Chapter 62: I, Lu Xingzhou, swear! Even if I jump off right here, I won't run into a criminal today!-Desafio de transmissão ao vivo: Cem vezes entrando por engano em cenas de crime(Gato de rua)

Lu Xingzhou looked at the task information on his phone.

With a whoosh, he sat straight up!

Listen to that! Is that something a human being would say?

What do you mean by "anyone who dares to ride in the streamer's car is a criminal"!

It's as if they treat the streamer as a "criminal magnet"!

Constantly attracting criminals right to his side!

Lu Xingzhou picked up his live-streaming equipment, opened his broadcast room, and typed out a few bold characters.

[Challenge: Not Encountering a Criminal Within a Day]

<Streamer, good morning. It's only five a.m. I pulled an all-nighter and haven't logged off yet, but the streamer is already up.>

<Lmao, the streamer is actually challenging himself not to encounter a criminal in a day. I bet a 'Super Rocket' that the streamer will definitely run into a criminal within three hours.>

...

In the live stream chat, all sorts of bets wagering that Lu Xingzhou would encounter a criminal were flying around everywhere.

The longest estimate was half a day, while the shortest predicted a criminal on the very first ride.

Lu Xingzhou fiddled with his live-streaming gear.

"I, Lu Xingzhou, swear! Even if I were to jump right down from here, I won't encounter any criminals today!

If you don't believe it, let's make a bet today. From whichever ride onward I encounter a criminal, we'll start waiving the fare for the passengers from that order onward, how about that?"

<Agreed!>

...

The viewers unanimously agreed to the wager proposed by Lu Xingzhou.

A moment later, Lu Xingzhou finished setting up his identity as a ride-share driver and rented a car.

After a brief warmup inside his apartment, Lu Xingzhou prepared to jog over to pick up the car.

Just as he was about to head down the stairs, he suddenly noticed that the door to his next-door neighbor's apartment was slightly ajar.

This made Lu Xingzhou frown.

Lu Xingzhou's neighbor was a single mother raising a young girl.

Her husband had fallen to his death while doing high-altitude work on a construction site a few years ago.

Because she was raising a child alone, this neighbor of his had always been cautious and would never leave her door unlocked without closing it behind her.

Lu Xingzhou cautiously approached the door and heard a man shouting.

"Hand over the money! When Tian Yang fell to his death back then, the construction site paid out nearly two million yuan in compensation. There's no way you don't have the money! If you don't hand it over, I'll kill your daughter!"

"The money is all in the bank. If you want the money, you'll have to wait until the bank opens so I can go withdraw it for you!"

"No way! If you go out, you'll definitely call the police! Give me the money right now! Otherwise, I'll kill you right here!"

Listening to the conversation inside, Lu Xingzhou felt that the robber's brain was not working very well, and he was extremely emotional!

Without rushing inside blindly, Lu Xingzhou opened his own front door again and maneuvered his drone to fly around to the window to check out the situation.

Soon, the video feed was transmitted back to his smart glasses.

The mother and daughter next door were on one side of the dining table, while the knife-wielding felon was on the other side.

The felon's face was flushed and he was highly agitated, capable of violently assaulting someone with the knife at any second.

Lu Xingzhou dialed his older sister's phone number at the same time.

"The number you have dialed is powered off, please try again later."

"Sorry..."

Lu Xingzhou frowned: "What on earth did my sister go and do, her phone is turned off."

With no other choice, Lu Xingzhou dialed the emergency police number and reported the home invasion robbery to the dispatch center.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Xingzhou crouched by the doorway to monitor the situation inside.

Unless the situation escalated dramatically, Lu Xingzhou had no intention of interfering yet.

He was not a professional police officer; what if he handled it poorly and intensified the conflict?

"Bastard, you dare to play tricks on me? I'm going to kill you!"

For some unknown reason, the man suddenly snapped, scrambled up onto the dining table, and slashed toward the woman.

Seeing this, the woman ducked backward and hurriedly pulled her daughter as they sprinted toward the door.

The robber hurriedly jumped off the dining table and gave chase, catching up to the woman in two strides. He reached out to grab the young girl by the collar, a vicious look in his eyes, and raised the dagger in his hand to stab downward at the little girl.

In a daze, the robber felt something hurtling toward him.

Suddenly looking up, all he saw was a dark, bulky object.

The next second, the robber heard a cracking sound echo from his own skull, everything went pitch black before his eyes, and he fell fast asleep on the spot.

Clatter~

A plastic water cup rolled to a stop right by the robber's feet.

The woman hurriedly turned her head to look at Lu Xingzhou, who was already standing at the doorway, and said with profound gratitude: "Xiao Lu, it's you. Thank you so much.

Otherwise, I really don't know what he would have done to us!

Xiaoyu, hurry up and say thank you to your big brother!"

Xiaoyu hid behind the woman: "Thank you, big brother."

Seemingly remembering something, Xiaoyu added, "My summer homework... is almost finished."

Lu Xingzhou wore a blank expression: "What?"

A moment later, Lu Xingzhou figured out what Xiaoyu meant.

Considering that Lu Xingzhou had "saved" a young boy's summer homework yesterday, Lu Xingzhou's reputation among the elementary school students in the residential complex could not be described as well-regarded; rather, it was utterly notorious.

The police arrived at the crime scene much faster than Lu Xingzhou had anticipated.

Just as Lu Xingzhou was about to explain what had happened, a police officer walked up with a smile he simply couldn't hold back.

"Comrade, you don't need to explain anything. Since you live in our jurisdiction, our police station assigns personnel to watch your live stream twenty-four hours a day, so we know everything that happened!

Even before you called the police, we had already dispatched officers."

Lu Xingzhou twitched the corner of his mouth—good grief, he had become a key surveillance target for the police!

During the statement-taking process, he learned from the female neighbor that the robber had once been a coworker of her late husband, which was how he knew about the compensation payout.

A year ago, the robber had also been injured on a construction site, suffering brain damage. Over the past year, he had been a heavy drinker and had recently picked up a gambling addiction.

Having gambled away all his money, he remembered his deceased coworker's compensation payout and thus resorted to a home-invasion robbery.

The background and cause of the case were simple.

The police station logged a merit for courageous righteousness on Lu Xingzhou's record.

Having finished recording his statement, Lu Xingzhou left the police station.

The live stream chat was practically laughing their heads off!

<Hahaha, I'm dying! A moment ago you said that even if you jumped off a building you wouldn't encounter a criminal, yet you ran into one right outside your door before you even went downstairs!>

<What? Zero-frame startup? That's way too slow. The streamer tells you what negative-frame startup means!>

<You're overthinking it. How could the streamer run empty... the police will be giving him a bounty reward!>

Lu Xingzhou let out a long sigh and got into the car.

"Don't worry, that was just an accident. Besides, a case has already broken out today, so we won't run into any more cases after this!

Let's start today's ride-hailing driver challenge!"

[Ding! A new order has arrived!]
