Chapter 4

After finishing, he deliberately cast a disdainful glance at the astonished old man from the corner of his eye. Without getting off the vehicle, he exerted force with both hands to turn his bike around, seemingly ignoring the people blocking his way, and rode off on his bicycle, exuding an air of arrogance

The old man glanced at Shen Lang, then, ignoring those around him, reached into the bag in Ye Wei's bicycle basket. Suddenly, it seemed he had discovered something; he took out a box of cigarettes that Shen Lang had sold to the old man, opened it, and selected one. At that moment, Shen Lang appeared to react, leaning forward to look into the basket, then took out the entire bag and angrily threw it on the ground, seemingly deliberately tossing it at the old man's feet.

Fan Jun moved his nose slightly, his expression somewhat bitter. "Sigh, I am indeed stronger than before, though I can't quite explain it. When I ask her, she always says I am too young to understand. Recently, people from my hometown sent over some secret recipes, one of which involves drying toad skin and then frying it with eggs. I took a couple of bites, and it was incredibly bitter; I have never tasted anything so bitter before. I truly cannot fathom how my mother managed to eat it! I have immense admiration for her, but that hetushu.com is just too torturous to look at."

"Hehe, you all stay busy. If there are any issues, call me immediately," the old man said, turning his head slightly to the girl and adding, "Zhu Feng, come with me to take a look." After speaking, the old man returned to his car. Zhu Feng glanced around, then took a step forward to pick up the items on the ground, placing them inside the car before taking her seat in the driver's position. She casually put on her headphones, listening attentively to her teammates' reports.

Originally, Shen Lang intended to return home; the mention of buying some items was merely an excuse. Looking at the stars every day, he felt they had dimmed somewhat. In such times, it was better to go home and be honest about it, avoiding any other troubles. As he passed by the supermarket, Shen Lang paused for a moment, locked his car, and bought some oats, milk, and a few oranges. When he reached the counter, after some contemplation, he decided to buy two packs of cigarettes for his father, after all, he was his own father.

As Fan Jun was about to leave, Shen Lang thought for a moment and said, "It can be a bit boring to stay idle; it would be nice to take a stroll outside. Let me walk you back! I also need to buy some things on the way back." When they reached downstairs, Shen Lang suddenly asked, "By the way, has your mother's health improved? I haven't visited her in a long time."

Shen Lang shook his head, "No, I feel a bit stuffy. I will come to see your mother when I have time. I will leave first. You can just come over tomorrow; I won't specifically call for you. However, I might not be around in the morning, as I plan to stroll around the old market area." Seeing Fan Jun nod, Shen Lang turned his car around. The two exchanged greetings, and after walking quite a distance, Shen Lang could still hear Fan Jun shouting loudly behind him, reminding him to ride a bit slower.

Liu Xingfu also furrowed his brows, "Yes, the information I received is not like this. We should conduct a surprise inspection as soon as possible, but this may take some time. Old Master, perhaps you should rest for a while..."

He placed the purchased items in his bicycle basket and rode slowly, feeling a sudden stir in his heart as he passed by his home. He took a shortcut and directly traveled along the road of the second phase. The neighborhood where Ye Wei's family lives belongs to the first phase of the project, which was quite well-received. The second phase, along with the accompanying plans, has also been nearly completed. It is said that sales have been very brisk, but as the final touches have not yet been finished, no one has moved in yet.

The old gentleman no longer holds any position in the security bureau, but in situations like today, it is still necessary to invite him out to maintain order. However, I did not expect to encounter such a little brat; truly, he is quite ignorant and audacious. Nevertheless, this little brat is indeed quite resilient. However, the people around could only think about it; in the end, their attention was still focused on the center of the venue.

As he passed by Phase II, Shen Lang suddenly heard a very intense noise coming from inside, and it was getting closer. He saw someone suddenly fall in front of his car, followed by several people jumping up not far in front of Ye Wei, surrounding Shen Lang in a tight circle. Before long, he heard the sound of vehicles approaching, with several cars driving over, their headlights shining brightly and illuminating the surroundings in a blinding white. A few people got out of each car, varying in height and build, but all dressed similarly in impeccably tailored suits. He couldn't understand why they were wearing so many clothes in the sweltering summer, and he wondered if they would break out in heat rash.

Observing the situation, Shen Lang supported himself on one leg, unsure whether it was due to his nerves or the shock he had received, remaining completely still as he looked around. An elderly man slowly approached Shen Lang, followed by two individuals: a middle-aged man and a young woman. However, their expressions were quite tense, as if they were extremely afraid of the elderly gentleman before them.

The old gentleman looked at the two already dispirited individuals and said, "Xiao Liu, you should take charge of this matter. I am merely here to assist. Given the current situation, it seems a bit off, and I sense some trouble brewing."

Not long after, Zhu Feng called out to the old man beside him, "Grandpa Zhu, he has arrived." Zhu Yong looked up and, through the streetlight, observed that the little fellow seemed to have gone to the supermarket to buy some things again, and it appeared that they were similar to what he had just purchased. After a moment's thought, the old man seemed to be speaking to himself, saying, "Get me his situation and family records; I want to take a look."

Two people arrived at the garage, with Shen Lang pushing his bicycle and pulling Fan Jun behind him. The distance between their homes was less than a ten-minute walk. Fan Jun's house was still an old-style building, and it had only recently replaced the thatched roof with tiles over the past two years. The streetlights had long disappeared in the distance, but fortunately, Shen Lang's bicycle was equipped with a headlight. "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Fan Jun invited as they reached the doorstep.

As it was the same as yesterday, it was not until after 3 PM that Shen Lang returned on his bicycle, parked it in the garage, and brought the items he had purchased back to his home. Without having the time to tidy up, he picked up the basket for grocery shopping and headed straight downstairs

Until Shen Lang left, those around him had not reacted, wondering who this child was, so impressive that he dared to show attitude in front of the renowned Old Master Zhu, known as "Pili Huo". Was he perhaps tired of living? It is important to note that this old gentleman is an extraordinary figure. In his early years, he was not so fierce, but during the Cultural Revolution, there was a reckless rebel who, for reasons unknown, sought to provoke the old gentleman, forcing him to crawl under his legs. At that time, the previously harmonious Zhu Yong suddenly became enraged, and he single-handedly took down over two hundred rebels, leaving not a single one standing. Moreover, the leader's bones were said to have been broken into countless pieces. The old gentleman was arrested but later, for reasons unknown, was released.
