Chapter 206: Farewell

Words : 2203 Updated : Sep 23rd, 2025

After exiting the Patrol Bureau headquarters, Chen Chuan stood in front of the wide gate and thought for a moment. Since deciding to confront the Mutual Aid Society, he hadn't returned to the Company or made any phone calls. The Company wasn't far from here, so he should go check it out now. He remembered that Ren Shu and other wealthy young men had business dealings with those Power families, even relying on them to some extent. However, in Yangzhi City, anyone wanting to do business couldn't avoid those people. Ren Shu and the others were actually not highly valued by their families, so they weren't being groomed as heirs or sent to Wuyi Academy, which is why they chose to start their own Company. He wondered if they had been implicated in this matter. As he was about to leave, he saw a line of Patrol Bureau vehicles driving out of the headquarters. Suddenly, a car window opened, and someone leaned out to say hello, "Little Brother Chen?" Chen Chuan recognized Police Officer Xu Gui, whom he had met at the train station after training a few days ago, and responded, "Oh, it's Brother Xu." "Alone? Where are you headed? Want a ride, Brother Xu?" Chen Chuan said, "Brother Xu, aren't you on official business?" Xu Gui said, "It's nothing. I'm under orders to seize the assets of certain people. Those things can't escape from there anyway, so there's no rush." Chen Chuan politely declined, saying, "No, thank you, Brother Xu. I'm just going a short distance." "Alright, say hello to Captain Nian for me." Xu Gui didn't insist. Finally, he glanced at his colleagues in the car and said loudly before pulling his head back in. Soon, the armed vehicle drove away in a cloud of dust. After leaving, Chen Chuan walked a few streets and arrived near the Company building. The security personnel were delighted to see him and opened the gate, saying, "Mr. Chen, Manager Ren and the others are here." Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chen Chuan was a little surprised. "Oh, are they?" "Yes, they all are." When Chen Chuan entered the Company building, Ren Shu came out of the elevator, looking delighted. He quickly walked towards him, saying excitedly, "Mr. Chen, it's so good that you're okay." Then he added apologetically, "When we heard about what happened to you, we wanted to support you, but our families restricted us." Xiao Jiang beside him said, "Brother Chen, you don't know, when our families heard we were associated with you, they told us to immediately eliminate your name from the Company and warned us not to associate with you in the future." "Who listens to them?" "Exactly. They even threatened to cut off our funding and make us close the Company. We use our own pocket money and assets from our elders to run the Company, they think we're using their money?" "If you ask me, Brother Chen did a great job. Shao Xiaobie and his group always look down on people, it makes me sick." The others echoed in agreement, it seemed they had been feeling resentment for a long time, mainly because their family elders often compared them to Wei Jun, Jiang Wei, and Shao Xiaobie, which they were tired of. Chen Chuan looked at them, it seemed they hadn't been influenced yet, but things might change. He reminded them, "Brother Ren, the situation might change, be careful." Ren Shu said solemnly, "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Little Brother Chen." Chen Chuan knew that Ren Shu and the others might not understand the specifics of the business, but they had been exposed to it since they were young, so they should understand. Since it was almost lunchtime, he had a meal with everyone at the Company and then left, riding back to Little Aunt's house in Xiao Wei's car. From the moment he returned, the sound of Patrol Bureau patrol cars could be heard outside, and it lasted all night. When Chen Chuan turned on the radio in the morning, the news reported that certain Power families in Yangzhi City had colluded with Molan Company to seize water resources, intending to kidnap the people around Yangzhi City with toxic substances to resist the Government. After hearing this news, he was certain that the Molan Company affair should be over. He believed that after today, all the upper-class people who colluded with Molan Company would be condemned, and Yangzhi City would turn over a new leaf and usher in a new chapter. After finishing a round of boxing outside, the telephone rang in the living room. He went up and picked it up, Cheng Zitong's happy voice came through, "Little Chuan, did you hear the news? Molan Company has fallen." Chen Chuan said, "Yes, Teacher, I know. I heard it on the radio this morning." Cheng Zitong said with a smile, "School starts in a few days. I've prepared your application materials for you. As soon as school starts, you can apply for a spot to go to Central City. If there are no changes, it should be approved soon." Chen Chuan looked up and said seriously, "Thank you, Teacher." Cheng Zitong laughed heartily, "You're too polite, Little Chuan. Well, you've been too tense these past few days. Take a good rest for a few days before school starts. We'll talk more when we meet." After Chen Chuan put down the phone, he walked out of the room and stood on the steps at the door, looking up at the morning sun shining down, watching the green leaves swaying gently in the wind, feeling a rare sense of relaxation in his body and mind. He reached out his hand, watching it enter the sunlight, feeling the breeze, and then slowly clenched it. Little Aunt's voice came from the living room, "Chan'er, time to eat." "Time to eat, time to eat," the voices of his younger cousins came. Chen Chuan responded, "Okay, I'm coming." Nian Fuli's and Little Aunt's voices came from inside the room: "I have things to do at the bureau today, I have to leave early." "I know, remember, one pack of cigarettes a day, don't smoke more." "Alright, you say it every day, my ears are getting calluses." "You never remember, so I have to say it more." Chen Chuan smiled, took his hand back, and turned to walk into the room. After breakfast, Nian Fuli went to the bureau, Little Aunt also took his younger cousins out, and Chen Chuan enjoyed a rare moment of leisure. Around noon, a voice came from outside, "Is Little Chuan home?" Chen Chuan recognized the voice as the owner of the convenience store at the entrance of the alley, who was also a family member of the Patrol Bureau, and her son often helped deliver things to the house. He walked out from inside, opened the door and asked, "Aunt Qiu, what's the matter?" Aunt Qiu, a middle-aged woman in her fifties, said, "Little Chuan, I saw you come back yesterday, and I was wondering if you were here. There's a phone call for you. I asked who it was, and he said he practiced martial arts with you. I thought you were a Wuyi Academy Student, but the person didn't sound like he was from Wuyi, so I asked him again..." Chen Chuan didn't wait for her to finish, smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qiu, I know who it is." "You know? Oh, I thought so." Aunt Qiu stopped talking, feeling a bit disappointed. She walked with him towards the entrance of the alley and asked, "By the way, is your Little Aunt home today? The sweater pattern she knitted last time was really nice, I'll have to ask her to knit another one for me someday... Nian Captain... Nian Captain left earlier than usual today..." Chen Chuan humored her as she rambled on, and walked to the convenience store. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Chen Chuan, is this Little Brother Lu?" He guessed that the caller should be Lu Ke, because Yu Gang had a criminal record, he couldn't leave his Little Aunt's phone number, so he left the phone number of the convenience store at the entrance of the alley, and he had only left it once. Sure enough, Lu Ke's voice came from the other end, "Little Brother Chen, it's me... Little Brother Chen, are you free? Can you come over? Teacher wants to see you, same old place, House of Fist..." Chen Chuan suddenly remembered what Old Feng had said about the Iron Chain Gang when he came back yesterday. He didn't ask much on the phone, "Okay, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, he thanked Aunt Qiu next to him and returned to the yard. He pushed out the bicycle that he hadn't ridden and rode towards the House of Fist. Since Yu Gang joined the Iron Chain Gang long ago, he didn't want him to be involved, and he didn't contact him again. Later, he went to look for him once, but he couldn't see him, and he hasn't contacted him since then. Thinking about it, it's been almost a year. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the entrance of the House of Fist alley, got off his bike, and walked in. He saw Lu Ke sitting on an old tire, as if waiting for him. When he saw him, he immediately stood up, but was stunned after seeing Chen Chuan clearly. Chen Chuan had grown taller in the past year, and as Chen Chuan saw him and said with a smile, "Little Brother Lu, long time no see." Seeing that familiar smile, Lu Ke then walked up. He also smiled, came up and patted him on the shoulder, then his eyes dimmed, and said, "Master he..." Chen Chuan looked at the building and asked, "What's wrong with Teacher Yu?" Lu Ke pursed his lips, turned and walked into the room. Chen Chuan also followed. When he got inside, he saw Yu Gang sitting in a chair. His face was a little pale, and his once strong body looked a little thin. He only had one arm left. His legs and the other arm were gone, and there was bright red blood on the bandages. He said, "Teacher Yu, you..." Yu Gang was very calm, "It's nothing. Yesterday, I was with the Iron Chain Gang people to block the Molan Company. Since I promised others to do things, and the Iron Chain Gang also helped me solve the problem, then I should give something in return." Lu Ke said with red eyes, "Master crawled back with one hand last night." Yu Gang shook his head and said, "Compared to those who died there, I'm already much better, I still have one life left." He looked at Chen Chuan a few times, "I can see that you have learned a lot in Wuyi Academy this year, very good. I called you here today to say goodbye." Lu Ke said next to him, "Teacher is preparing to go to Central City for Implant surgery, and is preparing to leave this afternoon." Lu Ke said, "I heard from the Iron Chain Gang that a good Implant should be able to help Teacher return to a normal life, and it is not impossible to restore the original Strength." Yu Gang said, "Well, this time the Iron Chain Gang is still quite generous, giving me a lot of injury money and pension money, but there are no conditions in Yangzhi City, so I plan to go to Central City next. By the way, this is for you." He took a booklet and reached out to hand it over. Chen Chuan quickly stepped forward to take it. "I know Lu Ke taught you the throwing method, but that's just the simplest one. This booklet has the usage of force generation and force exertion, which should not be difficult for you now. This is not any profound Skills, in today's world, this kind of thing is useful and useless, let's keep it as a souvenir." Chen Chuan solemnly put it away and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yu." He also said, "If there is anything Teacher Yu needs help with here, please be sure to tell the student." Yu Gang said, "No need." Lu Ke said, "Teacher used to have a student who settled in the Lower City District of Central City. We have already called her, and she said she can contact Implant doctors, so there should be no problem." Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, Teacher Yu, what time are you leaving, I'll see you off."
