Metropolis: The Rise of Chinese Arts

Zhang Nian froze for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said.

"No, no, you misunderstood. I wanted to inquire about Hongmao today."

"Oh"

As if the woman didn't hear what he said, her eyes fell on He Xiaoxuan who was behind Zhang Nian.

"It turns out that Master Zhang is accompanied by a beautiful woman today, okay, but we don't know about the red hair. This kid has a bad character and doesn't communicate with us much."

Zhang Nian sighed and had no choice but to turn and leave.

He originally wanted to find Fatty now, but unfortunately, Fatty's cell phone was always turned off, and he couldn't get through. Zhang Nian didn't know where he was.

Although Fatty was the head of this place before, Zhang Nian only knew about the small tavern.

Ever since the tavern was demolished, Zhang Nian didn't know where these people settled down.

While worrying, Zhang Nian suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked towards another small alley.

This small alley is gloomy and dark, and it is very long.

He Xiaoxuan saw Zhang Nian going in, but did not follow, but stopped at the entrance of the alley.

I don't know if it's because of her heart, or because she is afraid of soiling her possibly very expensive suit of clothes.

Zhang Nian didn't care about her, he knew that for this place, He Xiaoxuan's kung fu was enough.

He went inside alone.

The alley became colder and colder as we walked, and finally, after a few seconds, Zhang Nian saw the innermost door of the alley.

This door is already very dilapidated and looks very old.

Moreover, it was only concealed, and it was not closed.

This is where the red hair lived before.

Zhang Nian raised his leg and walked in.

I saw that the lights were still on in this room, but it seemed that there was no popularity other than that room.

Zhang Nian raised his vigilance and walked inside.

When he reached the bedroom door, he kicked the door open.

"what!"

A scream rang out instantly, and Zhang Nian suddenly took two steps back, taking precautions.

But suddenly he saw a mother and daughter sitting on the kang next to her.

The mother is already a little disheveled.

She looked very scared and hugged her daughter tightly.

Zhang Nian scratched his head in embarrassment for a moment, and said.

"Well, don't be afraid, I'm not here to look for you, the previous owner here, do you know who it is?"

The woman was stunned for two seconds, probably because she realized that Zhang Nian really didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so she said.

"I, I don't know, we just found this place. The sisters outside said that there is no money here. My daughter and I haven't eaten for several days. We are tired and hungry. We came from other places. I don’t know anything, when I came, there was no one here.”

Zhang Nian sighed and looked at the clothes the woman was wearing.

As it is, if he lives in this place, he will be bullied sooner or later.

Zhang Nian thought for a while, took off his coat, and threw it to the woman.

He looked around the room.

I found that everything here has actually been cleaned up again.

Although it looks very dilapidated here, moreover, it seems that it is about to collapse.

But judging from the cleaning up inside, it should be done by this woman.

And the red-haired things before are gone.

From here, Zhang Nian could basically guess that Hongmao had already prepared to escape.

Probably because he knew in his heart that if Zhang Nian found out what he did, he would definitely suffer.

The people in the south of the city might not let themselves go.

Then, what He Xiaoxuan said may really be true.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a scream from the alley outside.

Zhang Nian suddenly came back to his senses, could it be that something happened to He Xiaoxuan?
Although she may not be weak, she is just a girl after all.

In such a broken place, there are still dangers.

While thinking about it, Zhang Nian raised his legs and walked outside. In a few seconds, he had already appeared at the entrance of the alley.

However, apart from those women and He Xiaoxuan, there was no one else in front of him.

Zhang Nian looked at them strangely and said.

"Who shouted?"

The women seemed to look at each other and suddenly laughed.

This smile made Zhang Nian a little at a loss.

But he was still worried about Xiaocheng at this time, and he didn't have any intention of joking with them here.

He Xiaoxuan probably also suddenly remembered about Xiaocheng, and hurried back.

The women looked at Zhang Nian and said.

"Hey, that's not right, Mr. Zhang, where are the clothes on his body? I didn't look for us, so I got the news and despised us."

As she spoke, the woman glanced into the alley.

The meaning is already obvious.

Zhang Nian smiled coldly and said.

"What kind of person do you think I am? I just saw that the mother and daughter were a little pitiful. However, since they have come, please help me. It seems that the mother and daughter belong to a good family. Don't Bring them into your team, if I know what wronged them, I will definitely come back."

When the woman was still about to make a joke, when she looked up and saw Zhang Nian's icy face, she shivered instantly and nodded.

Zhang Nian turned around and left, He Xiaoxuan quickly followed.

When he reached the intersection, Zhang Nian asked.

"What were you doing outside just now?"

He Xiaoxuan shook his head and said.

"Nothing, I just chatted with them and thought it was funny, so why are you nervous?"

As he said that, He Xiaoxuan leaned towards Zhang Nian provocatively.

Zhang Nian dodged lightly, and had already dodged.

He chuckled and said.

"It would be best if not. Now it seems that Hongmao is no longer here, and my brother here can't be found. We have to think about it in the long run."

"Don't worry about the long-term, I know where the small town is."

Before Zhang Nian finished speaking, He Xiaoxuan interrupted him.

Zhang Nian's eyes shifted to her again.

This is really strange, how could this He Xiaoxuan have such a powerful source of information.

Moreover, in this way, Zhang Nian really felt that he was a little passive.

It's like being led by the nose by her.

Seeing Zhang Nian standing there without speaking, He Xiaoxuan said.

"What's the matter, don't you want to go?"

"Although I don't know who you are, I think you'd better not play tricks."

Zhang Nian already felt that something was wrong.

This He Xiaoxuan is like a monitor beside her.

Say she is not enthusiastic, she has been following her.

Let's say she is enthusiastic, she is not that anxious at all, she is more like watching a play with herself.
