I Have a Dice Left by a God
Chapter 579 - 171: Big Fool
Around the time Lu Shuai was deceived while rescuing someone, the Celestial Principle School published multiple scholars’ articles, specifically exploring what justice is, what kindness is. Not every act of kindness leads to a good outcome, but one shouldn’t kick someone when they’re down for being kind. This is conscience; conscience is the foundation of a warm and harmonious society. If everyone faces others’ suffering with cold indifference, where would justice and fairness come from? What would the city become?
The Celestial Principle School used various angles to demonstrate their prowess in Dragon Capital, which was indeed a great help.
Comparing the three major newspapers, some people calmed down a bit. One who sells his ancestral home to save another can’t be all that bad. Even if it’s for Miss Tang, that carries significant weight. You can call him love-struck, frivolous, but definitely not sleazy. He’s a conscientious fool.
Foolish?
Actually, upon reflection, one knows that in facing scams like this, concern leads to chaos. How many can see through it? Since ancient times, many scammers have exploited relatives’ worries to swindle money.
The Citizen Daily and Celestial Principle Academy’s reports finally saved Lu Shuai’s life, but people’s anger hasn’t subsided. After all, in the Justice Daily and Flying Bird Daily reports, it was still infuriating.
Hating scammers, hating the world, there’s a deep-seated anger in people’s hearts that can’t be vented. Why are good people always so unlucky? Why should such young children face such things? Meng Po kneeling step by step with hope, bashing her head and scraping her knees, while the dazed child wipes Meng Po’s face—the photo pains countless hearts.
In the safe house, Lu Shuai finished reading the newspapers Huerta brought. He made sure Huerta bought all three copies and stayed up another night.
After reading the newspapers, Lu Shuai sighed in relief, "Luckily, luckily, there’s no Miss Tang."
Huerta hesitated to speak; that woman, really, truly... a seductive woman, the retro path’s seductive woman is a jinx, bringing men misfortune.
"Governor, be sober, forget about your Miss Tang. I’m beginning to suspect she ran away intentionally!" Huerta couldn’t hold it anymore.
Lu Shuai stroked his stubble, smiling weakly, "Old Hu, don’t blame Miss Tang. She rejected me many times. I’ve always persisted. You know, honestly, I don’t regret it that much, haha."
Huerta was stunned, "Are you crazy!"
"That’s love, I’m not a good guy either. I deserve this. Old Hu, I’m fine now. You go back, let me stay alone for a while to calm down." Lu Shuai replied. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"No way, you need someone with you!" Huerta shook his head like a rattle, worried for Lu Shuai.
"I won’t do anything drastic."
"No way!"
"You’re annoying, you know that?"
"I don’t care, you do what you want, I’m not leaving!"
"Get lost!"
"No way, you can’t beat me anyway. I advise you to stay put. Secretary Kathy and Brother Li will surely have a solution!"
...
The Citizen Daily initiated a donation drive, with journalists and staff holding donation boxes on the streets. This was proposed by the Celestial Principle Academy, all students mobilized.
"Sir, sir, please stop, could you show some kindness to save a hero’s orphan? He urgently needs money to survive." On the street, Lin Xueyin also held a donation box. She donated all her pocket money, rejected many times, but succeeded also many times.
With each success, she felt strength and determination.
This is a Unity of Knowledge and Action, and also a Dedication to Conscience.
Thoughts need to align with actions.
The uproar around this event continues to spread. The three major newspapers are clearly not changing their views. Justice Daily is relatively moderate, without an absolute standpoint, while Citizen Daily and Flying Bird Daily continue battling, the Flying Bird concocts stories about men and women, Citizen Daily’s Celestial Principle section shows its prowess, but the Flying Bird has the slight upper hand.
Preconceptions are like mountains.
Huerta stays guard at the safe house with Lu Shuai every day, meals are delivered, he won’t leave. They’ve shared food and sleep before, the room filled with bottles, and the Saxon people’s drinking capacity is strong, a few won’t bother Lu Shuai.
Better to let Lu Shuai drink more than dwell on thoughts.
Li Xin used dice for a judgment: the scammer is still in Dragon Capital.
But the dice spun pointlessly.
Li Xin hesitated a long time for the second judgment, reluctant to judge those around him. Judgment is suspicion; he didn’t know how other Life Masters or Prophets handled it, but he thought being so skeptical wasn’t good.
But why did Tang Yinxiao, being a seductive woman, involve Lu Shuai if she truly wanted to refuse, there would be a way. Intuitively, Tang Yinxiao seemed a serious and just Night Patrol, wouldn’t act this way, so he didn’t act. Yet, it ended like this.
Second judgment: Tang Yinxiao deliberately attracted Lu Shuai.
Li Xin gazed at the dice, which provided an effective judgment, nine points.
Li Xin’s heart sank too. Sister Kathy was right; he underestimated human malice. To rescue the sweets, Night Patrol alone wouldn’t suffice. He found two materials; they wouldn’t easily target him, especially with Secretary Kathy in the background. At this point, Lu Shuai appeared, and Tang Chendan targeted him.
She actually succeeded but fell victim to a scammer, leading to failure.
How to face Tang Yinxiao is Lu Shuai’s choice, but given current circumstances, it’s inappropriate to rub salt into Lu Shuai’s wounds.
At the Divine Revelation Canon Law School, Lu Shuai’s matter has become a daily topic among students during breaks.
The Potter Family has already published in Justice Daily to dissociate themselves from Lu Shuai. Essentially stating Luthor was a son-in-law, and Lu Shuai is a distant relative. Don’t falsely associate; anyone who tarnishes Potter Family’s honor will pay dearly.
"He came to me, I refused outright," said Feili during the Black Rose afternoon tea break, everyone was present, the latest Hex Bird Report everywhere.
"Miss Feili is insightful. This fool always seemed absent-minded, but didn’t expect such foolishness. I heard overseas Hex Bird Report covered it extensively. Governor Luthor was wise all his life, didn’t expect posthumously stung by him."
"Wonder which fool bought his house, now it’s a hot potato."
"Fools are naturally paired with fools."
Surrounded by coffee, spirits lifted, gossip makes the best afternoon tea atmosphere, Patir awkwardly smiles, Lu Shuai’s pitfall this time is severe.
If word got out that she bought the house, she’d earn the nickname "big-chested and brainless", indelible even over a lifetime.
Furious.
