"Let's go this way."
"Don't fall behind, the situation is urgent! It may not be safe here!"
Wu Zifan had followed these strange armed men all the way to Ruifeng District.
He could feel that these people had no ill intentions toward him for the time being, but he didn't know where they were taking him and why they were in such a hurry.
Does it sound like you are trying to save someone?
However, Wu Zifan is not disgusted with this "new" experience. On the contrary, after safety was ensured, his curiosity began to come alive again.
The thunderstorm was heavy and seemed to show no sign of stopping.
Everything was blurry in the rain. This seemed to bring a bit of psychedelia and mystery to the scene in front of me.
Is the truth of this world opening to him little by little?
"They're over there! Hurry!!"
"ah--!!!"
He suddenly heard a huge and ferocious roar.
It seemed that before his brain could react, his body had already started to move.
"Wait, stop that kid quickly! It's very dangerous over there, don't let him pass!!"
Yes, dangerous. Of course it is dangerous. And it can even be said that what can make these people panic must be a more dangerous situation than before.
But why is he so excited?
Boom - click!
Lightning tore open a corner of the sky, and thunder light poured down, illuminating the street scene. But in Wu Zifan's field of vision, the silver-purple light did not fade away due to the disappearance of the lightning.
There are countless light spots scattered on the ground, linking countless beautiful purple brilliance, as if the clouds are turning and thunder is rising from the ground.
The sky-shattering roar could not break the shackles of the chain, and the huge sword shadow penetrated the shoulder blade of the "beast". The dark figure standing in the corner just brushed against the "beast", hooked his right hand, and a sword flew up from the ground and landed in his palm.
Everything was completely beyond Wu Zifan's understanding of the world. It was a fantasy scene that he had never seen even in movies.
But the half of the face illuminated by the electric light from bottom to top seemed to be frowning, causing a shadow to fall on the furrowed eyebrows:
"Someone from the Secret Service?"
Wu Zifan was convinced that the other party was not looking at him. Because the person who was closer to that person than him was another team that had already pounced on him just now. But the feeling of oppression really spread to him.
No one answered. The only thing that responded to him was a dense array. He even saw someone with a gun raised.
Under the rain curtain, the tense atmosphere seemed to be enough to condense into thick rain.
But what made Wu Zifan feel even more inconsistent was that voice.
He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere.
"Wait! Wait! It's a misunderstanding! He is not an enemy! That is Xu Wenbo!"
A sudden human voice broke in, like a cat's tail hitting a glass bottle, making a crisp sound.
The tense atmosphere seemed to stagnate.
"Well, that Mr. Nan! They are also here to save Professor Yu! Don't be nervous! Don't misunderstand! Can you put the sword down first!"
"...There are so many of them aiming at me with their guns, you tell me to put down my sword first?"
The voice seemed to sound more familiar.
"But you are holding a sword more powerfully than they are holding a gun... No! Lao Meng, I can't speak anymore! Can you go and make it clear to the Black Tiger people!! If we fight again, it will be over! Can you save me, the wounded person first!"
"...The walkie-talkie you are holding is a piece of metal, right? You can't report the situation to the captain?"
This is another male voice,
"Dongyao, this is Dongsan. The target Xu Wenbo has temporarily lost the ability to move, and there are four wounded on the scene. Black Tiger has arrived. Mr. Nan is suspicious of Black Tiger's identity, and a confrontation broke out at the scene. Please give instructions."
"Dongyao received it. This is Jinlin, everyone pay attention and maintain the status quo. The target is not an enemy now, so don't anger the target. I will arrive at the scene immediately."
"Beep, ring, ring—"
Under the rain, a cheerful default cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded, adding a strange atmosphere to the scene.
Looking around, Wu Zifan noticed someone sitting in the corner.
An old man.
Everyone's eyes were focused on it.
Wu Zifan heard the vague voice of the person on the intercom:
"No need to stop him."
He saw the man bend down and pick something up, and then the ringing stopped.
"Hello? Yes. It's me. What's wrong?......Next Monday night? What are you going to do?......Ah, that's it. You should go then.......Hello? Can you hear me clearly? Is it? It's a little noisy, it's raining outside. ...No, it's not a big deal. The man named Luo is nervous. You tell him it's okay. So it's three days later...I should be free. You are What time is the class? Let me change with you."
"What a fucking shift! You still want to go to work after three days like this?!"
The old man who was sitting in the corner suddenly jumped up, pointed at the person's head and began to curse,
"And you, what are you doing now?! You are pointing guns at my student! He is here to save me, he is injured! You are all blind! Are you going to wear him down until he dies? ! What on earth are you here for! You must be here to kill me too!!"
Wu Zifan heard it clearly now. But he found it even more ridiculous.
"Professor Yu...Yu? So this is...Senior Brother Nan? Is it Senior Brother Nan?"
He moved closer to the figure in disbelief, trying to see the other person's face clearly through the crowd.
Just kidding. He thought that Nambotu was at most an insider. result?
"Bixie, what are your people doing! Hold Wu Zifan quickly! Don't let him get close to the target. We can't yet determine how dangerous the target is!"
Wu Zifan was quickly pushed to the ground by a group of people. Dirty, cold rain hit his cheeks. But his keen sense of smell allowed him to smell the smell of blood mixed in the rain. It was the smell of blood that even the heavy rain could not wash away.
More importantly, facing the light on the ground, he finally saw the man's face clearly.
And the man was looking at him.
"No, don't listen to him. It's just a small car accident. The old man can't see the blood, so he gets angry. .........Yeah. Of course. Don't you know that I'm a doctor? It's your turn to worry about it? You listen. My voice is stable, what can happen?"
If he hadn't seen the mess on the ground, the phantom beyond scientific common sense, or the red patch on the other person's chest, the person who heard this sentence would not have thought that anything thrilling had happened here.
But Nan Botu just glanced at him and had no intention of explaining to him.
Wu Zifan now suddenly realized why Nan Botu always treated him like a "child". Whether Nan Botu was secretive or secretive about him, it was always just Wu Zifan's own feelings.
Namboto was never afraid of revealing any secrets, and he never felt that he was different because he knew more. Of course, it was not to protect him like his father - he was just too lazy to tell because it might be troublesome. That’s all.
Just like now, this guy must have known what he knew, what he saw, and what he did, so that he would not be surprised that he appeared here. But he still said nothing.
Because no matter how much Wu Zifan knew and no matter how outrageous he did, in his eyes, it was just "ah, like this" and he couldn't cause much trouble at all. Anyway, he can make amends in the end.
In front of him, Wu Zifan was indeed no different from a "child" who was ignorant and even gradually grew up.
Naturally, there is nothing to say.
A new figure broke into the rain curtain.
"Is Xu Wenbo under control? Where is Nan Botu? By the way, doctor, where is the doctor?"
"Are you in charge?"
He heard Namboto glance at the man, then turned to ask the man next to him whose arm seemed to have been dislocated.
"Yes. Ah, do you two want to talk? You have to believe us, we are really here to save you..."
"I know."
"? You know??? Then you still-"
"Because you are not sincere. First there is the sniper who has a 'bad habit' of looking at people with a scope, and then there is the person in charge who is six minutes late for running. Isn't it reasonable for me to be a little wary? Right?"
Dong Jie grimaced and continued to try to explain:
"It is true that we have failed in our duty to be late. This time the situation was too sudden and our response was not timely enough. But we have mobilized all the teams as soon as possible to come for support. There is always a time lag..."
"I'm sorry. It was my hesitation when making decisions that put you in greater danger. I solemnly apologize to you and Professor Yu. I will immediately notify the snipers to evacuate."
"……?team leader?"
Yang He's words stunned many people present. What kind of encrypted communication are these two people talking about? Why can’t they understand it?
"Well, you see, the person involved knows best what he was thinking at the time. Seeing as you are not pretending to be stupid, I won't say anything."
Nan Botu nodded, his alert posture obviously relaxed,
"I only represent myself here today, so I won't interfere with the rest. You can deal with it yourself. Teacher? Are you injured? Let their doctors check you..."
Yu Huisheng didn't understand what the two people were talking about, but when he mentioned the injury, he jumped up again:
"Show me something! Look at yourself first! You, what are you going to do now? I'm not a surgeon! 120, I'll call 120 right away!"
With that said, Yu Huisheng seemed to have come back to his senses, and with trembling hands, he began to feel for his cell phone in his pocket.
"Our base is nearby. You are Professor Yu's student and worthy of our trust. The Secret Service can provide you with the best treatment."
"...Teacher, I'm not that serious. The wound has been temporarily sutured with zhenqi, and the bleeding has stopped. It's just that it looked scary at the beginning. Just ignore it, a shot of tetanus will slowly heal on its own. Yes. And the Nan family..."
"At this time, it doesn't matter whether it's the Nan family or the Bei family! There is treatment, right? Right now! Right now! Even if it's just tetanus, you have to give me a shot before I finish it! Are you a teacher or am I a teacher? Huh?! Listen to me! !!”
Dong Jie looked at Nan Bo Tu's head that suddenly drooped, and seemed to see the words written on his face: Oh, what's the use of being awesome if you can fight, you still have to be trained like a quail by the teacher...
Hmm... Suddenly I felt that this guy was actually no different from ordinary people, right? Huh.
…
After Xu Wenbo was subdued, with the cooperation of Nan Botu, the Secret Service's finishing work was carried out very easily. But everyone may not be so happy in their hearts.
After all, it was as if they had prepared dozens of tanks and were fully armed to fight the enemy. The tasks on the road were completed smoothly. However, when they arrived at the enemy base, they found that the situation on the scene only required them to treat the wounded + collect the corpses... I felt relaxed and embarrassed at the same time.
What is the point of making such a fuss?
However, the Secret Service has obviously not forgotten its original target - the Huo family. Almost all the Huo family's thugs were wiped out, but the direct lineage of the Huo family was still blameless. If they don't provide sufficient evidence to prove the fact that the Huo family has touched the bottom line of the crime, the Huo family will easily cut off from these thugs, and even accuse them of being suppressed by people from the Secret Service on trumped-up charges.
The key to the evidence is at the scene and in Wu Zifan's hands.
There won't be many things left at the scene. After all, the Huo family must be on guard. The people on the black market are probably all gone by now. But as a key figure, Wu Zifan's completely cooperative attitude from the beginning suddenly turned to worry.
But during the three-hour conversation, he neither made demands nor sought protection. No one knows what the problem is.
And this time "Nan Bo Tu" who "made famous in one battle" is also one of the "tough" goals of the Secret Service. As long as they have seen the scene where the thunder suddenly fell and Xu Wenbo was locked up, no one would not be eager for Nan Botu's special "skills".
Especially after the people from the medical department tested that Nanbotu's strength was indeed only at level 7, the members of the duty team all seemed to be possessed, and came to peek at the "legendary" wounded person who was resting with bright eyes, provoking him. Yu Huisheng, who had to watch from the side, couldn't help but kick several strong men away.
On the contrary, Nan Botu himself looked very calm, as if he had expected this kind of scene, and was even a little surprised. At this time, he had disinfected, applied medicine and sutured the wound, put on a clean new coat, and seemed to be fine. Just when he was sitting there, he would occasionally show some expressions of thinking and trouble.
Yu Huisheng thought that he could not understand his student more and more. Now that he thinks about it, he can already use his true energy to give himself first aid. So the research project on "innocent energy" that he threw to him before was probably partly because he wanted to study it in depth, and partly also to test himself, right? I want to test how much scholars who are on the frontline of research know about "zhen qi".
Is Nan Botu exploring the secret of Qi as a doctor, or has he become a doctor in order to go further?
If he hadn't known that it was hard to say things when he was in the Secret Service, Yu Huisheng would have really wanted to pick up this little brat's ears and ask him what else he was hiding from him.
This time it was a serious knock on the door. It seems that they have finally finished handling the follow-up and have some time to question them.
"Please come in."
As expected, it was Yang He who pushed the door open.
However, Yang He did not intend to put his entry point directly on Nan Botu. In his spare time while finishing the work, he looked back at the surveillance footage recorded by Nie Tianyao. Although the video cannot show the form of Qi, it can present the person's expression and posture in complete details.
Compared with the strong visual impact of the real energy and the straightforward fact that Xu Wenbo was captured, the picture of Nan Bo under the camera was actually more shocking to him. Calm, decisive, free in control, good at calculation, flexible in mind, and fearless of life and death, these characteristics and abilities may not be found in the agents on duty of the Secret Service, but they appear in a doctor who does not even have a record of "fighting in the street" , this is completely unreasonable.
Even a genius must have the opportunity to be exposed to such matters. There seems to be no such opportunity in Nanbotu's files. A person can hide his past so well. If he doesn't know it himself, then it can only be because he doesn't want others to know.
Not only was the Secret Service not of much help this time, but he almost offended the other party because of his hesitation. Although he had to admit that based on the intelligence the Secret Service had at the time, his hesitation would probably cost the lives of Yu Huisheng and Nan Botu, causing these two people to become bait for the Secret Service to deal with the Huo family— —But Nambotu discovered this at the first opportunity and almost exposed him on the spot, which made the current position of the Secret Service much more embarrassing.
At this time, the possibility of getting Namboto to reveal the secret was basically zero.
However, as long as the relationship between Yu Huisheng and the Secret Service is still there, judging from the fact that he is willing to rescue Yu Huisheng alone, the relationship between Nanbotu and the Secret Service will never be severed; one day, he will even Yu Hui was born to seek the protection of the Secret Service - although this sounds very much like they are using Yu Hui as a bargaining chip, the fact is that it is the case, and the Secret Service has no reason not to use its existing advantages.
"Excuse me. We want to ask Professor Yu about today's affairs. Is Professor Yu convenient now?"
"Ah I……"
Ling Yao laughed, looked at Yu Huisheng who looked hesitant, and showed a blank and innocent expression:
"? Look at what I'm doing, you're not asking me. Once you're done asking, you can leave. I want to go back to sleep."
"...I know how to sleep every day. Either eat or sleep. It makes me so angry..."
Old man Yu patted his clothes in embarrassment, muttered and walked towards the door.
In fact, Ling Yao is quite embarrassed now. Despite his expressionless expression just now, he looked very calm and calm, but that was only for the battle itself. In fact, he was particularly angry today.
The reason why he was calm was because the fight with Xu Wenbo seemed difficult, but it was actually not dangerous. There are a lot of desperate guys in the world of Mang Sheng, and they are also full of various uncertainties. Ling Yao can also deal with that kind of guy. In comparison, Xu Wenbo is really easy to understand and predict. .
But today the matter itself is different. Wu Zifan's explosion completely deviated from his judgment of the entire Fengcheng situation, allowing the Huo family to intervene in the storm in advance, and also caused Yu Huisheng to almost fall into danger - this was not at all what he expected.
What's even more frightening is that until now, there has been no movement at all in his text message box. In other words, although the incident happened in the black market and may have an impact on the "main plot" in the future, Lin Tianyu, the "protagonist", was not even a "passer-by" in this incident.
In other words, what happened today has nothing to do with the "plot" at all! The complainers have no idea!
This is completely different from the state where "all major events are related to the protagonist" that Ling Yao experienced before. This was also the reason why he relaxed his vigilance against the movements of the Huo family, Wu Zifan and even Yu Huisheng from the beginning.
The development of this world certainly does not revolve around Lin Tianyu alone. But because he had the "system", could hear the "complaints" of the "complaints", and understood the "plot", he almost forgot this without realizing it!
This couldn't help but make him a little scared. If he has been immersed in the emotion of "resisting the plot and escaping from the fate of the villain", isn't it a state of being "controlled by fate"?
What he needs is not to be bound by fate and to live his own life well. He should take everything around him into consideration, instead of just thinking about countermeasures around the "protagonist" and judging the direction around the "plot".
After you have figured this out, and then reflect on your past behavior, you will find many loopholes. Just like what happened today, if he could figure out Yu Huisheng's thoughts earlier, instead of thinking "Things that have nothing to do with the main plot can be put aside later"; if he could discover Wu Zifan's abnormality earlier, instead of thinking "this guy It doesn't even appear in the plot, so it shouldn't matter." If he could have grasped the Huo family's information earlier, instead of thinking "the villain can be dealt with by the protagonist"... today's incident could have been completely avoided.
As for the Secret Service, his prejudgment also deviated due to the "plot". Because the Secret Service is a "positive character" in the "plot" and is set as a violent law enforcement agency of the country, he subconsciously had the impression that it was "absolutely credible" and "should fight for it with all his strength."
But in fact, because the power of the Secret Service determines that their status is not superior to other aristocratic families, "sacrifice" and "trade-offs" in their actions have become commonplace. Therefore, Yang He would hesitate and weigh whether to save them or take the opportunity to wipe out the Huo family at the critical moment of life and death.
No one can say that they are not "serving the people" and "contributing to the country", because their "sacrifice" and "sacrifice" are never only for others, but also for their own people. What's more, more often than not, people like Meng Jie'an and Dong Jie will risk their lives to save them.
But in the final analysis, when this kind of "giving up" is forced on oneself, it is never pleasant. The reason why Yang He apologized in the end was definitely not out of regret, but because he knew that they needed this apology emotionally.
Of course, he still has to fight for the Secret Service. After all, his plan still needs the intervention of the Secret Service to achieve maximum effect. Even if he does not intervene, he still needs the Secret Service to protect Yu Huisheng and others. But his attitude needs to change. He cannot seek opportunities with the intention of joining a Utopia, nor can he imagine that he will get the support of the Secret Service if he achieves results; rather, he should treat the other party as a force in the big world of Mang Sheng, talking about cooperation and exchange of interests. It is to let the other party take the initiative to seek help from you.
So he showed a lot of cards this time and also maintained an appropriate silence. Fortunately, this change is not too late.
Then. at last.
"Ah, but by the way, have you finished talking to Wu Zifan? I have some cooperation with Wu's Medical Center, and I have some friendship. I want to have a few words with him. It shouldn't affect your work, right?"
He was going to beat up the bratty kid who was causing trouble and causing trouble for him! ! ! !
