I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon - Chapter 405
Chapter 405: Anything Could Happen
Carrying his cat, Ling Ping’an walked to the parking lot of the airport bus.
This place was opposite the airport.
Ling Ping’an followed the crowd and walked in.
He soon understood the meaning of his plate.
The buses at the airport were arranged in the Order of A, B, C, and D.
He was going to sit in the 33rd seat of the First Bus.
He walked onto the bus, and there were already a few people on it.
When these people saw him, they all raised their heads and took a look.
Ling Ping’an nodded and smiled at them. Then, he hugged his cat and found his seat.
After he sat down, a person next to him turned to look at him and asked, “Brother, which family are you from?”
This person had a head of colorful hair and a copper ring on his ear. There were also traces of tattoos on his hands.
He looked a little younger than Ling Ping’an.
Even his attitude and tone were a little light.
Ling Ping’an was not annoyed.
After all, everyone had the right to choose their own way of life.
For example, he loved staying at home. He did not want to cause trouble for the world. He only wanted to muddle along and wait for death.
Therefore, he answered with a smile, “I’m from Guangnan Jiang City!”
“Jiang City?” He frowned slightly. “I’ve never heard of it…”
He counted with his fingers. “There are still some outstanding officials…”
“Virtuous Sect, Literary Sect…”
He raised his head and looked at Ling Ping’an. “There’s no Jiangcheng City!”
Of course, there were Jiangcheng City.
But they had all withered or moved away.
After all, it was not like the past anymore!
In the past, the rich and powerful would hide far away. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. It was needless to say how happy they were.
Now, with such advanced technology, even if they hid in the villages of the southern Zhou, as long as they broke the law, the police would always be able to catch them.
Therefore, as usual, everyone gathered in big cities and capitals.
Ling Ping’an laughed, “My family is not an ancestral noble!”
Ancestral noble? That was a hundred years ago.
With the passing of the “Hereditary Law” a hundred years ago, the title of a gentleman was beheaded.
After that, the titles of nobility could no longer be inherited.
Of course, the titles given before that could be inherited, and they had to accept a certain degree of decline.
Lao Tzu was a duke, his son was an uncle, his grandson was a Hou, and his great-grandson was a son…
Of course, the strength of the old nobles was still very great.
Therefore, they jointly appealed to the Supreme Court, and at the same time, they campaigned and lobbied in the Council of Ministers and physicians.
Thus, they obtained their exclusive rights.
Nobles of all levels could pay a fee to the central federal government, and they could keep their titles.
Of course, they could only retain their titles.
As for other fiefdoms, they could forget about them.
Hence, the country received the money, the nobles retained the honor of their ancestors, and the high-ranking nobles even received the honor of being buried under the flag of the country after their death.
Everyone was elated.
That person did not look down on them. Instead, he looked up to them and said, “Aiya, this is amazing!”
“The descendants of the meritorious service in peacetime!”
In that period of time, if one wanted to contribute to the country, they would either have to make enough contributions to the country in terms of science and technology or they would have to be outstanding in terms of governance achievements. Other than that, they would also have to risk their lives for the country and the people.
In short, the conditions were very strict!
In the past hundred years, the Meritorious Service recipients every year were all extraordinary figures!
Grand Scholars, great protectors, cabinet ministers, Prime Ministers, secondary ministers…
Basically, these people were the ones who were sharing.
“Let me introduce…” he said enthusiastically, “Huai’an Qin Ming!”
He smiled. “The ancestor was the great ancestor, the Marquis of Yong’an, Qin Wang!”
The people in the first few seats also turned their heads.
In this year and year, a fallen Phoenix was not as good as a chicken.
Especially the great ancestors and high sect’s meritorious officials, their value had long been devalued.
The truly powerful ones now were the new elites that had emerged after the hereditary law.
Especially the new internet elites that had emerged in recent years.
Ling Ping’an smiled and extended his hand. “Jiang City, Ling Ping’an!”
Qin Ming was stunned. “Ling? That?”
At the same time, he searched in his heart.
“The spirit of the Soul!” Ling Ping’an said with a smile.
Qin Ming replied with an ‘Oh’ and turned his head back in embarrassment.
Ling Ping’an wasn’t surprised. He had already encountered similar situations many times in Yaodu when he was sixteen years old.
Nowadays, the human heart was like this.
However, Ling Ping’an didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it.
After all, he understood that he wasn’t some genius who was rich and powerful, and he wasn’t some character with special abilities.
He was just a small citizen.
He wasn’t from the same world as these people.
Besides…
They weren’t paying attention to him, and Ling Ping’an was still happy to be free!
He took out his phone and ignored the notifications from his WeChat.
A hot search attracted his attention: Capital Airlines has applied for a suspension of trading.
He clicked on it and saw the content. It was a very short news message: Capital Airlines had submitted a suspension of trading to the Federal Empire’s Securities Regulatory Commission half an hour ago, but the government of Capital Airlines didn’t announce the reason for the application.
He scratched his head. “Isn’t this the plane that I just took?”
Just then, he thought of the so-called wife who was arrogant and arrogant.
Shaking his head, Ling Ping’an closed his eyes. “I can only say that it is indeed karma?”
…
Lin Yunwen looked at the prosecutor in front of him in a sorry state.
Black clothes, black hat, and haechi on his uniform.
The prosecutor of the Blackguard was sent from the special section.
“Sir…” He looked at the silent prosecutor with fear and trepidation. “Who did I offend?”
The blackguard controlled all the transcendent being affairs in the world and had the power to enforce the law.
This time, the Blackguard suddenly detained him and even sent the prosecutor to investigate.
Lin Yunwen immediately knew that he had offended someone!
This was because, in reality, most of the crimes he had committed in the transcendent being realm were minor.
For example, transporting contraband by air to a certain big shot.
Secretly allowing some illegal products to pass to a certain young lady of a certain family.
As long as the amount of these things was not large, the blackguard could not be bothered to care about it.
Usually, it was a fine, a suspension of flights or warnings.
They would directly arrest them, and even send a prosecutor to investigate them.
This was the procedure of offending someone!
Obviously, they wanted to prank them, but he could not complain.
The past sneaky acts accumulated over time were enough for the Blackguard to file a transcendent being lawsuit.
Not to mention the illegal activities and insider trading that he had done outside of transcendent being.
Since the other party had suppressed him, how could they only take action in one aspect?
They were definitely in the light and in the dark, and they were all here.
Therefore, Lin Yunwen started to admit defeat.
“Grandfather! Please spare my life!”
However, the prosecutor looked at him expressionlessly.
Until the communicator on the prosecutor’s body rang.
After he picked up, he listened to the voice on the communicator for a while.
“Understood!”
“Yes, General!”
The prosecutor ended the call and looked at Lin Yunwen.
“Mr. Lin… I am now officially informing on behalf of the Federal Empire’s transcendent affairs section…”
“You have been detained by US because you are suspected of being involved in many illegal transcendent cases…”
“Of course, you have the right to remain silent!”
“You can also apply to see a lawyer, or we can appoint a lawyer to you!”
Lin Yunwen noticed that at this moment, the prosecutor turned on his law enforcement recorder.
This was a piece of crucial information.
Immediately, Lin Yunwen said, “I want to see a lawyer!”
“I have my private lawyer!”
The prosecutor nodded and said to him, “Yes, I will arrange for a lawyer to meet you as soon as possible!”
After saying that, the prosecutor took the documents and left. Lin Yunwen was also brought back to the detention center.
However, his heart was beating non-stop.
He knew that he had finally gotten through the dangerous situation.
The tycoon who suppressed him, for some unknown reason, had been lenient towards him.
Otherwise, how would he have the opportunity to meet a lawyer?
Since he was willing to let him meet a lawyer, he could also start playing games within the rules and regulations.
Instead of dealing with him outside of the rules and regulations!
This was crucial!
An hour later, Lin Yunwen met his personal lawyer in the detention center’s reception room.
Zhang Wen, a barrister who specialized in transcendent being and transcendent litigation.
“Lawyer Zhang… What exactly is going on?” Lin Yunwen asked the moment they met.
This was what he wanted to know the most.
Zhang Wen held the file and said to him, “Mr. Lin, at present, the accusations you’ve received are mostly about smuggling/illegal transportation and failing to report according to the Regulations…”
“As for the Blackguard, I can make a plea bargain with them…”
“You can choose to pay a fine to reach an agreement with the prosecution…”
Lin Yunwen listened with a serious expression.
Because he knew that since these were the charges he had been accused of.
It also meant that the other party did not want him to die.
If so, why did they make such a big fuss?
Right then, Zhang Wen said, “What you’re really in trouble with is civil and criminal proceedings outside of transcendent being!”
“The Aviation Safety Department of the Federal Empire is already investigating the illegal matters related to imperial capital airlines during your control…”
“The Securities Regulatory Department is investigating you for insider trading and illegal trading…”
“The Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security are reviewing your relevant files…”
“I’ve asked the prosecutor…”
“Well, even if you make a plea bargain, you’ll have to withdraw from the aviation industry…”
“You might even be prohibited from engaging in securities and transportation…”
As a great lawyer with a very professional spirit, Zhang Wen said to Lin Yunwen very seriously, “According to my analysis, Mr. Lin… What you have encountered is a blow from the might of power!”
“Those big shots from the higher levels, who can not resist, are making a move!”
Only those big shots could turn a hand into a cloud or a rain.
Using these small problems to magnify infinitely, he used the public inspection law to make a full-scale attack.
Certainly, this was also related to himself, for he had to bear the responsibility for what he had done.
In the past, the reason why no one cared was because many people turned a blind eye to it.
But now, it was clear that the big shot had made his move.
The first move was to sweep the acupoints of the Ploughing Court.
Moreover, Lin Yunwen had to owe him a favor.
Because he did not drive him to the edge and even gave him a way out.
“But…” Lin Yunwen said, “I’ve never offended any big shots!”
The heavens were pitying him. All these years, when he saw those big shots, he almost wagged his tail and tried to curry favor with them.
Zhang Wen also sighed and took out a page from the document.
“I just received news…”
“Your wife was arrested on the flight for endangering public safety, picking quarrels, and threatening others!”
“The person who issued the arrest warrant came from the Blackguard…”
As Lin Yunwen took the page, his face was pale, and he was on the verge of collapse.
He remembered what someone had said to him when he married that woman. “Brother Lin, the wife you married, with all due respect, is useless except for her face…”
“I’m afraid you’ll be harmed by her sooner or later!”
But how could he have listened at that time?
“B*tch!” Lin Yunwen was furious. “I want to divorce her!”
This was a must.
“Lawyer Zhang…” Lin Yunwen looked at him seriously. “I’ll leave this matter to you!”
He had to get a divorce, or else his life would be very miserable.
“I want to make sure that she doesn’t get a single cent!” Lin Yunwen was extremely serious.
This had to be the case.
Otherwise, he would be punished to the heavens, and he would have nothing to pray for!
…
Ling Ping’an played with his phone as the bus passed through the streets and tall buildings of the imperial city.
Perhaps it had been an hour or two.
Finally, the bus stopped in front of a mountain villa on the outskirts of the imperial city.
“Young Masters, we have arrived at the Deer Song Mountain Villa…” the driver’s voice came from the driver’s seat.
Ling Ping’an raised his head and looked out of the window.
Lush trees appeared on both sides.
“It’s actually a mountain forest?” He was surprised. “It looks like a palace!”
Beside him, the fellow named Qin Ming shook his head with a smile. “Naturally, the Tian Family hasn’t held a social gathering for many years!”
“Since it’s held this time, we have to choose the best place!”
“Moreover, I heard that the people attending this gathering come from all over the world!”
“Fu Sang, Xinluo, Jiaozhi, Lanfang, Ma Lin, Donglai…”
“It can be said that there are all kinds of colors and all kinds of wonderful people!”
Ling Ping’an only responded with an ‘Oh’, for he was not interested in money.
Women were the same.
The bus slowly drove down the hill and stopped at a parking lot at the foot of the hill.
The bus door opened.
“Young Masters, please wait here for a moment. There will be a royal car coming to welcome everyone!” the driver said.
At the same time, he opened the bus door.
Ling Ping’an picked up his cat, took his luggage, and followed the crowd out of the bus.
The guy named Qin Ming was right in front of him.
After the big guy got out of the bus, there were already many people waiting here.
At the same time, on the mountain road in the distance, sports cars of all kinds of colors and decorations roared as they headed up the mountain.
Obviously, those people were the true nobles of today.
Many people looked on with endless envy.
“I heard that the people who make the most money nowadays are the people from the Internet…”
“If we get some venture capital, we can get a share of the power!” Qin Ming said enviously.
He took a look at Ling Ping’an, who didn’t feel anything about these things at all. In the face of such a situation, he said, “People like us are in trouble. We can only keep the legacy of our ancestors and earn some hard-earned money…”
“It’s a pity that our ancestors didn’t go to Northern Zhou that year!”
“Otherwise, my family would have at least tens of thousands of cows and sheep now!”
