Luo Yan was also at a loss.
Ever since his 'Qi Gazing Eyes' had mutated into the 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye'.
He had gained a photographic memory.
But he did not remember ever meeting the director of the Local Security Bureau.
Now that the man had asked.
Out of courtesy, Luo Yan answered concisely, "I'm visiting."
Visiting?
Chen Kang'an's eyes shifted and landed on Zeng Shan.
He understood at once.
He waved his hand, sending the security officers away.
Then he smiled at Zeng Shan and said, "Classmate Zeng, could you tell me why you resorted to violence?"
Zeng Shan snorted and immediately recounted everything truthfully, including how Chen Xinhou had looked down on everyone and verbally insulted him.
Afterward.
Chen Xinhou said impatiently, "Uncle, why are you wasting your breath on him?"
"Hurry up and cuff this brat."
Before he had finished speaking.
His vision suddenly went black.
Slap!
A crisp slap rang out.
Chen Xinhou was struck until his head spun and his vision blurred.
He thought it was Zeng Shan again.
When he looked carefully.
The one who had hit him was actually his uncle, Chen Kang'an.
"Uncle, what are you..."
"Shut up!"
Chen Kang'an cut off his nephew.
First, he smiled warmly at Zeng Shan and said, "Classmate Zeng, you hit him well."
Then he turned and walked toward his nephew.
"Chen Xinhou, Chen Xinhou. You're a hopeless fool."
"I brought you into the bureau because I wanted to discipline you on behalf of your father."
"But look at you."
"You've been throwing your uncle's name around and throwing your weight about everywhere."
"If Classmate Zeng hadn't hit you today, I would have taught you a lesson myself."
With that, he delivered another slap.
Chen Xinhou's face immediately swelled like a pig's head.
Pointing at his nose, Chen Kang'an said, "You, get back to the factory."
"You're no longer part of the Local Security Bureau."
"That'll save you from embarrassing me outside!"
Chen Xinhou still wanted to say something, but Chen Kang'an shot him a glare.
He instantly did not dare utter another word.
He left with his tail between his legs.
Before leaving.
He glanced at Luo Yan.
His instincts told him.
His uncle's sudden, complete change in attitude.
Had to be related to this student.
To be honest.
If not for his uncle, Chen Kang'an, he would not even have known that there was an outsider at the Zeng Family's home.
There was no helping it.
Luo Yan was far too low-key.
He had simply never paid attention to him.
Chen Xinhou could not help wondering.
Who exactly was this guy?
To make his uncle slap him twice.
The Zengs were stunned as well.
Especially Zeng Shan's parents.
Just moments ago, the Local Security Bureau had been swaggering in and threatening to take their son away.
How had things changed in the blink of an eye?
The director had become so reasonable, and even punished his own kin for justice?
At this moment, Chen Kang'an smiled warmly at Zeng Shan's father.
"I'm very sorry. My thoughtless nephew has caused you trouble."
Father Zeng hurriedly said, "Director, you're too kind."
Chen Kang'an's eyes shifted, and he said, "I heard Classmate Zeng say just now that your health isn't good?"
"Then don't go back to the factory."
"Our bureau happens to be short a guard. If you don't mind, why not come work for us?"
"Although it's only a guard position, it's an established post."
"Your medical treatment and medicine can be reimbursed."
"As for work points, you'll get 1,500. That's still 500 more than at the factory."
"What do you think?"
Father Zeng was overjoyed.
The guard's job was easy, medical treatment and medicine could be reimbursed, and the work points were 500 higher than at the factory.
Where could he find such a good opportunity?
He was instantly moved to tears of gratitude.
Chen Kang'an glanced at Luo Yan again, then smiled and said, "We still have work to do, so we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
Zeng Shan's parents hurriedly escorted Chen Kang'an out of the alley.
Once they reached the vehicle.
The adjutant asked, "Director, who is that Classmate Luo?"
Chen Kang'an smiled. "A benefactor."
Everything he had done was for Luo Yan's sake.
He wanted to leave Luo Yan with a good impression.
Yet from beginning to end, Chen Kang'an had not said a single word to Luo Yan about it.
That was precisely what made him shrewd.
He did not want Luo Yan to feel that he was doing him a favor.
Even if Luo Yan saw through it, it did not matter.
Some things could be understood without being spoken aloud.
That left room for maneuver.
And room for future possibilities.
Besides, this favor was nothing worth mentioning.
The Luo Family had lost a son and still had not held it against anyone.
What did this little thing he had done amount to?
Today's affair.
At most, it could only be considered a stepping stone.
When Luo Yan showed signs of taking flight in the future, that would be when he truly exerted himself.
Chen Kang'an considered his ability to handle affairs ordinary.
But his eye for people was excellent!
The Zeng Family.
What had begun as a disaster had taken a turn for the better, with the storm passing and the sky clearing.
Father Zeng had even obtained an easy job for nothing.
It was something they never could have imagined beforehand.
Mother Zeng patted her chest and said she had to go offer thanks to the gods.
At that moment, Aunt Wang came over and took Luo Yan's hand. "Oh my, young man."
"The moment I saw you, I knew you weren't an ordinary person."
"Do you have a partner? Should Aunt Wang introduce someone to you?"
Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, growing somewhat impatient.
His gaze naturally swept over the woman's neck.
With the hand carrying his sword, he gently pushed his thumb against the sword guard.
The blade slid out of its sheath, then returned.
Just like Luo Yan's mood at that moment.
The moment Zeng Shan saw this, he hurriedly drove Aunt Wang away to keep her from irritating Luo Yan.
Then he said, "Dad, Mom."
"We managed to avoid disaster today, all thanks to Luo Yan."
"Mom, hurry up and make several jianbing guozi for him."
"On the way here, I promised Luo Yan that your jianbing guozi were unbelievably delicious."
Zeng Shan was not stupid.
He understood why Chen Kang'an's attitude had suddenly changed.
Although he did not know why Chen Kang'an was so courteous to Luo Yan.
He knew that he had avoided going to the Local Security Bureau today, while his father had gained an easy job.
It was all thanks to Luo Yan.
When Father Zeng heard this, he said, "How can we invite a classmate to eat jianbing guozi? We're so happy today. Let's eat out."
Zeng Shan knew a little about Luo Yan's temperament. Upon hearing this, he shook his head.
"Old Luo doesn't like crowded places. We'd better stay home."
"Mom, go cook."
Luo Yan nodded, indicating his agreement.
Mother Zeng said, "All right, then. You entertain your classmate. Mom will go make the jianbing guozi."
Zeng Bao hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll help you."
Living room.
Luo Yan sat down.
Zeng Shan said sincerely, "Old Luo, thank you for today."
"Counting today, you've helped me three times."
"I won't say anything more."
"If you ever need me, just ask."
"If I so much as frown, I'm no man!"
Luo Yan glanced at him, then answered with his usual economy of words. "Mm."
Soon, the jianbing guozi were served.
Luo Yan was not afraid of the heat and picked one up.
He took a bite.
He felt the rich but not greasy meat filling wrapped beneath the pancake.
There were also tangy-sweet bits of apple.
The fruit's fresh fragrance made the jianbing guozi's flavors even more layered.
As he ate the snack, Luo Yan closed his eyes.
It was as if he had returned to the days before the 'Giant Beast Calamity'.
This flavor.
He had not tasted it in three years.
"How is it?" Zeng Shan asked.
Luo Yan opened his eyes and looked at Mother Zeng. "Auntie, you made it really delicious."
Mother Zeng beamed and stuffed several more into Luo Yan's plate. "If you like them, eat more."
"Come back with Zeng Shan more often during your holidays."
"Auntie will make you delicious food."
In a daze, Luo Yan seemed to see a blurry figure.
"When you're on break, hurry home. Mom will make you something delicious."
Luo Yan's vision suddenly blurred.
He lowered his head and silently ate the savory crepe.
As he ate,
he found the crepe tasted a little salty.
