Chapter 90. Xiaota and Xiaochen(1/2)
It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. Old Yu's expression remained unchanged as he picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. The soup dripped down his gray beard and onto his clothes.
The tip of Zhou Jinru's chopsticks stayed a few centimeters from his eyes, holding a silver-white dart, only as long as his index finger.
"Elderly people should pay attention to safety when going out."
When Zhou Jinru put down his chopsticks, the dart landed on the table with a clang. His hand couldn't help but make the old man take a second look.
Old Man Yu took out his handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his beard gently, and said lightly: "It's a small trick."
"It's hard to guard against a villain."
A figure in the gang quietly retreated, but at this moment, Zhang Zhongtian took a step forward. When the soles of his shoes touched the ground, a raging heat wave rushed over, and almost all the gang members were submerged in it.
"What?!!!"
The landlord roared when he saw this, and the invisible ripples blew away the dozen or so men at the front, shattering a large wave upstairs.
Zhou Jinru frowned. Seeing that Zhang Zhongtian was about to go on a killing spree, the old man next to him had no intention of stopping him. He sighed silently and slammed his palm on the table. Suddenly, the four table legs were shortened, and the bowl in front of the old man fell on the table.
The chopsticks jumped up.
One chopstick flew quickly, got into the dense crowd of gang members, and plunged into the thigh of the sneak attacker who was trying to escape among the crowd. The other chopstick was inserted in front of Zhang Zhongtian's leather shoes, preventing him from moving forward.
Old Man Yu snorted: "A woman's kindness."
"If you don't intend to save, why do you want to kill?"
Old Man Yu didn't speak. After a few seconds of silence, he said calmly: "I can give you this face."
The first half of Zhou Jinru's sentence said that since you have seen gang members bullying community residents before and stood idly by on the grounds that they are not law enforcers, the second half of the sentence means why are you now acting as law enforcers to sentence gang members to death?
The status of the old man next to him is definitely not low. That's why some people want his life. It's a pity that he misjudged the situation. Since he dares to come out and show his face, it shows that he is not afraid of the young people hiding in the shadows. Besides, Zhang Zhongtian didn't even look at his head just now.
There was no reply, which showed that the dart was not going to work at all.
But Zhou Jinru had to take it, because as long as Old Man Yu scratched a little bit of his oily skin, Longmen was bound to face another wave of bloodshed, and Wei Yanwu was even more worried.
For the sake of so many lives, he could only take the initiative to stand up.
Moreover, Zhang Zhongtian was preparing to kill people wantonly, which indirectly showed that Yan Guo's attitude towards Longmen was more serious.
"You and I owe nothing to each other."
Old Man Yu patted his clothes, stood up, looked carefully at the mask of the man in black, and said: "In troubled times, we should use heavy codes."
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He sat in the distance and watched the old man and the young man slowly leave. However, those gang members who escaped the disaster ran away in a crawling manner and did not dare to stay for more than a moment.
If dozens of people died here today, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good place.
After a while, some daring tenants came out to move around, and countless pairs of eyes with surprise or panic fell on the man in black eating in front of the restaurant.
"Boss, check out."
After Zhou Jinru had eaten and drank enough, he took out his wallet. The restaurant owner ran out in a panic and waved his hand: "No, no, I'll treat you to this meal..."
"Hey, one code equals one code. You decide how much it will cost. I won't take it for free."
The restaurant owner couldn't resist and carefully reported a number. Zhou Jinru said nothing, threw down the banknotes and went upstairs to rest.
There are so many people, and he has important things to do tonight, so he needs to take the time to regain his energy.
Unexpectedly, just as he sat down by the bed, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Jinru walked over and saw that it was Murata Shigeru with a red face. As soon as he entered the door, he waved his hands like chicken claws wildly and shouted: "Mr. Fourth,
I saw it all, was that really you just now?"
Murata was so excited that he made chopsticks with the index and middle fingers of his right hand and clamped them in front of his face. However, the gesture was not very elegant. Zhou Jinru did not correct him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I just want to ask, do you accept a disciple?"
The young man from Dongguo's eyes shone brightly, and he almost had the word "worship" written on his face.
Zhou Jinru originally wanted to say that I can't master this skill without learning it, but he changed his words and said: "I don't accept apprentices, but if you want to make it as simple as I say, it's not easy as I say, and it's not difficult to say that you don't need to be a disciple. I said
Let me listen to you."
"Okay, okay, teach me quickly!"
"Just use chopsticks to catch the flying flies."
Murata Shigeru opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise: "Is this all right?"
"I don't know. It varies from person to person. We cannot generalize from person to person. Some people can only learn a little bit by practicing hard, while some people can become top masters with just three months of simple training."
After saying this, Zhou Jinru mercilessly closed the door, shutting out the confused Murata Shigeru.
This guy is good at everything, he's just so annoying.
He sat by the window and looked outside. People from the nearby police station came and left quickly. During this period, no one bothered him again.
I slept until the sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the walls of the room, giving it a warm tone.
Zhou Jinru stood up, put on his clothes, grabbed his mask and buttoned it up. When he opened the door, he happened to see the landlord standing outside with a troubled look on his face.
"What are you doing? The rent has been increased?"
"Here's your six hundred yuan. I'll give it back to you. You can move away."
Zhou Jinru thought it was reasonable. For someone as troublesome as him, it was better not to stay, otherwise he would cause trouble for others.
"Okay, but I'm away for the past few days because of something, so my luggage is temporarily stored here until I come back to pick it up."
The landlord had a complicated look on his face: "Hey, I'm not targeting you. After all, my place is small, and the people living here are all miserable people, and I really can't afford it. You just treat us ordinary people as pitiful."
"OK, no problem."
As a monster, this is not the first time Zhou Jinru has encountered this kind of thing. People are more afraid of powerful existences than the immediate troubles.
When leaving the house, the landlord told him to leave the key with him for the time being and wait until he came back.
…
In front of the Champs Elysees Hotel, several people were waiting patiently. When Zhou Jinru appeared, they quickly walked over.
"Sir, please come with us."
Zhou Jinru looked at it and felt that there was nothing wrong. He was first taken to a closed room to change clothes, and then someone came to tell him the relevant etiquette and precautions.
Several people arranged his clothes in front and back.
In front of the surveillance camera in another room, Wei Yanwu, the current controller of Longmen, was observing Wen Yuexin's guards.
"This person seems to have appeared out of thin air. Our people have not found out about his origins, but Xiaolin Zongxin is willing to vouch for it, so he should be able to trust it."
Wei Yanwu looked at the scene in the camera and said without looking back: "Mingyue, have you heard what happened at noon today?"
"heard."
"Yu Zelin was assassinated on the Outer Ring Road. The assassin committed suicide. This person was sitting next to him at the time. The intelligence shows that there is no connection between the two people. Theoretically, it is a coincidence, but we have to be careful."
Du Mingyue said doubtfully: "I heard that no one seems to have died. As a former minister of Dali Temple, Yu Zelin has always been ruthless. How can he be so easy to talk to?"
Wei Yanwu opened his mouth, revealing a set of fangs: "Speaking of which, you won't believe it. Just when Zhang Zhongtian was about to take action, it was this person who blocked the follow-up development. Yu Zelin really sold him a face."
"this……"
Du Mingyue's face was full of disbelief. The mysterious man in front of him was no one could tell who he was.
"Is it possible that..."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Wei Yanwu's eyes flashed with a strange color: "I know my brother's character best, otherwise the person who came to Longmen wouldn't just be a retired minister of Dali Temple. Let's do this first, and then take a look."
At this moment, in the camera, the man who had straightened his collar raised his head and faced Wei Yanwu and Du Mingyue. He raised his right hand as if it were a pistol.
…
"boom."
Zhou Jinru uttered one word and slowly put down his hand.
It's simply unreasonable. It's okay to observe in secret, but to be so blatant. If it weren't for Sir Chen, he would have walked away long ago.
He could imagine Wei Yanwu's livid face now.
"Sir, please come this way."
Zhou Jinru followed the waiter and walked into the back garden from a path. Several guards were patrolling back and forth, looking heavily guarded.
"There will be a celebration in the front hall today, so the hotel will be very lively and chaotic. Your task is to stay by Miss Wenyue's side and not let her get hurt at all."
"Um."
Zhou Jinru nodded and followed for a few steps when he suddenly saw a small figure flashing past among the trees in the back garden. The short gray hair was the small tower he had seen before.
The little girl cautiously shuttled between the guards, her short legs swaying, and she arrived at the pavilion in a blink of an eye.
She looked longingly at the cakes and fruits on the plate. She glanced around a few times. There seemed to be no one around. She quickly pressed her little hands on the stone bench, climbed up, grabbed a cake and hid it in her pocket, and then held two apples.
, turned around and ran.
Maybe it was because the noise she made was too loud and attracted the attention of a guard. Xiaota hid in a hurry and accidentally lost an apple.
The little girl felt particularly distressed as she watched the round fruit roll to the other side of the stone brick road. It was too late for her to pick it up, so she had to give up and return to the hiding place with the remaining loot.
