The shopkeeper looked at Lin Mu, shaking with anger. How could he not understand that this thousand yuan wasn’t for hospital fees at all, but a slap-on-the-face fee!

The reasoning was simple: earlier, he insulted Lin Mu for not having a hundred yuan, and now, Lin Mu paid a thousand just to slap him in the face. Whether or not it was a slap in the actual sense, the shopkeeper’s old face was definitely feeling it. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Seeing the situation, it seemed like the shopkeeper wouldn’t be able to do business for the next few days. His mouth was beaten so badly, he couldn’t possibly face anyone!

You could say this sleazy shopkeeper was full of rage, but he was helpless. No matter how big the grievance, he could only swallow it. He couldn’t outfight Lin Mu, so continuing to cause trouble would just be embarrassing.

"Haha, remember this in the future: as long as you’re a seller, your status will always be humbler than the customer’s. Remember, the customer is God. Never try to act superior in front of God! Otherwise, you’ll end up like today!" Lin Mu said as he pulled Man Luo away from the scene.

Once they were out of the mall, Lin Mu and Man Luo got back into the car. "That shopkeeper was simply a scoundrel. Damn it! He didn’t know any better, cursing left and right. He deserved a beating," Man Luo said indignantly, as she sat in the car, still seething from the insult she had received earlier.

Lin Mu had long since let go of his anger. Getting angry with this kind of trash wasn’t worth it at all. Because as long as you live in this world, there will always be some trash popping up around you. The only choice you have is to ignore them. Otherwise, getting angry with trash isn’t worth it! Trash is never valuable, and if you bother calculating with them, you just lower yourself.

"Hey, girl, isn’t this unlike you?" Lin Mu said, looking at Man Luo.

Man Luo frowned and asked, "How is it not like me?"

"Well, based on your previous character, if someone dared talk to us like that, you would’ve already taken them down. But today, you seem pretty calm," Lin Mu said with a chuckle.

I must say, Man Luo had indeed changed slowly. From being utterly indifferent, she now occasionally smiled, even joked sometimes. From not liking shopping, now she enjoys it like a regular girl, bargaining fiercely while at it. The biggest change was her temperament. If it had been the old Man Luo, that shopkeeper might not be alive today.

But Man Luo hadn’t made a move, which surprised Lin Mu. Given her previous personality, the shopkeeper would have been left disabled.

Man Luo shrugged helplessly and changed the subject, "Alright, we’ve bought everything we needed. It’s getting late, let’s go eat."

"Okay, as you say, let’s go have a feast!" Lin Mu laughed.

Just as he finished speaking, Man Luo pouted at Lin Mu, signaling ahead.

Lin Mu looked ahead and was also a bit helpless. Damn, how are today’s cops like eagles? Watching wherever you go, it’s simply speechless.

Moreover, Lin Mu was quite familiar with this person. It was none other than Zhou Jiande, who Lin Mu had tossed away as trash yesterday.

"Hey, girl, take a break in the car while I go chat with him," Lin Mu said to Man Luo.

Man Luo nodded, "Okay, go on."

Anyway, the sky wasn’t dark yet, so there was no rush for dinner.

Lin Mu opened the car door, got out, and walked towards Zhou Jiande.

At that moment, Zhou Jiande had only brought two officers with him. Lin Mu was puzzled, had he not learned his lesson from last time? If they wanted to arrest him, shouldn’t they bring more people?

"Captain Zhou, still not giving up?" Lin Mu approached Zhou Jiande with a smile.

Zhou Jiande didn’t crack a smile, but maintained a serious expression, "Lin Mu, this is a law-governed society."

"Of course, I know this is a law-governed society," Lin Mu said, spreading his hands.

"Then how dare you commit assault in broad daylight?" Zhou Jiande looked at Lin Mu.

Zhou Jiande had come after receiving a report call, unaware that it was Lin Mu beforehand. Thus, he only brought two subordinates. Upon arrival, he found out the perpetrator was Lin Mu.

"Oh, so you’re here for that shop issue, huh? Yeah, I did it, no denial. I beat him up, but that guy deserved it. Looking down on others with dog eyes, I just taught him a little lesson. He should be grateful to me," Lin Mu chuckled.

"Assaulting someone is illegal. You need to come with me to the station for an investigation. If you resist, it will only add to your charges. Don’t let this get out of hand. No matter how great your martial arts are, you’ll never be invincible against government power," Zhou Jiande said sternly.

Looking at Zhou Jiande, Lin Mu chuckled, "Hehe, considering you’re a decent cop, I won’t hit you. Though you’re a bit annoying, you’re still a hundred times better than Liu Dacheng. So, you can leave. I need to have dinner with my wife. I won’t bother you."

Zhou Jiande watched Lin Mu wave so magnanimously, finding it amusing. Though he was there to trouble Lin Mu, it felt like the tables were turned, as if Lin Mu were letting him off. Even after assault, Lin Mu said he wouldn’t bother with him?

Zhou Jiande had never encountered someone like Lin Mu before.

"Lin Mu, I think you’re mistaken. You assaulted someone; we’re taking you back for investigation," Zhou Jiande said, looking at Lin Mu.

"Investigate what? Didn’t I already admit it was me? What’s left to investigate?" Lin Mu shrugged.

"Since you did it, you need to come back with me for a statement," Zhou Jiande insisted, as if determined to take Lin Mu back to the station.

Lin Mu helplessly looked askance, "You’re not mistaken, are you? Go ask for a statement from whoever called, why bother with me?"

"According to regulations, as the person involved, you must come with us for a statement," Zhou Jiande insisted, looking somewhat helpless.

Lin Mu nodded, "Oh, so that’s how it is."

Zhou Jiande saw Lin Mu nodding and assumed Lin Mu agreed to go to the station with him, waving him to move along, "Alright then, let’s go back."

"Sorry, my wife is hungry, so I must dine with her first. I’ll come to the station when I’m free. Don’t rush! If you can’t wait, just find someone else to take a statement. There were witnesses," Lin Mu laughed.

Hearing Lin Mu’s words, Zhou Jiande couldn’t help but feel frustrated. What kind of person was this, almost like the world’s biggest oddball!

"Do you really think eating is more important than our duty?" Zhou Jiande questioned Lin Mu.
