Chapter 599: Chapter 161: Level Jump Insta-kill! Divine Chosen Trait, Yang God Consumes the Soul (Seeking Daily, Monthly Passes)_4
Xu Shu didn’t dwell much on this issue, as long as Narrow Sleeve Guanyin was sufficiently submissive, the more powerful it was, the more useful it would be for him.
He looked back and saw that, indeed, whether it was his foster mother, or the widow Gu Ru and her daughters whom he had picked up, all were obedient.
Considering the loud noise from the fight outside, they had wisely stayed inside the house without even opening the door to check.
This saved Xu Shu a lot of time in explaining.
The bodies had been dealt with, so there was no need to call the police.
But could they continue living here?
Three people had died here, did others from Cao Gang know they had come to his house?
Xu Shu thought it over and decided it was too risky.
He needed to withdraw first.
Yes, the safest option was to relocate his foster parents to the Gu Family!
That would be perfect since he wanted to talk to Gu Pan to understand some things.
He could kill two birds with one stone.
No sooner said than done.
Xu Shu had his foster mother and Gu Ru pack up, and then they left under the cover of night.
Before leaving, he made one last move.
First, Xu Shu used Black Widow’s innate skill, "Master in Architecture," to meticulously repair the smashed door and all the dents in the walls.
This made it completely unnoticeable that the three men had fought here.
However, he couldn’t fix the damaged table.
Xu Shu found it strange; theoretically, fixing a door and fixing a table should follow the same principle.
But it just wouldn’t work.
Because the door was part of the building, "Master in Architecture" could fix it;
A dining table, however, is a piece of furniture, not part of a building.
Different concepts, no repair?
This was a bit metaphysical. Xu Shu himself thought it was absurd, but there was no helping it, the facts were right there.
After altering the scene, Xu Shu then found the night shift property manager.
He told them that thieves had broken into his house and stolen over four million in cash.
The property manager was panic-stricken. With such a huge loss, what were they to do? He suggested that Xu Shu should quickly call the police, afraid that this young man might ask their property company to bear the loss, which they couldn’t afford.
Xu Shu was easy to talk to and didn’t even bring up the matter of compensation, instead he said:
"When I came back, I saw three shady figures, two women and a man, running out of my window. I suspect they’re the ones who stole the money!
"Can you help me post a notice? Put it at the entrance of each building in the complex, write it in detail, and say that the three thieves left through the north gate, you couldn’t catch them, but have already contacted a private detective to look for them, understand?"
"Understood, understood... Aren’t we calling the police?" the property manager asked, astonished.
Xu Shu intentionally said, "It’s useless, I trust private detectives more."
Saying this, he handed over ten thousand-dollar bills!
"This is for your trouble," Xu Shu smiled.
"Alright, boss! I’ll make sure the task is done, boss!" the property manager carefully accepted, thinking to himself that this rich boss was something. Not only did he not blame him for the theft but also gave him money.
People like him indeed deserved to prosper!
"Ashu, what were you just doing? Where are those people? It was so noisy outside earlier, did you guys fight?"
It was night, and the streetcars weren’t running, so walking to a quiet place, Mrs. Zhou cautiously asked.
Xu Shu smiled, "I didn’t do much, though we did come to blows. They were quite formidable, but I held my own, and since they couldn’t easily take me down, they left."
"You weren’t hurt, were you?" Mrs. Zhou asked anxiously.
"No worries, Mom, I’m good at fighting, really, no lie," Xu Shu said.
"Sigh, Mom knows you’re capable, but still, it’s better not to fight!" Mrs. Zhou was still scared.
"Okay."
Xu Shu nodded, then asked, "Where’s Dad working? Let’s pick him up and go together."
"I know the place, I’ll take you," Mrs. Zhou knew the way.
Soon, his foster parents met up and briefly discussed the situation.
Father Zhou was a reasonable man and didn’t ask too many questions, fully trusting Xu Shu.
As for his sister, Xu Shu planned to visit her school the next day to explain the situation and that they would be moving.
While talking, they headed towards the Star Tower.
Gu Ru walked behind, and the two little girls couldn’t walk anymore, so Xu Shu generously carried one in each arm.
Father Zhou supported Mrs. Zhou, who had somewhat shaky legs from fear, and Mrs. Zhou, watching Xu Shu carrying the two little girls ahead, looked worried.
"We can’t go on like this, Old Zhou, this is too much like a family..." Mrs. Zhou muttered.
"What did you say? I didn’t catch that," Father Zhou asked.
"Never mind, never mind, I’ll talk to Si Yu later~" Mrs. Zhou continued to murmur to herself.
In the evening, there were still quite a few people walking. Covering nearly three kilometers, the six of them walked for half an hour and arrived at the Hunter Association by the north side of the Supervision Bureau.
Xu Shu walked up confidently, about to ask the front desk for Gu Pan of the Gu Family.
However, as soon as he stepped in, his expression froze.
The sign at the Hunter Association had changed to the Song Family, the Tang family, and the Wei Family.
Xu Shu was stupefied.
Where was the Gu Family?
Such a prominent Gu Family that had definitely been here before!
He asked the front desk staff and found out.
Damn it, the Gu Family had moved away!
The other party eagerly promoted, saying that going forward, all of the Gu Family’s business would be handled by the Wei Family, and moreover, at a more affordable price, offering a 30% discount on the Gu Family’s rates!
Xu Shu walked out troubled, and when Father Zhou and Mrs. Zhou asked what was wrong, Xu Shu didn’t elaborate, knowing they couldn’t help.
He then turned his gaze towards the Star Tower, his eyes blazing with determination.
The ancients were right; it’s better to rely on oneself!
That night, Xu Shu settled his family and the widow and orphans in a hotel and then, taking all his belongings, entered the bustling inner layers of the Star Tower.
Once back in the safe zone, his priority was to improve himself!
