Meeting Old Zhang Again

"I can't blame you, this is not something you can decide. Take your time."

Xia Xu sighed when he heard this. He then said, "Okay, that's it for now. Send me the address, I'll be leaving school soon."

"Okay."

Yang Bowen hung up the phone. Soon after, a text with the address was sent to Xia Xu's phone.

"Remember to go home early and don't run around."

After school, Xia Xu still worriedly reminded the little white flower.

After leaving the school, he clearly felt the change in the atmosphere around the school.

The news of Tang Hao's death had obviously spread nearby. Many people pointed fingers at the school gates of Star City Third High, while most people walked off in a hurry. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets than yesterday.

What was more obvious were the fire trucks and police cars passing by. Normally, these vehicles gave people a sense of security, but this kind of collective movement made people nervous. Even those who didn't know the inside story had to ask the people around them if something big had happened.

It was a life, and the person who died lived in a prosperous city. This was a major event that could stir the public's heart in Summer.

This murder case was especially special. The unknown beast that attacked the deceased might continue to cause casualties in the surrounding area. These police cars and fire trucks must have been searching for that beast.

'With the amount of mobilized forces, even if a mutated creature is found, it will die under the gunfire, right? Can the hunter's plot really continue in this situation? Or am I wrong?'

Xia Xu was a little hesitant about his previous guess.

Although the current situation was nothing compared to the entire country, the fire department and the police were dispatched at the same time. Even if a mutant was found, it would not end well.

If the prey was killed by the police, the hunter would not be able to continue hunting. In that case, the plot would be unable to continue.

Of course, this was only one possibility. It was built on the premise that the police could find the 'prey', and that its strength was not exaggerated enough to resist firearms.

'It's also possible that the creature that attacked Tang Hao has a strong concealment ability, or that this creature is not the only one. The scene of Tang Hao's death was just a scene of the monster's appearance.'

Even though his belief was slightly shaken, Xia Xu finally chose to believe in his judgment.

In any case, Tang Hao was a supporting role in «Hunter», and the police had identified him as dead from a beast attack. This meant that there must be one or one kind of special beast in the hunter's storyline.

After confirming this, the rest of the storyline would remain the same. It would definitely revolve around this beast. What was uncertain was its image, ability, reason for birth, and final outcome.

'Forget it, let's not think about this first…'

Breaking his train of thoughts, Xia Xu called a taxi and rushed to the address Yang Bowen gave him.

Although there might be danger, it was not safe anywhere. He still had to earn the money he needed. He did not plan to give up on the plot of «Person About to Die».

Technology society was a money-minded society. The reason why he was forced into such a passive state by the hunter's plot was because he lacked money.

If he had enough money, forget about hiring a bunch of powerful bodyguards, it was not impossible to find some heavy weapons or even an entire team of mercenaries from some chaotic places abroad. In any case, he could check the favorability, talent and destiny, so he did not have to worry about getting into trouble.

With these, would he be afraid of an unknown creature that could be hunted down in Summer? It would be better to capture it as a dish or send it to a laboratory for research.

"Boss, here."

When the taxi arrived at the destination, Yang Bowen was already waiting nearby. When he saw Xia Xu getting out of the car, he quickly jogged over.

"Where is Zhang Jianmin?"

Xia Xu looked around and went straight to the point.

The Times Court Residence was the same developer as the previous Times Square, but it had been developed much earlier and had already been used.

This was a commercial hub near the Times Court Residence. It was a small square with two large supermarkets and various shops along the street.

"Over there!"

Yang Bowen pointed to a staircase along the street. "Hehe, Boss, the person you asked me to find is interesting. He called more than a dozen princesses in the KTV, but he didn't dare to touch them. He just let them sing and drink, while he squatted at the door like a waiter."

The staircase he pointed at was not too eye-catching, but the sign hanging on the second floor took up the entire wall and spanned several meters. The colorful neon lights formed a tacky signboard—Golden Sun KTV.

"What, you look like you're disappointed in him. Do you want to replace him and show him what to do?"

Xia Xu listened to Yang Bowen's wretched laughter and casually joked.

"Ahem, of course not, I just feel like it's a waste of money…"

Yang Bowen coughed and quickly explained.

"Okay, okay, leave the explanation to your wife, it has nothing to do with me."

Xia Xu smiled and walked towards the entrance of the stairs.

"This is just for work, I'm just following the boss's footsteps."

Yang Bowen looked righteous as he valiantly followed behind.

It was only six so it was basically still in the 'morning', thus the KTV was relatively empty. There were not many people, not even any receptionist or waiter.

After walking past a few rooms, Xia Xu saw Zhang Jianmin at first glance. Sure enough, just like Yang Bowen said, he was sitting with his back against the door, smoking a cigarette. There was a small bottle of green glass on the ground next to him.

'I wonder if it's because of the storyline…'

After seeing Zhang Jianmin's appearance, Xia Xu was a little uncertain whether he was following the original plot trajectory of 'drinking and playing around' or experiencing the inevitable situation of a dying person.

According to the plot summary, even without the money he had won from gambling, Zhang Jianmin still had more than a hundred thousand in savings, which was enough for him to indulge in.

Even if the plot was disrupted and deviated from its original trajectory, his original intention of enjoying his last journey after learning of his terminal illness would not change.

However, Xia Xu's purpose for coming here this time was not to investigate this. He just wanted to see if the development and deviation of the plot would increase the summary displayed on Zhang Jian's main character summary. He also wanted to see if he could find other supporting characters or even get some clues to find the old man at the construction site.

Of course, this was not the most important reason. He actually had another reason to find Zhang Jianmin…
