Chapter 48 - 48 37 Well Done

48: Chapter 37: Well Done 48: Chapter 37: Well Done “Name?” “Don’t you know it?” “Name!!” “Lu Ping’an.” “Gender?” “Male.” “Address?” “Your house…fine, don’t glare at me, let me think, Xiyang Road something…I can’t remember the house number, just fill it in yourself.” Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly, placing his hands, bound by the “silver bracelet”, on the table to make himself more comfortable. Captain Xia of the Bureau of Anomaly Management’s Special Service Team glared at him, gesturing for him to be more honest, then quickly wrote down his basic information. As for why she was the one interrogating Lu Ping’an? It’s because Lu Ping’an turned himself in to her. “…You said you’ve awakened a new ability, played with magic plant mutations to create a new 2-tier bomb, and were planning to sell it to Green New Company when it suddenly exploded?” “Yes, yes, that’s correct.” Lu Ping’an nodded vigorously, blinking his eyes, his face showing an innocent and naive expression. “So, this morning, several TV stations and newspapers received a videotape about the crimes of Mr. Deng and his Dragon Snake Gang subordinates. It had nothing to do with you?” At this point in time, the mainstream channels for promotion are still newspapers and TV stations, as there is no room for self-media like self-media people to survive. Lu Ping’an did not record any content related to abnormal abilities, but the mere fact of the “surrender” of the Dragon Snake Gang members has already excited the media into a frenzy. Those crimes committed outside the Secret Realm are enough to get the gangsters of the Dragon Snake Gang to spend their next life inside, or directly face the death-penalty. “Videotape? Of course, it has nothing to do with me. As soon as I came out of the Secret Realm, I turned myself in to you.” Finally, Xia Qin couldn’t hold back any longer. “When making a record, can you show some sincerity? The videotape was recorded over the old tape in my living room, and I didn’t even get to finish the show before you erased it…never mind, I didn’t say anything just now. Next, those little punks from the Dragon Snake Gang are all seriously injured and in the hospital now. Are you related to that?” “Of course not…maybe it was a kind-hearted passer-by. Yes, yes, there are many hot-blooded people these days. By the way, sir, they will be sentenced to many years, right?” “Yes, the evidence is solid, there are a large number of victims, the broadcast on TV caused public outrage, those few have already reached adulthood, and some even have criminal records… it’s a good thing they didn’t die, the main criminals should be executed, and the accomplices may get life imprisonment.” Xia Qin stopped writing. The next question was the key point, but it wasn’t suitable to be written down. “Deng Anqi, you know him, right?” “I don’t know him.” “He was seriously injured but didn’t die.” “Tsk, he didn’t die? He can’t be killed by an explosion?” Lu Ping’an was somewhat surprised, and he had to reassess the combat power of high-level professionals. The house was taken apart, but he didn’t die? He should have been at the core of the explosion, right? “Others are third-tier, 2-tier magic plants are still a bit less powerful. You need to be careful… What are you laughing at?” “Uh, did I laugh? I didn’t laugh. We’re trained not to laugh under normal circumstances. Pfft!” There was an unmistakable smile in the corner of Lu Ping’an’s eyes. It seemed that there would be more fun later on. He thought for a moment before saying, “He probably won’t be tried.” “Yes, legally, he can’t be caught. He only tacitly allowed his nephew to make trouble inside, and there’s not even any evidence of written contact between the two. In theory, as long as he insists on not knowing anything, he can get away clean.” “Hehe.” Lu Ping’an laughed again, and then Xia Qin glared at him. “Did you know from the start that you couldn’t drag him down, so you took matters into your own hands?” “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.” “…I’m just telling you, you don’t have to worry about him for the time being. Mr. Deng was fired by Green New Company and Keda University, and he still has to stay in the hospital for a while. With this incident being so big, someone has to take responsibility, his career is finished. But don’t think it’s over just because of this…” “Are you reminding me to kill someone to eliminate future troubles?….Alright, alright, stop glaring at me, I’m joking.” Looking at the still cheeky Lu Ping’an, Xia Qin sighed. In the Secret Realm, one can settle grudges freely, but outside it, it is a society ruled by law and evidence. Even though they found 14 million yuan of illegal income in Mr. Deng’s house, they still couldn’t convict him due to a lack of crucial evidence and witnesses. He insisted that the money came from an adventure in the Secret Realm, which was hard to verify. Regarding this matter, Mr. Deng might have initially only turned a blind eye to his nephew and his friends messing around and using the opportunity to gather materials for him. When his income skyrocketed, and his nephew came to thank him with money, the Professor chose to selectively ignore certain things. The small wrongdoings snowballed, earning at least 20 million in three years without having to dirty his hands. Even if at first he only wanted to collect materials for research, once the income came in, he no longer cared whether it was dirty or not. In fact, if not for Lu Ping’an making such a fuss, Mr. Deng might not even have to lose his job and face the consequences. He could just be transferred and his actions forgotten. He might not be the mastermind behind all this, but he certainly is the source of it all. As long as he remains in power, things will continue to happen. But since his wrongdoings were not subjective, it’s hard to convict him by legal means. Maybe Lu Ping’an’s actions were the only way to bring retribution to him. Of course, there might be consequences… “Keda and Green New? seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I’m aware.” Lu Ping’an certainly knew. If he could be unreasonable, then those two big organizations could also be unreasonable after losing face. Especially Green New Company… The Dragon Snake Gang members were right. Whether it was exterminating the Dragon Snake Gang or blowing up Green New’s store, it was a slap in the face for Green New Company. “…Was it worth it?” Xia Qin closed her notebook and sighed. “Yeah, it was worth it. It was a fascinating fireworks show, and I had a great time.” For the time being, the environment should be a bit more comfortable, right? For once, Lu Ping’an was sincere. He knew that he must have made things difficult for Captain Xia and that she would probably have to use many connections to help him. Although he was prepared for the worst, when he learned that his “case” would be taken over by the Special Service Team, he breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that he most likely would not be prosecuted. “… Alright, alright. As long as you’re happy. Keda is one thing, their relationship with Green New is just a partnership. But where there are people, there is intrigue. There are some people related to Mr. Deng that the university can’t control. As for Green New, you’d better not go to their Secret Realm…” Once the news about the incident broke, the mercenaries spread word that Green New Company had lost face. Due to the severity of the incident and public outrage, they gave up on seeking legal compensation from Lu Ping’an and issued an apology. However, they didn’t even mention civil compensation for Lu Ping’an, which seemed to imply that they had no intention of letting the matter end here. “…There are only two and a half days left until the college entrance examination. Can you behave for once? Aren’t you afraid that Green New will send a lawyer group to detain you for three or four days, preventing you from participating in the exam?” Lu Ping’an was indeed worried about this move. They could use legal procedures to keep him tied up for a few days, preventing him from taking the exam and forcing him to wait until next year. “Don’t I have you guys? I believe that our judicial system is fair and perfect…” “Enough with the nonsense. If you really believed that, you wouldn’t have taken matters into your own hands. Heh, I don’t believe it, so why should others?” Captain Xia, her face tired, got up and prepared to leave after handing over the interrogation records. “…You’ve done well.” But when she left, her words caught him off guard, and he couldn’t help but laugh. “…What I’ve always believed in is not rigid laws and systems, but people, certain people…” Half an hour later, after signing a bunch of documents, Lu Ping’an finally walked out of the police station. Standing at the entrance, he looked up at the sun in the sky, as if he was in another world. “Well done.” The same words came from a figure that suddenly brushed past him. Before Lu Ping’an had a chance to turn around, the person had disappeared without a trace. “As expected, it’s a very fast man.”
