Chapter 37: Merit Elimination

Yu Ning explained it to him.

"Your work is very good for accumulating merit, just like saving money, you will be rewarded with good fortune.

Of course, this good reward may not necessarily appear in your life, nor will it benefit you alone.

Either your children will be successful, or you will be reborn into a good family in the next life, or you may die without any health problems in this life.

All in all, it’s good stuff.”

Xia An nodded and understood.

Isn’t this what people often say, good people will be rewarded?

"If you give me your merits to settle the account, the merits you have accumulated before will be gone, and all these good rewards will disappear. Even if your original intention is to uphold justice, what should be deducted will still be deducted. Are you willing?"

Before Xia An could react, Black Cat was shocked.

It turns out that the girl has paid so much for the Lin family's affairs!

She used her own merits to fix the bug and settle the account!
She didn't say a word about such a big thing. This girl is too kind.

Lin Zheng had no idea that Yu Ning was working so hard, on the one hand because of her master's orders, and on the other hand because she herself wanted to break through the limitations of Qi Condensation and complete the mission at all costs.

In his eyes, the girl was being righteous.

His Lin family owed her a huge favor. If they recognized her as their sister in the future, could they repay the favor?
"Also, let me remind you that I won't help you for free. I will charge you one percent of your current merits as compensation. You have to think it over carefully before giving me an answer." Yu Ning said.

The sect has regulations that it cannot be free, there can be a discount, but it must be charged.

She thought Xia An was a good policeman, so she gave him the lowest discount. This merit was just enough for her to settle the account without being affected by Xia An's karma.

"I do." Xia An answered firmly.

"Would you like to think about it again?"

"Don't think about it. I didn't become a policeman just to accumulate merit. Merit is something that is invisible, intangible and too far away for me. I can't grasp the distance, but I remember my original intention and mission, to protect the people and not let any bad guy go."

Xia An was decisive and his eyes were sharp.

Yu Ning looked approvingly, thinking that such a good police officer deserved her lowest discount.

"Okay, I'll recover and help you with this tomorrow. Now, continue filtering."

In the second surveillance video, pedestrian filtering has been completed.

Yu Ning paused several times. Having learned the lesson from the last time that speaking out would reveal the secret, she just watched and stopped talking.

"You haven't found out who committed the crime again, have you?" Xia An asked tentatively.

Yu Ning shrugged and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. We are both "poor" now and can't afford to spend money."

She noticed a few problems, but none of them escalated to murder cases, so she turned a blind eye to the petty thefts. After all, her merits were not enough, and Xia An's merits were left to the murderer.

You can only catch the big ones and let the small ones go. If you meddle in other people's affairs, you will really be punished by God.

"stop."

When the second volume was almost over, Yu Ning called for a stop and indicated to zoom in on the picture.

The Sky Eye surveillance cameras are all high-definition cameras, and the portraits can be seen very clearly after being magnified.

This is a limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom with a market price of 1200 million.

In second-tier cities, when a car of this price is on the road, all other cars will drive around it.

If there is a scratch, the insurance won’t be enough to compensate.

The driver was a young man wearing sunglasses and a white casual suit. He had a gentle face and looked like a rich young man.

"Meow!!!" The black cat jumped out of Yu Ning's pocket, its fur standing up. This face!
It better not be this person’s problem!
The black cat circled around Yu Ning's arm, looking very anxious.

"Are you hungry? Wait till I finish looking at him. Good guy, really good guy."

Yu Ning picked up the cat and stared at the screen. She was shocked by the man's face.

"He has money and everything he needs, but he lacks morals and a bad heart. How can he be so unreasonable with such a good life? He is also an only child. All the good deeds accumulated by his ancestors for generations have been wasted by this kid."

Yu Ning shook his head, angry at him for not fighting back.

"Huh? Isn't this the young master of Tianshui Real Estate? What happened to him?" Xia An recognized him.

Tianshui Group is one of the few listed companies in their city, and it started out in real estate.

In the past two years, the real estate market has been in recession, and Tianshui Group has transformed itself into a technology investment bank and made a fortune.

It’s not as high as the Lin family’s ranking on the rich list, but the foundation is also quite solid.

"Zhao Tianci, the young master of Tianshui Group, is a well-known figure in our city. It seems that the Zhao family and the Lin family are old friends, right? This young master Zhao is a rare well-behaved child among the second-generation rich. His family has been a single-line son for three generations, and his father is very strict with him. He doesn't smoke, visit prostitutes, or gamble—"

"Well, he only kills people."

"Ah?! You mean, he is——?!"

Yu Ning used the mouse to enlarge the image and froze the picture on his wrist holding the steering wheel.

The sleeves cover half and reveal half.

Black butterfly tattoo.

"My party! Really has an insect tattoo?" Xia An was completely confused. "He has plenty of money and a high social status, why would he kill people?"

Being a small boss of a listed company, you have a bright future!

"Then you have to interrogate him and ask him in person. I can only read faces, but I can't guess what people are thinking."

Xia An was conflicted.

This is Master Zhao!
Mr. Zhao can easily pay for all the expenses in a karaoke bar just by singing a song!
His father is a prominent figure in the city. If he goes to the city to ask for help without any evidence and it turns out that it is not him, will his father let it go?
"You have already extracted blood from the deceased's wound. Once you compare it, you will know whether it is him or not." Yu Ning paused and understood Xia An's concerns.

"A family that can raise such an unfilial descendant who only cares about merit and virtue must not be a good family. I guess the Zhao family is different from the Lin family. The Lin family is still very reasonable, but the Zhao family is not easy to deal with, right?"

"Yes, this Boss Zhao is really difficult to deal with. He relies on his wealth to... Hey, these are not things that a low-level police officer like me can say."

Xia An showed an expression that said you know what's going on, and Yu Ning nodded, understanding. He was just bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

The black cat meowed continuously. Old man Zhao was not only a bully, he was an outlaw!
He knew that there was more to the Zhao family than just the two people in front of him, and he didn't want the girl to be involved in this matter.

The Zhao family has been a single-line family for three generations. Sending their only heir in jail, what good can it do to the girl?

If he woke up, he could naturally protect her, but he was still asleep. The third brother was not close to the girl and would not confront the Zhao family head-on to protect her.

Damn it! Why can't he wake up quickly! Thinking of this, the black cat became frantic and rubbed against Yu Ning's arm.

This case is not solved yet, let’s go now, leave immediately!

"Be good, it's almost done, I'll feed you in a while." Yu Ning thought he was so crazy because he was hungry, so she rubbed his head with her hand.

The black cat became visibly more manic, had speech disorders, and fell!

“What is the merit-eliminating music?”

"The family business is so huge, it is the result of the good deeds of several generations. This kid has more than one life on his hands. With such a huge underworld, the merits of several generations of ancestors will be wiped out. Isn't it just like playing Candy Crush Saga?"

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Is it really Mr. Zhao?"

"I swear in the name of my master, it is him."

　This plot explains the worldview of this book. Fortune-telling can predict a lot of things, such as college entrance examination questions, murderers, and even lottery tickets, but you can't get these things just by predicting them. Two conditions must be met. First, it must not violate the will of heaven, which is what Ning Ning said, the rules. For example, Mr. Zhao should have been caught by Xia An. It's harmless if he got caught a little earlier, but it's against the will of heaven if someone else caught him. Second, you must have enough merit to enjoy this thing. For example, Niu Niu Mi is a poor ghost. She asked Yu Ning to calculate the lottery numbers to make a fortune. Ning Ning can calculate it, but Niu Niu Mi is stuck every day. Her merit is not enough for the 5 million bonus. Even if she wins the prize, she will be struck by lightning on the spot, and Ning Ning, who leaked the secret, will also be struck by lightning. Of course, readers can vote more monthly tickets and praise Niu Niu Mi, so that Niu Niu Mi's merit will soar by 10,000 points, offsetting her sin of being stuck, and the 5 million will belong to Niu Niu Mi - OK, I just want to fool some monthly tickets - bosses who have monthly tickets, vote?
