n“Twelve people.”

n“Five one-star, six two-star… and one three-star!”

nLu Ming’s gaze converged.

nHe was sensing the flows of energy in the bodies of that group of people.

nAlongside with his elevation to a two-star level, his sensing ability had also improved tremendously. Naturally, he could clearly and easily figure out the capabilities of these guys.

nThis was his investigation method.

nIt was very simple.

nIt was also very effective.

n“Indeed, there is actually a three-star.”

nLu Ming frowned.

nIt was a little troublesome then…

nAfter his experience with Fu Hongming, he was very fearful of the three-starrers from the suburban areas.

nGiven such capability, he had better be cautious.

n“Retreat first.”

nLu Ming left quietly.

nWhen he left the deserted building, he came down from the other side and headed to a faraway place. He was very careful in avoiding being discovered. However, he realized that he had been paranoid…

n“Tsk tsk. Those two sects were fighting again.”

n“The Sharks Sect and Fools Clan?”

n“I’m sure. It is very competitive in their line of work.”

n“I heard that their walls were smeared with dog poop last month. I didn’t expect that it would be demolished this month. Haha.”

n“Tsk, tsk, I heard that it is because of the little girl on a card… Haha. Let me tell you. That girl’s face… I also feel tempted when I look at it.”

n…

nThe passers-by were gossiping, happily watching and listening.

nWhich resident in this old town was simple? Besides those customers who were attracted to the place due to its reputation, the rest of them were mostly wily old foxes.

nHehe.

nLu Ming was expressionless. He listened to their discussion, while enduring the urge to kill them.

nThe investigation was completed!

nThe first stage of the investigation went smoothly.

nWell…

nLu Ming was very satisfied with his own investigation method. Look. Although the method of realizing it was different, the final outcome was the same.

nNext, was how to manage this matter.

nCall the police?

nIt was useless!

nThis place was too chaotic. Even the police dared not come here casually.

nThis was because besides some major crime offenders, there was also a big group of ex-convicts with adverse past records here. There was a huge number of them and none of them would cooperate with the investigation.

nIt was too difficult to obtain an approval to investigate in that kind of place!

nAs a result, there had always been a rumor circulating in Qing Ming City…

nThis was old town of murder and arson!

nWith no peace.

nFurthermore…

nThis time, the main reason that he came was to investigate the so-called source of the female-dressed photo. It was not appropriate for him to cause a commotion.

n“I’ll go back first.”

nLu Ming made his decision.

nBefore these people came out, he had already found what he wanted.

nBack at the shop.

nLu Ming checked on the photos of the suspects. He found those people whom he saw earlier.

nFan Eryan. He was once an employee of the Apple Loan Company, Banana Loan Company, Cucumber Loan Company and Durian Loan Company. He was involved in crimes such as fraud, kidnapping and intentional assault causing fatalities.

n“He actually caused someone’s death… ”

nLu Ming closed his eyes.

nWere all those people who were involved in using nude photos as collateral for loans that cruel and fearsome nowadays?

nHe also searched the Internet on the few other employees of the loan company who were caught. They were involved in some petty crimes and were let out after a period of imprisonment.

nOnly this person…

nIt was no wonder this guy wanted to escape!

nLu Ming had some understanding now.

nHe was the type that did not abide by the rules of the loan company.

nFraud, kidnapping…

nMost likely, he had targeted the customers of the loan company.

nThe profits of the loan company was high but ultimately, they belonged to the company. The employees would not get a lot of share in it. At this juncture, he would secretly take some photos and take action on his own.

nHence, he got into such messy crimes.

nAfter he was wanted by the police, he hid in the old town and relied on the help of the Sharks Sect or Fools Clan. He was helping them to create small cards now.

nThis had resulted in the leakage of that damned photo!

nThis was a vicious character.

nHowever…

nLu Ming did not intend to interfere in this matter anymore.

nHis main objective on this occasion was to investigate the source of the so-called female-dressed photo, whether there were other photos or more information. Now, it seemed like the photo had been secretly taken by Fan Eryan. Most likely, he only had one blurry photo and it was not a cause for concern.

nEven Zhang Xiaopang could not recognize him. How could others do so?

nWell…

nXiaobai was an exception.

nHowever…

nAt this moment, Lu Ming’s cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number. After picking it up, a low and deep voice could be heard from the phone receiver.

n“Hello, are you Miss Lu Min?”

nLu Ming was silent.

nLu Min?

nThis name…

nLady?

nAlright, it seemed to the contact number that Little Lu Ming had given to the loan company at that time? Hence, Fan Eryan still had his contact information and fake name.

nLu Ming instinctively closed his eyes.

n“My name is Fan Eryan. I was from the Durian Loan Company.”

nFan Eryan smiled, “There is a rich man’s son who is interested in you. He wants to pay a huge sum to meet you. What do you say?”

n“…”

nLu Ming froze a little. What kind of tactic was this?

n“This person really likes you.”

nFan Eryan smiled and said, “You don’t know about this. After he experienced your set meal, he specially came here to look for you. His identity and status is very unique and honorable. If you can satisfy him or build a good relationship with him, you will have meteoric success in the future.”

nDid rich men have such strong taste nowadays?

n“I’m serious.”

nFan Eryan was afraid that she would misunderstand. Hence, he patiently and earnestly persuaded, “I won’t control you. Neither would I dare to. This person doesn’t belong to Qing Ming City. If you are together, you will be able to leave this place, right? Look. Didn’t we cultivate for decades painstakingly because we wanted peace and comfort? As long as you nod, you will have everything. Unfortunately, people like us don’t have such qualities. Otherwise, we would have long done it. Isn’t that so?”

n“Rest assured. The first time is just a meet-up and nothing else.”

n“What do you say?” Fan Eryan asked.

nBang!

nLu Ming hung up the phone immediately.

nVery soon.

nThe message came —

nFan Eryan, “How dare you hang up on me?”

n“It seems like I have to resolve this.”

nLu Ming sighed.

nAfter thinking, he replied, “I am at home. It is not convenient to talk. I need to attend classes for the next few days. I don’t have class on Saturday. I will go over then.”

n“Okay.”

nFan Eryan seemed to be very satisfied. “This is the address. I hope that you won’t play any tricks. Haha… ”

nLu Ming took a glance.

n“Very well.”

nThe address was correct.

nIf he were to call the police and bring the law enforcers over, most likely, the traces of wrongdoing in the house would have been cleaned up thoroughly the moment that he arrived at the old town.

nThe old town was a paradise for those unlawful people.

n“It is getting more and more interesting.”

nLu Ming looked at the date.

nIt was Monday today. There were still five days to Saturday. This was already the maximum and reasonable amount of time that he could delay. If he were to delay any further, Fan Eryan would definitely suspect him.

n“Five days is enough.”

nLu Ming’s gaze was icy cold.

nSome people…

nThey were really courting death.

n***

nAt this very moment…

nIn the old town.

nIn the villa of the walls that had been demolished, Fan Eryan and the Leader of the Shark Sect were carefully entertaining a young man who was quite handsome.

n“Brother Wang.”

n“The matter has been settled. She will come over on Saturday after school.”

nFan Eryan nodded and bowed.

n“Is that so?”

nWang Xuan was very satisfied. Yet, he was a little concerned. “That lady… ”

n“Don’t worry.”

nFan Eryan said in a low voice. “That lady is very chaste. We only borrowed her face. That’s all. The rest was fabricated.”

n“You didn’t threaten her, right?”

nWang Xuan glanced at him.

n“Why would I?”

nFan Eryan was amused. “This is your woman. We won’t dare to threaten her.”

n“That’s good.”

nWang Xuan was satisfied.

nHe had never seen such a unique lady before.

nIt was true.

nHe was born into an extraordinary family. There were countless women surrounding him.

nHowever, at first glance of this lady, although it was just a photo, even a smile of hers could stir his heart. He had never felt this way before…

nPity?

nSympathy?

nLove at first sight?

nHe had no idea.

nTherefore, he had to meet that lady.

nCoincidentally, he had ran into a huge trouble this time and had to take shelter from it. He thus came here directly.

n“Oh, those small cards still have the illusion.”

nWang Xuan instructed, “Recall all of them. I don’t want anyone else to fantasize about her.”

n“Rest assured.”

nFan Eryan smiled and said, “We have already ceased the sales of it today. Now, our entire Shark Sect is only serving you. We assure you that you will be satisfied.”

n“Not bad, not bad.”

nWang Xuan felt very soothed. “When I go back, I will take better care of all of you.”

nFan Eryan then excused himself.

nThey took so much pains to curry favor with him. Wasn’t it for the sake of receiving more care?

nAfter all…

nThis was that person’s son.

nAfter they left, Wang Xuan took out the precious small card again.

nIt was still that charming and seductive smile on it. After taking a glance, Wang Xuan felt his heart beating rapidly.

nHe was certain…

nHe had never seen this kind of smile in all other women.

nIt was so unique.

nPerhaps…

nBeauty is in the eye of the beholder?

nHe smiled in a silly manner.

nOr perhaps…

nThis was the taste of love?
