The temperature outside was negative 4-5 degrees and that man must be unconscious after lying there for a night. His life might even be in danger!

“You, stay inside. I’ll go out to take a look” Lu Shu ordered Lu Xiaoyu.

As soon as Lu Shu finished his words, Lu Xiaoyu grabbed onto the corner of his shirt and silently stared at him.

“Let go, let go!” Lu Shu exclaimed softly.

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +50…”

“Hmph, stop being stubborn, it’s very dangerous outside now.”

After reconsidering, Lu Shu gave in, “You can follow behind me quietly, and you’d better listen to me.”

Lu Xiaoyu quickly nodded and Lu Shu thought that her quick-mindedness seemed quite cute…

Sneakily, the two of them crawled out through the door and Lu Shu tried to make out the face of the man. It was the performer from this afternoon’s circus, the one who had been taken away by the men in black!

Interestingly, two men in black had just run off and now this man had collapsed in front of the door. He looked very pale and weak.

‘What should I do? Wasn’t he taken away? Did he escape? Lu Shu could not believe that those men who claimed to be from the fire brigade would release this guy voluntarily.

At that point of time, he knew that the fire in a distance must be because of this guy and his power must have had something to do with fire. The huge fire that lit up the entire city and this performer who had just escaped from an unknown place……

He speculated that the man must have set the fire in order to escape from the two men in black earlier who were clearly after him.

That man was merciless, setting such a huge fire for his own escape. Who knew if the fire had hurt anyone?

Of course, Lu Shu was only guessing and the truth was still unknown.

But the real issue that he was worried about was the connection between that performer and those men.

There was a saying that with great power comes great responsibility but Lu Shu disagreed. He felt that one should just mind his own business and live selfishly. Being selfless to the point of losing oneself was foolish and no one would even reward such actions.

With changing times, heroes appeared and left, and new heroes would always replace old ones and this seemed like a form of glory to them.

But in this world, no one could fully replace another. This so-called ‘replacement’ was merely the appearance of a new person while the previous one was forgotten.

If the men donned in black came back then, Lu Shu would be in such a pinch.

“What should we do? Do we save him?” Lu Xiaoyu asked.

“I don’t know how to give CPR, but that doesn’t seem very suitable for this situation,” Lu Shu pondered, “Let’s call 120 and can you cook a bowl of ginger water for him? It might help. But calling 120 requires a fee… Let’s not pay it by claiming that we don’t know him, let him pay the fee himself when he wakes up…”

To Lu Shu, the fee was a significant amount and he could do a lot with it. Calling 120 and offering a bowl of ginger water was the best he could offer.

“From Liang Che’s distress, +70…..”

Lu Shu was stunned by the new update in his records. The only person that could be in distress because of him would be the man lying on the ground but could an unconscious man even feel any distress?

Unless he was faking it…

Lu Shu was mad. This fraud happening in front of his house and making use of his compassion, how could he tolerate it?!

Although he did not have much compassion to begin with…

“Let’s lift him up, give me a hand,” Lu Shu whispered to Lu Xiaoyu
