"Boom!"

The sixth floor exploded.

The explosion sound came from Chen Xiongwu's residence.

The old man screamed miserably, starting to curse: "What the hell is this bastard doing!"

"Quick, get downstairs, there's a fire!"

Lin Beichen snorted coldly, realizing it must be a gas canister explosion, and soon the room on the sixth floor was engulfed in flames.

Lin Beichen pulled two people swiftly from the sixth floor.

At this point, many people rushed out from the stairway, bewildered, asking each other what was going on.

"What exactly happened?"

"Stop standing around, the sixth floor's gas canister exploded, it's on fire now!"

Lin Beichen's voice was loud and strong, soon everyone in the building heard his shout.

"Ah, really? Then we better run!"

"Who is so senseless to do such a thing!"

The residents were startled, frantically fleeing, in life or death moments, whoever runs faster has a chance to survive.

Lin Beichen led the old man and old woman, escaping at the first instance.

But he also saw the flames raging above, flickering.

Lin Beichen sighed deeply, knowing either someone took advantage here, or Chen Xiongwu did it deliberately.

At this point, the old man hastily took out a phone, quickly called the police, summoned the fire brigade and law enforcement team.

Lin Beichen looked at the two of them, pondering, then took out two hundred yuan.

"Here's some money for you, though today's task wasn't accomplished, you both worked hard and almost faced danger."

Lin Beichen said to them.

He knew the clues broke this time, wanting to find Chen Xiongwu later would be much harder.

And Chen Xiongwu surely knows he's being searched for.

The old woman gratefully accepted the money, consistently praising Lin Beichen as a great hero.

The old man was a bit excited and somewhat ashamed, as he scolded Lin Beichen earlier.

Unexpectedly, in life and death moments, Lin Beichen didn't just care for himself but brought them out too.

The old man gratefully looked at Lin Beichen, saying: "Are you looking for Chen Xiongwu? I know some things about him, would you like me to tell you?"

The old man hurriedly said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen's face lit up.

"There is actually useful information, that's quite an unexpected joy."

Thus, Lin Beichen quickly inquired.

"Tell me everything you know about Chen Xiongwu."

"I have a deep connection with this person, I must find him."

Lin Beichen said loudly.

This is why he came here, if he returns empty-handed, then all these days of effort would be wasted.

The old man quickly nodded and began to recall.

Soon after, he thought of an important clue.

"Chen Xiongwu, because I opened a small shop downstairs, likes to roam around."

"I've seen him several times, he and a man in a black trench coat and sunglasses are very close, seem like good friends."

"They often chat downstairs, as to what they talk about, I didn't listen closely before, and I don't quite understand the dialect they're speaking."

"Dialect?"

Lin Beichen frowned, realizing this was a crucial clue.

"Where is this dialect from? Can you identify it?"

"Of course I can recognize the dialect, but he's not from here, he's from a city called Xiushui, five hundred kilometers away from here."

The people of Xiushui are quite distinctive, not from the same ethnic group as us previously.

"So, their dialect is entirely different from ours." The old man sighed deeply, then said to Lin Beichen.

"I lived there for half a year, could understand generally, but the specifics still baffle me."

"Xiushui, hmm... looks like I need to make a trip to Xiushui." Lin Beichen murmured, "Or perhaps there's a connection over there as well."

To find Chen Xiongwu, Lin Beichen had been searching for quite some time.

Although it may be time-consuming, it's worth it.

Instinctively, he slipped his hand into his pocket.

Immediately, his face changed.

Someone managed to slip a note into his pocket without him noticing!

"When did this happen?" Lin Beichen's heart skipped, then realized.

Must be when that young guy bumped into him earlier coming downstairs and took the chance to slip the note in.

"That guy has remarkable skills, so agile." Lin Beichen pondered, "Or maybe all my focus was on meeting Chen Xiongwu, not paying much attention."

He took out the note, glanced at the contents, his fingers trembling involuntarily.

The note clearly read: "Lin Beichen, I know you're looking for me. Right now I don't have time to meet you, three months later let's meet in Xiushui, catch up then."

Should be left by Chen Xiongwu or his friend.

"Ah, I see, he's purposely luring me to Xiushui."

Lin Beichen's insight flickered, "Looks like there's a good show to witness there."

He kept the note, said to the old man: "Thank you for telling me this information, I'll visit again if there's a chance."

After saying, Lin Beichen took his leave.

He planned to first talk with his friends about what to do next.

The old man and old woman solemnly sent him off repeatedly.

Lin Beichen initially wanted to get a taxi, but at that moment his phone rang.

Upon answering, he heard Huo Xuan'Er's voice: "Mr. Lin Beichen, how's your matter been going?"

Huo Xuan'Er asked with concern.

Previously, Lin Beichen had Huo Sizun send him to the hospital, now perhaps the doctor had given him some preliminary treatment.

Whenever she had free time, she attended to Lin Beichen's affairs.

"Still not settled, a bunch of troublesome stuff." Lin Beichen said with some melancholy.

"What's to be done? Is the impact big? Should I come help you?" Huo Xuan'Er said warmly, "My godfather initially arranged for me to assist you, now you're out there struggling alone while I'm still in the hospital, how is that right?"

"You can't help with this." Lin Beichen furrowed his brow, recalling Huo Xuan'Er's previous attitude towards him, feeling touched.

Thus, he blurted out: "How's your health now? Are you okay? I don't have much going on, should I come see you?"

"Ah? This... doesn't seem proper." Huo Xuan'Er said shyly, thinking to decline. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

But Lin Beichen didn't have time for such courtship games with her, immediately hung up the phone. He decided to visit Huo Xuan'Er first, then consider what to do next.

He hailed a taxi, soon arriving at People's Hospital entrance.

Just as he entered the hospital doors, a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache came forward.

"Are you Mr. Lin Beichen?" The middle-aged man looked at him respectfully.

Lin Beichen furrowed his brow, asked: "Who are you? What do you want with me?" He was somewhat impatient, with many things to handle, not wanting to be disturbed by irrelevant people.

The middle-aged man hastily explained: "I am working for Mr. Huo Sizun. Right now Mr. Huo Sizun has some family business to attend to, before he left he instructed me to wait here for you. If you're here to visit Ms. Huo Xuan'Er at the hospital, let me accompany you. Whatever you need to handle in this city, whether financially or materially, tell me, I am now your housekeeper."

Lin Beichen shook his head, directly refused: "I don't need it. Go tell Huo Sizun, I don't need him to do anything for me. I will soon leave here, as long as he is willing to resolve previous matters financially, that's fine."

Over the years countless local big shots wanted to connect with Lin Beichen, and amidst them, Huo Sizun was rather insignificant. So Lin Beichen straight away told his subordinate to leave.

Mustache felt a bit awkward from Lin Beichen's words, wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Beichen's expression, swallowed his words.

"I understand, maybe Mr. Huo Sizun didn't do things right.
