Chen Xue Ru couldn't believe how bold Li Wu Wei was being. Wasn't this just barging in? How could he negotiate for the courtyard like this?
The middle-aged man, surprisingly composed, asked, "What do you want? This is my ancestral home."
Chen Xue Ru was about to speak but Li Wu Wei cut her off, "Name, occupation, family relationships. You should know why we're here."
Li Wu Wei wanted to see if he could get a reaction. He wasn't afraid, even if the other guy had a weapon, because they were so close.
As he spoke, his right hand went into his pants pocket. There were two packs of cigarettes and three boxes of matches inside, making his padded pants look suspicious.
The middle-aged man noticed the man's action and asked impatiently, "Street registration, right? My name is Zhang Yun Feng. My wife passed away years ago. I'm a painter and I usually stay home and paint. I don't interact much with people."
"A painter? How do we prove it? Why don't you paint something right now, just paint the boss lady. If you can do it, I'll believe you."
Li Wu Wei stepped forward, subtly shielding Chen Xue Ru behind him. His gaze was sharp as he stared at the man named Zhang.
Chen Xue Ru was confused and whispered, "Li Wu Wei, don't forget why we're here. Why are you making him paint? Just get down to business."
She was reminding him that they were here to negotiate buying the courtyard, not to make things difficult for someone. How could you negotiate business like this?
However, those words made Zhang Yun Feng instantly decide. Suddenly, he slid to the side, his body swaying left and right no less than three times in a very short time.
Following that, Zhang Yun Feng turned back, like an idiot, crouching low, running back and forth toward the front room.
He clearly didn't know basic geometry. Didn't he know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line?
Chen Xue Ru was surprised and exclaimed, "Li Wu Wei, is he having an epileptic seizure?"
"How should I know? Don't move."
As Li Wu Wei spoke, he stepped forward, closing the distance between himself and Zhang Yun Feng in a few strides.
Just then, Zhang Yun Feng sensed something wrong. He turned his head and saw a fist the size of a pot coming at him.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound. Zhang Yun Feng's vision blurred, he fell to the ground, his eyes hazy, but not completely unconscious. He couldn't hear anything anymore.
He saw the man pull a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches from his pocket, slowly lighting a cigarette. He was talking to the beautiful boss lady.
Zhang Yun Feng cursed madly in his heart, but he couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes closed and he passed out.
"I told you to stop hitting him! We're here to negotiate! You knocked him out. How can we negotiate now?"
Chen Xue Ru was anxious. What was this all about?
Li Wu Wei blew out a smoke ring. He was a little excited after hitting the man, so he took a drag of his cigarette to calm himself down.
"Boss lady, stop shouting. This guy is strange. He wasn't having a seizure, he was dodging bullets. You should quickly get your staff to notify the street office and the police station. This guy needs to be investigated. If we can find something on him, it'll be easier to buy this courtyard."
Chen Xue Ru was stunned. "He was dodging bullets? Whatever, we should definitely investigate him. He's definitely up to something."
Chen Xue Ru turned and ran back to the shop. She had the staff call the authorities. She left one staff member to watch the shop, and took two other female staff members with her for courage, and went back to the courtyard.
She saw Li Wu Wei sitting on a stool, leisurely smoking. The resident of the courtyard was still lying motionless on the ground.
"Li Wu Wei, I'm starting to realize you're not simple. Did you train? You just took a few steps, and with one punch, you knocked him out."
Chen Xue Ru brandished a fist, but it had no power.
"Uh, I used to be a fitter in a factory. I just have a bit more strength than ordinary people, I never trained."
He wished he could train. In this era, there were definitely genuine martial arts masters, but he couldn't find them.
"You can't tell it just by looking."
Chen Xue Ru boldly squeezed Li Wu Wei's arm. He was indeed strong.
Soon, the residents' committee arrived. They were directly under the street office and held considerable power. Before they could ask questions, officials from the street office also arrived.
"Chen Xue Ru, what's going on here?"
A street office official asked.
Li Wu Wei stood up and said, "Let me explain. Chen Xue Ru and I came here to talk to this man. As we were speaking, he suddenly started having a seizure, his feet slipped, and his body swayed back and forth. Then he ran away, dodging left and right. I thought, this is a dodging bullets move. I saw it in a book. I stepped forward and knocked him out with one punch. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. He ran fast, but he ran a short distance."
Everyone heard this and thought, "Holy crap, the shortest distance is a straight line."
"You teach math?"
Someone asked subconsciously, but was immediately pulled back by someone beside them. You had to listen to the important part!
The street office official immediately took the matter seriously. He didn't move the man and waited for a while. Then the police arrived. The staff member had reported a murder, so they couldn't not take it seriously.
After the situation was explained, the police immediately checked on Zhang Yun Feng, who was lying on the ground. They then began a search.
Chen Xue Ru whispered, "Li Wu Wei, do you think they'll find anything?"
"Don't worry! What do you think? A painter who knows how to dodge bullets? And with this kind of physique?"
Li Wu Wei was almost certain this guy was an enemy spy. If he hadn't appeared, the spy would have been able to stay hidden for another two or three years before being discovered.
After a while, a police officer suddenly ran out and shouted, "Captain, we've got a big discovery. This guy is probably an enemy spy."
"Tell me, what did you find?"
The captain was speechless. He asked, then ran inside, leaving the people outside the courtyard in the dark.
"Oh my god, it's actually a spy!"
Chen Xue Ru was startled. Although she had a strong personality, she was still a woman after all.
