Cui Ming coughed to remind the two women of his presence, then adjusted his clothing and said, "Zhao Wei, the situation is as follows: you have two choices. The first option is to be captured and sent to Force Prison, which is said to be nearly impossible to escape from, even for cultivators. The second option is to sign this contract and fulfill its terms." He pulled out a document.
Evelyn gasped, "Cui Ming, what are you doing?"
"My boss needs people," Cui Ming replied. Who else could be the best employee of the year?
Zhao Wei looked at the document; it was a labor contract. She looked at Cui Ming in confusion. "How are you going to help me?"
"I can block her. If she attacks a hostage, it would be against the law."
Evelyn threatened, "Cui Ming, then I can only arrest you."
"Sheriff, you can only arrest me if I help a fugitive escape, right? And that kind of arrest doesn't fall under Force Alliance jurisdiction. As a cultivator, I have certain privileges in Dawn City." Cui Ming turned to Zhao Wei. "You should be clear about the pros and cons; joining us has no downsides... When I deduced it was you, I did some research and found out you're a trustworthy and beautiful girl who keeps her promises."
Zhao Wei looked at Cui Ming and said, "Get away."
"Ah?" Cui Ming was taken aback for a moment.
"I said get away." Zhao Wei pushed Cui Ming aside and faced Evelyn. "I hate clever men; come on, let's settle this."
"You don't stand a chance. If you don't agree, it'll be two against one," Cui Ming said as he pulled out a card. "I will bravely stand on the side of justice."
Zhao Wei replied, "I told you, I hate being toyed with. I'd rather face Evelyn head-on."
Had he picked up the wrong script? According to the script, if Zhao Wei wasn't foolish, she should cooperate with him to escape this predicament first. With her charges, although they weren't under Force Alliance's jurisdiction, she would still face at least ten years in prison. Why make things harder for herself? Why not negotiate?
Zhao Wei said, "Cui Ming, there's one thing you got wrong: I do have limits; I have pride inside me. I'd rather face her than let you succeed."
Cui Ming smiled wryly. "So I just take a beating for nothing?"
Before Zhao Wei could respond, Evelyn interjected, "Zhao Wei, I'll give you a third option. You consider yourself the best criminal. In my understanding, the best criminal can also become the best police officer. I know you have a sense of justice and a hero complex; otherwise, you wouldn't have dared to save the miners from Gang's clutches. You can have your own stage without being a bad person; you can become a police officer. I can pardon your crimes as long as you're willing to serve Dawn City. Of course, if you think you're worse than other criminals and are afraid to accept this assignment, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Cui Ming quickly added, "She's trying to provoke you."
“Zhao Wei, you are just an ordinary wanted criminal. In Dawn City, there are also wanted criminals from the Force Alliance. Do you really only want to spar with the inexperienced ordinary cultivator Cui Ming? Or do you only want to face me, who is alone? Don’t you want to prove your worth in front of the most ruthless criminals of these alliances? You can leave at any time if you feel you cannot face these criminals, or if you are defeated by them. Alternatively, you can wait until you capture a wanted criminal from the alliance and prove your worth before leaving.”
Paralysis, this woman would be wasted as a politician.
Zhao Wei looked at Evelyn and after a long pause said, “I have one condition: I will not follow anyone's orders.”
“Of course, as long as you don’t break the law.”
“I will come to the police station to find you tomorrow.”
Evelyn smiled, put away her gun, and left without a hint of hesitation.
Left with Cui Ming and Zhao Wei, Cui Ming chuckled awkwardly, “Heh, congratulations on being recruited.” What a terrible script; his current situation was not looking good.
Zhao Wei replied seriously, “This time I did not lose to Evelyn; I lost to you.”
“All brothers under heaven, why bother talking about winning or losing?”
“I’m leaving.”
“Wait.” Cui Ming said, “Can you give me a ride back to Dawn City?”
Zhao Wei looked at Cui Ming for a moment. “Let’s go.”
Cui Ming went to release a few people from the farm. Zhao Wei waited for him to get in the car and snorted coldly, “A man dawdling like this; are you worried that Evelyn won’t let you go?”
“Who says I’m a man? I’m a woman.” Cui Ming replied nonchalantly, looking at Zhao Wei. “No pain, no gain.”
“What do you mean?”
“I told you to wear a police uniform; now you've really become a police officer.”
“Hmph!”
“Zhao Wei, we met for the first time and we’re not familiar with each other, but I find two things incredible. First, why do you say that once you decide to be a police officer, you must commit wholeheartedly? Second, why do you oppose the excellent conditions I offered and choose to be a police officer instead?”
“For the first point, Evelyn is right. I have no challenges left in the Eastern Continent; I've been bored for a long time. Becoming a police officer can provide me with a new stage. As for the second point…” Zhao Wei glanced at Cui Ming. “Our Gang has its own bottom line; we will not harm our companions and friends.”
Cui Ming didn't understand, "Does this have anything to do with my question?"
Zhao Wei, with one hand on the wheel and the other gripping Cui Ming's chin to pull her closer, said, "You better be careful." Now that we are companions, I can't take personal revenge anymore.
What’s going on? Cui Ming pushed Zhao Wei's hand away. What’s wrong with women these days? Eva was acting all dramatic, and here you are, so concerned about her. Do you even know what modesty means? Cui Ming said, "How about we get out of the car now? I’ll let you hit me again."
Zhao Wei lit a cigarette, holding it in his mouth while resting his left arm on the window and steering with his right hand. He replied while driving, "I’m a police officer now. I know people like you best; sooner or later, you'll end up in my hands."
"Know what?"
"People like you are timid, value your lives too much, and resort to petty tricks. Even the most ordinary things, you try to outsmart others, thinking that gaining a small advantage is a victory."
Cui Ming scoffed, "You police officers can only catch brawny criminals, like in the Museum Theft Case. Can you solve that?"
The so-called Museum Theft Case was a sensational incident unrelated to practitioners that occurred in Dawn City. Three days ago, the museum was broken into, and the crown of the Twelfth Emperor of Chuxiao was stolen. The media had almost grasped all the clues that the police had through their investigations. Cui Ming continued, "There are three suspects in this case: a security guard, an administrator, and the curator. However, none of them could have taken the crown out of the museum; it’s suspected they colluded with outsiders to carry out the theft. But due to legal and evidential reasons, the police can almost confirm that it was the administrator who did it. Unfortunately, they can't arrest him."
