Supreme Rogue Play in Another World - Chapter 28 - Framing and Scapegoating
“Stop being so stubborn, Boss Guan…” Boss Cao tapped his fingers on the table a few times: “If the big boss really finds out, you’ll be in even bigger trouble, you know? Yes, even if you didn’t do it, and someone made a fake video to frame you, you have to understand, these videos are flawlessly made. We simply can’t find any holes in them, so… I guess I don’t need to spell out what’s next, do I?”
Hearing this, Boss Guan’s face turned pale, and after a long moment, he nodded foolishly before sitting back down in his chair, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth: “That damn Zhou Cang, if I ever catch him, I’ll skin him alive!”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, laughter erupted. Zhou Cang was sitting on a couch, smoking a cigarette and crossing his legs, while a few students holding eavesdropping devices laughed and slapped their thighs. One student said to Zhou Cang, “Young Master Cang, it looks like your plan is going smoothly. They are now biting each other like dogs. Boss Guan is so deep in trouble that not even jumping into the Yellow River could cleanse him now!”
Zhou Cang smiled and nodded, then instructed, “Call the boss and let him know everything is going smoothly here. It’s just a matter of seeing how things go on his end!”
In a Western restaurant on Binhai Road in Jiuzhou District, a man dressed in a black trench coat, wearing sunglasses and a duckbill cap, put down his phone and touched the mustache above his lips, smiling, “Zhou Cang really knows what he’s doing; the target side has already started making a fuss. We’re ready to add fuel to the fire and draw the big fish out!”
Sitting opposite him was a burly man, dressed in the same outfit, who didn’t say a word, just nodded, and quickly polished off a plate of steak in front of him.
These two, Run Tiancheng and Third Zhuang in disguise, paid their bill and walked out of the restaurant, turning into an alley. They changed into the sports academy school uniforms that Zhou Cang had prepared for them, and then headed straight into Mingdu University.
That day was a weekend, and the school was on break, with only some boarding students and Boss Liang’s men on campus. The security guard at the entrance glanced at the two of them, saw they were in sports academy uniforms, and let them in without asking questions.
Once these two ‘monsters’ got into the school, they unleashed chaos. In just half an hour, all the security guards and delinquent students were knocked down, mostly using sneaky, underhanded tactics. As Zhou Cang had previously explained, there were a few capable fighters among Boss Guan’s men, but their methods were treacherous, so Run Tiancheng and Third Zhuang’s actions could not be straightforward.
Before the police arrived, the two had already left Mingdu University and immediately turned their attention to Miao and Gu’s school, repeating the same tactics.
At the Tianding Hotel, several bosses were still discussing whether they should report the situation to Boss Ge when a few subordinates rushed into the room: “Not… not good! Two guys dressed in sports academy uniforms caused trouble at our school, injuring many of our brothers!”
“What?” Liang’s eye twitched a few times, and he slammed the table, glaring at Guan, “What do you want? Did you order this?”
Guan was speechless, just about to defend himself when several more students ran in to report the same situation to Miao and Gu.
“Guan, how could you do such a thing? I even vouched for you as a brother!” Miao, enraged, pointed at Guan’s nose and questioned him. Gu also glared at Guan, hoping for a reasonable explanation.
“Are you sure they were wearing sports academy uniforms? What else did they say?” Wei-Ge’s eye twitched a few times, feeling that this was definitely a trap and that everyone was unknowingly falling into it, but couldn’t figure out where the trap lay.
“Yes, they claimed they were standing up for Guan, saying they’d long been displeased with our schools, that the position of the overlord of the Jiuzhou Higher Education Institution Alliance should belong to their boss… and…” The student glanced at the bosses, mustering the courage to continue, “They said that apart from Guan, the other bosses are all useless trash, and why should their sports academy only get ten percent of the money…”
Upon hearing this, the bosses exploded like a barrel of gasoline with a fuse attached. Boss Cao pointed at Boss Guan and continued to scold him, “Well, look at you, Guan Hu. The five of us have always had clear roles: Wei-Ge handles sales, Boss Liang is in charge of receiving and shipping goods, Boss Gu and I manage other businesses, and you are in charge of all security. But in this territory, no one has the power to stir up trouble, so your job is the easiest. You’re already getting a fair share, yet you’re still unsatisfied?”
Then the bosses all started bombarding Boss Guan with a barrage of criticisms. Boss Guan really hated that he wasn’t eloquent enough to retort, only able to take the scolding, cursing those two men using his name all the way back to their ancestors in his mind.
“Alright, everyone, calm down!” Wei-Ge finally slammed the table, “Now we go back to the sports academy with Boss Guan, bring the beaten brothers and have them identify those troublemakers. This matter is probably not as simple as we think!”
Boss Guan started to appreciate Wei-Ge from the bottom of his heart. Although he had always disliked him, he never expected that it would be this guy who would give him a chance to clear his name in the end.
The bosses exchanged looks and agreed with Wei-Ge’s plan. They immediately left Tianding Hotel and took the beaten students straight to the sports academy.
Next door, Zhou Cang smirked and licked his lips, then dialed Run Tiancheng’s phone: “Brother, everything is going smoothly, just as I predicted. That Wei-Ge is no ordinary guy, but his little smarts will only continue to mislead him. Proceed with the second step of the plan!”
Run Tiancheng and Third Zhuang were resting at an abandoned construction site at the time. After hanging up the phone, Run Tiancheng looked at the two guys tied up like sacks, bruised and unconscious beside him, and chuckled, “Zhou Cang’s tricks are really something, having us tie up the two toughest guys from the sports academy in advance, then impersonating them… hehe, time to get back to work! But speaking of which, the ‘toughest guys’-you and I took them down without even trying!” He then took out a mirror and looked at his face, “The Zhou Family’s makeup artist is really good, they look exactly like those two guys!” Third Zhuang clenched his fist in agreement, and the two quickly headed for Peace Road in Jiuzhou District.
Peace Road in Jiuzhou District is the busiest section of the development zone, where illegal establishments like bath centers with underground gambling dens are concentrated. Among them, a billiard hall and an amusement center are covertly operated by Boss Cao and Boss Gu.
The two men stood outside the amusement center, exchanged a smile, then pulled baseball bats from behind their backs and walked inside…
