Chapter 206 Farewell
After coming out of the Police Bureau headquarters, Chen Chuan stood in front of the wide gate and thought for a while. Since he decided to confront the Mutual Aid Association last time, he had not returned to the company or spoken to them by phone. The company was not far from here, so he should go and take a look.
He remembered that the families of wealthy young men like Ren Shu had certain business dealings with those powerful families, and even relied on the latter to a certain extent. However, in Yangzhi City, anyone who wanted to do business had to go around those people.
People like Ren Shu were actually children who were not valued much by their families, so they were neither trained as heirs to the family business nor sent to Wuyi College. That's why they chose to start their own company.
I don’t know if they were involved in this matter.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a number of police cars driving out of the headquarters. At this moment, the window of a car opened and someone stuck his head out to greet him: "Brother Chen?"
Chen Chuan recognized him as Patrolman Xu Gui, whom he had met at the station after training a few days ago, and responded with a cry, "It's Brother Xu."
"Alone? Where are you going? How about Brother Xu give you a ride?"
Chen Chuan said, "Brother Xu, are you on official business?"
Xu Gui said, "Nothing. I was ordered to confiscate certain people's property. Those things are there and can't be escaped. There's no need to rush for a while."
Chen Chuan declined politely, "No, thank you, Brother Xu. It's only a short walk for me."
"Okay, say hello to Captain Nian for me." Xu Gui didn't force it. He glanced at his colleagues in the car, said something loudly, retracted his head, and soon the armored vehicle drove away in a puff of dust.
After Chen Chuan left, he walked a few blocks and arrived near the company building. The security guard saw him and opened the door with surprise, saying, "Mr. Chen, Manager Ren and the others are here too?"
Chen Chuan was a little surprised, "Oh, are you there?"
"They're all here, all here."
When Chen Chuan entered the company building and saw Ren Shu coming out of the elevator, he was delighted and walked quickly towards him. Ren Shu said excitedly, "Mr. Chen, I'm so glad you're okay." Then he apologized, "We heard about your situation and wanted to go and support you, but our families restricted us."
Xiao Jiang, who was standing next to him, said, "Brother Chen, you don't know this. My family heard we were involved with you, so they told us to immediately remove your name from the company and warned us not to have anything to do with you in the future."
“Who listens to them?”
"Exactly. They even threatened to cut off our funding and shut down the company. Tsk, we started the company with our own pocket money and assets given to us by our elders. Do you really think we're using their money?"
"If you ask me, Brother Chen did a great job. Shao Xiaobie and his group usually look at people with their eyes on the top of their heads. They don't even look at people straight in the eye. I feel sick just looking at them."
Others echoed the sentiment, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot of bullying, mainly because the family elders often compared them with Wei Jun, Jiang Wei, Shao Xiaobie and others, and they were already fed up with it.
Chen Chuan looked at them and it seemed that they were not affected at the moment, but it was hard to say what would happen next. He reminded them, "Brother Ren, the situation may change later. Be careful."
Ren Shu said solemnly, "I know. Thank you, Brother Chen, for reminding me."
Chen Chuan knew that Ren Shu and the others might not understand the specific business, but they were exposed to it every day and should understand it.
Because it was almost time for dinner, after having a meal with everyone at the company, he left the company and took the car driven by Xiao Wei back to his aunt's house.
Since I came back, the sound of patrol cars from the police station outside has been incessant and continued all night long.
When Chen Chuan got up in the morning and turned on the radio, the news he heard was that some powerful families in Yangzhi City had colluded with Molan Company to occupy water resources and intended to use toxic substances to kidnap the people around Yangzhi City to fight against the government.
After hearing the news, he was sure that the matter of Molan Company should have come to an end.
I believe that after today, all the upper-class people who collude with Molan Company will be condemned by everyone, and Yangzhi City will turn over the old chapter and usher in a new chapter.
After returning from a round of boxing outside, the phone in the living room rang. He went to pick it up and heard Cheng Zitong's cheerful voice: "Xiao Chuan, did you know the news? Molan Company has gone bankrupt."
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, teacher, I understand. I listened to the radio this morning as well."
Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "School will start in a few days. I've already prepared your application materials, Xiaochuan. Once school starts, you can apply for a place in the central city. If there are no changes, you should be approved quickly."
Chen Chuan raised his head and said seriously, "Thank you, teacher."
Cheng Zitong laughed heartily. "You're such a polite student, huh? Well, you've been too nervous these past few days. Since there are still a few days left before school starts, you should take a good rest. We can talk about anything when we meet."
After Chen Chuan hung up the phone, he walked out of the room and stood on the steps at the door. He looked up at the morning sun shining down from above, and watched the green leaves beside him swaying gently in the wind. He felt a rare sense of relaxation in his body and mind.
He stretched out his hand, watched it reach into the sunlight, felt the breeze, and then slowly clenched it. From the living room came his aunt's voice, "Chan'er, it's time for dinner."
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." The voices of my cousins came.
Chen Chuan responded: "Okay, I'll be right there."
The voices of Nian Fuli and his aunt were heard from the room again:
"I have something to do at the bureau today, so I have to leave early."
"I know. Remember, one pack of cigarettes a day. No more."
"Okay, I've been saying it every day. My ears are getting calluses."
"Every time you can't remember, I have to say more."
Chen Chuan smiled, took his hand back, and turned to walk into the room.
After breakfast, Nian Fuli went to the bureau, and his aunt also went out with his cousins. Chen Chuan was alone in the room reading a book, enjoying the rare leisure time.
Around noon, a voice came from outside: "Is Xiaochuan home?"
Chen Chuan recognized the voice as the owner of the small shop at the corner of the alley. However, the other party was also a family member of a police officer, and her son often helped deliver things to her home.
He walked out, opened the door and asked, "Aunt Qiu, what's going on?"
Aunt Qiu was a middle-aged woman in her fifties. She said, "Xiao Chuan, when I saw you come back yesterday, I thought you were here. Someone called you, and I asked who the caller was. He said he was a martial arts student with you. I thought you were a Wu Yi student, but the caller didn't sound like a Wu Yi student, so I asked him again..."
Chen Chuan didn't wait for her to finish, smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qiu, I know who it is now."
"You know? Oh, I told you." Aunt Qiu stopped talking with a hint of unsatisfied feeling. She walked towards the alley with him and asked again, "By the way, is your aunt here today? The sweater you knitted last time had a really good pattern. I'll have to ask your aunt to knit you another one someday... Nian Da... Nian Da Brigade, I noticed you left home earlier than usual..."
While Chen Chuan was dealing with her rambling, he walked to the front of the store, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello, this is Chen Chuan, is this Brother Lu?"
He guessed that the person who called should be Lu Ke. Because Yu Gang had a criminal record, he couldn't leave his aunt's home phone number, so he left the phone number of the grocery store at the corner of the alley, and he only left it to others this time.
As expected, Lu Ke's voice came from the other side, "Brother Chen, it's me...Brother Chen, are you free? Can you come over? The teacher wants to see you, at the old place, the Fist House..."
Chen Chuan suddenly remembered what Lao Feng had said about the Iron Chain Gang when he came back yesterday. He didn't ask any more questions over the phone: "Okay, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, he thanked Aunt Qiu next to him, returned to the yard, took out the bicycle he had never ridden, and rode towards the Boxing House.
Since Yu Gang had joined the Iron Chain Gang a long time ago, it seemed that he didn't want to have anything to do with him and had no contact with him. Later, he went to look for him once, but couldn't see him. After that, there was no contact. Thinking about it, it was almost a year since then.
A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the alley of Quanzhijia, got out of the car and walked in. He saw Lu Ke sitting on an old tire, as if waiting for him. After seeing him, the latter stood up immediately, but when he saw Chen Chuan clearly, he was stunned.
Chen Chuan had grown a little taller in the past year, and as a second-level fighter, he had even killed two third-level fighters. His spirit and energy were completely different from before, so he almost couldn't recognize him at first glance.
When Chen Chuan saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Lu, long time no see."
Seeing that familiar smile, Lu Ke came up to him. He also smiled and clapped his hands. Then his eyes dimmed and he said, "Master..."
Chen Chuan looked into the building and asked, "What happened to Teacher Yu?"
Lu Ke pursed his lips and turned to walk into the room. Chen Chuan followed him. When they got inside, they saw Yu Gang sitting on a chair. He looked pale and his originally strong body looked a little thin. He only had one arm left. His legs and other hand were missing, and there were bright red bloodstains on the gauze wrapped around him.
He said, "Teacher Yu, you..."
Yu Gang was very calm. "Nothing. Yesterday, I was responsible for stopping Molan Company together with the people from the Iron Chain Gang. Since I promised to do something for others, and the Iron Chain Gang helped me solve the problem, I should also give something in return."
Lu Ke's eyes were red as he said, "Master crawled back last night with one hand."
Yu Gang shook his head and said, "Compared to those who died there, I'm much better off. At least I'm still alive." He looked at Chen Chuan for a few times and said, "I can see that you've learned a lot at Wuyi College this year. It's very good. I called you here today to say goodbye."
Lu Ke said beside him, "The teacher is going to the central city for implant surgery and will be leaving this afternoon."
Lu Ke said, "I've heard from the Iron Chain Gang that a good implant should help the teacher return to a normal life, and it's not impossible for him to regain his original strength."
Yu Gang said, "Well, the Iron Chain Gang was quite kind this time. They gave me a lot of compensation for my injuries and retirement. It's just that I don't have the conditions in Yangzhi City, so I plan to go to the Central City next. By the way, this thing is for you."
He took out a booklet and handed it to someone, and Chen Chuan quickly went over to take it.
"I know Lu Ke taught you throwing techniques, but that's just the simplest. This booklet contains instructions for using and releasing energy. It shouldn't be difficult for you now. It's not a high-level skill. In today's world, these kinds of things are either useful or useless. Keep this as a souvenir."
Chen Chuan carefully accepted it and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yu." He then added, "Teacher Yu, if there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."
Yu Gang said, “No need.”
Lu Ke said, "Teacher, you have a former student who lives in the downtown area of Central City. We've already called her, and she said she was able to contact the implant doctor, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Mr. Yu, what time do you leave? I'll see you off."
