Chapter 423: Carrying a stick but no umbrella on a rainy night
But the stubbornness and pride deep in his heart made him never admit that he lost. In his opinion, if it was a fair one-on-one contest, he had every confidence that he could win the battle just now.
That battle was supposed to be a stage for him to show his skills. Each of his moves was concealed with subtle calculations and could have forced his opponent into a desperate situation. But at the critical moment when he was about to win, a group of policemen appeared like uninvited guests from the sky and abruptly interrupted the battle.
Their sharp sirens and noisy footsteps instantly broke the rhythm of the battle, forcing him to temporarily stop his attack.
He cursed the police in his heart, thinking that they were a group of rule breakers. If he hadn't been disturbed by them, victory would have been firmly in his hands.
However, the current situation does not allow him to have a direct conflict with the Public Security Bureau. After all, the Public Security Bureau has a huge force and a complex network of relationships behind it. Once he confronts it head-on, he will inevitably cause endless trouble.
Although he was stubborn, he was not reckless and knew that avoiding the situation was the wisest course of action. In his opinion, his avoidance was giving the other party face.
He thought that he could have used his superb martial arts to break through the police encirclement and continue to complete his task, but he still restrained himself. This restraint was a kind of "respect" he gave to the Public Security Bureau.

on the other side……
"Huh~" Liu Tianci let out a long breath, his face full of irritation. Originally, this should have been a peaceful and beautiful night, he could act according to his plan and enjoy the excitement and pleasure brought by the battle.
But who could have imagined that trouble would come one after another, just like waves hitting him continuously. Moreover, it was raining so hard that the big raindrops hit the ground, splashing high and soaking his clothes.
The cold rain slid down his cheeks, making him feel uncomfortable all over, and all this made him feel even worse. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, it seemed that God was against him.
He put on the hood of the cloak hanging on his back again. The cloak was his favorite piece of equipment. The black cloth looked particularly dark in the rain. With the hood on, it seemed to isolate him from the outside world. He turned around and walked into the building, his steps steady and powerful.
He suddenly remembered that his backpack was still under the building. The backpack contained a wind chime and some small items for self-defense. He couldn't leave such important things there, so he quickened his pace.
When Liu Tianci came down from the building again, he saw a busy scene outside. The police were dealing with the bodies outside in an orderly manner. Some were taking photos and some were carrying the bodies. The scene was busy and serious.
Qin Chengren was waiting for him quietly on the side. He was wearing a neat police uniform, standing tall, and looking sharply in the direction of Liu Tianci.
"9527, I need you to cooperate with the investigation...it's you." As soon as Qin Chengren saw Liu Tianci stop and look back, he was sure that he had not recognized the wrong person.
He was not unfamiliar with the code name "9527". He had long heard that this person was highly combative and mysterious, and was also well-known in the circle. Seeing him here today, Qin Chengren felt that this was a good opportunity to investigate him in depth.
"What is there to investigate? Everyone has run away. I'm still injured and I have to hurry back to get bandaged." Liu Tianci frowned and said impatiently.
He pointed at the bloodstains on his body. The rain mixed with the blood had soaked a large area of his clothes, but it was all the blood of the enemy.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Qin Chengren was looking for an excuse to investigate him, but he didn't want to waste time here as he had more important things to do.
Previously, the actions of those policemen had made him have a very bad impression of them. At that time, the people of Yuanfan Machinery Group were showing off their power and their tyrannical behavior was simply outrageous. However, those policemen who were supposed to uphold justice and ensure order were like blind people, pretending not to see it all.
They either looked around and deliberately avoided the chaotic scene, or whispered to each other and turned a blind eye to the evil deeds of the people from Yuanfan Machinery Group.
This attitude of inaction instantly made his favorability towards these police officers plummet, as if he had fallen from the top of a mountain into an abyss. The gap of several levels filled him with disappointment and resentment.
Qin Chengren, at least, was a man who stood up and spoke. In this chaotic situation, he did not choose to remain silent or escape like other policemen, but took the initiative to step forward and break the suffocating silence.
That's why Liu Tianci turned around and said something, giving him a chance to respond.
"I have special medical staff here who can help you bandage it. It's much more convenient than going to the hospital in the rain." Qin Chengren had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a firmness that could not be refused.
He raised his hand slightly and pointed to a vehicle with flashing lights not far away, which seemed to be where the medical staff he mentioned were. "Moreover, it's free, and the drugs we provide are all high-grade and very effective.
You just need to answer a few questions for me." His voice was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was describing a very ordinary matter.
Qin Chengren had a lot of questions in his mind, and he was eager to get answers from Liu Tianci. The Mawala incident had always been a big stone in his heart, and there seemed to be a huge secret behind the mysterious guy who appeared just now.
He knew that Liu Tianci might be the key person to solving this mystery, so it was impossible for him to just leave like that.
"Okay, but you have to wait for me, a friend of mine is nearby." Liu Tianci spread his hands with an indifferent expression on his face.
The big raindrops kept hitting him, but he didn't seem to care at all. "Can we go to a more comfortable place to talk? You can't let a sick person like me talk to you in the heavy rain."
There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but it also revealed a sense of matter-of-factness.
In fact, Liu Tianci knew very well what Qin Chengren wanted to ask. It was nothing more than the matter of Mawala and the guy just now. To him, this information was just some information he already had.
But he felt that it was a good deal to exchange this information for a free meal. He seemed to have seen the sumptuous food in front of him, and the various delicious dishes exuded an enticing aroma, making him lick his lips.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on his face, which was particularly eye-catching in the rain.
"Just now when I was coming here, I saw a restaurant. The restaurant looked quite unique, with antique decoration style. There were people coming and going at the door, and the business seemed to be good.
How about we find a private room there? In a quiet room, we can have a good chat and enjoy the food more comfortably. "The person who spoke looked at the other person with sparkling eyes and full of expectation.
"Hmm? That's what you said." Liu Tianci raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of cunning, as if he had already made some calculations in his mind.
Hearing this, he muttered to himself, but soon comforted himself. It just so happened that he hadn't eaten enough for dinner, and his stomach was still empty. If he could go to that restaurant and have a good meal at this time, it would be the most wonderful thing.
Those delicious dishes seem to have appeared before my eyes, such as the shiny and tender braised pork, the fragrant steamed fish, the crispy and delicious stir-fried seasonal vegetables... just thinking about them makes me salivate.
Time passed quietly as the two talked and waited. Twenty minutes later, they were already standing at the door of the restaurant. The restaurant was brightly lit and bustling. The aroma of food wafted out from inside and went straight into people's noses.
