Chapter Thirty-Six: Disappearance

  "There's food and drink here, nothing is lacking, you don't need to worry."

  Qin Feng patted Li Tianyuan's shoulder and said, "Tianyuan, stop messing around outside. If you believe me, find a job to settle down. When I get out, we'll do something together!"

  After being together for almost a year, Qin Feng also saw that Li Tianyuan, although hot-tempered and impulsive, was not a bad person and had a strong sense of justice.

  In the past year or so, Li Tianyuan had helped Qin Feng avoid a lot of trouble. Qin Feng also didn't want to see him go out and fight again, because if something happened again, he wouldn't be going to a minor prison.

  "Brother Feng, I...I don't know how to do anything, if I don't mix with others, what will I eat?"

  Li Tianyuan's face turned bitter upon hearing this, his grandfather who had been dependent on him for survival had also passed away last year. Now Li Tianyuan was a lone wolf, he had already thought it through, as soon as he went out, he would gather his brothers and have a good fight with Nie Yuandong.

  Besides, Chinese New Year is approaching, Li Tianyuan has nothing to do with it, and he doesn't even look for the brothers who were together at the beginning, I'm afraid he doesn't even have money to eat.

  "Isn't it easy to just eat and get along?"

  After hearing the conversation between Qin Feng and Li Tianyuan, Xiao Pangzi interrupted: "Li Lao Da, you go out and find my dad, let him arrange a job for you. I guarantee that you won't be affected by wind or rain. If it can't be done, you come in and scold me!"

  Due to his low combat value, Xie Xuan would have suffered in this cell if he hadn't been well-fed and supplied beforehand. He also knew that Li Tianyuan and Qin Feng had a good relationship, so doing this was actually for Qin Feng's sake.

  "Are you going to ask your dad?"

  Li Tianyuan was hesitant, he had only graduated from elementary school and dropped out of school. Except for extorting money from the game room and school, he never thought about what he could do to make a living.

  "How precious is your mouth? What's wrong with asking someone?"

  Qin Feng glanced at Li Tianyuan and said, "Tianyuan, relying on your own skills to make a living is the right way. Listen to Xiao Pang and go find Uncle Xie. When I get out, I'll teach you some more moves!"

  After being with Li Tian for so long, Qin Feng really didn't want anything to happen to him. Moreover, he would also need some people's help after his release from prison in the future. His master had suffered a lot back then because of traveling alone.

  "Brother Feng, is what you said true?"

  Li Tianyuan's eyes lit up, kids these days, every single one of them grew up watching Shaolin Temple, and have an inexplicable infatuation with kung fu. Li Tianyuan himself had once climbed onto a train to go to Shaolin Temple.

  After a year or so of practicing the Qin Wind style, Li Tianyuan had also learned some basic skills. If he could exchange his honesty for real kung fu in another one or two years, he would be more than happy to do so.

  "Of course it's true, but don't forget what you've learned after you go out!"

  Qin Feng nodded and found that the young men beside him were already impatient with the roasted chicken and Maotai on the table, smiling and saying: "Eat up, eat your fill and don't think about home!"

  There's a saying that goes, "A half-grown son will eat his old father out of house and home." No sooner had Qin Feng finished speaking than the steaming hot roast chicken and braised duck on the table were snatched clean.

  Half an hour later, except for the plastic bag full of oil stains, even the meat threads that fell on the table were picked up and eaten clean.

  The young people fell asleep quickly, and after drinking some wine, the snoring sound in the room started soon. Only Qin Feng and Li Tianyuan couldn't sleep, leaning on the headboard watching the moonlight outside the window.

  "Feng Ge, you still have three years of your sentence left, will you be transferred to prison?"

  Li Tianyuan asked with some concern, recently the policy has changed, after turning 17 years old, he will be sent to prison to serve his sentence. Qin Feng is currently 15 years old, if the policy is implemented, two years later he may be sent away.

  Qin Feng shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Yuanzi, when you go out, don't get into trouble, in this day and age, fighting and being brave is not as good as making some real money..."

  At this point, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his teeth. If it weren't for those few bastards, he might have already bought all the houses in town and opened up the junkyard long ago.

  "Brother Feng, I know, don't worry, I'll wait for you to come out..."

  Li Tianyuan nodded heavily, and the two boys who were originally as incompatible as fire and water finally fell asleep in a daze when the sky outside began to brighten.

  It wasn't even two hours since he fell asleep, the wake-up whistle blew, Li Tianyuan packed up his belongings and was escorted out of the juvenile detention center by the instructor. Since Qin Feng went to Lao Xia's place, he didn't get a chance to bid farewell to him either.

  However, Li Tianyuan did not know that more than half an hour after he left, "Hu Baoguo" walked out of the room with a briefcase.

  "Director Hu, weren't you on duty yesterday?" A People's Armed Police officer at the post saluted "Hu Baoguo".

  "It's Xiao Wang, I had something to deal with yesterday and came over to take care of it. The weather was too cold so I didn't leave, cough cough, still got frozen, damn this freaking weather!"

  "Hu Baoguo" beckoned to the armed police, his voice lower than usual. As he walked to the door to get the key, he coughed and bent over at the waist.

  When he saw "Hu Baoguo" coughing badly, the armed police guarding the door opened it from outside and said: "Mr. Hu, it's almost New Year's, why don't you just rest at home for a few days?"

  "Cough cough, okay, thanks Little Wang."

  "Hu Baoguo" pushed open the door and walked out, all the guards in this prison were teaching classes to prisoners inside, except for the armed police, there was no one else familiar, "Hu Baoguo" wandered out of the gate and quickly disappeared into the streets outside.

  "It's almost Chinese New Year, and you're not even giving out cigarettes as gifts. You've become more stingy than before, Hu."

  The armed police officer at the gate muttered a sentence, but this shift was about to change, and the armed police officer who had been on duty returned to the squadron and soon forgot about it.

  "Old man, you're looking for me?"

  Although he taught Hu Baoguo some martial arts, Zai Yi never acknowledged his disciple status. Moreover, Zai Yi's seniority was much higher than that of Hu Baoguo's father, so Hu Baoguo always addressed him as "Old Master".

  "Well, come in and talk, close the door." Zai Ye, lying on the bed, looked much better than he had in the past few days. However, his illness couldn't withstand cold air, so he was still covered with a thick quilt.

  Hu Baoguo walked into Zai's room, added a lump of coal to the stove, looked around and asked: "Where is that little Qin Feng? Didn't I tell him not to help with cooking during this period and let him watch you?"

  Hu Bao Guo knew that Zai Yi had accepted Qin Feng as his apprentice, and he was also very fond of Qin Feng in daily life. If it weren't for the rules of the sect, he would have liked to let Qin Feng move into his master's place.

  Moreover, due to Qin Feng's recent political examination results, he got the first place in the whole department. Taking advantage of this reputation, Hu Baoguo has been busy helping Qin Feng to get a reduced sentence recently.

  Qin Feng left.

  Zai Ye knew that Qin Feng would disguise himself as Hu Bao Guo and leave the detention center today. Now, the real Hu Bao Guo didn't have any reaction, it must be a success.

  "Oh, it's gone, where did it go?"

  Hu Baoguo casually asked a question, then took out two pumpkins from the corner of the house and stuffed them under the stove, covering them with some ash. Before long, the pumpkins would be roasted to perfection.

  The enthusiastic crowd stared at Hu Baoguo and said: "It's settled, in less than a week or at most a month you can come back!"

  "Oh, you can come back in just one week?"

  Hú Bǎo Guó, who was busy with his work, didn't notice at first, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he froze. It wasn't until several seconds later, when sparks from the stove splashed onto his hand, that he suddenly reacted.

  "Old man, you...you're not joking, are you? This is a prison, how can you just say go out and go out?"

  As for what Zai said, Hu Baoguo didn't have the slightest doubt. Although he didn't know how Qin Feng got out, since the old man said so, then Qin Feng must not be within the jurisdiction of this prison anymore.

  "It's time for lights out at night, and we have to check on people. Oh, old master, how can I put this..."

  Hu Bao Guo was really anxious, a big living person disappeared silently from the prison, this report is extremely serious, removing him as the warden is nothing, but it's feared that at that time even the governor will be implicated.

  And things like this, must be notified to the public security system all over the country. Even if he wasn't caught, Qin Feng's life would be ruined, and he would have to hide from the police every day.

  "It's just a few days out, why so anxious? You're the one in charge, there must be a way."

  Zai Yi smiled and looked at Hu Bao Guo, saying that Hu Bao Guo's martial arts talent was not bad, but his spiritual nature was slightly inferior, which was also the reason why Zai Yi didn't accept him as a disciple back then.

  "What... what can I do?"

  Looking at Zai on the bed, Hu Baoguo was so anxious that the blue veins on his neck were exposed. If it were someone else, Hu Baoguo would have scolded and handcuffed them by now.
