The Unfilial Son

Brainstorm filming had been his earliest idea.

At first, he had thought he could use it to make movies. After all, everything here could be freely imagined. If he could record the scenes, wouldn't he be able to film whatever he wanted?

Of course, if it was merely turning fantasies into images, that actually wouldn't amount to much for many people.

Otherwise, everyone could just close their eyes and imagine things. Why would they need to watch movies or anime?

The key lay in the realistic clarity of Bai Ge's imagination, as well as the details supplied by the Bell.

A scene with a million people was impossible to film in reality, since it was impossible to gather a million people for filming. But Bai Ge could do it here. Every person's expression, appearance, and clothing details were different. Even their individual personalities were displayed. The level of detail was unparalleled.

Bai Ge could film stars from close range here, even scenes from inside them.

Of course, Bai Ge couldn't guarantee that what he filmed was objective fact. But at the very least, Bai Ge already understood so much knowledge. Based on what humanity currently believed to be true, the stars evolved by the Bell would absolutely be the form closest to what scientists were willing to believe.

Moreover, the scene would be different every second. It would never be something that endlessly repeated like CGI.

Bai Ge had never expected that the first time he used his imagination to film something, it would be to create false evidence.

A simulated real-life scene, simulated people, and a self-directed performance made for perfect video evidence.

It was impossible for anyone to discover that it had been processed with special effects. It was impossible for anyone to discover that it had been manually edited. It was even more impossible for anyone to claim that it was a CGI scene.

The entire shot possessed perfect, realistic detail. Without any processing, it had been filmed in a single take.

In other words, this thing was indistinguishable from reality. Only the content could be directed at will by Bai Ge.

"Cut! This won't do. The dialogue sounds a little unnatural. I drank with them that night and noticed they used quite a lot of crude language, and they had local accents, too."

"Also, keep the dialogue as short as possible. The more they say, the more mistakes they'll make! Just have them say the key phrases."

"Cut! It's still missing something... Right, they need some personal habits. I've observed those two. One of them constantly shakes his leg, while the other likes to tap the wall or table wherever he goes, as if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Bai Ge pursued perfection, striving to make the footage as realistic as possible.

He even wanted to make the two people in the footage question their own sanity when they watched it.

Bai Ge himself appeared in the footage as well, playing "Wang Qian" while directing and observing from the side. The camera was hidden in the darkness, and Bai Ge would occasionally glance at it to show that the camera had been secretly placed there by "Wang Qian."

Filming this lasted until dawn, because the entire incident had taken seven hours.

Bai Ge removed Shao Yuan's involvement from the incident and changed it into Wang Qian and two subordinates removing all the organs from an unconscious person.

In the end, the two subordinates left, while Wang Qian turned off the machine in front of the camera.

"Master, I recommend that you film the operation from the night before last as well. Shao Yuan was the lead surgeon," the Bell suddenly said.

Bai Ge tilted his head. He quickly understood the Bell's intention.

"You mean having Shao Yuan take the blame for illegally harvesting kidneys for this group, right? The crime isn't too serious. If we make it look like he committed it under duress, he might even be exempted from punishment entirely," Bai Ge said.

The two people who had been "framed" would definitely refuse to confess obediently. As far as they were concerned, the truth was that Shao Yuan had done it.

They would definitely tell the police what had truly happened over the past two months.

In other words, Shao Yuan would have no way to escape the crime of illegally harvesting kidneys.

Rather than letting them tell the story, Bai Ge might as well directly create evidence of Shao Yuan's crime and hand it to the police. That way, Bai Ge could design the course of events himself.

Very soon, an imaginary creature identical to Shao Yuan was created.

He was escorted into the operating room and resisted with all his might. In the end, the three men beat him and threatened his life with knives, forcing Shao Yuan to perform the operation.

The entire process followed the standard circumstances of a crime committed under duress. Based on what Bai Ge knew, that was enough to completely exempt him from punishment.

With this ironclad evidence, combined with the many crimes this group had already committed, no matter what they said later, their testimony would not be believed.

Shao Yuan would be implicated, but he would be implicated in a minor offense while escaping the major one.

For three consecutive days, Bai Ge gathered all kinds of evidence of their crimes. Some of it he obtained directly by relying on his identity as "Wang Qian."

Some of it, he created through his imagination.

Aside from Shao Yuan's case, the other false evidence actually depicted real events.

Over the past few days, Bai Ge had coaxed the truth out of dozens of people one by one.

He had clarified the circumstances behind the crimes and "re-created" all the evidence this group had destroyed.

After three days, the evidence in his hands was enough to bring down the entire Tianwang Company. Every participant, without exception, was faced with ironclad proof of their crimes.

"Ledgers, photographs, fingerprints, videos, recordings... This is already a complete chain of evidence. The only thing lacking is witnesses. But they truly committed these acts. Once the police get involved, there will be no shortage of witnesses. Everyone who was harmed or threatened will come forward to testify against them."

"Hmm, I'll write a diary, too, and record all the crimes. Then I'll record all the places where the evidence is hidden! Done!"

"Next, I just need to get the police moving."

That morning, Bai Ge drove Wang Qian's car straight to Tianwang Company and went directly to Wang Jiu's office on the third floor.

When he saw Wang Jiu being intimate with a beautiful woman, Bai Ge smiled faintly.

"You little brat, what are you doing? Don't you know to knock before coming in?" Wang Jiu scolded.

Bai Ge stepped forward, grabbed the woman, and said, "Xiao Ling, come with me! I've always liked you!"

"Huh?" Xiao Ling looked bewildered and terrified as she glanced at Wang Jiu.

Wang Jiu froze as well, utterly stunned.

The Xiao Ling Bai Ge was talking about was actually Wang Qian's current stepmother. She was thirty years younger than Wang Qian's father and three years younger than Wang Qian.

"What did you say?" Wang Jiu grabbed the ashtray and hurled it at him. Bai Ge hurriedly dodged.

Wang Jiu was absolutely furious. He had always thought his son was useless, but today the boy had finally shown some ability—he was actually trying to steal his woman!

What he had said was simply outrageous.

Bai Ge said with an indignant expression, "You two aren't married. Why can't I like her?"

Wang Jiu was enraged. He kicked at Bai Ge, but this time Bai Ge did not dodge. He took the blow head-on and pretended to fly backward out of the office.

The acting in that backward flight stunned even Wang Jiu. The power of my kick is terrifying!

Wang Jiu then cursed, "Have drugs fried your brain? Get out!"

Bai Ge got to his feet and deliberately shouted, "You dare hit me? Why should I leave?"

The commotion between them alarmed the others.

Soon, everyone gathered around to watch the father and son argue.

Hearing Bai Ge's words, Wang Jiu trembled with rage. He had no idea what had gotten into his son today. The boy actually dared to talk back to him like this over a woman.

"You little bastard, get on your knees!"

Bai Ge sneered. "Let's make everything clear today. Xiao Ling, I've liked you for a long time. Come with me!"

Everyone erupted in an uproar. They all knew that Xiao Ling was the boss's girlfriend. Who would have thought the father and son were arguing over this woman?

Xiao Ling was certainly beautiful, but she was Wang Qian's stepmother! How could he dare?

Xiao Ling herself was dumbfounded. Is Wang Qian serious? But why didn't he say anything sooner?

Someone whispered to another, "I remember that when Xiao Ling first got together with the boss, Wang Qian's gaze toward her was already strange. But that was two years ago. Why did he suddenly explode today?"

Seeing everyone whispering among themselves, Wang Jiu felt that he had lost all his dignity today.

He immediately roared, "All of you, shut up!"

After saying this, Wang Jiu, though old, was still vigorous. He charged forward and kicked again.

Bai Ge would not take the hit this time. With a turn of his arm, he sent Wang Jiu crashing heavily to the ground.

Wang Jiu fell hard. Dizzy and dazed, he looked at Bai Ge in disbelief.

The others cried out in alarm. Some hurried over to help Wang Jiu up, while others grabbed Bai Ge.

"Wang Qian, have you gone crazy? How dare you hit Ninth Master over a woman?"

Bai Ge swung his arms from side to side and broke free of everyone.

He kept backing away until he reached the stairwell. Then he said, "He treats me like a dog, and he even wants to steal the woman I love."

"I've endured it for two years. I've had enough! Xiao Ling, I've fallen out with him for you. Give me an answer!"

Everyone looked at one another. They had never seen a father and son fall out so decisively.

Xiao Ling's face was flushed with embarrassment. Seeing everyone looking at her, she hurriedly said, "I only regard you as my own child. Xiao Qian, are you talking nonsense? Hurry up and apologize to Ninth Master."

Everyone wore strange expressions. Xiao Ling was three years younger than Wang Qian, so saying that she regarded him as a child sounded extremely unnatural.

But their seniority was what it was, and no one dared to comment.

Bai Ge let out a long sigh. "I endured it for two years for nothing. I wanted to take you with me today, but it seems I can only leave on my own. I hope you won't regret this."

"Catch him and bring him back!" Wang Jiu shouted.

Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade Bai Ge to apologize to Ninth Master.

Bai Ge said coldly, "Let's see who dares stop me! If you come any closer, I'll call the police!"

With that, he turned and walked away.

The group was utterly baffled. You're going to call the police? He must have drunk counterfeit liquor today!

Left with no choice, they all rushed forward to stop him.

Bai Ge's eyes narrowed. With three punches and two kicks, he knocked them all down.

His combat skills left the ordinary brawny men stunned.

Bai Ge strode away, and no one dared to approach him again.

"You unfilial wretch! You're going to be the death of me!" Wang Jiu was furious. The reputation he had built over more than a decade had been utterly ruined today.

Xiao Ling hurriedly smiled apologetically, but her heart was filled with bewilderment. Am I really that charming? Both father and son are this infatuated with me...

The entire scene fell silent. No one dared to speak.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

No one could understand it. If Wang Qian had been so infatuated with Xiao Ling, why had he said nothing when she first got together with Wang Jiu?

If he had endured it back then, he could have simply kept enduring it. Why had he erupted today, two years later?

What had those extra two years of endurance been for?

They soon learned why.

A little over an hour later, a group of police officers stormed in.

Everyone was still stunned, but they immediately reacted and moved to block them.

The tall, burly group managed to stop the police. This was not their first time doing something like this, and they were well practiced.

"Captain Zhang, you again? You brought so many people today. What? Do you have a search warrant?" Although Wang Jiu was still shocked by Wang Qian's betrayal, he quickly recovered and stepped forward to speak.

Captain Zhang smiled, pulled out an arrest warrant, and loudly read out the charges against the group one by one.

This was not a search warrant. It was an arrest warrant directly issued by the court.

Wang Jiu and the others were all stunned. Wang Jiu shouted, "Impossible! What evidence do you have?"

Seeing that the group seemed ready to act dangerously, Captain Zhang immediately shouted, "Arrest them! Let's see who dares resist arrest!"

Then he smiled and said, "I've had my eye on you for a long time. I was simply suffering from a lack of evidence. I never expected to receive such a generous gift today. Your son, Wang Qian, called the police and told us about all your crimes. He even provided ironclad evidence."

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

Wang Jiu was even more shocked. His mouth hung open, and his eyes were wide.

"Unfilial son!"
