Lu Mingfei knew that Lao Tang's abilities were mediocre, neither the best nor the worst. Entering the professional e-sports circle was a pipe dream, unless he suddenly awakened an ability similar to Komugi's specialization in Gungi from Hunter x Hunter.

He offered help when the other party was at a loss for what to do in his Kassel interview, and naturally did not want to see the other party fixated on a path that would lead nowhere.

"It's so boring. My job is usually very exciting, and some games don't appeal to me at all."

"How exciting?" Lu Mingfei looked at his online buddy who answered honestly and suddenly felt something was wrong. Was the other party some kind of outlaw?

"It's basically helping people rob graves and stuff. I often run into people like last week in America. I sometimes travel for work, and I might go to your place."

Old Tang didn't hide his profession, or perhaps he revealed it because he trusted Lu Mingfei.

"..." He really is a lawless scoundrel. If you came to China, you would definitely be in big trouble. Lu Mingfei could also tell from the text message that the other party trusted him.

He replied, "You'd better not come. Although you are a Chinese American, you don't have a registered residence and you're involved in gray-market industries. You're likely to get arrested. I've heard that people inside tend to 'pick up the soap,' and it's easy for them to be unable to hold their excrement."

"What?!" Old Tang didn't reply to the message for a long time, seemingly worried about his future.

"Um, I... did you pass the interview for that college?"

"Success."

"That's fantastic! When you come to America, we'll ride Greyhound together, and I'll take you on a tour around the country," Old Tang promised confidently.

I hope so.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei typed the last word, then logged off without waiting for Lao Tang's reply.

After what just happened, and recalling Zhang Chulan's warning to him, "Be careful of the people around you," he has become somewhat paranoid, even suspecting Lao Tang.

Old Tang is such a good person, how could he be someone who was arranged?

The occasional meter readers turned out to be uniformed police officers, confirming Zhang Chulan's suspicions.

From now on, I'll have to live under the watchful eyes of others, with no one to talk to and no powerful force to rely on.

His official life of raising salted fish is over.

Now we must be careful and live independently.

I sighed for no reason. How wonderful it was to live a carefree life before, not daring to look people in the eye, not noticing these details, immersed in my own little world, fantasizing about being a hero.

He then realized how painful it was to regain consciousness; no wonder the Poisonous Plum's ability was so effective on him.

When the pressure is too great, his laziness surges up.

However, he had no choice but to get up, find a gold shop, and sell the gold he had bought to obtain some funds.

Buying in a world with high prices a few years from now and then selling in a world with low prices a few years from now is the most foolish thing to do.

But it is currently the only way for him to earn money on his own.

......

The next day.

The first thing Lu Mingfei did when he woke up in the morning was to turn on his phone and look at the photos of him and her.

It's still so sweet, and my longing for you has only deepened.

Fifty-nine days left, the remaining time is really hard to bear.

Today, the man who calls himself Lawyer Zhou will come to his city to help him deal with matters related to child support.

He went to the nearest hospital and took a look from afar. He saw Lu Mingze, who rarely exercised, running around the hospital, busy with various tasks.

After confirming that there were no problems, they left.

As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, a gaze fell upon him. This gaze was very familiar; it belonged to the person who often pretended to be checking the water meter at his house.

Lu Mingfei ignored the other party. So many years had passed, and the other party hadn't done anything to him.

Head to the location agreed upon with Attorney Zhou.

School janitor Chen Hao covered his face with a newspaper and did not approach rashly.

"Report: Lu Mingfei is currently in good condition and has not been affected by his uncle and aunt's quarrel. He does not appear to have any awakening abilities at present, and we have not sensed any obvious loneliness from him."

Chen Hao reported cautiously that he had not been discovered over the years not because he had any superb tracking or disguise skills, but simply because Lu Mingfei would not pay attention to such things.

"Yes, we must observe carefully and not miss any details. Although he is behaving like an ordinary person now, it does not mean that he has no awakened abilities."

"Yes." Chen Hao murmured and followed Lu Mingfei away.

He followed Lu Mingfei from a distance and watched him walk into a coffee shop.

As soon as Lu Mingfei entered the coffee shop, someone greeted him.

The man appeared to be a young male, dressed in a well-fitting, tailored suit, with meticulously styled hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and dark eyes that looked as if he were wearing colored contact lenses.

Smiling, he sat in the corner, put the Civil Procedure Law aside, and beckoned Lu Mingfei over.

"Mr. Zhou?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

“Yes, my name is Zhou Qihua, you can call me Lawyer Zhou.” The young man invited Lu Mingfei to sit down.

He placed his hands on the table and asked politely.

Could you describe your situation in more detail?

There was nothing to hide about her situation; the women who played cards with her aunt all knew, and the neighbors had pieced together the fragmented truth.

You can get the general idea with just a little inquiry.

Attorney Zhou frowned slightly, feeling extremely puzzled about the ins and outs of the matter.

While listening to Lu Mingfei's story, I kept trying to interrupt him by asking, "Why?!", but I held back in the end.

“I understand your situation. This is not an easy matter, especially since your uncle and aunt are already hospitalized. It will take at least a week to recover,” Attorney Zhou said with a slight nod.

"In addition, your situation is special and someone has already paid the relevant fees for you, so you don't need to worry about the fees at all. My team and I will help you as soon as possible."

Lu Mingfei gleaned crucial information from this: who paid the relevant fees for him, and it was no small sum.

Who on earth is so kind as to pay this fee for him? Why was there no news about him for the past few years?

"Are they my parents?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chapter 104 How come you know nothing?

"I'm sorry, I cannot disclose the employer's information; it's a matter of professional ethics."

"This isn't quite right. They solved such a big problem for me, how am I supposed to thank them?" Lu Mingfei asked somewhat awkwardly.

“This is not within my area of ​​expertise.” Attorney Zhou picked up the phone and began informing his team to handle Lu Mingfei’s case with all their might.

Attorney Zhou's level of professionalism left Lu Mingfei speechless.

He was about to cross his legs when he suddenly remembered what she had said, saying it wasn't good for his testicles, so he reluctantly put them back down.

Then someone I didn't know appeared.

It shouldn't be Kassel College. After they finished recruiting students, they left with the red-haired Nono and the round-faced girl, leaving behind only a few informants.

It must be another group of people.

Just how popular am I that someone is eyeing me again?

Lu Mingfei held his forehead with one hand, looking slightly worried. This shouldn't be the last wave of people who had designs on him.

This is such a hassle.

In the days that followed, he frequently came here, and Attorney Zhou reported new developments every day.

We have already made contact with Lu Gucheng through Lu Mingfei.

After the call connected, Lu Gucheng's tone was very calm, as if he had known this moment was coming and was prepared for it.

Lu Gucheng, still in the hospital, glanced at the gauze on his abdomen. The doctor said he was very lucky to be alive because someone had treated him in time; otherwise, he would have already gone to see his great-grandmother.

The excessive blood loss and wounds were perhaps a punishment for his indifference or cowardly behavior over the past few years. He knew he felt guilty, guilty towards Lu Mingfei, guilty towards his brother whom he hadn't seen for many years. He had taken so much child support but failed to take good care of Lu Mingfei, and he didn't even have the face to see Lu Mingfei.

He learned from the newsstand owner that it was Lu Mingfei who made the emergency call.

His face flushed red with embarrassment. For so many years, he had turned a blind eye to his wife's behavior, letting Lu Mingfei grow wildly like weeds.

After he was knocked unconscious and injured, Lu Mingfei not only did not abandon him, but also called the police without holding a grudge, thus saving his life.

At that moment, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Even after treating Lu Mingfei that way, Lu Mingfei still repaid evil with kindness and treated him well.

I'm not a person, I'm not even a thing.

“Yes, I…we will appear in court on time,” Lu Gucheng calmly agreed.

He stood at the entrance of the psychiatric ward for a long time, then finally went inside.

They found their aunt curled up at the head of the bed, hugging her legs.

"I didn't do it, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." She kept repeating these words, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried all her tears.

Lu Gucheng explained the whole story to his aunt.

"No!!" Auntie stood up instantly, roaring as she looked down at Lu Gucheng, "No, that's mine! Mine..."

The aunt was making a fuss, seemingly trying to protect what she had left.

But no one responded to her. Her gaze gradually moved down and she saw Lu Gucheng's abdomen wrapped in gauze, and Lu Mingze standing far behind Lu Gucheng, not daring to approach the two of them. His eyes were full of fear, as if he would leave as soon as she took the next step.

Her wounded lover and her fearful child were slowly stimulating her.

A sliver of clarity gradually returned to his confused gaze.

My aunt plopped down on the bed and started wailing softly.

"I...I'm just jealous, jealous of Giovanni. I also want to live the life of a wealthy woman...No, it's all Lu's fault...It's the fault of raising me..."

The aunt didn't continue. She knew perfectly well that the root of the problem was her own inability to resist temptation. Blaming Lu Mingfei was just a way for her to shirk responsibility and avoid facing herself.

Lu Gucheng didn't comfort his weeping aunt; instead, he pressed on the wound in his abdomen.

There will always be a price to pay for what doesn't belong to you, and the price you're unwilling to pay will be taken away in some way.

......

Lu Mingfei had lost count of how many days it had been. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to take out his fully charged phone and check it.
