"What are you looking at? Didn't you see the light was still red? Rushing to be reincarnated!"
The car door opened, and out stepped a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing large frog-like sunglasses and a gleaming Vacheron Constantin on his wrist.
He was a big guy, about six feet tall, and looked quite intimidating.
"How can he talk like that!"
"Exactly, you almost hit someone, you know?"
"Just because you have money doesn't mean you can do anything!"
"You ran a yellow light, you know that?"
"Tch! What does this have to do with money? Why can't I go on a yellow light? It wasn't red yet, so I can go!" The young man walked forward, cursing, his imposing manner causing the onlookers to step back.
Revealing the trembling old woman on the roadside, who could barely stand, and Lu Zheng, who was supporting her.
The old woman was terrified, shivering and unable to speak, but she held onto Lu Zheng's hand tightly.
"It's alright now, don't be afraid," Lu Zheng comforted her.
"Thank you, thank you," the old woman said repeatedly, perhaps only now realizing the danger and feeling lingering fear, tears immediately streaming down her face. "If something had happened, I would never be able to face them, even if I died!"
"It was lucky this time, but please be careful in the future. Wait for the green light on your side before crossing, don't rush, and always look both ways. Safety first, those few seconds won't make a difference. "
"Yes, yes, yes! I won't dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again!" Lessons learned at the cost of one's life are always profound.
To be honest, the old woman did bear some responsibility for the accident, as the pedestrian light on the crosswalk was not yet green.
However...
"Yellow light means slow down and stop, especially in front of a crosswalk. You must pay attention to pedestrians on both sides. How did you even get your driver's license?"
Lu Zheng turned to face the young man, his face expressionless.
"What do you care how I got my license? I didn't run a red light, but that old hag wanted to die and jump in front of the car. What's her game? Is she trying to scam me out of a million to subsidize her family?"
"You! You!"
The old woman was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Wah!"
The two- or three-year-old child in the stroller immediately burst into tears.
"Cry your ass off! Your grandma almost killed you, you know that?"
Killing with words! "That's enough! You almost killed someone, aren't you even a little remorseful? Instead, you're making it worse?"
"Oh ho, you know how to use idioms, huh? Some ancient hero!" The young man sneered, then threw a punch at Lu Zheng's face. "I didn't run a red light and didn't break the law, so what business is it of yours?"
"Ah!"
"Lu Zheng, be careful!"
"Stop!"
Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he reached out and grabbed the young man's fist.
Before the young man could react, Lu Zheng moved forward, clamping his arm and twisting it to the side, bending the elbow in the opposite direction.
Then, with a twist of his body and a fierce grip, he shouted, "Damn! It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go! It's breaking, it's breaking!"
The young man knelt in front of the old woman, his face red and his forehead sweating.
He felt that his right elbow and shoulder were bent to their limits, and any further movement would cause them to break.
"Apologize!"
"I'll be damned!"
"Apologize!"
"Crack! Crack!"
Lu Zheng applied a little more force, and two soft sounds came from the young man's body.
"Damn! I was wrong, I was wrong. Old lady, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again!"
Lu Zheng snorted, and loosened his grip, allowing the young man to stand up. He looked up at Lu Zheng, then quickly took two steps back.
"You f***ing..."
"Police!"
With a crisp shout, the healthy beauty stepped in front of the young man and pulled out her police ID from her bag.
"I!" The young man paused, swallowed, but quickly reacted, "So what if you're a cop? I didn't break the law, and I didn't hit anyone. You're all in on this together!"
"The speed limit on the city's main roads is 60 kilometers per hour. You were trying to beat the yellow light, and your instantaneous speed definitely exceeded one hundred kilometers," the healthy beauty said coldly.
"I... you're not a traffic cop!"
"I'm a criminal investigator. You almost hit someone just now, and you're also suspected of fighting. I have the right to take you back to the station for questioning."
"I... f***!"
The young man nodded, didn't dare to say anything harsh to the healthy beauty, just took a step back, pointed at Lu Zheng, made a contemptuous expression, and then turned to leave.
He wasn't stupid, he knew the policewoman wasn't taking him away because the young man in front of him had also laid a hand on him.
"Wooo!"
The Ferrari started, roared, and drove away.
"Lu Zheng, you're awesome! When did you become so powerful? I never saw that in school?"
After crossing the road, Tong Muxuan looked at Lu Zheng with a surprised expression.
Su Mengmeng's face was full of surprise, her eyes shining, and Luo Yun also had an incredulous expression, with a faint hint of regret in her heart.
Who wouldn't want a boyfriend with MAX boyfriend power? "There weren't any rich second-generation idiots like that in school," Lu Zheng shrugged in response.
"Actually, he was venting," said another policewoman who had just arrived. "Actually, he was also scared, but his way of venting his fear was to throw a tantrum and cover up his fear."
"Uh... what a weirdo."
"We've seen even weirder," the ordinary beauty held out her hand. "Let me introduce myself, Huang Xiumin, criminal investigator from the Municipal Bureau."
"Hello, my name is Lu Zheng." Lu Zheng shook hands with Huang Xiumin.
"How does it feel?" Huang Xiumin suddenly asked with a mischievous smile.
"What wha..." Lu Zheng said halfway, then suddenly stopped.
"Lin Wan."
That was the name of the long-legged beauty, and it also interrupted Lu Zheng's answer.
Lin Wan glared at Huang Xiumin, who giggled and turned to Lu Zheng.
"You run really fast, are you a sprinter?" Huang Xiumin asked, then quickly shook her head. "No, sprinters don't have your kind of skill. You're a Sanda practitioner, but you run too fast."
"Guess?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, not confirming.
"Lu Zheng is a programmer!" Tong Muxuan decisively betrayed his brother. "I never saw him practice running or Sanda in four years of college!"
"Lao Tong, you're going to lose me by doing this!"
"They're cops! You dare to lie?"
Lu Zheng: (||_). Huang Xiumin giggled and said, "Let's add each other on WeChat, maybe I can give you a certificate of bravery."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow. "What's the use?"
"Honor!" Lin Wan said.
Lu Zheng nodded. "Good stuff, that thing is priceless!"
Then they added each other as friends. Thanks to Lu Zheng, Huang Xiumin and Lin Wan also agreed to hang out with Su Mengmeng and the others when they had time.
"It's already past five o'clock, let's all have dinner together," Su Mengmeng suggested.
Having just experienced a storm, the group had established a preliminary friendship. After comforting the old lady and sending her away, they returned to Fulong Plaza on the other side of the street.
They went to Lao Qing Yu Hotpot, ate and chatted, and had a lively meal until eight o'clock before coming out and saying goodbye to each other.
Are modern dramas so heavily criticized? Or is this particular part too melodramatic? But in reality, this plot point was inspired by the author's own feelings. These kinds of things happen too often, except the car involved in the accident isn't a luxury car...
Oh well, I'll try to write more about ancient times. However, the modern scenes in the next few dozen chapters of my drafts are interconnected and have too much of an impact, so I really can't change them. But they shouldn't be this melodramatic... right?
I'm listening to advice. If I can't come up with exciting modern scenes in the future, I'll try to reduce them as much as possible... That's all.
