The audience members were shocked
The people watching were shocked
The broadcasting team was shocked.... and overworked
"What's the meaning of this" the main vocalist said
"I repeat, you have been charged with the crime of gambling, sex trafficking and slander" the detective repeated
Tsk you think I didn't hear you the first time, I meant why are you arresting me!
"Why are we getting arrested. I thought you came for Minsoo" the rapper said glaring at the detective
"You are being arrested for sexual assault. As for anyone else, you are the only criminals I see here today" the detective snorted
"You must be working with Minsoo right, how much did he pay you" the dancer said
Tsk even when arrogant criminals are caught, they never truly believe that they are caught
"Please refrain from adding slander of an official to your list of crimes" the detective said
"What is going on here" their manager also came on stage
He appeared confused and frantic because unlike the other three; he had reached the age that came with being sly
He already reasoned that the police wouldn't cause such a huge commotion unless they knew something
I mean if it backfires then it would cause public outrage and if it succeeds then it would boost their image
It was a huge bet on both sides with success causing a major boost in publicity for both sides
"Boys arrest him too" the detective motioned to the other police officers standing guard on stage
"Who do you think you are to arrest us?" The manager felt the situation was dire and responded loudly
"I'm the head of the Investigation bureau and who you are doesn't matter before the law" the detective sneered
"Do you think a mere investigation bureau has the authority to detain us" the manager said
"Oh, care to tell me why I can't arrest you" the detective said trying to coerce him for some more information
"Do you know who we work for; Sun entertainment" the manager said proudly
"I thought you were the president of something, a mere entertainment company dares to stand in my way" the detective said arrogantly
"Boys take them away" he said waving his hands while smiling at the manager in contempt
In his mind he was thinking that this bastards should speak some more
Let's get a detailed confession out of him
"Stop you bastards, don't you know the Sun entertainment"
"It's the entertainment run by the Han family"
"The Han family, do you know who that is"
"Hey unhand me you bastards" the manager said furiously
"Stop" the detective said, heh got you
"Do you expect me to believe the Han family has something to do with the likes of you" the detective snorted
"At least I'm better than a dog of the government" the manager spat
"Insult me all you want but I still don't have any proof of your baseless words" the detective rolled his eyes at being called a dog
Tsk, when I was still bullied as a fresh recruit, I had heard worse insults
Right now, I'm Buddha to all type of insults. It's better to settle the account twice as much than replying
"I have text messages on my phone containing our conversations"
As expected of a long time criminal, he was a shrewd person that recorded conversation with bosses to backstab them later.
"So you're saying that the Han family were in support of you"
"Yes"
"They were even in support of all your actions"
"So are you scared now" the manager stared down at the detective
Just you wait, once this whole farce is over I'll make you kneel to me begging for forgiveness
I am not someone that a mere police officer can disrespect
I am a loyal worker of the Han family so there's nothing a mere commoner can do to me
"I need to clarify once again that the Han family has knowledge every single of your activities and supported you" the detective repeated
He needed to get him to admit it as clear as possible so that there would be no loophole to exploit
The manager took it as him being in disbelief and thought he was getting scared
"That's completely right. Now release me and beg for forgiveness then I might let you go" the manager puffed up his chest and said
"I see. But I don't care though" the detective said snapping his fingers for them to take the criminals away
"But that's the Han family, do you have any idea of who you might have offended" the manager said in disbelief
"What do you mean by offending, I'm merely carrying out justice"
"If anyone is to suffer retaliation then it should be the law not me" the detective replied non chalantly
Joke, do you really think the Han family would dare to save you now.
Oh please, I'm sure they are already cutting you off as dead weight
Infact, I'd be surprised if you made it to the court alive
And they can't retaliate against me because I'm such a huge public figure
Not to mention that after making such a big fuss this time, they wouldn't dare to act against me at this moment
The manager wanted to spit blood out of anger
What was the point of making him reveal his background if you were not going to care anyway
"Evidence, you don't have any evidence" the main vocalist said
"Yeah, the law stipulates that you can't detain us without evidence" the manager said emphasizing the 'law'
"Well you guys are right but..."the detective said
"Then I want you arrested for unlawful detention" the manager interrupted glaring at the detective
"The law stipulates that detention of suspected criminals can be allowed due to necessity"
"And for the sake of preventing an innocent person from being detained. It was a necessity to arrest you" the detective stated calmly
"Besides I never said I didn't have evidence" the detective added smirking
"Impossible " the manager said obviously not believing him
That's the thing with people who continually get away with something
They get arrogant and complacent with a mysterious confidence in themselves
They believe that it is impossible to be caught and when they do get caught
They don't feel guilty but confused that someone actually discovered their crimes.
"Hmm, what do you mean it's impossible to find evidence"
"Are you insinuating that you knew something about this"
"Or perhaps did you actually commit the crime with the confidence of never getting caught"
"And most importantly, you're act of demanding evidence after threatening me should insinuate that you already knew of the crimes"
"Because since the moment the arrest was done; I haven't heard a single claim of innocence" the detective hit them hard with his words
They couldn't find any way to refute his words because they truly were not innocent
They had gotten so used to doing those bad things that they never once thought of claiming innocence.
"Any questions" the detective said gazing at them
"I want to see the evidence. Who knows whether you would torture us at the bureau to get confessions" the manager said after thinking desperately for a way out
"Are you completely sure you want to see the evidence" the detective raised an eyebrow
I thought he had at least a little bit of sense but now I can see he was always stupid
"Just show it if you actually have it, unless it isn't true and you have nothing" the manager took his words for hesitation
I tried to help you but if you desperately want to go to jail then who am I to refuse
The huge screen in the middle changed to the video evidence from the live stream
The audience members were just watching the show on stage with confusion.
It turns out that they were wrong and it was the other two who were the culprits
Then the manager came along and shocked them some more with the gist about the Sun entertainment being run by the Han family
They were just silently watching the arrest when they heard that the evidence was going to be shown
Now they are looking at the screen in anger because of all the bad things the four had been doing
Especially the female trafficking and the assault
"So was the evidence clear enough for you" the detective smiled at the pale manager, vocalist, dancer and rapper
After seeing the video, they knew that their career was over. Heck their life was probably over too
"Damn send these bastards to jail"
"It was definitely clear enough for me"
"Guilty!"
Like that the audience started shouting guilty at the same time
"Don't worry everyone these criminals won't escape justice" the detective used a microphone to say to the audience
"But we have one more thing to do" the detective said
Eh, what else could be left
We already caught the bad guy and revealed his true colors so what else could there possiblyl be
"On behalf of all the victims that you saved, they said I should thank you" the detective said while bowing to Minsoo
The audience remembered the reason why they had come to the concert in the first place
It seems we had come to watch them arrest Minsoo
But they arrested the other three idols that we were feeling sorry and stood up for
Ah.....it seems we got slapped in the face
Not only was Minsoo innocent but he had even been trying to save people
So the audience and netizens were too embarrassed to speak at first
"Minsoo thank you" Minmin No 1 fan that was in the seats infront of the stage said bowing
"Minsoo thank you" Jumin Lee said while bowing to his brother
Like that the live stream netizens said bowing followed by the audience
Even the netizens watching sent thank you messages
Minsoo watched the crowd thank him and a weight was lifted off his shoulder
He thought that today was going to be the end of him
But instead it was the day his name was cleared
"Minsoo!" The live stream netizens started to cheer
The audience members started to cheer
The netizens were cheering from home
Minsoo collapsed on his knees on the stage with tears streaming down his eyes as the crowd screamed his name
He did it
He finally did it
No more insults, bullying or being scorned
He was free.....finally free
And the people like him
They actually like Minsoo Lee
They actually like.... me
Minsoo on his knees with his head bowed sobbed out all his depression.
He can finally say to himself
The world loves you
.....You succeeded.
