MWC – Chapter 89 Leisure Time

I AM DROPPING THIS NOVEL. IF ANYONE WANTS TO CONTINUE THEY CAN. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE SHARE THE LINK SO I CAN BINGE READ TOO.

Fiona’s Café.

At a window seat, Lu Ming and Li Guan were sitting together.

“Young man, you’re really something. I think next time you’ll be taking on a case against the Japanese Queen herself?” Li Guan looked at him with a mischievous smile.

Lu Ming coughed, thinking it might actually be possible, as long as it was worth pursuing.

“After this case is over, you shouldn’t keep targeting the Japanese. It’s enough now. In District 49, I’ve heard they regard you as a living Buddha.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly and smiled, “I’m really not doing it on purpose. I have no malice towards any ethnic group! And it’s not like I’m picking cases deliberately to run for office.”

Indeed, these cases just happened to come to him by chance.

“I have some bad news. Kato Shio and the involved defendants who were in the East Sea have all returned to their homeland. Moreover, the companies and individuals in Japan haven’t taken our North Gate Court’s injunction seriously. Those assets are now untraceable.” Li Guan looked at him, “You understand what this means, right?”

Lu Ming nodded. He had considered this possibility. These Japanese people simply disregard the legal procedures. At worst, they go back to their homeland. What can we do about it?

“So, what are you planning to do next?” Li Guan looked at Lu Ming with a smile.

Without hesitation, Lu Ming said, “If, on the day of the hearing, these defendants, especially Kato Shio, do not appear in court and the temporary injunction has not been executed by the defendants, I will request the court to rule against them using a summary judgment. Next, it’s about how to enforce the judgment. I will submit a motion to request the court to freeze accounts within the empire that are associated with the violators. Although companies in Japan might ignore our injunctions, companies in the East Sea and other states and provinces of the empire that have business with these violators will have to reconsider. Conducting business with violators is against the empire’s laws.”

“Kato Shio himself might not have much business within the country, but the companies and banks in Japan that helped him transfer assets do. I noticed one Japanese company mainly does foreign trade. If they lose their domestic business, they might not survive.”

“When it comes to life and death, what is Kato Shio to them?”

These are the subtleties of long-arm jurisdiction. Lu Ming didn’t need to think too much about it.

Li Guan was slightly stunned, then smiled, “Christine thought similarly to you. Though not as ruthless, her approach aligns with yours.” She laughed again, “I told her she’d eventually like you! She didn’t believe it!”

Lu Ming immediately put on a wry face, thought for a moment, and said, “Li Nai Nai, actually, I’m a bit afraid of Judge Christine now. Please don’t matchmake us. I have too many flaws. Not to mention, although I’m not married yet, I have two concubines at home. One of them is waiting for me in the car right now!”

Li Guan was momentarily stunned and looked outside the café at the black car Lu Ming had arrived in. Indeed, there seemed to be a graceful lady inside.

Lu Ming rubbed his nose, “You see, it’s better if she doesn’t like me. If she does, she’ll want to introduce me to her daughter. She’ll definitely investigate me thoroughly. By then, won’t she be furious? I might have to move my office to some remote area in the northwest to escape!”

“You little rascal! So young and you have two concubines?” Li Guan glared at him but then shook her head helplessly, “I was too hasty! Forget it!”

“Li Nai Nai, I’m leaving now. I’ll come to see you when you’re not angry anymore!” Lu Ming said, standing up to leave.

Li Guan watched his back, thinking, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. After all, it wasn’t this child’s fault. It was her own assumptions.

…

In the back seat of the black car sat Pamela, dressed very casually in a white leisure tracksuit, exuding a different kind of youthful vitality. She wore a pair of black and white canvas shoes, a concept product of Buyun Shoes.

Buyun’s children’s shoes were selling well, and now Pamela was busy setting up her own shoe factory, working so hard that she rarely had time to meet Lu Ming.

When Lu Ming got into the car, she was dozing off.

As soon as Lu Ming sat down, she lay over and rested her head on his lap.

Lu Ming was taken aback. She had already kicked off her canvas shoes, and her enticing snow-white feet with turquoise toenail polish rested lightly on the other side of the car door. Her whole body curled up in the back seat, her head and part of her upper body lying on Lu Ming’s lap.

Lu Ming was dumbfounded and glanced at the front seats where Pu Xiuna was driving and Uncle Sun was in the passenger seat. Pamela didn’t seem to care at all.

“I’m so tired these days. I just want to sleep for a while…” Pamela murmured softly.

“Let’s drive around aimlessly…” Lu Ming gestured.

The black car started slowly, and behind it, a patrol car followed.

Looking at the beautiful woman with golden hair and blue eyes in his arms, indeed with a tired face, yet warm and fragrant, Lu Ming couldn’t help but feel a bit tender-hearted.

“Let’s go home!” Lu Ming suddenly felt that he should relax his tightly wound nerves.

Originally, he planned to discuss some matters with Pamela in the car and then go to meet Elder Qing.

Recently, he had been extremely busy, often falling asleep in Room 408 after working tirelessly.

The responsibilities were overwhelming, with so many things requiring his attention.

Suddenly, he felt that he might have been neglecting some very important aspects of his life.

…

“Master?” Upon seeing Lu Ming enter her room, Zhen Shi’s delicate face was full of surprise. She hadn’t expected him at all. She was just sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze.

“Come with me to the music room!” Lu Ming smiled slightly.

“Okay!” Zhen Shi immediately nodded joyfully and quickly followed Lu Ming with small steps, afraid that another phone call might come in, making her unable to see the master for days again in this big house.

The music room was covered with a thick, luxurious red carpet. Pamela stood in front of the phonograph cabinet, selecting vinyl records.

She had changed into a chiffon camisole short dress, paired with high crystal heels. Her back was tender and fair, her legs long and slender, looking very sexy and alluring.

“Hanzhu, come, I’ll teach you how to dance!” Lu Ming smiled, gently holding Hanzhu’s slender hand, which was soft and delicate.

Hanzhu’s face turned red with shyness, and she lowered her head slightly, looking charming and lovely.

Lu Ming’s heart gently fluttered.

…

The twelve-inch television, considered a luxury item at the time, provided a comfortable viewing experience.

Bess was playfully cuddling in Lu Ming’s arms, while on the other side, Hanzhu was carefully manicuring his nails.

Life seemed to have returned to a leisurely pace.

However, it felt somewhat different. Just now in the music room, listening to beautiful songs, he had danced with Hanzhu for a while and then with Pamela.

Now thinking back, he couldn’t help but feel that he might have sent some wrong signals.

Or perhaps, he was just confused, not knowing what he truly wanted.

Besides, Hanzhu naturally wouldn’t overthink things. She would do whatever he wanted. But Pamela might have thought he gave a clear signal, and now she was probably feeling complicated and busying herself in the study.

“Hanzhu, do you know why you haven’t seen much of me lately? It’s actually because of you!”

Hanzhu was startled, her delicate face showing some fear, “Master, I was wrong. I’ll change!”

Lu Ming felt helpless. This lovely girl wouldn’t even ask what she had done wrong. In her mind, it was her responsibility to reflect on her mistakes. If the master had to point them out, it would be even more wrong.

Smiling, he said, “It’s because of your ginseng soup. I feel more energetic, so I can stay up late more often!” Before Hanzhu could say anything, he added, “You did well. I’m complimenting you!”

Hanzhu finally relaxed, smiling gently, “Master, it’s what I should do.”

At this moment, footsteps approached, and Pamela walked over. Even at home, she changed into suitable outfits for different scenes, never repeating them.

Her golden hair was casually tied up, and she wore a light red silk pajama set, very relaxed but slightly transparent, hinting at her beautiful body curves. Her enticing snow-white feet were in small crystal slippers, looking very homely, like a little wife, adding an exotic charm to the beautiful Western lady.

She walked over and sat gently on Lu Ming’s other side.

Lu Ming was slightly taken aback and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

Looking at Hanzhu on the left, Bess dozing off in his arms, and Pamela on the right.

For a moment, he felt a sense of happiness.

A family of four, this little life isn’t bad, is it?

The phone suddenly rang, and Luo Yi hurried to answer it.

Lu Ming sighed inwardly. A phone call at this time meant his leisure time was over.
