“Okay, I’ll go back now,” Ding Chen replied. He stopped paying attention to the unfamiliar luxury car and turned around to return to the courtyard.
Huo Tian didn’t care about an unfamiliar car either. Her figure quickly disappeared through the door of the tailor shop.
In the car not far away, Xi Cheng kept staring at the small door.
Xi Cheng’s eyes welled up when he saw the scene of Ding Chen and Huo Tian getting along. The hands on his legs trembled unconsciously.
The reason Xi Cheng ca to the urban village today was because after going through the 13 suspicious identities, he realized that the one that had the highest likelihood to the one he had used in the past was Huo Cheng.
Xi Cheng recalled the scene earlier today when the leader of the search team, Chen Ming, ca to report the results of their investigation…
Chen Ming was an extrely capable person in his work. He investigated the 13 identities previously selected in the shortest ti possible.
Back then, Xi Cheng had a strange sense of familiarity with the na ‘Huo Cheng’. Chen Ming hadn’t overlooked this detail and disseminated the investigations of the other people to his subordinates while he placed additional emphasis on investigating the man called ‘Huo Cheng’.
Today, as soon as Chen Ming found out the results, he ca to report to Xi Cheng.
He stood in front of Xi Cheng and explained succinctly, “According to my investigation, this Mr. Huo Cheng ca to China 20 years ago. Back then, he seed to have made so enemies and was unable to get a long-term and stable job. In the beginning, in a hotel in the urban village, his usual work was to help others as a diator…”
Fearing that his boss who was born in high society didn’t know what being a diator ant, Chen Ming even explained in detail, “Back then, the security in China wasn’t as bad as it is now. The urban village was also a no man’s land with a chaotic mix of people. There were many small gangs and hooligans. The lives of ordinary citizens were very difficult, that’s why they had the diator profession…”
Chen Ming wanted to continue explaining, but Xi Cheng waved his hand. He seed to have sunk into so kind of recollection and naturally continued Chen Ming’s story.
“Ordinary citizens who live in the urban village, no matter how careful they are, would occasionally offend those gang mbers. As long as the gang mbers were offended, they would suffer the gang’s revenge. Even if the diator doesn’t join any gang, for those who have prestige in the neighborhood, the gangs will give them face. The diators will act as a bridge between the ordinary citizens and the gangs to help the ordinary citizens diate things. If there are conflicts between ordinary citizens or small gangs, they will sotis look for diators to help settle things…”
Chen Ming closed his mouth and looked at Xi Cheng in surprise. He realized that Xi Cheng’s expression was very complicated. He knew very well that this person called Huo Cheng could very well be the boss’s previous identity.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, did you rember anything?”
Xi Cheng shook his head and leaned back in his chair dejectedly, saying, “No, I don’t rember anything. Everything related to diators is more like common sense that has been engraved in my mind. As long as I ntion this word, I know what it is.”
Looking at Xi Cheng’s dejected expression, Chen Ming quickly said, “Sir, you don’t have to be disheartened. According to my investigation, ever since China started to take care of public security, the various small gangs in the urban village have disappeared. The diators slowly retreated from the stage of history and the younger generation don’t know what a diator is. Since you know so much about this, it ans that you’ve lived here for a long ti. Even if you don’t rember it, it proves that you’re very likely to be the diator nad Huo Cheng.”
Upon hearing Chen Ming’s words, Xi Cheng made himself get his act together and asked, “That Huo Cheng, other than him being the urban village’s diator, did you manage to find any other information about him?”
Chen Ming imdiately said, “That Mr. Huo Cheng lived in the urban village for a long ti.. Not only did he beco a diator, but he also fell in love and got married to a girl in the urban village…”
