It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. Old Yu's expression did not change, he picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. The soup dripped down his gray beard and fell on 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 they go 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 calmly: "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 slapped the table suddenly. The four table legs suddenly became shorter, 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 had seen gang members bullying community residents before and stood idly by for the reason that they were not law enforcers, the second half of the sentence meant 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. Unfortunately, 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 couldn't accomplish anything 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 each other nothing."
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 rolling and 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 brave tenants came out to move around. 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 of the restaurant in a panic and waved his hands quickly: "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 get 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 so many eyes. He has important things to do tonight and needs to take the time to regain his energy.
Unexpectedly, just as he sat down on 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 it's not difficult to do it. There's no need to become a disciple. I said Here you go."
"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 okay?"
"I don't know. It varies from person to person. We can't generalize between people. 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 except being annoying.
He sat by the window and looked outside. People from the nearby police station came and soon left. 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 saw 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 out."
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 I have something to do, 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. I really can't afford it, so 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 going out, the landlord said that he would leave the keys 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 thought there was nothing wrong. He was first taken to a closed room to change clothes, and then someone told 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 there seems to be no death. 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, this person stopped the subsequent 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 one 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 it's 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 is 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 shuttled between the guards vigilantly, her short legs swaying, and she arrived at the pavilion in a blink of an eye.
She looked eagerly 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.
Perhaps because she made too much noise, which 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.
"Ah, sister, are you back?"
The little girl with two cute ponytails ran over happily, opened her little hands and hugged Xiaota.
"Oh, let go, let go quickly, the cake will be squashed!"
Xiaota first pushed his sister away, put the apple into her hand, and then took out the cake from her pocket. Sure enough, it was accidentally crushed.
How should they divide a cake and an apple?
"I'm not hungry. I'll give you the cake. If you want apples..."
The slightly older little girl used her nails to draw a mark on the skin of the apple: "This half is yours, and the rest is mine."
But the arc she drew was clearly biased towards her sister.
"I am starving."
The younger sister ate the cake with satisfaction, and Xiaota showed an envious look. She suddenly noticed something, turned her head suddenly, and found a man wearing a mask standing not far away looking at them.
"W-who are you?!"
Xiaota stretched out his hands to protect his sister behind him, but her height was too small in front of the man, and the two of them together were not big enough.
"elder sister……"
The younger sister grabbed her older sister's clothes in fear.
Zhou Jinru looked at the young sisters and said in a hoarse voice: "The princess is looking for you, don't let her wait too long."
After saying that, he walked backwards and left.
When the strange person walked away, Xiaota breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but mutter: "Huijie, you are too cowardly!"
"Sister, too, you were shaking just now."
"..."
The younger sister took a bite of the apple and handed it to Xiaota: "Let's eat it together."
…
"Where were you just now?"
Wenyue held her chin. The bodyguard Xiaolin Zongxin had disappeared for two minutes and suddenly came back. Although she had restrained herself very well, she still found what he was looking for.
"Your Highness, I just noticed a little movement. It's okay now."
"Oh? What did you find?"
"Two hungry little kids."
Wen Yue's pupils shrank slightly, she slapped her forehead, and said angrily: "Oh my God, why didn't I notice it earlier? Come on, go prepare something to eat. It's my fault. Xiao Ta and Xiao Chen will definitely be unhappy! "
Zhou Jinru stood behind Wenyue and didn't say another word.
A moment later, the two little girls came to Wen Yue with an anxious mood. Before she could speak, Wen Yue clasped her hands together and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's my fault. Let's eat."
Xiaota curled her lips. When she saw the man half-hidden in the darkness, her eyes were surprised. She didn't expect to find him.
Little Chen Huijie's body swayed as she walked up to Zhou Jinru and raised her childish face: "Who are you?"
"Xiao Chen."
Wen Yue stopped her in time and warned: "This is the guard uncle. He is working. Don't disturb him if you have nothing to do."
Zhou Jinru's eyes swept over little Tallulah and little Chen Huijie from time to time. Compared with Wei Na, who was ugly when she was a child, these two sisters were much more beautiful. The dragon girl in her childhood was very courageous and adventurous. Mentally, maybe because he was well protected by his sister, Chen is much softer.
These two children are very important to Wei Yanwu.
and……
Zhou Jinru's purpose of walking around was not to really find anything. He was using his emotional perception to find Koxiche. It seemed that Black Snake had not approached the sisters yet.
Perhaps, he had a chance to expel the Black Snake in 1077, so that the tragedy of Tallulah would not happen?
Just when he had such thoughts, several waiters came in quickly from outside and whispered: "Miss, the immortals from the academy are here and hope to meet you."
"What do you mean, Mr. Wei?"
"Mr. Wei said it depends on your mood."
Wen Yue pursed her lips and looked dimly. After a few seconds, she stood up slowly: "Okay, lead the way."
Zhou Jinru followed closely. As a guard, he should follow. Moreover, he was also curious about what the so-called immortal looked like.
