"You should take Huo Xuan'Er back; she got slightly injured earlier. Go see a doctor. I'll go find the person I'm looking for myself."

Although Huo Xuan'Er didn't want to leave Lin Beichen, since he said so, she couldn't refute it.

She looked at Lin Beichen with deep feelings, her cheeks slightly red as she nodded.

Lin Beichen then began to inquire the nearby old man about Chen Xiongwu's whereabouts.

The old men all said they didn't know him, but just then an old lady suddenly spoke up, "Are you talking about that tall man with a beard? He looks quite strange."

Lin Beichen's heart skipped a beat, although Chen Xiongwu might have changed his appearance, the old lady's description still provided him with some clues.

"That's right, that's probably him. Ma'am, do you know where he is now?"

The old lady clapped her hands and laughed, "You're asking the right person! I know where he is..."

Because my family runs a small shop, that guy often comes here to buy some things."

"I've seen him several times."

"Tell you what, I'll take you there now, show you where he lives."

The old lady was grateful for Lin Beichen's earlier assistance.

Moreover, these people usually have nothing to do, bored all day.

Lin Beichen expressed his thanks to her, then pulled out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them directly to the old lady.

The old lady was even more delighted, and immediately led Lin Beichen straight to the building where Chen Xiongwu lived.

Upon arrival, the old lady led Lin Beichen to knock on the first-floor door.

The door opened, an old man poked his head out, looking at the two of them skeptically.

"What do you want with me?"

The old man was somewhat impatient, as he was busy playing mahjong and was interrupted by these two.

The old lady said with a smile, "This is Mr. Lin Beichen."

She pointed at Lin Beichen, then said to the old man, "He wants to inquire about someone from you. You're the manager of this building, you should know about the residents here, right?"

The old lady hurriedly urged the old man.

"I don't have time for this now, don't bother me, I need to play cards."

Upon hearing this matter, the old man was obviously displeased and intended to shut the door and dismiss them.

At that moment, Lin Beichen reached out and grabbed the old man's wrist.

The old man let out a cry, he felt as if his right hand touched a scalding kettle, the pain made him shiver all over.

"Sir, I'm just asking about a situation, hope you can cooperate a bit."

Lin Beichen snorted coldly, the invisible killing aura he exuded made the old man shiver all over.

His earlier temper instantly disappeared, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, ask away, I'll tell you."

The old man looked at Lin Beichen, trembling, realizing this man was not easy to deal with, exuding a heroic aura, not someone he could easily offend.

Lin Beichen smiled slightly, it was best that the old man was willing to cooperate.

Thus, Lin Beichen calmly asked, "Is there a person named Chen Xiongwu living upstairs?"

"I need to find him now, which floor does he live on?"

Lin Beichen's every word seemed ordinary, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The old man's head felt dizzy, he quickly nodded, and said to Lin Beichen, "Yes, yes, each tenant in this building informs me in advance when renting."

"The person you mentioned, Chen Xiongwu, lives on the sixth floor, I'll take you there now."

The old man hurriedly said.

Lin Beichen nodded, gesturing for the old man to lead the way.

The three walked towards the sixth floor, the old man glanced back at Lin Beichen, tentatively asked, "Did this Chen Xiongwu offend you? I don't have much impression of him, he seemed quite silent, I thought he worked in some online job, seemed to have no social life."

Afraid that Lin Beichen was looking for trouble, the old man worried it might cause trouble.

Lin Beichen snorted coldly and said, "That's not something you should worry about."

Upon hearing Lin Beichen's words, the old man shrank his neck, knowing he had spoken too much.

As they reached the fourth floor, suddenly a young man rushed down from upstairs, colliding head-on with Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen snorted coldly and instinctively grabbed his wrist.

The young man quickly explained, "Sorry, sir, I'm in a hurry and didn't notice you."

Lin Beichen looked him over, he seemed like a typical student.

"No problem, you can go."

Seeing no abnormality, Lin Beichen let him go.

However, as they were about to reach the sixth floor, all three smelled a strong smoke scent, it seemed like someone's gas couldister had leaked.

"What's going on here?"

The old lady was the first to scream; her rich life experience immediately grasped the issue.

Lin Beichen's face changed drastically, he pushed the two aside and rushed forward.

He found the smoke was coming from the eastern house on the sixth floor.

"Is Chen Xiongwu living here?"

Lin Beichen shouted at the old man.

The old man nodded and exclaimed, "Yes, what's going on? Let me take a look."

"Damn, this house's owner is my brother, will something happen?"

The old man wanted to rush over to check.

But Lin Beichen's reaction speed far exceeded theirs, he instantly sensed a significant problem with the house.

"Are you crazy? Come back!"

Lin Beichen pulled the old man back as he pushed the old lady downstairs with his other hand.

Before the two could react, they heard a loud bang coming from upstairs.
