Chapter 4
In the detention center,
Lu Shu waited for a long time, but no one came.
Feeling bored, he stood up from the chair,
reached out to twist the doorknob, and found that the door didn't seem to be locked.
So he opened the door, stuck his head out, and asked,
"How much longer do I have to wait?"
The two police officers standing outside the interrogation room were caught off guard when they saw Lu Shu’s head poke out,
and were so startled
that their right hands reflexively reached for their waists.
"You... how did you get out?"
Lu Shu said helplessly,
"The door wasn't locked."
"Even if the door isn't locked, you can't come out. Get back in!"
"I was just asking if there's nothing else, can I leave first? I have class in a bit."
Listening to Lu Shu’s words,
the veins on the foreheads of the two police officers were throbbing.
Nothing else?
This student...
Do you really have no idea what you've done?
"You wait, I'll go ask Captain Wang."
One police officer walked away quickly,
while the remaining one watched Lu Shu with extreme vigilance.
"You... don't move around, the police have weapons."
In his eyes,
this college student was a bona fide "dangerous element"!
Lu Shu had his hands in his pockets and really wanted to say he wasn't moving around.
But he felt that saying less was better than saying more right now.
It was just a part-time job,
not a big deal.
Within the borders of the Dragon Kingdom,
he was a completely law-abiding good citizen,
an excellent college student of Beihai University of Science and Technology!
He had even specifically left the weapons and equipment used for his part-time work abroad and hadn't brought them back.
To avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings,
Lu Shu silently closed the door and returned to the interrogation room.
However, he didn't have to wait long before the door to the interrogation room was pushed open.
"You can go."
Wang Feng walked in with a complex expression.
"However, you have been issued an exit ban; do not leave the country within 90 days so that we can find you at any time."
An exit ban?
Lu Shu just raised his eyebrows slightly, then quickly returned to a calm expression.
"Oh, okay."
"Then I'll be going, goodbye, officer."
"Captain Wang, are we really just letting him go? But..."
The guard police officer looked incredulous.
Wang Feng watched Lu Shu, who was strolling out with his hands in his pockets, and also felt a headache.
"Otherwise what? Arrest him?"
"What crime did he commit?"
The police officer was stunned by the question.
That seemed to be true...
At least within the Dragon Kingdom, it seemed he really hadn't broken any laws!
"Alright, let's not get involved in this matter."
"Above... someone has already intervened."
Wang Feng pointed to the ceiling,
and his colleague also became serious immediately.
"Could it be... people from National Security?"
"Mm."
Wang Feng nodded.
Others might not know, but he knew
that there was currently a guy from National Security at the station!
The questions asked during the interrogation earlier, the exit ban, and the order to release Lu Shu,
were all that person's will.
Matters of this level were no longer something they, as ordinary police officers, could intervene in.
Anyway, they would just do whatever they were told from above.
Just as Wang Feng was pondering to himself,
he suddenly frowned and his heart skipped a beat.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why did you run back?"
In front of Wang Feng,
Lu Shu, who had returned, was standing there.
Lu Shu touched his nose, feeling uncharacteristically embarrassed.
"Well."
"I was thinking, since you brought me here, wouldn't it be appropriate to drive me back to school?"
"After all, taxi fare is quite expensive."
Wang Feng looked at this harmless college student in front of him,
and felt a moment of dizziness.
Is this really the "dangerous element" who killed everywhere?
It must be fake...
Half an hour later,
a police car drove back to the gate of Beihai University of Science and Technology.
"Sorry for the trouble, Officer Wang!"
Lu Shu got out of the police car with a full smile.
He saved another 20 yuan in taxi fare!
"Mm, you're welcome."
"Young man... you must obey the law."
Wang Feng gave a stern warning and then drove away without stopping.
"I've always been quite law-abiding..."
Wang Feng gave a stern warning, then didn't linger and drove away directly.
"I've always been quite law-abiding..."
Lu Shu turned around and was about to enter the school gate,
when he was suddenly called out by a hurried voice.
"Student Lu Shu! Wait a moment!"
Su Mu, the reporter for "Inspiring Youth," ran over, panting.
After she returned to the station earlier and told the director about Lu Shu’s information,
the director was stunned for a full minute,
and then slammed the table and roared,
"That's outrageous!"
"He must be the protagonist of the third season!"
Then he grabbed Su Mu’s shoulders and said extremely seriously,
"Xiao Su! You must film this well!"
"If you have any difficulties, the station will fully support you!"
"Whether the third season explodes in popularity depends on you!"
Su Mu hadn't expected to be suddenly entrusted with such a great sense of mission,
so she rushed back to the police station, only to find that Lu Shu had already left,
and then she rushed to Beihai University without stopping, bringing her team with her.
"Student Lu Shu!"
"We at 'Inspiring Youth' have decided to invite you to be the protagonist for the third season!"
Su Mu said directly.
But she didn't expect to be rejected just as directly.
"Sorry, you should find someone else."
Watching Lu Shu prepare to walk away without looking back,
Su Mu shouted anxiously: "Why are you refusing?"
"I need to study hard, it’s not very convenient."
This reason...
Why does it sound so strange!
Su Mu watched Lu Shu walk away without a hint of hesitation,
and a flash of inspiration struck her,
so she shouted out in a moment of wit.
"After the filming of each season, the protagonist gets a 200,000 appearance fee!"
"Why don't you... consider this as another part-time job?"
Sure enough!
Su Mu saw Lu Shu’s footsteps pause...
"Will you owe me wages?"
"Absolutely not! It will definitely be in your account within 7 working days after filming ends!"
Besides,
we wouldn't dare to owe you...
What happened to the last person who owed you a commission?
Hearing that there was a 200,000 appearance fee, and that it was guaranteed not to be delayed,
Lu Shu stopped, turned around,
and gave Su Mu a professional smile, speaking very skillfully,
"Pay half the deposit first, and the final payment later."
"You can rest assured, I am very responsible with my part-time jobs."
"Happy to cooperate."
Watching Lu Shu, who seemed to have suddenly become a different person,
Su Mu nodded blankly, feeling that the scene was somewhat strange.
"Happy... to cooperate?"
Chapter 007: You have a part-time job within the Dragon Kingdom? Is it legitimate?
Entered the station in the morning, came back in the afternoon,
and was even personally sent back by a police car.
When Lu Shu walked into the gate of Beihai University, the security guard’s look at him was not right.
What’s the deal?
So many SWAT officers came to catch him in the morning, and he was sent back in the afternoon?
Glancing at the time,
it was past three in the afternoon, and there was one last class on Science and Productivity,
so Lu Shu walked slowly toward the classroom.
Behind him,
Su Mu led the program team to reopen the livestream,
explaining to the camera,
"Hello, everyone!"
"There was a small accident in the morning livestream."
"After discussion by our 'Inspiring Youth' program team,"
"we have decided on the protagonist for this season!"
"It is this..."
"Student Lu Shu!"
The camera turned,
and the screen showed Lu Shu’s back as he walked on campus with his hands in his pockets.
"Wow... decided so quickly?"
"Huh?..."
"Isn't this the student who was taken away by the police in the morning?"
"With such a massive formation to catch someone, how come he was released?"
"Program team, are you sure this student is doing a legitimate job during the break?"
"Is there some inside story..."
The morning livestream
was interrupted when Lu Shu was taken to the police station.
So the netizens didn't know what the situation was now.
They were just puzzled; even the SWAT team was dispatched to catch him,
how come he was released in the blink of an eye?
"There is no inside story! Absolutely no inside story!"
"The morning incident was just a police summons for investigation."
"This student Lu Shu... he did not break the laws of the Dragon Kingdom."
Looking at the barrage, Su Mu explained.
Although his KD ratio was off the charts,
he really hadn't broken any laws of the Dragon Kingdom...
"I can only say that student Lu Shu is the protagonist for this season of 'Inspiring Youth'."
".....He is very suitable!"
"There is no one more fitting for this season's theme than him."
"To save for tuition, the part-time jobs he did... were very hard."
"If we have the chance, we will definitely film the scenes of student Lu Shu doing his part-time jobs for everyone."
"If there's a chance, we will definitely film footage of Lu Shu working his part-time job for everyone."
