Chapter 405: The Situation Initially Settled

After turning out of the alley, I directly hailed a taxi on the street.

At this moment, I dared not return to the villa's banquet hall; instead, I told the driver the place where I first met Chen Zheng, namely that ordinary two-story building, Chen Zheng's home.

When I took the taxi back to Chen Zheng's home, I found the inside and outside of the house full of bodyguards, each with a solemn expression, ready for action.

This situation shows that Chen Zheng and his group have safely left that small mountain and have also safely returned here.

The bodyguards guarding the door also recognized a few of me, so there was hardly any obstruction, and I easily entered the house.

It was then that I discovered a familiar person inside the house!

It was him, Yao Yirong's brother, Yao Wenju. Besides him, there were also several scattered old men in the house, and some middle-aged men about the same age as Chen Zheng; one of them had an injured arm, lowered his head, and stood beside Chen Zheng, not daring to speak.

"You're back, did you find the person who attacked us with a flying sword?" Unlike the solemnity of everyone in the room, Yao Yirong's eyes lit up when she saw me, and she immediately ran over in a small trot.

"Pangzi!" I didn't answer; at this moment I was more worried about Pangzi.

"He and A Chang are in the upstairs room, the doctor just bandaged them, and they are resting now!" Chen Zheng walked over and patted my shoulder: "Go check on them, rest well, I'll handle the following matters!"

I hummed in acknowledgment, nodded at Yao Yirong's brother Yao Wenju as a greeting, then hurriedly ran up to the second floor.

In the small side room on the second floor, I found Pangzi and Fan Wuchang.

"Pangzi..." As I pushed the door and entered, my heart was still hanging, worried about Pangzi. But when I saw him biting a big apple while flipping playing cards and laughing triumphantly at Fan Wuchang: "Haha, you lost, plus the fee for the copper coin sword, you owe me forty-five thousand eight hundred eighty-eight, this time I won't give you a discount."

This money-grubbing look made me change my mind; the concerned words on my lips turned into: "Damn it, why haven't you gone to see Master Huaguang yet?"

"Do you greet your brothers like that? Uncultured, embarrassing." Pangzi rolled his eyes, gave me a look of contempt, then turned back and continued playing stud poker with Fan Wuchang.

"Stop fooling around, Hai Sheng, have you found the sorcerer who wanted to harm us?" Unlike Pangzi's laughter, Fan Wuchang was still tense about the overall situation.

I nodded: "I found him, but we only fought once with magic; that sorcerer is already dead. So I couldn't get any useful information from him, only found these things in his pocket."

While speaking, I took out the scripture I had searched from that old man's body.

Pangzi took a look and exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this the scripture of the Red Lotus Sect? There's also some folk witchcraft! Hiss... and sword control technique."

When Pangzi first saw the ancient book on sword control, his expression was the same as mine when I first saw it—eyes lit up, he eagerly opened the scripture. However, half a minute later, Pangzi's reaction was the same as mine after reading it—he laughed and cried, then threw it aside.

"This technique, is it something humans cultivate? It takes a hell of a lot of luck to refine a flying sword!" Pangzi laughed and cried as he threw the scripture to one side.

At this moment, Fan Wuchang took out a pack of cigarettes from under the pillow, lit one, and after the smoke drifted out, he slowly said: "Since he's dead, let's not bother with him; the following matters will be handled by us of Dong Ling."

"En, I understand." I nodded, then immediately asked them: "By the way, what about Yuan Qiu, Sister Jingjing, and Chen Mo?"

Pangzi stretched, telling me that Silijing and Yuan Qiu had been sent back to the hotel; they were too tired and needed to rest well. As for Chen Mo, after leaving the small mountain, he immediately returned to the police station.

"What's going on with those people in the hall? And why did Elder Brother Wenju also come?" I asked curiously again.

Fan Wuchang gave me a strange look, then said: "This time we really need to thank the Yao family properly."

"Oh, thank the Yao family, what does that mean!" I looked at him, bewildered.

Fan Wuchang said: "This time, when Zheng Ge was assassinated and Dong Ling underwent changes, Yao Wenju immediately led people over. Although this also involves his sister's factor. But Zheng Ge could so quickly suppress Dong Ling's rebellion and stabilize Macau's situation; the Yao family contributed greatly."

Through Fan Wuchang's explanation, I finally realized that in the short few hours since I left, so many things had actually happened.

After Chen Zheng returned, he summoned some people to take care of everyone, then immediately set off for Tian Zi Tou to help Tian Zi Tou deal with the rebel Di Zi Tou hall master. However, the Di Zi Tou forces were numerous, and they had also gained support from some uncles and other forces; suppressing them in a short time was not easy, so Chen Zheng couldn't think of a useful method for a while. The situation in Macau's underworld once fell into a chaotic stalemate.

At this moment, Yao Wenju led the Yao family troops to arrive just in time; although he came because he received news of his sister's assassination. When he learned that Yao Yirong had almost fallen to the poisonous hands of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Yao Wenju angrily smashed a table. Afterwards, the enraged Yao Wenju without hesitation used all resources of the Yao family to help Chen Zheng suppress the forces allied with the Fierce Tiger Gang's Ren Zi Tou, then pointed his sword directly at the Fierce Tiger Gang; within a few hours, Dong Ling and the Yao family joined forces, encircling and annihilating the remnants of the Fierce Tiger Gang, thus stabilizing the turbulent situation.

After that, the scene I saw upon entering appeared: Chen Zheng, who had suppressed the rebellion, recalled some uncles of Dong Ling, discussing countermeasures after stabilizing the situation, and also discussing how to punish those disciples who had rebelled in this incident. Although the situation had stabilized, they still had many things to do.

However, these are their affairs. Pangzi and I are not people of the underworld, nor do we want to get involved in this muddy water. As long as the feng shui array is completed and the feng shui of Chen Zheng's residence improves, our task will be considered complete.

"By the way, Hai Sheng, tell me the truth!" Pangzi suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at me solemnly: "Speak honestly, are you bent?"

"Eh... what does 'bent' mean!" I was a bit puzzled.

"His meaning is asking whether you've changed from liking women to liking men, i. e., the so-called 'playing with the base'!" Fan Wuchang said while smoking, lightly.

"Damn... you've got a problem! Suddenly asking me such a strange question." I flared up, grabbed Pangzi's collar with one hand.

After fighting desperately in a big battle and coming back, I got this inhuman hat put on me.

"Let go, let go, I'm saying this with basis!" Pangzi sold a mystery, speaking slowly, waiting for me and Fan Wuchang to look at him doubtfully, then he coughed twice, stared at me and said: "Do you still remember, when that flying sword was about to pierce you, the iron-backed thorn worm suddenly flew in front of you and blocked that flying sword for you?"

I nodded, but still didn't understand.

At this moment, Pangzi lowered his voice: "You guys think, does the iron-backed thorn worm have someone controlling it behind the scenes; otherwise, how could this worm be so spiritual?"

I and Fan Wuchang nodded in unison; this makes sense, but... what does this have to do with being bent?

"That's right!" Pangzi suddenly slapped his thigh, shouting loudly: "You guys think again, how could he save you for no reason? You have an affair, everyone can see it."

After saying that, Pangzi again put his hand on my shoulder, solemnly asking me: "Hai Sheng, tell me, have you fallen for a man, have you fallen for a man who likes to tinker with worms."

I... damn, I can only say, I really admire his sky-high imagination. If Pangzi was born in Japan and joined the police academy, that would be great. With this IQ, he would definitely solve cases quickly, and along the way... pit many people.

This is simply a blessing for the country, a fortune for China.

"Eh... wrong, even if the person who tinkers with worms and I have an affair, why must he definitely be a man? Why not allow the worm-controller to be a lovely beautiful girl?"

"Definitely not a woman," Pangzi firmly nodded.

"Why?"

"Because the worm that saved you is male." Pangzi raised his head to the sky, very pleased.

Worms can tell male from female, how the hell did you figure that out.

I secretly wondered in my heart. At this moment, Pangzi suddenly lowered his head and sighed, his tone full of desolation and heartache.

"Hai Sheng, you finally admitted it, you finally admitted you have an affair! Originally, you really are bent." Pangzi covered his heart with both hands, feeling indescribable pain.

Just as I was full of black lines, wanting to kick him, Pangzi secretly wiped a tear, first gave me a look saying "We are brothers, I understand you," then said to me: "Hai Sheng, rest assured, I understand you; marriage is for passing on the lineage, playing with the base is true love; no matter what you do, as a brother I will silently cheer for you."

I... if you weren't injured, I really wanted to kick you hard into the Atlantic Ocean.
