Chapter 710: Xiao Ji, hit him with a brick

"Lang Ge, is that for real?"

Ji Xiang asked a question that seemed to come out of nowhere.

After all, Lao Wangtou was not dead yet, which was medically impossible.

If he were in a hospital, supported by countless instruments, he might have survived until now, but he would only have vital signs; one couldn't say for sure he was still alive, at most it would be survival in the medical sense.

But Lao Wangtou was at home... and could still go out for a stroll, even if he was pushed out in a wheelchair by his grandson, which made Ji Xiang feel a trace of absurdity.

He could not accept things that science could not explain.

"That's what the old patient said, I'm not sure." Shen Lang suddenly looked up at Ji Xiang, "Xiao Ji, don't wait until we get off work, let's go early."

"Huh?" Ji Xiang felt a bit reluctant.

After all, opportunities to be guided hand-in-hand through surgery by Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen were rare.

But Shen Lang's tone was full of determination, brooking no doubt, and plus, Ji Xiang himself was curious.

Could Lao Wangtou really suck away people's lifespan?

No, no, no, absolutely impossible! Ji Xiang immediately chased this bizarre thought away.

There were many similar movies, for example, things like Get Out, which Ji Xiang had also seen.

But he didn't believe he would encounter such things in real life.

Even if Lao Wangtou was possessed by something, he reckoned a socialist heavenly thunder would have descended from the sky long ago to blast it into dust.

Since the founding of the nation, monsters are not allowed to become spirits.

"Are you going or not?" Seeing Ji Xiang not speaking, Shen Lang pressed him.

"Going!" Ji Xiang made up his mind.

"What are you two chatting about?"

A familiar voice came over.

It was Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen!

"Cong Wen, Lao Tian told me that Lao Wangtou is still alive!"

Just as Ji Xiang was about to say they weren't chatting about anything, Shen Lang told Zhou Congwen very candidly.

This person, he really lived his life in such a clean and clear way, so transparent, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

Shen Lang was just like an innocent child; he said whatever was on his mind and didn't hide anything from Zhou Congwen.

"Still alive? That's impossible." Zhou Jiaoshou was also taken aback, he looked Shen Lang up and down twice, "Are you planning to borrow my binoculars?"

"Slap~"

Shen Lang slapped his thigh.

"Cong Wen, you really do understand me, as soon as I stick my butt out you know..."

"Get lost!" Zhou Jiaoshou scolded.

"..." Ji Xiang was speechless, countless words surfaced in his mind, for example, 'colluding like villains', for example, 'birds of a feather', for example...

"Did you find the location?" Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen not only didn't stop them, but instead started chatting about the details with Shen Lang.

Regarding this, Ji Xiang fell into complete confusion.

So Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen was also this unreliable.

Zhou Jiaoshou took out his phone, found the Beidou Map, and started searching for the building where Lao Wangtou lived as if he were conducting a military operation, then analyzed the surrounding terrain with Shen Lang.

Ji Xiang watched them fooling around in silence, feeling helpless.

This guy, if you didn't experience it yourself, you wouldn't know Zhou Jiaoshou was also this unreliable; it truly overturned his worldview.

In Ji Xiang's perception, Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen was the very serious type, and every time he encountered him in Empathy, he would have a feeling of being saved.

But this time, having spent a longer time together, Ji Xiang finally discovered that this thick-browed, big-eyed guy actually had an unreliable side.

Shen Lang was not surprised at all; he discussed with Zhou Congwen in all seriousness where they could see clearly.

Afterwards, Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen made a few phone calls and contacted a Family Member who was in the residential complex's property management.

Unbelievable!

They could actually do this!

Ji Xiang was already stunned.

He never expected Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen to be fooling around to such an extent.

"You must be careful, no matter what you see, stay at least one hundred meters away from Lao Wangtou." Zhou Jiaoshou Congwen finally exhorted.

He didn't look at Ji Xiang, but looked at Shen Lang earnestly.

"Got it, don't worry, Cong Wen." Shen Lang waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Xiao Ji, I have a task for you." Zhou Congwen turned his head to look at Ji Xiang, "Did you hear what I just said?"

"I heard it." Ji Xiang suddenly felt this unreliable gossip had suddenly been elevated.

"One hundred meters. You keep an eye on Shen Lang; if Lao Wangtou and his grandson come over, you two run for your lives."

"..."

Ji Xiang really couldn't understand why Zhou Jiaoshou could say such unreliable things with a straight face.

"Furthermore, you find a brick in advance. If Shen Lang wants to rush up, hit him on the head with it. If he dies or gets crippled, it's on me."

"..."

"Cong Wen, don't be so ruthless." Shen Lang said miserably.

So Shen Lang really did want to rush up! Ji Xiang discovered that his understanding of Shen Lang was truly not as deep as Zhou Congwen's.

"Did you remember, Xiao Ji?"

"Remembered!" Ji Xiang clenched his fists, stood at attention, and replied with a straight face.

Shen Lang let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat regretful.

"Go on, stay safe," Zhou Congwen said, then added, "If you get cornered on the rooftop, don't run around, call me immediately!"

"Calling you is about as useful as a fart," Shen Lang muttered.

"I'll blast them to death with socialist heavenly lightning," Zhou Congwen said, laughing heartily as he turned and left.

Shen Lang trotted along behind Zhou Congwen to retrieve the telescope.

Once prepared, at three in the afternoon, the two arrived at the residential complex where Lao Wangtou lived.

This was an old residential complex, appearing to be over 40 years old.

The property management staff was exceptionally polite upon meeting them, shaking hands with Shen Lang and offering constant words of gratitude, his eyes not even glancing toward the telescope.

Shen Lang didn't offer an explanation either, following the property staff, unlocking the door, and heading up to the rooftop.

The wind was a bit cold; Shen Lang and Ji Xiang found a spot with a good view and began setting up the telescope.

"Don't go looking at things you shouldn't," Shen Lang said.

"Haha, Lang Ge, are you giving yourself advice?" Ji Xiang had also unknowingly started to become unreliable.

However, at this very moment, Shen Lang was quite serious, looking at the brick Ji Xiang was carrying, "Xiao Ji, don't listen to Cong Wen's nonsense, in a moment..."

"I'll smash your knees, it won't make you an Undying Person, don't worry," Ji Xiang said firmly, "I only listen to half of what the Director says."

Shen Lang sighed deeply once again.

"Lang Ge, if Lao Wangtou is truly alive, are you really planning to go see him?"

"Damn it! Aren't you curious?!"

Shen Lang asked back in surprise.

"What if he really can drain people's lifespan?" Ji Xiang asked, "Wouldn't that be walking right into his trap? Lao Wangtou is already decrepit; I don't believe he could have lived until now."

"Didn't Cong Wen say, socialist heavenly lightning infusion, it won't strike him dead."

"..." Ji Xiang curled his lip.

After setting up the telescope, the two didn't look through it immediately, but instead set it aside and began to chat.

At five o'clock, quitting time arrived, and people in the complex came and went in an endless stream.

The door to Lao Wangtou's unit opened; Shen Lang patted the back of Ji Xiang's hand, and Ji Xiang set up the telescope and moved Shen Lang's hand away from the brick.

"You brat are really something else, all you know is how to suck up to the Director," Shen Lang cursed.

"I'm just worried you'll turn into a zombie and chase me down to gnaw on me."
