21: Do you think you are a pen holder?

But once certain thoughts arise, they grow like weeds, impossible to cut down.

The key was that the shock Lu Ming delivered by catching three moles in one day was simply too great for him.

But the problem was… Lu Ming was the one who caught the undercover agent.

The list was also pried from Zhang Tao’s mouth by Lu Ming.

And the mission was something he had snatched from their hands.

Now, he hadn’t gotten any credit, had stirred up a mess, and still wanted to shamelessly go to the victim to resolve it?

Even with Lin Qiming’s thick skin, his face was burning at this moment.

But it concerned his future, so he had no choice but to humble himself and do it.

Damn it, it’s just my face, I don’t need it anymore!

Lin Qiming, like an incompetent husband, closed his eyes in pain and dialed Lu Ming’s number.

“Is this Lu Ming? I’m…”

“300 contribution points. Finding is included, killing is not. Killing requires an additional fee.”

Lu Ming seemed to have anticipated this, opening his mouth with an exorbitant demand.

Lin Qiming’s fingers tightened abruptly on the phone, his knuckles turning white, and the receiver almost shattered.

300 contribution points?

He almost thought he had misheard.

This bastard was taking advantage of the situation!

“Lu Ming, don’t go too far!”

Lin Qiming’s voice was squeezed out through gritted teeth, carrying an uncontrollable rage, “This is a major matter concerning the safety of the Outer City, and you’re talking about contribution points with me?”

Lu Ming’s lighthearted laughter came from the other end of the receiver, with a hint of nonchalance: “Lord Lin, safety is safety, but my time is also very precious. I’m still on vacation these past few days, so if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

“You…”

Lin Qiming was so angry that his temples throbbed.

But to save his position, the curses on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.

It was just 300 contribution points; he could still afford it.

“300 it is, but hurry up!”

“Sorry, 300 was the previous price, now it’s 400!”

“Damn it!”

As angry as Lin Qiming was, the more Lu Ming demanded, the more he was convinced that this guy really had a way to pull Yang Danhong out of the crowd.

For his future, he had to endure this exorbitant demand no matter what.

“Alright, I’m at West City House No. 30 now, hurry up!”

“Beep… beep… beep…”

…At this moment, Lu Ming had just hung up the phone, and the three women in the room all looked over.

Lu Ming stretched, a glint of cunning in his eyes: “A big sucker delivered right to my door.”

Zhao Li raised an eyebrow at his words: “Lin Qiming?”

“Mm.” Lu Ming took the water cup, took a sip, “He couldn’t hold out any longer.”

Zhao Li’s gaze deepened: “Are you confident?”

“It’s fine, I’m just going to try my luck.” Lu Ming stretched, “Sister Li, I’m going out for a bit, I’ll have to trouble you to look after Youyou and Lulu.”

“Oh? Then you go, I’ve got this.” Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, then tightened her small face and nodded coolly.

Xu Youyou and her sister were a bit worried: “Won’t it be too dangerous? Yang Danhong is, after all, a mid-stage Kaiyuan Realm cultivator…”

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Ming pinched their cheeks, his tone relaxed, “I’m only responsible for finding; whether to kill or not depends on whether Lord Lin is willing to pay extra.”

His calm tone made it sound as if Yang Danhong, a fifth-stage Kaiyuan Realm cultivator, was nothing more than a common weed by the roadside, easily pulled out.

Zhao Li stared at his face in a daze, but a monstrous wave surged in her heart.

Had he grown stronger again?

Is this what a genius is like?

She smiled bitterly, shaking her head. Once upon a time, she too was called a genius by others.

Unfortunately, her foundation was inexplicably damaged, and her once enviable top-tier talent became a mere trifle.

Now, she had finally broken through to the Kaiyuan Realm, but it seemed she was still far from catching up to Lu Ming… West City.

Just as Xu Lulu said, this place was almost becoming a living hell.

The rascals from the Myriad Gods Sect simply didn’t care about the deaths of ordinary people.

Collapsed houses were everywhere, and the bloodstains on the streets hadn’t even been cleaned up yet.

Lu Ming, dressed in a black uniform, walked down the street, occasionally being pointed at by passersby.

Their eyes were filled with disdain, almost to the point of spitting and calling him a “useless” person.

Lu Ming’s mouth twitched.

This clown, Lin Qiming, handled things too sloppily.

And he wanted to snatch credit with this? He must be a joke, he’d completely shamed the Law Enforcement Team.

At West City House No. 8, as soon as Lu Ming approached, he heard Lin Qiming’s exasperated voice.

“Yang Danhong, I’ll f*ck you!”

“As expected of a rat from the sewers, you can really hide.”

“If I let you, this beast, escape today, I’ll take your surname!”

…“Team Leader Lu!”

The Inspection Team members on perimeter guard immediately recognized Lu Ming and quickly put away their weapons.

Now, who in the Inspection Team didn’t know of Lu Ming, this formidable figure?

Zhang Tao had only spoken a few words and was already trampled under his feet.

Now, their superior had no choice but to humble himself and invite this formidable figure to save the day.

They couldn’t afford to provoke him, absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke him.

Lu Ming nodded slightly and pushed the door open.

The anger on Lin Qiming’s face instantly turned into fawning: “Brother Lu has finally arrived! Look at this…”

Lu Ming’s lips curved into a playful smile. This old fox truly knew how to adapt.

Just a few days ago, he had told him to behave himself, and now he was calling him ‘Brother’.

“Stop, pay half first.” Lu Ming interrupted his enthusiasm, his palm open.

Lin Qiming gritted his teeth, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and transferred 200 contribution points to Lu Ming’s account.

“You’re taking half before the job is even done, you really are something! I hope you’re not messing with me!”

Lu Ming watched the flickering numbers in his account, then slowly turned to survey the dozen or so suspects surrounded.

“Lord Lin has been cursing for a long time, and Yang Danhong still hasn’t jumped out to fight you?”

The flesh on Lin Qiming’s face twitched, and the anger he had just suppressed flared up again: “Brother Lu, please don’t tease me. It’s been three days, and the Inspection Team has lost eight or nine brothers, without even a shadow of him.”

He said, pointing to the dozen people, “This Yang Danhong’s talent allows him to transform into anyone he has touched, even mimicking their aura.”

Lu Ming didn’t speak, slowly pacing among the suspects.

One moment he teased the baby in the woman’s arms, the next he patted the dark, burly man’s chest muscles.

It was completely unclear what he was doing.

“Could it be that this guy is here to make a fool of me?”

Lin Qiming’s face gradually darkened.

Looking at Lu Ming’s back, a hint of disdain flashed in Fang Hengwen’s eyes, “My Lord, he’s playing you!”

The muscles around Lin Qiming’s eyes twitched. Fang Hengwen’s words hit him right where it hurt.

He stared intently at Lu Ming’s back.

Watching the guy squeeze the muscles on the burly man’s arm and even laughingly say, “Well-trained,” made him so angry he almost ground his molars to dust.

“Wait three more minutes.” Lin Qiming squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, his knuckles white from clenching.

He wanted to see if this Lu Ming truly had the ability or was just trying to mock him.

A trace of disdain flashed in Fang Hengwen’s eyes, his contempt almost overflowing: “Heh, just putting on an act.”

The voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

Lu Ming suddenly stopped, his calm gaze making Fang Hengwen feel a little uneasy.

“How should I address this brother?”

Fang Hengwen instinctively extended his hand, “Fang Hengwen!”

Lu Ming’s lips gradually spread into a wide, brilliant smile.

“Oh, Yang Danhong, is that right?”

“Who the hell do you think you are, a pen holder? So good at pretending!”

“Lin Qiming doesn’t even dare to say anything, and you’re the one jumping out and shouting?”

…
