Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent
Chapter 21: Do you need me to keep you company tonight?
The next morning, Qin Fengying got up early as usual and prepared breakfast.
Xiao Wang and Zhou Zhengxiong sat down at the dining table. Before Zhou Zhengxiong could even give the order, Zhou Xuanyu took the initiative to turn on the radio.
The family ate breakfast and started chatting.
"Are you coming back to stay today?" Qin Fengying asked Xiao Wang while eating.
"Probably not. The assessment is coming up soon, so I need to focus on training."
"Don't overwork yourself, your health is the most important thing, you know?"
"I know, don't worry, Auntie, I can take good care of myself."
Zhou Zhengxiong chimed in, "Just do your best in martial arts. If you really can't get into a vocational school, that's a good option. I can give you some pointers then."
Xiao Wang knew that Zhou Zhengxiong was worried that he was under too much pressure and was reminding him that he still had a way out.
But what Zhou Zhengxiong didn't know was that he didn't. After all, if he didn't get into the Martial Arts Academy, he wouldn't be able to enter the inner city. Once he entered the inner city, he didn't know what Baiyang would do to him.
The family ate and chatted while the news came on the radio.
"The federal government is intensifying its crackdown on the rebels and has recently thwarted several rebel espionage operations in the capital region."
"The price increases that had lasted for several days have been effectively brought under control in recent days thanks to the efforts of the federal government."
"Bullshit." Qin Fengying blurted out a curse after hearing the broadcast. As someone who buys groceries, cooks, and takes care of Zhou Xuanyu every day, she is most aware of the changes in prices. "Recently, prices have risen by at least 20%, and they're saying they're effectively controlling it? Controlling it my foot!"
"Watch your tone, the children are here," Zhou Zhengxiong reminded him.
"Bullshit, hahahaha." Zhou Xuanyu immediately imitated.
"Hahahaha..." The whole family couldn't help but laugh when they heard Zhou Xuanyu's words.
The radio broadcast continued.
"Early this morning, a murder occurred in a residential building on Baifeng Road in the outer city. A family of three, the husband and wife, died. The preliminary diagnosis is food poisoning. They left behind a daughter who is about to come of age. It is said that the couple adopted her eight years ago..."
"Poor child..."
Qin Fengying listened and casually said something, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Xiao Wangteng suddenly stand up.
When Xiao Wang heard the announcement about Baifeng Road, he started paying attention to the broadcast. When he heard "daughter who is about to come of age" and "adopted eight years ago," he was basically certain that it was referring to An Han.
Xiao Wang picked up his schoolbag and quickly walked towards the door.
"Auntie, Uncle, I'm leaving now. I'll be staying at the martial arts gym tonight."
Before Zhou Zhengxiong and his wife could react to what was happening, Xiao Wang had already disappeared from their sight.
Xiao Wang rushed downstairs and ran straight towards Baifeng Road.
Along the way, Xiao Wang finally understood why An Han had always seemed hesitant and reluctant to speak during their previous meetings.
I especially remembered what she said yesterday: "If I do something bad, will you be very disappointed in me?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Wang paused in his steps.
"What do you mean?"
"Did she know this would happen?"
"Could this be her...?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Wang dared not continue to think. Although murder cases occurred frequently in the outer city, unless there was a major riot with a huge impact, they were almost always hastily closed without any investigation.
If it were someone else, that would be one thing, but these were her adoptive parents who died.
Xiao Wang quickened his pace and ran towards Baifeng Road.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at An Han's building.
A large crowd had already gathered downstairs, and police officers were maintaining order at the scene.
Xiao Wang approached, preparing to go upstairs to find An Han, but suddenly discovered that An Han was sitting on the steps downstairs.
"An Han," Xiao Wang called out, walking closer.
"You know each other?" a police officer asked, stopping him.
"She and I were classmates."
After listening, the police officers let Xiao Wang go to An Han's side.
Xiao Wang squatted down opposite An Han and looked at her face.
Her face was expressionless and calm, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Wang paused for a moment, then guessed that his guess was probably correct.
But he still didn't say anything, he just quietly sat down next to An Han.
He didn't know what to say.
Ask her if she's alright?
Or should we ask her what happened?
Obviously, none of them are suitable.
All he can do is stay with her, just like he has for the past eight years. At some point, she might tell him, or she might never.
After sitting for a while, the crowd gradually dispersed.
An Han stood up, picked up her schoolbag, and said in a relaxed tone, "Let's go to school, we'll be late."
Xiao Wang: ? ? ?
"Is everything alright here?" Xiao Wang asked.
An Han's composure shocked him, and her ease made him a little uneasy.
"What could have happened? The police have already questioned me, and they've investigated and are about to leave. I paid someone to take care of my adoptive parents' bodies. Let's go, we're really going to be late."
After An Han finished speaking, she walked forward alone. Xiao Wang saw that she even jumped lightly and kicked a pebble away.
Then, as expected, Xiao Wang saw that several police officers also quickly left the scene.
Xiao Wang was stunned for two seconds, but could only follow An Han's footsteps.
On the road.
An Han still speaks very little.
Xiao Wang wanted to say something, but he didn't want to ask about what had just happened, so he changed the subject and said, "I've found out some information about Hu Guangzhong."
An Han turned to look at Xiao Wang as she walked, asking, "What news?"
"I found out his license plate number, and I also found out that he is very good at shooting and fighting. If the two of us want to take him down, I'm afraid we won't have much of a chance of winning if we just go head-to-head with him."
"We'll always find a way. What's his license plate number?"
"Yuan A4834".
"Okay, I've got it."
After they finished speaking, they walked silently toward the school.
Just as they were about to reach the school, An Han suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Xiao Wang. "Did you already guess?"
Xiao Wang nodded.
Are you disappointed in me?
Xiao Wang didn't know how to answer, so he asked in return, "Can you tell me why?"
An Han paused for a moment, then said, "They want to do things to me that they shouldn't."
After a pause, she added, "I originally wanted to wait, but aren't we supposed to kill Hu Guangzhong within a month? I thought about it, and killing Hu Guangzhong might put us all in danger. If I die, they can still live well and even adopt another girl, so I have no choice but to send them on their way ahead of time."
An Han spoke calmly, without any discernible fluctuation in her voice.
Xiao Wang remained silent, unsure how to respond. But as they parted ways at the school gate, he looked at An Han and asked, "Do you need me to stay with you tonight?"
An Han looked at Xiao Wang, finally smiled, and said, "No need, I'm fine, don't worry."
After a moment, she looked at Xiao Wang again and said earnestly, "Thank you!"
After saying that, he whistled and headed towards his classroom.
