Chapter 67 Two Conditions
Huo Haiwei's eyes lit up and he looked at me with interest.
He didn't ask whether what I said was right, but asked: "How old are you, young man?"
"Nineteen!" I replied, "it will be twenty soon!"
He smiled and looked at Assistant Ma, "In our place, we haven't graduated from the police academy yet!"
I won’t comment on this. Can our profession be the same as yours?
Maybe he saw that I was a little unconvinced, or disdainful, but when Huo Haiwei looked back at me, his expression became much more serious.
"Now that you can see it, you may have guessed the purpose of my coming here! I originally planned to ask Master Wu for help. Since he highly recommends you, can you guarantee that you can help me?"
I glanced at my master, who was calmly drinking tea from a tea bowl and not looking at me at all.
I suddenly had some idea in my mind and calmed down.
"Then it depends on what you are busy with." I said, "Besides my master, I may be the only one who can exorcise evil spirits and avoid them. I can't find a third person!"
"Hey! It's okay! I admire confident young men!" Huo Haiwei said to Assistant Ma with a smile.
Assistant Ma immediately answered, "Didn't you see that the master and apprentice helped Mr. Zhou to drive away evil spirits a few days ago? This young man is really powerful!"
I was indifferent to such compliments. That night was indeed very dangerous, but having said that, if my master hadn't been there that day, it would have been really difficult for me to solve it alone.
Especially since there are a few foreigners who are alive and controlling the situation behind the scenes.
I don't know how much Huo Haiwei knows about that matter, but I can tell from Assistant Ma's words that he knows about it.
"We have traced those people overseas. It is not appropriate for us to go out, so we have assigned people outside the country to continue the investigation! I believe the results will be available soon."
Huo Haiwei's words proved my guess.
He looked at me again and then looked at my master with a very formal expression, "Master Wu! Please tell me your conditions!"
He agreed that I would replace my master, and he also saw that my master had conditions.
My master nodded, refilled the tea for the two of them, and said, "Two conditions! First, we never cooperate with officials and cannot break the rules, so we cannot just help!"
I nodded secretly, what my master meant was to tell the other party that if you want us to do something for you, it is not to help, but to pay us to do something, and you have to pay for it.
Huo Haiwei naturally heard it and nodded in agreement without hesitation, "No problem! What about the second one?"
My master glanced at me and said, "Secondly, we are from the Jianghu community. You can't use your rules to restrain my apprentice, otherwise, forget it!"
That is to say, don’t apply your official rules, regulations, etc. to me. If you use them to restrict me, or even engage in moral kidnapping, there is no need to talk about it.
Assistant Ma wanted to say something, but Huo Haiwei stopped him.
"Okay! I agree!"
"Lao Huo!"
Huo Haiwei stopped Assistant Ma again and said to my master: "Only my words are of use to him. It won't work for anyone else, no matter who he is or how big an official he is!"
He was making a promise to my master in disguise, and my master nodded.
He continued: "I can add one more thing. When Master Wu is not in Jiangcheng, if he encounters anything, he can get my protection!"
I couldn't help but admire Huo Haiwei.
This kind of promise is not something people make lightly, especially someone sitting in his position.
If the person you promised to behaves recklessly, wouldn't it also involve him?
"Okay!" My master also said happily, "Then let's just say that if you have any problems, just go to him. If there is a situation that he can't solve, then give up. Do you understand?"
"I've written it down!" Huo Haiwei understood my master's reminder, stood up, raised his hand, and gave my master a fist-cup salute.
I began to look at him differently. A person who understands the etiquette of the world is also a person who values commitments.
"Master Wu! Now that the matter has been settled, we won't stay any longer. Since we have to go out tomorrow, I wish you a safe journey!" Huo Haiwei said.
"Thank you! Ziwu, see you off!" My master also stood up.
I quickly led the way, "Go slowly!"
"Your name is Ziwu?" Huo Haiwei stopped at the door.
"Jiang Ziwu! You can just call me Ziwu!"
"Okay! Tomorrow is the weekend. I'll call you on Monday. Can you exchange contact information?"
"Of course!" I took out my phone and exchanged phone numbers and WeChat messages with him, "Actually, Assistant Ma also has it."
"Of course I have to ask for your permission!" Huo Haiwei smiled, looked me up and down again, and patted me on the shoulder, "Young man is good! Okay, let's go!"
Assistant Ma also waved goodbye to me, "Master Xiao Jiang, goodbye!"
"Okay, bye! Walk slowly!"
I waited for them to walk out of the old street before turning back to the store.
The little fat man was pouring tea for my master diligently, "Master Wu, look, if you go on a long journey, Ziwu will be alone. I will work with him and I will have a companion. If there is any situation, I can help you."
Agreed!"
As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh. I walked over and sat down, "You can pull me down! I'm thankful that you're not trapped like last time. You'll only cause trouble for me if you follow me!"
"Brother, this is wrong! At that time, I was the only one who made the call, otherwise I could have been rescued... No, so many people could have been rescued? To put it another way, that is to say, we partnered and rescued so many people together.
People, look how well they cooperate!"
My master was amused by him and laughed twice, then looked at me with vague worry in his eyes.
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not embarrass you!" I quickly assured him.
"Ziwu!" My master put down the tea bowl, "I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried that this matter will be difficult."
"Why?" I didn't understand.
"Now is different from the past. This Huo Haiwei is an upright person. Even he came to ask for our help, which shows that things are not simple! Also, since they want to ask us for help, they will most likely encounter something weird.
, they can’t see through it, they can’t understand it, and they can’t solve the case.”
I nodded, I had thought of this before, but I only guessed that they thought of our line of work when they encountered an incredible situation and couldn't find the real culprit.
For example, someone may have seen something ghostly, or someone may have encountered a situation where he didn't die.
"Yes, I see that he encountered an evil spirit, but the murderous aura and righteousness in his body are the most taboo for evil spirits. They can't get close to him, but they can leave traces." My master continued, "
Therefore, no matter what matter he asks you to deal with, you must be cautious."
"Okay, I'll remember it!" I quickly agreed.
I was indeed a little impatient before, and I didn't like Huo Haiwei's domineering attitude. Although his attitude changed later, my emotional changes could not hide from my master's eyes.
I guess Huo Haiwei also felt it.
"Okay, I do have to go on a long trip tomorrow. You go and buy some food with Biaozi. After I eat, I want to tell you something."
I immediately asked: "Are you really going out? How far will it be? When will you be back?"
My master looked at me and smiled, "What? You are so old, and you don't feel at ease when I go on a long trip?"
"I'm not worried, just tell me how far and how long it will take!"
