Chapter 86 - Walking away (1/2)

”Did you know what you just did there, Wang Ming? It's a felony, a crime, I should put you in prison myself! You should know why you're not in cuffs right now!”

Qiao Meng was shaking in anger. She wasn't just angry at Wang Ming, but also herself, that she couldn't punish the bankers. Sometimes she wanted to do things like Wang Ming did, but if she did, then China would be lawless. As a police officer, she couldn't let things like these happen.

”I know why, because he deserved it. I won't ever find trouble with other people, but they keep coming at me. You know what would happen if I let him go Qiao Meng. He would have harmed other people like he tried to me, I can't let him go when I know he's going to harm someone as soon as I turn my back. Since you couldn't punish him, then I needed to take it into my own hands.”

He tried to look at Zhang Zhu for backup, but Zhang Hu just put his arms up. He didn't want to get between the lover's quarrel, it's their problem.

”I know what you're saying, Wang Ming, I understand, but I'm a police officer. I can't condone your actions, it's illegal. I thought I knew you better than this. I will pretend like I never saw what you did, but if I catch you do this one more time, you're going to have my foot down your throat ok?”

Qiao Meng's words made Wang Ming sigh. He felt it she had put up a barrier between them. It seemed like his actions this time messed up his relationship with her. Maybe breaking his bones was too excessive, but he didn't regret it. He understood her standpoint.

He hadn't realized before this, but he's slowly turning into a thug. A thug can't be genuine friends with a police officer.

”Thank you, Miss Qiao. I won't bother you anymore, please take care!”

By calling her for Miss Qiao, he clarified that their relationship had changed. Wang Ming felt like needles were piercing his heart one at a time, but he knew that them being friends would not only be bad for her career but also her mental. After taking a deep breath, Wang Ming walked away.

Since Wang Ming had his back turned to Qiao Meng, he hadn't seen the tears that formed in her eyes when he called her Miss Qiao. He clearly drew a line between them. Their relationship would never be the same ever again. She didn't even know if she would ever see him again. It made her regret what she had said. But she couldn't abandon her path for Wang Ming.

”Won't you chase after him?”

”Don't you like him?”

”Maybe, I don't know. I thought I did. But I don't know anymore.”

Zhang Zhu sighed, seeing how the situation played out. He felt incredibly lucky that he had an understanding girlfriend she had been with him through thick and thin. If Qiao Meng had been as understanding as her, then maybe she could have pulled Wang Ming out of that world.

”Please, just give me 5 minutes. I need to go to the toilet.”

He knew Qiao Meng was lying. She clearly just wanted to cry.

”Mhm, just take it easy. I'll ready the car.”

After Wang Ming waked away from the bank, he just ran to clear his mind. He should have known it was unavoidable. Even though he didn't consider himself a part of the underworld, he still has ties to it, ties he could never break.

Getting a taxi, Wang Ming tried to go to another bank to get a loan. But he kept being declined. None of the banks did as the first bank had done. But no one would grant him his loan even if he showed them his earnings, statements of his earnings.

Some banks called their guards to escort him out, others just refused him and showed him out. He thought it had been because of his clothes, so he had even stopped by a clothing shop to change his clothes, but still no one welcomed him. He felt like someone was playing with him, someone controlled all the banks to f.u.c.k with him.

This had been the 12th bank that had refused him in a row.
