Martial Arts Song

Chapter 269 Bounty
Luo Zongping's words confirmed the bad feeling in Chen Qing's heart.

After he "coincidentally" brought the mastermind behind the incident, Luo Zongping began to match people up at random.

This is actually quite normal.

After all, he is a master of "Jingbian", a rare talent.

Although Luo Zongping had been polite to him before, it was more for his own "pursuit of the truth".

But after this incident, his ability to do things and his style of doing things obviously really caught Luo Zongping's eye, making the other party look at him differently and want to get closer to him.

In this era, the only ones who can truly make you feel completely at ease are your blood relatives!
It was normal for Luo Zongping to look at him differently and want to establish a closer relationship between them after he had the intention of getting closer to him.

Only in this way will Luo Zongping gradually begin to trust him. Otherwise, without this relationship, no matter how familiar they are, he is just an "outsider".

Many masters with unique skills, if they only have one daughter, will choose a favorite apprentice from among many apprentices to marry their daughter, and then gradually pass on their unique skills and business to this apprentice.

This is why people in this era value blood ties.

Luo Zongping was obviously planning this.

Chen Qing understood this, but the other party did not explain it clearly, so he had no way to refuse. Besides, he also needed to integrate into the local "expert" group of "Hu Hai" through the other party.

So he replied: "Director Luo is a diligent and capable person, so he is naturally excellent."

After hearing this, Luo Zongping looked at him meaningfully and said, "You were able to capture this Yan in just over an hour. No matter what method you used, I believe you are a smart person and should know that this is not what I am asking. Don't use such polite words to perfunctory me."

In more than an hour, they caught Yan Peijiang, whose whereabouts he could not find out for the time being.

Such means, whether relying on relationships or one's own abilities, are extraordinary.

This is why Luo Zongping began to take Chen Qing seriously and intended to improve the relationship between the two.

"Teacher Luo, it's not that I want to be perfunctory with you, but I really have to do so."

Seeing Luo Zongping's directness, Chen Qing no longer tried to be perfunctory, and replied with a helpless look: "For my own reasons, I have some mundane things to deal with at the moment, so it is not appropriate to talk about marriage. Otherwise, it will only hurt others and myself. Sister Minzhen is beautiful, kind-hearted, responsible, and has extraordinary abilities and temperament. She is an excellent candidate for a wife, but I really have limited energy now and can't spare time to think about these things. I hope you can forgive me."

He wasn't lying.

Given his and the Chen family's current situation, it is indeed not appropriate to think too much about these things - this is also the reason why Chen Zhengzhong and Yang Ying, seeing that Chen Qing and Chen Yang are already seventeen or eighteen years old, still did not urge them.

While saying this, Chen Qing did not deliberately maintain a state of meditation, but let Luo Zongping sense his true emotions.

"Is this so..."

Sure enough, after Luo Zongping noticed Chen Qing’s true emotions, he nodded thoughtfully.

In addition, when the two parties first met, Chen Qing once said that his master had passed away. Luo Zongping didn't know what he was thinking and didn't ask any more questions about this.

He just said, "In that case, let's talk about this matter after you finish your business. I will accept your favor this time."

After saying that, he raised his hand and clasped his fists towards Chen Qing, then came to Yan Peijiang who was unconscious on the ground, casually grabbed Yan Peijiang with one hand, lifted him up like a chicken, and walked into the open warehouse at the back.

Ok?
Chen Qing couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

When he caught Yan Peijiang before, with his strength as a master of "Jingbian", it was not difficult for him to grab the other person's collar and drag him.

But it was impossible for Luo Zongping to lift up Yan Peijiang's entire body.

When a person is in a coma, his limbs are weak and will fall due to gravity.

But when Luo Zongping grabbed Yan Peijiang just now, no one knew what method he used, but Yan Peijiang's hands and feet were surprisingly hard!
As if cooperating with Luo Zongping's grab, he deliberately stiffened his hands and feet.

Chen Qing found this a bit strange.

"I guess it's some kind of Kung Fu..."

After some fruitless guesses in his mind, Chen Qing followed him into the warehouse.

Although we have already analyzed that the unconscious middle-aged man is Yan Peijiang, the boss of the "White Blade Gang", we must confirm it first...

ten minutes later.

Chen Qing walked out of the warehouse.

"The abilities of a 'divine transformation' master are indeed a bit outrageous for ordinary people, almost like 'demon magic'! No wonder there are so many folk legends in the world..."

During the ten minutes in the warehouse, Chen Qing witnessed the interrogation of Luo Zongping, the "great master".

In fact, the other party did not do anything. He just poured a basin of water on the middle-aged man suspected to be Yan Peijiang to wake him up, and then simply asked him about his identity and whether he was the mastermind of the incident in a condescending manner.

Although the middle-aged man looked struggling, he admitted it intermittently.

After watching it, Chen Qing couldn't help but look forward to "Lian Shen" even more.

Although he has never set foot in the realm of "divine transformation", he has witnessed the abilities of various "divine transformation" masters and is extremely curious about this realm!

This is also the reason why he came out of the warehouse now - he really wanted to practice martial arts at this moment!

"Om~"

Followed by the sound of a car engine.

Chen Qing got into the car again, started it, turned it around, and left the "Luo's Paper Mill".

This time, he left "Guoshan Road" and came to Jiulong Avenue in the "Sanyang" section, and then went straight to "Sanlin".

During this process, he no longer felt any eyes being fixed on him for a long time, except for the envious glances from passers-by when they saw him driving a new car on the road.

However, this kind of gaze is fleeting.

Soon, he drove his 90% new old car back to Sanlin Town, the heart of Sanlin District, where the Chen family rented a house.

As the black car gradually approached the Chen family's yard, the first person to look at it was Chen Yang, who was busy farming in the fields nearby.

At this time, it was already the end of May, and the corn planted in the spring had grown to as high as a person's waist.

At this time, it is necessary to weed and add fertilizer.

Although there is not much land next to the Chen family, it has been divided into many plots by Chen Yang, and different things are planted on each piece.

But because of this, the field is very messy, with weeds mixed in with seedlings of other crops. It is not easy to remove them and you have to distinguish them carefully, otherwise you might end up hoing up the seedlings.

So, it was basically Chen Yang who worked in the fields alone.

When a black vintage car was seen driving towards them, slowly slowing down, and showing a tendency to stop in front of Chen's house.

Chen Yang in the field suddenly stopped what he was doing, slowly stood up, and looked over.

As the black vintage car stopped and with a "click", Chen Qing got out of the driver's seat, and Chen Yang in the field suddenly cursed.

"I rely on!"

The next second, Chen Yang was seen running out of the field in a hurry. He turned around and looked at the 90% new classic car, and said with wide eyes: "Brother Bing, don't tell me this is the car you bought!" Chen Qing did not speak, but raised his hand and shook the car key between his index finger and thumb.

Then, under Chen Yang's gaze, he threw the car keys to Chen Yang and said, "I'm going to practice martial arts. Brother Yang, you can just watch. I'll teach you how to drive when I come back from practice."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the courtyard house rented by the Chen family and pushed it open.

Because of the delay in arresting Yan Peijiang, it was already past two in the afternoon. After entering the yard, Chen Qing immediately changed into casual clothes, then went out again, all the way to the Jiulong Avenue section of "Sanlin", then walked down the river bank stairs, sneaked into the "Red River", and began today's practice...

When he came back from practicing, it was already dark.

However, he kept his promise and taught Chen Yang how to drive.

While he was teaching Chen Yang how to drive, Xuanfeng, who had finished practicing long ago, also got into the car to learn.

Then, Xuanfeng, who was a master of "divine transformation", learned it immediately.

After only two trips, he became very skilled.

After seeing this, Chen Qing asked Xuanfeng to continue teaching Chen Yang, while he went to sleep because he had to get up early the next day to "practice his mind" and "practice his qi".

the next day.

Chen Qing woke up before four in the morning.

After getting up, he would "practice his mind" and "practice his qi" until about six o'clock, and then he would go to work.

When he arrived at "Guoshan Road" in "Sanyang District", workers from various factories who came to work in the morning were enthusiastically discussing and speculating about the invitation from the "Axe Gang" yesterday.

But because these workers are at such a low level, few of them can attend that kind of business conference, so it’s basically all blind guesses and rumors.

After listening to a few paragraphs, Chen Qing ignored it and quickened his pace towards the "Luo's Paper Mill".

During this period, he heard some "gossip" about the "Luo's Paper Mill".

Although there were not many people nearby when it happened yesterday, there were still workers from other factories in the distance who vaguely saw what was happening at the gate of "Luo's Paper Mill".

But they didn't see the details clearly, so they made up a lot of rumors, such as that "Luo's Paper Mill" was the first to be targeted by the "Axe Gang" and they actually beat up the "Axe Gang" people!
For example, "Luo's Paper Mill" offended the "Axe Gang" and will be retaliated against in the near future.

As for these rumors, Chen Qing merely heard them.

When he arrived at the "Luo's Paper Mill", he found that the factory seemed to have notified Gao Changzhi to work the night shift yesterday, because when he walked into the factory, he found Gao Changzhi in the guard room.

"Captain Lin, here we come."

"Ah."

After a brief greeting, Chen Qing started his work today.

Then, this morning was no different from any other.

"Luo's Paper Mill" still works half a day and then goes off work.

There is not much difference in other factories, and they are still carrying out daily operations as usual.

This continued for the next three days.

Except for all kinds of gossip and rumors circulating among the workers on "Guoshan Road" during breakfast time before work every morning, all the factories on this road are the same as usual.

Although Chen Qing was somewhat surprised by this phenomenon, he did not delve into it further.

It is an indisputable fact that the "White Blade Gang" of the "Three Sheep" was defeated and replaced by the "Axe Gang".

It is also a fact that the "Axe Gang" invited local merchants and manufacturers to attend the meeting.

But since there is no movement here, it means that the manufacturers here have reached an agreement with the "Axe Gang", so the situation remains as it is.

As for the "Luo's Paper Mill", Chen Qing believed that the "great master" Luo Zongping would handle it himself and he didn't need to worry about it.

Therefore, during these three days, his attention was focused on practicing.

Time flies, and soon it was May 21st to May 24th.

On this day, after Chen Qing woke up before four in the morning, he practiced "spiritual training" and "qi training" as usual.

After finishing his training, he went to work at the Luo Paper Mill again.

Since May 21st, Luo Zongping and Luo Minzhen have not come to the factory and no one knows what they have been doing.

The absence of the two people made Chen Qing happy and free.

At noon.

With a "crash", the door of the factory was slid open, and the workers and several caretakers including Chen Qing once again got off work.

Since there was nothing to do, Chen Qing did not stay for long. After saying hello to Gao Changzhi and others, he left work.

Then, as usual, he began to dive into the "Red River" and swim upstream to train his spleen.

When he finished practicing spleen training, it was already dusk.

After getting out of the river, Chen Qing wrung out his clothes and prepared to return home to change into a suit and then go to Xicheng.

Today was the final limit of the seven-day wait he had decided to wait.

He had to go to West City and confirm with Qi Yi whether the target of the silver-level mission he had accepted had been dealt with by the "Military Control Commission".

If it is done, that would be the best. He will go to "Gangqiao" in two days to settle the first silver-level mission he received after being promoted to a silver-level killer.

But if he couldn't get it done, he was ready to do it himself...

While thinking this, Chen Qing walked back towards the house rented by the Chen family.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the houses on the side of the road.

At this time, he was on "Lingqing Road" where the Chen family used to live. The surrounding area was full of cement buildings with unified style and layout.

In the past, many old or damaged rewards and notices from the police station were posted on the walls of buildings on both sides of the street.

People would occasionally glance at it and then pass by.

Chen Qing passed by here almost every day, and saw all these bounties and announcements. However, apart from occasionally checking to see if there was a bounty for his family, he had no interest in looking at them - because he was still young and had no intention of dealing with the central government.

Therefore, rather than being uninterested in the rewards and notices posted on the walls of his house, he kept his distance from them.

But today, the rewards and notices on the walls of the surrounding houses attracted Chen Qing's attention.

The reason is that a new one has been posted among these rewards and announcements.

The newly posted reward did not have any specific names or photos, but instead contained a paragraph of text in large characters:
"A high reward of 75 yuan is offered to find witnesses to the shooting incident on May st at Lane , Lintian Road. If there are any witnesses on that day, please contact Patrolman Jin Mingfa of the Sanlin Police Station, or Patrolman Cao Zhuo of the Tianxin Police Station. Thank you for your cooperation."
