Dragon Boat Translation

"How do you look at the road, can’t you see the light hasn’t turned green? In such a hurry to meet your maker!"

The car door opened, and out came a young man who looked no more than twenty-something, wearing huge sunglasses and a Vacheron Constantin watch gleaming on his wrist.

At six feet tall, he looked quite intimidating.

"What’s up with the way he’s talking!"

"Exactly, do you realize you almost hit someone?"

"Having money makes you amazing, huh?"

"You ran a yellow light, you know that?"

"Pft! What’s this got to do with having money or not? Why can’t I go on a yellow light? As long as it hasn’t turned red, I’m free to go!" The young man swore as he walked forward, his presence making the onlookers take a few steps back.

This also revealed the elderly woman on the roadside, trembling and barely able to stand, being supported by Lu Zheng.

The elderly woman was quite shaken at this moment, trembling and unable to speak, just clutching Lu Zheng’s hand tightly.

"It’s okay now, don’t be afraid," Lu Zheng comforted her.

"Thank you, thank you," the old woman repeated, perhaps just realizing what happened and feeling the fear afterward, tears immediately welling up, "If something had happened, I couldn’t have faced them even in death!"

"This time we’re lucky, but in the future, please be careful. Wait for the green light on your side before crossing, and don’t rush. Look out for traffic on both sides, safety comes first. You aren’t losing out on those few seconds."

"Yes, yes, I’ll never dare again! I’ll never dare again!" It’s a lesson learned at the risk of life, always a deep one.

To be fair, the old lady was also partly responsible this time, as the crosswalk signal hadn’t turned green.

However...

"When the light turns yellow, slow down and stop, especially at a crosswalk, always watch for pedestrians. How did you even pass your driving test?"

Lu Zheng turned to the young man, expressionless.

"Mind your own business about how I got my license. I didn’t run a red light, but this old hag wants to die, jump off a building then! Why is she trying to scam me for a hundred grand to subsidize her home?"

"You! You!"

The old woman was too furious to speak.

"Waa!"

The toddler in the stroller, only two or three years old, immediately started crying loudly.

"Stop your crying! Do you know your grandma almost got you killed?"

Murderous words to pierce the heart!

"That’s enough! You nearly ran someone over, and you feel no fear, just making it worse?"

"Oh wow, you know how to use idioms, ancient hero, huh?" The young man sarcastically retorted, then swung a punch at Lu Zheng’s face, "I didn’t run a red light or break any laws, why butt into my business!"

"Ah!"

"Lu Zheng, watch out!"

"Stop!"

Lu Zheng’s eyes sharpened, and he reached out to grab the other’s fist.

Before the other could react, he moved forward, caught the arm between his elbow and palm, and twisted it backward, locking the elbow in place.

Then he twisted his body, a swift counter twist!

"Damn! It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go! It’s going to break!"

The young man was forced to one knee in front of the old woman, face flushed, sweat forming on his forehead.

He could feel his right elbow and shoulder being twisted to their limits, another move would break them.

"Apologize!"

"God dammit!"

"Apologize!"

"Creak! Creak!"

With a gentle pressure from Lu Zheng, a light cracking sound came from the young man’s body.

"Damn! I was wrong, I was wrong! Sorry, old lady, I won’t dare again!"

Lu Zheng snorted and released his hold, allowing the young man to stand, who glanced at Lu Zheng then quickly stepped back a couple of steps.

"You goddamned..."

"Police!"

A clear rebuke, and a fit beauty stepped in front of the young man and pulled out a badge from her bag.

"I!" The young man choked, swallowed, but soon retorted, "So what if you’re a cop, I didn’t break the law, and I didn’t hit anyone, you’re in cahoots!"

"Urban roads have a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour. You just now exceeded a hundred trying to make the yellow light," the fit beauty said coldly.

"I... You’re not even a traffic cop!"

"I’m a detective. You nearly hit someone, then involved in a fight. I have the right to take you in for questioning."

"I... Damn it!"

The young man nodded, no longer speaking tough to the detective, just taking a step back, pointing at Lu Zheng with a disdainful expression, then turned to leave.

He’s not stupid, knowing that the reason the lady cop isn’t taking him in is because this young man also got physical.

"Woo!"

The Ferrari roared to life and drove off.

...

"Lu Zheng, you’re amazing, when did you become so impressive? Didn’t notice at school,"

The few crossed the street, Tong Muxuan looked at Lu Zheng in disbelief.

Su Mengmeng looked on in amazement, eyes shining, Luo Yun was also in disbelief, feeling a little regret inside.

Who wouldn’t want a boyfriend with max boyfriend power?

"There weren’t such idiotic rich kids at school either," Lu Zheng shrugged in response.

"Actually, he was just venting," said another female officer who arrived just in time. "He was actually scared too, but he hid his fear by acting out."

"Uh... Really bizarre."

"We’ve seen stranger ones," the ordinary beauty extended her hand, "Nice to meet you, City Bureau Detective Huang Xiumin."

"Hello, I’m Lu Zheng," Lu Zheng shook hands with Huang Xiumin.

"How’s it feel?" Huang Xiumin asked with a mischievous smile.

"What do you..." Lu Zheng stopped midway.

"Lin Wan."

The name belonged to the long-legged beauty, interrupting Lu Zheng’s words.

Lin Wan glared at Huang Xiumin, who giggled and turned to Lu Zheng.

"You run really fast, do you train for sprints?" Huang Xiumin asked, then quickly shook her head, "No, sprinters don’t have your skills, you must be trained in Sanda, just run too fast."

"Guess?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, not confirming.

"Lu Zheng is a programmer!" Tong Muxuan quickly sold out his friend, "Never saw him run or train in Sanda in four years of college!"

"Old Tong, you’ll lose me like that!"

"She’s a cop! Would you dare lie?"

Lu Zheng: (||๐_๐)

Huang Xiumin giggled, "Add me on WeChat, maybe you’ll get a good citizen award."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What’s the use?"

"Honor!" Lin Wan added.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Good stuff, priceless!"

Then they all exchanged contacts, and thanks to Lu Zheng, Huang Xiumin and Lin Wan agreed to hang out with Su Mengmeng and the others.

"It’s past five, let’s grab a meal together," Su Mengmeng suggested.

Having just been through an ordeal, they had built an initial friendship, comforted the old lady and sent her on her way, and then returned to the other side of the street, to Fulong Plaza.

They went to Old Qingyu Hot Pot, eating and chatting, having a lively time until eight before leaving, saying their goodbyes and parting ways.
