Chapter 19: Come back with us?
Lu Xuan just lay down on the bed and just started to meditate on the seventy-sixth avenue text, when there was a rapid knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.
"It's so late, who is it?"
There was no change in his expression, and he was not upset because the light that had just emerged in his mind was interrupted. His whole person was like a vast lake, neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor ripples.
When he came to open the door, Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment.
Standing outside the door were two muscular men wearing Supervisory Office clothes, both with extremely impatient expressions on their faces.
One of the bald, muscular men shouted loudly:
"The Supervisory Office is working. Have you seen this wanted criminal?"
As he said that, he pulled out a portrait, and the face on it was Wu Datong who was very familiar to Lu Xuan.
His expression condensed slightly and he said calmly:
"I know you. What crime did Uncle Wu commit?"
"Is that what you should ask?" The supervisor's tone was very rude. They were part of the combat order of the Supervisory Office, and they were all high-ranking practitioners. Naturally, they looked down on these mud-legged people in the shanty towns.
"Someone reported that you have a good relationship with Wu Datong and you run to his house every day, right? Tell me! Are you an accomplice? Are you an accomplice?!"
Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged:
"You have to tell me first, Uncle Wu, what did he commit and what law did he break?"
"Oooh?" He was temporarily summoned to perform a mission late at night, and he was already in a bad mood. But when he saw the calm look of the young man in front of him, without any fear at all, his anger suddenly surged up.
"Now I suspect that you are Wu Datong's accomplice, come back with us!"
After a pause, he looked at his teammates and said:
"How about this for now? I really don't want to stay in this muddy pond any longer."
"That's okay." His teammate smiled and said, "It's enough to capture Wu Datong's son and this little kid. Let's go!"
The two of them were talking and laughing among themselves, but at this time, people opened the doors of the houses on both sides of the street one after another, looking around, wanting to know what was going on.
When they saw the people from the Supervision Office, they all retracted their heads as if they had seen a ghost. As soon as the door was closed, the window was closed, and the curtains were hurriedly drawn.
Lu Xuan frowned. Isn't the Supervision Office responsible for maintaining public order and safeguarding the interests of the general public?
Neighbors and folks, why are you so afraid?
Doubts arose in his mind.
Before he could think about it carefully, the supervisor took out the handcuffs and was about to cuff him.
Even though the shackles would fall apart if they broke lightly, and even though the supervision of the two practitioners in front of him was extremely weak, Lu Xuan still did not resist.
He is a man who abides by etiquette and rules, and the rules are as big as the sky.
However, after putting on the handcuffs, Lu Xuan said seriously:
"Can you contact Director Ji of the Supervision Bureau for me? I was in a hurry last time and forgot to leave my phone number."
The two supervisors were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and laughed.
"Contact our director? Little baby, are you crazy? Stop talking nonsense here and leave quickly!"
With that said, he pushed Lu Xuan into the car with a brutal push.
Wu Xiaoxu was also in the car, also handcuffed, with tears streaming down his face and panic written all over his face. When he saw Lu Xuan coming up, his expression suddenly froze.
"Brother Xuan? You"
"It's okay." Lu Xuan said calmly: "Do you know what happened to Uncle Wu?"
Uncle Wu is an excellent person. What he does most often is to consult poor people in shantytowns for free. He often goes to poor towns around the city to practice medicine and rarely charges money.
Lu Xuan didn't believe that Uncle Wu would commit a crime.
Wu Xiaoxu shook his head vigorously with tears in his eyes, crying:
"I don't know either! My father can't do bad things, it's impossible!"
"I know." Lu Xuan nodded slightly and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was stopped by the two supervisors who got on the bus.
Soon, the car started to drive away from the shantytown at high speed. It was only then that some residents of the shantytown came onto the street.
Butcher Zheng glanced worriedly at the surveillance vehicle that was driving away, and sighed:
"What a sin. Why did Datong become a wanted criminal?"
Apparently, the supervisor had knocked on his door just now.
On the side, Butcher Zheng’s wife, known as Mrs. Zheng, also frowned:
"Old Zheng, did you hear what those two supervisors said just now? It was said that someone reported that Xiao Luxuan and Wu Datong were closely related. Who do you think did this? Are they so vicious?"
They lived next door, and the houses in the shanty town basically had nothing to do with "soundproofing", so they naturally heard the conversation just now.
Butcher Zheng took a puff of cigarette:
"If you ask me, I don't know. Mr. Lu has never had a bad relationship with anyone. He is kind to everyone and has a good heart towards everyone."
After thinking for a while, he said again:
"Speaking of which, is it related to the martial arts alliance?"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Zheng was stunned.
"I was supposed to hand in this week's payment yesterday, but no one came to collect it, so I went to inquire about it."
Butcher Zheng explained:
"The area of the vegetable market is the territory of the Baixiang Martial Arts School. In the past, all the regular money was handed over to them. The third child of the vegetable market said that the grand master of the Baixiang Martial Arts School was beaten to death at the Supervision Office. The big shots in the Baixiang Martial Arts School are busy these days. You are so focused on fighting for power that you don’t have time to collect money.”
Sister-in-law Zheng was a little confused:
"What does that have to do with Wu Datong?"
Butcher Zheng made a sound and began to analyze in a decent manner:
"Look, the Supervisory Office and the Martial Arts Alliance have been refusing to deal with each other. Killing the White Elephant Gym Leader is a sign that the two sides are going to fight. Wu Datong came to our shantytown a few years ago. Do you still remember? His first conversation was extraordinary!”
After a pause, he continued:
"Perhaps he was once a member of a certain martial arts school. He was kicked out because he was fighting for territory and power, and now he is being liquidated by the Supervisory Office!"
"How can it be so mysterious? I think you drank too much horse urine, so you just opened your mouth and came!" Aunt Zheng said scornfully.
Butcher Zheng stared:
"What are you talking about, you old woman? My analysis is well-founded! How many times have I told you that you must learn to look at the big from the small, otherwise you will never be able to get out of the shanty towns for the rest of your life!"
"I've been with you for so many years, but I haven't seen you leave the shanty town, and I haven't seen you let me live a good life. When I married you, I didn't even have a wedding!"
Butcher Zheng's momentum decreased, he smiled coquettishly, and then sighed:
"I can't control Wu Datong. I just hope that Mr. Lu can be safe and sound. No, just wait for me. I'll go find some old buddies from the market to see if any of them know anyone from the Supervision Office!"
"Then go quickly!" Sister-in-law Zheng, who had always been mean and cunning in the past, urged now: "Lu Xuan is a good boy. Go find your friends. I'll try to see if Li Xiaosang's previous phone calls can still be answered!"
"Sure!" Butcher Zheng immediately agreed: "I have forgotten about that girl Li Xiaosang. She is a big shot now, and she has an old relationship with Mr. Lu. As long as we can get in touch, she will never sit idly by and ignore her!"
