Electronic Nezha

Chapter 78 Desperate Enemy
Mr. Liu, who witnessed the entire process, was escorted out by a third-level police superintendent and auxiliary police officers. Before leaving, he received a business card from Officer Zhang Tao…

"Can I come to you again if I encounter danger next time?" I was afraid that this misunderstanding would put me on their blacklist, just like Zhang Biao.

The auxiliary police officer laughed and said, "We don't know how to respond to what you're saying."

The third-level superintendent, being more experienced, said, "Welcome... well, I wouldn't say welcome. Protecting the safety of the people is our duty. I hope you won't do it again."

I had just crossed the street when I saw a large group of fruit market vendors gathered at the entrance, discussing something. I was about to go over and ask what was going on when I suddenly heard someone shout, "Liu Chuanfeng is out! Liu Chuanfeng is out!"

The solemnity of his tone made it seem less like he had just been released and more like he had been born or released from prison.

Later, after reviewing the events, I felt relieved. Everyone watched as two policemen "took me away," and then many people saw me escape into the police station, causing chaos inside. No one could guess what serious crime I had committed, so when I finally walked out as if nothing had happened, someone immediately said that the verdict had been handed down and I should go home and wait to be executed...

Only Sister Zhao remained true to her original aspiration, grabbing me and asking, "Xiao Liu, did you go to meditate alone?"

……

As I approached the stall, I saw Old Wang standing at the door, gesturing towards me from afar. I looked over and saw Sun Zhancheng and Wu Lianfeng pretending to pick out apples in front of my stall, Cheng Sihai sitting on a chair by Li Ping's door smoking, and Duan Shoujiang with bright eyes, chatting with Li Ping. This guy seems to have no resistance to women.

I strode forward and questioned Sun Zhancheng: "Didn't you say you were only going to make a phone call? Why are you here again?"

Sun Zhancheng asked, "What do the police want with you?"

"That's none of your business. What are you doing here?"

Sun Zhancheng said directly, "Chen Bing called me and said that you were the one who transferred our money."

You believe him just because he says so?

Sun Zhancheng said, "Whether we believe it or not is not important. I just knew that the four of us brothers were unlucky because of you two. We couldn't find him, so we could only find you."

"Tell me the result, what do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Lianfeng finally spoke up: "I haven't decided yet..."

I looked around, and Sun Zhancheng said, "Don't bother looking for idiots. Even if he beats us to death today, we'll still die at your doorstep!"

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

Old Wang overheard our conversation and couldn't help but exclaim, "You're Sun Zhancheng!"

Sun Zhancheng scoffed and said, "What's wrong with Sun Zhancheng? Sun Zhancheng is nothing without money. To tell you the truth, the four of us are penniless. We haven't even had breakfast or lunch. We've borrowed from everyone we can. If this matter isn't resolved today, we'll stick with you!"

Old Wang whispered to me, "Come eat at our stall earlier, I ate three apples by myself." I looked down and sure enough, there was a pile of apple cores on the ground...

Before I could say anything, Wu Lianfeng said, "Don't bring up your four hundred yuan. We've been diligently following the Southerners and waiting for Chen Bing for days now."

Cheng Sihai said while smoking, "You can call the police if you want. Even though we didn't do anything, we'll admit we threatened you. We can just take us to the detention center and live like gods."

Old Wang explained to him, "Detention centers are not as comfortable as prisons."

“How could I not understand?” Cheng Sihai said. “At least there’s heating in there, and I can eat my fill. Plus, I know a lot of people there, so I won’t be bullied.” After saying that, he picked up a longer cigarette butt from the glass bottle at his feet and lit it—it was Old Wang’s ashtray.

Duan Shoujiang said, "You guys go ahead, I think this is fine." Then he grinned at Li Ping and said, "Beautiful lady, I'll work for you from now on, no money needed, just food."

I waved my hands vigorously and said, "Come on, come over here and make things clear. What kind of result do you want?"

Except for Duan Shoujiang, who was still lingering there, Sun Zhancheng and the others came closer. Sun Zhancheng said, "Either you lead us to find Chen Bing and demand an explanation, or you return our money to us." He gave me another choice.

I shrugged and said, "The police are searching the whole world for Chen Bing, where am I supposed to look?"

"We don't care. If you don't agree, we'll follow you. We won't hit you or scold you. When we're hungry, we'll eat apples and when we're thirsty, we'll drink orange juice."

Cheng Sihai said, "If you don't want to feed us, then call the police! We'll go to the detention center for three to five days."

Duan Shoujiang said, "When the police arrive, we'll be aggressive and call it a 'serious offense,' so they'll stay for fifteen days!" I was speechless. There's a saying, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy," and I didn't pursue one either. The problem is, you can't prevent a desperate enemy from pursuing you. These guys are even poorer than a desperate enemy!

I said, "Do you think you're done once the money is back in your account?"

Wu Lianfeng asked in surprise, "You really have a way..."

"Don't ask!" Sun Zhancheng punched him hard and said to me firmly, "Yes! Give back what's rightfully ours, and we have nothing to do with you anymore—" He then said listlessly, "I don't want to ask about anything in the martial world anymore."

I said, "Then I'll give it a try."

Wu Lianfeng subconsciously said, "How could you—" He glanced cautiously at Sun Zhancheng, not finishing his sentence.

"I'm advising Chen Bing that this is between him and me, and he shouldn't involve you."

Sun Zhancheng exclaimed excitedly, "In short, it boils down to one thing: get the money back, and we'll disappear!"

Today is Saturday. At this hour, Liu Zhenhua is either taking a nap or making videos. I need to go home and discuss it with him first.

As I walked toward the market entrance, Sun Zhancheng and the others followed closely behind. Duan Shoujiang was still a little reluctant to part with Li Ping, but Sun Zhancheng sternly summoned him back to the group.

As soon as I stepped out of the market gate, they headed in another direction.

I asked hopefully, "You guys...aren't you coming?"

Sun Zhancheng said, "Let's go get the car. See you downstairs at your place in a bit."

I said, "Our community doesn't allow outside vehicles to enter."

Cheng Sihai said, "Who are you kidding? Only the south gate is closed, the north gate is open!"

……

When I arrived at the building entrance, they had arrived before me by car. The four of them sat in a dilapidated, old-fashioned Santana, staring at me. They had no intention of following me upstairs to cause trouble, nor did they intend to let me go.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Liu Zhenhua sitting shirtless in front of the computer fiddling with his videos. I said, "Stop playing around, your dad's been followed by a ghost!"

I recounted the terrifying incident at the police station that morning, as well as the stories of being possessed by four hungry ghosts. Liu Zhenhua then asked, "What do you think?"

"Let's just return their money." This was originally just a stopgap measure to divert attention and cause trouble, and now that I've achieved my goal, I plan to perform a ritual to help these four wandering ghosts find peace.

"Okay. What do you plan to do with Chen Bing?"

“Chen Bing also needs to be arrested, otherwise this matter is not over. Do you have any ideas on how to secretly help the police catch him?”

"Okay," Liu Zhenhua replied.

"Aren't you cold?" There's something wrong with the heating in our area; it's never warm enough. When I'm at home, I usually just wear a vest or pajamas, and sometimes I even have to add a cardigan.

"not cold."

This is like a silly boy sleeping on a cold kang (heated brick bed), relying entirely on the strong heat.

My silly son typed a few words on the keyboard and said to me, "Dad, do you want to hear good news or bad news first?"

"Why are you doing this too? Let's hear the bad news first!" I had a bad feeling; usually, at times like this, it's one bad news followed by an even worse one.

"The bad news is that Sun and his group can't repay their money; Chen Bing took it all in cash."

"What's the good news?"

"The good news is that my son and I can go together to catch Chen Bing. I can do social practice, and you can have parent-child time."
