Chapter 545: Chapter 100_3

At this time, Lin Shuyou, who had originally been sitting with his back against the phone booth pillar, leaned sideways and fell down. There happened to be a stone on the road, and with a "thud," his head directly knocked against it.

Li Zhiyuan pointed at Lin Shuyou with a Jianlibao and said,

"Brother Binbin, you’d better take good care of him. Don’t let him die here while they’re performing rituals over there to save his life."

"Oh, right, right."

Tan Wenbin helped Lin Shuyou up again, and with one kick, he knocked away the stone that dared to attack Lin Shuyou.

"I think, it won’t be long before someone from Lin Shuyou’s hometown will come to the school."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, I understand."

Lin Shuyou, having suffered two serious injuries in a short time, this time was even more ridiculous.

His family back home will definitely send someone to check out the situation afterward.

They must be puzzling over how their kid comes to this university and ends up having to deal with divination and evil spirits every now and then? What kind of dragon’s lair is this Jinling city?

What Li Zhiyuan meant was to have Tan Wenbin stabilize Lin Shuyou in order to deal with people from his hometown and avoid any issues.

Tan Wenbin signaled that he understood and that he would take responsibility for "taking care" of him.

Although Lin Shuyou was unconscious and couldn’t hear, some things are less fun if spoken too directly.

However, the issue wasn’t significant, Li Zhiyuan had faith that Tan Wenbin could handle the matter, and the simple Lin Shuyou was quite easy to placate.

He guessed that when he woke up, his first words would not be a question but self-blame: "Sorry, it’s my fault, I couldn’t deal with that old woman in time."

"Ding-a-ling!"

The phone in the phone booth rang; it was Tan Yunlong calling back after receiving a pager message.

Tan Wenbin went back in to answer the phone:

"Hello, is this Officer Tan?"

"It’s your dad."

"Officer Tan, we are discussing serious matters, please be solemn."

"Name."

"Tan Wenbin."

"Sex."

"Male."

"Family situation."

"Raised by my mother."

"Hm."

Covering the receiver, Tan Wenbin yelled to Li Zhiyuan standing outside, "My dad is drunk, he’s drunk quite a lot."

Indeed, Tan Yunlong was drunk, having many drinks at a celebration hosted by his department.

Then, Tan Wenbin heard several slaps in succession from the other end of the phone.

Following that, the voice on the phone reverted to its usual calm style:

"Comrade Tan Wenbin, did you discover the location of Granny Yu’s criminal gang?"

"Yes, Officer Tan, in Tong’an Town, at the circus base in the West Suburban Square, the whole circus is involved in human trafficking."

"Good, I got it."

The voice from the other end hung up, Tan Wenbin shrugged, walked out of the telephone booth, and just in time saw Lin Shuyou tilting towards the other side; he dashed forward and kicked away a stone on the ground.

"Bang!"

Lin Shuyou’s head merely hit the ground.

"Phew, Brother Xiao Yuan, I reacted quickly this time, haha."

"Why didn’t you just hold him?"

"Uh..."

"You’re exhausted, hurry and take a cab back to rest well."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, we really need to get our own car, even if it’s a second-hand one."

Getting a cab in the suburbs late at night was genuinely inconvenient.

"You guys should first go get a driver’s license."

"Oh right, I totally forgot about that. Then I’ll go take the test first. They don’t have time right now. By the way, Brother Xiao Yuan, don’t we need to deal with those Arrays?"

"No need, their effects will dissipate before dawn, and by then the police will definitely have arrived."

"But what if my dad and the others get trapped in there?"

"It won’t happen. A little remaining power from the Array is shattered by a police badge."

"Is that effect real?"

"The officials, after all, is like the ghost world’s police station, right?"

"Hey, here comes a car, lucky today."

A taxi came, pulled over, and rolled down the window; it was the same driver that had brought them in the afternoon.

"Hey, it’s really you guys."

"Exactly, what a coincidence. It’s all about a good beginning and end for lasting fortune, don’t you agree, driver?"

Tan Wenbin realized the driver was off duty and wanting to head home, mentioned previously his home was in this town, so he quickly stopped him from refusing.

The driver’s face showed a troubled expression, but considering the auspicious words Tan Wenbin mentioned, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, get in, I’ll take you back to the school, and we won’t use the meter, okay?"

"Fine, then let’s not use the meter. How much was it in the daytime, how much to go back at night."

"That’s not what I meant..."

"So you mean to give us a free ride back, that works too."

"Let’s just stick to the original daytime fare."

The streets were empty at night, and the taxi sped along, finally dropping the three off at the school gate; Tan Wenbin paid the fare.

The driver counted the money and sighed, "Ah, gotta drive back empty."

With that, the driver restarted the car, and either from distraction or a malfunction, the car abruptly surged onto the flower bed, tilting the front end up.

The noise was quite loud; the gate security came out to help.

Tan Wenbin spoke to Li Zhiyuan, "Brother Xiao Yuan, is it because he really shouldn’t have charged us?"

The driver had mentioned in the daytime that he was planning to take his kid to see the circus performance tomorrow. If it weren’t for Li Zhiyuan and the others resolving the issue tonight, his smart son would have been at a high risk of being kidnapped.

This averted disaster didn’t manage to solidly return the favor, so it manifested in other ways.

When a child breaks dishes, the elderly often say "smashed into peace," holding the same notion.

"Maybe so."

Tan Wenbin continued, "But him normally running the meter to bring us back, that’s already very decent. How would a normal person know what to do? This is too difficult."
