4: 28 PM.
Looking at the young man in deep navy blue, Si Jianting's face was still ferocious. His teeth chattered because of the cold, but he didn't answer a single word, as if he wasn't willing to reveal anything.
Lou Cheng knew that saving a person was like putting out a fire, so he didn't delay. He immediately put on a serious expression and visualized the sharp and cold "Army" character in his mind.
He didn't make any hand seals, nor did he speak in the ancient language. He only combined the bloody feeling of the battlefield with his own terrifying aura. Combined with the words in his mouth, he pressured Si Jianting's spirit.
"Where is Li Zhenhua!" Lou Cheng shouted in a deep voice.
Si Jianting inexplicably shivered, and his body trembled. But after so many years of bloodshed in war-torn areas, he stubbornly refused to admit defeat, and retained the last of his bearing as an ambitious person.
Lou Cheng narrowed his eyes and spoke again.
"Where is Li Zhenhua!"
"Where is Li Zhenhua!"
The two voices were like thunder in his ears. Si Jianting's eyes couldn't help but reveal a sense of fear, as if he had returned to his youth when he was imprisoned in that warlord's water prison.
"Where is Li Zhenhua!" Lou Cheng's aura flared, and the surroundings seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.
"I, I'll talk …" Si Jianting couldn't hold on any longer. His spirit completely collapsed, as if he had seen death, seen the end of the world.
A suspicious wetness appeared in his pants, and with snot and tears, he wailed, "I'll talk.
I'll tell you everything. He's not dead, he's not dead. He's, he's in my 19th floor office's secret room … "
Following Si Jianting's stammering confession, Lou Cheng more or less figured out what had happened.
Last night, after Li Zhenhua had infiltrated, he'd relied on the tips of the spies he'd bribed to find the account books of Si Jianting's casino, as well as a batch of contraband smuggled from the war-torn areas, and other key evidence. But when he'd finished collecting and was preparing to leave, he'd been discovered by the night patrol Wissen, who'd suddenly launched a sneak attack and smoothly captured him.
Afterwards, Si Jianting, who'd suspected that his mortal enemy had set him up, secretly rushed over under Huang Chengda's protection. He'd tortured Li Zhenhua, and found out that he was an Ice God Sect disciple. Si Jianting's head immediately swelled. He could almost imagine the pressure he'd have to bear at dawn.
At this point, it was impossible for them to send Li Zhenhua away politely, because the other party already knew a lot of decisive things, and there was a deep hatred between them. They had no choice but to deal with the surveillance video overnight. Then, they found a connection to stall for time and began to destroy the evidence in batches.
Once he'd perfected his plan, Si Jianting didn't leave things to chance. He immediately made arrangements to escape, planning to go to the warlord in the war-torn areas to avoid the limelight. As for Li Zhenhua, he wanted to directly silence him, but he didn't dare to make a move. This was because, under the circumstances where all the suspicions pointed towards him, once he killed an Ice God Sect disciple or made him disappear for real, it would thoroughly enrage that colossus. Who knows, it might even send an Inhuman or even a Physical Invulnerability expert to kill him. Escaping to a collaborator that wasn't considered strong would only make the other party even more fearless.
Therefore, Si Jianting was prepared to temporarily spare Li Zhenhua this time. In any case, what should've escaped had already escaped, what should've been destroyed had already been destroyed, and what should've been dealt with had already been dealt with. Afterwards, he'd look for an opportunity to create an accident. Under the premise that no one would suspect him, he'd erase this enemy that hated him. Finally, he'd change his appearance, return to his hometown, and take back his property.
Why do people who do criminal things like to keep accounts …? Lou Cheng recalled the TV dramas and novels he'd seen before, and silently complained. Afterwards, he picked up Si Jianting, who'd collapsed into a pile of mud, and circled around to Huang Chengda's side. He lifted his knee, tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, and kicked Huang Chengda's ear, making this Dan stage martial artist completely pass out.
With his other hand, he pulled Huang Chengda and lifted him up. Lou Cheng did the same to Wilson and the bodyguard in the front passenger seat, but he didn't stop the driver from escaping.
The reason why he wanted to go through so much trouble was because he felt that he had to do things cleanly. What if Wilson and Huang Chengda were lunatics, and after escaping, wanted to retaliate against him and the people of the Ice God Sect?
The other bodyguards didn't have this ability, but they did!
Since that was the case, he might as well just throw them both to the local police station, and then exert pressure through the sect to sentence them to death.
The bodyguard in the front passenger seat didn't have this kind of treatment. After being knocked out by Lou Cheng, he was directly thrown into the flower bed. If he could wake up before the police arrived, he could count himself lucky.
Lou Cheng had just stacked Wilson and Huang Chengda together, making it easier for him to drag them away with one hand, when Zhang Xiaozi ran over in surprise and joy, crossing the road that almost all the cars had already taken a detour.
"Senior, Zhen-Zhenhua is okay, right?" She gasped for breath, and asked with both expectation and apprehension.
"It's not too big of a deal." Lou Cheng hadn't seen the specific situation with his own eyes, so he could only answer vaguely.
Zhang Xiaozi already believed him from the bottom of her heart. Hearing what he said, a brilliant smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, thank you senior …"
Her voice hadn't yet fallen when her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and looked at it, and her expression slightly changed.
"Police station …" She looked at Lou Cheng with a somewhat panicked expression, asking for a decision.
It was obvious that after receiving the police report, the other party had guessed that the Ice God Sect was on the move, and had immediately called Zhang Xiaozi, who was in charge of communication.
Lou Cheng pondered for two seconds, then calmly smiled and said,
"Just tell them five words, 'No lives were lost.'"
"Yes, senior!" Zhang Xiaozi suddenly had a backbone again, and she hurriedly answered the phone.
After she made a few "yes" sounds, she imitated Lou Cheng's tone just now, and calmly said,
"Don't worry, no lives were lost."
The other end of the phone was silent.
Lou Cheng saw that Li Zhenhua was no longer in imminent danger, and he was afraid that his little fairy would worry for too long, so he temporarily stopped dragging Wilson and Huang Chengda into the Linfu Building. He took back his wallet and cell phone from Zhang Xiaozi, and dialed a number.
He held Si Jianting in one hand, and his foot was pressed against Wilson and Huang Chengda. He calmly stood there in navy blue, and then looked at the cars in the distance that were taking a detour, waiting for his wife to answer.
4: 32 PM.
When the call connected, Lou Cheng was afraid that Yan Zheke would misunderstand, so he rushed to open his mouth first.
"Hello, Ke."
Yan Zheke clearly exhaled, and her tone was filled with joy as she asked,
"You gave up?"
"No, it's already been solved." Lou Cheng laughed softly. Beside him, Zhang Xiaozi was stunned.
The "professional and serious" senior actually had this side of his chest that resonated with his laughter …
"Solved? It's only been a few minutes … You, didn't you say that a small matter had become a big trouble? "Yan Zheke was shocked and at a loss. Her body and mind relaxed, and she was so happy that she was about to explode.
Hearing his little fairy's clear and surprised voice, Lou Cheng couldn't help but brag. He lightly laughed and said,
"I made a mistake in my judgment. For me in the past, it was indeed a big trouble, but for me now, yeah, it's just a small matter."
"You're bragging!" Yan Zheke was angry, amused, and happy at the same time.
How could Cheng make the mistake of not knowing himself and not knowing the enemy!
"Yes, I'm bragging. Coach Yan knows me best …" Lou Cheng's old face reddened, and he calmly admitted, "It's mainly because their 'posture' was too good, so the matter is simple. I'll tell you the details later."
"Yes, yes." Yan Zheke's voice was light and quick.
Lou Cheng thought for a moment, and laughed softly.
"I have a goal. I'll strive to make today's kind of trouble into a small matter within four months."
"I'll remember it for you ~" Yan Zheke replied with a smile. After a few seconds of silence, she softly said, "Cheng, hubby, next time this kind of thing happens, remember to ask clearly before deciding whether or not to go."
"Okay!" Lou Cheng felt pity in his heart, and solemnly promised.
But things were always developing and changing. It was very difficult to say that asking clearly at the beginning would solve the problem. It was more important to rely on on-the-spot judgment and knowing when to retreat.
Hanging up the phone, Lou Cheng carried Si Jianting in one hand and dragged Wilson and Huang Chengda in the other. Under the panicked and scared gazes of the people in the Linfu Building, he calmly and steadily boarded the special elevator and arrived at the 19th floor.
According to Si Jianting's instructions, he had Zhang Xiaozi open a secret room and saw a young man with many scars curled up unconscious on the floor.
"Zhenhua!" Zhang Xiaozi threw herself at him.
Lou Cheng gave Si Jianting, Wilson, and Huang Chengda each a few more times and threw them beside the guest sofa. Then he entered the secret room and checked Li Zhenhua's injuries.
"His life isn't in danger." He made a judgment and ordered Zhang Xiaozi, "Call the police and tell them to call an ambulance when they come."
"Okay, senior." Zhang Xiaozi breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart settled, and she began to dial the number.
Lou Cheng reported to his master and let the sect handle the aftermath.
4: 37.
The sound of police cars and ambulance sirens rang out at the same time.
4: 40.
Outside Si Jianting's office, the sound of footsteps could be heard. A group of policemen rushed in and saw a young man wearing a navy blue martial arts suit sitting on the sofa with his head down playing with his phone. His bearing was calm and his posture was leisurely.
At his feet, Wilson, Huang Chengda, and Si Jianting were lying in a mess, overlapping each other. They were all unconscious. That famous Linbian big shot's body was even slightly trembling, faintly emitting a foul smell.
On the other side, Zhang Xiaozi, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and jogging shoes, stood quietly like a maid. Her eyes occasionally drifted to Li Zhenhua, who was lying on another sofa.
Lou Cheng raised his head, smiled at the leading police officer, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?
He asked calmly, "Can I go now?"
"…" The police officer was silent at first. Looking at the unconscious Li Zhenhua, he nodded heavily. "Yes."
"That's good." Lou Cheng slowly got up. Under the watchful eyes of the police officers and Zhang Xiaozi, he walked out unhurriedly.
The office quieted down. Everyone could faintly hear him making a phone call in the elevator.
"Hello, Mom, I might be an hour late for dinner."
An hour late for dinner … The police officers and Zhang Xiaozi looked at each other.
…
Leaving the Linfu Building, Lou Cheng waved his hand to stop a taxi and sat in the back.
"Go to the Four Joys store." He calmly ordered. His phone's display switched from the booking app to the search page for "Linbian specialties."
The driver started the car and asked, "Hey!
"Hey, was there a gunfight at Lin Fu's side just now? I heard it was very intense? "
Lou Cheng smiled and said,
"I didn't watch, so I'm not too sure."
"Well, there will be news later." The driver didn't say anything more.
…
4: 52 pm.
In the Four Joys store, Lou Cheng carefully selected two boxes of osmanthus cake and two cans of matsutake sauce. Then he went next door and bought some mangosteen and other special fruits.
…
5: 19 pm.
He arrived at the high-speed railway station and received a call from Geezer Shi.
"You handled it well today." Comrade Shi Jianguo praised and then said, "Remember, nothing can go exactly as expected. Today, I am mainly training your ability to deal with accidents and changes. If you improve in this aspect, you won't be flustered when you encounter an accident in the future and won't be in danger."
"You're right!" Lou Cheng suddenly realized that he had misunderstood his master and thought that he was unreliable.
When he hung up the phone, he suddenly had doubts and muttered,
What he said just now couldn't be an excuse made up by his master to cover up his unreliability, right?
This, this is his style …
…
5: 35 pm.
The high-speed railway started to move. Lou Cheng leaned back comfortably and played with his phone.
…
7: 25 pm. Li Zhenhua woke up in the Linbian hospital.
After seeing Zhang Xiaozi beside him, he anxiously asked,
"Did you catch Si Jianting?"
"Yes, your sect sent a young senior to deal with him." Zhang Xiaozi answered truthfully.
Li Zhenhua immediately relaxed, his expression was absent-minded.
After a few seconds, he regained his composure and muttered, "Young Senior" twice …
"Where's the senior?" he asked.
"He left in the afternoon." Zhang Xiaozi said in detail.
"Well … when did the senior come?" Li Zhenhua asked casually.
Zhang Xiaozi's tone suddenly became very strange.
"Also in the afternoon …"
…
7: 29 pm. Back Water Lake. At the entrance of the villa community.
Yan Zheke, wearing a short sleeves and a long skirt, trotted out. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Lou Cheng.
"You're still not going back to eat? Why did you come to find me first? "
Lou Cheng lifted the osmanthus cake, matsutake sauce, and southern fruits in his hand and laughed softly.
"I brought you some Linbian specialties."
