When the sunlight faded and night shrouded the sky, the city was ablaze with splendid lights.
The Capital was the cradle of countless dreams, and the tomb of many ambitions.
Nie Ting sat behind the control panel and monitored every inch of the screen. Shi Xuejin smiled, “How is it going? Can they still survive after three days without sleep?
“Three days without any sleep. The kid is not someone who would obey, neither do I expect him to. I am simply curious about how he’s going to fight back, and whether he will use all he’s got,” Nie Ting replied calmly.
From Nie Ting’s point of view, Lu Shu would never give up. Thus, there was no winner or loser in their rivalry and he was only interested in Lu Shu’s next action.
“What are they doing now?” Shi Xuejin was curious.
“They’ve been hiding these few days, but to minimal success. I guess they have given up on that idea. Today, instead of hiding, they bought themselves two sets of black clothes with black masks, and are now squatting quietly above a lit basketball court. I’m not sure what they are up to,” Nie Ting shook his head.
In that instance, Nie Ting suddenly froze, “What’s happening!?”
The basketball court was boisterous, and a group of middle-aged women were dancing to the noisy music, “I love the boundless land, and the blooming flowers on the foot of the mountains…”
All of a sudden, Lu Shu stood up, “This determines whether we can have a good night’s sleep tonight. These women forced the students out of their basketball court and used violence. Are you sure about that?”
Chen Zuan nodded, “Yes. It was just two weeks ago and it made it to the front page of the news too. A student was beaten badly and his face was covered by blood…”
“Then, I’ll have no emotional burden,” after that, Lu Shu suddenly darted towards the crowd and carried away their loudspeaker…
The women were all stunned in place. They took a while before they realized what had happened!
“Our loudspeaker was stolen!”
“That little bastard! He’s surely one of the basketball boys. We can’t let him off!” they were infuriated. Who was so shabby to steal their loudspeaker?!
Without music, how could they dance?
With the loudspeaker in his arms, Lu Shu ran ahead. In fact, he was not even running at his full speed, just so that the women could still catch up to him.
Burning with rage, the women followed closely behind. Their will to defend their dancing territory could never be underestimated and so was their ability to run. You might not be able to dance for three hours straight, but they could!
“Stop the hell right there!”
“You little bastard! I will send you to the police once I catch you!”
Lu Shu curled his lips, Haha, who are you talking to? I’ll send the loudspeaker up to the sky with hundreds of Pleasant Goats if I have the time!
He would pause occasionally during the run. The place was only eight-hundred meters away from the Lingjing Lane and within running distance. After he arrived at the Lane, he took out the firecrackers he bought earlier, set them off and threw them down the underground tunnel. Instantly, the Heavenly Network was boiling in shock. Who dared to be so unmannered here?
A group of men in black ascended from the tunnel, only to see a rechargeable loudspeaker placed at their doorstep, “With the freedom of singing along the way, we shall sing to our heart’s content. You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me keep you by my side. Hey, by my side…”
Hao Zhichao and the rest were totally at a loss. What the hell was that?!
Before they could process it, a group of middle-aged women rushed out from the corner. Seeing their loudspeaker together with people who looked exactly the same as Lu Shu, they were fuming with anger. To them, no power could be compared to theirs!
“What? They brought so many people!”
“Beat them up!”
Hao Zhichao’s team was in shock. What was going on?!
“Wait! We didn’t steal your loudspeaker. It’s worthless anyway, so why would we steal it?!” Hao Zhichao tried to talk to them in a kind manner, since violence was a breach of the rules. Even so, it was hard to explain to these unreasonable women.
The women became even more irate, “How is our loudspeaker worthless?”
Hao Zhichao was speechless.
Did they even catch the main point?
In fact, usually, people carrying weird things could never come near to Lingjing Lane. But this time, Nie Ting did not inform his people at all, he was still seated and stared at the screen with his emotionless face.
Shi Xuejin’s hands were trembling. After a while, he could not help but laugh out loud, “Hahahahahaha, interesting. Pretty interesting!”
Nie Ting kneaded his temples, “In my opinion, he should be thrown abroad to take care of external powers, like Li Yixiao.”
Nie Ting had expected Lu Shu to launch a surprise attack against the Heavenly Network field operators in the day, plan a night ambush, reveal his trump card, or even disappear completely to somewhere not monitored.
But this fellow was completely unpredictable. Who would imagine that he actually went to steal these middle-aged women’s loudspeaker?
“Use an unfathomable power to counter another unfathomable power. There seems nothing wrong with it,” Shi Xuejin could not stop laughing, “I think I can pay some attention to this kid when I’m tired of reading. How refreshing.”
“What do you think about deploying him overseas?” Nie Ting turned to ask.
“I’m just worried that he’s not willing to go. You see, he’s already buying houses and lands on Beimang, plus he has a ten-year-old sister. How would he be willing to go overseas? We are different from those foreign powers. We will not force him to abandon his sister,” Shi Xuejin smiled.
“We shall wait,” Nie Ting closed his eyes for a break.
In the past, he had asked Li Yixiao about his impression of Lu Shu.
At that time, Li Yixiao was singing Lu Shu’s praises. Nie Ting regretted not realizing it earlier, that for a person to be commended by Li Yixiao, how could he be normal?
Well, this was the harshest comment that Li Yixiao had ever received.
With a roasted sausage each, Lu Shu and Chen Zuan walked on the streets and held their heads high. Lu Shu was in high spirits, “We can have a good night’s rest tonight, for sure!”
Chen Zuan was being a sycophant, “You are the best, Brother Shu. But, how about tomorrow night?”
“Tomorrow night…” Lu Shu was too absorbed in eating his sausage, “Let it be then…”
Whenever Lu Shu was feeling down, he would think about how good his life would be if he could simply get along well with Lu Xiaoyu, and now, he was wondering what Xiaoyu might be doing at that moment.
None of it mattered to him, be it the assessment or his future prospects, only Lu Xiaoyu was important.
But despite it all, the seventh night finally passed in peace.
