Vol. 1 - Ch. 124 - Time to send you guys in!

At midday, the heat kept most people off the streets, leaving the area quieter than usual.

HuMing turned a corner onto a relatively deserted street, intending to sit down and grab a meal in front of a small shop. But suddenly, the van behind him swung open, and several burly men jumped out, rushing towards HuMing.

The sight stunned the people eating nearby.

Without saying a word, the men moved in to grab HuMing.

The onlookers were shocked, but Lu GuiFang hurriedly got out of the van before panic could spread further and called out:

"Sorry for scaring you all. This is my son. He's been addicted to online games, and I'm having him taken to one of those schools to cure internet addiction."

Her words sparked various reactions from the bystanders, some even raising their voices:

"Are you serious? Haven't you seen the news? Those schools are dangerous; many kids have died in them."

"It's fine, I know my child."

Noticing that the crowd didn't seem inclined to call the police. She felt a sense of relief.

But just as she turned back to look at HuMing, the sight before her left her stunned.

HuMing was stepping on one of the men, his gaze icy as he surveyed the others.

The remaining men hesitated, no longer daring to make a move. They had watched with their own eyes as this teenager effortlessly subdued their companion.

And the most unnerving part was that HuMing didn't seem to have exerted much effort.

Calmly, HuMing pulled out his phone from his pocket and called the police.

Seeing this, the men panicked and rushed forward to try and stop him.

Holding the phone in one hand, HuMing grabbed a jar of chili sauce from the nearby table and flung it into one of the men's faces.

The man instinctively covered his eyes, but in the next moment, he let out a pained scream, clutching his legs and collapsing to the ground.

As the remaining men tried to grab HuMing, he targeted the nearest one, lifting a bench and striking him across the head. The man staggered, unable to withstand HuMing's forceful blows, and retreated.

But HuMing swiftly moved behind him, landing a solid kick that sent him sprawling.

Keeping his phone to his ear, he said calmly, "Hello, I'd like to report a situation. Someone is attempting to kidnap me, and my safety is being threatened. I am currently engaging in self-defense."

His tone was steady, not at all like someone who had just been in a fight.

Everyone present was left in disbelief.

This was a high school student! He not only held his ground against a group of large men but also fought back!

Some people couldn't help but cheer for him, while others began recording and posting it online.

Lu GuiFang was on the verge of a breakdown. She never expected HuMing to be capable of fending off these men! Zhao Wei, beside her, turned pale as if realizing something dreadful.

"Han HuMing, what are you doing? Rebelling? I'm doing this for your own good!" Lu GuiFang shouted, her accusations shameless.

HuMing responded with a cold smile. "Don't worry. I'll make sure you're taken care of soon."

His voice dropped as he glanced at the remaining men, the smile fading from his face.

"You just believed her because she said she was my mom? It doesn't matter now. Since things have come to this, none of you are getting away." He shook his hands out, his expression unfazed.

"You all hide behind the guise of curing internet addiction while harming countless students, even skipping the proper legal procedures to abduct people. Since you enjoy breaking the law so much, I'll ensure you're all locked up together."

The burly men exchanged uneasy looks, their expressions growing more uncertain.

Lu GuiFang had indeed bypassed any proper paperwork when hiring them to capture HuMing. But she had promised a hefty payment, insisting that everything would be fine. Lured by the money, they had agreed to this illegal act.

Now, hearing HuMing's words, they finally realized that this was far more serious than they had anticipated!

Seeing the situation turning against them, the burly men hastily dragged their fallen companion back to the van and attempted to flee.

Before they drove off, they shoved Zhao Wei out of the vehicle.

He fell hard to the ground, sprawling face-first in an embarrassing fashion.

Quickly scrambling to his feet, Zhao Wei rushed over to HuMing, trying to explain.

"HuMing, let us explain, we---"

"Explain what? Isn't everything you've done already clear for everyone to see?" HuMing glanced at the crowd, their phones raised, recording the scene. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was only then that Zhao Wei realized this must have been a trap set by HuMing.

Meanwhile, Lu GuiFang fumed with frustration over their failed plan.

She was convinced that HuMing couldn't possibly get her locked up, believing that her status as his biological mother gave her the right to do whatever she wished with him.

More importantly, she still had Han ShuYi on her side. If things went south, surely Han ShuYi would bail them out just as he had before.

After all, Han ShuYi was the true heir of the Han family, while HuMing was not.

HuMing paid them no further attention. He turned back to the shopkeeper, scanning a QR code and transferring 500 yuan to the vendor, apologizing for the disturbance.

This gesture quickly won over the onlookers, who started to see him in a much more positive light. How could a polite and considerate teenager like this be the internet-addicted delinquent that the couple described? Clearly, something else was going on.

The police arrived soon after, with two squad cars pulling up to the scene.

After questioning HuMing and a few witnesses, they took Zhao Wei, Lu GuiFang, and HuMing into the police cars.

As she was being taken away, Lu GuiFang continued to shout,

"He's my son! What's wrong with disciplining him? Is that illegal now?"

"HuMing, treating your parents like this, you'll come to no good end!"

Her words grew nastier with each sentence, filled with bitterness.

Even the nearby officers couldn't tolerate it, ordering her to stop before she finally fell silent.

HuMing, however, remained calm, sitting in the police car without a word.

...

"Holy crap, did you hear? HuMing just got into a fight with his biological parents, and the police took him away!"

Ye QiuXue was about to head home after failing to find HuMing when she overheard people talking about the incident outside.

Her eyes widened, and she immediately took out her phone to call HuMing.

But he didn't answer.

Her heart raced, anxiety building inside her.

She quickly dialed Han YunXi's number, relieved when she answered promptly.

"Ye QiuXue? What's the matter?"

"Did your brother come home yet?"

"No, he hasn't. Why?"

"Your brother's in the police station!"
