Chapter 20 If your child doesn't like you, don't force it

In the wind and snow, the figure stood firm.

His blood and energy intertwined outside his body, making him extremely conspicuous in the gray sky. He carried a sword and his eyes were extremely sharp, yet with a hint of playfulness.

From a distance, I saw Li Che carrying braised meat, jars of wine and osmanthus cake.

Li Che paused, his first reaction was...his crime had been exposed.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no reason. He changed his body shape with the Tao fruit of [Dragon Elephant Vajra] and did not leave any clues.

If the crime has not been exposed...

The chief constable from the government office, after investigating the death of Sun Changbiao, did not leave but appeared in front of his yard. What was his intention?

For a moment, Li Che couldn't figure out the reason and was at a loss of thoughts.

"Are you Li Che, Master Li?"

With his palm covered with calluses from practicing swordplay, Zhao Chuanxiong placed it on the cloth-wrapped hilt of the sword. He looked at Li Che who was approaching and asked with a smile.

Li Che's hands were full of things, so he could only symbolically clasp his fists and say, "It's me, sir. What can I do for you?"

Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Li Che, sized him up secretly, then shook his head imperceptibly.

Judging from Li Che's mental state and aura, his cultivation level had probably just broken through to the great success of skin grinding, nothing more. It was impossible for him to be the bone-hardening thug who killed Sun Changbiao with ruthless and decisive means.

According to Liu's description, the murderer was nearly two meters tall, with a sturdy body, dense muscles, and was extremely terrifying.

It is very different from Li Che's figure.

However, Zhao Chuanxiong naturally did not come to see Li Che because of this.

"Liu has confessed." Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Li Che, still maintaining a half-smile.

Li Che's heart trembled, and he instantly understood what Zhao Chuanxiong was talking about.

"Did you receive a wooden sculpture of an angry-looking spirit infant the day before yesterday? That was placed at your doorstep by the deceased Sun Changbiao..."

"As a follower of the Spirit Infant Cult, he has set his sights on your family's Spirit Infant."

Zhao Chuanxiong raised the corners of his lips and stared at Li Che.

Upon hearing this, Li Che gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I know. My daughter Xixi was targeted by the Lingying Cult right after she was born, so I worked hard and became a woodcarver in a woodcarving shop and moved into the Xuji compound..."

"I thought I could rest easy and my daughter would grow up safely, but I never expected that after Xixi's first birthday party, the Spirit Infant Cult would come to our shop again..."

When Li Che talked about the deep feelings, his face turned red and he was filled with anger.

"Master Chen speculated that the wood carving was placed by someone in the shop, so he asked Master Chen to look for it, and finally confirmed that it was done by Sun Changbiao."

At this point, Li Che's face showed fear: "Captain Zhao, I didn't kill Sun Changbiao, I..."

Zhao Chuanxiong kept staring at Li Che, and when he saw that he was talking incoherently, he raised his hand and waved.

"Okay, I know that you can't kill Sun Changbiao. You don't have the ability to do so..."

"After all, it's related to you. I'm just asking routine questions."

Zhao Chuanxiong turned around at the right time and looked into the yard.

"Master Li, why don't you invite me in and have a seat?"

Zhao Chuanxiong smiled and said, "I heard that you have superb wood carving skills. Maybe I will have to ask Master Li to carve for me in the future."

Li Che hesitated for a moment after hearing this. In his heart, he didn't want the other party to enter the yard, but since the other party spoke so directly, he had no choice but to invite him in.

The gate was opened.

Zhang Ya was standing pretty under the eaves covered with thick snow, while Xixi was strolling in the yard after the snow was swept in a wooden walker.

Seeing an official entering the hospital, Zhang Ya's face turned pale instantly.

"My husband..."

She shouted hurriedly, thinking that Li Che had done something wrong.

Li Che put down the things in his hand and waved to Zhang Ya: "This is Captain Zhao from the government office. He is here to investigate something. It's nothing serious."

Zhang Ya nodded when she heard that, and her tense heart relaxed.

Zhao Chuanxiong appeared beside Xixi without knowing when, and said with a smile: "This is Master Li's daughter. She is so lively and cute, and as beautiful as a carved jade."

When Li Che heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and alarm bells rang.

"Yeah, all kids are like that."

"Old Zhao, I really like children. Could I hold one for you?" Zhao Chuanxiong said gently.

"I'm shy, I'm sorry, Captain Zhao." Li Che refused without even thinking.

However, Captain Zhao pretended not to hear anything. He squatted down and looked at Xixi: "Xixi, let your uncle hold her down, okay?"

Xixi stared at Captain Zhao with her big, crystal clear eyes. The next moment, she started sliding away in her walker.

However, Zhao Chuanxiong laughed and stretched out his hand.

Li Che's eyes narrowed, and the [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit in his heart began to beat slightly.

However, he quickly suppressed it.

Because the hand that Zhao Chuanxiong stretched out was grasped by another hand, and he was unable to hug Xixi.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Captain Zhao, the girl doesn't want you to hug her, what are you doing?"

Old Chen was not tall, with a patinated wine gourd on his waist. He stretched out his hand and just held down the hand that Zhao Chuanxiong extended.

The wind and snow in the sky seemed to suddenly stop at this moment, as if they had frozen in mid-air, and were then silently torn apart by the terrifying strong wind and exploded into misty snow powder.

The two opposing energies collided with each other with a loud bang, like huge waves colliding with the sky.

Zhao Chuanxiong turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Dabao who was trying to stop him. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"It turns out to be Master Chen..."

"If the child doesn't like you, don't force it. Don't leave any shadow on the child."

Old Chen said calmly.

"Grandpa Chen... hold me." Xixi, who was standing nearby, saw Master Chen and bumped into his legs while riding her walker, calling out to him in a baby voice.

"Oh, my darling, come here, let grandpa hold you." Old Chen looked at Xixi, and his face instantly blossomed with a smile like a chrysanthemum. He picked up Xixi from the walker.

Zhao Chuanxiong stopped squatting and stood up, putting his hand on the hilt of the knife again.

"What a lovely child."

Zhao Chuanxiong looked at Xixi who was carried away by Lao Chen and said with a smile.

Li Che's heart also relaxed slightly.

"Master Li, Master Chen, I'm leaving first."

Zhao Chuanxiong did not stay in the yard for long. He waved his hand and left the yard. His figure disappeared in the misty wind and snow.

Old Chen held Xixi in his arms, rocking her back and forth to play with her, causing Xixi to giggle.

While looking at Zhao Chuanxiong's receding back, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Che, don't let anyone into the yard easily from now on, especially strangers..."

Old Chen said solemnly.

"Xixi resists Zhao Chuanxiong not because she is shy. Xixi is a spiritual person who has the ability to distinguish good from evil towards her. This Zhao Chuanxiong... has bad intentions." Old Chen said.

Li Che's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"He told you that Liu confessed and that it was Sun Changbiao who placed the spiritual infant wooden sculpture in front of your yard?"

Old Chen looked at Li Che.

Li Che nodded.

Old Chen smiled, his voice a little cold: "From the beginning to the end, Liu only admitted that she and her husband worshipped the Lingying Sect, but never admitted to placing the Lingying wood carving at the door of your house..."

"Moreover, the spirit baby statue found in Sun Changbiao's home was an ordinary spirit baby statue with three heads and six arms, and its eyes were closed and opened..."

"How did Zhao Chuanxiong know that the one placed in front of your door was the 'Angry Spirit Infant'?"
