"Taibai, you're coming by car, can you give me a ride?" When Zhang Taibai left the 'Big Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant' and walked to the parking lot of the restaurant, Alex's voice came from behind.

"No problem, where are you going?" Zhang Taibai agreed directly.

"It's near your store, let's talk about it on the way." Alex patted Zhang Taibai on the shoulder and said.

“ok！”

Zhang Taibai said it didn't matter.

In a short time, the two of them were already in the car and driving back to Brooklyn.

Not long after he got on the road, Zhang Taibai suddenly asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the gray M3 that just parked on the left side of the third row behind me is your car, Fifth Senior Brother——"

"Ahem, ahem—"

Alex coughed dryly directly, to hide his embarrassment, because he didn't expect Zhang Taibai to actually see his car, and he said it so directly. So he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your guy's eyes are really sharp, you can see this." ”

"So Senior Brother Five, you obviously came by car, but you want me to give you a ride, it's not because you want to be lazy, right?" Zhang Taibai asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't this just the time to talk to you? I haven't seen you since that day, I haven't answered your phone calls, I haven't found anyone in your store, and if you hadn't known about it today, we'd all wonder if you're missing too. ”

"I'm fine, it's just that I couldn't accept the death of the third senior brother emotionally at that time, and I was afraid that I would do something irrational, so I suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye......"

When Alex speaks, he naturally refers to the day of the explosion.

At that time, after Zhang Taibai saw the bodies of the third senior brother Hua Tianwen and the sixth senior brother Yu Yi, he left suddenly, only said hello to Rex, and never showed up after that.

Today was Alex's first time they had seen Zhang Taibai since that day.

"You don't have to explain, I understand." Alex sighed, "Like you, I can also say that I was brought in by the third senior brother, and I have experienced everything you have experienced. Moreover, with the character of the third senior brother, let alone those of us who have known him for so long, even if it is a new apprentice who has only known him for a few days, they will be impressed by his personality charm......"

Alex is not exaggerating, just stating a fact.

Like Zhang Taibai, even since he joined the Luofeng Martial Arts Pavilion, he has only been in contact with the third senior brother Hua Tianwen for more than half a year, and he basically only meets once or twice a week, at most more than three times, and under normal circumstances, it is just an ordinary friend relationship at most.

But as Alex said, Hua Tianwen is really special.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, Hua Tianwen couldn't compare to any of these personal disciples, but in terms of affinity, the rest of them were not as good as Hua Tianwen combined.

This also makes the relationship between all the brothers and sisters very close to Hua Tianwen, and even those apprentices who are not personal disciples treat Hua Tianwen as half a teacher.

In all fairness, although the death of the sixth senior brother Yu Yi also made Zhang Taibai a little sad, and he would wait for an opportunity to avenge him, it definitely did not reach the point where it would make him emotionally close to getting out of control, and what really made him like that was the death of the third senior brother Hua Tianwen.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Alex took a deep breath, then changed his words and said, "You said before that you think that the mastermind behind this time may not be the 'Ten Rings Gang', so do you have any other suspicions?" ”

"Yes, there is, but there is no evidence at present, just some possible situations are inferred from basic logic...... However, I think that if you want to find out the truth of the matter, you must find out the whereabouts of Master. Zhang Taibai looked ahead.

"Is it logical—"

Alex groaned, and at the same time showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and suddenly looked at Zhang Taibai with a frightened gaze, "You shouldn't mean it?!! ”

"I didn't say anything, Fifth Senior Brother, don't look at me with that kind of look." Zhang Taibai said without squinting, "I believe that as long as we don't give up the pursuit, the truth will always come one day, but it will take some time...... The third senior brother will not die in vain. ”

"Yes, that's right." Alex calmed his emotions for a moment, but he could tell that he hadn't completely recovered from the horror he had just had.

When the afterglow swept to Alex's appearance, Zhang Taibai was not surprised.

Because, when he first speculated on the possibilities of this matter from another angle, he was also taken aback by his own thoughts, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Just like Alex now.

……

After dropping Alex off at a subway station near the café, Mr. Zhang returned to the store alone, the first time he had returned since leaving the martial arts hall that day.

"Oh! Oh, my God! Boss, you're finally back, thank God! Zhang Taibai had just stepped into the door of the café with one foot when Old Earle's exclamation came from the cash register.

Zhang Taibai smiled helplessly, "Don't make such a fuss, Earl, I don't know, I really think something happened to me." ”

"Yes, yes, boss, it's good for you to come back, I won't talk nonsense." Old Earl looked delighted.

A few days ago, Zhang Taibai called him, saying that there might be something going on in the next few days, and he wouldn't come back to the store, so he asked him to help keep an eye on it.

This is a very normal thing, and when Zhang Taibai didn't come for a few days when he went out for a few days, he was also asked to take care of things in the store temporarily.

But when he noticed the news that a Chinese martial arts gym in Flushing had been destroyed in the explosion, and then thought of the tone in which Zhang Taibai called him, he felt that something was wrong. Especially after Alex came to the store to find Zhang Taibai and confirmed to him that the martial arts gym that exploded was the martial arts gym where Zhang Taibai learned kung fu, he began to worry about Zhang Taibai.

I'm afraid that Zhang Taibai, the boss, will do something irrational.

Because he knows very well that his boss is a very emotional person.

Fortunately, Zhang Taibai is now back safely, and it looks like he has returned to normal, which makes him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss, you're finally back!" After Old Earl exclaimed, Maiserin's chick also noticed Zhang Taibai at the door and ran over with a look of surprise.

Other employees also waved hello to Zhang Taibai.

"Okay, don't look at me like an alien, I'm just going out for a few days to relax, it's okay, don't worry." Zhang Taibai smiled and asked, "In the past few days since I was away, how was the store, nothing happened, right?" ”

"Everything is normal, I'll do things, boss, don't worry!" Old Earl patted his chest.

"That's good, I'll invite everyone to have dinner together when we get off work, treat everyone, and if it's okay, let's go together." Zhang Taibai said with a smile.

“Yeah！！ Long live the boss!! ”
