Police cars shuttled through the originally peaceful streets, blocking some passages at the same time, as if something big had happened and they were busy.
Xu Cheng returned to his grocery store.
His body was still stained with blood, and his clothes had a large gash.
The three people who were eating hot pot in the room were startled when they looked at Xu Cheng who walked in the door.
"this……"
"Dad..."
"you……"
The three of them stopped their chopsticks at the same time.
But Xu Cheng waved his hand casually and wrote lightly: "What's there to see? Have you never seen someone who acted bravely?"
…
Everything is arranged by the old man.
The old man is indeed an old man, he actually prepared two plans for Xu Cheng.
The first set is the traditional old-school cleaning method.
Let the boys disguise themselves as community workers and use temporary iron fences and tarps to cover fixed areas.
Finally, slowly clean the designated area.
The advantage of this is that it will not alarm anyone, and it will be similar to the actions of the witnesses.
However, this method still has certain limitations, and it is difficult to deal with some established facts.
For example, there was a lot of blood spat out by the plant boy, and Xu Cheng himself suffered a knife wound.
Although it has been cleaned up by the plants of the plant brother and various professional men, there will still be traces after all.
Therefore, the old man prepared a corresponding second plan.
It is better to block than to loosen.
Since you can't hide it anymore, let's make the matter bigger.
The old man also had people at the Metropolitan Police Department, so he simply called for people to come and handle the matter openly and honestly, using the excuse that "thugs hurt people on the street, and ordinary old people act bravely for justice."
In fact, this statement is correct.
Scholars can also be considered a kind of thugs.
He first attacked the Star Chamber of Commerce, and then appeared in front of Xu Cheng in a provocative manner.
As a result, the incident was handled openly and above board.
Even if someone found blood here the next day, they would just sigh, "It's so dangerous," and that's it.
…
"It's okay, don't worry, it's just a skin injury."
Xu Cheng was sitting on the sofa, treating his wounds with a first aid kit, and casually waving his hands to the three people surrounding him.
The three people have different ideas.
[The old gentleman’s probability of fighting a scholar is 80%, but he was actually injured?!]
[It’s so dangerous. Is Uncle Xu’s health okay? Fortunately, he is strong enough, but it’s really dangerous...]
[Is it because dad hasn’t exercised much recently, or is his health failing due to his old age?]
Xu Cheng: "..."
Well, it turns out that my unlucky daughter is the most considerate.
What a little cotton-padded jacket!
But if you think about it, Qianqian’s sentiment actually makes sense.
She has been following Xu Cheng since she was a child. She has seen Xu Cheng kick away the speedsters who were snatching bags, and she has also seen Xu Cheng control the knife-wielding robbers with one hand.
Although it was already a child, her father's tall and steady image was already fixed in Qianqian's eyes.
No matter what happens, my dad is always by my side.
This kind of absolute trust between father and daughter is something that no one else can understand.
Well, that should be enough to comfort yourself.
Xu Cheng applied medicine to his wound, and then explained the whole story to the other three people.
It was just that he met a thief on the road and caught him after a hard fight, that's all.
"Why else would there be a siren outside the door?"
Xu Cheng's words left the three of them unable to refute.
Perhaps the only one among them who knows the truth is the little girl who is the president.
It is actually very difficult to lie in front of someone who can see through all probabilities.
…
The hot pot is still boiling and gurgling.
Xu Cheng was eating the hot-boiled mutton while thinking about what had just happened.
The old man’s younger brothers.
The younger brothers who can be brought out by the old man to do the floor cleaning work must be trustworthy confidants.
But among these little brothers, there are actually two people whose thoughts are as white as the plant brothers.
【……】
This situation was something Xu Cheng really didn't expect.
At that time, he directly established an original energy connection with Chu Qiu, and Chu Qiu's figure slowly appeared.
"The scholar is gone, and there is no trace of him around."
Chu Qiu was the first to make a judgment, and then directly checked the status of the plant boy and the two floor cleaning boys without Xu Cheng saying anything.
Just looking at the plant guy, you can't actually tell anything.
Extraordinary people each have their own characteristics, especially those like the Star Chamber of Commerce with a high degree of freedom. It is inevitable that they will perceive some messy things.
But if there is a control group, the situation is different.
Chu Qiu only needs to find the differences in the states of the plant boy and the floor-washing boy, and then discover what they have in common.
But what made her slightly disappointed was that despite repeated sensing, she could never find anything strange about the two floor-cleaning boys.
There is not a trace of original energy fluctuations in their bodies, so they are just ordinary gangsters.
Xu Cheng also slightly processed his induction results and told them to the old man and Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi activated his Black Water Mirror.
But in the end, Cheng Yi also shook his head, because his black water mirror couldn't detect anything strange about the two younger brothers.
"I'll pay attention."
The old man nodded, his expression calm.
"Things have to be faced, right?"
"But I feel very bad about what I have to face this time."
"intuition?"
"intuition."
"understood."
The old man nodded.
He trusted Xu Cheng quite a bit, so his attitude was naturally much more correct.
"I will have people keep an eye on the two of them, and at the same time search the entire Hai City for the...scholar you mentioned."
"No."
Xu Cheng shook his head, "Leave these matters to the witnesses. What you have to make sure of is - be careful."
"Be careful about what?"
"Everything abnormal."
…
The four of them returned to the dining table and finished the rest of the hot pot.
After meal.
Han Xing was the first to say goodbye.
He also needs to further investigate the possible movements of the Star Chamber of Commerce, so he will be very busy next time.
As for Qianqian, she had a game to play tonight, so she used overtime as an excuse to go out to the competition venue to warm up early.
The president's girl and Xu Cheng were the only ones left in the grocery store again.
Both of them still need to further analyze the scholar.
Since they had just exchanged hands, Xu Cheng had more guesses and doubts.
Of course, most of them are "doubts".
Xu Cheng walked to the door of the grocery store and planned to pull down the rolling shutter.
At this time, Xu Chengqi met the aunt who lived in the next building.
Xu Cheng greeted casually: "Have you had lunch?"
Aunt: "..."
She didn't reply.
A trace of doubt arose in Xu Cheng's heart, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he calmed down and listened to his aunt's voice.
