The suburbs of Ping'an Town, the entrance of Yuanqiao Village.

Zhang Yan half-kneeled on the ground, and at his feet was the dirt road leading to Ping'an Town from Yuanqiao Village.

He tapped one or two on the mud with his fingers, dipped in a little bit of soil, then came to his eyes, rubbed and observed carefully.

"The traces are new, which means that someone has been here on a vehicle these days, and depending on the size of the team, the number of people should be quite large!"

He pondered for a moment and slowly analyzed, and made a rough judgment on the size of the convoy passing by.

Having said that, it is unknown who the convoy was, whether the other party passed by Ping'an Town or hid somewhere in Ping'an Town.

The most important thing is that all the traces in Yuanqiao Village were erased, and the other party had quite a few methods, so the traces that could be found could not indicate the target.

"Professionals, unknown origin!" Zhang Yan could only make such a judgment.

He looked up at the wheel marks on the ground, and finally looked towards Ping'an Town in the distance.

"Well, I haven't returned to Ping'an Town for a long time, so I'll go back to take a look this time."

He had no clues for a while, so he could only drive to Ping'an Town with a vehicle, hoping to find clues of those people in the town.

Ping'an Town.

Bai Family Mansion, basement.

Mr. Bai showed a sad face and stood alone in front of a closed iron door.

Inside the Iron Gate, the man in black was using his methods on the cub of the strange beast. As for the specific situation, no one could get in, so he naturally had no way to know.

On both sides of the iron gate, there were two men in black standing. They guarded the place and no one was allowed to approach it.

The two men in black who were guarding here had no expression on their faces, but one of them suddenly took out an old-fashioned button phone and answered a call.

Although the thermal weapons around the world were ineffective after the invasion of the strange beasts, some electronic devices that do not have attack capabilities can still be used, at least mobile phones can be used to maintain communication.

However, these appliances are not without restrictions. The phone calls are very close and require signal tower coverage.

"Master Bai, go and take a look. There is news that the people from the Warriors Association have come to Ping'an Town. You must not show off your strength!"

After hanging up the phone, the man in black reminded Mr. Bai.

Although this is Mr. Bai's residence, the group of men in black are the main guest. If you have any questions, you can send Mr. Bai, but instead he becomes a servant.

Mr. Bai sighed secretly, then looked back at a corner of the basement, with a trace of meaning in his eyes, and then he quickly walked up the stairs.

"It's a blessing or not a disaster, it's just a disaster. I hope my original choice was right, so I'll get through this level first!"

He walked up the first floor along the stairs and just walked out of the basement entrance, but a figure was already waiting here.

"Dad, who are those people? Why are they here?" Bai Shaofeng looked at the men in black patrolling at the door and said curiously.

"Shaofeng, they are their father's business partners. You can stay here for the past few days, so don't worry."

Mr. Bai was still a little worried and immediately reminded: "By the way, I'll go back to school early recently. Xiaocong's homework doesn't need to worry about. I'll help him hire a tutor. After all, you still have your studies, so don't go both ways, it's easy to be distracted."

"Oh well."

Bai Shaofeng nodded after hearing this, and then walked out the door.

"It's rare to go home together, I'll go to the town to have a look."

"Go, go."

Mr. Bai was relieved and waved his hand.

But when Bai Shaofeng walked out of the door, he nodded to the men in black who were walking by both sides, and passed them intentionally or unintentionally.

"The old thing is hiding deeply from me. It seems that I don't even have the opportunity to contact me. I requested to implement Plan B!"

He deliberately paused for a while and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the man in black.

"Also, he said he wanted to hire a tutor and could arrange a person to come."

The few people then separated, Bai Shaofeng walked towards the garage, and soon drove towards Ping'an Town.

...

Ping'an Town, town center.

Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar street in front of him, Zhang Yan felt a lot of emotion.

When he left here, he didn't expect that it would take ten years to go there, and now he has returned to his hometown.

His parents died when they were young because of the attack of strange beasts, which also made him rely on himself since childhood. Although Ping'an Town is a home for him, it is not a real home.

A roar of a motor sounded, and a red sports car with an excellent shape rushed past the concrete road in the center of the town, and passers-by were watching from the side.

It is evening now, and some workers who are off work and some young students can be seen on the road.

As the sports car passed, all the students showed envy and excitement.

"Ping'an Town is not a big place. When will anyone drive such an expensive car?"

Zhang Yan glanced at the vehicle behind him. Compared with the sports car just now, his vehicle was a lump of iron.

"Looking at the appearance of the vehicle, the person driving this car should be a young man, but what young man would like to stay in Ping'an Town?"

He thought in his heart and thoughts a lot.

He has been an investigator in the Warriors Association for so long that he sees some unusual things and thinks about possibilities, which has become a habit for him.

The sports car I drove just now made him feel that the owner of the car appeared in Ping'an Town, and there was definitely a problem with this.

"There is no clue at hand now, should I investigate it?"

He was hesitating because his guess was unfounded. Although the investigators of the Warriors Association were all suspicious, they would not just investigate it based on some speculations.

If you do useless work, you will easily distract your energy.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Zhang?" Just as he was thinking, a middle-aged woman recognized him.

Zhang Yan looked back and saw that the person who came was still an acquaintance of his.

"So it's Aunt Chen!"

The person who greeted him was a middle-aged woman with slightly curled hair, wide body and fat body, surrounded by a thick and luster skirt, and holding a basket of vegetables in her hand.

She is Chen Yingying's biological mother, Widow Chen who opened a restaurant in the town.

Because she opened a restaurant all year round, her face was slightly darkened by smoke, and her hands were also called out because of cooking.

At this moment, the woman was looking at Zhang Yan with a smile, as if she had seen some relative.

"It's really Xiao Zhang. I heard that you were admitted to the martial arts degree at Jinnan University. Have you become a warrior after graduation? How are you doing now? Have you entered the martial arts association..."

Widow Chen was jokingly, as if the elders were concerned about the younger generation, and she spoke to inquire about Zhang Yan’s situation.

"Aunt Chen, I'm on a mission recently. It's rare to come back, so I won't disturb you much."

Zhang Yan knew it would be a matter of time before his identity was exposed, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a "warm" hospitality as soon as he was recognized.

"What are you disturbing? Xiao Zhang, you are so disgusting!" Seeing this, Widow Chen was not willing to let Zhang Yan go.

"Let's have a walk, let's have dinner at my house today. Auntie, I'll cook some dishes for you today!"

After saying that, she grabbed Zhang Yan and pulled the other party to her small restaurant.

"How can you be so embarrassed..."

Although Zhang Yan felt something was wrong, he was in a hurry to leave Jingui City and had not found a place to stay.

In addition, he had eaten a lot of dishes made by Widow Chen back then, so he was really moved after hesitating, and was really pulled by the other party.

In fact, with his martial artist's physique, if he really doesn't want to go, how could he pull a warrior with the strength of Widow Chen?

This is a typical saying that you don’t want it but your body is honest.

"By the way, Xiao Zhang, our girl is going to take the college entrance examination recently. Didn't you graduate from martial arts? I'll sit for a while later. When my girl comes back, you can talk to her. I'm also worried that this girl will really be admitted to martial arts, I don't know which school to choose..."

Along the way, Widow Chen started to talk again, which made Zhang Yan feel overwhelmed.

However, after hearing Widow Chen’s boast, he also remembered Chen Yingying. She was a little girl who ran along with Widow Chen back then, but she didn’t expect that she would take the martial arts exam now.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Widow Chen went straight to the kitchen.

There are not many seats in this restaurant, with only three tables in total, and they can do more than a dozen people, and it is obvious that they are small business.

And it's not a weekend now, and there is no customer in the entire restaurant, so Zhang Yan chose a seat to sit down.

"It's exactly the same as back then. It seems that ten years have passed and nothing has changed here!"

He looked at the familiar arrangement around him, conditioned and picked up a pair of chopsticks, holding one with his left and right hands like a child, and began to hit the table.

This was the action he waited for when he was having a meal at Widow Chen’s shop. When he returned to Ping'an Town, he couldn’t help but feel like he was back in the past.

After about ten minutes, the food was served.

Widow Chen was in high spirits today and made seven or eight small stir-fryes.

Zhang Yan looked at the table of dishes, then looked at Widow Chen who took off her scarf, and then smiled at her widow Chen sitting next to her, and always felt that the other party had some intentions.

Suddenly, Zhang Yan frowned and looked at the entrance of the restaurant.

"It smells so good. Although it is home-cooked, it has an inexplicable attraction to me. If you have the opportunity in the future, I really want to let "Erpang" and "Sanya" come and try it!"

I saw a young man wearing a brown detective hat and a long black windbreaker walking into the restaurant, staring at the dishes on Zhang Yan's table casually, and smiling slightly.

After saying that, he walked to an empty position, took off his hat and placed it aside casually, then untied his windbreaker to reveal the white shirt he was wearing.

From the outline, this person has a slender body, long and not burly body. He is about twenty-four or twenty-five years old and is relatively young.

He has a slightly pointed chin, a slightly thicker lips, fair skin, clear and bright eyes, and a slightly handsome appearance.

"What do you want to eat?" Widow Chen asked conditioned when she saw the guest coming to the door.

"That table of dishes is good. How about giving me the same portion?" The visitor pointed to the table in front of Zhang Yan, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile.

"Okay, wait a moment." Widow Chen could only tie her scarf and walk to the kitchen.

After a while, the sound of cooking sounded.
Chapter completed!
