fire had spread and caused casualties, this would also be a serious crime. Just with these two factors, five years in prison is getting off lightly. No one in the building would let you go on this. Of course, if there was someone who had instructed you to do this and you tell the truth, the mastermind will be the one bearing the more heavy weight...Well, in my understanding, your boss, Xu Pingyang, is also involved in some cyber frauds and commercial crimes. If you want to avoid ten years in prison...Well, that’s nothing then. Let’s talk slowly at the station.” Li Xi swiftly gave Sun Liang an injection shot, the rest wasn’t urgent.
First, they would throw Sun Liang into the lockup for a few days, only giving him some bread and water, let him feel panicked and insecure, then only talking to him again slowly. At that time, he wouldn’t need to ask a lot, Sun Liang himself would spill the beans. These kinds of people were not from the underworld, it would be easy to deal with.
He brought Sun Liang out of the office, the police car already waiting downstairs. Watching as Sun Liang was shoved into the car, Da Luo was still very unsatisfied and wanted to kick him to death like the dog that he was.
“Just leave this guy to me, don’t worry about the rest. I’ll take him to the cyber police for interrogation as well.” Li Xi said.
“Cyber police?” Meiqi asked.
“The cyber police have been keeping an eye on Xu Pingyang for a long time. Cyber fraud is real, but the problem is they hadn’t been able to gather enough evidence. This kid is Xu Pingyang’s lapdog, I’m sure we’ll be able to dig a lot of information from him.” Li Xi explained.
Meiqi didn’t know the details of the issues much, but since the police had accepted it, she wouldn’t question it.
They had managed to secure the evidence, so after this, Xu Pingyang would fail the court case!

“Have you done it!?” Xu Pingyang asked as he sat in a dark room in Sky Club, calling Sun Liang.
“It’s...it’s done...” Sun Liang’s voice was a bit odd.
“Then where are you?” Xu Pingyang continued.
Xu Pingyang then heard some calls in the background.
He understood immediately and cut the call. His heart whispered, that guy must have gone to find prostitutes again. After getting some money, instead of using that money to earn more money, you only know how to do those kinds of things. The more money you got, the more girls you can play with, idiot.
Xu Pingyang naturally didn’t know that Sun Liang was already in the interrogation room, and as for the strange sound, it was screams from the next room which was definitely not soundproof. Xu Pingyang was the one who had thought in the wrong direction.
Also, he never expected that they already had their eyes on him from a year ago. His tax avoidance issues, his cyber frauds, his network terms, his investment problems, the money squeezing, and the largest internet hacking platform problems!
***
Early in the morning, the fragrance of porridge floated out from the kitchen. The translucent curtains blocked the morning rays as the warm light poured in. In the clean and spacious hall, five computers were arranged neatly, giving a very comfortable feeling.
“All of you get up, I made preserved eggs with lean meat. Come, come, hurry up and eat!!” Meiqi’s voice called out from the kitchen.
Meiqi was donned in cute pink bunny pajamas, leaving very little for imagination. She also wore an apron which added to her sexiness and charm. The tone of her voice was also like a newly-wed wife calling her lover to get up and eat her hand-made breakfast.
It’s just that reality and dreams were very different, there wasn’t just one man in this apartment, and instead of a gentle voice calling out, the group of boys who had finally gotten the weight off of them couldn’t get out of bed, so...
“F*cking wake the h*ll up, if you don’t get up, I’m pouring the porridge in your bed!!”
With that roar, three doors opened in unison and the boys who were just clad in their boxers thundered toward the bathroom, washing their faces and brushing their teeth, peeing and combing their hair in a rush, finally stumbling out to the dining hall to sit!
Meiqi felt as though she was feeding pigs, giving each of the six boys a big bowl, sweetly saying, “I plan to hire an assistant for our team, there’s too many calls to take, too many people to meet. Jian Feng and I are just too busy that there’s not enough time.”
“Hire, what kind of salary?” Lin Dong asked.
“Can we even afford it?” Wu Sen asked.
However, after eating a few mouthfuls, they realized that Meiqi was smiling widely, and they stared at her blankly.
F*ck, they were so used to being poor that they had forgotten that the team had a small fortune now!
Firstly, Boss Lei from the Demacia Club had given them a lump sum of 100,000 RMB, considering it as a deposit so that the team wouldn’t leave the cafe!
The LPL champion team, the strongest team in China, could Boss Lei still afford to be so stingy?
His club was already walking the high rope, it needed the glory to sustain his club.
This 100,000 RMB that he forked out was not particularly for anything, it was just to stop other people from poaching Team Skycrown from his place.
Of course, he had still given to them the initial amount that was agreed on in the contract. As the club’s profit would be distributed to Team Skycrown as well, they now had a stable income.
And then there were Team Skycrown’s sponsors, live broadcast entitlements, Weibo entitlements, WeChat publicity among others, and there were already countless companies that wanted to discuss with Meiqi and Jian Feng about the prices. Meiqi was still considering all of it...
In view of the long-term interest, Meiqi not only asked for higher prices for licenses, there were also conditions. After all, if they ruined Team Skycrown’s reputation, that wouldn’t do. They couldn’t let those people who only knew how to make money from players simply use Team Skycrown’s reputation!
“Her name is Dai Lan and she will be the assistant for the team. She is an english major eight grade so she’ll be able to deal with the overseas contacts. You guys will be heading into the S International League next, a translator is a must. My english is OK but it’ll be a bit impossible for me to go to the US with you, there are just too many things going on. I would have liked to do a bit of travelling after the competition, but in the end...” Meiqi grumbled, her face sulking.
“Big sis, you’ve worked hard.”
“Big sis, you’ve done well.”
“Big sis, a good person lives a long life...”
Meiqi glared at them, growling, “Get lost, it’s not like I’m showing nudes, what do you mean a good person lives a long life!”
