After Luo Dali left.
The entire riverbank was just Chen Xiao alone.
He was still walking upstream.
But after a long while, Chen Xiao suddenly felt something wasn't quite right.
It was that today he didn't feel tired at all.
To know at this moment, Chen Xiao had been walking alone for more than an hour and had also walked with Luo Dali for a while.
Though it's not like it's a real physical exertion, his ankle and the soles of his feet should have been a little uncomfortable.
But now he only felt his feet were still very relaxed, even he was confident that if he ran back quickly, he wouldn't feel tired.
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Xiao immediately tried it out.
So he ran back quickly, without a hint of rest during the period.
Soon, when he returned to his starting point again, Chen Xiao was stunned.
Not tired!
Not tired at all!
Even though his skin already had a lot of sweat, his mental state and body were not related to tiredness at all.
Chen Xiao was suddenly happy.
Could this time's calendar reward have hidden many attributes too?
Like physical fitness, like brain thinking? These were genuinely improved.
Chen Xiao patted his chest, eyes scanning around, as if wanting to find someone to share the joy of the moment.
But as his gaze swept across the riverbank, Chen Xiao froze again.
"Damn... Where's my motorcycle?"
"Screw you, even dare to steal a cop's motorcycle!"
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded, he never expected that in broad daylight his motorcycle would be snatched away.
This damned 2006, it's simply the era of rampant motorcycle thieves!
Chen Xiao ran up the embankment, but unfortunately the motorcycle was already missing.
However, there was a very cool drifting mark on the ground instead.
Hmm... Stole his motorcycle, and even rode his beloved little motorcycle on the ground for a flashy drift?
This behavior was kind of interesting!
Chen Xiao called Luo Dali, the latter: "Hey, Brother Chen, don't rush me, I'm onto something here."
"No need for clues, my motorcycle was stolen."
"What the hell? Your motorcycle was stolen!"
"Yes, that idiot even drifted on the ground."
"Damn, this is literally crapping on our heads. No way, wait for me, I'm coming right now!"
Luo Dali angrily hung up the phone, went out, and drove his Santana quickly over.
Not long after, when Chen Xiao saw Luo Dali again, he was accompanied by two young guys.
The latter two looked about eighteen or nineteen, one had long hair, the other had a crew cut.
Luo Dali got out of the car and quickly asked, "Brother Chen, did you see who had the nerve?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, looking at the unfamiliar duo, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are these two?"
"Oh, forgot to tell you, these are two little brothers I recently acquainted. Come, this is Brother Chen, greet him."
In the alleyways of 2006, who knows how many were obsessed with a movie named "Young and Dangerous."
As soon as Chen Xiao heard Luo Dali's tone and looked at the two's outfits, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You two aren't called Haonan and Chicken Chiu, are you?"
The crew-cut teenager quickly smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you got it wrong, I'm not called Chicken Chiu, I'm called Xiaoji. This is my cousin, his name has a 'Nan' in it, but everyone calls him Xiaoji Knife Man."
"Xiaoji Knife Man? You play with knives?" Chen Xiao asked in surprise.
Luo Dali nodded: "Yes, Xiaoji Knife Man makes knives, and they're quite exquisite, so earlier I was asking him. But Xiaoji Knife Man says he hasn't seen the type we described, needs to ask someone he knows for confirmation."
"Hm." Chen Xiao replied, only for Xiaoji to start muttering as he stared at the drift marks on the ground:
"Looking at these marks, they kind of resemble Lighter's technique."
"What do you mean? Who's Lighter?" Luo Dali quickly asked.
Xiaoji said: "Lighter is a subordinate of Qiao Ye and Jiang Bo, he likes playing with motorcycles, after every race he does a drift, the drift ends up looking like this, though I don't quite understand."
"Subordinate of Qiao Ye and Jiang Bo, huh, no wonder. But, why is he called Lighter?" Luo Dali's interest seemed oddly misplaced.
Xiaoji said: "Because Lighter's dad specializes in making lighters."
Chen Xiao was somewhat speechless: "Alright, since we know who did it, let's go find them."
Luo Dali tugged at his sleeve, beckoning to his little brothers: "Get in the car, today I'll show you the world."
Xiaoji Knife Man's eyes immediately sparkled, asked in a deep voice: "Brother Dali, do we need to go back and grab knives? With knives in hand, I can slice them all up alone!"
Chen Xiao instantly locked his eyes.
He felt this guy called Xiaoji Knife Man was dangerous!
How did Luo Dali end up mixing with such a reckless youth?
Without thinking much, Chen Xiao immediately spoke: "Alright, we're just getting the motorcycle back. Oh, Dali, doesn't your phone have a camera? The pixels should be good, take a picture of this mark, it's evidence."
"Got it."
Luo Dali gleefully took a picture, but it was clear there was some disappointment in Xiaoji Knife Man's eyes.
He didn't understand why Chen Xiao and Luo Dali, being the elder brothers they were, would talk about evidence, such a low-worded matter.
After Luo Dali took the picture, the car sped off towards Phoenix Street.
Phoenix Street was not only the base for Chen Xiao and Luo Dali, but also the base for Qiao Ye and his group.
The difference being, Chen Xiao and Luo Dali were purely into eating, drinking, and having fun, whereas Qiao Ye was conducting some scam operations on Phoenix Street, so his base was a game parlor.
Upon arrival, Jiang Bo, who was overseeing the place inside, immediately noticed Chen Xiao and Luo Dali.
Jiang Bo came over with a smile on his face: "Yo, Brother Chen, Dali, what wind brought you two here!"
Luo Dali, with his head held high, grabbed Jiang Bo's shoulder, the latter instinctively frowned, stared at Luo Dali's hand, asking with a smile: "Hehe, Dali, what's the meaning of this?"
"Where's Lighter?"
Jiang Bo squinted his eyes: "Who knows where he ran off to, why... The way you sound, today you're not here to give support, but to look for trouble with my brother?"
Luo Dali directly took out his phone and opened the photo: "My Brother Chen's motorcycle was stolen, these flashy drift marks were made by Lighter, right?"
Jiang Bo glanced at it and laughed: "There are countless people who play with motorcycles, why say it was my brother Lighter who did it?"
Chen Xiao was observing Jiang Bo's expression all along.
When Jiang Bo said that, Chen Xiao was already certain that Lighter was the one ordered by Qiao Ye and Jiang Bo to steal the motorcycle.
So Chen Xiao was not polite, directly extended his hand to pat Jiang Bo on the shoulder.
This pat was filled with anger from Chen Xiao.
But what Chen Xiao didn't expect was, with that pat, Jiang Bo actually kneeled directly on the ground.
"Bang!"
Jiang Bo's knees solidly touched the floor, his face immediately twisted in pain.
Beside him, Luo Dali's hand was still suspended in the air, looking at Chen Xiao with a face full of astonishment.
But Chen Xiao himself was stunned too, until Xiaoji suddenly shouted from behind: "Damn, Brother Chen, what strength is this, patting Jiang Bo made him kneel? That's Jiang Bo, heard he's good at fighting!"
Xiaoji Knife Man's eyes also filled with brilliance again at this moment, he stared at Chen Xiao fiercely, as if waiting for him to give an order, with which he would immediately go up and fight.
But before Chen Xiao's order could be given, the others in Jiang Bo's place had already surrounded them.
"F*** you, daring to come to our game parlor for trouble, looking to die!"
"Brothers, Jiang Bo got hit, grab your weapons!"
Luo Dali also reacted, angrily pointed at those who were coming over and shouted: "Damn it, I'm standing here today, I dare anyone who's reckless to come over!"
"Screw you, Luo Dali, besides a few stinking bucks, what else do you have? Brothers, hit him!"
The bunch wasn't fazed by Luo Dali's threats, rushing over like madmen.
