Chapter 13

【PS: Everyone understands, please recommend and collect!】

Wang Bing was now filled with panic; he knew that this time he had really gotten himself into a big mess.

"Bro... Brother!" Huang Mao also noticed something was wrong. He actually wanted to suggest that they just let it go and not bother these two people. However, Wang Bing kicked him to the ground and shouted, "It's all your fault, and you still don't apologize quickly!"

Su Wen smiled bitterly; it was too late to realize this now.

"Brother, you kicked me! You just said you could take revenge for me, but now you're not helping me and even making me apologize." Huang Mao roared, completely forgetting the situation around him, "I really thought you would be awesome as a police officer, but it turns out you're just a coward."

Liu Yong, seeing this, angrily said, "Arrest them, take these two idiots in."

The few people nearby immediately started to act.

Wang Bing hurriedly knelt down, "Chief, I was wrong, spare me, please spare me!"

"Take them down and investigate thoroughly." Liu Yong said with a cold face.

...

Wang Bing and Huang Mao successfully got themselves arrested. Su Wen didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He had planned to take a beating, but it turned out to be a wash. He just wanted to do his tasks in peace, but why was it so difficult?

"Xiao Huan, are you okay?" Liu Yong looked at Li Huan.

"I'm fine, I'm actually very happy today." Li Huan said, "Let me introduce you, this big brother here is my master. You didn't see it, but my master fought three Huang Maos alone, it was so cool. I'm going to practice martial arts with my master, and I will definitely become a great hero, hahaha!"

"Master?" Liu Yong finally noticed Su Wen.

"I'm not his master." Su Wen emphasized again.

"Who else if not you? I've made up my mind." Li Huan said firmly.

"May I ask who this comrade is?" Liu Yong felt it necessary to understand Su Wen's background. Anyone close to Li Huan needed to be investigated, or else if Li Huan got into trouble in Lingyin County, he would be held responsible.

"Shixiu Village, Su Wen." Su Wen thought for a moment.

"Mr. Su, thank you for saving Li Huan. He's young and a bit naive. If he offends you in the future, please bear with him." Liu Yong spoke to Su Wen in a senior's tone, which made Su Wen feel a bit flattered.

"I will, but after today, we probably won't have much interaction." Su Wen thought, as he was about to go to Jiangning for work, and leaving Lingyin County would naturally mean he would be free from Li Huan.

"That's not necessarily true." Liu Yong shook his head. He knew Li Huan's personality well; once he set his mind on something, he wouldn't give up until he achieved it. Now that he was determined to be Su Wen's disciple, he wouldn't give up easily.

Su Wen was puzzled.

"Master, come to my room and see the martial arts manuals I've collected. I really have a lot of them." Li Huan seemed excited about something.

"That's not necessary!" Su Wen shook his head.

"Master, how can it not be? I want you to understand everything about me, to see what martial arts I've practiced over the years, so you can guide me better in the future." Li Huan said seriously, "Master, let's go, no more dilly-dallying!"

Su Wen was dragged by Li Huan, feeling quite helpless as he followed.

"Chief, is Li Huan really okay like this?"

"The county magistrate doesn't care, so we can only watch. We just hope that the lady up there doesn't find out that Li Huan was beaten. Otherwise, the county magistrate will be in trouble, and we'll be in trouble too. Now that Li Huan wants to be Su Wen's disciple, it's a good thing. At least Su Wen can keep an eye on him. He's always out and sometimes doesn't come back for days, and we have to go find him. This will eventually lead to trouble. Actually, if he could leave Lingyin County, it would be best. Although we would have fewer opportunities to be close to the prince, at least our heads would be safe."

"About that Su Wen?"

"He can take on three, so he has some skills. Li Huan is just captivated by him."

"Ha, since there's nothing to do, let's go interrogate Wang Bing and that Huang Mao. If someone really investigates, we should be prepared with a story."

...

In a room on the second floor of the police station.

Su Wen wasn't sure if this was a prison, a residence, or an office.

Anyway, this was now Li Huan's private domain, small but bright.

"Master, look, these are the manuals I've collected. There are over a hundred, and some are even rare editions." Li Huan pointed excitedly to a pile of strange books on the bookshelf.

Su Wen casually picked one up, which read: Praying Mantis Fist.

He flipped through a few pages and was speechless. This was clearly a made-up book. The techniques inside didn't even connect, and the force and breathing were all over the place. This couldn't be called a manual.

"Master, look at this one. I spent 3,000 yuan to buy it from an old beggar. He said if I practiced the martial arts in it, I would be invincible." Li Huan took down a yellowed manual from the top shelf.

Su Wen was curious and took it. It read: Nine Yin Manual!

"Ha!"

Su Wen couldn't help but laugh. The name was ridiculous.

"Master, what's wrong? Is the content too profound, even for you to resist..."

"No, it's your manual that's ridiculous. This is clearly a fake, and you believe it?"

"Fake?"

"Look at the last page, is there a small line of text?"

"Really!"

"Read it out!"

"Tongzhou Literature Publishing House, June 1971."

Su Wen nodded. "This isn't a rare edition; it's mass-produced. As for the content, did you notice that the first chapter's movements are about maintaining pregnancy, and the later chapters are all about childbirth? Someone just replaced the cover with 'Nine Yin Manual.'"

"What!" Li Huan was furious.

"Alright, learn from this. Don't think about these unrealistic things. Real martial arts manuals aren't easily obtained. If practicing this could make you invincible, why would the old beggar bother begging?" Su Wen said earnestly.

"Master, I was wrong." Li Huan was embarrassed but still didn't give up. He took out a few more manuals, but Su Wen quickly realized they were all fake. In the end, there wasn't a single real one on the entire bookshelf.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Su Wen didn't want to stay with Li Huan any longer.

"Master, I'll pack up and go with you, so you can teach me martial arts more conveniently." Li Huan quickly said.

"I'm not your master, and I won't teach you martial arts." Su Wen turned to leave.

He was about to open the door when it opened, and Old Zhao, who was sweeping, rushed over. "Little master, why are you still here? The county magistrate wants you back tonight. I heard your mother came personally."

"What, my mother?" Li Huan's face changed.

"Yes, she came this morning and hasn't found you. Your father said if you weren't found, he would call the police." Old Zhao sighed, finding this family quite peculiar.

"Then what are we waiting for? I'll go now." Li Huan hurried out the door but immediately turned back, shouting, "Master, wait for me! I'll find you tomorrow, and you must train me to be a great hero."

Su Wen smiled bitterly.

He was stuck with this, and could only hope Li Huan would forget him tomorrow.

After Li Huan ran off, Su Wen patted the dust off his clothes and looked at Old Zhao. "I'll leave now. Please tidy up here."

"Sure, Mr. Su." Old Zhao replied.

Su Wen quickly left. He could only describe his day with two words.

F*cking hell!

What he didn't know was that in the police station, Liu Yong also encountered a very frustrating situation.

"Is that kid really a master? Why can't I set the bones after practicing for thirty years?" Liu Yong was furious. He saw Huang Mao's arms hanging and, out of habit, tried to set the bones, also intending to use this to threaten Huang Mao. But after several attempts, he felt it was set each time, yet Huang Mao always screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Chief, the bones should be set, but the problem might not be with the bones. Maybe something else in his arms is wrong."

"Inside the arms, tendons? Meridians? Blood vessels?"

"Chief, let's leave it to the doctors to diagnose."

"Alright, I'm curious too."

Huang Mao was in agony, now seeing Liu Yong like a devil.

As for Wang Bing, he was already bruised and crouching to the side, truly a victim of misfortune.

The door suddenly opened.

"Chief, bad news, Li Huan is back, and his mother is in Lingyin County."

Liu Yong, hearing this, looked at Huang Mao and Wang Bing with ill intent, making them shudder involuntarily.
