434 Assault

Tang Wulin cracked a bitter smile, drawing his limbs closer to his body in a show of submission. "I'm sorry, uncle enforcement officer, I made a mistake. Please don't bring me in. I promise I won't do this ever again!"

Ye Xinglan was splitting her sides with laughter. This guy…

The enforcement officer snorted. "The Spirit Pagoda's rules are strict and you will not get any special treatment. Come with me. Don't worry. You just have to explain your story properly and have your teacher come get you. Your punishment won't be too harsh."

Tang Wulin looked up and flashed his large doe eyes. "How much is not 'too harsh'?"

The enforcement officer was growing impatient. "At best, you'll just be fined."

"Fined?" Tang Wulin's voice rose an octave. "I have no money, but I do have my life! Money is my life! You can get it over my dead body!" Tang Wulin turned tail and sprinted away, his shouts trailing after him like an old robe.
