Martial Arts Song

Chapter 340: One Hundred and Sixty Favors
"What are you two looking at here?"

Chen Qing approached the two and asked in confusion.

Hearing his words, Lin Manli and Jiang Ying looked at him, then were startled, and then Lin Manli said: "I'm waiting for you!"

After saying that, she looked Chen Qing up and down and said, "Why did you change your clothes? This is not what you wore this morning!"

Early this morning, when Chen Qing sent Chen Zhengzhong, Yang Ying, Chen Yang and others to Lin Manli, he was wearing a suit.

Afterwards, after settling the Chen family, Chen Qing went straight to Liu Yilin's villa in Jiabei District, Xicheng District, and asked Liu Yilin to help contact Yue Suchun and Qi Yi.

Next, they discussed a series of things including setting an ambush for Furukawa Takaya.

During this period, Chen Qing did not tell Chen Yang and others what he was going to do, only Xuanfeng and Jueying had some guesses.

But in the end, Jueying was not used in the ambush of Furukawa Takaya.

However, because his clothes were torn beyond recognition by shrapnel during the battle with Furukawa Takaya, he had to find a new set of clothes on the way back.

Lin Manli and Jiang Ying were probably only looking for people in suits in the crowd when they looked around, so they didn't see him.

In response, Chen Qing simply replied: "I changed my clothes because of something. What are you waiting for me here for?"

Lin Manli wanted to answer, but then she saw that there were too many people at the entrance of the alley, so she shut up again.

Seeing this, Chen Qing immediately understood and said, "Let's go back first."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Manli nodded, then pulled Jiang Ying into the alley.

During the conversation between the two, Jiang Ying did not speak from beginning to end.

Jiang Ying, who was born in a poor family, has been tempered by life since childhood. She knows her limits and knows the rule that children should not interrupt when adults are talking.

After Lin Manli and Jiang Ying walked into the alley, Chen Qing followed them.

The three of them went deeper into the alley, but because of the explosion, in the alley that was usually deserted, every household opened their doors, and some were walking outside, or standing at the door to watch the situation outside. Some people were standing on the windows and balconies on the second and third floors, looking at the street.

In short, the explosion "woken up" almost all the people in the Sanlin District.

Chen Qing and the other two walked through the alley until they reached the deep lane where Lin Manli's home was located. There were no people around - because Lin Manli's home was farther back in the alley and on a low floor, her view was blocked by the outer houses, so she could not see what was going on outside.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Manli whispered, "Auntie Yang and the others asked me to come out and wait for you. They said that something like this happened in Sanlin and you would definitely be back soon, so they asked us to wait for you outside."

"Why don't you wait at home?"

Chen Qing asked with a slightly raised eyebrow when he heard this.

"That's what I said."

After hearing this, Lin Manli continued in a low voice: "But the one without the right hand you brought said that something like this happened in Sanlin. It would be inappropriate for all of us to stay in the house and not go out to check the situation. It would arouse suspicion. And they are all strangers, so going out would arouse more suspicion, so they asked the two of us to come out."

At this point, she glanced at Jiang Ying, then smiled bitterly and said, "That guy without a right hand you brought here is really rude. He treated my home like his own and ordered me to do things."

"I see."

After listening to Lin Manli's words, Chen Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Jueying's worry is not unreasonable.

If Takaya Furukawa had not died and continued to wander around the Sanlin District to investigate, this would indeed be a suspicious point.

But now, Furukawa Takaya is dead. Unless Ryuo can invite a "divine transformation" master to come and investigate, there is no need to be so nervous.

With this thought in mind, Chen Qing looked at Lin Manli and explained with a smile: "He lost his right hand a few days ago. It's normal for him to have a bit of temper. Please bear with me."

"That's it..."

After hearing this, Lin Manli said with a look of sudden realization: "No wonder he looks so cold. If I lost my entire right hand, I would probably not want to live! Well, since he is so pitiful, I will just bear with it."

"His coldness has little to do with the loss of his right hand."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "You don't have to be patient. They probably won't stay here for long."

Furukawa Takaya's problem has been resolved. In the next period of time, he will find a new house for the Chen family to move in.

Therefore, Lin Manli really didn't have to endure much.

Of course, the new house I find cannot be in Sanlin District.

There have been so many consecutive explosions here, and even a second-transformation "divine transformation" master like Furukawa Takaya has died here. It is estimated that this place will be "lively" for a while, and the attention it will receive, both overt and covert, will be unprecedentedly high.

Therefore, it is not suitable for him and the Chen family to stay here any longer, and they have to move to another place.

"You won't be here for long?"

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Lin Manli was stunned, "I took so much money from you..."

Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden "creak" sound and the door of her house opened.

Xuan Feng pushed the door open with a smile on his face, walked out, looked at Chen Qing and said, "Brother Bing is back, come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you."

At this distance, in fact, the conversation between Chen Qing and Lin Manli could be heard by masters like Xuanfeng and Jueying.

Chen Qing understood this, but because Lin Manli was an ordinary person, it was difficult for him to explain and he could only let her talk.

Moreover, because he had solved the hidden danger of Furukawa Takaya, Chen Qing was in a good mood, so he was in the mood to deliberately tease Jueying.

Xuanfeng probably pushed the door open and interrupted the two of them because Jueying inside looked unhappy after hearing what Lin Manli said, so he prevented Lin Manli from continuing to talk nonsense.

After all, Jueying is still the disciple of a peerless master, and they haven't spent much time together, so Xuanfeng is still unsure of the other person's temper.

In response, Chen Qing just smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Manli, on the other hand, was a little surprised that Xuanfeng showed up at such a good time.

But she didn't think much about it.

Then, the three of them walked into Lin Manli's home.

Under the skylight of the corridor in Lin Manli's house, Chen Zhengzhong, Yang Ying, Chen Yang, and Jueying were each sitting in a corner.

Yang Ying's face showed obvious anxiety as he paced back and forth.

Although Chen Zhengzhong and Chen Yang were sitting, there was also anxiety between their brows, and their brows were always slightly frowned.

It was not until they saw Chen Qing come in that the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Xuan Feng, who opened the door for Chen Qing and the other two, walked in and said to Chen Yang and the other two with a smile: "Uncle, Aunt, Brother Yang, I've already told you that Brother Bing will be fine. Do you believe it now?"

Chen Zhengzhong, Yang Ying, and Chen Yang ignored Xuanfeng and stood up together to greet Chen Qing.

"Bingbing is back, I'm glad you're okay!"

Yang Ying came to Chen Qing, looked him up and down, and said with relief. Chen Zhengzhong and Chen Yang didn't say anything, but just stood beside Yang Ying and looked at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing smiled and replied: "I'm just out doing some work, what could it be?"

Hearing this, Yang Ying turned his head and glanced at the corner under the skylight. Only Jueying was still leaning against the wall with his left hand, pretending to be cool. Then he turned around and whispered, "That young man said that the place where the explosion occurred was us..."

"I've come back well, haven't I?"

Chen Qing interrupted Yang Ying and said with a smile: "Anyway, the matter has been resolved. Next, our family will just find a new place to live. You don't have to worry."

He roughly understood what Yang Ying and the others were worried about.

It was probably because Jueying said that the explosion occurred where they used to live, so Yang Ying and the others were worried that something might have happened to him.

As for how Jueying made the judgment.

With the opponent's strength as a master of "Three Hua Qi Bian", even though his right arm was broken, it should not be difficult for him to climb up to the roof and see far away.

Combined with some rough calculations of direction and distance, it's normal to be able to recognize the exact location where the explosion occurred.

"The matter has been resolved?"

The first person to speak after hearing Chen Qing's words was Jueying who was leaning against the wall.

Jueying, who was originally leaning against the wall and did not come to greet him, first raised his eyebrows, then straightened his body, broke away from the leaning state, and walked towards Chen Qing.

As he walked, he looked at Chen Qing and asked in surprise: "Is the matter really resolved? Are you sure?"

Chen Qing looked at the other person, smiled and nodded, "Yes, sure, it's solved."

After hearing this, Jueying frowned and asked, "How did you solve it? Did you use the explosion just now?"

He immediately thought of the explosion just now.

Although he was not clear about Chen Qing's strength, through a brief contact one night, he was able to confirm that Chen Qing had not undergone any "divine transformation".

And even in his prime, in a one-on-one situation, it is hard to say whether he could stop the "divine transformation" master of Ryuo's second transformation.

Therefore, if the other party really dealt with the "divine transformation" master who had undergone the second transformation, it could only be with the help of external forces.

"Don't worry about this, the matter has been resolved anyway."

When Chen Qing heard Jueying's question, he smiled and said, "Now you not only owe Ayong a life, you also owe me half of it."

Takashi Furukawa was a threat to both of them. He invited the other party to join forces in the morning, but ultimately did not use the other party.

This means that the other party has not put in any effort.

After initially judging that Jueying was a bit too serious, he wanted to force the other party to accept the favor and test again whether the other party's character was what he judged.

If the other party was pretending before, then it will help him to recognize the other party.

And if the other person is really the kind of person who gets things right, then he will get the other person to owe him a favor for free, so he wins either way.

"..."

After hearing what Chen Qing said, Jueying fell silent.

After a long while, he said seriously, "If the matter is really resolved as you said, and I didn't contribute to this matter, as you said, I owe you a favor!"

When Chen Qing heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

……

For the following time, Chen Qing stayed at Lin Manli's house with the Chen family and did not go out again.

In the next few hours, it is estimated that Sanlin District will welcome many official people, and even the army and secret forces from other countries in the concession to spy on it.

If you go out for a stroll at this time, if you are unlucky you may be questioned and get into trouble.

So, Chen Qing chose to take shelter temporarily.

It was not until sunset that the streets and alleys in Sanlin District no longer gathered large crowds of people and returned to their previous tranquility. Only then did Chen Qing go out again.

The purpose of his trip this time was to go to other districts to find a real estate agent to look for a house.

Today in Sanlin District, the sudden incident has only attracted people, but the investigation and large-scale survey have not yet begun.

Chen Qing had to move his family to another district before the Central Government officials and other national spies in the concessions could conduct an investigation into the location and cause of the explosion.

Although Yue Suchun has taken on the aftermath work, he cannot just sit there and do nothing.

Although Yue Suchun has risen to a high position in the Central State officialdom, her personal power is ultimately limited. She does not have the final say in the Military Control Commission. In fact, because of her status as the chief researcher of the other party, her say is probably the smallest among those in the same high position!

Chen Qing has never been a person who leaves his fate to others, so he also has to make corresponding preparations himself.

And so it was, at dusk.

He went out alone, without driving, and went directly to Sanyang District to look for a house in an inconspicuous gray shorts.

The reason for choosing Sanyang District was based on forward and reverse thinking.

"Sanlin Town" is a very remote place. If someone really conducts an investigation in "Sanlin Town" and does find some clues and wants to find someone.

According to normal thinking logic, people who live in a remote place like "Sanlin Town" will most likely go to an even more remote and difficult-to-find place after leaving!
With reverse thinking, we would guess that the person we are looking for might use reverse thinking and not go to more remote places, but go in the opposite direction and go to the most lively place!
Both of these ideas are possible.

Therefore, Chen Qing chose the middle one, not going to the more remote places, nor to the most lively places, but to a place that was suitable in all aspects.

Sanyang District meets this characteristic very well.

It is not as lively as the seaside docks like Gangqiao District, nor as remote as the three poor districts of Sanlin, Zhoupu and Chenhang.

In addition, because Chen Qing had been working at the "Luo's Paper Mill" here, he was relatively familiar with this area. Therefore, he decided to look for a house in this area from the beginning.

When Chen Qing arrived at Sanyang District, night was gradually falling.

However, with the pace of social development in this world, it is rare to get off work on time, especially in an industry like real estate agency.

As for finding a house, as long as you are willing to spend money, finding a suitable house is just a matter of minutes.

Although Chen Qing gave Lin Manli 50,000 yuan, he still had more than 100,000 yuan left.

With the help of the magic of money, he randomly found a real estate agency in Sanyang District, and it quickly helped him find a house suitable for the Chen family.

Then, after a brief discussion, he paid the deposit.

Then at noon the next day, he asked the real estate agent to invite the landlord out, signed the lease and paid three months' rent.

Finally, after nightfall on the second day, he drove the Chen family, Xuanfeng, and Jueying to the newly rented house in the dark...
