Start with a red name

Chapter 41 See you again

But soon, a discovery shocked Geng Xuan so much that he was completely speechless.

The black luck points became forty-eight points.

But Geng Xuan clearly remembered that when he killed the rapist with his own hands, he had accumulated a total of forty-nine points of bad luck.

And he still hasn't had the ability to call upon his bad luck, which has only been increasing.

But now, something is inexplicably missing.

At the first moment, Geng Xuan's eyes were fixed on Bai Yun, who still had a little bit of luck.

"This extra bit of white luck means a bit less black luck... This can't be a coincidence, right?"

"It can't be that this inexplicable loss of bad luck is just due to this weird mother and son, right?"

"This disaster that should have happened to me alone ended up being shared by everyone in this room."

"..."

Geng Xuan's mind was filled with a mess of thoughts.

At this moment, the outside of the house was becoming increasingly lively and noisy, with all kinds of shouting, bargaining, and discussions of passers-by drifting into the house.

The others didn't sit in the room either, and went out one after another.

Geng Xuan did not stay any longer. He said hello to a few people and left the area.

Just as he reached the exit connecting to the long street, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and blocked Geng Xuan's way.

Geng Xuan paused and subconsciously took two steps back. He looked up and saw that the man was none other than the one who broke into his home with the dog in his arms, and who found him in a small restaurant when he came to the market last time and who claimed to be his "uncle master".

Geng Xuan's mind was turning, and he asked with surprise and some caution on his face: "Why are you here?"

Although this man tried to appear calm and composed, Geng Xuan could still see his inner anxiety.

"I have something to talk to you about." said the man.

When Geng Xuan heard this, the defensive look on his face intensified.

"How did you know I would come out today? Are you arranging someone to monitor me?!"

The man was stunned, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He looked mysterious, as if he tacitly agreed to the accusation.

He looked at Geng Xuan, whose face was becoming increasingly nervous, and said calmly, "We need to talk!"

Geng Xuan nervously looked at the people passing by on the street, "Here... right here?"

"Find a quiet place... Come with me."

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes for Geng Xuan to follow him.

Geng Xuan's face was tense, but his feet seemed to be hammered into place, and he couldn't move an inch.

Seeing him like this, this person's eyes became more and more fierce.

Geng Xuan seemed unable to bear the pressure. He swallowed, looked around, pointed at a teahouse opposite the market, and said through gritted teeth:
"Let's talk here. I won't go anywhere else!"

The man was startled, then smiled and said, "Good boy, you are so defensive against me, why? Are you afraid of being kidnapped or sold by me?"

Without waiting for Geng Xuan's answer, he turned around calmly and strode towards the teahouse that Geng Xuan pointed to.

Geng Xuan looked at the man's back and followed him.

The excuse of arranging people to monitor him was naturally a bait deliberately thrown out by Geng Xuan. If he didn't have the ability to evade underground, who could monitor his whereabouts?

This person's reaction further confirmed Geng Xuan's guess.

This person is very anxious now, even more anxious than the time they met in the small restaurant.

The reason why he was able to block me was not because he really arranged spies to monitor my movements. It was most likely a simpler reason -

He has been guarding here every day during this period.

Just wait! This method may seem stupid, but generally speaking, the effect is not bad.

Generally speaking, every household in the neighborhood would come to the market once every three to five days.

If you can't stand loneliness and boredom and love to watch all kinds of excitement, it is normal to come here once a day or two, or even every day.

For people like Geng Xuan who have no parental supervision and can arrange their time as they please every day, this is especially true for young people who are not too old.

It’s a pity that Geng Xuan is not an “ordinary person”.

More than a month had passed since the last time he went to market, and he had not walked out of the gate of Changpingfang since then.

And because not long after he returned from the last market, a rapist disguised himself and sneaked into Changpingfang, the security level in the square was suddenly raised in order to make up for the loss.

Now, a stranger, let alone entering Changpingfang, would be stared at closely by countless pairs of eyes watching for thieves even if he appeared at the gate of Changpingfang.

Thinking of this situation, Geng Xuan could probably imagine the torment that this "master uncle" had gone through these days.

Thinking of this, Geng Xuan laughed in his heart.

……

Teahouse, second floor.

A private room facing the street.

Geng Xuan pushed open the window. Not only was the long street below clearly visible, but he could also see most of the market opposite.

With his extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see the vendors from Changpingfang, as well as Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, Uncle Liao and others.

The man opposite gently pulled the window that Geng Xuan had opened inward, so that he could only see the street below.

The man stared at Geng Xuan with a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Today, you must give me a clear account of yourself!"

Geng Xuan was at a loss: "What are you going to tell me?"

The man shook his head: "Don't play tricks on me, it's Wu Youren's business!"

Geng Xuan lowered his head, rubbing his fingers on the edge of the teacup in front of him, without saying a word.

The man continued:
"Now, Wu Youren has been missing for almost two months!
The Wu family has turned almost the entire Anleji upside down. If I hadn't tried my best to cover it up for you, would you be able to live as peacefully as you are now?"

“But what about you?

You've been hiding in the neighborhood for more than a month. I've been working hard for you here, but you just give up!

I might as well tell you that even if I wanted to, it would be difficult for me to continue covering it up for you.

The Wu family may rush into Changpingfang at any time and interrogate you about Wu Youren's situation. You are the last one to see him. You can't escape this!"

Geng Xuan raised his head, his face full of panic, but he said unhappily:
"If they want to find someone, they should go find him, why are they looking for me?
Who do you think I am? Anyone can step on me!"

His complaint softened the expression of the man opposite him, and he looked at Geng Xuan with a look of pity like an elder.

"Don't say such things. To the Wu family, you are just a small ant that can be crushed to death with just one step.

Now, if you want to climb out of this vortex, you only have three choices! "

Geng Xuan was shocked and stared at him intently.

"First, don't worry about anything now. Run away immediately so that the Wu family can't find you."

Geng Xuan immediately shook his head: "Impossible, what's the difference between this and asking me to die directly?"

As he spoke, the look in his eyes when he looked at the other person changed slightly, becoming suspicious, unfamiliar, and defensive.

When the man opposite saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he realized that he was being too anxious.

He continued as if nothing had happened:
"Then tell me where Wu Youren is. The Wu family is looking for him, not you. As long as I find a suitable opportunity for them to find Wu Youren's current hiding place, you will naturally have nothing to do with it."

After hearing this suggestion, Geng Xuan said with a strange look on his face:
"Do you think I would know this?"
