Let the true energy circulate for a while

Chapter 25 Your father is great, and you are great too.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

In the old town office, Chen Jianbin yawned, looking exhausted.

"Uncle Chen, did you not sleep well last night?" a newly arrived trainee police officer asked.

Chen Jianbin rubbed his eyes and casually said, "I'm getting old, it's nothing."

"I'll make you a strong cup of tea." The intern went to get the tea leaves.

A few people nearby were talking about something.

"Last night, we were on a call and ran into the Xincheng Bat Duo. They were awesome!"

Several people were gathered around, looking very excited.

"There was a drunk guy on the bar street who molested a hostess at a KTV. He was pulling and tugging at her on the street. Eventually, the hostess became very aggressive, and the manager came out and gathered a group of young men who got into a fight with the drunk guys."

"Did you not agree on the price?"

"Who knows? A fight broke out in the street, and then two men in black, who looked like Batman, came out. One of them, an older man, went up and unleashed a flurry of punches, taking down one of the guys with the brick!"

The men who returned from their duties were beaming with excitement.

One of them was playing CCTV footage from the bar entrance on his phone, and several people craned their necks to look.

There were indeed two men in black, wearing hoods.

"Is this Batman? This looks like a bootleg costume, why are there dog ears?"

The video surveillance shows that about seven or eight people from two groups got into a fight, and the scene was very chaotic.

On one side is a drunkard, and on the other is a spirited young man. To put it bluntly, there's no definitive answer as to who's right and who's wrong, but if things continue to escalate, it might lead to bloodshed.

In the video, two men in black appear. One of them, who is muscular, rushes forward and knocks down a drunk man with a series of punches, and then knocks down a young man with a puffy physique.

"Brother Xu, did this man in black take down one person from each of the two fighting sides? Doesn't that qualify as an act of heroism?"

"Where are they? Have you found them?"

"Keep watching."

The young police officer swiped through the second video. In the video, both sides were dumbfounded. It was hard to hear clearly what the masked man in black said at the end, but it seemed to have angered both groups at the same time. They actually united and charged towards the man in black.

The man in black couldn't defend himself and was kicked in the waist. Then another man in black appeared. He was very skilled and took down several of them in a few moves.

Then the sirens went off, and the two men in black ran away. Several others who had been shouting but hadn't actually done anything also ran away.

Police officers from nearby patrols arrived quickly and apprehended the men who had been knocked to the ground.

"When we got there, they had already run away. Someone nearby filmed it with their phone, and I reckon you'll see those videos soon."

"This looks a bit like military boxing; could this guy be a soldier?"

"The second man in black is amazing! Look at his legwork, it's so beautiful."

"By the way, could those two be the aliens that the person at the Civil Rights Bureau reported seeing last time?"

Chen Jianbin walked over, carrying a thermos, with his other hand on his waist, and his gait was somewhat awkward.

"What are you talking about, you seem so excited?"

Several young people quickly greeted him.

"Uncle Chen, it's nothing. It's just what happened in Captain He's jurisdiction last night." A young police officer handed over his phone.

Chen Jianbin took it and looked at it, laughing as he read, "This man in black fought really well, he's amazing."

"Uncle Chen, what happened to your back?"

Chen Jianbin rubbed his lower back: "It's nothing, I'm getting old, sitting in the office all day, my herniated disc flared up."

"Uncle Chen, have you ever seen a case like this before?"

Chen Jianbin said earnestly, "No, but this society needs these righteous people who walk in the darkness, punish evil and promote good, and eliminate violence and maintain peace."

"Uncle, I arrested them yesterday. The young man was a good-for-nothing hoodlum, but the drunk one was a deputy section chief from the district environmental protection bureau. I reckon he'll be punished."

Chen Jianbin was indignant: "Serves him right! As a public official, how could he go to an entertainment venue to find hostesses and even try to grope them for free! He deserves to be beaten! Good riddance!"

"Those who ran away must be his accomplices!" Chen Jianbin said decisively.

The young police officer looked surprised. "Uncle, why are you talking like someone from ancient times?"

Chen Jianbin cleared his throat: "He's been watching too many TV dramas lately. Has he betrayed his accomplices yet?"

The young police officer shook his head: "I don't know about this. Anyway, he's at the precinct, so we can't say what happens next."

Chen Jianbin suddenly asked, "Do you think those two men in black are handsome?"

The young officer said, "His skills are alright, but his uniform is too cheap, especially the ears on his head, which look like those of a wolfhound. It's a bit of an eyesore."

Chen Jianbin silently remembered those words.

"There are already videos online!" someone exclaimed.

The video was taken by a passerby, which provides a better angle than surveillance footage.

Chen Jianbin suppressed his excitement and also craned his neck to look.

#The thrilling Black Dog Hero in the bar street.

"Black Dog Hero?"

"A very fitting title."

Chen Jianbin's face darkened; he felt it necessary to upgrade his clothing. So, he sat down to the side, silently opened his phone, and searched for clothes on various e-commerce platforms that better suited his style.

"Perhaps I can design one myself."

Chen Jianbin took out his meeting notes notebook and a ballpoint pen and began to draw a sketch.

Half an hour later, he looked at his several sketches and smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Jianbin clenched his fist, held it across his chest, and shook it. "Chen Jianbin, your idea is fantastic!"

The sketch depicts a man wearing a straw hat, carrying a long sword on his shoulder, with a gourd of wine hanging from his waist, looking up at the sky and letting out a long howl.

Happiness is so simple.

He wrote a rather cringey poem next to the sketch:

Heroes rise and fall with the times, and once you enter the world of martial arts, time flies by. Empires and conquests are discussed in jest, and nothing beats a life of carefree revelry.

He immediately opened his phone, went to e-commerce platforms such as Taoduoduo and Jingmaomao, and selected his favorite wine gourd designs, as well as knives, straw hats, clothing, etc.

……

Meanwhile, Chen Ye was at Xincheng Central Hospital.

The latest enhanced brain CT scan of my father has come back—it's fantastic news!

In the office, Dr. Wang said with a smile, "Your father is recovering quite well recently. Judging from the scans, his brain nerves are very active, and he is unlikely to develop depression or schizophrenia."

Chen Ye said, "I only drank the calming oral liquid for a few days."

Dr. Wang explained earnestly, "That's just an aid; your family atmosphere must be good. From a medical perspective, a pleasant mood can regulate the balance of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain, promoting the repair of damaged brain nerves."

Chen Ye asked, "And what about his physical condition?"

Dr. Wang exclaimed in amazement, "All the indicators are positive! Have you been using imported drugs privately? Like targeted therapies such as rotuximab?"

Chen Ye shook his head with a smile: "There's no such thing as imported medicine. It's just that my dad has been in a good mood lately, he's eating well, and he's much more cheerful."

Dr. Wang listened with delight, "I guessed right! I'll definitely have your father come again next week. I want to ask him about his daily condition in detail. His case is truly special; the brain nerve repair combined with the tumor's improvement is nothing short of a medical miracle."

"OK."

Dr. Wang said earnestly, "Mindset is very important, and happiness is also very important. Many patients develop depression later in life, mostly because psychological factors affect physical health. You should encourage your father to do things he enjoys. Does he like fishing at his age?"

Chen Ye said sincerely, "Dr. Wang, I think you are a good doctor. My father has a deep-seated obsession, which is a regret from his youth. I am helping him realize it."

"What obsession?" the doctor asked.

"My father dreamed of traveling the world in white robes, sword in hand."

"What do you mean?"

"He often fantasizes that he is a great hero in the world of martial arts."

A brief silence.

After a long pause, Dr. Wang spoke, "I support him!" He then paused.

"At least for now, we should support him! I bet he was obsessed with martial arts movies when he was a kid!"

Chen Ye was slightly surprised, not expecting Dr. Wang to be so open-minded.

Dr. Wang smiled and explained, "It's not about him actually becoming a knight-errant. What I mean is, if the conditions allow, we can take him to play a live-action murder mystery game and let him experience what it's like to be a knight-errant. We can also take him to Shanghe Garden in Biancheng, which has a large ancient scenic area. Spending this money is better than spending it in the hospital in the future."

"Yes!" Chen Ye nodded emphatically.

Dr. Wang suddenly said, "Young man, your father is great, and you are great too."

Chen Ye's phone rang.

He opened it and saw a message from his father, along with a photo—a sketch.

[This is my new design, what do you think?]

Chen Ye chuckled and typed back: 【Great】

……

After leaving the hospital, Chen Ye headed towards the audition site.

The phone rang again; it was Tang Long calling.

"Hey, Uncle Tang."

On the phone, Tang Long sounded somewhat hurried:

"Hey, Aye, a professional player named Zhao Zihao has signed up, and you've been matched up. If I'm not mistaken, Wu Tianming is targeting you."
