The Detective Everyone Hates (Who Happens to Be a Billionaire)

Police cadet Jian Ruochen transmigrated into a book set in 1990s Hong Kong. He became the universally loathed ‘true young master,’ a cannon fodder character destined only to make the universally beloved ‘fake young master’ look good.

In the original plot, this ‘universally loathed’ character gave up a ten-billion inheritance, desperate for familial affection and love. But in the end, he was despised by his father, abandoned by his lover, thrown into the bed of a rival, and ultimately had his kidney harvested and heart torn out just to keep the ‘universally beloved’ fake healthy.

Jian Ruochen’s reaction was pure [Confused Grandpa Staring Intently at Phone] .jpg.

What the actual hell?

Where’s the criminal code when you need it?!

The very day he transmigrated, the original owner of the body was right in the middle of rejecting his inheritance for ‘love’.

A British-style butler asked, “Young Master, are you certain you wish to choose love and forgo the ten billion inheritance?”

Jian Ruochen: “Love? Screw that. I’ll take the ten billion.”

After inheriting the ten billion, Jian Ruochen went back to his roots, becoming a criminal psychology consultant for the police. He planned to bring the villainous couple from the original story, who seemed to break the law three times a chapter, to justice.

Later…

Captured Serial Killer: “That day, I literally just brushed past Officer Jian on the street. Next thing I know, he slams me to the ground and hauls me off to the station.”

Captured Drug Ring Member: “I was just getting a haircut, and Officer Jian happened to sit next to me. He said he knew a better barber… next thing I know, I’m in prison. Now… I’m bald.”

Captured Wanted Robber: “Sob I ran into Officer Jian during a robbery… I only meant to take 1 million! But he just gave me 50 million and told me to scram! I didn’t get it then, but later I found out 1 million only gets you ten years… He… he was trying to get me locked up for life!”

After Jian Ruochen left the Jiang family, everyone from the original story who had hurt him was filled with regret.

Facing the media:

Father: “He has always been my pride. I’m willing to give him my entire inheritance!”

Jian Ruochen: “That pocket change? No thanks, I’ll pass.”

Universally Beloved Fake Young Master: “Brother, I know you’re a good person. Please, save me!”

Jian Ruochen: “But you’re not. You’re going to prison.”

The ex-fiancé knelt wretchedly before him, begging, “Can’t you forgive me just once? Please? It was always you I loved!”

Jian Ruochen: “Regret it now, huh? Then listen closely—”

“The Jiang family: Tax evasion, endangering public safety, organized robbery. Sentence: Death.”

“Jiang family’s Little Young Master, as for you… Theft. Sentence: Ten years plus.”

“And Ex-fiancé, wow, you really take the cake. Linked to you: one organ trafficking outfit, one illegal biopharma lab, eight shady KTVs, twelve bathhouses involved in illicit activities, plus tax evasion, smuggling artifacts… the list goes on…”

Jian Ruochen smiled, “Your prize: one steel peanut.”

Meanwhile…

Guan Yingjun—Senior Inspector of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, a man whose name alone struck fear into criminals—lightly kissed Jian Ruochen’s fingertips. “We’re short an expert in criminal psychology. How about you don’t go work for Chief Le, okay?”
