Showing His Skills

"How do you drive? Didn't you see the light hadn't turned green yet? In such a rush to reincarnate?"

The car door opened, and a young man who looked to be in his twenties stepped out. He wore huge frog-like sunglasses, and the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist gleamed brilliantly.

He was over six feet tall and looked rather intimidating.

"How can he talk like that?"

"Exactly! You almost hit someone, you know?"

"So what if you have money?"

"You ran a yellow light, you know?"

"Pah! What does this have to do with whether I have money? Why can't I go on a yellow light? As long as it hasn't turned red, I can go!" The young man strode forward, cursing under his breath, his aggressive bearing making the onlookers around him instinctively retreat several steps.

This also revealed the old woman by the roadside, trembling so badly she could barely stand, and Lu Zheng supporting her.

The old woman was badly frightened. She trembled too hard to speak, merely gripping Lu Zheng's hand and refusing to let go.

"It's all right now. Don't be afraid," Lu Zheng comforted her.

"Thank you, thank you." The old woman spoke repeatedly. Perhaps she had only just come back to herself and realized the terror of it all; tears immediately streamed down her face. "If something had happened, even if I died, I wouldn't be able to face them!"

"This time, you were fortunate. Be careful from now on. Wait until your own light turns green before crossing. Don't rush, and look both ways before crossing the road. Safety comes first. You're not short on these few seconds."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll never dare again! I'll never dare again!" Lessons learned at the cost of one's life were always deeply engraved.

To be honest, the old woman did bear some responsibility for this incident. After all, the pedestrian signal at the crosswalk had not yet turned green.

However...

"When the green light turns yellow, you slow down and stop. What's more, this was right before a crosswalk. You have to watch for pedestrians on both sides. How did you even get your driver's license?"

Lu Zheng turned toward the young man and spoke expressionlessly.

"What business is it of yours how I got my license? I didn't run a red light. That old hag should jump off a building if she wants to die. What's she trying to do, set me up? What, planning to extort a million from me to support her family?"

"You! You!"

The old woman was so furious she could not speak.

"Waaah!"

The two- or three-year-old child in the stroller immediately burst into tears.

"Cry my ass! Your grandma nearly got you killed, you know?"

That was a blade twisted in the heart! "Enough! You nearly killed someone, and you're not even scared afterward? You're actually getting worse?"

"Oh-ho, you know how to use idioms? Some ancient swordsman, are you?" The young man sneered, then threw a punch straight at Lu Zheng's face. "I didn't run a red light or break the law. What the fuck are you meddling for?"

"Ah!"

"Lu Zheng, watch out!"

"Stop!"

Lu Zheng's gaze sharpened, and he reached out to catch the man's fist.

Before the other man could react, Lu Zheng followed through, extending forward and clamping arm and palm together, wrenching the man's arm aside and locking his elbow in reverse.

Then he spun, twisted his hand backward—"Fuck! It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go! It's breaking, it's breaking!"

The young man dropped directly to one knee before the old woman, his face bright red and sweat beading on his forehead.

He could only feel that his right elbow and shoulder had been twisted to their limits. If he moved even a little more, they would snap immediately.

"Apologize!"

"I fucking—"

"Apologize!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Lu Zheng applied a little force, and two soft cracking sounds came from the young man's body.

"Fuck! I was wrong, I was wrong! Old lady, I'm sorry! I'll never dare do it again!"

Lu Zheng snorted and loosened his grip. Only then could the young man stand up. He glanced at Lu Zheng, then hurriedly backed away two steps.

"You fucking..."

"Police!"

With a sharp cry, the fit beauty stepped in front of the young man and pulled out her police ID from her bag.

"I..." The young man froze and swallowed, but quickly came to his senses. "So what if you're police? I didn't break the law, and I didn't hit anyone. You're all in this together, aren't you?"

"The speed limit on urban arterial roads is sixty kilometers per hour. Just now, to beat the yellow light, your instantaneous speed definitely exceeded one hundred kilometers per hour," the fit beauty said coldly.

"I... You're not even traffic police!"

"I'm criminal police. You nearly hit someone just now, and afterward you were involved in assault and battery. I have the authority to take you back to the station for questioning."

"I... Fuck!"

The young man nodded. He did not continue threatening the fit beauty. He merely took a step back, pointed at Lu Zheng, made a contemptuous gesture, then turned and left.

He was not stupid. He knew the reason the policewoman was not taking him away was that the young man opposite him had also made a move.

"Vroom!"

The Ferrari started, roared, and sped away.

"Lu Zheng, you're fucking amazing. Since when were you this good? How come we never noticed at school?"

After they crossed the street, Tong Muxuan stared at Lu Zheng as though he did not know him.

Su Mengmeng's face was full of surprise, her eyes shining. Luo Yun also looked incredulous, with a faint sense of regret in her heart.

Who wouldn't want a boyfriend with MAX boyfriend energy? "There weren't any brain-dead rich second-generation kids like that at school." Lu Zheng shrugged.

"Actually, he was venting." Another policewoman who had just arrived said, "He was scared too. It's just that his way of venting that fear was to lose his temper and cover up his fear."

"Uh... What a weirdo."

"We've seen even weirder." The ordinary-looking beauty extended her hand. "Nice to meet you. Huang Xiumin, criminal police from the City Bureau."

"Hello, I'm Lu Zheng." Lu Zheng shook Huang Xiumin's hand.

"How did it feel?" Huang Xiumin suddenly asked with a mischievous smile.

"What do you mean, how—" Lu Zheng stopped halfway through his sentence.

"Lin Wan."

That was the name of the long-legged beauty, and it also cut off Lu Zheng's answer.

Lin Wan glared at Huang Xiumin. Huang Xiumin giggled and turned back to Lu Zheng.

"You ran really fast. Do you train in sprinting?" Huang Xiumin asked, then quickly shook her head. "No, that's not right. Sprinters don't have your kind of moves. You practice Sanda, but you run ridiculously fast."

"You tell me." Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and did not confirm it.

"Lu Zheng is a programmer!" Tong Muxuan decisively sold out his brother. "In four years of college, I never saw him train in running or Sanda!"

"Lao Tong, you're going to lose me by doing this!"

"She's police! Do you dare lie?"

Lu Zheng: (||_)

Huang Xiumin giggled. "Add me on WeChat. Maybe I can even get you a certificate for acting bravely for a just cause."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow. "What's it good for?"

"Honor," Lin Wan said.

Lu Zheng nodded. "Good stuff. This thing is priceless!"

Then they added each other as contacts. Thanks to Lu Zheng, Huang Xiumin and Lin Wan even agreed to take Su Mengmeng and the others out sometime when they were free.

"It's already past five. Let's all have dinner together," Su Mengmeng suggested.

Having just gone through such an incident, they had more or less formed an initial friendship. After comforting the old woman and seeing her off, they returned to Fulong Plaza on the other side of the street.

They went to Lao Qingyu Hotpot, chatting as they ate. They did not come out until eight, then bid one another farewell and went their separate ways.

Are there really this many complaints in modern scenes? Or was this part just too melodramatic? But this plot was actually inspired by the author's own feelings. There were too many incidents like this; it was just that the offending vehicle usually was not a luxury car...

Forget it. I'll try to write more ancient settings, but the modern scenes in the dozens of chapters already saved up are linked one after another and have too much impact, so I really can't revise them. Still, they probably won't be this melodramatic anymore... right?

I'll take the advice. If I can't come up with exciting modern scenes later, I'll try to reduce them... That's all.
