419: Section 419
Lin Yi walked forward with a smile: "Big Brother Chu!"
"How many good things did you buy, kid? Good heavens, I saw you eating those snacks; you must be full, right?" Chu Zhengxiong said with a smile.
Lin Yi smiled: "Since I'm already here, how could I not eat my fill? But this still isn't quite enough... *hiccup*!"
"You're like this already, and it's still not enough? If you eat any more, you'll get indigestion!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then Chu Zhengxiong glanced at the others.
"Is everyone here? Who hasn't returned yet?"
"Captain Chu, there's still Cao Gang and Chen Shuang and the others..."
"They returned a long time ago; they're already sitting in the car!"
"Oh, then that's everyone; we're all here!" Cui Ya nodded with a smile.
Chu Zhengxiong looked at them.
"Today is the day for our Monster Hunting Fifth Squad to meet up!"
"I won't be assigning you any tasks; just consider this a team-building outing!"
"However, starting tomorrow, we will truly enter work mode!"
"Alright, everyone get in the cars. Cui Ya, Xia Shiyu, Old Mo will take you back to school!"
"Xiao Yi, Zhaoxue, shall the three of us hail a taxi back?"
Chu Zhengxiong said with a smile.
Neither Lin Yi nor Qin Zhaoxue had any objections.
The three walked toward the roadside, while Cui Ya and Xia Shiyu got into the jeep.
The prosperity and bustle of the Night Market were by no means comparable to the Old District.
There was absolutely no comparison.
Even though it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
The streets were still bustling, filled with an endless stream of traffic.
They waited on the roadside for a long time but couldn't hail a taxi; every taxi that passed by already had passengers.
"Damn it, it's still more convenient to drive yourself; it's so hard to hail a taxi here!"
After waiting for over ten minutes, Chu Zhengxiong had lost his patience.
The main issue was that while there were many taxis, none of them were empty.
The feeling of waiting here idly was very trying on one's patience.
Just as Lin Yi wanted to say a few words to appease Chu Zhengxiong.
A taxi from the opposite lane quickly made a U-turn and stopped in front of them.
"Where to?"
"Xingwu University!"
"Alright, get in!"
The driver nodded with a smile.
Chu Zhengxiong, Lin Yi, and Qin Zhaoxue got into the car one after another.
"I saw you guys just now, but I had passengers, so I didn't stop!"
"When I came back, I saw you were still standing here, so I hurried over!"
After the car started, the driver was very talkative.
He smiled and started chatting with Chu Zhengxiong, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Chu Zhengxiong nodded: "Yes, we've been waiting here for twenty minutes, and there wasn't a single empty car!"
The driver laughed: "This is the Night Market, it's like this every day. It's too hard to hail a car here. In our taxi business, we don't go anywhere else at night; we just come to the Night Market to pick up passengers. Once we arrive, we can leave immediately. It's a trip every few minutes, but it's tiring!"
"By the way, are you all students of Xingwu University? You don't look like one, do you?"
Seeing that Chu Zhengxiong didn't respond, the driver asked with a smile again.
He just took the opportunity to size up Chu Zhengxiong.
With that mature appearance and a rugged beard.
No one would doubt it if someone said he was Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue's father.
Chu Zhengxiong looked back at the driver and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Do I not look like a university student?"
"Ah? You look like one, quite like one... Practicing martial arts is tough, right? It consumes your energy and spirit, and being exposed to the wind and sun all day, after a while, it's really easy to become... *cough, cough, cough*, mature!"
The driver was stuttering a bit.
He was mainly afraid of offending Chu Zhengxiong.
As a result, Chu Zhengxiong couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Master, how could I be a student? Where would you find a student as old as us?"
"See that kid in the back? He's my younger brother. I brought him out to stroll around the Night Market and have some fun today!"
"The girl next to him is his partner, my sister-in-law. What do you think, aren't they a good match?"
After Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking.
Lin Yi, sitting in the back, changed his expression completely, and Qin Zhaoxue's face turned bright red in an instant.
What on earth is he talking about?
How did they suddenly become partners and sister-in-law?
The driver hurriedly glanced at the rearview mirror, and the moment he saw Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue's faces.
He nodded earnestly: "You don't say, the two of them really do have the look of a couple. Look at their eyebrows and eyes, and even their mouths, how similar they are!"
"As the old saying goes, two people with the look of a couple are destined by fate, a connection cultivated from a past life!"
"Brother, your younger brother is lucky; your sister-in-law is beautiful too!"
"Hahaha..."
Chu Zhengxiong couldn't help but look up and laugh loudly.
Qin Zhaoxue, blushing, turned her head to look out the car window.
She didn't want to appear in the rearview mirror anymore.
Lin Yi called out Xiao Qi...
The atmosphere in the car immediately polarized.
Chu Zhengxiong and the driver in the front were chatting heatedly.
Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue in the back were extremely awkward.
Fortunately, the car drove very fast.
After twenty-something minutes, they arrived at Xingwu University.
"Big Brother Chu, we're heading back now!"
Before getting out of the car, Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue said to Chu Zhengxiong with a smile.
"Go on, don't run around outside if it's nothing, and call me if you need anything!"
"Okay!"
Lin Yi closed the car door, and he and Qin Zhaoxue walked back toward the school.
Chu Zhengxiong didn't get out; he remained in the passenger seat.
The driver looked at him: "Brother, where are you going? Shall I take you?"
"No need, my car is right in front!"
Chu Zhengxiong pointed to a jeep opposite.
The driver nodded: "Alright, then I'll be going. It's fifty-three yuan in total!"
He meant this as a hint for Chu Zhengxiong to pay quickly and get out.
Chu Zhengxiong took out his wallet and handed him a Baiyuan bill.
Just as the driver was giving Chu Zhengxiong his change.
Chu Zhengxiong smiled: "You're from the Martial Suppression Bureau, right?"
"Huh? What Martial Suppression Bureau?" the driver replied instinctively.
"You drive a taxi and don't know what the Martial Suppression Bureau is?" Chu Zhengxiong's eyes became even more firm in his conjecture.
How could anyone in the New District not have heard of the Monster Hunting Bureau or the Martial Suppression Bureau?
Moreover, he was a taxi driver, so it was even more impossible for him not to have heard of these two departments.
The fact that he could immediately act like he didn't know.
This was a subconscious act, with the purpose of denying the claim.
As a result, this was precisely what made his flaw more obvious.
After a long while, the driver smiled.
"When did you start guessing my identity?"
Chu Zhengxiong sized him up: "When I was chatting with you!"
*Click*—
He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.
"I'm a bit curious, why is your Martial Suppression Bureau always revolving around Lin Yi?"
"What exactly is the point of sending people to follow him in the shadows?"
Chu Zhengxiong exhaled a puff of smoke and looked back at the driver.
The driver smiled and shook his head: "This is an order from the leaders above; how could we, the grassroots, ask about that?"
