Chapter 231: Lu Ming Is Arrested
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Qing Ming City.
It was very late at night.
All the innocent victims had gone back.
Jiang Feng denied the accusation of the six-star policeman. Lu Ming only sneered at this. Sure enough, this old, shameless man was very scheming...
innocent Card Creator...
How could he bring himself to say such things?
Where was his shame?
Clearly, this was my line from my script!
“It’s a pity. You have not attained a breakthrough to four-star.”
Jiang Feng had some slight regrets.
The operation this time was to help Lu Ming breakthrough to four-star. In the end, the bed spirit appeared and the outcome was very strange...
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Ming looked at the ‘permed’ Original Card, feeling very satisfied.
Something like a breakthrough... There was no hurry.
After the Original Card was tempered, its prowess had increased tremendously. This was an actual improvement!
Of course.
Most importantly...
It could fly now!
Bam!
Lu Ming stepped onto it.
He was suspended in the sky.
Super dashing!
Jiang Feng glanced at him. “It’s better that you don’t go back like that.”
“Why?”
Lu Ming found it odd.
“Forget it.”
Jiang Feng rubbed his head... “It’s up to you.
Four-star breakthrough...
I’m the one who promised you this.
I’ll help you find other ways when I return.”
Jiang Feng pondered deeply.
Although there was an accident this time and the ancient tomb had collapsed. The outcome was still fine.
After all, the legacy had been sold for ten million yuan and they had made lots of money...
“Okay.”
Lu Ming was controlling the Original Card, moving it up and down.
Oo...
It was a little difficult to do so.
“Rest early,” Jiang Feng smiled and said.
The duo left the place.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Stepping on the Original Card, Lu Ming flew all the way home. He was in a good mood. This was the most comfortable means of transportation, okay?! Card Kinesis Flight. It was super dashing!
And right then.
A passerby had just turned around the corner when he saw a figure passing by him. His expression froze instantly and he left calmly.
After a long while, trembling, he made a call.
“Hello? Is this the police?
A new spirit body may have appeared... Those that can float... It looks like a ghost.”
...
Ten minutes later.
A group of policemen appeared and detained Lu Ming, who was floating on the streets.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
“What do you mean?”
He pulled a long face when he looked at Zhang Wei.
Cough, cough.
Zhang Wei coughed. “We... We received calls from many residents that a spirit body has appeared in the city center... We didn’t expect...” Cough, cough.
Lu Ming turned sullen.
He finally knew what Jiang Feng’s last warning meant...
Damn!
Even floating home was against the law?
“Er...”
Zhang Wei took out the traffic manual and flipped to a particular page for Lu Ming to read. “Means of transportation that are not widely recognized by the public are forbidden in the city center...
For example, huge fearsome beasts, humans, illegally modified tools and so on.”
“Mine is not stated here.”
Lu Ming glanced at it.
“Yours...”
Zhang Wei pondered for a moment. “It’s a form of illegal modification of the Sword Embryo... or Original Card...”
Lu Ming looked sullen.
He had an urge to kill someone on the spot.
Cough, cough.
“Wait a minute. Let me check again.”
Zhang Wei searched again. “Oo... I found it. Yours is classified under ‘so on’.”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Alright.
Even ‘so on’ was out, what else could he do?!
He could not deny that the regulations of the organizations and institutions were really awesome... and comprehensive...
“Well... What the hell is this ‘human’ that you’re referring to?”
Lu Ming pointed at the word ‘human’ in-between ‘huge fearsome beast’ and ‘illegally modified tools’.
It was very obvious.
The word ‘human’ was added manually in writing later on...
“Two years ago, some heinous guys actually raised cultivators who specialized in speed and used them as means of transport...”
Speaking of this, Zhang Wei’s head hurt.
“Understood.”
Lu Ming understood.
Afterward...
He pointed to the streets far away. “They also did something against the law. Why aren’t you arresting them?!”
Zhang Wei glanced in that direction.
Over there...
A one-year-old girl was riding on the neck of a middle-aged man, happily looking at the night scenery of the city. When they walked past them, she even waved her little hands curiously.
“Y-ya...”
Her tiny hands were grabbing here and there. She was very adorable.
Zhang Wei broke out in a sweat. How could he arrest them?
“You guys are not being fair...”
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
“D-don’t.”
Zhang Wei was helpless. “Lu Ming, please understand.”
He felt very helpless too.
He had no other choice.
It was the middle of the night...
“On the one hand, the matter of the python spirit body has just ended. On the other hand, you’re floating here now...
People are extremely frantic!
In the Internet community, the thread about ‘A Mysterious Ghost Appearing In the Streets’ is an upcoming hot topic, okay?! Who would not be scared when they saw this in the middle of the night?!”
“Someone really reported this?”
Lu Ming was taken aback.
He alighted the Original Card.
“Many.”
Zhang Wei smiled bitterly. “Otherwise, why would we arrest you for no reason?”
“Er...”
Lu Ming scratched his head. “I thought that six-star policeman was deliberately targeting me...”
“Why should he target you?”
Zhang Wei felt even more puzzled.
“Because my sister beat him up before.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Zhang Wei was silent.
It seemed very logical.
However...
He took a closer look at Lu Ming. Why did he have a hunch that this chap was just being mischievous?
“I really can’t fly anymore?”
Lu Ming was full of regret.
“Yes.”
Zhang Wei sighed. “Especially in the middle of the night...”
“Alright.”
Lu Ming compromised.
There was no choice.
Hence...
Lu Ming, who had just learned Card Kinesis Flight, could only walk home with an aggrieved face. Cold winds were howling gently. Inexplicably, he felt sorrowful...
Zhang Wei had a dumbstruck expression.
Hello! Clearly, you’re the one who flouted the law!
Why did it seem as though they were the ones who forced innocent citizens into submission?
...
After a long while...
Lu Ming went back to the shop.
Xiaobai was sitting on the table and yawning. Xiao-Xiaobai was also lazily moving up and down, looking very sleepy.
“Master?”
Xiaobai opened her eyes drowsily.
“Why are you up again?”
Lu Ming’s heart ached a little.
“I heard that something happened to the school...”
Xiaobai was worried. “If there is any danger, I can go and help.”
“What’s on your mind?”
Lu Ming rubbed her little head. “With me and your dad around, no one can bully us! Especially your dad, he’s very bad...”
“Where’s my dad?”
Xiaobai looked behind Lu Ming.
She had not seen her father coming back.
“He’s gone back.”
Lu Ming waved his hands. “There isn’t much danger this time. Most likely he has gone to sleep...”
“Oh.”
Xiaobai felt more at ease then. Instantly, she felt very sleepy...
“Oo... Master.”
“Huh?”
“Someone came to collect the rent today... I went to the Real Estate Bureau to check the receipt and proofs, calculated the remaining lease and paid him half a year of rent...”
“You know how to do this?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
“I scored full marks in basic education...”
Xiaobai was in a daze.
“Alright.”
Lu Ming felt grateful.
This girl was really growing up nicely.
“The dinner is warm and inside...”
Xiaobai’s voice turned increasingly softer.
“Okay.”
“I’ve already boiled the water for bathing... You have that strange smell again... You have to bathe...”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai’s voice turned into soft sounds of breathing.
Fine.
She fell asleep again.
When Xiaobai was in a deeper slumber, Lu Ming then carried her to the bed.
This girl...
Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Afterward...
He smelled himself.
“There is no smell!”
“This is strange.”
Lu Ming was somewhat confused.
Why was it that Xiaobai could always smell things that he could not?
Oo...
Could it be that...
He was also those rare people who had a scent?!
Forget it.
Lu Ming stretched.
He bathed happily and then took his dinner before sleeping peacefully.
He had not slept for a few days.
As for the rest, he would think about it tomorrow!
...
At this very moment...
Jiang Feng had already returned home.
There was total darkness.
He found the lights but did not switch them on for a long time. He then saw a note on the door — As your property charges have been late for a long time, we have suspended your water and electricity supply temporarily. Please pay your property charges as soon as possible. Thank you.
Jiang Feng was silent...
Eh?
The property department was so bold. They actually dared to cut off his electricity!
He then remembered.
Oh.
The last time he paid property charges was five years ago...
It had been a long time, indeed.
Forget it.
Given his current ability, he could see clearly even without lights. Although it was a little dark...
He stretched.
Jiang Feng was prepared to rest. Over the past few days, he had been very high-strung and not been sleeping well. He walked to the bathroom instinctively...
Oh.
There was no water and electricity.
Forget it.
He would eat something.
He remembered that there was some food in the fridge...
Click!
He opened the fridge.
He then discovered that the things inside had gone bad due to the electricity cut.
Alright.
Old Jiang yawned. He simply went to sleep.
Fortunately, Xiaobai was not around. If that girl was at home alone, she would be too pitiful! From this perspective, it was the correct decision to put her up at Lu Ming’s place...
At the very least...
Lu Ming would take care of her daily needs.
Well...
He should sleep.
Jiang Feng fell asleep in a daze.
...
The night... was extremely dark.
