Let the true energy circulate for a while

……

Xincheng East Railway Station, in the waiting hall.

The place was bustling with noise; fewer people are taking the regular train now, but more are taking the high-speed rail.

Chen Ye, carrying his luggage, looked up at the train schedule display screen in the hall.

Chen Jianbin squatted down, opened his briefcase, took out a pair of underwear, rubbed it, and put it in his pocket.

"Ono, you wait here, I'm going to the restroom."

What were you doing just now?

Chen Jianbin shouted loudly, "I'm having diarrhea, I'm going to change my underwear."

A group of people nearby turned to look, and some subconsciously took a few steps back.

Chen Ye was somewhat speechless; his father's mental state was becoming increasingly carefree and unrestrained.

"Then hurry up, they're about to check your tickets."

Chen Jianbin jogged into the restroom, glancing out of the corner of his eye at a couple embracing not far away.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, an announcement came over the loudspeaker in the lobby:

Ladies and gentlemen! Boarding for train G410, departing from Xincheng East Station and bound for Luocheng Longmen Station, is now open. Passengers, please take your belongings and proceed to the designated ticket gates for boarding.

Then the Western version was played again:

【Ladies and gentlemen!The G410 train from Xincheng East Station to Luocheng Longmen Station is now boarding.Passengers traveling on this train, please take all your personal belongings and check in at the designated gate.】

A large crowd was scrambling toward the ticket gate. Chen Ye stood still, staring at the restroom entrance, feeling a little anxious.

Chen Jianbin came running from that direction in a panic, hopping on one leg as he ran to pick up his shoes.

"Dad, hurry up."

"Here it comes! The entire bathroom is filled with smoke, like a fairyland."

The father and son passed through the ticket gates smoothly. While waiting for their train on the platform, Chen Jianbin whispered, "Xiao Ye, someone's watching us. There's a couple on the west side. Don't look."

Chen Ye understood and replied, "You deliberately made a fool of yourself and went to the restroom just to confirm this."

"Yeah, Dad's counter-surveillance awareness is ingrained in his bones. I sensed something was wrong as soon as we entered the station, but I didn't know who it was or why they were watching us."

Chen Ye was deeply moved. Had the accidental killing yesterday been exposed so quickly? He remained outwardly calm and boarded the high-speed train with his father.

Chen Ye didn't tell his father about this, mainly because he was afraid his father would worry. At the time, a beggar had been scared away. Even if his father reported it to the police, it shouldn't have led to such a quick targeting of him.

My dad and I had been in and out of that alleyway many times before, and he said that the security camera there was broken.

After the father and son boarded the high-speed train and found their seats, Chen Jianbin pulled back the curtain of the train window a little and peeked out. Sure enough!

He saw the couple; one of them was holding a Bluetooth headset with one hand, looking serious, his mouth opening and closing as if he were saying something.

They did not get on the bus.

Chen Jianbin pointed his phone camera at the gap in the curtains and took a few photos.

As a veteran police officer, Chen Jianbin certainly has his own connections!

So he made a phone call to his old friend, He Zhichong.

Beep beep beep—the call is connected.

"Hey, Lao He, have you eaten yet?"

He Zhichong's calm voice came through the phone: "I've eaten. Is there something you need?"

"I'm on vacation, visiting Los Angeles for a few days. Didn't your Criminal Investigation Division recently set up a big data team? I was just at the high-speed rail station when I was followed by two people, a man and a woman. It's very suspicious. Could you check it out for me? I'll send the photos to your phone in a bit."

There was silence on the phone.

Chen Jianbin asked in confusion, "Hey, Lao He, can you hear me?"

"Ah. Ah. I heard you. The signal here is a bit weak. Send me the photo, and I'll have Old Donkey check it out for you. Who's so bold as to follow the police!"

Chen Jianbin said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go back in a few days. Let's get together again when we have some time. You can also bring some to your younger brother's wife. Let's go to Tumen for a farm-style meal."

"Okay... Old Chen, I have a case here, I'm a bit busy."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll hang up now."

Chen Jianbin hung up the phone, grabbed two cans of Bull's soda, handed one to Chen Ye, and opened one for himself.

"There are still more than twenty cases at home, all won by you. You know, Old Tang organized a preliminary competition and gave out a bunch of these crappy drinks as prizes, without even giving out toilet paper or anything. Other places give out toilet paper when they hold events."

Chen Ye said, "I heard from Gong Rongrong that the auditions across the country are just a joke, and it's mostly local small brands that are failing. The 'Chinese Kung Fu' competition in Los Angeles is quite professional. Several people who won awards in the auditions didn't even sign up for the qualifying rounds in Los Angeles."

Chen Jianbin recalled: "I guess it was similar to the Wulin Feng of that time. There was a monk named Yaolong back then, and they were the ones who promoted him."

The high-speed train started moving and sped off towards Los Angeles.

……

On the other side, in the conference room of the Xincheng Municipal Party Committee.

Li Shuheng sat in the main seat with a sullen face, not saying a word.

He is the top leader of Xincheng!

Sitting below were Zhao Dong from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, He Zhichong from the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and two colleagues who had reviewed the surveillance footage.

On the table, there was a surveillance video of Chen Ye hitting a cow from across the mountain, as well as a video of him participating in the competition at the preliminary selection site.

With modern technology, it is still easy to concentrate resources to find a person.

"So, Chen Jianbin is provoking us?" Zhao Dong asked.

He Zhichong answered Chen Jianbin's call in front of the two leaders. He was smart at the time and immediately put it on speakerphone.

"No, no, I know Chen Jianbin. He probably didn't know. About half a month ago, he and I went to the director of the household registration office to ask him to get a temporary ID card for a distant relative."

Li Shuheng raised his hand: "Explain in detail!"

He Zhichong gave a brief description, then concluded: "That person is the one in the video, his nephew, and even stranger, his son, who also took a leave of absence from school around that time! In other words, his son disappeared."

This information has just been compiled. Currently, no one has proactively inquired about or disturbed anyone who has been in contact with Chen Ye; they are all under investigation.

Li Shuheng took a deep breath, took out two blood pressure pills from his pocket, popped them into his mouth, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "A supernatural event! The first supernatural event since the founding of the People's Republic of China!"

"Secretary Li, let's report this directly to the higher-ups."

"Wait! When will Huang Hongxiong be brought here?"

"The person has been apprehended by our colleagues in Biancheng and will be sent over soon."

"good!"

"Let me take another look at Huang Hongxiong's video."

He Zhichong operated the computer for a while and played a video taken by a netizen.

Huang Hongxiong punched Zhang Baiwei, sending him flying. The latter was knocked into a chair, which slid back two meters, leaving him with his head tilted to the side, spitting out saliva.

"The injured man's name is Zhang Baiwei, and he had two broken ribs. Tang Long, the owner of Longquan Gym, filed a report at the time, but ultimately the authorities did not investigate because the citizen did not file a complaint."

"Do you think this Huang Hongxiong is also a person with special abilities?"

He Zhichong frowned and said, "He looks pretty formidable. Given Huang Hongxiong's age and physique, it's unlikely he could send a strong man flying. But fortunately, he's still within the realm of physics!"

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and He Zhichong got up to open it.

Two police officers brought in a man.

He was one of the young men who was exposing Huang Hongxiong's frauds under the bridge. His name was Peng Le, and he was a spirited young man.

Peng Le was very nervous. He was lifting weights at the club when he was taken away in a police car.

The person who brought him there had an expression that said, "No comment."

Peng Le was terrified. He never dreamed he would be brought here. He tried hard to recall that just last week, he had posted some comments expressing his dissatisfaction with society online!

At this moment, the city's top official was sitting opposite him; he had seen him on TV before, and the bureau chief was also sitting next to him! He had seen him on TV before too!

Li Shuheng asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Peng Le!"

"Peng Le, why did you go to ambush Huang Hongxiong in the middle of the night?"

Huang Hongxiong?! Peng Le's eyes widened. Just who was Huang Hongxiong? How could a mayor of a city be backing him up?

"At the time, we watched his videos online and thought he was a scammer, so we went to expose him. I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Li Shuheng said, "You previously reported seeing two men in black by the river. Could they cause the river to explode?"

Peng Le nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes, I told you, but nobody believed me! My two brothers were knocked unconscious, I was terrified!"

"Please describe the situation in detail."

Peng Le stood beside the conference table, pretending to circulate his internal energy, making a pushing motion with his palm, and said as he gestured:

"He just like that, with one palm strike, the river water exploded!"

The people in the conference room listened in silence; at this moment, no one doubted the authenticity of the surveillance video!

Zhao Dong said in a deep voice, "Don't lie! This is a very serious matter."

"I swear to God, I'm not lying. You can ask Huang Hongxiong. He was so scared that he ran away with his pants down."

Li Shuheng waved his hand, "Young man, go to the next room and have some tea. Don't talk about this outside."

Peng Le mustered his courage and asked, "Does this world really have internal energy? The kind you see in martial arts movies. I don't think they're aliens. A few days ago, I saw a video of a fight in a bar street, and it was those two."

No one answered.

After the person was taken away, Li Shuheng sighed, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

"I think I can report it now."

Zhao Dong asked, "What should we do with people who have recently been in close contact with Chen Ye?"

Li Shuheng said seriously, "Everything depends on instructions from above. I think people from Kyoto will arrive soon! He Zhichong, you'll be in charge of the liaison; you're the person primarily responsible!"

"Me?" He Zhichong pointed to the tip of his nose, looking completely bewildered. Seriously? I'm the lowest-ranking official here.
