Luo Nan opened his eyes. Actually, he had just fallen asleep. The hundred-knot flying car had already flown over a dozen kilometers, and a new passenger had arrived in the form of a free ride.
Sure enough, it was Worker Zhai who got on, but there was a six or seven year old child in front of him.
"Ah, Worker Zhai... your son?" Luo Nan was still a bit confused. He rubbed his eyes and stood up. He was a bit stunned when he saw the child.
Worker Zhai was holding the child's shoulder very intimately. The child was a bit restrained, and he looked inexplicably familiar. But when he heard Luo Nan's question, he raised his head and glared. His temperament was quite wild.
They greeted each other courteously, and in the end, they all went to the spacious back row to sit down. When they greeted each other, they heard that no one had eaten dinner yet. This was even better. They immediately decided to gather together and have Big Moneybags Luo Nan treat them to a good meal.
The car's AI confirmed that the route leading to the destination was clear. The flying car launched into the air and quickly entered the light rail. It stuck to the tail of another hundred-knot passing by, entering energy-saving following mode.
Worker Zhai patted the child on the shoulder. "Come, Weiwu. Say hello to the two uncles."
"..." The age difference between the three was only around ten years. They stared at each other.
The sudden increase in age made Luo Nan and Xue Lei, who lacked such awareness, feel a bit dizzy. It was the formidable child who curled his lips. "Hello to the two uncles."
"No need, no need. Just call me brother."
"Yeah, we're not that old. Worker Zhai is my teacher."
"If you call me teacher after a few lessons, then it's fine for me to call you now. Let him call me that, or else things will get messy. "
Worker Zhai was quite persistent, but the child curled his lips. "I haven't agreed to let you adopt me yet. Calling me that is giving you face. Don't push your luck. I won't starve to death at the orphanage."
Luo Nan and Xue Lei looked at each other. This kid was quite cocky. The relationship between the two was quite strange.
Worker Zhai was always a good-tempered person. He wasn't angry at all when he heard this. He laughed. "I'm not stopping you from going to the orphanage. I'm a single old man. I don't meet the requirements for adoption. But I can guarantee that you won't lose out if you call me uncle. "
Only now did Luo Nan remember something. In the past, Papercut had said that Worker Zhai had divorced his wife several years ago. He didn't have any children and was an old, single man.
Where did this child come from? "This is a young relative with the same surname that I got to know when I participated in the Family Recognition Conference. His name is Di Weiwu. He's a very nimble kid, right?" Worker Zhai had already given them an explanation without Luo Nan needing to ask.
It turned out that Worker Zhai had participated in the "Same Surname Recognition Meeting" organized by the Civil Affairs Department. His main goal was to provide public relief to those orphans. It was a kind of charity activity. Bringing Di Weiwu out today was also a part of the event. They wanted to choose an extracurricular activity for him and provide financial support.
Among his peers, Di Weiwu's background was quite legendary. Though he was young, he followed a tribe of vagrants across the wasteland and moved into Xia City. His parents and relatives had all died in the wilderness. At such a young age, it was unknown how he managed to survive among the nomads, who were known for their cruelty.
"Eh?" Luo Nan hadn't thought too much about it before, but he was stimulated by the information of a vagrant. He looked at Di Weiwu again, and the familiarity from before became more and more clear.
He probed, "Did you just move into Xia City in the Trigate District?"
Worker Zhai nodded, "That's the place."
Luo Nan slapped his thigh. There was no mistake about it. It was him, the little monkey!
At the beginning of the month, Luo Nan had taken on the business of Trigate Security. He had sent his soul into the body of the crow, Ink, to scout the frontlines of the Trigate District and the Forestwall District. This was where he had interacted with this kid.
Back then, the kid had said, "Are you guys here to fight the gangs?" This had left a very deep impression on Luo Nan. And later on, Worker Zhai had seen this kid ride an electric scooter back and forth between the Trigate District and the Forestwall District at high speed, receiving the teachings of Father.
"What are you so excited about?" Di Weiwu gave him a sidelong glance. "Are you unhappy that I'm living in the Trigate District? It doesn't matter. In any case, I won't be there soon. "
"Weiwu!" Worker Zhai reprimanded lightly, and the kid rolled his eyes. Though he was still covered in spikes, he didn't say anything. Luo Nan could see that he quite approved of Worker Zhai.
Luo Nan waved his hand. He didn't care. He just felt that the world was full of coincidences. It was very interesting. At the same time, he was a bit baffled. "The Trigate District is outside the city, right? You guys have run quite far."
"Weiwu has already chosen a welfare home. It's in the Forestwall District. It's not far from here. I wanted to choose an extracurricular activity for him. This kid is like a living monkey. His body is agile, so I wanted him to train in martial arts systematically. I just happened to be free today, so I took him to look for a martial arts gym! "
"A martial arts gym!" Xue Lei's sensory radar instantly activated. "The martial arts gym is looking for us … Ah, sorry."
Only when the words left his mouth did he remember that the Divine Yu Gym was closed for an indefinite period of time. Not a shadow of a person could be seen. He hurriedly raised his hand in apology, but he couldn't help but sigh in despair.
Worker Zhai laughed. "Actually, I was considering your gym in the beginning. You guys have real skills there. I still have that training video of yours. But when I asked Papercut, I found out that you guys are moving. It seems that you guys are going to be closed for a period of time? "
Xue Lei laughed in embarrassment.
Luo Nan said, "There should be quite a few martial arts gyms in the Society. For example, Mr. Giant Arm's Six Harmonies Gym. It should be pretty good."
"Weiwu's temperament is quite jumpy. He doesn't quite fit in with the Six Harmonies Gym. Plus, the Six Harmonies Gym is by the sea. It's too inconvenient to pass through the city. "Worker Zhai had considered everything thoroughly. He clearly cared a lot about this kid, Weiwu.
"Then, have you chosen a target?"
"The first step is to consider the Thunder Falcon Dojo. It has a branch in the Forestwall District, and the main branch is located in the River Wu District. One is convenient, the other is skilled, and the instructor has real skills. "
"Thunder Falcon?"
Luo Nan and Xue Lei glanced at each other. Their expressions were a bit odd. Wasn't this the martial arts gym that Instructor Feng Jiajun was at back in Ocean Sky Cloud City? It seemed that Xiu Shenyu had quite a bit of enmity with that place. Luo Nan and Xue Lei were nervous for a few days after the incident, but Xiu Shenyu didn't care at all. There was no further news from Xiu Shenyu, and they gradually forgot about it.
Now that they heard Worker Zhai mention it, they felt quite odd. However, the Divine Yu Gym was closed for business. The two weren't petty people, so they didn't say much.
The Hundred Knotworm had already arrived at the restaurant they had reserved. It was located in the River Wu District, and it had a bit of fame. Though it was almost nine o'clock, the restaurant was still nearly full.
Even though they had reservations, the four still had to wait in line for a while before it was their turn. But it would take some time for the dishes to be served, so Luo Nan wanted to order a drink.
But Di Weiwu didn't appreciate it at all. "I don't want to touch that trash. Water is fine."
This was strange. Was there a kid who didn't like to drink?
