Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 536, 535 got into trouble.

The words are divided into two parts.

Fang Youliu hurried towards the car dealership.

Thanks to his rich experience and ample knowledge, Fang Youliu, who was well-educated, was actually better able to see the situation than the two country bumpkins, Feng Xiuhu and Shunzi.

Located in the heart of the Xuan Kingdom, Yu'ai Prefecture is a vital passage connecting the north and south. Furthermore, it is bordered by the Blackwater River to the north and the Heavenly Waterfall River to the south. In addition, it is rich in mineral resources. The strategic significance of Yu'ai Prefecture to the countries of the Western Continent is self-evident.

The Women's Association clearly saw through this, which is why these incidents occurred.

The claims that "the people of Yu'ai Prefecture are of fierce character" and "they live up to the integrity of their ancestors" are merely pretexts to stir up trouble.

Fang Youliu was well aware that this was not a matter of regional differences causing acclimatization problems, but rather a fundamental and irreconcilable conflict from the very beginning.

This conflict is destined to escalate until one side is beaten so badly that their bones are broken and their muscles are ripped apart, before a victor can be determined.

Therefore, Fang Youliu had only one thought—to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

What appears to be an orderly industrial city is actually the flashpoint for conflict.

If Fang Youliu had known earlier that Abbott, a man with a special identity, was in Fornes City, he would have definitely gone around him.

With these troubling thoughts in mind, Fang Youliu finally arrived at the car dealership.

Bang bang bang!
He didn't care that it was already late, and went up to bang on the door.

After a long while, a cautious voice came from behind the door: "We're closing. Come early tomorrow."

Fang Youliu knew what the people inside were worried about, so he quickly explained, "I'm not a bandit. I've come to retrieve the carriage—the one I left there this morning, the one that doesn't need fodder, remember?"

The gatekeeper remembered them and hesitated for a moment before asking, "How many people are outside?"

Fang said six times, "It's just me."

The door panel was opened a crack, and the elderly doorman peered through the gap for a long time. After confirming that Fang Youliu was not lying, he quickly removed a door panel and let Fang Youliu in.

Why are you still wandering around outside at this hour?

As the gatekeeper closed the door, he complained to Fang Youliu, "There are bandits in the city, didn't you know? Several groups of police officers have already gone there!"

Fang Youliu, the gatekeeper, bowed and smiled obsequiously: "I know, that's why I'm rushing out of the city to escape this disaster."

As he spoke, Fang Youliu took out a silver plate and stuffed it into the gatekeeper's palm: "Old man, please be kind and take me to get my car quickly, I'll leave right away."

The gatekeeper, who had been hesitant, weighed the money in his hand, swallowed back the words he was about to say, and immediately turned around to lead Fang Youliu into the courtyard.

After signing his name in the register, the gatekeeper took the bolt from the courtyard gate and urged Fang Youliu to leave.

Fang Youliu arrived on the street, found a quiet spot to stop, and waited for Feng Xiuhu and Shunzi.

He huddled in the shadow of the carriage shaft, feigning sleep, but in reality, he was constantly on alert for any sounds around him.

Compared to the previous "bustling" atmosphere in the factory, the city has now quieted down again.

"The bandits have escaped..."

Fang Youliu frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Are the bandits too fast, or are the police too slow?"

Normally, with a large-scale police operation and a city-wide search, there shouldn't have been no firefights. So, it can only mean that the bandits had already left.

He calmed himself down and deduced, "It seems the Copper Whistle Gang is very familiar with the routes in Fornas City. They were able to retreat so quickly in such darkness..."

Just now.

The intense gunfire shattered the tranquility of the night.

"You can't take a compliment," Fang Youliu grinned, looking up in the direction of the voice.

He suddenly paused—that seemed to be the location of the police station.

The bandits actually went to the police station on their own initiative? What's this called? "Catch the king first"? Are you crazy?
But then he realized what was happening and his expression changed drastically—how could they be bandits!
"No way……"

Fang Youliu muttered to himself, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was: to run away immediately.

But his remaining conscience made him hesitate: what if he had misunderstood?
After struggling for a moment, Liu made a difficult decision—not to stand on the main road out of the city any longer.

He urged the carriage into an empty alley, then hid at the alley entrance to observe the main street outside.

If Shunzi comes back, he will definitely pass by here.

……

Which is harder, bones or a mouth?
Shunzi is the most qualified to answer this question tonight.

Without even needing further interrogation, the police officers quickly revealed the whereabouts of the hunting rifle after breaking a few bones.

"In—in Director Yan's office!"

Shunzi was furious: "You just said it was sealed according to the law—how come it's in the director's office again? Which one of you is telling the truth?!"

"Right in the office! Absolutely!"

The police officer, clutching his broken leg, convulsed in pain: "I saw Director Yan bring that gun into his office with my own eyes. He said the gun was so beautiful, like a work of art, and he wanted to keep it as a treasure."

Shunzi doesn't understand art; he only knows that what belongs to someone else belongs to them.

He kicked the police officer aside and strode toward the director's office.

Once Shunzi reached the top of the stairs, the police officers who had been lying on the ground groaning all had an idea. One said, "Quickly call for backup," another shouted, "Fire a warning shot," and a more pragmatic one said, "Let's crawl out and escape quickly. Once that ruthless guy comes down with his gun, he can shoot us one by one!"

To be fair, Shunzi didn't intend to kill anyone, and things are far from reaching a point of no return.

Upon entering the office, Shunzi immediately spotted his beloved gun—in the display cabinet against the wall, various awards and badges were pushed aside, and in the most conspicuous position was a double-barreled shotgun.

The display case was locked, but Shunzi ignored that and kicked the door to pieces, taking out the hunting rifle.

He continued searching for a while and found the confiscated ammunition in the bottom drawer.

Only at this moment did Shunzi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As he always did every morning when he got up, he tucked his shotgun back under his coat and then stuffed the ammunition into the sling one by one.

When they returned to the police station's front hall, the police officers who had been lying on the ground were nowhere to be seen.

Shunzi belatedly realized that he might have gotten into trouble.

Without time to think about anything else, Shunzi hurriedly walked outside—the only way out right now was to quickly reunite with his older brother and Fang Youliu, and then leave the city as soon as possible.

He had barely stepped out of the police station when he heard someone shout, "He's coming out!"

Shunzi felt a chill run down her spine and looked up.

He hadn't been able to see clearly because it was too dark at night, but now that he looked again—a whole squad of police officers was standing across the street, already holding their guns and waiting for him!

Bang bang bang bang!
Flames spat in the darkness, and the instant the gunshot rang out, Shunzi flipped over and darted back to the police station.

The main entrance was definitely blocked. Shunzi thought for a few seconds and then turned around and walked inside.

If I remember correctly, there was a window in the director's office just now.
