Chapter 195 After the matter was concluded, daily life in Zhangjing City
"That's wonderful! I'm so glad you're all alright!" Wang Yong wiped away his tears and bowed deeply to Shen Yu.
"Mr. Shen, we are deeply grateful! From now on, if you ever need our assistance, our Chongqing 749 Bureau will go through fire and water for you!"
"You're welcome," Shen Yu said.
"Arrange for someone to remove Li Jun's body and give him a proper burial. Then thoroughly clean this hall, sprinkle it with glutinous rice and cinnabar, and seal it with cement. The Nine Chrysanthemum Sect members might come back."
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!" Wang Yong nodded immediately and turned to direct his team members to clean up the scene.
At 11 a.m., Shen Yu led three team members out of the air-raid shelter.
The sunlight outside was blinding, and the team members instinctively squinted and shielded their eyes with their hands. Breathing in the fresh air and feeling the warm sunshine, they felt as if they were in another world.
Residents outside the cordon cheered when they saw people emerge safely.
"It's out! It's out!"
"Thank goodness! They're alright!"
"This gentleman is a miracle worker! He actually managed to rescue the person!"
Wang Yong immediately arranged for an ambulance to take the three team members to the hospital for examination.
He gripped Shen Yu's hand tightly, repeatedly expressing his gratitude: "Mr. Shen, thank you so much! Without you, our team would really be gone."
Shen Yu handed the wooden plaque engraved with the character "叄" to Wang Yong.
"Send this to Lin Jianguo immediately and have him use this clue to investigate all abandoned air-raid shelters, ancient tombs, and old houses across the country. The Nine Chrysanthemum Sect has already set up at least three checkpoints, and there are many more we haven't discovered yet."
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!" Wang Yong carefully took the wooden plaque and put it into a sealed bag.
On the way back, Zhao Rui kept stroking the lightning-struck peach wood sword in his hand, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Shen Yu glanced at him and nodded: "Practice hard. You have good talent and physical fitness. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to stand on your own in the future."
Encouraged by Shen Yu, Zhao Rui was even happier, and his posture straightened considerably.
He secretly resolved to work even harder in the future and not let Mr. Shen down.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Xinlan was playing with the children in the lobby playground.
Seeing Shen Yu return safely, Jiang Xinlan immediately ran over and looked him up and down: "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"It's nothing." Shen Yu smiled and patted her head. "Just a few small zombies, easy to deal with."
"Daddy!" Niannian and Guigui ran over and hugged Shen Yu's legs. "Where have you been? We've been waiting for you for so long!"
"Dad went to take care of some things." Shen Yu bent down and picked up the two children. "Come on, let's take the Yangtze River Cableway and see the scenery of the mountain city from the sky."
"Yay!" the two children cheered happily.
In the afternoon, the family took the Yangtze River Cableway. The cable car slowly glided across the river, offering a bird's-eye view of the entire mountain city.
Where the two rivers meet, the water is emerald green, and high-rise buildings stand side by side on both banks, while cars dart about on the road like ants.
The children pressed their faces against the glass window, excitedly pointing at the view below and chattering away.
That evening, Lin Jianguo called.
"Mr. Shen, thank you so much! I've received the wooden plaque. I'll immediately set up a special task force to conduct a nationwide search!"
"Okay." Shen Yu nodded. "Be careful during the investigation. If you encounter anything you can't handle, call me immediately. The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect is very cunning, so don't let your guard down."
"Understood! Don't worry!" Lin Jianguo quickly agreed.
After spending two days in Chongqing, Shen Yujiang and Xinlan reluctantly took the two little ones back to Beijing.
On my first morning back in Beijing, I was awakened by the chirping of larks in the courtyard.
Since retiring, Jiang Zhenbang has taken to raising birds and playing chess in his spare time.
When Shen Yu stepped out of the room, Jiang Zhenbang was already strolling around the yard with a birdcage in his hand.
The lark in the cage flapped its wings, emitting a clear and melodious call that was even louder and more pleasant than before.
"Awake?" Jiang Zhenbang looked up at him, pointed to the chessboard on the stone table, "Come here quickly, I've set it up, I'm sure I can beat you today."
Shen Yu smiled and walked over to sit down: "Okay, I'll play three games with you."
On the chessboard, the Chu River and Han border are clearly defined. Jiang Zhenbang, playing red, moves first and moves with great speed and skill.
He prefers an aggressive style of play, opening with a central cannon, then moving his knight and chariot in one fluid motion. Shen Yu, on the other hand, plays with composure, responding to each move as it comes. His seemingly ordinary moves conceal countless hidden strategies.
In the middle of the first game, Jiang Zhenbang's horse was trapped by Shen Yu's rook, unable to move forward or backward.
He frowned and thought for a long time, then scratched his head and said, "No, no, I made a mistake just now. Let's start over."
Shen Yu didn't expose him, and smiled as he put the chess pieces back in their original positions: "Okay, let's start again."
In the second game, Jiang Zhenbang learned from his mistakes and played much more cautiously.
The two played back and forth for over half an hour. Finally, Shen Yu deliberately left a flaw, allowing Jiang Zhenbang's cannon to hit his own king.
"I won! I won!" Jiang Zhenbang was as happy as a child, slapping his thigh and standing up. "How about that? I told you my chess skills had improved!"
"Yes, you've improved a lot." Shen Yu nodded with a smile and helped him tidy up the chess pieces.
Jiang Zhenbang snorted, but secretly leaned close to his daughter's ear as she handed fruit to Jiang Xinlan and whispered:
"I know Shen Yu was being lenient with me. That child is so thoughtful."
At 10:00 a.m. sharp, Zhao Rui arrived at the door.
He was dressed in a clean black training uniform, with the lightning-struck peach wood sword given to him by Shen Yuzhi at his waist, the tassel of the sword swaying gently with his movements.
Compared to before his trip to Chongqing, he was much more composed, and his eyes were more determined.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Jiang." Zhao Rui saluted, took out a folder and a stack of yellow talismans from his backpack.
"This is the work report from Bureau 749 last week, and also the talismans I drew these past few days. Could you please take a look?"
Shen Yu took the talisman papers and looked through them one by one.
Although the cinnabar patterns on the talisman paper were still a bit crooked and not smooth enough, the clear flow of yang energy could already be seen, making it much better than the first time it was drawn.
"Great progress." Shen Yu pointed to the corner of one of the talismans.
"It's right here. The talisman head is positioned a little off-center, and the yang energy will leak out from here. Next time you draw it, be more steady with your wrist."
"Yes! I understand!"
Zhao Rui immediately took out his notebook and began to write it down carefully, his pen flying across the paper. He now treated every word Shen Yu said as a sacred decree, reviewing it several times before going to bed each night.
Just then, Niannian and Guigui ran in from outside, each holding a small rabbit-shaped sugar painting. Jiang Zhenbang had bought them these when he took them out to play.
"Dad! Look! My sugar painting is bigger than my brother's!" Niannian said proudly, holding up her sugar painting.
"Mine is the best!" Gui Gui said defiantly, holding her sugar painting even higher.
As the two children were arguing, Gui Gui slipped, and the sugar painting in her hand fell to the ground with a "smash," shattering into several pieces.
Gui Gui was stunned for a moment, looked at the broken sugar painting on the ground, her mouth trembled, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Waaaaah... My sugar painting..."
Niannian also stopped arguing, looking at her younger brother's sad face, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Shen Yu walked over, squatted down, and patted Gui Gui's head.
He gathered a wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips and gently brushed it across the sugar painting fragments on the ground. The fragments slowly floated up and pieced themselves back together, transforming into a complete little rabbit sugar painting without a single crack.
Gui Gui stared wide-eyed, tears still streaming down her face, but she forgot to cry.
He reached out and took the sugar painting, touching it in disbelief: "Wow! Daddy's amazing! The sugar painting is done again!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Niannian clapped her hands happily.
Shen Yu smiled and ruffled the two children's hair: "Be careful, don't let any more fall out."
As they were talking, Shen Yu's cell phone suddenly rang urgently in his pocket.
The screen displayed the name "Lin Jianguo," and it was an emergency call in red.
Shen Yu frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Shen! Something's happened!"
