Chapter 110: The Virtuous Old Wang
When Brother Wen spat out the words “country bumpkin,” Wang Zhixing sent him flying with lightning speed.
Brother Wen ended up hanging on a tree ten meters away.
Wang Zhixing was in the third class of Qi Refinement, a cultivator in the Combat specialization. If he had not controlled his strength, Brother Wen would have ended up as bloody most.
Wang Zhixing had shown mercy.
The other gangsters and the red-haired woman were all stunned.
What power! Is he still human?
Clang—Clang—
At this moment, the gangsters dropped their metal rods.
“Brother, we were wrong!”
“We’ll kneel to you!”
This bunch was very adaptable and quickly knelt down in front of Wang Zhixing.
Meanwhile, the red-haired woman’s face was ashen. She stood rooted to the spot, completely scared out of her wits.
A few moments of silence.
Wang Zhixing ordered, “Carry him away!”
“And don’t let me see you people again.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The group felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. They kowtowed a few times to Wang Zhixing before standing up.
“Wait!” Wang Zhixing suddenly called out.
Their hearts tightened, and they immediately broke out in cold sweat, thinking that Wang Zhixing was going to give them trouble.
Wang Zhixing took a few hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to a snitch.
“This should be enough to pay for his medical expenses.”
Wang Zhixing was an upholder of martial virtues.
This was what the Sect Master had taught him.
He said, “When you hit someone and don’t pay them, you’re acting like a hooligan. You not upholding martial virtues.”
Now that Wang Zhixing had injured someone, the money had to be paid.
The gangsters were stunned.
Could they take the money?
Wang Zhixing sternly said, “Take the money and scram!”
“…”
They really did not dare to take it.
In the end, under Wang Zhixing’s powerful coercion, the traitors still took the money.
After they left, the park was silent again.
Wang Zhixing resumed his meditation until dawn.
…
The mornings in Chen County were not very lively. There were not that many cars on the road, nor were there elderly doing their morning exercises in the park.
Wang Zhixing followed the address on the parcel. He asked around as he searched and finally found the store.
It was a small supermarket.
It was almost nine in the morning, but the supermarket was still closed.
After a night of cultivation, Wang Zhixing had calmed himself down. He waited at the breakfast shop next to the supermarket.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came to the supermarket and opened the door.
When he saw this, Wang Zhixing immediately walked over.
…
He walked into the supermarket.
“Are you the boss here?” Wang Zhixing asked.
“Yes, what’s the matter?” The supermarket owner lifted his glasses.
Wang Zhixing opened the bag on his back and took out the green box.
“Boss, was this mailed from your shop? Did you do it personally?” Wang Zhixing asked.
The supermarket owner didn’t take a closer look at the box but replied decisively, “I definitely didn’t mail this box.”
“But the address on it is your store.”
The supermarket owner looked up and said slowly, “We have parcel posting services here.
“I think this box was mailed by someone else.”
Wang Zhixing nodded in understanding and asked, “Boss, do you register the people who post parcels here?”
The boss sighed. “I don’t have that much free time. The supermarket is so busy. I can’t be bothered to manage all those parcels.
“Anyway, once the time is up, the courier company will come and take care of it themselves.”
Wang Zhixing felt a sense of great sadness.
His only clue was gone.
When he looked around, he suddenly realized that there were surveillance cameras in the store.
Wang Zhixing’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Boss, how long are the footage of the surveillance cameras in your store kept for?”
The supermarket owner was stunned, not understanding why Wang Zhixing was asking this.
He wants to check the surveillance cameras?
Is he part of the police?
The supermarket owner thought for a moment. It seemed that this person had been asking questions ever since he came in.
Maybe it really is the police.
Thus, the supermarket owner told Wang Zhixing, “We should be able to check for about ten days!”
When Wang Zhixing heard this, his eyes flashed once more.
There was a delivery number on the box.
He checked and found that it was mailed eight days ago.
Wang Zhixing immediately saw hope.
“Boss, how long does it usually take for the parcels to be delivered?”
“The courier company will be here around 4 PM to take care of them.
“So, normally, they’re mailed on the same day. Everything past that time has to wait for the next day.”
“Then, can I check the surveillance footage in your store?”
The supermarket owner thought Wang Zhixing was a police officer, so he agreed without much thought.
Wang Zhixing was extremely grateful.
As his son was a police officer, he was quite familiar with checking surveillance footage.
Wang Zhixing focused on the time period between eight and nine days ago.
Checking surveillance footage was a skill.
Wang Zhixing watched very carefully; he spent the whole morning doing this.
At noon, when the supermarket owner saw that Wang Zhixing was still checking the footage, he bought him a pack of lunch.
“Um… Sir, why don’t you eat something first!”
The supermarket owner felt that Wang Zhixing probably did not reveal his identity as a police officer at the start because of his work. He could not reveal his identity to the public.
Therefore, he did not point it out.
I’m so smart—addressing him as “Sir.”
Wang Zhixing was particularly surprised to see the supermarket owner bringing him lunch.
After yesterday’s series of events, he felt that the people here were very prejudiced against foreigners like him.
However, this supermarket owner was different. He was kind and warm.
Not only did he allow him to check the surveillance footage unconditionally, he even took the initiative to deliver lunch.
In Wang Zhixing’s heart, he marked the supermarket owner as a good person.
“Boss, sorry for the trouble,” Wang Zhixing said in embarrassment.
The supermarket owner smiled and said, “It’s what I should do. If there’s anything I can help you with, just call me.”
“Boss, you’re so kind-hearted. No wonder business is so good.”
Upon hearing this, the supermarket owner’s smile froze for a moment before he continued smiling.
This smile looked very stiff and unnatural.
From morning till now, excluding Wang Zhixing, less than ten people had entered the supermarket.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.
Wang Zhixing seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, but he did not know how to explain it. He could only turn his head naturally and continue watching the footage.
The supermarket owner laughed dryly and left.
…
“Found it!”
At around two in the afternoon, Wang Zhixing finally found the person who had mailed the parcel in the footage.
He was very excited and watched it over and over again.
The surveillance equipment of this supermarket was really good. The images captured were high-definition,and there weren’t any dropped frames. He could clearly see what the person looked like.
Wang Zhixing thought, “Although business here is slow, the boss has a high sense of security and is willing to spend money.”
With such a high-definition quality, this set of surveillance equipment should not be cheap.
A young man about 15 years of age appeared on the screen. He put down the box and left.
From the moment he entered to the moment he left, only ten seconds had passed.
Wang Zhixing carefully analyzed it. From the young man’s actions and mannerisms, he looked very natural. He probably did not know what was inside the box.
No matter what, the parcel was mailed by this young boy. He could only find more clues by finding this boy.
“Boss, do you remember this boy?” Wang Zhixing called the supermarket owner.
The supermarket owner walked over kindly and looked at the youngster on the surveillance camera.
“I don’t!” The supermarket owner shook his head. “But judging from the clothes he’s wearing, he should be a student from Wind Riding Dojo.
“You can look for him there. You should be able to find him.”
Wind Riding Dojo?
Wang Zhixing took note of the place.
