Chapter 524 The True Nature of a Common Man
Chen Jing'an felt that he was wronged from the bottom of his heart.
But it was too early to find a suitable place to express this great injustice that came out of nowhere. I pinched my nose and was forced to swallow the mixed-race teeth, which made my heart, liver, spleen and stomach feel uncomfortable. The wounds that have not yet healed are still painful.
However, when Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia looked at each other, they caught sight of a complexity that could not be expressed in words in each other's eyes.
There were three parties involved in this incident. The unlucky groom was indeed beaten by Chen Jing'an, and the bride who ruined Chen Jing'an's innocence successfully escaped from the marriage and disappeared.
Chen Jing'an is now nailed to the pillar of shame by a letter from the bride. On the horizontal side is the ruthless pursuit of the master of Xuantian Pavilion, and on the vertical side is the life-threatening questioning of the groom: Where did you take her?
Until the bride who ruined his innocence was found, it would be useless even if Chen Jing'an had mouths all over his body.
Words are not enough, facts are the proof.
Nothing he said worked, and no one believed him.
Before the truth came to light, Chen Jing'an had to behave like a rat crossing the street with his tail between his legs, and had to be cautious at all times to avoid being killed.
Chen Jing'an covered his face with his hands, filled with bitterness and resentment. "What I'm saying is, it's been so long, and we still haven't found that damned one?"
Xu Yu was a little embarrassed when his rumor was exposed. He was silent for a moment before he said calmly, "No."
"The necessary personnel have been dispatched, and there is still no news."
Xu Yu's reaction was very quick. Based on the clues provided by Chen Jing'an, he found the person very quickly.
But the ungrateful woman had some secret hidden in her. After she successfully escaped from the marriage, she disappeared without a trace from anyone.
Xu Yu searched for two months but still did not get any useful response.
Chen Jing'an gasped in despair: "If I can't find this person, won't I have to hide forever?"
"Am I so miserable?!"
"Well……"
"In theory, that's the case."
Sang Zhixia looked at Chen Jingan, whose face was twisted, with embarrassment, and said helplessly, "Xuantian Pavilion is a jianghu organization. It has never had any connection with the Xu family. We can't reach out there for the time being."
"I'll go back and ask Mr. Qi if there's any other solution for you, but until there's any clue, you'd better hide well."
The killer sent to hunt down Chen Jing'an didn't care whether he was innocent or not.
They came with a big knife just to chop off Chen Jing'an's head.
So for the sake of your own life, it is better to stay away from it for the time being.
Chen Jing'an was completely desperate. Sang Zhixia opened her mouth with a complicated expression, and in the end she only said one sentence: "Take good care of your injuries."
Xu Yu tutted his words, half smiling, and followed Sang Zhixia closely, saying strangely, "Watch your head."
"Also, you owe me a knife, remember."
Chen Jing'an was instantly furious. He stared at Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia with wide eyes as they walked away. He angrily slammed the trees beside the road: "That woman...that..."
"When I find you, I'll make sure you're in trouble!"
Although the hilarious joke that Chen Jing'an made was quite funny, after having enough fun, we still have to do what needs to be done.
Sang Zhixia knew very little about such matters in the martial arts world, so he could only ask Mr. Qi for advice with his questions.
After Meng Pei settled down, he went to visit Mr. Qi first. When Sang Zhixia arrived, the two were playing chess.
Unlike Meng Pei's overly rough appearance, this man is particularly murderous on the chessboard, but he is also very meticulous and careful.
Sang Zhixia sat still, adhering to the gentlemanly style of watching a chess game in silence. Old Qi took Meng Pei's three pieces with a counter-attack, saying jokingly, "He's better than your lousy chess player."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Sang Zhixia tried to smile: "Even if you wanted to praise someone, why would you step on me first?"
"We're in front of others, please give me some face."
Old Qi shook his head, unable to hide his smile. He gestured for Sang Zhixia to make some tea while he said, "What's up? That kid named Chen couldn't hold it anymore and started yelling at you?"
Old Qi was the owner of Qianyuan Villa. As a man of the underworld, he was well versed in underworld affairs. Sang Zhixia was not surprised that he knew about the trouble Chen Jing'an had caused.
Sang Zhixia nodded, unable to put it simply. "This matter is not a decent one, but the people from Xuantian Pavilion are indiscriminate and want to take someone's life. They are too cruel."
"Are you feeling aggrieved that Chen Jing'an nearly lost his life, or are you angry about the knife attack that Xu Yu took?"
Noticing a subtle stiffness in Sang Zhixia's expression, Elder Qi said delicately, "Isn't that heartbreaking?"
"You finally found the right place to strike, and you're already so anxious to vent your anger on that kid?"
Sang Zhixia was not embarrassed by being seen through. She washed and brewed the tea smoothly, raised the clear tea soup in both hands in front of Mr. Qi, and said frankly: "Since you guessed that I was distressed, then I can only come to you for this matter."
"Could you lend me a hand and help me think of a solution?"
Everyone has their own expertise, and if Old Qi were to deal with the harassment from Xuantian Pavilion, the effect would definitely be better than anyone else.
Old Qi took the teacup offered by Sang Zhixia with a smile and teased her, "Do you want revenge, or do you just want to sort out right and wrong?"
Sang Zhixia wanted to pretend to be magnanimous and say that she would not retaliate.
But when he thought about Chen Jing'an's miserable condition and the unprovoked misfortune suffered by Xu Yu, he paused and chose to face his own pettiness honestly.
Sang Zhixia took a sip of another cup of tea and said slowly, "If you repay evil with kindness, how do you repay kindness?"
"I won't go into too much detail, but whoever hurt someone must pay the price. I don't think that's too much to ask. What do you think?"
Old Qi turned the fragrant teacup in his hand and said approvingly, "Yes, that's how it should be."
"Those words about saints are all made up in the books of sages to deceive fools. They should not be taken seriously."
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, that is the nature of ordinary people.
Old Qi tapped the chessboard in a good mood, urging Meng Pei to make his move quickly while casually saying, "No rush."
"Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to mobilize your people to investigate matters in the underworld. Knowing more methods will be beneficial to you."
"Once you learn it, the people you want to catch will naturally come to you and cast their nets."
After the serious business was settled, Sang Zhixia happily sat through two games of chess, but was eventually kicked out by Mr. Qi because his chess skills were so poor.
Meng Pei had been silent all this time, and only after Sang Zhixia left did he whisper, "Mr. Qi, what I just said to you..."
"I'm just an old man with nothing left. I can't get involved in the affairs of you young people."
Elder Qi interrupted Meng Pei's anxiety and said calmly, "Xu Yu is warm on the outside but cold on the inside, and his methods are extremely cunning. He's not a good person at all, but he's likely to give you what you want."
"Meng Pei, if you want to gain, you must first lose. If you want to get on the boat, you must first step on the waves."
"Now that I have decided on a path, I can only bear the consequences with my own life."
Whether you succeed or fail, the road ahead is your own, and you must be willing to pave it with your life, without any regrets, whether living or dead.
A trance flashed across Meng Pei's eyes. Just as he was about to stand up and thank him, Sang Zhixia, who had left, returned. She peeked out the door and said with a smile, "Old Qi, today is the winter solstice. The village chief has arranged for people to make dumplings at the farm. Several people have been invited to come. Shall we go take a look?"
