Chapter 31 Who Can Endure This Injustice?!
"You're asking for death!"
Hearing this, the thief instinctively wanted to turn his head to see which fool wanted to catch him.
However, before he could do anything,
he felt his arm being clamped down like it was in a vise, rendering him immobile. At the same time, his knee was bumped hard, and a powerful force pushed him from behind.
"Thud--!"
The thief fell heavily to the ground.
A strong man, wearing a casual jacket on top and dark gray slacks on the bottom, firmly pressed the thief's arms to the ground, kneeling on one knee with his knee digging into the thief's waist.
"Damn it!!!"
The thief struggled angrily but quickly realized that his strength was no match for the person pinning him down. It was a total waste of effort!
Frustrated, he gritted his teeth and tried to lift his upper body, twisting his neck as much as he could. Finally, he managed to see the person holding him down.
Their eyes met!
His eyes were filled with malice, and with a flushed face, he grinned sinisterly and said, "Kid, I can see you clearly. Even if I'm caught, I'll just serve three years at most. When I get out, you better be careful. But if you let me go now, I'll..."
"Shut up!"
The man pressing down on the thief cut him off sharply. After disarming the thief and removing the knife from his hand, he pinned the thief's hands with one hand and unzipped his jacket with the other.
Suddenly!
A sky-blue uniform was revealed.
It was a police uniform!
"If I were afraid of people like you seeking revenge, I wouldn't be a cop!"
Thief: ...
Originally, seeing the man holding him down using only one hand, the thief had thought about trying to break free. But the instant he saw the police uniform, he felt utterly subdued. The very thought of resisting evaporated, and he didn't even dare to make a sound, let alone continue with his threats.
At the same time,
the passengers, having seen the police uniform, found their backbone, and their morale soared!
"Quick, quick, help the officer hold down this thief!"
"Damn it, who are you trying to scare with that knife?!"
"You ran right into it, huh?"
"..."
As they spoke, they rushed forward and pinned the thief firmly to the ground.
The officer, now free, quickly took out his phone and called his colleague: "Xiao Zhang, it's me. I was on my way home to pick up some things and ran into a thief threatening passengers with a knife. He's been subdued, now heading to Taoyuan Station..."
After a couple of brief sentences, he hung up the phone. He then squatted beside the thief and searched him, finding only a wallet. After confirming and returning it to the unfortunate owner, the officer frowned slightly, glanced at Lin Beichen, and then questioned the thief sternly, "Where did you hide the stuff you stole from this student?!"
Thief: ?
He wanted to steal from him!
The thief, losing his earlier arrogance, protested with an aggrieved look: "Officer, I intended to steal, but I didn't succeed!"
"Still lying?!" The officer's face turned stern, "You've been moving around behind this student for a long time. You clearly look like a habitual thief. If you didn't succeed, how can you call yourself a thief?"
Thief: ???
It's not like he didn't want to succeed! Now even his professionalism was being questioned? Even though the profession itself wasn't respectable!
Where's the justice in this?!
He felt like crying but had no tears, and argued: "Officer, even if I'm a thief, you can't slander me! I really didn't manage to steal anything from him. This kid is really weird, like he's leaking electricity. Every time I touch him, I get shocked! I couldn't get my hands on anything!"
Everyone: ??
For a moment, all eyes turned to Lin Beichen.
The passengers looked skeptical, thinking the thief was just making excuses for his failure. Who could constantly carry electricity on them?
The classmates wore expressions of surprise. Are you kidding, man? What, did you become the Thunder King? Are you carrying static electricity on you all the time?
Feeling all the eyes on him, Lin Beichen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. If he could foresee this situation, he would have preferred to just hand the thief his phone as soon as he got on the bus!
What carelessness!
Although he had only recently discovered that he was carrying electricity, Lin Beichen was already aware of the inconvenience and trouble it brought. He was increasingly desperate to resolve this issue.
Better settle this quickly!
Then go home and continue meditating!
...
Pretending to be clueless, Lin Beichen shrugged, indicating he didn't understand what the thief was saying. Then he fumbled through his pockets and said to the officer, "Uncle police officer, this thief might be spouting nonsense, but my things are all here. Nothing's been stolen."
Thief: ????
Who's spouting nonsense?!
That's the truth!
He felt like his lungs were going to explode. This kid's words were infuriating!
But before he could say anything, the officer spoke first: "It's good that nothing was stolen."
The officer smiled gently and didn't bother to investigate the thief's claims. He was a seasoned cop and had heard too many excuses from thieves trying to explain their actions. He didn't take it to heart at all.
Seeing that no one in the bus took his words seriously, the thief felt a tear of regret fall in his heart.
No one believed him!
Just because he was a thief, did that mean he couldn't be trusted?
He was a thief, not a liar!
...
Unable to bear the injustice, he secretly vowed that once he got out of jail, he'd turn over a new leaf and never be a thief again.
This profession...
It's truly aggravating!
Soon, the bus arrived at Taoyuan Station.
A police car was already waiting there.
The officer took the knife and the thief and finally brought this event to an end.
"What a thrill, encountering something like this while riding a bus!"
"My heart is still pounding!"
"Hey? I saw you recording with your phone just now. Send it to me, I want to post it on my Moments." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"..."
The passengers were still excited, chattering nonstop.
At this moment, Li Yang looked at Lin Beichen and said, "Brother Chen, you seem to have static electricity on you all the time. What's going on? Doesn't it need to be checked out at the hospital?"
With this prompt, the other classmates turned their eyes to Lin Beichen, looking curious.
Lin Beichen spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "What's there to go to the hospital for? Maybe it's just the clothes I'm wearing today, generating static electricity. I'll change my clothes later, and it should be fine."
Sounds logical!
The classmates, feeling it made sense, didn't think much of it anymore.
Soon, the bus arrived at Qingquan District station.
Qingquan District was where Lin Beichen's home was.
Lin Beichen waved goodbye to his classmates and hurried home. After greeting his parents, he locked himself in his bedroom and immediately began meditating.
In the "Illusion Becomes Reality" envisioning.
The dense arcs of electricity still resembled a web.
He continued trying to direct the arcs to the "expand" position.
Failed!
Repeatedly, it still failed!
...
Over and over, day after day!
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and the nearly three-month holiday had just over twenty days left!
During this time, Lin Beichen had completely turned into a homebody, not even leaving the house when his friends called him to hang out. He stayed in his room, studying how to eliminate the electricity on him.
But the outcome...
He was making no progress!
He had tried many methods, but in the end, he felt his initial idea was correct, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.
He simply couldn't envision the arcs moving!
"What should I do?"
"There's only a little over twenty days left until school starts..."
"I can't go to college with this electricity all over me, right?"
"I can't just stay in my room forever, can I?"
