Chapter 64
Once the idea was confirmed in his mind, Bai Jing did not delay. He told Xiao Sa, and then teleported out of the house.
”Who is it?” There was a loud shout.
Bai Jing had just come to the next door, and had not yet stood still before he was pointed at with guns from all directions. Bai Jing calmly raised his eyebrows and looked around. No wonder Yu Yue said they were not simple. This kind of formation shouldn't be underestimated.
The lighting in the room was weak. There were only a few flashlights, and except for the woman with barely concealed grief in her eyes holding her child, everyone else in the group was vigilant. Most importantly, they all had weapons in their hands. The end of the world was just beginning, and very few people would have this kind of toy. If not the army, police, or arms smugglers, then that could only mean bandits. Obviously, these people belonged to the latter group. Bai Jing was a bit familiar with the first man - he was very rich, and often appeared on TV.
”Oh… Who are you? I seem to have a some impression of you.” When Bai Jing saw that they were treating him like some great enemy, he suddenly felt an impulse to be playful. He teleported over and sat on the sofa, and in a flash, the figure that the gun muzzles had been pointed at disappeared.
Except for the man sitting at the window and the woman, everyone else's expressions changed.
The man waved his hand and signalled for everyone to back down. Although some of the woman's men hesitated, this was not their territory, and they slowly put away their guns and kept guard.
The man stared at Bai Jing for a while, his sharp eyes hiding a sense of probing. ”I am Leng Han. Congratulations on your recovery.”
Bai Jing frowned. He could tell that this person was a villain as soon as he spoke. He hated dealing with people like this the most - there were too many twists and turns involved, and it was tiring and annoying. Bai Jing ignored the other person's probing and asked, ”Leng Han? That name seems very familiar. How did you know that I was recovering?”
Leng Han stilled, his eyes darkening slightly as he relaxed his guard a little. It had just been a guess, but now he was certain that the youth in front of him was too simple and straightforward. It seemed like this child, this kind of person, would have no malicious intent, so he smiled slowly and said, ”I guessed.”
Bai Jing did not have the patience to deal with him. He really hated those who purposely withheld information to make things difficult. He directly turned towards Sister Lian, and pulled out several bottles of medicine and injections from his s.p.a.ce. ”This is for you. You guys have doctors and should know how to use it.”
Sister Lian raised her head. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she was thrilled and happy as she held tightly to her child's hand, no longer able to force herself to be calm. ”Thank you.”
”I'm leaving.” Bai Jing nodded, and it could be interpreted as his acceptance of her thanks. He did not look at Leng Han, and simply ignored him. Everyone only saw a flash in front of their eyes as the youth left the same way he arrived, teleporting away.
”Big Brother…” A man beside Leng Han began to show his displeasure.
”It's nothing. In the future, be more careful with the people from that side. It would be best if we could establish good relations with them.” Leng Han was not bothered by this at all, and he only felt that it was interesting. It was the first time that someone ignored him so thoroughly, but it made him even more clear that the people in the courtyard next door were not that good to provoke. The most important thing right now was to be cautious. He never made mistakes when it came to details, but it seemed that he had used the wrong method just now. He also had not thought that the teenager would also play his cards out of order. He had originally thought that the youth would try to get to the bottom of things with him, which was why he had purposely made things difficult.
In fact, the reason for guessing that the youth had just recovered was very simple. First, they had not seen the youth the day before yesterday. Secondly, the courtyard next door changed a lot yesterday, and it was impossible for them not to be aware of it. Third, and this was the most important point, was that the youth had displayed a s.p.a.ce ability just now. If there had been generators next door the whole time, they would not have waited until yesterday afternoon before using them. All these suppositions added together to suggest that the youth must have only just recovered.
After Bai Jing left, Sister Lian hurriedly pa.s.sed the medicine to Liang Yi, adhering to the principle of caution. ”Take a look, see if there's anything wrong with this medicine.” Although she did not believe that the youth would purposely set her up, benefits that came without rhyme or reason did not let people feel a.s.sured.
Liang Yi took the medicine, looked it over, and nodded. ”Yes, there's nothing wrong with it. It's all cold, fever and anti-inflammatory drugs. If they work, young master will wake up tomorrow.” Only, he could not understand. Clearly, that youth had not been so good towards them when they were at his door earlier.
Others also could not understand and asked, ”Why did he suddenly deliver medicine?”
Sister Lian gently looked at her child and did not think too much about it. ”Regardless of why, I accepted this kindness. After Chenchen wakes up tomorrow, we'll go and thank them.”
”Yes!” Liang Yi quickly prepared the dosage and gave the child an injection, feeling ashamed in his heart. In fact, they had brought medicine with them, but they had not expected that the young master would fall ill so quickly that simply taking pills did not have any effect at all.
”Does Mr. Leng know anything about the people next door?” Seeing that her son was not so feverish anymore, Sister Lian was relieved, and turned to talk to Leng Han.
”Not much.” Cold shakes his head: ”If I guessed correctly, they have rank one ability users, and a lot of weapons.” This was also why he had adopted a 'wait and see' att.i.tude. He had always been able to a.s.sess the situation ever since he was young. He had already gone over and greeted them when they arrived the day before yesterday, but the other party's wish to stay separate had been very clear, and he would naturally go and test it out for fun.
”Rank one ability users?” Sister Lian was shocked, and then she clearly understood that she was very lucky that they hadn't tried to force their way in earlier. No wonder it had seemed as though everything was covered by a layer of fog when they tried a psychic probe. Someone must have been s.h.i.+elding.
Leng Han nodded in confirmation. ”It Is very obvious. The youth just now was a s.p.a.ce ability user. Our team also has two s.p.a.ce powers, but they cannot teleport, and have no attack power.” If they had not seen the youth taking things out of his s.p.a.ce, they would have had no way to guess his powers. Even if such a person was not involved in world affairs, it was still better not to provoke him. The way he thought and moved was too bizarre, and difficult to guard against.
”Powers can rank up?” Sister Lian was deep in thought. Although they had enough guns and ammunition, there would still be a day when those things ran out. She could see that the world was becoming more and more chaotic, and she and her husband were both of one mind. Rather than believing in the country's blind guarantees, it would be better for them to make their own preparations in advance. Those who came from the streets would never place their hopes on others.
After they heard this, someone else suggested, ”Perhaps we can go and inquire, or bring some things over in exchange.”
Leng Han and Sister Lian both shook their heads at the same time. ”Impossible.”
”It seems that Madame Yang also has the same thought.” Leng Han laughed lightly.
Sister Lian lowered her voice. ”Boss Leng does not need to be so polite. You also know in your heart that they are not in need of anything.” She had offered an exchange before, but they had turned and left without another glance.
Leng Han no longer spoke. Although him and Sister Lian knew each other, they did not walk on the same path and had no previous friends.h.i.+p. Right now, they had not reached the stage of having a heart to heart. So, he changed the topic and said, ”It's not early, and Mrs. Yang must be tired from the road. It's better to rest early. There is smoke from the fire in the room, which is not good for the child. There are several vacant rooms next door. You can pick from them as you like.”
Sister Lian understood in her heart that Leng Han was sending them away. He had already given them enough face by letting them share their lodgings. This person, Leng Han, although she had never dealt with him before, she had heard many rumours that he was a difficult person to get along with. ”Thank you, Boss Leng. If you need any help in the future, just ask, and we will do our best to help.”
