Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 31 Night Detective
The next day, after finishing his morning exercises, Zhao Rui drove to Tian Yaru's house.

When he arrived, the little girl was still snuggled in her comfortable and luxurious bed, sleeping in late. In her world, getting up early on a holiday was impossible.

The maid opened the door and led Zhao Rui to the living room to wait.

Half an hour later, Tian Yaru came out, her face bare and wearing a light nightgown.

With delicate and petite features and soft facial lines, her skin was smooth and delicate even without makeup, exuding a charming beauty.

A young girl's delicate beauty is far more captivating and admirable than the beauty concealed by makeup.

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the time on her wrist, and said lazily, "Brother Zhao Rui, why are you here so early today!"

"Didn't you want to go out and have some fun? I asked Aunt Song for two hours of rest time so I can take you out for a walk and help you relax."

Zhao Rui sat on the sofa, picked up a fresh and juicy peach, took a bite, and said with great enjoyment.

"Great! Hehe, I knew I made the right choice in choosing Zhao Rui as my tutor."

The girl smiled brightly, then quickly turned and ran towards the washroom, saying as she ran, "Wait for me for ten minutes!"

Zhao Rui hummed in agreement and continued eating the peach. This kind of peach is not available in regular supermarkets or street vendors; you have to go to a specialty fruit shop to buy it.

It costs tens of yuan per kilogram, making it an absolute luxury fruit.

Zhao Rui worked as a tutor for about ten days. He didn't do much work, but he did enjoy some good food.

Ten minutes later, Tian Yaru, who had tidied up and put on some light makeup, walked over happily.

"Let's go!"

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

"I'm not eating anymore, I'm not hungry. Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'll eat when I get back!"

"All right!"

For a little girl who has been confined to the house for the entire holiday, going out to play in the outside world is the most urgent thing.

As soon as the two stepped out the door, a family chauffeur arrived in an Audi sedan to greet them.

After the two got into the car, Zhao Rui said to the driver, "To Heluo Park!"

Heluo Park is a comprehensive recreational park in Lincheng that integrates leisure, entertainment, and sports.

It not only regularly hosts various sports competitions, but also concerts, song and dance performances, and cultural performances organized by various independent groups.

It is very popular among citizens.

This was also the place he and Tian Yaru had arranged to visit.

The car arrived at Heluo Park in less than half an hour. Before the driver could even find a parking spot, Tian Yaru had already gotten out of the car impatiently.

"Don't play too wildly, or you'll have trouble explaining it when you get back."

Seeing the eager little girl, Zhao Rui quickly followed after her and gave her some instructions.

"No problem! I'll play this!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she ran towards the nearby comic book experience exhibition and plunged into it.

Zhao Rui shook his head and followed closely behind.

A moment later, the girl, dressed as Sakura, poked her head out of the fitting room and asked Zhao Rui, "Do you martial artists have X-ray vision?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui glared at her and said irritably, "If you can, then don't change it!"

"Ah? Really fake?"

The girl clutched her chest, her delicate eyes narrowing slightly, then she pursed her lips and said, "Whatever, I've been home for so many days, you've seen it all anyway. It doesn't matter!"

"..."

Zhao Rui was taken aback and was about to explain when he saw the little girl give a sly giggle and then disappear back into the fitting room.

This Kaman exhibition offers a simple role-playing experience; interested visitors can rent an anime character costume and participate in the exhibition.

"how about this?"

A moment later, Hatsune Miku, dressed in a futuristic outfit with two pigtails and a face as beautiful as a peach blossom, appeared in front of Zhao Rui.

The tight-fitting clothes perfectly showcased the girl's already beautiful figure, even though she was not fully developed.

"pretty good!"

"You should change into a different outfit too!"

"I won't change!"

"come on!"

Ten minutes later, Zhao Rui, dressed in a plain ancient-style long robe, looking like a refined gentleman, followed behind Hatsune Miku with a folding fan and an expressionless face, walking into the crowd.

"I'll tell you a secret, there's a girl in our class who likes Zhao Ke!"

Tian Yaru was skipping and jumping around, in a great mood.

Although her parents would take her out for walks occasionally, they mostly went to places like squares and shopping malls.

We certainly won't let her do any cosplay!

The little girl is quite sensible; she's giving back to the kind person she's given.

"It can't be you, can it?"

Zhao Rui said casually.

"certainly not!"

Colorful stickers were pasted under Tian Yaru's eyebrows and eyes, changing position as she squinted, making her already bright eyes even more lively and beautiful.

"I like someone who can protect me."

Tian Yaru's eyes sparkled, clearly lost in her fantasies about young men.

Just like you!

The girl suddenly looked at Zhao Rui and said something surprising.

"Cough cough!"

Zhao Rui blushed and was about to speak when the little girl giggled and said, "Just kidding!"

After saying that, her expression suddenly turned serious, and she said solemnly, "You don't have feelings for me, do you? She's your brother's classmate!"

Zhao Rui's cheek twitched.

What kind of kids are these? What are they thinking about all day long?

He immediately picked up his folding fan and tapped her on the head, saying expressionlessly, "I don't like little brats!"

Tian Yaru's eyes narrowed instantly, a cold glint flashing within them. "Whoa! I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhao Rui held the girl's head with one hand, letting her arms spin wildly like a windmill, but she couldn't reach him at all.

The two continued their playful antics, and the parade passed through the center of the park, arriving at a bustling square.

This place not only has a large flow of people, but also hosts many performances and various food stalls.

Tian Yaru was lively and soon became friends with several little girls who were also dressed in cosplay costumes.

The group of people laughed and joked as they played and frolicked in the parade, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Zhao Rui wasn't interested in this kind of activity, so he strolled slowly behind.

He didn't realize until he followed for a while that many pretty young girls had "protectors" behind them.

During this time, Zhao Rui saw three lecherous men trying to get close to the drag queens parading in front of them, but they were all numb and tingled by the people behind them.

One person who went too far was secretly kicked out of the parade, fell to the ground, and wailed in pain.

However, since everyone was used to this, it did not cause any disturbance.

Zhao Rui thought to himself: No wonder Mr. and Mrs. Tian didn't let her come here to play; it turns out there are too many perverts in this place!

After playing for more than an hour, Tian Yaru finally felt a little tired. She said goodbye to her newly met girlfriends and dragged Zhao Rui to the nearby snack street.

Then, with great enthusiasm, he showed off a bunch of street food.

Is it really that delicious?

"Of course it's delicious! My mom won't let me eat it!" Tian Yaru said, puffing out her cheeks without any regard for her image, as she ate the freshly grilled, heavily flavored squid skewers with great relish.

Zhao Rui's lips twitched; he felt that this girl wasn't so pretty anymore.

After walking around and filling their stomachs, the two returned to the changing room and changed back into their original clothes.

After leaving that place and strolling to a slightly quieter path, Tian Yaru turned to Zhao Rui and said, "Alright, you've played with me for half the day, now I'll tell you where those people are!"

"However, I won't show my face!"

"no problem!"

Zhao Rui nodded.

The two quickly got into the car and headed to the vicinity of the No. 1 Middle School.

Even when students are on holiday, these street thugs often loiter around the area, forming gangs and getting into fights.

The car drove slowly at the entrance of the alley. On this hot summer day, there were not many pedestrians around.

"It's too hot. Those bastards must have gone somewhere to cool off. Uncle Wang, go to the pool hall up ahead, it's just around the corner."

Upon hearing the instructions, driver Uncle Wang immediately turned the car around and headed to the billiard hall ahead.

This driver, Uncle Wang, is no ordinary person either; he is a level three martial artist with martial arts skills.

He must be a special forces soldier who was transferred from the military.

The car turned a corner, and in less than a minute, it arrived at the entrance of a billiard hall that looked rather old.

"Uncle Wang, drive the car away, let's hide around that corner!"

Tian Yaru seemed to have gotten so caught up in the detective movie that she became completely absorbed in the covert investigation.

Zhao Rui followed her, hiding far away in a corner of a residential building, where he could see the entrance to the billiard hall.

"You seem to know this place very well!"

Seeing the little girl crouching down and acting suspiciously, Zhao Rui couldn't help but ask.

"That's not important!"
The little girl stared at the entrance of the billiard hall without turning her head.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui said no more and followed her to look ahead.

The scorching heat of the sun was blocked by tall buildings, leaving behind a cool shade that was somewhat stuffy, and the occasional breeze that blew by was full of dry air.

After lying down for five or six minutes, Tian Yaru sat up abruptly and said softly, "I'm too tired. You keep an eye on things, I'm going to rest for a while!"

After saying that, she took a step back, squatted down against the wall, and looked at her phone.

Zhao Rui shook his head and continued to stare at the billiard hall, since he didn't have anything else to do this morning anyway.

After waiting for another half hour, Zhao Rui's eyes suddenly brightened. He saw several oddly dressed teenagers walking out of the billiard hall with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Zhao Rui quickly called out to Tian Yaru.

The little girl immediately stood up, bent down and looked over, and said with delight, "It's them! The one with blue hair in the lead is called Brother Pao, and the others are his underlings."

Zhao Rui stared intently, his eyes narrowing slightly, because he saw a familiar face—one of his younger brother's classmates, whom he had met in school before.

That’s right!
Zhao Rui understood the situation and memorized the images of the group. He then stood up and said, "Alright, I understand. Let's go back; it's getting late!"

"Aren't you going to go beat them up?"

Tian Yaru asked in surprise.

"Who said I was going to beat them up!"

Zhao Rui smiled and walked towards the back of the building.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Tian Yaru immediately followed, pouting as she said, "You're lying. You'll definitely deal with them secretly later. You just don't want anyone to know, including me."

"This little brat knows quite a lot, isn't he afraid I'll kill him to silence him!"

"Tch, you're just a little kid too, only two years older than me!"

Tian Yaru rolled her eyes at Zhao Rui, then snorted and walked towards the Audi that was driving up in the distance.

Half an hour later, the two took a car back to Tian Yaru's villa.

No one was home. Tian Muhao was usually busy with his business and rarely came home on time. Sometimes he would go on business trips to other places and stay for several days at a time.

As for Ms. Song, as the wife of a wealthy man, her leisure life is incredibly rich. She's probably at some health club taking care of her skin right now!
"I've been playing all morning, let's study! I'll come back tomorrow."

After Zhao Rui safely escorted Tian Yaru home, he prepared to leave.

"Be careful if you go at night, they have..."

knife!"

Seeing Zhao Rui walk out, Tian Yaru thought for a moment and then called out to him.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but smile, but didn't reply. It's a pity this girl doesn't know martial arts, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible to take her along.

Soon it was evening. Zhao Rui changed into a black tracksuit, put on a mask, and rode his bike to the neighborhood where he had been that morning.

After hiding the car, he kept a safe distance from the cameras and quietly approached the vicinity of the billiard hall.

In the hazy night, the twinkling stars shone like diamonds set on a curtain.

After patiently waiting for about two hours, the group finally strolled out of the billiard hall in a sauntering and nonchalant manner.

Zhao Rui followed at a distance, concealing his presence.

The group of men went to the roadside, flirted with a few young women, and then headed to another street.

Zhao Rui wasn't in a hurry and continued to follow.

About ten minutes later, the group entered a small courtyard along the street, about five or six miles from the school.
"Brother, could you lend me some more money? I'm out of cash!"

"All you ever think about is borrowing money! How many clients have you brought me this past month? If you don't get any business soon, I'll cripple you!"

The voice coming from inside was strong and resonant; you could tell at a glance that the person was a trained martial artist.

Zhao Rui looked around, used the wall for leverage, and then flipped and jumped up the building.

I quietly peered down from the rooftop and saw the guy I'd met at noon lying on the ground, shivering all over.

A broad-nosed young man with tattoos all over his arms was kicking him.

"If school doesn't start, you won't keep in touch? I'm counting on you guys to make money all day long, I'd starve to death! Get the hell out of here!"

The broad-nosed youth kicked Pao Ge hard, driving him and his henchmen out.

The young women were so frightened they were like little quails, and were about to leave with Brother Pao and his group.

Then they heard the broad-nosed young man shout at them, "Why are you running? Come here, I'll take you guys to eat barbecue."

After saying that, he spat in the direction where Brother Pao had left: "Useless!"

The group of young women exchanged glances and then walked over timidly.

"Hey, damn it, I'm not going to eat you guys. Go ask around, when have I ever bullied a woman!"

After he finished speaking, he whistled towards the house behind him, and soon five or six shirtless, tattooed men came out.

"Let's go eat!"

The man with the broad nose shouted and led the men and women out of the courtyard.

Zhao Rui watched them leave coldly, then jumped down from upstairs in a flash and quickly went into the room.

As soon as he opened the door, a thick smell of smoke hit him, almost choking him even through his mask.

The house was simply furnished with a coffee table, sofa, large fish tank, TV, air conditioner, and small stools.

On a mahjong table, there were still toilet paper and cigarette butts scattered about.

Zhao Rui glanced around, then turned and went into the bedroom, which was quite clean and tidy.

By the moonlight, he began searching the closets in the bedroom.

After searching for a while, I found a small medicine bottle in the drawer with the words "Xiaoyao Wan" written on it.

Zhao Rui wasn't quite sure what this thing was, but judging from the conversation just now, it was highly likely that his younger brother got the Qi-Inducing Pill from him.
