Chapter 66: First Real Interaction

It was already noon.
Because Su Yun was about to leave the Burning Mountain, Big Head Yang had put away his rod early.
On the way, Big Head Yang muttered as he drove the tricycle, “What happened in the mountains today? Why are there police officers and ambulances one moment and I even saw two military radar SUVs.”
Su Yun had a guess that it might be related to the group of people he had encountered that day, but he was not sure for the time being.
He smiled and said, “Stop gossiping.”
Big Head Yang pretended to be mysterious and said, “Don’t you know that the fishermen gossip the most?”
Su Yun was surprised and said, “Then what exactly happened? Tell me.”
“Hehehe, that’s enough. I’ll share the tea with you…” Big Head Yang suddenly changed the topic and said mysteriously, “Today, an ancient tomb of Western Zhou was discovered in the mountains. I heard that it’s the Prince Regent of the Zhou Dynasty’s royal family.”
Huh?
Su Yun’s shock was real, but so was his suspicion.
This was because Big Head Yang’s words seemed unreliable. Based on his understanding of history, wasn’t Western Zhou divided into feudal territories? They were all small countries with vassals. How could there be a Prince Regent?
Big Head Yang glanced at Su Yun, who was holding the fish frame behind him.
Seeing the other party’s disbelief, he immediately said anxiously, “Hey, you still don’t believe me? When have I ever lied to you?”
Su Yun rolled his eyes at the other party. “Everything you say is B.S.”
Seeing that his bluff had been exposed, Big Head Yang could only laugh awkwardly.
Then, he told Su Yun what he had heard.
“I heard from a few fishing men that a brother thought that the fishing spot near the reservoir was not good early this morning, so he followed a few friends into the deep mountains.
Just as they entered a forest and were about to take a shortcut, they suddenly discovered a huge pit.
At that time, someone was prepared to go down and explore, but in the end, because they heard a terrifying roar coming from inside, they did not dare to go in and called the police.
I heard that the police found a thousand-year-old corpse inside. It had white hair and had become a zombie.
In the end, many police officers were injured, but they couldn’t restrain the zombies, so they called the army over. The white-haired zombie was shot into a sieve before it stopped moving…’
“Alright, alright. You’re getting more and more ridiculous. Hurry up and go back to help your grandmother cook!”
Su Yun could not stand it anymore and interrupted Big Head Yang’s nonsense.
Big Head Yang had an expression that said, “Su Yun, you don’t have any entertainment spirit at all.” He turned his head and continued driving.
Not long after, when they returned home, Grandma Yang prepared a sumptuous meal for Su Yun.
Wild mushroom salad, fish with pickled vegetables, fried crispy meat, and chicken yam stew…
Su Yun ate until his stomach was round before stopping.
After lunch, Su Yun bade farewell to Big Head Yang and Grandma Yang and left Gazi Groove in a car under their escort.
This trip to the Burning Mountain was very perfect. If he had not encountered that attack, it would have been even better.
However, at least he had broken through to the second realm. This trip was not in vain.
On the way back, Su Yun was in a good mood. It was another bumpy journey before he returned to the city.
The journey was also very stable. There were no attacks. Su Yun could not help but wonder if the criminals had already been arrested.
When he arrived home, it was already evening. The setting sun hung on the top of the tallest building in Hibiscus City, the Ocean Financial Building. It welcomed people in and sent people off, filling up the evening of the small city with a warm color.
People got off work under the sunset. In this season, it was the most comfortable to ride a bike. With three to five colleagues as companions, they rode side by side on the non-motorized road under the green trees. Even stopping at the crossing to wait for the traffic lights was a pleasure. In the end, they arrived home at a moderate speed.
Su Yun returned to his home under such circumstances.
He looked at the room that he had not returned to for a week. They were all very clean, but for some reason, he felt that there was a layer of dust. He could not help but clean them.
“I’m finally back. I still feel more safe at home.”
However, just as he took off his clothes and was about to throw them into the washing machine, he suddenly felt a foreign object in his hand.
“What? Big Head Yang even gave me money before he left? Hehe.”
Su Yun smiled and took out the foreign object from his pocket.
He took a closer look and saw that it was some scraps of gold foil that had been cut last night.
“I knew Big Head Yang wouldn’t be so kind.”
Shaking his head, Su Yun casually threw the scraps to the side.
After that, Su Yun cleaned the house briefly and washed a pile of clothes before entering the kitchen. He planned to cook some instant noodles to deal with a meal.
Ring ring ring…
However, as soon as he entered the kitchen, his phone rang.
“Hello, who is this?” “Hello, is this Su Yun?”
“Yes, I am.”
“I’m a criminal investigation officer from the Hibiscus City Police Department. I have something to ask you. Do you have time now?”
Hearing this, Su Yun’s heart trembled.
It’s finally here!
Su Yun had taken the initiative to call the police after the attack. However, the police never came. He thought that the Gazi Groove police station did not take it seriously.
Now that he had finally received a call from the city police, it seemed that Gazi Groove had reported it?
He could not help but think of the grand occasion he had seen at the Burning Mountain this morning. He did not know if it was related during this period.
“I have time.”
“Alright, where are you now?”
“I’m at home. The address is—”
After some simple communication, Su Yun waited at home for the police to come.
At 6:30 p.m., Su Yun had just finished dinner when there was a knock on the door.
—Knock knock knock.
Su Yun quickly got up to open the door, but when the door opened, he could not help but be slightly stunned.
In front of her was a beautiful woman in a neat police uniform. She had a refreshing and capable ponytail and stood elegantly outside the door. She was tilting her head under the setting sun and smiling like the moon in the warm evening wind.
This was completely different from the serious image Su Yun had imagined.
In fact, Zhou Xiaoxiao was only a graduating intern similar to Su Yun’s age. However, she had graduated from the police academy, so she was directly assigned to the Hibiscus City Police Station.
Others always had high hopes for Zhou Xiaoxiao, and the people also regarded her as a heroine who was not inferior to men, but she was still a girl.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao was also taking the opportunity to size up the bright and handsome boy in front of her.
Although she had seen him in the live-stream before, this was the first time she had come into contact with him in real life. Especially when she came into contact with a small internet celebrity she liked in real life, she more or less felt like a fan meeting a celebrity.
It had to be said that Su Yun was more real and handsome in reality. Most importantly, that indescribable calm temperament made Zhou Xiaoxiao feel very special. This was something she could not experience in the live-stream.
Of course, they had seen each other during the robber case, but at that time, they did not have the time to look at each other carefully. Zhou Xiaoxiao only heard a voice.
This was the first time the two of them met, and it was also the first time they interacted face to face.
Suddenly, their gazes met.
Perhaps sensing that it was impolite to look at the other party like this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Su Yun turned around and made way for the door. “Please come in.
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and changed her shoes before walking into the living room.
Su Yun closed the door and quickly walked in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao, leading her to the sofa in the living room.
“Please take a seat. How should I address you?”
“My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Xiaoxiao. This is my police officer ID. I’m here for a routine interrogation. Mr. Su, you don’t have to be nervous.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao walked towards the sofa, but she had already inadvertently looked around.
It couldn’t be helped. This was the professional habit of a criminal investigation officer. After coming to an unfamiliar environment, they couldn’t help but observe..
