Chapter 8

In the detention center,

Lu Shu waited for a long time, but not a single person came.

Getting rather bored from waiting, he stood up from the chair,

reached out and turned the door handle, and found the door didn't seem to be locked.

So he opened the door, poked his head out, and asked,

"How much longer do I have to wait?"

The two police officers standing outside the interrogation room were startled to suddenly see Lu Shu's head poking out,

The misanthropic salary sincerely writes the vulture's postscript λ completion 00

and got quite the fright,

their right hands reflexively reaching for their lower backs in an instant,

"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 just come out! Get back in there!"

"I'm just asking—if there's nothing else going on, can I leave first? I have class in a bit."

Hearing Lu Shu's words,

the veins on the two officers' temples were twitching.

Nothing going on?

This student...

do you really have no idea at all what you've done?

"Wait here, I'll go ask Captain Wang."

One of the officers hurried off,

while the remaining officer watched Lu Shu with extreme wariness.

"You... don't make any sudden moves, okay? Uncle Police has a weapon."

In his eyes,

this college student was a bona fide "dangerous element"!

Lu Shu, hands in his pockets, really wanted to say he hadn't made any sudden moves.

But he figured it was better to say one less sentence than one more right now,

it was just a part-time job,

not some big deal.

Within the borders of the Dragon Nation,

he was a completely law-abiding, model citizen,

an outstanding student of North Sea University of Science and Technology!

Even the weapons and gear he used for his part-time job,

he had deliberately left outside the country and not brought back.

To avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstandings,

Lu Shu silently closed the door again and returned to the interrogation room.

But this time he didn't wait long before the interrogation room door was pushed open.

"You can go."

Wang Feng walked in with a complicated expression on his face.

"However, you've now been issued an exit ban. Don't leave the country for 90 days, and make sure we can reach you at any time."

Exit ban?

Lu Shu just raised his eyebrows slightly, then quickly returned to a calm expression.

"Oh, alright."

"Then I'll be going now. Goodbye, Uncle Police."

"Captain Wang, you're really just letting him go? But..."

The officer at the door looked utterly incredulous.

Wang Feng watched Lu Shu stroll out with his hands in his pockets, and felt a headache coming on.

"What else? Arrest him?"

"What crime did he commit?"

The officer was stumped by the question,

and thought, seems like that's true too...

At least within the borders of the Dragon Nation, it seemed he really hadn't broken any laws!

"Alright, let's not get involved in this."

"Up above... someone has already stepped in."

Wang Feng pointed upward,

and his colleague immediately grew serious,

"Could it be... people from the Ministry of State Security?"

"Mm."

Wang Feng nodded,

Others didn't know, but he did—

Right now there was a National Security fellow sitting in a holding cell!

The earlier interrogation questions, the exit ban, and the order to release Lu Shu—

All of them were that person's idea.

At this level, it was no longer something ordinary cops like them could meddle in.

Whatever the higher-ups said, that's what they'd do.

Just as Wang Feng was thinking to himself,

His brow suddenly furrowed, his heart gave a jolt.

"Didn't I tell you to leave? How come you're back again?"

Before Wang Feng,

At some unknown point, Lu Shu—who had left and returned—was standing there.

Lu Shu, rarely a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose.

"Uh, that."

"I figured, since you guys brought me here, wouldn't it be more appropriate to drive me back to school?"

"After all, a taxi costs quite a bit."

Wang Feng looked at this harmless-looking college student before him,

His vision went hazy for a moment.

This really f***ing is that "dangerous element" who slaughtered his way through everything?

Must be fake...

Half an hour later,

A police car drove once again to the gate of Beihai University of Science and Technology.

"Sorry for the trouble, Officer Wang!"

Lu Shu stepped down from the police car with a face full of smiles.

Saved another 20 yuan in taxi fare!

"Mm, you're welcome."

"Young man... you must obey the law and keep your nose clean."

Wang Feng, face stern, offered one piece of advice, then drove off without lingering.

"I've always been pretty law-abiding..."
