655: Chapter 651: Return to the Old Haunts 655: Chapter 651: Return to the Old Haunts As he walked, Ye Tian had already arrived at Jiang City’s pedestrian street plaza.
This is the busiest place in Jiang City, bustling with customers throughout the workday.
Speaking of this pedestrian street plaza, Ye Tian still felt a lingering fear.
That’s because his first showdown with the legendary fighter Tian Shisan took place right here.
At that time, right after Yun Xinyan and he had walked out of the supermarket, Tian Shisan descended from the sky and launched an attack on him.
In full view of the public, Ye Tian originally wanted to hold back, but Tian Shisan was overwhelmingly strong, making it impossible for him to pull his punches.
Thus, he could only fight back with all his might.
The result of two exceptional fighters clashing with their utmost strength was the devastating destruction of the pedestrian street plaza…
Back then, if Ye Tian hadn’t used the wooden knife carved from the heart of the millennium ancient tree, he might not have been able to drive Tian Shisan away.
However, to demonstrate the wooden knife’s power, he also damaged the shopping mall’s elevator.
Now, as Ye Tian strolled through the pedestrian street plaza once again, everything had been repaired, and the walkers seemed to have no recollection of Ye Tian’s participation in the battle.
Yet, whenever Ye Tian came here, he still felt a strange sensation.
“Huh?”
Ye Tian suddenly felt surprised.
Why did he suddenly think about that great battle with Tian Shisan when he was here?
Why would the red heart on the map, which is the epicenter of the great earthquake from a thousand years ago, be located right over the pedestrian street plaza?
Was there some sort of connection between the two?
Ye Tian stood next to the fountain at the pedestrian street plaza, looking around, wondering if all this was because of him.
An ancient map is, after all, ancient.
It couldn’t be as minutely detailed as today’s satellite maps.
Therefore, Ye Tian could only guess that the red heart on the map was here but couldn’t determine the exact location.
What did the location of the red heart represent?
What exactly was hidden beneath the pedestrian street plaza?
Ye Tian had no way of finding out…
“Ye Tian, what are you doing here again?
Are you begging for money or something?”
A voice interrupted Ye Tian’s reverie.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw none other than Jiang City’s police officer, Wang Ke’er.
It seemed that the policewoman was patrolling around!
“Ke’er!
Do you need something from me?”
In front of Wang Ke’er, Ye Tian immediately changed his expression.
Upon hearing Ye Tian calling her “Ke’er” again, Wang Ke’er burst into indignation!
“Ye Tian, I’ve told you not to call me Ke’er!
Keep this up and watch out, I might hit you!”
Wang Ke’er said angrily, but she kept her voice down so as not to let the bystanders know about her flat chest.
“I can’t help it, I’m used to the name, and I can’t change it in a short time!”
Ye Tian laughed and replied, prompting Wang Ke’er to sigh.
“Ye Tian, what are you doing standing by the fountain?
You look more and more like a beggar.”
Wang Ke’er teased, having felt amused watching Ye Tian zone out by the fountain, but she didn’t interrupt his thoughts.
It was only when Ye Tian became so engrossed that he almost fell into the fountain that she called out to stop him.
“I’m definitely not a beggar!”
Ye Tian firmly denied, not expecting his deep contemplation to make the policewoman mistake him for a vagabond…
“By the way, Ke’er, has the matter with Xue Yunfu been resolved?”
Ye Tian changed the subject and asked.
After all, since he and Wang Ke’er parted at Xue Yunfu’s villa, they hadn’t seen each other again, and Ye Tian was also concerned about the progress of Xue Yunfu’s case.
“Resolved?
How could such a tricky case be resolved so easily?
But thanks to you, we found that guy’s underground treasure trove.
The police have now brought in many experts for assessment and can almost confirm that he was a double-dealer.
So, we don’t need to put much effort into investigating his death!”
Wang Ke’er excitedly said.
After all, Xue Yunfu’s death was particularly gruesome, and just thinking about it would give her nightmares—she’d rather not get involved with the case…
“By the way, Ye Tian, did you take something from Xue Yunfu’s basement?” Wang Ke’er questioned, “I remember there was a strange object that caused me to lose consciousness when I touched it, and things turned weird, but when we later inventoried Xue Yunfu’s collection, that item was gone!”
“…”
Ye Tian was somewhat speechless.
True to her role as a policewoman, her perceptiveness was sharp.
He hadn’t managed to conceal the fact that he took a pebble from her keen eyes.
Of course, that pebble was very important to Ye Tian, so there was no way he would return it to Wang Ke’er!
“Ke’er, it was dark that night, I didn’t see anything!
But, I clearly know about everything you did in the basement.
You hugged me, then begged me to enlarge your chest.
I believe it was a natural reaction due to emotional pressure and had nothing to do with other things.
It’s just your nature!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, causing Wang Ke’er’s face to turn red.
Such an embarrassing incident, and Ye Tian kept bringing it up, he was going too far!
“It’s not my nature at all!
You must have been up to some trick!
Ye Tian, if you mention this to anyone else, you’re not done with me!”
Wang Ke’er threatened, and Ye Tian stopped talking, not bringing it up anymore.
This put an end to Wang Ke’er’s questioning about whether Ye Tian had taken anything valuable from Xue Yunfu’s basement…
“…”
Seeing Ye Tian suddenly fell silent, Wang Ke’er pointed towards the pedestrian street square, making gestures at Ye Tian.
“Ye Tian, even though I know you’re not a bad guy, there’s still a bottom line to be maintained as a human being.
The last time you fought with that monster, this square was left tattered and torn.
It took a huge effort from the municipal department to repair the square.
You experts, really, in your presence, these public facilities are like tofu.
Next time you have a showdown, could you choose a different location?”
Facing Wang Ke’er’s rant, Ye Tian simply smiled.
“Taiping Police Flower, had you not mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about that affair!”
Seeing Ye Tian acting as if it wasn’t his problem, Wang Ke’er naturally felt a bit annoyed.
“How could you forget such an important matter?
Ye Tian, had there been casualties last time, you would have definitely been expelled from Jiang City!”
Wang Ke’er said sternly, and suddenly, an idea popped into Ye Tian’s mind.
“Taiping, the pedestrian street square was severely damaged the last time I fought that monster?”
Ye Tian asked in surprise, to which Wang Ke’er immediately took the chance to say, “Wasn’t it just?
I’ve seen the damage report of the square, not only was the marble surface ruined, but your fight with that monster even affected the underground water veins!
It wasn’t easy for the municipal department to stop the gushing of the underground water!”
“Underground water?”
Ye Tian smiled faintly, not sure if what Wang Ke’er said was true or false, but he took it as a clue.
If everything was as Ye Tian suspected, then wasn’t the root cause due to himself?
However, just as Ye Tian was about to engage in further conversation with Wang Ke’er, he suddenly realized someone was following him!
The person following him moved lightly and had been tailing him for quite some time, yet he had only just noticed…
It was evident that this follower was a master!
“Taiping, you look so beautiful today!”
Ye Tian suddenly gazed at Wang Ke’er with a serious look, his words dripping with affection.
Wang Ke’er was momentarily stunned; there had never been such a relationship between her and Ye Tian, and him saying something like this made her blush and heart race.
Besides, she hadn’t applied any makeup today and was wearing her police uniform instead of casual clothes.
Where was the beauty that Ye Tian spoke of coming from?
“Ye Tian… what do you mean by that…?”
Wang Ke’er asked timidly, and Ye Tian immediately smiled and said, “Taiping, you don’t realize it, but you are actually very beautiful, especially these recent days.
Your beauty has surpassed that of most women in Jiang City.
So, I have decided today to accompany you on a shopping spree!”
“What!?”
Wang Ke’er was shocked, hardly believing her ears.
“But I am on duty now!”
Wang Ke’er protested, since she was currently patrolling—how could she even think of going shopping?
Ye Tian then wrapped his arm around Wang Ke’er, pulling her into the mall…
“What’s the big deal?
Taiping, consider it a break during work!”
Once Ye Tian put his arm around her, Wang Ke’er lost the will to resist and obediently followed Ye Tian into the mall.
“Taiping, this dress is quite nice, try it on!”
After arriving at a women’s clothing store, Ye Tian immediately picked out a plain-colored dress that matched Wang Ke’er’s figure perfectly.
“This… this…”
However, Wang Ke’er still hesitated; she was on duty.
If she truly shopped for clothes in the mall and tried them on one after the other, and if her supervisor found out, she was done for!
“Taiping, trust me, it will be perfect!
You will be absolutely radiant in this dress!”
Ye Tian coaxed persistently, and Wang Ke’er obediently took the dress and headed to the fitting room.
Little did she know, Ye Tian followed right behind her!
“Ye Tian, what are you doing?”
Seeing Ye Tian shamelessly following her into the fitting room, Wang Ke’er instantly got upset, she was a policewoman, and she couldn’t tolerate Ye Tian’s impudence.
“Taiping, don’t worry, I’m just here to guide you on matching it, to make you look even more beautiful!”
Ye Tian blurted out an excuse.
“But…”
Wang Ke’er was not buying it.
How could she let a man, with whom she didn’t share a close relationship, follow her into the fitting room while trying on clothes?
“Come on, let’s go!”
Ye Tian didn’t waste words with Wang Ke’er.
He gently pushed her into the fitting room, and followed her in.
