<h4>Chapter 1052: Chapter 1046: The Matter Concluded</h4>


    One finger!


    With just a simple finger, someone waspletely wiped out!


    Xue Bing’s beautiful eyes widened, looking at Lu Tianxing with disbelief. She knew Lu Tianxing was very powerful, but she had never seen him in action before.


    Now, seeing Lu Tianxing effortlessly eliminate the short man with just one finger, Xue Bing’s heart felt as if a massive wave had surged through it. Could this be the true strength of this bastard? It’s terrifying! If he exerted a bit more force, would the short man have been left with no remains? Is this the true power of a top martial artist? No wonder the two guys from the Yanhuang Group would act like mice seeing a cat in his presence, not daring to show any disrespect.


    Lu Tianxing ignored the short man flying away and instead looked down at the dumbfounded Xue Bing, saying with a face full of frustration, "I tell you, Officer Xue, you really are a silly girl. If you’re not strong enough, don’t try to show off. This isn’t a cop and robber film where you can just confront the robbers head-on. This is life and deathbat. Without sufficient skills, facing them head-on is no different from courting death. This is the fourth lesson I’ll teach you: Martial artists don’t care about heroism. Surviving is what matters. Acting like this could get you killed."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Bing’s cheeks flushed. She realized she had made a major mistake inbat, but she still stubbornly retorted, "Who asked for your opinion? This is my fighting style, isn’t it? Besides, aren’t martial artists supposed to make breakthroughs in life-and-death crises? I’m just trying to push my limits, what’s wrong with that?"


    "Breakthrough your limits?"


    Lu Tianxing widened his eyes, looking at Xue Bing who was justifying herself, and said irritably, "Do you think it’s that easy to make a breakthrough in a life-and-death crisis? One wrong move and you’ll have no ce to be buried. You want to make a breakthrough in such a crisis? Wishful thinking! If I hadn’t intervened just now, by next year today, I might have had to apany your sister to bring flowers to your grave."


    "Lu Tianxing, you jinx! If I die, it would be your fault. Now let go of me."


    Xue Bing red at Lu Tianxing, quickly getting up from his embrace, a faint blush crossing her face. She realized, to her surprise, that she had be fond of being in Lu Tianxing’s arms.


    "Lu Tianxing, you didn’t really kill that guy, did you?"


    "Don’t worry, I know my limits. I just disabled one of his arms."


    Lu Tianxing took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, saying, "Officer Xue, what do you n to do next?"


    "Of course, I’ll call someone to take this guy back. He should face thew’s judgment," Xue Bing said solemnly.


    "Up to you."


    Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Bing and said, "Officer Xue, are your injuries okay?"


    "It’s nothing, just minor injuries."


    Xue Bing took a deep breath and said, "Lu Tianxing, thank you this time."


    "Officer Xue, no need to be so polite with me."


    Lu Tianxing chuckled and rubbed his fingers at Xue Bing, saying, "Officer Xue, look, I caught this guy for you. When are you going to fulfill your promise? I don’t need you to sleep with me. Just do a little hot dance in your police uniform in front of me. I haven’t seen a policewoman in a hot dance before!"


    "Lu Tianxing..."


    Hearing that, Xue Bing red at Lu Tianxing full of anger. The slight good impression she had just formed vanished instantly. This bastard is really a dog who can’t change his habit of eating shit.


    "Hehe, Officer Xue, don’t be angry. I don’t like forcing people. I’d like it if one day you voluntarilye running to me, crying and begging to dance for me."


    "Keep dreaming."


    "That day wille."


    "In your dreams! Even if you were thest man on earth, I wouldn’t do it."


    "Officer Xue, don’t be so full of yourself. If I were thest man on earth, there’d still be plenty of beauties lining up for me to choose from. By then, if you want to dance for me, you’d have to see if I’m in the mood, plus you’d have to queue up," Lu Tianxing said, pouting.


    "Go to hell, you damn pervert!"


    "I won’t be dying anytime soon! There are still plenty of beauties in this world waiting for me. If I were gone, they’d be left alone in empty rooms."


    Lu Tianxing observed the furious Xue Bing, but instead of fanning her anger, he changed the topic; "Alright, it’s gettingte. Officer Xue, I’ll leave this ce to you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."


    "Leaving...?" Xue Bing was slightly taken aback.


    "Of course, I’m leaving. I may enjoy seeing policewomen dance, but that doesn’t mean I like dealing with the police. Also, Officer Xue, don’t credit me for helping with the case. I don’t want to be disturbed by you all every day. I prefer peace and quiet. Alright, Officer Xue, I’m leaving now. If you have a change of mind, feel free to call me. My phone is on 24/7."


    With those words, Lu Tianxing waved at Xue Bing and turned to leave, leaving the matter here for Xue Bing to handle. After all, cleaning up is what the police are best at.


    Xue Bing watched Lu Tianxing’s back, and for some reason, she suddenly had the urge to call him back, but she couldn’t find the words to say, only watching helplessly as Lu Tianxing disappeared.


    It was only after Lu Tianxing hadpletely left the small courtyard that Xue Bing withdrew her gaze. She nced at the unconscious short man, then dug out a phone and called her chief.


    Half an hourter, a dozen police cars with sirens ring appeared here. Special police, armed police, and regr police were all mobilized to bring the suspect back to the station.


    That evening, the police held a grand press conference to announce the official resolution of the case, and Xue Bing became the headline in the newspapers, emerging as a rising star inw enforcement, even attracting a number of fans and admirers.


    Lu Tianxing saw all this on TV but felt nothing. For him, he craved a peaceful life rather than one exposed to public scrutiny. Being a celebrity might seem morous, but only those who experience it truly understand the pain behind it.


    ...


    Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed since Lu Tianxing returned to Modu. During this week, Lu Tianxing didn’t do much, asionally teasing Lan Xin or doing enjoyable things with Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. Though neither woman would deny him, Lu Tianxing was disappointed that Bai Zhiqing hadn’t suggested having Lin Qianru move in, but there was nothing he could do except console himself with the thought that good things take time.


    Today is a rare weekend. The zing sun hangs high in the sky, and though it’s alreadyte summer and early fall, the sunlight is still a bit harsh. Yet it doesn’t stop people from hitting the streets with enthusiasm.
