Chapter 42 License Plate Number

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 License Plate Number

That day, Chen Feng changed his clothes in the locker room and waved goodbye to Lin Hao.

Both had each other on WeChat, so keeping in touch wasn’t an issue.

Then, carrying his bag of clothes, he stood at the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall.

After one last look at this Sub Martial Arts Hall, Chen Feng knew he probably wouldn’t come back again.

"Let’s go."

As if speaking to himself, he started walking and soon reached the bus stop.

Perhaps it was good luck, but the bus arrived just in time.

It took only a few seconds to board successfully, and Chen Feng found a window seat to sit down.

He was still scheduled to work at the supermarket later.

Even after becoming a Core Student, Chen Feng hadn’t yet thought about giving up this job.

After all, being a Core Student meant free training in the Martial Arts Sect.

For everyday living necessities such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, he still needed to fend for himself.

"As Cao Tong said, as long as one understands the Entry-level principles of the Martial Arts Sect, they can become an Official Disciple of the Yanwu Gym and work there."

"In other words, I could have an official job at the gym and get paid..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Feng had some ideas.

His physical condition was getting stronger every day, prompting an increasing appetite, especially for high-nutrient foods.

So, at least for now.

It would be good to continue to rely on the supermarket job to get by.

And in the future, once he becomes an Official Disciple of the Yanwu Gym, switching to a job with better pay wouldn’t be bad.

With this thought, Chen Feng nodded to himself.

Get stronger, make money.

His plans for the future remained the same.

Click!

Subsequently, the bus stopped at the station, and more passengers boarded.

As the empty seats dwindled, Chen Feng just sat by the window, quietly watching the passing scenery.

"Did you hear? Someone died on Little Stone Street last night."

"Ah? How did they die?"

"I don’t know. I heard that when they found the body this morning, the internal organs were gone, probably cut out and sold by the murderer."

"Really?..."

Two elderly people in the seat in front spoke in low voices. Their conversation wasn’t loud, but Chen Feng could still roughly hear it.

Another body missing the internal organs had been discovered?

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the image of the crimson eyes he had seen in the alley a few days ago came to mind.

His increasing strength, coupled with the monster not appearing again, almost made him forget about it.

But now...

Curiosity stirred in his heart, and Chen Feng took out his phone, quickly opening the local city news app.

He deliberately typed in keywords like internal organs, body, and Little Stone Street.

Several news articles popped up.

[Body Missing Organs Shockingly Discovered on Little Stone Street!]

[A resident discovered the deceased when taking out the trash in the morning; they approached thinking the victim was unconscious, only to find the grisly scene and were startled, nearly suffering a cerebral contusion.]

[The Security Bureau has intervened in the investigation, and residents in the area are advised not to panic....]

As title after title appeared, Chen Feng browsed through three to five articles.

The content of the articles was mostly the same, with some including pictures of the scene.

Although there were no photos of the body, the dried blood spatter on the walls caught Chen Feng’s attention.

"It looks similar..."

He felt that the bloodstains at this scene looked remarkably similar to what he saw that morning near the residential complex alley.

It seemed to be caused by a massive force tearing through flesh.

"Perhaps, it’s also caused by that monster?"

A bold guess surfaced in his mind, and the more Chen Feng thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

He wasn’t overly fearful.

Rather, he felt more alert and pressured to become stronger.

He didn’t want to encounter the monster.

Therefore, he hoped to quickly gain the strength to defeat it.

.....

Half an hour later.

Chen Feng got off the bus and arrived at Yonglefu Supermarket.

"Ding Dong!"

"Welcome to your arrival."

The mechanical voice sounded as someone entered, and Aunt He, who was playing with her phone behind the cash register, looked up.

"Aunt He."

"Ah, Xiao Feng, why are you here so early today?"

She was somewhat surprised and subconsciously glanced at the time on her phone.

Three forty.

There were still twenty minutes left until the shift change.

"There was nothing special today, so I just swung by on my way."

Chen Feng explained.

He left earlier than usual today because of the assessment.

Not wanting to go back to the apartment complex again and bother, and since it was only twenty minutes anyway, he might as well come here directly.

"Ah, too early, too early."

"You go over there and hang out for a bit, come and take over when it’s time."

Aunt He felt a bit embarrassed, but Chen Feng didn’t insist and quickly went over to the sofa area behind the shelves to rest and wait.

After a while, the supermarket’s welcoming mechanical voice sounded again.

He heard a familiar voice.

"Sister Zhang, thanks for the trouble today, swapping shifts with me."

"Humph, no problem, it’s all the same morning or evening."

"Thanks, Sister Zhang, Xiao Yao, hurry and call out."

"Aunt He, Aunt Zhang."

"Ah, Xiao Yao is so obedient."

The conversation quickly ended, and then Chen Feng saw Xu Yao, with her backpack on, walking through the shelves area towards him.

A white short-sleeved shirt, denim long pants, and somewhat yellowed white low-cut canvas shoes.

Ordinary attire, but the little girl had fair skin, a delicate and pretty face, and long black hair tied behind her head, looking very neat.

"Chen, Brother Chen Feng."

Seemingly surprised to see him here, Xu Yao hesitated, but still called out obediently.

"Yeah, Xiao Yao."

Smiling and nodding, Chen Feng checked the time and stood up ready for the shift as it was about due.

Suddenly, his robust frame grew taller inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye, he cast a shadow over Xu Yao’s line of sight.

Noticing she was still somewhat shy, Chen Feng ruffled her hair.

With no resistance, he smiled and walked over to the cash register.

Before long, the supermarket gradually quieted down, and he greeted Li Hongxia.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks, either collecting money or cleaning.

Xu Yao was very quiet in the sofa area, with the occasional sound of a ballpoint pen clicking.

Gradually, the night deepened.

Customers came and went, and Chen Feng’s eyebrows raised as that sense of malice arose in his perception again.

"Here it comes again."

Looking out the window of the supermarket, a black car slowly approached and stopped in a parking space beside a street light.

The license plate was the same as the one in the morning, and two figures, one tall and one fat, were sitting inside.

As they locked eyes, perhaps aware of his gaze,

The two pretended to look away casually, each lighting a cigarette.

It appeared they were waiting for someone, but Chen Feng knew the malice originated from them.

"What exactly is it for?"

Chen Feng stayed alert and averted his gaze.

He had initially speculated that Xu Dongtai wanted to interfere before the assessment.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

"Could it be that I’ve unintentionally offended someone?"

Chen Feng frowned and couldn’t help but start recalling past experiences.

He shook his head silently, his thoughts scattered.

Until finally, his phone buzzed with a vibration.

A message arrived just in time.

[Lin Hao: The license plate number you wanted me to check, I’ve found it.]
