After one of them spoke, the other two simply stopped pretending and said, “Yes, we were pretending. We confess, we confess. Yan Zhifeng asked us to pretend!”


  The three bodyguards were all Yan Zhifeng’s men. After being punished by Qin Shuang for a long time where he was unable to speak, Yan Zhifeng had become aware of Qin Shuang’s ability.

  However, he did not think much of it at that time. He only thought that Qin Shuang had learned occult tricks that were straight out of legend. He was afraid of and hated her, so he used this move and planned to end Qin Shuang.

  The three of them had confessed and there was also evidence. Yan Zhifeng had no chance to retort……

  In the interrogation room, Jing Fei and his men quickly solved the case. Yan Zhifeng was arrested for slandering others and sent to the ordinary police station to be charged.

  Logically speaking, Qin Shuang had used her special power and hurt an ordinary person. However, considering that she had almost been misjudged and was detained for a day, and that she had chosen to join the special department without any hesitation, Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi discussed it between themselves. They decided not to imprison her for a few more days to teach her a lesson and released her instead.

  Qin Shuang became an external staff of the special department. She usually filmed outside, but if any case involved the entertainment industry, she had to provide help.

  Everything seemed perfect.

  After Qin Shuang was released, she became furious. “I don’t know how many years Yan Zhifeng will be sentenced to. If it were me, it would be at least three years, right? Then he should serve at least three years!”


  Upon hearing this, the surrounding people suddenly fell silent.

  Qin Shuang was confused and heard Xue Xi say, “It might not be that much.”


  Qin Shuang was stunned. “Why?”


  Xue Xi coughed and explained, “Ordinary laws are actually not that harsh. He slandered you for hurting him, but only those with serious plots will be severely sentenced. In his situation, the plot was not serious.”


  Jing Fei nodded.

  Zheng Zhi thought for a moment. “In his situation, he will probably be sentenced to a few months in prison. If it had been Qin Shuang, she might even have had to pay compensation.”


  Qin Shuang: “?”


  She pointed at herself in disbelief and exploded, “If I’d done this, it would have been a three-year sentence or even a lifetime. Why is it that when it comes to him, the punishment is as light as a feather? This is unfair!”


  Cen Bai, who was beside her, reached out and touched her head. He rubbed it down as though he was stroking a cat to comfort her. “It’s fine. To him, losing his reputation is more terrifying than going to jail.”


  Cen Bai’s eyes turned cold. “In the future, he won’t have a good life in the entertainment industry.”


  In the special department, Cen Bai was controlled by others.

  However, in the entertainment industry, Cen Bai was the King!

  With his superpower, he could get anything he wanted!

  Suppressing a newcomer who had just made it big was nothing for him. Moreover, from this scandal alone, Yan Zhifeng would sink.

  Cen Bai’s words were extremely domineering. Qin Shuang could feel his protection. Moreover, her anger instantly dissipated after being gently caressed by him. She only said nervously, “Hubby, you still have to film. I’m fine now. Hurry up and go to the production team!”


  Cen Bai smiled. “No need to fret.”


  “How can I not be anxious? Hurry up and leave!”


  Qin Shuang pushed Cen Bai and walked out. When she reached the door, she was still looking out sneakily. “I’m telling you, put on your hat when you go out. Don’t let the reporters capture you. Otherwise, there will be rumors about you and me again!”


  Cen Bai: “.……”


  He fell silent and suddenly smiled. In the end, he did not tell anything to this girl, who had not touched her phone again after being locked up last night.

  He nodded. “Alright, I’ll go to the production team for now. You…… can go back to the apartment to rest first.”


  With the production that Qin Shuang was filming, the female lead had first been detained because of an incident. Now that her case had been cleared, the male lead got detained instead. In short, they could not continue filming for the time being. Qin Shuang could only go back home and take a shower or something.

  Hence, Qin Shuang nodded obediently and said like a docile kitten in front of her idol, “You have to work hard! Also, you have to take care of your body during the production!”


  Cen Bai nodded.

  After taking two steps forward, Cen Bai turned to look at Qin Shuang. “Must I really leave?”


  “Go!”


  After sending Cen Bai off, Qin Shuang heaved a sigh of relief.

  When Qin Shuang was facing others, she was considered to be capable and forthright. As soon as she saw Cen Bai, however, she would immediately change her attitude. At this moment, this little girl-next-door image made Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi widen their eyes.

  This girl was completely different from the one who threw a tantrum last night, alright?

  Zheng Zhi sighed. “Everyone is wary of espers, but I didn’t expect ordinary people to be even darker at times.”


  Jing Fei nodded. “So, Son, don’t always look down on ordinary people in the future. Some people’s intelligence can surpass yours by ten times!”


  Zheng Zhi: “.……”


  After saying that, they turned to look at Xue Xi, only to see her frowning as though she was thinking about something.

  Jing Fei hesitated and asked, “Sister Xi, what are you thinking?”


  Xue Xi said, “I’m thinking, who’d set the laws of espers?”


  She looked at Zheng Zhi. “This is too unfair.”


  Espers were also humans. Although they were stronger than humans, the greater their abilities, the greater their responsibility. Why was there such a high restriction on them?

  Seeing her say this, Zheng Zhi clenched his jaw. “Why are you looking at me like that? It’s not me. If I’d been the one who set it up, I would definitely have made stupid ordinary humans serve us!”


  The moment he said this, Jing Fei slapped him on the head.

  Zheng Zhi instantly realized that he had said something wrong and said, “No, that’s not what I meant. However, as espers, we should abide by the rules more than ordinary people. This is the discipline that the strong must practice!”


  Zheng Zhi’s words were incoherent. Jing Fei explained, “Sister Xi, you should know that there is an international esper alliance in this world, right?”


  Xue Xi nodded. She had heard this from Xiang Huai. Not only was there an international esper alliance, but there was also an international esper school. Omnipotent Boss, her teacher, had studied there for two years.

  Jing Fei coughed. “The law for ordinary people is set by every country according to their national situation. The punishment system is also different, but the law for espers is unified worldwide and is issued by the International Association of Espers. In other words, if ordinary people break the law in the country and escape overseas, it will be very troublesome for the people in the country to cross borders to pursue them. However, it’s different for espers. Once they are wanted, all the espers in the world have the right to capture the criminals and bring them to justice. Hence, even if they commit a crime in their country, it’s useless to escape overseas.”


  Xue Xi understood these words and sighed. “I keep feeling that since the world is so harsh to espers, it’s no wonder that everyone hides their identity as espers and hides among humans.”


  As an ordinary person, perhaps she would be fine even if she made a small mistake.

  However, espers would be punished if they made any mistakes.

  If this happened to her, she would probably not want to admit that she was an esper!

  The special department had such a high status in the world. Logically speaking, such a situation should not have happened!

  Xue Xi could not figure it out, but she did not know much about the International Association of Espers, so she could only shake her head and send Qin Shuang out.

  Qin Shuang had just taken her phone from Jing Fei. She stood at the door and smelled freedom. She felt comfortable.

  At this moment, more than ten fans who had come yesterday appeared at the door.

  She did not know if it was an illusion, but Qin Shuang felt that the gaze Empress was giving her was so strange.

  Just as she was thinking this, she heard her say, “Did Brother’s car leave from here just now?”


  The moment she said this, Qin Shuang hurriedly waved her hands. “How can that be? How is that possible?! That cannot be! Brother is filming with his production team! How can he appear here?!”


  After refusing to admit that it was Cen Bai who had just left, she realized that the gazes of the dozen or so fans in front of her were not right.

  Empress suddenly said, “Early. How does it feel to be with Cen Bai?”


  Qin Shuang: “???”
