350: Chapter 350 Familiar Place

Li Tao's gaze then fell upon Lin Ming.

He immediately recalled what Ren Huai had told them a few days ago.

Could the young man mentioned then be this Lin Ming standing before him?

For a moment, he hesitated.

After all, he was well aware of Young Master Liu's way of doing things.

There had been instances where someone offended Young Master Liu and, despite their background being weaker than the Liu Family, managed to escape unscathed temporarily.

That person had also relied on the Wei Family's influence to temporarily evade Liu Han's retaliation.

Just like Lin Ming.

But the very next day, after that person left Dongchao City, they were intercepted and killed.

Anyone with eyes could see that this was Liu Han's revenge.

Unless your strength, status, or position surpassed the Liu Family, if you offended Young Master Liu, he would surely try every possible means to see you dead.

This was basically common knowledge in Dongchao City.

However, this person's identity remained a mystery.

Especially since Wei Zhaoxue, the Eldest Young Miss of the Wei Family and a Disciple of a True Lord from the Canghai Sword Pavilion, had intervened.

She had stood up for that man.

Perhaps that man really wasn't simple.

And was the man before him that same person?

If he truly was...

Then Li Tao had to reconsider.

Lest he bring trouble upon himself.

But if he dared to refuse, he would likewise offend Shen Ze.

If Shen Ze whispered in Liu Han's ear, losing his job would be the least of his worries.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Tao made his decision.

"Stealing? Then come with us."

Wang Er spoke up directly.

Unlike Li Tao, he didn't think that much.

This was an opportunity to curry favor with the Liu Family, and he didn't want to miss it.

Although that Young Master Liu was indeed petty, the members of the Liu Family within the City Patrol Bureau were quite generous.

Especially when doing work for the Liu Family.

Whether it was for Liu Han or anyone else in the Liu Family.

As long as the job was done and done well, there were rewards. For instance, their captain had completed a task for the Liu Family and was rewarded with a Medicinal Pill, allowing him to successfully Breakthrough to the Spirit Treasury Realm and become a fifth-realm cultivator.

If he could show his face this time, he might also receive some rewards.

The opponent's background?

What kind of background could someone targeted by Young Master Liu possibly have?

One step too late.

Seeing Wang Er acting this way, Li Tao felt a surge of annoyance.

He had overthought it, which led to this.

"Indeed, stealing is a heinous act, and we must certainly deal with it,"

Li Tao said with righteous indignation.

"Come with us."

Wang Er said.

Lin Ming could see that these people were clearly biased toward Shen Ze, just like the guards from that other day.

It seemed the Liu Family's influence in Dongchao City was quite substantial.

Lin Ming said nothing and obediently followed them to the City Patrol Bureau and into its prison.

However, as they were heading to the City Patrol Bureau prison, they happened to be spotted by someone from the Wei Family.

It was one of the people who had been following behind Wei Zhaoxue that day.

When he saw this scene, he froze for a moment, then immediately dropped his tasks and hurried back to the Wei Family.

The Wei Family.

The Martial Arts Arena.

Wei Zhaokun's figure fell from the Martial Arts Arena and crashed onto the ground.

"Second Brother, you're not up to it either,"

Wei Zhaoyue remarked mercilessly upon seeing this.

"If you're so capable, you go up."

Wei Zhaokun looked at Wei Zhaoyue somewhat disheveled and said.

Fight?

How could he fight?

Eldest Sister was a Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator.

While he and Wei Zhaoyue were both Spirit Platform Realm cultivators. Forget him alone—

even if the two of them went up together, they would just be asking for a beating against Wei Zhaoxue.

"This is Eldest Sister's test for you,"

Wei Zhaoyue said with a serious face.

She certainly didn't want to go up and get beaten by her sister.

"Eldest Young Miss, Second Young Master, Third Young Miss."

At that moment, the man rushed back to the Wei Family and reached the Martial Arts Arena.

"Speak."

Wei Zhaoxue looked at the man with a calm expression and said.

"Eldest Young Miss, the man you saved the other day has been taken away again by the Liu Family and the City Patrol Bureau."

The man reported.

"Liu Han is truly seeking death."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhaoyue couldn't help but give Liu Han a mental thumbs up.

Wasn't Liu Han just looking for death?

Had this guy not checked Lin Ming's identity? He actually dared to trouble him again.

Now, there would be a good show to watch.

Hearing this, Wei Zhaoxue stepped down from the Martial Arts Arena and walked toward the exit.

"Sister, are you going to the Martial Arts Arena?"

Wei Zhaoyue immediately asked upon seeing this.

Wei Zhaoxue didn't answer, but Wei Zhaoyue could already tell that her eldest sister was likely heading to the City Patrol Bureau.

"Wait for me."

Wei Zhaoyue also quickened her pace to catch up with Wei Zhaoxue.

She didn't want to miss this good show either.

If the Liu Family members found out that the person they offended was from Yuanxu Mountain and a Disciple of the Nirvana Ancestor, it would surely be very interesting.

Wei Zhaoyue was already eager to see their expressions once they found out.

As for Wei Zhaokun, he did not follow them.

Regarding this matter, his perspective was not limited to just this.

...

City Patrol Bureau

Lin Ming was first locked in a solitary room.

This could be considered Lin Ming's second time behind bars; the last time was back in Tianyuan City.

The familiar feeling had returned.

And the prison in Dongchao City was clearly better than the one in Tianyuan City.

If he had the chance to go to Tianyuan City again, he could suggest they send people here to learn and improve.

Shen Ze, the guards, and the others arrived at an office.

The ranks in the City Patrol Bureau consisted of the Bureau Chief, two Deputy Bureau Chiefs, the Grand Captain, various squad captains, and the City Guards.

The Liu Family controlled one of the Deputy Bureau Chief positions within the City Patrol Bureau.

Shen Ze and the others were going to see this Deputy Bureau Chief. After all, if they wanted to use torture in the City Patrol Bureau, they couldn't do it arbitrarily; they needed authorization.

With this Deputy Bureau Chief's approval, Lin Ming's life and death would be in their hands.

"Since he's someone who offended my nephew, do as you see fit,"

Uncle Quan leaned back in his chair, rotating three metal spheres in his hand, speaking with total indifference.

He was long accustomed to such things.

Or rather, the Liu Family was used to it; it was impossible for the Liu Family not to know what Liu Han was doing.

The Liu Family even maintained a somewhat supportive attitude toward it.

This was because the Liu Family wanted most people in Dongchao City to know that their family was not to be trifled with.

Liu Han was that spokesperson.

They used Liu Han's image to solidify the Liu Family's reputation.

"Yes."

Shen Ze then led the men back to the prison.

"Kid, for stealing my things, I hope you can still keep that expression later."

Shen Ze looked at Lin Ming with an ill-intentioned gaze.

Lin Ming's calm demeanor made him very unhappy.

From beginning to end, Lin Ming had looked like this. He wanted to see if Lin Ming could still smile in a moment.
