Chapter 23: An Unexpected Meeting

Those stationed in the former headquarters of Huo Nie Family may not have thought that I would kill a "returning" the next day.

According to normal thinking, the most important thing I should do is to hold Chen Chong hostage and negotiate with them.

It’s not that I haven’t considered this approach, but unfortunately, between them and Chen Chong, I obviously believe in Chen Chong more. It’s better to trade with them directly with the heavy trading.

The second is that I don’t want to use Chen Chong as a bargaining chip for trading. Even if one day in the future, I will kill Chen Chong with my own hands, and I will not be able to use him as a bargaining chip. It feels like this is an insult to our past relationship, and I don’t need the understanding of others.

So, when I took a ride into the city, everything went smoothly.

My feelings are much sharper than before, and I have not noticed anyone around me who monitored me, not even a person who paid special attention to me.

I just bought a cake casually and walked straight to the street where Lao Zhou was imprisoned.

It's still very early now, but it's around 8 o'clock in the morning. It's a weekend again, and there are not many pedestrians on the street.

The street where Lao Zhou is located should be a snack night market street. In the morning, it is the quietest time. The roads are greasy and there are few pedestrians. The surrounding buildings should also be old buildings from the 1980s, mixed with some newly built buildings, which looks a bit messy.

If it weren't for a local from City C, it would be difficult for outsiders to find a place like this, so it was difficult for Chen Chong to hide Lao Zhou in such a place.

I quickly found the building according to the address given by Chen Chong.

Chen Chong had already ordered the people who were surveillance to leave, so I could go up without any scruples... I don't have to worry that the people sent by Chen Chong would leak any news due to the sudden evacuation. Because Chen Chong told me that these people were confidants, he could be sent to monitor Lao Zhou with confidence.

This is a relatively new building among the messy buildings, so it has an elevator.

I entered the elevator and went directly to the 14th floor where Lao Zhou was.

It was a long corridor after the elevator. Strictly speaking, this building is like a single apartment and does not have any large apartments, so it takes a long corridor to get off the elevator. Because the people living there are messy, the corridor is full of all kinds of debris, which looks very messy.

I didn't delay too much and walked straight to No. 07 where Lao Zhou's apartment is located. Chen Chong did not give me the key, but this was not a problem for me. According to my current strength, even the lock of the security door could be destroyed.

But unexpectedly, the door of Room 07 was not closed as I thought, but was hidden, which made me feel a bad premonition in my heart, and I immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

There is no place to hide in a room with one bedroom and one living room. I soon searched the room and saw no trace of anyone there?

Could it be that Chen Chong lied to me? This possibility is not great. I forced myself to calm down and carefully observed it. The lifted quilt, the messy instant noodles box, and the urinal specially prepared for people with limited mobility. All the details show that there was definitely a patient here, and the patient with limited mobility had lived there.

Chen Chong probably didn't lie to me.

I spent a minute observing these details, and then I saw a long trace on the wooden floor that was already covered with dust and had not been cleaned, as well as some messy palm prints. I suddenly thought of something, and immediately walked to the edge of the bed, reached in and touched it. The quilt was still warm, which means that the people here had just left for a while.

I probably had guesses, but my heart was still a little confused. I happened to see a man looking around at the door where I opened, looking cautious. I rushed over and grabbed the man into the room.

I was probably a little fierce, and the person I pulled in said repeatedly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? I am the property management of this building."

"Property management?" I asked with my eyebrows, not understanding why property management is looking around here early in the morning?

"It's property management! The rental houses here are rented by our property management. Something is wrong in this room. Out of responsibility, I want to come and have a look." Seeing that I let go of his collar, the property management quickly said to me, but his tone was inevitably full of complaints.

I calmed down and said, "I am a friend of the patient in this room and came to visit the patient. But not only is the door not closed, but there is no one else?"

"I came up from the surveillance camera. There were three people living in this room, two men taking care of one patient. But yesterday, the two men who almost took turns to take care of the patient left. But early in the morning, I saw a very thin man carrying the patient away. He didn't take the elevator, but instead walked into the safe passage. I felt something was wrong. You know, the owner could ask our property company to ask the person. If this person leaves, what if the rent is destroyed in the future..." The property manager heard that I was a friend of the resident, so he started talking nonsense, but the general meaning was nothing more than worrying about various things.

But I was not in the mood to listen to his long-winded words, and suddenly interrupted him and said, "A thin man carried the patient away? When did it happen?"

"Isn't this what happened just now? I saw it with another colleague on duty. I went up to see the situation. The complex below was blocking downstairs. However, I don't know if the four exits of the building can be stopped..."

Before the property management was finished, I ran towards the safety exit like an arrow.

I quickly went downstairs, trying to intercept the man before he took Lao Zhou's people away.

Unfortunately, even if I was extremely fast, it was too late. I didn’t meet anyone along the way.

But when I thought of carrying someone on my back, I was obviously walking so I couldn't walk fast just now. I didn't give up and started running around the building quickly. I would always meet the four exits, right?

In this way, I ran past two exits without seeing any special people, but finally at the third exit, the exit closest to the bustling street, I saw a thin figure, a man wearing a coat on his back, and was stopping a taxi and preparing to get on the bus.

I rushed over without saying a word, but unfortunately the distance was farther away, and the man had already left in a taxi.

How could I be content? Fortunately, this street is bustling and it is morning and it is easier to stop taxis. I stopped another taxi at a very fast speed and kept up with the previous taxi.

My heart was full of doubts, who would that thin man be?

Not long after, the taxi in front of me arrived at the destination, a shanty town equivalent to a slum. I watched the thin figure with a coat on his back and got off the bus.

Because I didn't care about it, part of the coat slid down, revealing half of the head of the person being carried. I looked at it and it was definitely Lao Zhou.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. As long as I didn’t follow the wrong goal, it would be a good thing.

Seeing their car, I threw a hundred-dollar bill to the driver. I didn't care about looking for money, so I got out of the car in a hurry.

I saw that the thin man entered from the entrance near a snack bar, and I rushed in. The gap was less than twenty seconds before and after, but when I entered the alley, I became bigger. The terrain here was very complicated, with forks everywhere. Where was the figure of the thin man in my eyes?

However, I was not panicked. How fast can I go with a man on my back? Moreover, there are residents everywhere here, and even if I spend some money, I can find out. Moreover, my speed is not slow and I can explore it everywhere.

So I walked into this shanty town and followed a larger main street to take a look at each fork.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the first fork, a huge spider rushed towards my face desperately. I subconsciously blocked the spider with my hands, but the spider bit a little bit inexplicably. Before I could take a breath and see the current environment clearly, a thin fist hit my lower abdomen.

How could an attack of this level of force threaten me? I grabbed the fist and neatly carried him over his hand and pressed him against the wall.

"You were bitten by my poisonous spider. If you didn't have my unique secret recipe, you would be dead." The thin man's voice was very awkward, and he felt like he was talking with his throat pinched.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him. After looking around, I saw Lao Zhou being placed on the ground next to me.

I looked at Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou saw me at first sight. He was excited, then laughed and cried, and then shouted: "Lao Lao, please let go of Hai Nian first."

Qin Hainian? I was really speechless. Why is this woman still so reckless? Thinking of this, my hand really felt paralyzed. It seems that she really put a spider and bit me.

"The third brother? Ye Zhengling!" Qin Hainian turned around and couldn't stand me talking, so she rushed towards me, hugged me hard, and then started crying, crying while saying, "What hat are you wearing? I didn't recognize you, thinking that I was caught up by those monsters again."

I was depressed. I am afraid that only Qin Hainian's highly myopia and rash personality would not recognize me because I wore a hat, right?
