A single divination predicts life and death; the entire internet begs me to start a live stream.

"Dad?!"

Luo Tiancheng's voice echoed through the silo.

It was bounced back by all nine cement silos at the same time.

The echo circled around the old factory several times.

The scene was completely silent.

Wang Tianhao looked at Luo Tiancheng in disbelief.

"Master Luo... Master Luo."

"It's not that bad."

"It's really not that bad."

He glanced again at the disheveled man with messy hair carrying a wine jug at the top of the silo.

"If you can't beat them, just admit it... You don't have to be beaten to a pulp!"

The live stream chat paused for a moment.

It then exploded completely.

[Dad?]

Master Luo would rather die than submit, unless the other party is his own father!

Is this disheveled old man really Luo Tiancheng's father?

No wonder he couldn't win any fights along the way!

The man on the silo squinted.

He looked down at Luo Tiancheng for a long time.

It's like trying hard to remember who the thing below belongs to.

Then.

He spat out the half-smoked cigarette butt from his mouth.

"Who are you?"

Luo Tiancheng's face instantly turned ashen.

"Luo Shouzhou!"

"Try installing another one for me!"

"Believe it or not, I won't take care of you in your old age or bury you when you die!"

Luo Shouzhou squinted for a few more seconds, then lazily yawned.

"oh."

"It turns out to be my unfortunate son who ran away from home."

Who ran away from home?

Luo Tiancheng was trembling with anger.

"It's because you drink, gamble, and spend money every day!"

Luo Shouzhuo asked:

"So, did you leave or not?"

"..."

Luo Tiancheng opened his mouth, but couldn't find a rebuttal.

Luo Shouzhou added:

"So many years."

"His skills haven't improved much."

"His voice is getting louder and louder."

Luo Tiancheng pointed to his body covered in wounds.

"I just broke through all your formations!"

Luo Shouzhuo nodded.

"Um."

"We dismantled several formations that weren't intended to harm anyone."

"I almost worked myself to death."

"It's quite an honor."

"..."

The comments continued to scroll across the screen.

[The cheeky one has finally met his match!]

As expected, kid can't beat me.

[A shared lineage]

Their identities have been revealed.

Lin Wanqing's tense expression also eased slightly.

Since he is Luo Tiancheng's father, we can sit down and talk about any misunderstandings.

Luo Shouzhou tucked the old compass under his arm and stepped out of the silo.

Wang Tianhao subconsciously looked up.

"Is he going to jump?"

Luo Shouzhou lightly tapped his foot.

The earth's veins around the entire factory rose up as a result.

One step and it landed.

He had already moved from the top of the silo to halfway up.

One more step.

Step onto the abandoned conveyor belt.

Take the third step.

The person has landed at the entrance of the underground passage.

Tens of meters high.

It was like three steps beneath his feet.

He didn't even bother to tidy his clothes after landing.

He walked underground without looking back.

Luo Tiancheng chased after him.

"It's been so many years."

"You react like this when you see me?"

Luo Shouzhuo said:

"Otherwise what?"

"Shall I kowtow to you?"

"..."

"besides."

Luo Shouzhou turned around and glanced at the injury on his hand.

"It can't even be secured with a soil sealing nail."

"Don't say I taught you."

"Shameful."

Luo Tiancheng almost pounced on him on the spot.

"I just came from the Qin family ancestral home!"

"The injury hasn't healed yet!"

"Wait until I recover before you try again!"

Luo Shouzhou kept walking.

"Losers always like to talk about their heyday."

Wang Tianhao followed behind.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

Luo Tiancheng suddenly turned around.

Wang Tianhao quickly regained his composure.

"I think Uncle Luo makes a good point."

Lin Wanqing glanced at the father and son.

The previously oppressive atmosphere eased somewhat.

Wang Tianhao was completely relieved.

"You should have said so earlier."

"One family."

He patted the dust off his clothes.

He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and strode towards the underpass.

"Uncle Luo!"

"Since we're all on the same side."

"Then we'll take Liu Jianguo with us first."

Luo Shouzhu simply raised two fingers.

Swipe down randomly.

hum!

Above the factory area.

A thick steel pipe suspended from the crane suddenly detached.

call--!

The steel pipe tore through the night wind.

It crashed down at an angle from a height of tens of meters.

Wang Tianhao had just raised his head.

boom!

The steel pipe slammed heavily in front of him.

Distance from the toe of the shoe.

Less than ten centimeters.

The soil exploded.

Gravel flew everywhere.

The steel pipe was inserted into the ground at an angle.

The tail end was still shaking violently.

hum-

Wang Tianhao froze.

That foot that has already stepped out.

I didn't dare to miss a beat for half a day.

The live stream chat exploded again.

Holy crap!

[It almost hit Wang Tianhao!]

Is this what a family is like?

[Even if it's my own son's friend, I'll still smash it!]

Luo Shouzhou didn't even lift his eyelids.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket.

It shook for a long time.

He only managed to shake out a crumpled cigarette.

"First."

"I'm not your uncle."

He put the cigarette in his mouth.

Light the match.

The faint firelight illuminated his stubble-covered face.

"second."

"I didn't tell you to take them away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream signal was cut off, and the screen went black.

Wang Tianhao slowly withdrew his foot.

He took three steps back.

"Aren't you Master Luo's father?"

Luo Shouzhou took a drag of his cigarette.

"He is my son."

Luo Shouzhou did not stop, but turned the old compass over so that it was upright and lazily flicked the edge of the compass with his fingers.

hum-

The underground passage that had just appeared became blurry again.

The earth's energy from the nine silos suddenly collapsed.

Weeds blocked the factory gate.

The conveyor belt cuts across the road.

The entire old concrete plant was closed again.

Luo Tiancheng's anger flared up again.

"Then why are you still stopping me?"

Luo Shouzhou's actions were perfectly reasonable.

"Why wouldn't we stop them?"

"you......"

"Does having my own son mean I can skip out on orders?"

"I……"

Luo Tiancheng was so rebuked that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Wang Tianhao decisively hid behind Chen Bufan and lowered his voice.

"Master Chen, is their home always so warm and welcoming?"

Luo Shouzhu leaned against the cement wall.

One hand was in his pocket.

He held a cigarette in his other hand.

He was so lazy that he looked like he might sit down and fall asleep at any moment.

The words spoken.

There was absolutely no room for negotiation.

"I'll take the money."

"work."

Lin Wanqing's relaxed expression turned serious again.

"Mr. Luo."

"I am a criminal police officer from Haicheng—"

"I know."

Luo Shouzhou interrupted him directly.

"The ID was just shown."

"The font is quite large; I'm not blind yet."

Lin Wanqing stared at him.

"Liu Jianguo is involved in a major criminal case."

"The police need..."

Luo Shouzhou took a drag of his cigarette.

"Where to take it?"

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly.

Luo Shouzhu lazily raised his eyelids.

"This is Qingzhou."

"You are a police officer from Haicheng."

"What about the procedures for cross-regional case handling cooperation?"

"Where's the inquiry notice?"

"Or should I say..."

"Are you planning to detain him directly as a criminal suspect?"

He pointed at Liu Jianguo.

Do you have a warrant for arrest?

Do you have a detention warrant?

Do you have an arrest warrant?

Lin Wanqing said:

"Liu Jianguo is not a criminal suspect now."

"That makes it even simpler."

Luo Shouzhuo exhaled smoke.

"He is a witness."

"You can ask here."

"We can also notify him to cooperate with the investigation in accordance with the law."

"But we will cooperate with the investigation."

"It doesn't mean you can force someone into a car just by showing your ID."

Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice:

"Citizens have an obligation to cooperate with police investigations."

Luo Shouzhuo nodded.

Did I say no?

"He's willing to be questioned here, but he doesn't want to leave with you."

Do you have any documents proving that coercive measures have been taken against him?

"Why should I bring it?"

He flicked away his cigarette ash and pointed to the dark marks around Liu Jianguo's ankle.

"We'll see."

"Carry him out now."

"Who's responsible if someone dies on the way?"

Lin Wanqing was unable to answer for a moment.

Luo Shouzhu leaned back against the wall lazily.

"Don't use your police status to intimidate me."

"Although I often run into debt when I play cards."

"I did read a few pages of the legal provisions."

Wang Tianhao asked Luo Tiancheng in a low voice:

"Does your dad even know anything about the law?"

Luo Tiancheng's face darkened.

"He used to research how not to get arrested."

"He's taking it more seriously than a lawyer."

Luo Shouzhuo raised his eyelids.

"fart."

"I'm doing this to prevent you from committing crimes and getting involved with me."

Luo Tiancheng took a deep breath.

"Don't worry."

Even if I get caught.

"I also said that I didn't have a father growing up."

The father and son recognized each other, but this did not resolve any of their conflicts.

This only made things more complicated.

Luo Tiancheng stared at the steel pipe stuck in front of Wang Tianhao.

His complexion grew increasingly grim.

"You're using Hengtai's money to stop your son."

Luo Shouzhu flicked his cigarette ash.

"The commissions came first."

"Your successor."

"It's all about first come, first served."

"I'm your own son!"

"Does having your own son allow you to cut in line?"

Luo Tiancheng was so angry he laughed.

"You have quite a bit of professional ethics."

"The main reason is that the other party pays."

"You won't give it to me."

Wang Tianhao carefully handed the cigarette over again:

"Master Luo."

"It really won't work."

"Shall I raise the price for you?"

Luo Shouzhuo waved his hand, taking the cigarette away.

"Oh, it's an imported product."

Light it, take a deep drag, and slowly exhale, looking extremely satisfied.

"The items are great, but unfortunately I can't afford them..."

"Master Luo, name your price, I have the money."

Luo Shouzhu waved his hand.

"In our line of work, the worst thing you can do is to compromise your principles for a pittance."

"It's not an auction, there's no point in bidding up and down like this."

Chen Bufan ignored their argument.

He entered the underground passage.

Liu Jianguo was curled up on the ground.

His face turned pale.

The dark line below my ankle has faded.

My chest was still heaving violently.

Luo Shouzhou squatted down.

He pulled a crumpled yellow talisman from his pocket.

The corners of the talisman were covered in cigarette ash.

There was also an oil stain on the edge.

Luo Tiancheng saw it at a glance.

"You used the Luo family's talisman to pad peanuts?"

"no."

Luo Shouzhuo placed the talisman on Liu Jianguo's ankle.

"I had fried dough sticks for breakfast."

The life-saving talisman fell.

Nourishes—

The dark lines under Liu Jianguo's skin suddenly contracted.

My body immediately relaxed.

Luo Shouzhou then took out the medicine bottle.

Pour out two pills.

Liu Jianguo did not hesitate.

He took it and swallowed it directly.

Luo Shouzhou shook the empty wine pot.

There is no water.

He picked up a half-empty bottle of mineral water from the wall and handed it over.

"Old Liu, does it still hurt?"

Liu Jianguo took a few breaths.

"Master Luo, I feel much better."

"Then don't run around."

Luo Shouzhuo glanced at the exit.

"Your life."

"His brain is even more fragile than my son's."

"We can't afford the hassle."

Luo Shouzhuo's actions were anything but perfunctory.

Lin Wanqing walked up to the old man.

Show your identification.

"Liu Jianguo".

"You are involved in the old street demolition incident five years ago."

"He was also a party involved in Hengtai's fabricated death records."

"The police need your assistance in their investigation."

Liu Jianguo saw the police officer's ID.

His eyes clearly wavered.

But when his gaze swept over Chen Bufan and Luo Tiancheng...

His body quickly shrank back.

"I'm not leaving."

Liu Jianguo kept shaking his head.

"You'll die if you go outside."

"I'm not going out."

"These past two weeks."

"I've been in four accidents."

He looked up at Luo Shouzhou.

"It was Master Luo who saved me."

"I'm right here."

Lin Wanqing asked:

"Is someone preventing you from leaving?"

"no."

"Is someone threatening you that you have to stay?"

Liu Jianguo hesitated for a moment.

He still shook his head.

"no."

"It's my own fault for not leaving."

Lin Wanqing looked at the bruise on his ankle.

There was no order to forcibly take people away.

Liu Jianguo was conscious.

Forcibly taking him away could very well cost him his life.

Luo Tiancheng suppressed his anger.

"What exactly did Hengtai commission you accept?"

"Protect three people."

Luo Shouzhuo held up three fingers.

"Shi Zhiyuan."

"Liu Jianguo".

"Zhou Heng".

"Hengtai has been targeted by a group of people from the Xuanmen sect."

"Someone wants to kill the three of them."

"Another problem will arise with the South District project."

"They swallowed Hengtai at a low price."

Luo Tiancheng sneered.

"You actually believe this kind of nonsense?"

"I don't believe him."

Luo Shouzhou tapped his head.

"I believe what I see."

"There is bloodshed in Zhou Heng's life palace."

"Shi Zhiyuan has marks on his body that could kill him."

"Old Liu has a life-threatening line on his ankle."

"The things on the three people."

"It's all true."

Luo Shouzhou squatted down.

He dragged a worn-out toolbox out from the corner of the wall.

The zipper is unzipped.

A section of broken brake line.

Several rusted bolts.

A blackened gas valve.

There is also an old tape recorder.

He knocked them to the ground one by one.

"first."

"Old Liu is crossing the road."

A truck came rushing towards us.

"The brake line was cut off in advance."

Luo Shouzhu kicked the section of the oil pipe.

"If I had arrived even a moment later..."

"He has now passed the seventh day after his death and his body is hanging on the wall."

"The second time."

"Go to the hospital to get your medicine."

"The 'GG' sign fell from the seventh floor."

"Eight fixing bolts."

"It's all been tampered with."

The charred gas valve was thrown back onto the ground.

"The third time."

"Gas leak at residence."

"The valve was deliberately damaged."

"The windows are locked from the outside."

At last.

Luo Shouzhuo pressed the record button.

Shila-

The sound of electricity crackling echoed through the underground passage.

Followed by.

An old woman's voice came out.

"Nation-building".

"Open the door."

"I'm back."

Liu Jianguo's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He covered his ears tightly with both hands.

The woman in the recording is still knocking on the door.

thump.

thump.

thump.

thump.

"Nation-building".

Why aren't you opening the door?

Luo Shouzhuo turned off the recording.

"His wife."

He died ten years ago.

"For seven consecutive days."

"Every night at midnight."

"They all stood outside the door and called to him."

Four attacks.

These are all true stories.

"Is Hengtai a good thing?"

"I don't care."

"Someone wants to kill Lao Liu."

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"They gave me money."

"Let me save my life."

He lifted his eyelids.

Why didn't you take this order?

Lin Wanqing stepped forward to provide Luo Shouzhuo with updates on the police's current progress.

Luo Shouzhou listened the whole time.

After he finished speaking, he only asked one question:

"Where's the evidence?"

"The police are investigating!"

"Investigating."

Luo Shouzhuo nodded.

"There's no evidence yet."

Luo Tiancheng pointed at Chen Bufan.

"Chen Bufan wouldn't talk nonsense."

Luo Shouzhou finally looked at Chen Bufan.

"Does whatever this guy surnamed Chen says go?"

"When did you become so easily fooled?"

Luo Tiancheng's face darkened.

Do you know how many people he has saved?

"Save them?"

Luo Shouzhuo countered with a question.

"Aren't I saving people right now?"

Chen Bufan closed the "Record of Destiny".

"The people who attacked Liu Jianguo."

"You can continue the investigation."

"But Hengtai did bad things."

"That's true."

Luo Shouzhuo said:

"You investigate."

"I won't stop you."

"The person cannot be taken away."

Luo Shouzhou pointed at Liu Jianguo.

"What questions do you have?"

"Ask here."

"They wanted to take him away by force."

He exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Get past me first."

Lin Wanqing turned on the body camera and looked at Liu Jianguo again.

"The night the old street was demolished five years ago."

"What exactly did you see?"

Liu Jianguo's body suddenly tensed up.

My fingers started to tremble.

His lips opened and closed several times.

In the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence:

"I have no idea."

Chen Bufan placed the yellow safety helmet in front of him.

Inside of the hat.

The faded writing still exists.

[Xisi.]

[Dongyi.]

[Shenqi.]

Chen Bufan looked at Liu Jianguo.

That night.

"The people down there didn't die."

Liu Jianguo suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting sharply.

How did you know—

He hadn't finished speaking.

The dark lines under my ankles suddenly flared up.

Swish!

The black aura rushed up to my knees.

It went straight to my heart.

Liu Jianguo clutched his chest.

He fell backward.

Luo Shouzhuo flicked his finger.

The life-protecting talisman flew out into the air.

Snapped!

The talisman was precisely affixed to the black line.

The black energy was forcibly pushed back into his calves.

Luo Shouzhou stood in front of Liu Jianguo.

"I already told you not to pressure him."

Liu Jianguo huddled against the wall.

I was covered in cold sweat.

Repeatedly in his mouth:

"I have no idea."

"I don't know anything."

Luo Shouzhou picked up the safety helmet.

They put it back on his head.

That's all for today.

Lin Wanqing said:

"We haven't finished asking."

"Ask again."

Luo Shouzhou glanced at Liu Jianguo's chest.

"The person is gone."

Luo Tiancheng blocked the underground passage.

"We must take these people with us."

Luo Shouzhou looked up at him.

"You can't take it with you."

Luo Tiancheng took a deep breath.

Four soil-sealing nails slid out from the cuffs.

Hold it between your fingers.

"Then let's give it a try."

Luo Shouzhou stared at him for a few seconds.

He lazily reached into his pocket.

The cigarette pack was empty.

He frowned.

He pointed at Luo Tiancheng.

Do you have any cigarettes?

"No!"

"Where's the wine?"

"No, not at all!"

Luo Shouzhou sighed, as if he was utterly disappointed in his son.

"Master Luo, I still have some here."

Wang Tianhao eagerly approached again, but Luo Tiancheng grabbed him.

Then.

Luo Shouzhou held the old compass horizontally in front of him.

The nine silos emitted a muffled rumble at the same time.

The underground passage is closing in inch by inch.

The entire old concrete plant exudes the atmosphere of the mountains and rivers.

It pressed down on the crowd again.

"OK."

Luo Shouzhu stretched his shoulders.

"I didn't get enough of a beating when I was a kid."

"I'll make it up today."
