Seeing Ju Ling appear, Luo Nan knew that it was impossible for the conflict to continue.
This rising star of the military had a typical "planning before taking action" personality. Since he had spoken, he must have done some observation. He simply ignored Feng Jiajun and the others. He directly greeted Luo Nan and Xue Lei:
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Xue, Jia Jun and the others lost their composure after drinking. They really shouldn't have. I apologize on their behalf."
"That's nothing."
Luo Nan responded casually. He looked at Ju Ling's speech and mannerisms, and a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind: "It seems like you're always wiping the butts of others …. You should clean up your circle of friends if you have nothing to do."
It was better to put an end to this meaningless conflict as soon as possible. Luo Nan wasn't prepared to talk much with Ju Ling. He also didn't want to get tangled up with Feng Jiajun, this drunkard. Luo Nan spoke without thinking, then he extended his hand and made a 'please help yourself' gesture.
Seeing this, Ju Ling smiled and signaled Feng Jiajun and the others to move forward and leave the bus stop. His position in this group was very high, and he could see that Feng Jiajun was somewhat afraid. Even though he was still deeply dissatisfied, he was still dragged away by his companions.
From the look in his eyes as he left, this hatred was firmly settled.
Ju Ling nodded at the two again, not intending to prolong the conversation. He followed closely behind Feng Jiajun and the others, turning to leave. However, after taking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Duan Hong of the Thunder Falcon Dojo was once Senior Colonel Meng Tu's comrade-in-arms. But he's retired now. "
Comrade? It's still in a lab. In other words, that Gym Master surnamed Duan was a Burner?
Ju Ling's intention in saying this was not only to reveal some information but also to clarify the relationship between the Thunder Falcon Dojo and them. However, this relationship was limited to a certain range. Clearly, he also knew of the Winter Solstice Challenge. He knew of the close relationship between Xiu Shenyu, Luo Nan, and Xue Lei.
Hmm, this feeling of being the last to know was really not good.
Seeing Ju Ling and the others leave, Xue Lei suddenly blurted out, "I want to go back and take a look. I want to ask the Dojo Master …"
Luo Nan responded, "I'll go with you."
"Don't. With the Dojo Master's personality, he definitely won't say anything if you go."
"Then I'll help you ask Sister Yueyin. This matter shouldn't be hidden from her."
"Alright, thank you."
Luo Nan reached out his hand to give him a poke, telling him not to say such extravagant words.
Xue Lei forced a smile. At this moment, he was very worried. In terms of martial arts attainments, it wasn't a problem for Xiu Shenyu to leave these two youths far behind. But he had been sick and weak all these years, and he was so emaciated, how could anyone feel at ease fighting with him?
He called for a flying hundred-knot bug and left in a hurry.
It was already deep into the night. Only Luo Nan and the Zhai Family's father and son could get on the bus stop. Seeing Xue Lei leave, Di Weiwu was actually a little disappointed, but he still said,
"Are you still going to the orphanage?"
Luo Nan was a bit hesitant, but the long-awaited low-altitude public transport finally arrived at the station at this time. When he saw Di Weiwu's pitiful eyes, his heart softened. "I'll go take a look."
In any case, it was destined that he wouldn't be returning home tonight. There was no need for him to personally ask He Yueyin about the matter. It could be settled on a low-altitude public transport … He could just treat it as coaxing a child.
After getting on the public transport, the first thing Luo Nan did was ask his aunt for a leave of absence. He was a bit apprehensive in his heart, mainly because he had overlooked a point just now. If Mo Ya had first mentioned the matter of him not returning home, then he would have hit the muzzle of a gun.
Luckily, his luck was pretty good tonight. He could hear his aunt's voice. Mo Ya hadn't exerted herself. His performance had been good during this time, and his body was becoming healthier and healthier. This was a plus. His aunt only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Luo Nan let out a long breath. After hanging up, he immediately contacted He Yueyin without stopping. The god of luck was still watching over him, and the connection was made rather smoothly.
He Yueyin was silent for a moment after hearing Luo Nan's explanation. Then she responded, "From the monetary accounts, the Thunder Falcon Dojo has purchased a portion of the Castle Financial Group's assets in Xia City at a low price in the past few days. The timing is quite good, and there's a tacit understanding with the military's actions …."
"Mm. Ju Ling has admitted to this as well. But I don't understand right now. What's going on with the Battle of Winter's Solstice? "
He Yueyin was silent for a few seconds before saying, "There's a grudge between Xiu Shenyu and Duan Hong, but both sides are acting according to the rules. It was like this ten years ago, and it's still like this ten years later. It's best if we don't get involved …. I still have things to do. I'm hanging up."
"Hello? Hello! " Luo Nan and He Yueyin had known each other for many years, but he had never been hung up so quickly before. He was a bit stupefied for a time. Perhaps she really did have something urgent to do?
The low-altitude public transport entered the Forestwall District in this muddle-headed state. After seven or eight stops, they arrived at the stop closest to the orphanage. Then they only needed to walk another three hundred meters. Just from the route alone, the Thunder Falcon Dojo was quite compatible with the newly opened branch dojo. But Worker Zhai wouldn't send Di Weiwu there to be tortured no matter what.
Five minutes later, Luo Nan stood in front of the orphanage that he had scanned with his telepathic thoughts. Luo Nan was quite curious about the 'Dean Wan' that the Zhai father and son spoke of, and the 'guide' that Xie Junping and Du Yong spoke of. He really wanted to know what was so special about this person, aside from the face of the preacher that he had sensed before.
But when they knocked on the door, they heard this piece of news: "Dean Wan went out. It looks like he accepted an invitation."
Nurse Wang of the orphanage was acquainted with the Zhai father and son. This old woman understood the ways of the world. She welcomed them in and greeted them warmly.
This orphanage was reconstructed from the lower level of an abandoned shopping mall. Relatively speaking, it was already a relatively safe place on the Recycling Stratum. Over twenty rooms were separated, and thirty or so people lived there. All of them were teenagers and children under the age of fourteen.
Most of them should have been asleep at this time, but Di Weiwu's arrival caused quite a few of his little friends to become excited in an instant. They chattered noisily, forcing Nurse Wang to use the name of the Dean to suppress them.
Everything was settled down with great difficulty. Nurse Wang took the place of Dean Wan and fulfilled her duties as the host. She led Worker Zhai and Luo Nan around the orphanage.
Luo Nan's impression of this place gradually grew clearer. In his eyes, the deepest impression that the overall layout of the orphanage gave people was that it was simple yet extremely stylish.
For example, the reception room. There were crisscrossing pipes overhead, but the entire floor was painted ash-gray. There were wooden frames of the same color on the walls, and there were short tables of the same color on the floor. There were also two half-worn peach-colored sofas and a recliner that came from god knows where. The fruit platter on the short table was in the shape of an extremely interesting ladle. The light emitted from the iron cover hanging from the ceiling made people feel extremely comfortable.
