Chapter 661: Take Me to See Your Boss (Two-in-One Super Chapter, Please Vote for Me)

Green Olive Street

In a small cold drink shop at the entrance of the street.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged shop owner, wearing an old-fashioned floral dress and with fine wrinkles on her face, brought the iced orange juice and placed it on the table in front of He Ao.

At this moment, He Ao was sitting on the sofa behind the table, while Jia Qian was standing in front of the table, half squatting, with her knees slightly bent, slowly raising her hands, her small eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was feeling something.

"Teach the children some fitness techniques,"

He Ao said with a smile.

"This little guy has learned all this at such a young age?"

The shop owner looked at Jia Qian in surprise, then she seemed to remember something and sighed, "But in this era, it's good to learn some of this."

Then she looked back at He Ao, handed the orange juice in her hand to He Ao, and asked with some doubt, "Old man, are you going to the Green Olive District?"

"I want to find someone inside," He Ao took the orange juice from her and put it on the table, "Thank you."

"Do you have friends living here?"

The shop owner took a look at He Ao's straight suit, then looked back at the almost completely dark road outside the store, and the dilapidated buildings standing on both sides of the road with little light flashing.

He Ao and Jia Qian's dress are out of tune with this dilapidated and chaotic place.

"No, I just came here to find someone."

He Ao shook his head.

"Old sir," The shopkeeper glanced at He Ao, hesitated, and continued, "Don't blame me for being nosy. The whole city of St. John knows that the Green Olive Street is the most chaotic and poorest. To put it bluntly, it is a slum. Our store at the door is better, at least we still do business, but this does not represent the situation of this street." She paused, "The formal dress you are wearing looks expensive. After entering, you will inevitably encounter some extra troubles. From your accent, you should be from our local area. You should know that this street is the only place in the entire city of St. John where scavengers come twice a day." She turned around and looked at the dark street again, like a crawling black monster, and then turned back to look at He Ao, "If there is nothing particularly urgent, I still suggest you go back and don't go any further." "Have many people disappeared near the street recently?" He Ao asked curiously. "Many people go missing in the Green Olive Block every day,"

The shop owner glanced at He Ao and knew that He Ao was not so easy to be persuaded. She sighed, "Different places have different rules. If you really want to go in, don't be surprised if you encounter anything. It's best to withdraw some cash from the bank outside before going in.

"If a gang member asks you for protection money, just give it to him directly. They may ask for a high price, but the general amount for the first time is 120 federal coins.

"If you give this price, they will know that you know the rules and will not embarrass you. If you pass this level smoothly, then you will be safe in the block."

"Are there many people in this block who earn more than 120 federal coins a week?"

He Ao asked softly.

The shop owner didn't seem to expect He Ao to ask this question. She shook her head, "Except for gang members, there are almost none."

She sighed, "This is a slum, and most people have problems even getting enough to eat."

Speaking of this, she glanced at He Ao again, "Old man, the clothes you wear are still a little too 'gorgeous'."

Her words hinted to He Ao that this formal suit might still bring him unnecessary trouble.

"Thank you,"

He Ao nodded lightly, and did not go into the issue in depth, but asked, "How many gangs are there in this block? Do the leaders of those gangs live in this block?"

"Now the block is basically controlled by the largest gang, the Scorpion Gang,"

The shop owner thought for a while and replied, "They control more than 70% of the area in the block. The rule of 120 federal coins was set by the Scorpion Gang. I heard that although the boss of the Scorpion Gang has bought villas in other places, he still likes to live in the Green Olive Block, but I don't know the specific location of this boss."

"I know, thank you for your trouble."

He Ao nodded in thanks.

"What's the trouble?" The shopkeeper shook her head and sighed deeply. "It would be best if you could avoid going in." She put away the tray of iced orange juice and walked back to the counter of the store with a hunched back. He Ao withdrew his gaze from the shopkeeper and looked at Jia Qian who was still slowly posing in front of him. "How does it feel?" "I seem to feel a little bit," Jia Qian opened her eyes, looked at He Ao, and shook her head, "but they are not obedient." "It's okay to feel a little bit," He Ao stood up, raised his hands to the left, and made a starting gesture with his palms facing up. "Come on, maintain this feeling and follow grandpa." "Okay!" Jia Qian nodded and followed He Ao to make the same gesture. He Ao opened his spiritual consciousness and looked at his granddaughter. Subtle energy flowed in Jia Qian's small body. "Come on, raise your hands, to the right." As He Ao spoke slowly, Jia Qian's movements also followed He Ao's movements to the right. "Stop, maintain this position, and lift your arms up a little."

While she was doing the movements, He Ao was also monitoring the flow of energy in her body. When the energy flow was unstable, he would guide his granddaughter to change her posture.

Then he would ask Jia Qian to repeat this action five or six times until Jia Qian completely mastered the correct action.

As time passed by, He Ao continued to teach his granddaughter new movements. These movements were created by him after he disassembled the boxing techniques of Alifia in the main world and mastered the basic principles. Boxing.

This set of boxing techniques also contains some of Ridgit’s insights from when he first practiced physical training, as well as some of Ridgit’s fighting insights.

But in fact, this boxing method is not perfect yet, and there are still many details that cannot be integrated.

A set of holistic and logical practice methods is universal. It cannot only allow one or two people to use this method to practice, but it should allow everyone to use this method to practice, from the special to the universal.

However, He Ao's current boxing skills have not yet gone through this step from special to universal. Many of his techniques are very effective if he uses them by himself, but if it were another person, they might be just showing off.

Of course, this boxing technique cannot be spread and practiced on a large scale. When He Ao is one-on-one, it will have another ending.

Because He Ao can adjust the subtle movements of the learner through his spiritual consciousness, so that this boxing method can completely adapt to the learner's body. In fact, on the basis of this boxing method, he has customized a set for the learner. An improved version of the boxing technique.

And this kind of tailor-made version, the speed of learning progress is not comparable to the universal popular version.

It took almost just over an hour for Jia Qian to master the method of mobilizing energy in the body.

Although the amount of mobilization is not large and the process is a little slow, she has indeed taken the first step.

In such a short period of time, He Ao was not going to teach her any deeper fighting routines. Instead, he simply taught her a few moves and made her familiar with this method of mobilizing energy.

To be precise, mobilizing energy is the core of He Ao's boxing technique.

In the process of mobilizing energy, Jia Qian can also become familiar with the rules and methods of energy operation in the body as quickly as possible. This is consolidating her foundation.

When she is familiar with the body to a certain extent, lays the foundation, and then learns the routines, she will basically get twice the result with half the effort.

Next, He Ao spent almost two hours making Jia Qian completely familiar with the energy mobilization method.

At this time, the shop owner also packed up his things and prepared to close the shop.

"Business here doesn't seem to be going well?"

The two glasses of iced orange juice had been finished long ago. He Ao finally bought two ice creams. This time it was Jia Qian's choice again, one strawberry and one vanilla.

During the few hours that He Ao taught Jia Qian martial arts, there were no other guests except He Ao.

"People living in the Green Olive neighborhood rarely buy this kind of cold drink," the shop owner smiled gently, "and my shop is located at the entrance of the Green Olive neighborhood. People from nearby neighborhoods go around the street when they see it. If you keep walking, you won’t come to my place.”

"Auntie, then you can't make any money?"

Jia Qian's hands were on the bar, and her little head, which was only slightly taller than the bar, stared at the shopkeeper with some confusion.

"yes,"

The shop owner smiled and handed the two ice creams to Jia Qian, "I did some odd jobs before and could barely support this shop, but it's hard to find odd jobs recently."

"How many years have you been operating here?"

Jia Qian asked curiously.

"It's been more than a year. In fact, I already owe the rent. This store will be due tomorrow morning. This should be the last time I open the door here,"

The shop owner seemed to be caught up in some kind of memory and felt a little depressed. Then she shook her head and looked at Jia Qian, "It's so late, kid, take your grandpa home."

She still didn't give up the idea of ​​persuading He Ao to leave.

"Grandpa, we'll go back when we're done."

Jia Qian nodded. She raised the two ice creams in her hand, took a look at them, and then handed the vanilla ice cream to He Ao, "Grandpa, eat it."

"good."

He Ao took the ice cream and picked up the crutch leaning next to him.

The suitcase containing the child's ashes was stored in a locker in a high-end hotel.

"Bye bye, aunt!"

Jia Qian turned to the shop owner and made a goodbye gesture.

"Bye-Bye."

The shop owner also responded to Jia Qian.

Then He Ao turned around with Jia Qian, and the old man and the young man left the cold drink shop together and walked into the depths of the night.

The shopkeeper standing behind the counter looked at the disappearing figures of the two men and sighed softly.

She opened a locked drawer under the counter and pulled out a framed picture.

A young man in the photo frame is smiling shyly at the camera.

She put the picture frame on the bar and dug out a box of unlabeled pill bottles from the drawer.

She took a glass of water, unscrewed the medicine bottle, and poured the pills inside into her hands.

She raised her head and glanced outside the door.

After a brief hesitation, she slowly stood up and walked to the door, ready to press the closing button of the electronic rolling shutter door.

And when her finger was placed on the button, her eyes unconsciously cast their gaze into the depths of the night.

At the end of the darkness, it seemed that there were two figures, an old man and a young man, walking along the decaying road, deeper into the darkness.

Finally, she withdrew her hand from the button and poured the pills back into the bottle.

She did not cover the medicine bottle, but sat on the chair at the door, where He Ao had just sat. The open medicine bottle and the slightly rippling water glass were placed in front of her.

And her eyes were staring into the depths of the night, staring at the end of the darkness.

——

He Ao, who was walking on the dark street, raised his head and glanced at the dimly shining buildings on both sides.

There must be something wrong with Winter Street, but everyone knows there must be something wrong there, so the people behind the scenes will definitely try their best to cover up all the clues.

So going over there now, it's hard to get leads.

But the Green Olive Block is different. The missing eucalyptus involved in the Green Olive Block are ordinary missing eucalyptus and have nothing to do with the nightjar eucalyptus.

And the investigation is still very difficult.

Usually, people who want to investigate Nightjar Eucalyptus will be dissuaded by this difficult neighborhood and give priority to investigating the Winter neighborhood, which is more closely related to Nightjar Eucalyptus.

But is Green Olive Street really not related to Nightjar Eucalyptus?

You know, most of the missing people are related to raising pollution monsters, and the one who attacked Yin Xiya was a raised C-level pollution monster.

He Ao has reason to believe that the people who caused the disappearance in Green Olive Street are most likely the same people who attacked and killed Yin Xiya.

So, could this wave of people have anything to do with the Winter neighborhood or even the nightjar eucalyptus?

So the key to finding the person behind Winter Block is not in Winter Block, but in Green Olive Block.

"are you sleepy?"

The night wind blew across their cheeks, and He Ao lowered his head and glanced at Jia Qian, who was eating ice cream.

Now, it's almost early morning.

"not sleepy!"

Jia Qian shook her head, raised her little head and looked at He Ao, "Grandpa, are you sleepy?"

"Grandpa is not sleepy either."

He Ao shook his head.

After starting to practice, the energy gained from practice can effectively reduce physical fatigue.

He Ao returned his gaze to the depths of the night.

Not far in front of them, there seemed to be a small 'building' that was still shining faintly.

Doing things at night has its advantages.

There are a large number of people living in the Green Olive neighborhood. If you act during the day, it will be difficult not to involve ordinary people who have nothing to do with the incident.

Following He Ao's gaze, Jia Qian also discovered the small building.

The grandfather and grandson continued to move forward, approaching the light source.

"What do those two over there do?"

Before He and Ao reached the 'small building', a loud shout came from inside the building.

Only now did He Ao see clearly that it was not a building, but an unfolded parasol. Under the umbrella sat five gang members wearing bright clothes of different colors and looking fierce.

According to the relative distance from He Ao, the five people were seated three in the front and two in the back.

"Find someone."

He Ao's body gradually approached the big umbrella.

The five people under the umbrella also discovered He Ao.

They looked at the combination of an old man and a young man, and their originally tense bodies relaxed visibly.

"There are old men and children wandering around in the middle of the night."

A man sitting on the right hand side of the back with a hairstyle like a cockscomb looked at He Ao and laughed, "I really feel like I have such a long life."

"Old man, do you know the rules?"

The man sitting on the left hand side in front took a look at He Ao's formal suit and smiled.

"A protection fee of one hundred and twenty federal coins?"

He Ao asked hoarsely, holding the half-eaten vanilla ice cream in his hand.

"Oh, someone knowledgeable?"

The man on the left in the back row glanced at He Ao in surprise.

"What do you know?"

The man sitting directly in front of He Ao, in the middle of the front row, stood up. He looked at He Ao's formal suit, "Old man, the crazy woman at the cold drink shop at the intersection told you one hundred and twenty federal coins, right? That's not the case now. The rules have been changed, one thousand!”

He paused and glanced at Jia Qian, who was standing next to He Ao, "One thousand per person."

"You can change your rules as soon as you want."

Jia Qian took a bite of the ice cream, put one hand on her waist, and looked at the man with a milky voice.

"Hey, kid, look if there's anyone else around here?"

The man sneered and continued to look at He Ao, "Now, what we say is the rules."

The other four people beside him also stood up.

He Ao glanced at the man.

He knew this guy looked like he didn't want to let him go.

Usually, this kind of casual extortion is followed by murder and wealth.

Human greed cannot be satisfied.

Especially in this dark, unsupervised environment.

The wind in the silent night brought an icy chill, blowing through everyone's hair.

"Why did you call the cold drink shop owner 'crazy woman'?"

He Ao asked calmly.

"You old man still cares about that crazy woman. Are you afraid that the old tree has blossomed?"

The man standing in front of He Ao laughed again, and his companions around him also laughed.

Jia Qian, who was biting ice cream at the side, looked up at the man and said nothing.

"Seeing how much you care about others, I'll tell you."

The man laughed and said, "That crazy woman once had a son who disappeared while working near the block. She thought that the gang in the block killed his son, so she opened a shop at the door of the block and advised everyone like People who go into the neighborhood go back.

"If it weren't for the fact that this crazy woman had a good relationship with those idiots in the neighborhood, was well-informed, and always ran as fast as a mouse, we would have shot this annoying crazy woman and sent her to see her son." At this point, he stopped laughing and looked at the ice cream in He Ao's hand. "The ice cream in your hand hasn't melted yet. It seems that the crazy woman is still opening the store tonight. After I get rid of you, I will go and kill the crazy woman and hang her body at the entrance of the neighborhood. It must be very interesting. "In case some people always want to secretly send news to this crazy woman behind our backs." "So her son was killed by your gang?" He Ao looked at him calmly with a blank expression. "Of course..." The man looked at He Ao and sneered, "It's us~ Who told his son to be unlucky, wandering around the neighborhood, and being alone. "

As he spoke, he raised his head and walked towards He Ao step by step, "Of course, we also obey the boss's orders. Our boss likes people who are alone, such as you, old man."

He blinked and pulled out a fine steel dagger from his waist, "We have talked so much with you, we should pay you one thousand yuan each for our hard work, right?"

"You charge for chatting, so you have a part-time job in the nightclub?

He Ao watched them calmly, leaning on a cane. After using his other hand to signal Jia Xi to cover her ears, he continued, "Are you guys going out to perform as well?"

The man's face changed, he raised the dagger in his hand, and spun a knife, "Old man, some people used to be very good at talking, but since he lost his tongue, he can't speak anymore. I'll give you one last chance, hand over all your money, otherwise..."

He glanced at Jia Xi beside He Ao, "Your little friend looks about the right age."

He Ao's calm face sank for the first time. He stared at the man and said in a hoarse voice, "Usually I don't let children play with uncles who perform in nightclubs."

"Old man, you're looking for death."

The man rushed forward and stabbed He Ao's neck with a knife.

Just at this moment, Jia Xi on the side loosened her hand covering her ears, she grabbed He Ao's right hand holding the cane with one hand, and then used it as support, leaped up, propped up her whole body horizontally with one arm, and kicked the man who rushed over in the stomach.

The man didn't react for a moment and was kicked out directly. His body hit the center pole of the umbrella and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The dagger in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Old man, you are still a good fighter,"

The man who spat out blood watched Jia Xi loosen her hand and fell back to the ground from He Ao's crutches. He grinned, "But times have changed!"

At this moment, the other four people suddenly took out pistols from their pockets.

They didn't shoot before to prevent He Ao's formal clothes from being damaged. After all, it was very likely that it would soon be "their things", but now they couldn't care so much.

While the four people raised their guns, He Ao took a step forward and disappeared suddenly.

His crutches hooked the wrist of the gang member on the far left, stuck his arm, and swung it violently, throwing the gang member out directly and hitting the other two gang members next to him.

The three of them flew out together and hit the wall in the corner.

At the same time, He Ao raised his cane and looked at the last person who was still standing and ready to shoot at him.

Bang——

The cane with wood grain was like an illusory shadow across the hazy light, hitting the man's neck.

Ka——

Accompanied by an extremely slight sound, the man's cervical vertebra was directly shattered by this powerful force, his body softened, and he collapsed to the ground.

He Ao looked at the man who vomited blood with a calm look,

"Times have not changed."

At the same time, he stepped on the dagger on the ground with his toes and suddenly exerted force.

The sharp dagger crossed the night and shot out with a sharp sound.

And at this moment, behind He Ao, the gang member who had just been hooked by He Ao's wrist and thrown out, knocking away two companions, but because of the two companions as a meat cushion, the relatively minor injuries sat up from the ground.

He picked up the pistol on the ground and pointed it at He Ao. At this moment, the dagger that cut through the darkness arrived in front of him, pierced his throat accurately, and dragged his body backwards, nailing his body to the wall behind him.

The wooden crutches passed through He Ao's palm under gravity, and finally fell to the ground, and He Ao held it in his hand to support his body.

He stared at the man vomiting blood with a somewhat turbid gaze, his face as calm as ever,

"Take me to see your boss."
