School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 517 - 519: Looking for Zhang Feng

"Ah, it's not easy to explain all of this to you in a short time, just be careful," Lan Yudie said anxiously as she looked at Xiao Han, then pulled him towards the school.

Back to the dormitory.

For the first time, Zhang Dagou and Liu Bin were not playing games but sat in the dormitory with gloomy faces. When Xiao Han returned, Liu Bin hurriedly said, "Xiao Han, I suspect something has happened to Zhang Feng."

"No reply yet?" Xiao Han asked.

"No!" Liu Bin nodded and said, "There's been no message."

"We do need to be careful." Xiao Han also looked solemn and said, "If there's still no message by tomorrow morning, we should think of something."

"Think of what?" Zhang Dagou asked anxiously.

"Let me think!" Xiao Han furrowed his brow.

After a long while, Xiao Han said, "I have an idea. If there's still no word from him by tomorrow morning, then... we'll take the initiative to look for him. Lan Yudie has Zhang Feng's home address. We can follow the address to find him."

"Right!" Liu Bin immediately nodded, then said, "That kid Zhang Feng is just from around the provincial city. It seems like a one or two-hour drive. When the time comes, we can go straight to his house and see what's going on."

Having decided on a strategy, the three roommates began to discuss all night, speculating about various possibilities.

However, as things stand, any possibility is likely.

A sleepless night.

Early the next day, there was still no news from Zhang Feng. Liu Bin was the first to get out of bed; he quickly washed up, then woke Xiao Han and Zhang Dagou.

"You two get up," Liu Bin yelled. "It's already seven o'clock, and there's still no message from Zhang Feng; we should set off."

"Stop it, it's only seven o'clock." Zhang Dagou loved to sleep in—he rolled over and continued sleeping.

Xiao Han stretched and then got up.

After washing up, Zhang Dagou also leisurely got up. At seven-thirty, the three of them left together.

Lan Yudie had sent Zhang Feng's home address to Xiao Han the night before and reminded him to be cautious and not too reckless.

Zhang Feng's home is in Lin City of Z Province.

Lin City is located in the southern part of Z Province, about an hour and a half's drive from the provincial city. Lin City and Linjiang City are three hours apart by car, one to the south and the other to the north. The distance is quite far. However, the distance from both places to the provincial city is more or less the same.

Xiao Han drove the car, with Liu Bin and Zhang Dagou sitting in the back. They continued discussing how to go. Xiao Han called the service center directly through the car's service system, asking the center to send him a location. BMW has its own customer service center. Soon, the customer service sent an address, and with the navigation system, they quickly found the spot.

Once the car's location was set, Xiao Han stepped hard on the accelerator and sped off. He was going very fast.

After getting on the freeway, Xiao Han further increased the speed, and Liu Bin and Zhang Dagou in the backseat soon fell asleep.

Xiao Han drove alone with music playing in the car, and before long, the car arrived at Lin City.

After coming off the freeway, they passed through Lin City and entered the southern part of the city, got on Ring City Road, then through the urban-rural fringe, and headed straight for the village where Zhang Feng lived.

Zhang Feng's place was located at the urban-rural fringe on the southern side of Lin City. When Xiao Han arrived, he felt the area was quite disorderly. The messy houses were scattered in disarray, and it seemed challenging to find Zhang Feng's home among them—at least that's what Xiao Han thought.

After entering the urban-rural fringe, Xiao Han stopped the car.

Not far away, some children were playing, tumbling on the dusty ground, with a couple of big yellow dogs playing along with them. A group of adults was chatting nearby. Suddenly seeing a luxurious BMW car stop in the open space, everyone spontaneously walked toward the vehicle.

Xiao Han got out of the car.

"Have we arrived?" Liu Bin rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"We have, we have!" Xiao Han said at that moment.

Liu Bin woke up Zhang Dagou, who had been snoring loudly in the car.

"Ah, is it mealtime? Is it mealtime now?" Zhang Dagou hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, all you ever think about is eating!" Liu Bin replied irritably, adding, "We've already arrived in Lin City, hurry up and get up, you might need to help out later!"

The two of them immediately got out of the car.

Not far away, a lot of people curiously gathered around.

This bunch seemed to look at them with a distinctly unfriendly gaze. Xiao Han suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp. It wasn't because he was afraid of them, but because they might have some misunderstanding about him. Xiao Han looked at them awkwardly and quickly said, "Folks, do you... do you know Zhang Feng?"

"Don't know him!" The middle-aged man leading the group waved his hand, "You better leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Damn, why are these people so fierce?" Liu Bin retorted irritably, "We haven't offended them at all!"

"They might have misunderstood us!" Xiao Han quickly explained.

"What do we do then?" Liu Bin asked awkwardly.

Xiao Han hesitated, then bought a pack of soft-case Chunghwa cigarettes from a nearby store and offered them to the middle-aged man and the men around him. Offering cigarettes was a sign of goodwill. Just like smiling at someone—he who extends his hand does not strike the smiling face.

Xiao Han's action eased the atmosphere for a moment.

"Where are you guys from?" The middle-aged man asked after lighting up the cigarette, his tone a bit more relaxed.

"Big brother, we've come from the provincial city," Xiao Han quickly explained. "We are here in Lin City looking for a classmate; we don't know what happened to him. School has already started, and he hasn't arrived yet, and his phone is switched off, so we had to come here to find him."

"You're not here to steal dogs?" The middle-aged man frowned.

"No, no, no!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Han shook his head quickly, saying, "We're not dog thieves, you can rest assured about that."

"Open the trunk of your car and let us have a look!" The middle-aged man still didn't quite believe Xiao Han.

"Okay!" As soon as Xiao Han heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "I'll open it right now!"

After saying that, he quickly opened the trunk of the car. It was spotlessly clean inside, except for a fire extinguisher. There was nothing else. The middle-aged man inspected the fire extinguisher for a while and after finding no tranquilizer guns or tools for catching dogs, a smile finally appeared on his face, "Little brother, we're really sorry. We've just been scared by dog thieves. Recently, several dozen dogs in our area have been taken, and what's worse, the dog thieves even abducted a neighbor's baby boy. The police are still investigating, and it has made everyone in this area very anxious, fearing that the dog thieves might come back to steal babies!"

"I see!" Hearing this, Xiao Han suddenly understood. No wonder people were looking at him so warily when he stopped the car. Xiao Han quickly shook his head and said, "Big brother, you can be sure about this—we're just students. We're only here to look for our classmate."

"You just said your classmate's name is Zhang Feng?" The middle-aged man asked, puzzled.

"Yes!" Xiao Han immediately nodded.

"Could it be that kid from Zhang Family Village?" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

"Zhang Family Village?" Xiao Han asked, perplexed, "That's probably right."

"Our village isn't too far from Zhang Family Village, but recently, there's been a big commotion because Zhang Family Village is being demolished," the middle-aged man began. "I don't know the Zhang Feng you mentioned, but I know that several people from Zhang Family Village were arrested over this matter."

"It's very likely," Liu Bin piped up quickly.

"Right, right!" Zhang Dagou eagerly nodded and said, "Zhang Feng is a loyal guy, he values friendship. Seeing the village at a disadvantage, he would be the first to rush forward."

"Big brother, can you take us there to have a look?" Xiao Han hurriedly asked.

"No problem!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "We almost misunderstood you just now, that's the least I can do."

Afterward, the middle-aged man immediately led Xiao Han and his companions toward Zhang Family Village.

Zhang Family Village was only a few hundred meters away, at the urban-rural interface, with the city's expansion constantly encroaching into the countryside. Urban development and expansion are inseparable from land. Therefore, the countryside around the cities is quickly being consumed by the advancing pace of urban development.

The middle-aged man took them to Zhang Family Village.

Zhang Family Village was not too large but certainly not small either. A provincial road passed through the entrance of the village, which was in a very favorable location. Moreover, with the city's expansion, there were buildings and high-rises not far from the village. The demolition team had already reached the entrance of the village, and the land of Zhang Family Village had been sold to a developer, with the government helping with the demolition.

Xiao Han smiled but did not join in the conversation, as this was the typical thinking of the Chinese. As long as the trouble didn't affect them directly, they would not awaken. When they saw others being bullied, they appeared very calm. However, when the same thing happened to themselves, they became anything but calm.
