There are many night markets or snack streets in urban villages.
Fireworks bird.
Xu Cheng parked the car on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette and thinking about various possibilities.
In the end, he confirmed his initial speculation.
Qianqian probably went to eat hot pot.
I am very aware of the habits of my unlucky daughter.
After all, it's not the first time I've done that.
Every time Qianqian eats hotpot alone, she likes to turn off her phone and concentrate on enjoying it.
This was nothing.
The champion of an underground boxing match is of course entitled to have a late-night hotpot dinner after the match and then go home to sleep.
It's just that today's situation is a little special.
In order to meet secretly with the video producer, the old man dismissed the competition early.
I guess it was because Qianqian didn't play enough in the game, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she was bored late at night. She happened to smell the hot pot restaurant in the village in the city, so she just had a late night snack here.
Xu Cheng explained his speculation to the old man on the other end of the phone.
The old man: "..."
It seems to be something that my champion can do!
Xu Cheng shook the ashes from his cigarette and said helplessly: "If nothing happens, I won't care. I'll go home and sleep. You be careful."
Who is the old man?
He doesn't need help, let alone being worried, otherwise he wouldn't be an old man.
But the old man thought about it and suddenly suggested: "You'd better take my champion back, otherwise I'm worried that she will encounter some messy things."
"Why?"
"It's still because of the video producer."
The old man explained: "If I were him, it would be impossible to accept a private message invitation from a 'strange netizen' unless absolutely necessary."
Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed, "You mean he's desperate?"
"At least we encountered some difficulties."
The old man confirmed.
At this moment, news came from the bodyguard beside the old man.
As early as Xu Cheng guessed that Qianqian went to eat hot pot, the old man had already arranged for his men to investigate.
Sure enough, Qianqian was at an open-air hot pot stall a few streets away!
The old man told Xu Cheng the location of Qianqian.
"Leave as soon as possible."
Xu Cheng couldn't see the old man's face, but he could tell through his voice that he must be smiling happily.
"After sending my champion home, if you want to come back here to watch the show, I welcome you."
Xu Cheng smiled, "Do you think something will happen tonight?"
"intuition."
The old man nodded, "It will be fun."
When the old man talks about "fun", he probably means "big things will happen".
Xu Cheng had no interest in this.
Since the video producer can reply to private messages, it means it must not be some kind of weird creature.
It is not a strange creature, which means it is difficult to obtain raw energy blocks from it.
"If there is something strange that cannot be dealt with, call me before the witnesses come." Xu Cheng instructed.
"must."
Of course the old man will agree.
The two hung up on each other.
…
Xu Cheng started the classic car.
I stepped on the accelerator and walked along the small road inside the urban village, intending to pick up Qianqian and go home.
As for the reasons for taking my daughter home late at night, they are all over the place.
For example, an old friend saw Qianqian on the road and reminded Xu Cheng.
It's relatively far-fetched, but my daughter, who has such a big heart, won't care.
But at that time, Xu Cheng never expected that the situation would happen next...
Never imagined.
he--
be lost.
Is the saboteur in this phone broken?!
Xu Cheng fiddled with his phone, refreshed it several times, and finally came to a conclusion.
It's not that the navigation is broken, but that the terrain inside this urban village is too complicated!
It is surrounded by low-rise buildings without elevators. The architectural styles are very similar, and there is no difference at all from the outside.
The distance between buildings is also very short.
A more spacious area of about five meters can only accommodate two cars traveling together.
The narrower one is difficult for even a small car to pass, so it is not a place for driving at all!
If we talk about the biggest difference, it should be the colorful signs and neon lights in the shops on the first floor.
The street lights were dim, and the light from the neon signs was mixed in, making it even more chaotic.
In such a complex environment, mobile phone navigation will naturally become unreliable, and even memory will be confused.
"Where is this place?"
Xu Cheng turned into a corner, and there were still buildings of a similar style in front of him without any signage.
The weather at night was extremely hot and muggy, and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily.
I don't know if I can get out after tearing down the wall on the side?
Um……
There should be no surveillance here, right?
Xu Cheng's eyes fell to the side.
He was wondering whether he would do something that was not very kind and would require compensation afterwards.
But at this moment, Xu Cheng saw a group of young people gathering together not far away.
Dress up in trendy clothes and laugh loudly.
Street dance, skateboarding, roller skating...
It's probably a group of guys and girls who like to hang out at night.
Xu Cheng rolled down the car window and stretched out his muscular left hand.
"Young man? Young man!"
Xu Cheng called a young man as he wished.
"Uncle, what's the matter with you?"
"Don't tell me yet, let me take a guess!"
"You're lost, aren't you?"
Xu Cheng: "..."
It doesn't seem to be my problem.
Xu Cheng shook his head, "Let me ask about a place, do you know how to get to Baiji Hot Pot Restaurant?"
"Oh, it's on another street, quite far from here."
The young man enthusiastically showed the way to the uncle, "Go straight from here, turn right at the traffic light, then go straight, turn left when you see the business hall, and keep going all the way to the end..."
After describing it for a while, Xu Cheng finally understood the route.
"thank you."
"You're welcome, uncle, please drive more slowly at night. It's difficult to walk around the village in the city at night."
Xu Cheng smiled and nodded.
These young people can be regarded as the standard negative teaching materials of "having mischief outside at night".
But how can this be considered "wrong"?
That is youth that only comes once!
Every second of life is unique, and you should always try your best to enjoy it.
Xu Chengru thought.
He said goodbye to the young people and drove along.
"Let me see, go straight...turn right..."
"Um?"
Xu Cheng passed a corner, and he had already driven past it, but suddenly he saw something not quite right.
He reversed the car again.
Xu Cheng's eyes fell on the corner of the street.
There was also a group of young people there, wearing hooded clothes, gathering together.
There was nothing strange about this, but Xu Cheng discovered that except for their clothes, this group of people was almost identical to the group of young people he met earlier!
Street dance, skateboarding, roller skating...
Even some action details are exactly the same!
Did you turn back again?
No.
Xu Cheng looked at the navigation again.
No.
Although the specific route cannot be clearly displayed on the navigation software, it can be clearly seen that Xu Cheng's location is not the same as before.
And even if he came back, how could those young people suddenly put on the same set of clothes?
Sweatpants, hoodie.
The clothes have reflective streamlined sequins.
The hat also covered his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
Xu Cheng rolled down the car window again.
After waving, a "hooded man" who looked exactly like the young man from before came over.
Xu Cheng raised his head and saw clearly the face under the hood.
Not a face, but a mask.
Simple to the extreme, with only ordinary facial features.
