Cheng Zitong was very happy to hear Chen Chuan say this. He said, "That's right, that's why I said, your student is a natural at intuitive understanding!" Chen Chuan smiled and continued to look at the Data in his hand. Cheng Zitong seemed a little thirsty at this moment, picked up the water on the table and took a sip, and then pointed to the Data and said, "The Commission's requirement is to capture a Well Child, the reward is relatively high, no one is competing for it, and it is not dangerous. While there is still time, you can use this to try it out first." Chen Chuan thought, "It seems that there is more than one of these things, and I don't know if it is really the legendary thing, but I will know when I see it." Indeed, he was full of strong interest in this kind of thing. Although this matter can only be done at night, he needs to go to the scene to take a look during the day. After all, this Data is from a few years ago, and it is difficult to say whether it is still the same now, and he needs to confirm it himself. Because tomorrow is Holiday, after making the decision, he spent the night in the dormitory considering what to prepare and the specific plan, and trained a little. When the time was almost up, he went to bed. The next day, he first went back to Little aunt's house, borrowed a Nian Fuli's watch from Little aunt , took the bicycle he had left here, bought some tools outside, and rode all the way north. He rode for about forty-five minutes and arrived at the old city area in the north of the city. In fact, he was no stranger to this place, because the house where his predecessor's parents lived in the suburbs was further north from here, and that was where his predecessor lost his life. Because he didn't know what caused his predecessor's death, he never went there again to avoid unnecessary danger. Many of the houses in this area are old, some are more than sixty years old, and existed before the establishment of the Da Shun Republic. They are almost a hundred years old. In fact, this area was the old Yang Zhi Town before. After the Great Reclamation, the new Yangzhi City was established as a material transit center. The area from the northwest of Yangzhi City to the suburbs, including the villages and towns in the north such as Zhang Mountain, are the territory of the Iron Chain Gang, while the sphere of influence of the Bloodstain Gang is mostly in the prosperous areas of the city. The area north of the city belongs to the middle zone, where dozens of gangs of all sizes are entrenched. The people here are also more conservative and out of step with the people in other urban areas. Considering the complicated situation here, and that he would have to stay until night today, he brought the Patrol Bureau satchel. In this kind of place, the identity of a Wuyi Academy Student may not be as useful as having a relationship with the Patrol Bureau. He followed the map, comparing the landmarks and the corresponding dates all the way, and successfully found the well that the Well Child might have passed by last night, but when he arrived here, he found that it was already a dry well. In this case, because the Well Child only shows up in old wells with water, it is impossible for it to appear here. Then it may have appeared in another well nearby last night, so all the locations have to be moved back, so he left here by bike and decided to go to the next old well to look for it. But not long after he left, three or four gang members walked out of the house. A younger member asked, "Brother Tian , could this kid be sent by the Patrol Bureau?" Brother Tian said unhappily, "He has such a big satchel on him, do you think I didn't see it?" "Then what should we do? The Patrol Bureau's greyhounds have very sensitive noses, tonight's transaction..." Brother Tian said impatiently, "What else can we do? We've already agreed, there's no way to cancel it. We can only change the place. Tell them to try to do it earlier, to avoid complications. Also, call more brothers, so we can deal with anything that happens." "Okay, Brother Tian ." Chen Chuan went to look for it further back. Fortunately, according to the map, this well was very close to the previous one. Sure enough, he found another one after only three hundred meters, and it was still usable. After confirming this place, the next well may be where the Well Child will appear tonight. So he rode east for about half a mile and found a well with a relatively large well enclosure. This is a large open space with traces of washing all year round. It is surrounded by residential houses and two small alleys for access. It should be shared by many families. A pulley is installed on the well, with a bucket tied to it, which seems to be used frequently, which makes it convenient for him to fetch water. After looking at the terrain and thinking about it, he decided to try it once tonight first. If it doesn't work, he can only find a way tomorrow. After making up his mind, he left here by bike and found a nearby martial arts gym, where he exercised and killed time. Here at night, the most troublesome thing is the various gangs. Most shops will close early, only the martial arts gym will continue to operate and hold some Arena tournaments that gang members will participate in overtly and covertly, which is enough for him to stay until the right time. He stayed here until about 8:30 in the evening. When he saw that the time was almost up, he left the gym. As soon as he got outside, the noisy atmosphere in the gym disappeared. The streets were quiet, with only the branches with remaining leaves hanging on both sides of the street stretching out horizontally, swaying in the wind. The street lights below were still on, but there were hardly any pedestrians. He straightened his hat, took his bicycle, and rode to the location of the well. Five or six minutes later, he approached the alley where the well was located. There was only a lonely street lamp nearby, but at this time, he suddenly saw a man walking towards here from across the street. This man looked strong, wearing a mask and a baseball cap. He was walking very fast, but when he saw him coming from across the street, and seemed to notice his satchel, he paused slightly, pressed his hat down again, and hurried towards another fork in the road. Chen Chuan could tell from his footsteps and figure that this person was trained. He might be a gang member, but that had nothing to do with him. He got off his bike and pushed it into the alley. Because the light inside was not very bright, he took out a flashlight to light the way. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But he slowed down as he walked in, because he had already seen it. At the entrance of the open space around the well in the alley, there were seven or eight fierce-looking strong men standing, each with a cigarette in their mouth, holding sticks and daggers, and some were shining flashlights directly at him. He also squinted slightly. "Brother Tian , this is the kid from the daytime!" Brother Tian said angrily, "Kid, I knew you were trouble during the day. I hid here, but I still can't avoid you. I didn't want to do anything, but who told you to be so persistent? Blame your bad luck!" Chen Chuan sighed softly and said, "It's hard to say whose luck is bad." Brother Tian roared, "Go get him!" Chen Chuan gently pushed the bicycle to the side of the wall, took off his hat, threw it into the bicycle basket, and took the initiative to walk forward quickly, moving his shoulders and wrists as he walked. A stick struck him from the opposite side. He tilted his head slightly to the side, and supported the other person's Chest with his palm. Without seeing him exert any effort, the man flew backwards and knocked down several people behind him. At this time, he also walked out of the alley. A person hiding next to him stabbed him in the waist with a dagger. Chen Chuan just turned around and stepped on his shin. With a snap, the man fell to the ground screaming and rolling with his twisted leg. Another person behind him smashed down with a stick. He turned around and raised his hand, skillfully grabbed the stick, and pressed it down, hitting the person's Chest. The wooden stick snapped with a sound, and the man covered his Chest and fell to the ground, his face full of pain, but he couldn't make a sound. The remaining gang members all stopped and became cowering. Just kidding, this looks like a Martial Combat expert at a glance, are they going up to be abused? Seeing that no one dared to move, Brother Tian was also in a dilemma. Finally, he gritted his teeth, raised the machete in his hand, and rushed up to chop Chen Chuan's head. But before his knife fell, he only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and then he didn't know anything. And the gang members only saw their boss rush up and be kicked in the head by Chen Chuan . The whole person flew out horizontally and rolled on the ground as if he had lost his breath. All of them didn't dare to stay any longer. They threw away the things in their hands, ignored their boss, and ran out of an alley. Chen Chuan didn't care about them. He had already wasted a lot of time and couldn't delay any longer. He walked to the side of the well, took the crank handle and turned it, but when he turned it, he found that the feel was wrong. It seemed that the weight below was a bit light. After thinking about it, he continued to shake it up. When the bucket reached the top, he found that it was filled with several sealed plastic bags. When he touched it, it seemed to be boxes. He thought about it, are these... all drugs? ...... ......
