In Canggu Town, the dirty Hummer stopped at a bus stop on the roadside.
"Get off the car? Aren't you going back with us?"
Judy was slightly surprised.
After experiencing this storm, she completely changed her view of this handsome boy who she originally disliked.
It is human instinct to respect the strong, not to mention this handsome and cultured strong man.
Although Judy's palace is not deep enough, she still wants to try to win over her. This is a habit developed in her bones as the daughter of a large group.
This is a master of martial arts! If I can win over him, it will be a great help to me. Dad will definitely praise me if he knows!
Judy grabbed him and said, "Don't leave yet. I'll treat you to dinner to thank you."
Cheng An had already picked up his luggage and refused with a smile: "We will make an appointment next time for dinner. I have other things to do. You can just leave first and don't worry about me."
"Do you have any conspiracy?" Judy suddenly narrowed her eyes warily.
"Hey, look at what you said. If I really have a conspiracy, can I still tell you?"
Cheng An touched his chin and said, "Let's do this. Add your contact information and we will be friends from now on."
"That's okay too."
Judy happily exchanged numbers with him.
How did she know that Cheng An actually had another purpose and needed to continue to get close to her?
Just playing hard to get.
At this moment, she was thinking that her opportunity had arrived, meeting a martial arts master, and she was feeling complacent.
Yan Xiaoxi was much calmer. After nodding with Cheng An, he drove away without much fuss.
There were two more seriously injured bodyguards in their car who were in urgent need of medical treatment.
After bidding farewell to the two young rich ladies, Cheng An looked at the time and got on the bus with an advertisement for Nancheng Real Estate printed on the body.
He actually had a headache. First, he forced out the underworld forces behind He Qiancao, and now he got involved with Judy.
I guess Yu Xiangtong had already started bragging to his superiors at their internal police meeting, saying that he would completely remove Zhu Jinhui within a month, right?
However, Cheng An essentially doesn't want to get too involved in this so-called "informant" task.
Judging from the fact that Judy can carry a gun with her, there is indeed something wrong with Nancheng Real Estate.
But what does this have to do with Cheng An?
The risk of investigating this kind of incident must be very high. It would be fine if the benefits were high, but now the benefits are almost non-existent, only the formal police establishment that Xiangtong promised in vain.
Hey, I am the chief Freemason, how rare is that?
Who would be keen on doing something with high risk and low return?
In the past, it was just a coincidence that the underground forces were corrupted.
Now...just drag it out slowly.
What Cheng An wants to do most now is not to get close to the landlord's silly daughter, nor to enjoy an unusual and easy life.
Instead, he desperately wants to improve his strength.
Through the package, I touched the three magic cores placed in the iron box. They were one ghost-type magic core and two Kun-type magic cores.
"Continuously using magic power to fight against other cursed forces seems to be able to deepen my mastery of magic power."
"After a fierce battle last night, the power of my fire breathing has improved slightly, and the burden on my body from breathing fire has also been reduced a little."
"Does this in some sense represent an acceleration of digestion?"
"The digestion of magic potion comes from the confrontation between different curses, just like raising voodoo?"
Cheng An's heart gradually became hot.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his heart gradually calmed down. He thought of a fellow villager who would rather die in order not to hurt his family, and he thought of an agreement he still owed him, which he had not yet completed.
…
…
The next morning.
Haicheng, Heping Town, in a cafe.
A delivery boy pushed open the door and found Cheng An, who was sitting in the corner playing with his mobile phone and browsing forums, wearing a mask and exaggerated round-framed glasses.
"Handsome guy, I delivered the flowers you sent, but the owner of the house is not here, so I left them on the property."
The delivery boy said, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "You are not kind, my husband just died, and he just sent it to the funeral parlor this morning, and you rushed to send flowers to that pretty widow..."
"Which funeral home?" Cheng An interrupted his rambling.
"It's the one in Xishanju."
"I know, this is your hard work fee."
Cheng An pushed out a hundred-dollar bill, picked up his bag, got up and left, and took a taxi to Xishanju Funeral Home.
This place is very large, bustling every day, and the business is excellent. After all, people are dying every day in this world.
After questioning, Cheng An found Liu Tao's family members who were waiting.
Today, most of Liu Tao's relatives are present. Some of them are waiting silently in the hall, while some younger ones, without any sad expressions, are playing with their mobile phones in the corner, or playing with each other.
Cheng An saw Liu Tao's wife.
She was a woman with a slightly chubby figure but fair skin. Her dress was not fashionable, but the sadness on her face could not be faked.
There were not many people who were really sad in the hall. Looking around, there were only Liu Tao's mother, his wife Li Xia, and his eldest daughter who was about eight or nine years old.
Their eyes were dull, their expressions were numb, and their bodies would twitch from time to time.
Liu Tao also has a little daughter who is about three years old. She is very small and looks like a small cabbage.
She didn't understand anything yet and couldn't understand what "Daddy is dead" meant, but the sadness of her mother and sister infected her, so that the child, who was naturally playful, tightly held the hem of her mother's skirt with her little hands.
His face was full of fear and innocence, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Liu Tao's body is still waiting in line for cremation.
At this time, a staff member came over and whispered something into Li Xia's ear: "There is a person outside. He said he is your husband's friend. He wants to bring you a few words alone."
The widow was stunned for a while, then her eyes slowly regained focus, and she nodded slowly: "Okay."
She asked her mother-in-law to take care of her daughter, and walked out with a slight lag in her steps. She came to an agreed-upon wall and saw Cheng An, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, and his face was unrecognizable.
The latter pondered for a moment and said: "Hello, sister-in-law, Liu Tao and I are good brothers who are close friends in life and death. He said that if he dies, let me bring his words to you."
Li Xia opened her mouth and asked: "What... did he say?"
"He said that he was not a good father or a good husband. He secretly kept a woman outside and kept her in Nanyuan Garden." Cheng An said.
It can be seen that after he said this, Li Xia's shoulders shook visibly, but her face regained a lot of rosy color.
She clenched her fists and said a little coldly: "I know, haha, I have had suspicions for a long time, just for the sake of my children, I never wanted to expose..."
"Sister-in-law, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"...?"
"Brother Tao said that he knew he was wrong, but it was just a momentary impulse, and he never wanted to leave you;
"In addition, he kept cash in the safe in the storage room of that house, the password, it was your birthday, and the house book was under his mother's bed.
"He knows he is at fault and he can't repay it. He just wants to tell you that he is sorry."
Li Xia's body shook, and she slowly raised her head, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes: "He didn't die naturally, right? Can you tell me what exactly he went through?"
Cheng An was silent for a moment and then said: "I can't say much else. I have two things to tell you. Although it may not be polite to say this, I hope you can keep it confidential."
"Okay, I won't tell others." Li Xia swore.
"The first thing is that even if Liu Tao died, he would still die as a husband, a father, a son, and as a human being."
"Uh?" Li Xia looked confused.
"The second thing is that his mistress is dead." Halfway through, he added the second half of the sentence in a sinister tone:
"I killed him."
"Ah!" Li Xia was so frightened that she took a few steps back and covered her mouth.
"Both daughters are very cute." Cheng An suddenly added inexplicably.
ah?
Li Xia was stunned for a moment, then she remembered something and shook her head desperately: "I, I will keep it a secret!"
"Well, raise your children well and don't dwell too much on regrets. If someone will be good to your children, I don't think Liu Tao would mind if you find a stepfather for them."
Saying that, Cheng An took half a step back, bowed deeply, then jumped over the two-meter-high wire barrier, slipped into the forest, and disappeared.
…
It's night, September 20th, twenty-four o'clock at midnight.
The countdown returns to zero.
With the arrival of the familiar stars, whose depth of fear is hard to describe, Cheng An, who had already bathed and changed clothes and was fully prepared, quietly stepped in.
