Chapter 008 Thief's Revenge_1

"Since their paths didn't intersect, Yan Yan was the first to get off, and Lv Zhong changed buses to Computer City.

Lv Zhong didn't pay any particular attention to the thief.

As it was early, Computer City had only just recently opened, and there weren't many people inside.

Upon reaching the third floor, Lv Zhong headed straight to a familiar storefront.

It was a store owned by Xiao Ming, the older brother of his buddy Xiao Fei. Lv Zhong had visited the store several times with Xiao Fei and was relatively familiar with Xiao Ming. At this moment,

Xiao Ming was idly playing 'Landlord' on a computer.

"Hi Brother Ming!" Seeing Xiao Ming across the desk, Lv Zhong greeted him with a smile, took off his laptop bag, and handed it over, "My computer is broken, could you please take a look..."

"Hehe, it's Little Zhong. Your final exam performance must have been good!" Xiao Ming said with a mild laugh, taking the laptop bag from Lv Zhong.

"Don't mention it. I did terribly this time. Xiao Fei, on the other hand, did very well." Lv Zhong gave a grin, not making a big deal out of his final exam grade. Now that Lv Zhong, with his recovered divine soul, was confident in scoring well in his future exams.

Upon hearing Lv Zhong mention Xiao Fei, Xiao Ming's face displayed a happy smile. Xiao Fei's place in City No.1 High School, and standing out in the key class made their family very proud and excited. This time, Xiao Fei scored 588 points. It was very good. Moreover, with four months until the college entrance exam, there was still a lot of room for improvement for Xiao Fei's grades.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Ming opened Lv Zhong's laptop, meticulously examined it, and then said, " Little Zhong, your computer's motherboard's power supply and several chips are burnt. It's troublesome to fix, better replace the board!"

"The motherboard's burnt? It's going to cost quite a bit!" Lv Zhong frowned saying, "Brother Ming, replace it with a cheap secondhand motherboard for me. I'll just use it as it comes."

"I have exactly the same model motherboard as your laptop, and it's in good condition. 50 yuan will do. It's secondhand, so it was cheaper when I got it." Xiao Ming laughed.

50?

"Brother Ming, the price is so low? Don't make a loss." Lv Zhong shook his head slightly, he didn't understand the computer parts market. However, Lv Zhong was sure that at other stores, even 300 yuan probably wouldn't get him a similar motherboard. If it was brand new, he probably couldn't get one even with seven to eight hundred yuan.

Xiao Ming suddenly lowered his voice, "Little Zhong, don't fuss. This secondhand part is indeed not worth much. Charging you 50 yuan won't make me a loss. Rest assured, the selling price of secondhand parts is often inflated..."

Seeing Xiao Ming like this, Lv Zhong understood a bit and didn't refuse, "Alright then. Thank you, Brother Ming."

"No need to be courteous with me." Xiao Ming rolled his eyes at Lv Zhong, " Sit down and play a few games of 'Landlord' with me while I fix your computer, then I'll call you."

"Alright!" Lv Zhong replied readily.

More than twenty minutes later, Xiao Ming effortlessly fixed Lv Zhong's computer.

After paying the money, Lv Zhong exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Ming and left Computer City.

There are several bus stops for Bus 1 near Computer City. However, the Jiefang Road area is too busy, and with too many people, it is not easy to get on the bus. Lv Zhong carried his laptop bag towards the bus stop near Pioneer Wharf.

"Third Brother, the kid has just come out of Computer City. He seems to be going home. Now he's walking from Pioneer Road to Xiangjiang South Road, he'll probably get on at the stop near the Pioneer Wharf..." Unbeknownst to Lv Zhong, a teenager of about seventeen or eighteen trailed him from a distance. This teenager was grimacing while talking on the phone with someone.

"Understood…" A relatively cold voice came from the phone.

***************

Although there weren't many people getting on at this stop, Bus 1 starts from the High Speed Railway Station. With the new year approaching, the bus was full of people. Although Lv Zhong got on the bus, he wasn't able to find a seat.

There were too many people on the bus, and even though Lv Zhong was a little uncomfortable being crammed, there was nothing he could do. He calmly stood near the handrail near the bus door.

People got on and off continuously. In this process, the bus slowly moved through several stops.

"With this speed, it probably will take 40 minutes to get to the stop at Nuclear Unit Six. Then after changing to Bus 8, it will be another bumpy ride for tens of minutes."

Lv Zhong frowned, near new year time, taking the bus was truly a painful experience.

"Forget it, I'll just browse Lv Yue's memories. It will help me kill time." Leaning against the stainless steel pipe, Lv Zhong closed his eyes slightly, immersing his thoughts into the ocean of memories left by Lv Yue.

"Thief, he's a thief, I saw him stealing your wallet." An angry voice suddenly reverberated next to Lv Zhong.

For a moment, all the people in the carriage turned their attention towards Lv Zhong.

Because the voice was so loud, Lv Zhong was immediately startled, and found a young man his size looking at him with outrage, pointing his finger at Lv Zhong.

This young man was wearing a black leather jacket and his face was full of acne.

And next to this acne-faced guy, there were four or five people looking at Lv Zhong with ill intentions.

"It's him, he's really the thief. He stole your wallet." The acne-faced teenager seemed 'righteously indignant' and kept shouting loudly.

"Hand it over, hand over my wallet quickly!" A woman in her twenties grabbed Lv Zhong's arm and made a ruckus.

"Call the police! Call the police, everyone, we can't let this despicable thief escape. Let's catch him and take him to the police station..." A burly man squeezed over to where Lv Zhong was, and loudly declared his intentions.

"I'm the thief?" Lv Zhong was immediately incensed, and his face quickly hardened.

These guys were obviously trying to frame him!

At that moment, Lv Zhong recognized that these people were very likely to be connected to the man with the injured eye he had dealt with in the morning!

What a "perfect frame-up"!

And they wanted to take him to the police station too?

What a perfect use of the saying "fight fire with fire"!

Lv Zhong was furious!

He also realized that the acne-faced teenager who called him a thief was a person he had seen before on Bus 8 in the morning. At that time, Lv Zhong had used his penetrating vision to find Yan Yan's wallet, and had thoroughly scanned everyone on the bus.

With Lv Zhong's current memory strength, he wouldn't forget that person was on the bus!

It seems that these guys were indeed hired by the eye-injured man to take revenge on him!

Lv Zhong's chilling gaze scanned these people a few times, and with a shake of his arms, the woman who was grabbing his arm felt a powerful force and immediately squealed in pain. Her hands involuntarily released their grip, and she staggered towards the burly man.

" Damn thief, so arrogant. After stealing and assaulting a woman, isn't anyone going to do anything? Get him..." After helping the woman to her feet, the burly man roared and swung a punch at Lv Zhong. "
