Near Connecticut University, Smith stopped the car by the roadside and turned to Lou Cheng.
"I have to go back as soon as possible to settle the remaining matters. Don't worry, there won't be any surveillance footage left behind."
"Okay." Lou Cheng nodded, unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
He had taken two steps when he heard Harding call out, "Hey!
"Lou!"
"What?" Lou Cheng looked back and saw that Smith had already rolled down the car window, leaned over and stuck his head out. His eyes were pained but sincere. His voice was low and slow as he said,
"Thank you!"
Lou Cheng smiled and shook his head. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked towards the school gate that he was used to going in and out of.
With the appearance of the Butcher and his revenge, Smith could finally vent the pain and suffering that had accumulated over the past five years.
Lou Cheng had already taken off his black-rimmed glasses and returned to his usual appearance. He went to the supermarket and bought a bottle of water. He was so bored that he first chilled it and then heated it again until Yan Zheke's lessons were over and she was about to leave school.
Throughout this process, he wasn't as bored as he appeared to be. He had been seriously summarizing his experience in the battle with Joseph. Although he had obtained an overwhelming advantage in this battle, chaining his opponent to the point of "death", and was unable to unleash the various miraculous and tyrannical aspects of the Geruga Sect, he could look at it from a different perspective. For example, if he were to be ambushed and fall into a passive state, how would he turn the situation around and break out of his predicament? For example, if Joseph were to change his response to a certain choice, would it have been better for him? If that was the case, how should he continue to exert sufficient pressure?
A lost battle required contemplation, but so did a victorious battle!
And this was the first battle after Lou Cheng's breakthrough with the Ice Mirror. With it as the core of the battle, there was still much to be summarized!
Holding a bottle of mineral water with ice cubes floating in his hand, Lou Cheng stood at the school gate of Connecticut University, waiting for Ke and Aunt Du to come out.
At this moment, Huang Xiwen, with her chubby cheeks and gorgeous face, was chatting and laughing with a few girls she was close with as they rushed towards the school gate. They were going to have a wild party tonight.
As her gaze wandered, Huang Xiwen suddenly saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but tremble.
He was the man of the hour in Songcheng University. The news of him and Lin Que winning the National Championship was still a hot topic in the school forum!
More importantly, he was Yan Zheke's boyfriend!
Lou Cheng? Why is he here? Huang Xiwen looked at the well-defined, masculine face with a hint of gentleness. Her heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cave, enduring the cold of dozens of degrees below zero.
He hasn't broken up with Yan Zheke?
Did Yan Zheke badmouth me in front of him?
Will he hit me? Is it too late to call the police now?
I heard that people who practice martial arts are impulsive!
Huang Xiwen's thoughts surged, and all of them deviated in a bad direction. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
With Lou Cheng's rumored strength, even if the police arrived, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
Ask Will for help? He was the apprentice of the senior Martial Artist Joseph's student. Even though he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Lou Cheng, he could use Mr. Joseph's name to scare him off …
Aiya, what am I thinking! I haven't done anything bad to Yan Zheke, and I've been inviting her to parties out of kindness to broaden her social circle. I, I have a clear conscience!
Moreover, she was indeed very introverted, very antisocial, and very unsociable at Kingstown University. She also dressed like an old aunt. I wasn't wrong!
I'm not afraid of Lou Cheng!
Lou Cheng gazed at the entrance, his gaze sweeping past many figures as he searched for his little fairy. Suddenly, he saw an Asian girl. Judging from her appearance, she should be Chinese.
Huang Xiwen's calves suddenly trembled under his gaze. Beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead, and the back of her gauze skirt showed signs of being soaked.
"Luola, what's wrong?" A girl beside her shouted the American name Huang Xiwen gave herself.
"I, I …" Huang Xiwen couldn't form a sound. She anxiously tugged at her classmate, indicating that she wanted to take a detour to go home.
There are quite a lot of fellow countrymen here … Lou Cheng thought casually. His eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting Yan Zheke's figure. Through her tied up hair and big black-framed glasses, he saw her inner beauty.
He smiled and walked up to her. He heard someone shouting "Luola". It seemed that the Chinese girl just now had fainted.
There are quite a lot of kind-hearted people. I won't make a red scarf … Lou Cheng held Yan Zheke's left hand and took over her bag and sundries. He felt that his heart had really settled down and become unusually steady. It was as though he had returned to a warm and peaceful home. The residual emotions from his surprise attack on the inhuman had completely dissipated.
"What's going on there?" Yan Zheke looked curiously at the side which was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
"I think a girl fainted. The weather changes drastically. It's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful." Lou Cheng said whatever came to mind. He had already calmed down and his expression was relaxed.
Yan Zheke vaguely saw that the surrounded girl had already woken up and was being carried away by kind-hearted people. She didn't care much and returned home with Lou Cheng.
While waiting for Aunt Du to prepare dinner, she dragged the worrisome Cheng upstairs and sat on the edge of the bed. She coughed lightly, pursed her lips and deliberately kept a straight face.
"Tell me, what bad things did you do in the afternoon ~!"
Her eyes were bright and full of curiosity.
"Cough, I went to catch a psychopathic murderer." Lou Cheng summarized the main point.
"Psychopathic murderer?" Yan Zheke's clear eyes widened. They were filled with confusion and doubt.
All the guesses she made in the afternoon had come to nothing.
"Hmm, you should have heard of 'Butcher', right?" Lou Cheng asked.
He was a notorious criminal in Kingstown!
"Yes, I've heard of him. Empress Dowager even summarized a few key areas where 'Butcher' committed his crimes. She told me not to go there for no reason. It's better to be safe than sorry … You caught him? Do you know who he is? "Yan Zheke couldn't keep a straight face anymore. She was like a little girl who wanted to hear a story.
Lou Cheng walked to the girl's side and sat down. He nodded and said, "It's Joseph, a senior martial artist from the Geruga Sect. Didn't I sign up for the advanced course? When I was communicating with the gem to awaken my Own Spirit, I sensed the hidden bloodthirst of the Grinder, which is Joseph. Originally, I didn't have any other evidence. If I went to him directly, I would easily become a criminal and be deported. That's why I didn't want to do it at first. Later, the head of the secret service, Smith, who was in charge of monitoring me, contacted me. His girlfriend, Sunny, was a victim of 'Butcher' … "
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to finish, Yan Zheke was stunned. She changed her position and blurted out,
"There's a secret service monitoring you? Is there really a surveillance system? That's right, we'll also monitor when experts from other countries enter the country … "
"Which do you want me to talk about first? Secret service or 'Butcher'? "Lou Cheng was amused.
"Both, both!" Yan Zheke had already let down her hair and removed her glasses. Her eyes were bright and clear.
After answering, she suddenly let out an "aiya" and blurted out in relief,
"Thank goodness we drew the curtains …"
Before she could finish, the girl shut her mouth. Her pretty face was as red as a peach, making Lou Cheng's heart skip a beat.
He cleared his mind and answered firmly, "I've seen their surveillance footage. It only covers my activities outside."
If Smith dares to "peep", I'll let him know what it means to lose his memory from a beating!
Seeing that Yan Zheke didn't want to talk about this topic, Lou Cheng changed the topic and described the general situation.
"Although Joseph is similar to an Inhuman, I've improved recently. Moreover, it was a surprise attack, so subduing him was a sure thing. What I'm most worried about is actually the problem of cleaning up. I'm afraid that exposing my identity will bring you trouble. This is also why I didn't want to do it at first. However, with Smith around, it won't be a problem."
"As for Uncle Cole, he will definitely turn himself in. However, he doesn't know who I am and doesn't know me. Even if the Geruga Sect finds a corresponding superpower user, they won't be able to trace it back to me …"
Listening to Lou Cheng's tireless narration, she thought of the girls who were harmed by the demon "Butcher", the pain that Cole and Smith had to endure, and the determination of that father who was willing to pay the price … Yan Zheke had mixed feelings. Her eyes reddened, filled with resentment and sympathy.
Those poor innocent girls!
That perverted criminal with no remorse!
She suddenly reached out and patted Lou Cheng's shoulder. Biting her lip, she nodded seriously.
"Cheng, you've done a great job! One of the main goals of my dream of practicing martial arts is to be a chivalrous and righteous swordsman. You've fulfilled all my expectations in this regard … "
As she spoke, her voice gradually softened. However, she couldn't help but remind him at the end, "If the bad guy is stronger than you, just leave him alone for now."
"I'm not stupid." Lou Cheng laughed. Then, he corrected the girl's perception of him. "Actually, I didn't look for Joseph because I hate evil and want to be a chivalrous person. This is only a small part of the reason."
"Then what is it?" Yan Zheke blinked blankly. She couldn't think of a second reason.
Lou Cheng cleared his throat and said smugly, "Joseph's target is Joseph.
"Joseph's target is a girl with a pure and holy 'spirit'. Although the possibility isn't high, I'm still afraid that he'll set his sights on you one day. Therefore, we have to take precautions and eliminate this hidden danger …"
He described the "Connecticut Criminal Cleanup Plan" that he came up with blindly.
Yan Zheke was stunned at first. Then, she gradually calmed down. She pursed her lips and stared at Lou Cheng with rippling eyes.
When Lou Cheng finished, she moved her arms and said in amusement,
"You're really, really …"
She couldn't come up with a reason. She pretended to be wronged and looked at Lou Cheng with bright eyes. She bit her lower lip and said,
"I've been impure for a long time! I've been tainted by you! "
"Haha, it's normal for married girls to be tainted." Lou Cheng laughed softly.
Yan Zheke narrowed her eyes and picked up her phone. She leaned into her husband's arms and said,
"Let me check if there are any reports."
Ten seconds later, she saw the news. She acted as a human translator and said,
"The 'Butcher' that has plagued Connecticut for a decade has finally shown himself. A victim's father is a new superhero, 'Deliveryman'. Deliveryman … Deliveryman … Haha …"
Yan Zheke burst out laughing and stopped reading.
Lou Cheng's mouth twitched. He was very dissatisfied with his superhero nickname.
Yes, very dissatisfied. It's not cool at all!
