Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1506: Chapter 1505: Investigation

At the break of dawn, on the outskirts of Nanluo City, two old fellows trudged along the country path, covered in dust from their journey.

As the light gradually became brighter, the figures of these two old men finally became clear—it was none other than Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi.

”Hey, are you sure your calculations are right?” Wu Daozi, clearly exhausted, asked while sitting on a stone.

”Nonsense, have I ever miscalculated anything in my life?” Yuan Tiangang glared.

”Would it kill you to stop bragging?” Wu Daozi retorted, glaring back. ”You should say, have you ever calculated anything correctly?”

Yuan Tiangang looked awkward and chuckled, ”It’s not like that, I’m usually just having fun with life, so I don’t really focus on my calculations. But this kid’s matter, I’ve definitely put my all into it, there’s absolutely no problem!”

”Yeah, right!” Wu Daozi said disdainfully. ”You say you’ve put your all into it, but we’ve been running around here half a day and found nothing?”

”These kinds of things depend on fate!” Yuan Tiangang waved his hand dismissively. ”Alright, stop with the nonsense, let’s hurry up and investigate. If Qinghe Academy can’t hold on, and this kid dies, we’ll be infamous throughout history!”

Not daring to delay, Wu Daozi immediately stood up to follow Yuan Tiangang into the city.

After entering the city, the two of them first went to the village where Su Yang had previously lived.

Even though it was early morning, it was too early, and most people were still asleep. They wandered around the village and didn’t encounter a single person.

The two were quite helpless, and only when the sky brightened did an old man come out carrying a hoe.

Seeing the old man, Yuan Tiangang’s eyes lit up, and he quickly approached, smiling, ”Hello, uncle!”

The old man glanced at Yuan Tiangang and immediately snorted, ”Who are you calling uncle? You look older than me, and you’re calling me uncle, have you no shame?”

Yuan Tiangang was immediately embarrassed, ”No, uncle, I... I just look old, but I’m actually very young...”

”Are you trying to fool ghosts with those lies? Look old, just how old do you look?” The old man, dissatisfied with Yuan Tiangang, turned around with his hoe and was about to leave.

Wu Daozi quickly came over, smiling, ”Hey, brother, don’t be mad, this guy’s just like that, don’t take him seriously. Here, have a cigarette!”

Giving away a cigarette, the old man’s expression finally improved a little.

”Brother, we’re asking about someone!” Wu Daozi said, ”Is there someone named Su Ping in this village?”

The old man looked at Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang with surprise, ”Do you know Su Ping?”

”Yes, old friends!” Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

The old man immediately put down his cigarette and left with his hoe.

”Hey, brother, don’t go! Don’t go!” Wu Daozi called a few times from behind, but the old man ignored him and just walked away.

The two of them stood there, perplexed, not knowing what was going on.

However, before they could find anyone else to ask, a few cars suddenly drove up.

A few people jumped out of the car, the leader being none other than Fatty. As soon as he got out, he rushed towards Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang, shouting angrily, ”You bastards, Uncle Su is gone, what more do you want? Do you want to push people to the brink? I’ll fight you!”

The few people behind him shouted as they charged, and among them, Fatty was the strongest.

Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang dodged in panic, Wu Daozi anxiously said, ”Hey, hey, what are you doing? Is there some misunderstanding? We’re good people!”

”Good, my ass!” Fatty pointed at Wu Daozi and yelled angrily, ”You two bastards, with your sneaky looks, and still have the face to say you’re good people? Damn it, if you two are good people, then there are no good people left in the world!”

”Hey, you can insult us, but can you keep it above board?” Yuan Tiangang was anxious, ”Who’s got sneaky eyes?”

”I’m talking about you two bastards!” Fatty yelled more angrily and lunged again, shouting, ”I’ll fight you!”

Another commotion ensued, and although Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi didn’t fight back, they were pretty good at running away. After a while, Fatty and his gang were exhausted and out of breath without having touched a hair on Yuan Tiangang or Wu Daozi.

”Enough already!” Yuan Tiangang said indignantly, ”What on earth do you want? What did we do to provoke you that you come here attacking people?”

”Don’t play dumb!” Fatty roared, ”Are you trying to mess with Su Yang’s family? I’m telling you, I’m Su Yang’s brother. His affairs are my affairs. Don’t mess with his family, if you’ve got guts, come at me!”

Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi exchanged a glance and both laughed. They couldn’t find anyone to ask about Su Yang, and Fatty just jumped out himself.

”Laugh, my ass!” Fatty shouted angrily, ”I’m telling you, I may not be strong, but I’m not afraid to die. Damn it, today, even if I lay down my life, I won’t let you bully my brother’s family!”

Yuan Tiangang chuckled, ”Hey, Fatty, you’ve got it wrong, we’re not here to cause trouble for Su Yang’s family, we’re here to help him!”

”Help him?” Fatty was taken aback, then angrily said, ”Damn it, still trying to deceive me? You really take me for a fool?”

”We really are here to help him!” Wu Daozi stepped forward, ”The two of us are his teachers, Su Yang is currently at Qinghe Academy and will be executed at noon today. We have to find a way to save him!”

Fatty’s face changed dramatically, ”You... what did you say? What... will be executed at noon!”

”A lot of people are at Qinghe Academy, just waiting to see him executed!” Yuan Tiangang said, ”I don’t have time to explain everything to you, we’re here to find a way to rescue him. Fatty, didn’t you say you’re Su Yang’s brother? We’ve got some questions to ask you.”

Fatty looked at the two of them half-doubtfully; he still couldn’t fully trust them.

”Damn!” Seeing Fatty’s expression, Yuan Tiangang said displeasedly, ”Can you not look at us like that, making us seem like bad guys. We’re really here to help!”

”How do you prove it?” Fatty countered.

Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing how to answer.

At this moment, a person walked out from behind and said in a deep voice, ”I trust them!”

Everyone looked up, and standing behind was none other than Lian Wanxiong!

”You... you...” Fatty’s eyes widened. He had seen Lian Wanxiong before and naturally knew that this person had a good relationship with Su Yang. His endorsement meant that these two were genuinely trustworthy!
