SFS Chapter 42 Why Not Fight?
Chapter 42 Why Not Fight?
"Uncle Han? What's he doing there?"
Qian Xiaoyou stopped in his tracks, looking at Han Chi in the crowd with surprise.
"They're here to protect you."
"Protect me? Then why aren't you around?"
The two slowly approached, and they heard Han Chi talking to the head constable from McDonald's.
"Officer Li, these two seem to be trying to assassinate my young master. Master Qian wants us to take them back for questioning."
"Lord Han, isn't this... inappropriate?"
Han Chi took out a few gold coins and stuffed them into Officer Li's hand.
"I'm not an adult anymore. If you'd like to give me face, please let me take him away."
"But that's not appropriate, how can I accept your money?"
"You saved Young Master Qian's life, this is Master Qian treating you brothers to tea."
"Well... thank you."
After accepting the gold coins, Officer Li waved his hand and instructed the constables to hand Meng Ting and Ding Haiming over to the Qian family's guards.
At this moment, Qian Xiaoyou also walked over angrily.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Qian Xiaoyou was about to step forward and remove the masks from the two robbers when Han Chi suddenly blocked his way.
"Uncle Han! Who are they?"
"I'm about to take them back for investigation."
"Where's Brother Meng? Why isn't he here today?"
Although Qian Xiaoyou was firmly controlled by his father, it did not mean that he was an incompetent spoiled brat.
There were too many suspicious points in what was happening before his eyes, and he could naturally see some of them.
"Meng Ting, he took the day off today, saying he was sick."
Han Chi spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Qian Xiaoyou nodded helplessly, "Alright, then I'll see what these two robbers look like, okay?"
Han Chi did not answer, but when Qian Xiaoyou took a step forward, Han Chi grabbed him again.
"Young master, the master wants you to go back immediately."
Why?
"This is the master's order."
After saying this, Han Chi gave a wink, and two guards grabbed Qian Xiaoyou and took him away.
Xiao Xuan looked at Qian Xiaoyou, who was cursing loudly, and sighed heavily. If it weren't for his appearance, things might not have gotten so tense.
But without destruction, there can be no construction; perhaps this isn't a bad thing for the father and son.
Xiao Xuan stood there awkwardly, rummaging through his pockets. In such an embarrassing situation, taking out a cigarette would make things seem a little more natural.
"Young Master Xiao, the master also invites you to his residence for a chat."
Fortunately, Han Chi spoke up at this moment, which served as a reminder to Xiao Xuan that he could continue taking on roles.
Xiao Xuan feigned anger and pointed at Meng Ting and Ding Haiming, saying:
"Senior Han, these two are accomplices of Wang Hong from the Ghost Blade Sect! Wang Hong colluded with Japanese pirates and has already been executed by McDonald's. These two are definitely involved!"
But Han Chi remained unmoved. Xiao Xuan only needed to glance at him to feel as if he were being targeted, sending chills down one's spine.
"Golden Arches?"
Han Chi retorted with a question, just then Officer Li, who had overheard their conversation, interjected:
"That's true. Two months ago, our Fuzhou branch did receive orders to go to sea to deal with the Qianlang Village's collusion with Japanese pirates. One of the culprits was Wang Hong, but..."
The constable looked at Xiao Xuan with a puzzled expression.
"Besides the islanders, there shouldn't be any survivors in the area. Who are you?"
"I was learning from the local islanders at the time and was affected."
Since this Constable Li had never heard of his name, Xiao Xuan judged that the other party was also a minor figure who could not get to the bottom of things, so he simply brushed him off with a single sentence.
If the other party nods out of consideration for face, then you will have another "official" explanation.
"That should be it, haha..."
Officer Li nodded. Actually, he wanted to discuss with Han Chi that if these two robbers were really related to the Japanese pirates, then he would have accomplished a great feat.
But now that they've already taken the money, it's not good to ask for it back. They can only take the McDonald's guys to a quiet place to split the money.
"Brothers, let's call it a day!"
As the McDonald's group left, Xiao Xuan mounted his horse and caught up with Qian Xiaoyou.
The guards who escorted Qian Xiaoyou all arrived on horseback, clearly indicating that they had come prepared in advance.
At this moment, Qian Xiaoyou had his head down, looking dejected. Only after seeing Xiao Xuan catch up with him did he say indifferently:
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao."
"Why do you say that?"
"It all started because of me, and you've been dragged into this."
Xiao Xuan wasn't sure if Qian Xiaoyou had seen through everything, but from the pawnshop to the restaurant and now, Xiao Xuan had long regarded him as a friend.
"Friends support each other; there's no question of being implicated."
Qian Xiaoyou chuckled a few times upon hearing this, and the group quietly returned to Fuzhou City.
...
After returning to the Qian residence, Qian Dafa did not meet with Qian Xiaoyou immediately, but instead wanted to speak with Xiao Xuan alone first.
Although Xiao Xuan was puzzled, he did not believe that the other party would ambush him, so he did not refuse.
He was led by Han Chi to a small building, but Han Chi had no intention of going in.
"The master is on the second floor."
Thank you.
As Xiao Xuan spoke, he untied the cloth bag from his waist.
"The usual rules?"
Han Chi chuckled, a rare occurrence for him: "Never mind, if a person is afraid of everything that can harm them, they can't live a normal life."
As he spoke, he glanced up and pushed Xiao Xuan's hand back.
Xiao Xuan entered the pavilion and went straight to the second floor, where Qian Dafa was standing in front of a portrait.
"Another portrait? Qian Dafa already has over a dozen concubines, and he's still trying to portray himself as a devoted lover?"
Xiao Xuan thought to himself, but still greeted him politely on the surface.
"Please sit down."
After the two sat down, Qian Dafa immediately said, "I actually sent those two robbers. I'm sorry."
"Why...?"
"Because I'm afraid those people will hurt my family, or use my family to hurt me!"
Qian Dafa's tone was full of regret, as if he had touched on a painful memory.
"Everything is too coincidental. You, the overseas affairs, the kill order—I have to be on guard."
"What does this have to do with you, Uncle?"
Xiao Xuan was puzzled. Could it be that Qian Dafa had "persecution complex"?
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you these things."
"It's fine if I don't listen, but what about Qian Xiaoyou? He has the right to know these things."
Qian Dafa nodded: "Indeed, you are a sincere person."
Xiao Xuan did not agree, after all, he did not think he really deserved such praise, he only treated Qian Xiaoyou with sincerity, so he treated him with the same sincerity.
"I heard you found a doctor who can cure your poison?"
"The girl said her master could cure this poison."
"Grandma Ling Snake doesn't have a good reputation in the martial arts world. If you stay with me, I can find you a better doctor."
"Thank you, Uncle Qian. Wan Qian offered a reward in the Fengwentai Monthly, but it took him several months to successfully cure the poison. I don't have much time, so I can only take the risk and try."
Upon hearing this, Qian Dafa slowly stood up, and Xiao Xuan also stood up.
"Alright, since I'm the one who apologized first, then I'll give you Lei Yun as my compensation."
"This is Uncle Qian's beloved horse. It doesn't need to be so expensive. An ordinary horse will do."
Unexpectedly, Qian Dafa pointed at Xiao Xuan and chuckled a few times, then couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you deliberately hide your talents when you are so young?"
Meng Ting and Ding Haiming are both skilled fighters. Even when they were fighting two against one, you easily defeated them. In the entire martial arts world, there are very few people who can do this at the age of twenty.
A martial arts master of your age should be arrogant, unrestrained, and do things that others cannot!
The martial arts world is a place where disputes arise; as long as you stand here, you can't avoid the word "strife."
Martial arts skills, weapons, beauties, fame and fortune, the world—what is there in the martial arts world that isn't fought for?
"Now, you won't even fight for a horse?"
