Chapter 1779 - 319: Part 2

Lin Shuyou instinctively took a step forward, trying to intervene.

"Bang!"

Tan Yunlong was quicker, delivering a flying kick that knocked the man to the ground, then pressing his knee forcefully downward as he pulled out handcuffs to restrain the suspect.

"Hoo..."

After subduing the suspect, Tan Yunlong finally took a moment to glance at his own arm, which had been cut by the dagger.

When he wanted to look up again to find the two individuals, he discovered that both the person and the wheelchair had disappeared.

"So, was that guy the criminal Uncle Tan has been searching for?"

"Yeah."

"You knew he was suspicious, so why didn't you tell me earlier? I could've taken him down in the shop."

"Was it your job?"

"Travel the Jianghu, uphold justice..."

"Was it your waterway?"

"Ah... oh, right. You knew Uncle Tan was nearby?"

"I didn't know."

"Then you..."

"Don't say, Li's theory is quite interesting, the more you think about it, the more flavorful it becomes."

Back in front of the building they first checked into, Tan Wenbin finished a phone call, holding a large mobile phone.

Seeing Lin Shuyou pushing Zhao Yi back, Tan Wenbin smiled and asked, "Out sightseeing first thing in the morning?"

Zhao Yi: "Got hungry, went out for breakfast."

Tan Wenbin looked at the building behind and then at the two in front: "Breakfast went smoothly?"

Zhao Yi: "It went quite smoothly, even helped the police identify a fugitive."

Tan Wenbin pointed at the large mobile phone: "The police called me and paged me, saying he got stabbed in the chest during the arrest and asked me to visit him at the hospital."

Zhao Yi: "The arm got scraped with a knife, it's a large cut, but not deep."

Tan Wenbin: "I know, I heard from my father's call."

Zhao Yi: "Perhaps, the longing for his son is a kind of knife too."

Tan Wenbin: "He's not missing me, he wants me to go for questioning. Sigh, first thing in the morning, I have to go visit, reinforcing the bond between police and civilians as a conclusion."

Zhao Yi: "Working hard, deputy team leader."

Tan Wenbin: "It's the Outer Team that's working hard, still able to repair the canal in this situation."

Zhao Yi: "It's expected."

Tan Wenbin: "Alright, I'll head out then."

Zhao Yi: "The key to the jeep is by the tire."

"Okay."

Tan Wenbin drove away.

At this time, the door on the third floor opened, and Li Zhiyuan stepped out onto the balcony. The young man's routine was consistently stable.

"Li, the weather's nice today, shall I take you out to see the sights?"

Li Zhiyuan nodded and came down.

Run Sheng didn't come out because the Liang Sisters were still lying unconscious inside the building, needing someone to watch over them.

Tan Wenbin had taken the car, and driving the big one wasn't suitable, so they opted to walk.

Walking slowly along the riverside, the footsteps seemed a bit loud, gradually waking the city from its slumber.

Zhao Yi briefly recounted the morning's events.

"Li, you haven't had breakfast yet, want to go grab a bite over there?"

"I had some cookies after waking up."

"On a trip, eating cookies, really spoiling your stomach."

Li Zhiyuan didn't argue; instead, he focused more on the beautiful smoky scenery over the river before him.

The path had many mottled walls and old-style promotional frames, with poetry written on them, giving a feeling of traveling with ancient companions as they walked and read, losing track of time, obscuring the present.

As they emerged from this mental realm, a tall tower could be seen ahead.

"Is this the Jiang Locking Tower?"

"Yes, let me take you to visit it."

Unluckily, the tower was undergoing repairs, and entry was prohibited.

After a brief inquiry, they learned that the tower suddenly showed signs of wobbling and had multiple structural damages since the day before.

Lin Shuyou: "Could it have something to do with us?"

Zhao Yi replied, "What do you think?"

Though they couldn't enter the tower, the square below was still bustling.

Many small vendors had set up stalls early, mostly selling souvenirs and snacks.

Li Zhiyuan walked to the railing; the morning wind blowing over him felt pleasant. Soon enough, as the sun rose, this comfort would be gone.

Zhao Yi: "The city has quite a few cultural sights, some old temples and Taoist temples worth visiting. I'll take you to see them today.

Once we're done with the cultural sights, I'll take you up Lushan to see the waterfalls and the view from the terrace at my new home."

Li Zhiyuan: "How long will you deal with the matters of your old home?"

Zhao Yi: "I'm handling it slowly since I can't personally intervene."

Li Zhiyuan: "Let my people help you."

Zhao Yi: "Thank you very much, but you don't use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken."

Li's crew excels in ways other than managing affairs; they're more adept at erasing identities.

Zhao Yi can't use and dares not use them.

"Here, Ah You, here's some money. Go and find something fun or tasty, help yourself."

Zhao Yi handed money to Lin Shuyou.

"I have money." Lin Shuyou didn't take it but looked at Brother Xiao Yuan, determined to stay close and protect him here.

Li Zhiyuan: "Go ahead, have fun. You won't be far, it's okay."

"Alright, Brother Xiao Yuan."

Lin Shuyou went out to explore.

As a martial artist, still young, even though he had a substantial breakfast, he still had an appetite.

Zhao Yi looked at Li Zhiyuan: "Do you want to learn my shadow multiplication technique?"

"I can't learn it."

"Even if you don't have the Life and Death Door seam, or the soul-attachment trait Su Luo left behind, I believe with your intelligence, you'll figure out a replacement method."

"Learning it has no purpose; I'm not interested in disassembling myself for fun."

"Oh, I forgot, you don't practice martial arts, it's indeed inconvenient to dismantle, once disassembled, you're gone."

As he spoke, Zhao Yi took out some makeup and started touching up his appearance like a woman.
