Chapter 53 Niu Yishou's Request
The reason for calling Niu Yishou was simply because Bufan Zhu didn't know the specific location of the Chen Family, and the call to Niu Yishou was naturally to find that out.
Of course, Bufan Zhu had already been in touch with Niu Yishou.
Now, the call was just to have him inform himself.
Xingyue Bar!
At this moment, Bufan Zhu was sitting at a spot towards the corner, with his suitcase placed at his feet.
After drinking a beer and seeing that Niu Yishou still hadn't arrived, Bufan Zhu was feeling a bit frustrated.
Just have him find out the specific location of a family for me, and then send it directly to my phone. But, you stubbornly don't send it and even make me wait for you in a bar.
Bufan Zhu was somewhat clueless about what Niu Yishou was actually up to.
While Bufan Zhu was waiting for Niu Yishou's arrival, at a spot diagonally opposite to where Bufan Zhu was sitting, three buzz-cut youngsters were coldly staring at Bufan Zhu.
To be precise, they were eyeing the suitcase at Bufan Zhu's feet.
It was a bit uncommon to bring a suitcase to a bar for drinks.
But, behind this uncommon sight usually lies a secret: it implies that the suitcase might very well contain a large amount of cash.
Thus, Bufan Zhu was being targeted at this moment.
"Big bro, look, should we make our move now?" one of the buzz-cut youngsters said.
"Slap..."
However, as soon as the buzz-cut youngster finished speaking, what welcomed him was a slap to the face.
"Damn it, do you want to die making your move right now?" another buzz-cut youngster was very angry, "Not to mention there are surveillance cameras in this bar of our Brother Hu, even if you dared to act on Brother Hu's territory, you'd be asking for death!"
"Yes, yes, big bro, I was wrong..." The buzz-cut youngster who received a slap immediately realized his mistake after hearing his big brother speak like this, and then very submissively said, "So what now, big bro? We're not just going to let him go, right?"
"Slap..."
The buzz-cut youngster looked at his boss with regret as he finished speaking.
It would be such a pity if they just let such an easy mark go.
However, before he could feel sorry for himself, another slap landed on his head:
"Damn it, are you stupid? When did I ever say to let him go? If we're going to make a move, we have to do it after he leaves the bar, got it?"
"Yes, yes, boss, I got it!" After being hit again, the buzz-cut youngster was almost crying.
Meanwhile, the remaining buzz-cut youngster was snickering.
Bufan Zhu had already noticed these three buzz-cut youngsters.
Ever since Bufan Zhu walked into Xingyue Bar with the suitcase, he noticed that:
Other people just showed a very strange and curious expression when they saw him carrying a suitcase into bar, but these three buzz-cut youngsters had a look of sheer joy and naked greed.
It seems that these three buzz-cut youths must have experienced something like this more than once before.
As for these three buzz-cut youths, now that they aren't making a move, Zhu Bufan hasn't thought about acting either.
Besides, the main purpose of Zhu Bufan's visit here is to obtain the specific location of the Chen Family from Niu Yishou, so at the moment, there's only one word: wait.
About an hour passed, around nine-thirty in the evening, when Niu Yishou, the chief of the police station, finally arrived at Xing Yue Bar.
At this moment, Niu Yishou wore a black hat, with a black overcoat draped over his body.
As soon as he arrived, he sat directly opposite Zhu Bufan.
Seeing Niu Yishou's getup, Zhu Bufan was originally prepared to 'teach' him a lesson, but now, Zhu Bufan wanted to laugh.
Looking at the attire of Niu Yishou sitting across from him, Zhu Bufan secretly chuckled to himself: I only asked you to inform me of the specific location of the Chen Family, why are you acting like you're attending an underground resistance meeting?
Of course, Zhu Bufan was also speechless.
"Officer Zhu, sorry for being late; there was some traffic on the road," Niu Yishou apologized as soon as he sat down.
The next moment, he handed over a slip of paper, "Officer Zhu, this is what you wanted!"
Zhu Bufan didn't immediately take the paper passed over by Niu Yishou, instead, he looked straight at Niu Yishou:
"An address could be sent via a text message to my phone, but you didn't do that; instead, you arranged to meet with me. It seems that you must have another matter to discuss with me, right? Tell me, Chief Niu, what is the matter?"
Hearing Zhu Bufan speak in such a manner, Niu Yishou's face showed a touch of embarrassment. The next moment, he began to speak: "Officer Zhu truly is no ordinary person, nothing escapes your sight. Aside from delivering the item Officer Zhu requested, indeed, there is an additional favor to ask."
"En..." Zhu Bufan merely nodded without interrupting Niu Yishou.
"It's like this, Officer Zhu, my spouse has been weak since childhood, often falling ill with just the slightest negligence. By chance, I recently met a master who said that my spouse inherently carries a trace of cold Qi in her body, causing her to fall ill whenever it's triggered due to inattentiveness. To prevent illness in the future, a magic artifact of extreme Yang is needed. It just so happens that I've learned about a Magic Artifact Exchange meeting taking place a month from now. I wish to purchase an extreme Yang magic artifact for my spouse at that meeting. However, I'm not knowledgeable about magic artifacts, so I would like Officer Zhu to accompany me and select an extreme Yang magic artifact jade pendant, a jewelry artifact. I wonder if Officer Zhu could lend a hand!"
Niu Yishou spoke with sincerity.
"Hehe, is that so? I'm genuinely happy for your spouse who has a husband like you. She is indeed fortunate. However, Chief Niu, what makes you so sure that I understand magic artifacts?" Upon hearing Niu Yishou's explanation, Zhu Bufan didn't immediately express his stance, instead, he chuckled and asked.
"Officer Zhu, please don't overthink it. The reason I know you understand magic artifacts is because I'm aware that those who can enter the Hidden Dragon Team are generally cultivators, and for cultivators to understand magic artifacts is a matter of course."
"Oh, is that so!"
Zhu Bufan still didn't express his stance but picked up the slip of paper to take a look.
Upon looking, Zhu Bufan was rendered speechless.
The paper not only contained the specific location of the Chen Family but even detailed annotations of the Chen Family members' strengths.
Of course, there was also a check tucked inside.
"Hehe, I see Chief Niu is quite well-prepared for his spouse's sake!
"Officer Zhu jests, I had no other choice! Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the nerve to come and ask for your help!" Niu Yishou's face showed a bit of bitterness.
"Okay! Since Chief Niu is so sincere, what reason do I, Zhu Bufan, have to delay? I, Zhu Bufan, agree to the request then. Chief Niu, just give me a call when the time comes!"
"Good, good. Officer Zhu, on behalf of my spouse, I, Niu Yishou, would like to express my gratitude to you here..."
