”Umm…” Aunt Li was speechless. She was thinking to herself that Master Zhang had to be joking.

”Okay, I have to go.” Zhang Zian stood up, ”Oh, how about your new restaurant? He looked at the fruit store which was closed.

”Everything is fine,” Aunt Li smiled happily, ”We are about to open. Please come!”

Zhang Zian waved them goodbye. Aunt Li's husband waved back although he was extremely busy.

Zhang Zian stopped a taxi by the side of the road.

”Hey, may I take my cat in your car?” Zhang Zian pointed at Fina.

The driver looked in the rear mirror, ”As long as it stays clean and does not pee or poop in my car. If it dirties my car, you have to clean it up.”

”That's not a problem at all.”

Zhang Zian opened the door to the backseat and had Fina and Old Time Tea hop in. He then closed the door and sat at the passenger seat.

The driver was surprised. He asked carefully, ”You don't have to watch it in the back seat?”

”Nope. If it dirties your car, I will be accountable for it,” Zhang Zian assured.

The driver didn't say much, ”Where are you going?”

”Yuanhua Building.”

It was the weekend. Many people were still catching up some sleep. Not many cars were on the road at the moment. The taxi arrived at Yuanhua Building in no time. Zhang Zian paid, opened the back seat door and let Fina and Old Time Tea out. The driver also got out of the car and checked whether the back seat was clean.

”Grandpa Tea, what do you think?” Zhang Zian asked Old Time Tea.

It was the first time Old Time Tea rode in a vehicle. It was a new and fun experience for it. It replied, ”It was good. just a little smelly.”

”That was the smell of gasoline. The taxi was old so it smells worse. The newer ones are much better,” Zhang Zian explained, ”It was good that you didn't get sick.”

Yuanhua Building was a 20-story office building. Today was a weekend so there were only a few cars in the parking lot.

Zhang Zian was looking up at the building when he heard someone calling his name.

”Mr. Zhang, I am here!”

He looked forward and saw Captain Sheng waving at him next to a police car.

”Captain Sheng, I am sorry to get you out on a weekend.”

Zhang Zian walked over to Captain Sheng as he spoke. He decided to come today because it was a weekend and there were less people in the building, so it was a great opportunity to search for clues. Also, Galaxy could play happily with less people around. The only thing was that it had to take up Captain Sheng's weekend. Zhang Zian felt a bit sorry about it.

”That's fine,” Captain Sheng came up. ”I was working overtime in my office when you called.”

”You are so busy,” Zhang Zian replied.

When the two came close, Captain Sheng looked very welcoming and shook Zhang Zian's hand.

When their hands met, Captain Sheng felt power come through from Zhang Zian's hand. He could definitely feel the difference in Zhang's hand than others. Captain Sheng had shaken hands with special police. Their hands were big and rough. Zhang Zian's hand felt like a normal person's yet very powerful in a way.

Captain Sheng thought to himself, ”It looks like it is real that this kid knows Kung Fu.”
