Chapter 169: Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!
Faced with the teasing barrages in the livestream chat, Jiang Yun let out a cold laugh and said, "I'll put my words right here today: if Officer Fang gets promoted because of this petty thief, I will livestream myself doing a handstand and shitting!"
Jiang Yun said this with absolute confidence because he was certain he didn't have any magnetic field turned on.
Therefore, it was completely impossible to trigger those hidden buffs!
He didn't believe that so many absurd things happened around him day in and day out.
If nothing absurd was happening, then this was just a plain, ordinary thief.
Could a petty thief directly get a police officer promoted? Did they think getting a promotion was that easy?
However, faced with his confident declaration, the viewers in the livestream could not help but worry.
"Don't do it, Brother Yun, the livestream room is going to get banned."
"You kid, you just stuffed yourself with hot pot, and now you're trying to trick us into watching you eat shit again, right?"
"You want the entertainment effect and you want to eat shit too? Do you expect to have all the best things in the world?"
"I like your confidence, but you aren't allowed to turn off the livestream when you're shitting!"
".............."
Seeing that the audience was still in a teasing mood, Jiang Yun pointed the camera directly at Fang Siqi.
"Come on, take a good look, everyone. This is just a petty thief. Can he get Officer Fang promoted? Do you guys actually believe that?"
While he was speaking, Fang Siqi had already pinned the man who had just tried to escape to the ground.
"Police, don't move!"
Hearing Fang Siqi's words, the man who had originally intended to struggle suddenly quieted down.
Seeing this, Fang Siqi let out a cold chuckle and said, "You've got some nerve, trying to commit a robbery right in front of the police!"
Robbery?!!!
Hearing this word, Jiang Yun's eyes widened instantly.
Robbery and theft were not the same concept at all!
This stuff might actually get Fang Siqi promoted!
He took a few steps forward and walked up beside Fang Siqi.
However, before he could ask for clarification, the man pinned to the ground by Fang Siqi became agitated first.
"Even if you're a police officer, you can't just talk nonsense! I'm a thief, a thief, a thief! How can a cop like you not tell the difference between theft and robbery?! Do you think they carry the same sentence?!"
Jiang Yun:.........
Well, look at him, he even knows the law!
"Ha!" Fang Siqi sneered. "Theft refers to the act of secretly stealing public or private property with the purpose of illegal possession, involving a relatively large amount or repeated thefts. Robbery refers to the act of forcibly seizing public or private property through violence, coercion, or other methods with the purpose of illegal possession. Do you care to guess how I knew you committed a crime and pinned you to the ground just now?"
It was only at this moment that Jiang Yun remembered.
The reason he and Fang Siqi knew this man had committed a crime in the first place was because the female victim had been shouting "thief."
This proved that the victim knew her assets were being compromised at the time.
If it could be proved that she knew while the man was committing the crime and had cried out, then this wasn't theft—it was robbery!
And ordinary people facing an emergency situation were very prone to temporarily confusing the concepts of theft and robbery.
He himself had just been led astray by that girl's shouts!
Right at that moment, the girl who had been shouting "thief" all along appeared.
Out of breath, she pointed at the man pinned to the ground by Fang Siqi and said, "Officer, he's a thief! He's the one who stole my stuff!"
Fang Siqi looked intently at the girl. "How did he steal your things just now?"
The girl pointed to a spot not far away. "I was shopping over there just now, and suddenly I felt someone moving around inside my bag. I turned my head and saw this guy's hand digging around in my bag. When he was caught by me, he straight up snatched my bag and ran!"
Jiang Yun:..........
It's over.
It is completely, utterly over!!!
Jiang Yun looked at the girl with a stiff expression and asked in a low voice, "This is robbery! Why on earth were you shouting thief?!"
The girl blinked, looking somewhat bewildered as she replied, "Is this robbery? Isn't it theft?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun had no choice but to look to Fang Siqi for help. "Officer Fang, a robber shouldn't be enough to get you promoted, right?"
Fang Siqi didn't answer his question; she just grinned at him, revealing a neat row of white teeth. "Thank you, God of Chunxi Road."
When the viewers in the livestream heard this, they completely lost it.
"Hahahaha, I can't hold it in anymore."
"The God of Chunxi Road! [Official Certified Edition!]"
"Brother Yun's experience tells us that you shouldn't make big boasts."
"Bragging when the wind is at your back, head hanging low when it's against you. Where's that arrogance you had just a second ago?"
"It was worth watching you eat hot pot for an hour; the main event was waiting right here!"
"Salute everyone, pay respects to the God of Chunxi Road!"
"So when are you doing that handstand and shitting?"
"Is Brother Yun going to pay homage to Lao Ba as well?"
"............"
Jiang Yun's mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.
After a long silence, Jiang Yun said stiffly to the livestream audience, "It looks like it's going to rain soon. I think I hear my neighbor calling me home to collect the laundry. Bye everyone, folks."
With that, amidst a sky full of question marks, Jiang Yun directly shut down the livestream.
He swore to himself that he would never dare to casually jinx himself with a flag ever again!
Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
Right at that moment, Jiang Yun noticed his WeChat was ringing.
And it kept ringing continuously.
He couldn't help but open WeChat to take a look, only to find that Dai Xiaomei and the others had actually created a chat group.
The group included Dai Xiaomei, Mozi, Tuntuntun, and Tuozijie.
Basically, they were all streamers Jiang Yun knew.
And the recent notifications were these people @ing him.
Dai Xiaomei: When is Brother Yun livestreaming his shit-shoveling handstand? @Jiang Yun
Tuntuntun: What's wrong with you, Brother Yun? Could you really not get full off one meal of hot pot? @Jiang Yun
Mozi: We're all neighbors. If you're really that hungry, you can come over to my place for a bite; there's no need to eat *that* @Jiang Yun
Tuozijie: What's wrong, Brother Yun? Is that stuff tastier than my crispy pork? @Jiang Yun
Looking at the taunts in the group, Jiang Yun silently replied with a smiling emoji.
Jiang Yun: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a young man into poverty!
Just as Jiang Yun sent it, Dai Xiaomei and the others immediately chimed in right behind him.
Dai Xiaomei: Do not bully a middle-aged man into poverty!
Tuntuntun: Do not bully an old man into poverty!
Mozi: The deceased deserve the utmost respect!
Tuozijie: You guys said it all, what am I supposed to say?
............
Because the nearby police station wasn't far away, Jiang Yun simply escorted Fang Siqi and the man—whose crime was still up in the air between robbery and theft—over there.
Once they arrived at the station, Jiang Yun didn't rush to leave. Instead, he said to Fang Siqi, "Please make sure to let me know the result the very first moment it comes out!"
Fang Siqi looked at him with a half-smile. "What result?"
"Whether this guy is a robber or a thief, and whether you can get promoted!"
Jiang Yun's attitude was exceptionally sincere.
However, this only made Fang Siqi find it even funnier.
Although she didn't know the specific details, based on her experience watching Jiang Yun's livestreams, this was definitely another flag Jiang Yun had planted.
"Alright, I'll definitely notify you the very first second."
