At this moment, two images flashed through the minds of Guo Min, Guo Huairou, and the others: The young man in a white martial arts suit with black edges solemnly but calmly shouting "He's here" at the calm window, and the casual "He's gone" sentence.
He's here, he's gone … It's actually true!
Everyone by the window turned their heads and subconsciously looked at the door. The image of the young man in a white martial arts suit with black edges drifted into their minds.
"A true master never shows his true colors …" Guo Min sighed after a long time.
Guo Huairou also took a deep breath, and the words "expert style" appeared in her mind.
"Captain Niu, do you know the name of that guy?" Guo Min asked curiously.
Niu Zhen shook his head with a blank face. "Director Xing only gave me his phone number …"
The head of the dragon but not the tail!
…
During morning training, Lou Cheng took the medicine soup step by step. He practiced the fine inner workings and polished his force. At the end, he borrowed the Jindan again to try and understand the feeling of "withdrawing". Once again, he gained a different experience from the previous day.
Every new day, every new day!
After breakfast, he came to the martial arts center. After half an hour in the strength training gym, Lou Cheng saw Wu Ting yawning with dark circles under her eyes.
"Coach Lou, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well last night. You should know that. Can you reduce the amount of training later?" Wu Ting asked pitifully.
Lou Cheng looked at the other students and smiled. "I know. Reduce the amount of training today by two-thirds. When you're free, help me watch them and correct their movements."
Teaching and learning were mutually beneficial.
"Okay!" Wu Ting didn't expect that not only would she succeed in her request today, but she would also be assigned the task of "little teacher". She was very excited and happy.
When the training was about to start, she came back to her senses and asked in confusion, "Coach Lou, you were invited too, right? Why are you still so energetic? "
The protector must be more tired than the protector!
She didn't sleep well last night, but Coach Lou probably didn't sleep at all!
"I was invited," Lou Cheng answered with a smile. "But I slept the whole night."
"You're lying, Coach!" Wu Ting laughed in disbelief.
Yao Ruiwei, Zhang Qiufan, and the other students looked at them in confusion, unable to understand the content of their conversation. They planned to ask Wu Ting during the break.
What happened last night?
…
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, Lou Cheng left Gushan Martial Arts School after another round of training. He turned to a nearby crossroad and boarded Xing Chengwu's SUV.
"Lou, yours." Xing Chengwu handed over a bulging envelope.
"Uncle Xing, what is this?" Lou Cheng asked in confusion.
Xing Chengwu smiled. "Don't refuse the reward for last night. It was given by the country, not me. Due to the high level of danger, the reward was considered generous."
Lou Cheng pinched the thickness of the envelope and estimated that it was about eight to ten thousand yuan. For a top Professional Ninth Pin fighter, the price for a night's security was indeed crazy. But considering that the enemy was a Professional Seventh Pin fighter of the Dan stage, it was reasonable.
Why should he be modest when he had risked his life for the money?
Lou Cheng calmly opened the envelope and took out the bright red banknotes. He took a picture with his phone and sent it to Yan Zheke, who was training in the afternoon.
"I'm earning money from the country!"
Although they couldn't chat in time, he always wanted to share with his girlfriend.
Director Xing understood the young people's habit of taking pictures. Without saying anything, he started the car and drove to the courthouse in the east of the city.
After driving for a while, he asked casually, "Lou, how did you scare Zhan Xuming away last night? He stayed outside the window for at least a minute … Niu Zhen didn't say it clearly. "
"Uncle Xing, do you know the Ice Sect's Enemy Heart Freezing Move?" Lou Cheng was quite mature in dealing with matters. He had long guessed that he would encounter such a question, so he calmly replied with a question.
"Yes." Xing Chengwu seemed to understand. "You've mastered the martial arts derived from it?" Lou Cheng smiled bitterly.
Lou Cheng laughed bitterly. "I can't say that I've mastered it. I can't use it during a fight. I can only barely use it when I've completely entered meditation. Last night, I used it to vaguely detect Zhan Xuming's approach and notified everyone to prepare in advance. Hmm, this probably made Zhan Xuming feel that he didn't have a chance, so he retreated on his own. Uncle Xing, please don't tell others about this.
"Okay, I understand! No wonder Niu Zhen said you were sleeping. Haha, the younger generation will surpass us in time! " Director Xing shook his head and laughed. He changed the topic. "Lou, you didn't tell Guo Min your name last night?"
Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. "Uncle Xing, you know?"
He knew Guo Min was his father's boss, so he made the necessary arrangements!
"Professional habit, professional habit." Director Xing laughed. "Your master asked me to take care of you. If I don't even know the general situation of your family, how can I take care of you? But you don't seem to be willing to reveal your identity in front of Guo Min. "
"I just feel that there's no need to mention it deliberately. It would be awkward. Also, if Boss Guo and the rest knew about this, I wouldn't be able to command them." Lou Cheng answered honestly.
"That's true." Xing Chengwu laughed. "Luckily I only gave Niu Zhen your number and didn't mention your identity. I thought you would tell him yourself if you were willing."
Uh … Lou Cheng was stunned. When he thought about it carefully, he realized how smooth and experienced Director Xing was. No matter how he looked at it, it was flawless!
A real veteran!
Ten minutes later, Xing Chengwu drove into the courthouse and parked beside the back building where there was no one around.
As soon as he got out of the car, he led Lou Cheng straight into the building. They went through a special elevator and arrived at the fourth floor. Along the way, he had arranged for no one to wait.
"Let's go in. There are no outsiders." Xing Chengwu pointed to a room at the end of the corridor.
Lou Cheng suddenly remembered Wang Xu's fate. His heart couldn't help but feel heavy. He sighed subconsciously.
"Don't worry too much. Honestly, Wang Xu won't be sentenced too heavily." Xing Chengwu patted him on the shoulder.
Lou Cheng nodded slightly. He knocked on the door and waited for a moment before pushing it open.
The process of testifying was similar to what he had expected. There were no bystanders, only the necessary judges. Through the guidance of questions, they made him repeat the process from beginning to end.
Lou Cheng kept in mind that Director Xing had asked him to rush over to stop the crime. As for the rest, he didn't hide anything.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard the sound of the door opening.
When he left the room, the first thing he saw was the bright afternoon sun in July.
In the process of silently following Xing Chengwu back to the SUV, Lou Cheng glanced at Wang Xu's parents who had come for the trial. They looked much older than half a year ago. Although they were about the same age as his parents, they looked like they were almost 60 years old.
"Sigh …" Lou Cheng sighed and leaned against the back of the passenger seat. He asked earnestly, "Uncle Xing, can we leave after a while?"
"Sure." Xing Chengwu didn't say much. He took out his phone and started to deal with official business.
In the blowing of the air conditioner, Lou Cheng's thoughts fluctuated. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
Right now, Wang Xu was only one or two walls away from him. However, their fates seemed to have been fixed on today's bright sun and the dim mist of the first day of the New Year.
This is life.
…
Time ticked by. Xing Chengwu received a call. He smiled and said to Lou Cheng,
"The sentence is five years in court."
"That's good …" Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'll find someone to watch him in prison. If he behaves well, he should be out in three years. He'll be only 22 or 23 years old then. There's still a lot to be done." Xing Chengwu started the car.
"Thank you, Uncle Xing." Lou Cheng thanked him sincerely.
Xing Chengwu laughed and said, "What are you thanking me for? It's almost dinner time. Come to my house. I didn't treat you last time."
"Okay." Lou Cheng didn't refuse, nor did he mention Xing Jingjing. He just called his father and told him that he would be back after dinner.
Don't touch the pot that doesn't boil!
Xing Chengwu had already arranged everything. After the call, he went straight to South Zhuangyuan Street. When he led Lou Cheng into the house, the food was almost ready.
"Mom, they're here. Dinner is ready." The tall Xing Jingjing tied up her hair and shouted to the kitchen.
Lou Cheng changed his shoes and politely said, "Hello, senior sister."
At the same time, Xing Chengwu placed his majestic body between the two of them, trying to ease his daughter's emotions as much as possible.
Xing Jingjing looked at Lou Cheng and didn't feel as impatient and uneasy as last time. She just said coldly,
"Ke has mentioned you to me."
"That's good, that's good …" Lou Cheng didn't know what he was saying.
Is this the preferential treatment of a best friend's boyfriend?
Seeing that his daughter didn't have a big reaction, Xing Chengwu secretly felt relieved and hurriedly asked her to help serve the dishes. It was not that he didn't want to do something, but he felt that if he left his daughter alone with Lou Cheng, the harmonious and stable atmosphere would explode.
Not long after, dinner started. Director Xing's wife, Auntie Ding, was very warm to Lou Cheng. She asked him all kinds of questions and praised him.
Xing Jingjing ate quietly. When the atmosphere was at its warmest, she said faintly,
"He has a girlfriend …"
"… How do you know?" Auntie Ding was stunned at first and then asked in confusion.
When did this girl become so close to Lou?
Lou Cheng was startled. He was afraid that this girl would be unhappy and reveal the matter between him and Ke.
Xing Jingjing said with a straight face,
"Ke said so."
Lou Cheng's heart suddenly jumped. Then he heard Xing Jingjing add,
"They are classmates."
"I see …" Xing Chengwu and Auntie Ding didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
At this moment, the doorbell rang and the sound echoed in the room.
"Who is it?" Xing Chengwu was used to unexpected visits. He shook his head and walked to the door. Lou Cheng subconsciously looked over.
When the door opened, he saw two familiar figures. His father's childhood friend, Zhao Zijun, whom he had met a few days ago, and his wife, Huang Qun.
He was the deputy director of the police station. It was normal for him to visit Uncle Xing … Lou Cheng looked back thoughtfully.
Zhao Zijun looked inside and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. Director Xing, are you eating?"
"What do you mean by coincidence? Old Zhao, let's eat together! "Director Xing greeted them warmly.
Zhao Zijun's eyes swept across the table. Just as he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly constricted as a certain figure was reflected in his eyes. He almost forgot what he was going to say. Only when his wife, Huang Qun, pulled him did he wake up. He smiled and said, "No need, no need. We have already eaten. I just thought that it has been a long time since I came to visit you, old leader. Just sit for a while and leave."
"Haha, it's good that you didn't forget your old leader." Xing Chengwu wanted to lead them to the sofa and sit down, but he saw Zhao Zijun carrying something. He said with a straight face, "Old Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
"I, I …" Director Xing was so intimidating that Zhao Zijun didn't know what to say.
Xing Chengwu's expression softened. "Old Zhao, take these things back. I know about your situation. You're my old subordinate. I'll definitely fight for you."
"Yes, yes, Director Xing." Zhao Zijun and Huang Qun didn't dare to stay for long. They immediately left.
Xing Chengwu didn't ask them to stay. He watched them leave and then returned to the table. He smiled bitterly. "The director of Flying Cloud Road has retired. Old Zhao has some ideas. Sigh, when I was at the branch, he followed me for a few years. He's quite capable. Why wouldn't I consider him?"
Lou Cheng smiled and didn't say anything.
…
After leaving Director Xing's house, Huang Qun looked at the things in her hands and asked nervously,
"Old Zhao, that's it?"
"Yes, Director Xing always keeps his word. Since he said so, he'll definitely do it." Zhao Zijun thought about the figure he just saw. He frowned and asked, "Did you see the person who was eating with Director Xing's family?"
"I didn't dare to look carefully." Huang Qun shook her head.
Zhao Zijun took a breath. "It should be Lou Zhisheng's son …"
Why was he at Director Xing's house?
And at this kind of family dinner!
