Cheng Hu quickly bandaged Linghu Ke's wound.

Fortunately, no bones or tendons were injured; only the muscles were cut.

After the wound was bandaged, the four of them sat down to eat.

At the dinner table, before Xiao Wang could ask any more questions, Linghu Ke spoke up, saying, "I was delivering goods for someone when I encountered a robbery on the way and we fought back."

"Out of the city?" Xiao Wang continued to ask.

"Okay, send it to Jinheng Town."

Although there is no clearly defined outer wall around the outer city of Yuanshan, there is a basic boundary. As the frontline city of the Federation, the core area of ​​Yuanshan is the inner city, where all important things are concentrated.

Federal agencies, federal troops, federal enterprises, and factories are all located underground in the interior.

However, there are several small towns near Yuanshan City that Xiao Wang has heard of but has never been to. For the past eighteen years, his activities have only been confined to the outer city.

Xiao Wang listened, then looked at Linghu Ke and asked, "Delivery? Do you pay a lot?"

He is currently in dire financial straits and is worried about how to raise money. The cost of drug trials is not enough to cover the martial arts school's expenses for the next few months, and the tuition fees for Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy are still nowhere to be found.

"Junior brother, why are you asking this? You're not short of money."

Xiao Wang: ? ? ?

"Who says I don't need money? I do, I really do, I'm extremely short of money, okay?"

Xiao Wang looked at the three of them very seriously. "You haven't been treating me like a rich person these past few days, have you?"

"How could that be?"

"Of course not."

"Um."

Wei Zhongxing, Linghu Ke, and Cheng Hu gave three different answers, two different responses.

However, Xiao Wang was quite clear about whose answer was the most reliable.

Xiao Wang listened, then looked at Wei Zhongxing, "Master, did you ever regret charging too little tuition?"

"You are being petty. How could I, a teacher, do such a despicable thing?"

"Yes, I used to be a teacher," Xiao Wang replied, putting a piece of pork into his mouth.

"That also proves that I have high moral standards, so why would I charge you a high tuition fee?"

"Junior brother, are you really short of money?" Linghu Ke continued to ask.

"Yes, I haven't even secured the tuition for Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy yet."

"Oh." Linghu Ke nodded and explained, "Our delivery service depends on what kind of goods are being delivered and where they are being delivered. Sometimes it's one or two thousand Federal Credits, sometimes three or four thousand, sometimes four or five thousand, and sometimes even tens of thousands."

"Tens of thousands?" Xiao Wang looked surprised; the price was much higher than he had expected.

"Yes, there are indeed tens of thousands of orders, but those are basically not delivered by us; they're all delivered by the people who bring this," Linghu Ke said, making a gun gesture.

"A gun? A private one, or from the police?" Xiao Wang asked, of course he didn't think that people from the police wouldn't do such a thing.

Money makes the world go round, especially in a border city like this.

"Yes, we have them all."

Xiao Wang listened without surprise and continued, "So, on the day I reported for duty, you and Master were also out delivering goods?"

Linghu Ke nodded. "Yes, when Master was still a teacher at Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy, he knew some people who trusted him and would occasionally ask us to deliver goods."

"Who were those people who injured you?" Xiao Wang continued to ask.

"Who can say for sure? They could be from the outer city, or from nearby towns, or even rebels. Life is tough in the outer city; they have to find a way to survive."

As Xiao Wang listened, he thought of the forty-year-old man who was testing the medicine. He wondered if the man had some martial arts skills, he might go out of the city to rob people and find a way to survive for himself and his daughter.

Xiao Wang ate his meal, remained silent for a while, and then asked:

"Master and senior brother, if there are any similar tasks in the future and someone is needed, just call me."

He also had to find a way to make a living.

Linghu Ke glanced at Wei Zhongxing but didn't say anything; he couldn't make the decision.

As Wei Zhongxing ate, perhaps because he hadn't had much oily food in a long time, he kept piling pork into his mouth. "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you use your labor power? Are you out of your mind?"

"Disciple understands."

"Thank you, Master."

This is helping the martial arts school, and it's also helping myself, Xiao Wang thought.

The group ate and chatted, and Cheng Hu even told Linghu Ke about his battle with Xiao Wang.

Upon hearing this, Linghu Ke looked at Xiao Wang with a surprised expression. "Junior brother, is what he said true? You almost beat him?"

"Don't listen to your senior brother's nonsense. I lost 500 Federal Credits to him, and that's the money I used to buy this pork."

Linghu Ke knew that Xiao Wang was probably being modest, because he knew that Cheng Hu was unlikely to be lying.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Wang practiced the details of the Tiger Warrior Fist fighting techniques several times in the courtyard before going to bed.

As I was falling asleep, I suddenly heard someone say, "Master, this is what I need to get married."

Xiao Wang turned his head and saw that it was Cheng Hu talking in his sleep.

"It seems he has a big problem with his master using his private savings to buy pork."

……

……

the next day.

Xiao Wang arrived at school early in the morning. As he walked through the school gate, he was about to head to An Han's classroom to exchange information with her when he discovered that An Han was already waiting for him.

The two found a secluded corner.

"Any progress?" An Han asked.

Xiao Wang shook his head. "No, what about you?"

"No, not at all," An Han replied, shaking her head.

"My martial arts have improved recently, which is an unexpected bonus. It will increase my chances of winning when the time comes."

"Congratulations."

After saying that, Xiao Wang couldn't find anything else to say, and An Han remained silent as well.

"Shall we call it a day?"

"it is good."

After saying that, the two walked towards their respective classrooms.

After Xiao Wang had taken a few steps, An Han suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Xiao Wang?"

Xiao Wang turned around, looked at An Han, and asked, "Hmm?"

"If I do something bad, will you be very disappointed in me?"

Xiao Wang looked at An Han, turned around, walked to her side, and asked, "I wanted to ask you the last two times, what happened to you?"

An Han paused for a moment, then shook her head. "It's okay, go to class."

After An Han finished speaking, she left on her own.

Xiao Wang watched her retreating figure, hesitant to speak. He knew that if she didn't say anything, asking would be pointless, but he was certain that something had happened to her.

……

……

The morning's academic classes ended quickly.

After having lunch at the school cafeteria, Xiao Wang still didn't go to the school's martial arts training hall for training, nor did he return to the Zhongxing Martial Arts Hall.

Instead, they left the school and continued along the southern edge of the outer city.

About forty minutes later, he stopped at a food stall on a street and ordered a snack.

After sitting down, his gaze fell on the area diagonally opposite the food stall. It was a six-story building with a huge footprint. Outside the building was a large courtyard, and there were some sheds scattered in the courtyard for unknown purposes. The building looked a bit old, but the six large characters on its entrance were very eye-catching—Yuanshan City Police Bureau.

From a distance, you can see six armed men on guard at the entrance. Two of them are standing upright, while the other four are patrolling back and forth.

Jeeps with camouflage patterns frequently enter and exit the gate, and all of them are subject to strict inspection.

Xiao Wang observed while eating.

"It will be quite difficult to find out about Hu Guangzhong without being noticed," Xiao Wang thought to himself.

Just then, several officers dressed in police uniforms walked toward the food stall.
