I became Superman

Chapter 91 Grass Cherry (Thanks to hyaweh and Remnant Dragon for the donations)

The next morning, Zhou Ming was washing up when he heard a knock on Yi Jiahui's door across the hall. He knew then that the drama he had arranged was about to begin.

He quickly wiped his face and went to open the door.

Huang Hong was standing in the corridor when he saw Zhou Ming open the door. He smiled and nodded at him, then waited for a response from inside.

Not long after, Cao Ying's mother opened the door, looked at Huang Hong with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Is something the matter?"

Huang Hong took out his identification and handed it over, saying, "I'm from the Imperial Security Bureau. Is Cao Ying inside?"

Cao Ying's mother took the documents, confirmed they were correct, and her eyes lit up immediately. She said, "I was just about to look for you. You've come at the perfect time."

"I entrusted my perfectly good child to you, and you've ruined him like this. What are you going to do about it? If you can't provide a sincere solution, I won't let this go. I'm going to take this to the capital and make sure you regret it."

Cao Ying's mother crossed her arms, turned to the side, and glanced at Huang Hong, looking like she was about to raise the price.

Huang Hong remained unmoved and said, "It seems that Cao Ying didn't tell you the truth."

Kusaka's mother asked suspiciously, "What truth?"

Huang Hongdao said, "Cao Ying made a serious mistake in her work, causing significant losses to the Empire, and three Security Bureau personnel were killed as a result."

"So she was expelled by the Security Bureau and should also compensate the Empire for a loss of 1.23 million. We have contacted her many times, but she has refused to pay compensation."

"Are you her family member? If so, please compensate her on her behalf."

Startled, Kusaka's mother slowly lowered her arms, turned to look at Kusaka, and asked, "Is this real?"

Seeing that Cao Ying was cowering in the back and dared not speak, Cao Ying's mother became anxious. She went over and shook her shoulders, saying, "Why don't you say something? You caused trouble, why are you afraid to speak now? You troublemaker, don't expect me to bail you out."

"You're so old now, you should bear the consequences of your own mistakes."

Yi Jiahui quickly snatched the grass buds away and said, "What are you doing? Can't you speak properly?"

Huang Hong said, "Don't get agitated. The most important thing now is to discuss how to resolve the issue. The Empire's punishment cannot be avoided. You'd better find a way to settle the compensation for her first. Other matters can be resolved calmly."

Cao Ying's mother cried out, "Where am I supposed to find a solution? It wasn't easy raising her all these years, and now I have to compensate for her. I shouldn't have given birth to her, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered for so many years."

"Her deadbeat father, and her—I've had enough!"

With that, Cao Ying's mother pushed him away and ran downstairs without looking back.

Hearing her mother's rude and unkind insults, Cao Ying's face turned ashen.

Hearing her mother's footsteps fade into the distance, Cao Ying instinctively chased after her. Unable to see, she stepped into empty space and fell down the stairs.

Zhou Ming reached out to support her.

Kusaka hugged his arm and groped her way to her feet.

She felt all her strength drain away, and her heart sank into emptiness. She asked, "Brother Zhou Ming, what am I going to do?"

Zhou Ming said, "Just do what you did before, and do it the same way in the future. Aren't you doing well here? You were so happy when she wasn't here."

"An unhealthy relationship is like a tumor on a person's body. It will hurt a lot to cut it off, but once the wound heals, you will feel extremely relaxed."

Is that possible?

Cao Ying felt somewhat lost; her life experience was insufficient to support her in thinking about such complex interpersonal relationships.

But since Brother Zhou Ming said that, there must be a reason; he's so amazing.

Zhou Ming comforted Cao Ying, looked at Huang Hong, and smiled, "Thank you for your help."

Huang Hong said, "It's nothing, just a small favor."

"Ms. Yi, are you free? The Alien Center needs manpower recently. If you are available, why don't you come with me to the center to report for duty?"

Zhou Ming asked, "Are there strange beings causing trouble in Chengdu again?"

Huang Hong sighed helplessly and said, "It's even more troublesome than trouble caused by aliens."

"For some reason, a large number of strange beings suddenly flocked to Chengdu from all over the country today. We initially thought someone was plotting a conspiracy."

"However, after a thorough investigation of a group of these outcasts who flocked to Chengdu, it was discovered that they all came spontaneously, without any prior signs of collusion, and their reasons for coming to Chengdu were all reasonable."

"We had no choice but to request assistance from headquarters while simultaneously recruiting personnel for security."

Zhou Ming nodded thoughtfully and said, "We must be vigilant."

Yi Jiahui really wanted to participate, as she could earn contributions and improve herself, but she hesitated because she thought about how Cao Ying needed someone to take care of her.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Go if you want. Sister Cao Ying can come with me. Anyway, I have nothing to do all day."

Yi Jiahui smiled and said, "With a senior like you here, there's nothing that can go wrong."

Yi Jiahui and Huang Hong went to the Center for the Extraordinary.

Zhou Ming asked, "What are your plans?"

Still feeling down, Cao Ying said sullenly, "I'm fine with anything, Brother Zhou Ming, how do you spend your days?"

Zhou Ming said, "I just wander around and soak up the sun."

Kusaka smiled and said, "Then let's go out and sunbathe together."

Zhou Ming smiled and left the residential area with Cao Ying.

It's already October, and the climate in Chengdu is a bit damp and chilly. When the sun is out, taking a walk outside and basking in the sun is especially pleasant.

After having breakfast, the two walked aimlessly along the street outside the residential area.

Seeing Cao Ying cautiously exploring the ground with her guide cane, Zhou Ming asked, "Doesn't the Empire have any supernatural beings capable of healing eye injuries?"

"You were injured in the line of duty, and the Empire shouldn't abandon you."

Kusaka shook her head and said, "There are quite a few aliens that can heal wounds, but my eyes have been completely dissolved by the vampire's blood poison, and even my optic nerves are damaged. The only way to heal me is to grow two new eyes. Even the Empire can't do anything about this level of treatment."

Another vampire—

Zhou Ming said, "When I have the chance in the future, I'll capture the progenitor of vampires and let you get revenge."

"

Cao Ying smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou Ming."

Zhou Ming remembered that he had previously planned to train his vision by trying to illuminate the moon in order to find the Shadow Realm.

But ever since he returned to Chengdu, one thing after another has happened, and he has been unable to find a suitable opportunity.

Now he seems to be targeted again, and he doesn't believe that all those things that have happened in the past two days are just coincidences.

To call it a coincidence would be an absurdity; various events simply happened to happen to him.

For example, right now, he and Cao Ying were strolling leisurely down the street when a man with long, artist-like hair suddenly approached them.

The man was handsome, but there was an uncontrollable evil in his eyes, and Zhou Ming could also smell a faint fox scent on him.

The man completely ignored Zhou Ming beside him, looked at Cao Ying, and gave her what he thought was an extremely charming smile, saying, "Little sister, my name is Hu Shanxiang, may I get to know you?"
