Chapter 1074 What a Joke

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Lawyer An couldn't help but ask.

The person lying in the pool in the painting really looked like the boss from his previous life, and the age matched too, about the age the boss was when he had the car accident.

When he first met Zhou Ze, Lawyer An had actually investigated him privately. Of course, it wasn't a secret, and the boss had never kept it a secret.

After all, he was a doctor in his previous life, not a rapist, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

But how could that unfinished puppet be carved from the same mold as the boss's previous life?

Geng Chen rolled his eyes at Lawyer An.

He said:

"Do you think I'd joke about something like this?"

In this environment, in this situation,

if he dared to joke,

he really had to be prepared to go straight to the afterlife after joking.

"But didn't you say it was in the chocolate? How could you see the person's face so clearly?"

Lawyer An still found it unbelievable, or rather, it was too ridiculous.

"It was that clear!"

Geng Chen glared, indicating that he saw it clearly with his own eyes and painted it clearly too.

"Why was it gone when I went?" Lawyer An asked.

"Maybe it was because my entry broke the balance inside. It had already melted when you went in."

"That's too perfunctory, isn't it?"

"Isn't it normal for popsicles to melt in the summer?"

"I'm saying, what's with your attitude? I went to Xuzhou specifically to save you, and I carried you back with great effort, and you..."

"I thank you."

Geng Chen put down the pen in his hand,

and turned to look at Zhou Ze,

very seriously, he said:

"At first, I also thought it was just a resemblance. After all, I only saw a photo of you from your previous life that Lao An showed me once.

"But some things, when they happen to other people, might be coincidences, face-offs, or all sorts of accidental factors coming together.

"But since it happened to you, Boss, there must be a reason for it."

"You continue to rest, I'll set off this afternoon to take a look over there."

Zhou Ze rolled up the painting, put it away, and walked straight out of the ward, appearing, very calm.

Lawyer An glared at Geng Chen and followed him out.

Geng Chen continued to lie in the hospital bed, as if the talking and movements had exhausted too much of his vitality, causing him to be a little listless now.

In fact, he had been forcibly "awakened" by Lawyer An.

"Heh..."

He chuckled dryly,

Geng Chen slowly closed his eyes.

............

"Boss, Boss, that guy definitely didn't tell the truth, he's holding something back for sure. Let me go ask him again, that guy's just asking for a beating.

"Damn, I used to think this guy was righteous, but now I feel like he doesn't appreciate kindness?"

"We've pitted him quite a bit too."

Zhou Ze was quite open-minded about it.

Back then, Geng Chen was just a scapegoat in the bookstore, and there were a lot of pots to take the blame for back then, so he caught a good time.

"Wasn't it no big deal before? Helping out when you see injustice on the road, it's only human nature, right?"

Lawyer An didn't feel embarrassed at all. A lot of his behavior really didn't have much to do with "goodness." It was only after following Zhou Ze that he was forced to change a bit because of Zhou Ze's own "moral preferences."

"I can sense that he doesn't want to say it, he might have his reasons, and besides, he's already said enough."

"I still feel a little uneasy, though. Isn't it always like this in TV dramas and movies? They bury a pit for you before the adventure, and then something bad definitely happens when you go."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing."

Zhou Ze sat down on the sofa again,

and slowly unfolded the painting in his hand.

It has to be said that Geng Chen's painting skills were indeed very strong.

However, Zhou Ze himself was actually a little unfamiliar with the person in the pool in the painting.

When he first started this life, he would still feel very uncomfortable every time he looked in the mirror at Xu Le's face.

The feeling of waking up, brushing his teeth, and looking up at the mirror,

was practically a fixed horror movie every morning.

Later,

he slowly got used to it,

after all,

Xu Le wasn't good at anything else, but he was indeed good-looking.

There are only a few men in this world who purely live off of women, not because everyone has integrity, but because there are only a few who are good-looking.

What's funny is,

at this time,

when he looked back at his previous life's appearance,

he felt uncomfortable instead.

It's a bit like the queue-up order at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Countless people resisted it, but when the Republic of China wanted to cut off braids, there were a lot of people desperately protecting them and refusing to cut them.

Too many things are superficial. Only the word "habit" is the scariest.

"Boss, we're leaving after lunch, right?"

Lawyer An specifically asked.

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Alright, then I'll go upstairs and meditate for a while."

After speaking,

Lawyer An went upstairs.

However,

after entering the room, he didn't sit down cross-legged on the bed. Instead, he opened the window and jumped down.

He went around half a circle and walked in through the pharmacy door from the west side again.

Pushing open the ward door,

Lawyer An walked in again.

This time,

his expression was as calm as water.

Geng Chen was lying with his eyes closed, as if he was already asleep.

But this was just "fooling ghosts,"

how could he be asleep?

Lawyer An walked to Geng Chen's bed, looked down at him, and just watched him like that.

Finally,

Geng Chen slowly opened his eyes,

and the two made eye contact.

Lawyer An didn't speak,

the first to speak was Geng Chen:

"There are some things I can't say, and it's not convenient to say."

"Heh."

Geng Chen looked at Lawyer An,

"Didn't the boss stop asking?"

Lawyer An lit a cigarette and continued to remain silent.

"In this regard, you, An Buqi, are more experienced than me. Is there any qualification or room for a subordinate like me to speak about other people's family affairs?"

Lawyer An narrowed his eyes,

blew a smoke ring towards Geng Chen's small face,

nodded,

stood up again,

tucked him in,

turned around,

and walked out.

............

Lunch was relatively light, six dishes, all stir-fried vegetables, plus a cold cilantro salad.

Many people don't eat cilantro, but for those who like it, it's really an irresistible temptation.

After the meal,

Lawyer An consciously drove the car out. He could lead the way and be the driver.

Zhou Ze sat in the back seat, Yingying sat next to Zhou Ze, and Lao Xu sat on the other side.

The old Daoist was sitting in the passenger seat, holding the little monkey in his arms.

A car with five people and a monkey set off.

On the way, there was a thunderstorm for a while, and the rain was heavy, but it stopped an hour later, and the sun reappeared.

It wasn't until night that they finally arrived in Xuzhou.

They circled the city for half a circle, and it wasn't until the stars filled the sky that they arrived at their final destination.

After getting out of the car,

Zhou Ze stood by the car stretching his body,

Yingying helped Zhou Ze massage his shoulders.

Sitting in the car for so long was indeed a bit tiring.

Lawyer An didn't seem tired at all. After all, Lawyer An was not pretentious at all when he was really working.

"Boss, this is it."

Lawyer An pointed to the forest in front of them.

However,

he didn't continue to move forward,

but began to look around.

Around the forest, including the place where they were parked and standing, there was still some clear muddy swamp, but the forest was very dry.

This was a small detail, a small detail that most people would overlook.

But most of Lawyer An's life had actually been spent "either pitting others or preventing himself from being pitted by others," so he was very sensitive to this.

"Wasn't it caused by the formation you set up?"

Zhou Ze walked to Lawyer An's side and asked.

"My formation is just a second-rate thing, it can slightly shield perception and cover up the truth, but it really doesn't have any waterproof effect. Otherwise, why would I open a law firm? It would be much faster to just hang up a sign in the market specializing in repairing leaky houses?"

"So, someone came."

While saying this,

Zhou Ze silently took out a cigarette, bit one in his mouth, and handed one to Lawyer An;

without any regard for the possible "ambush on all sides,"

he naturally asked Lawyer An to help him light the cigarette.

They were already here,

anything that should have been alarmed had already been alarmed,

and they had already stirred up the snake,

so there was no need to scare themselves by playing carefully.

Zhou Ze blew out a smoke ring,

sigh,

he was getting arrogant, arrogant.

"Before, when Geng Chen went in, some of the movements he caused were sensed even by the local deity, and maybe they were also sensed by some other force."

"But they came really fast."

At this time,

figures began to flicker quickly in the forest,

as if they had accidentally poked a hornet's nest, and the hornets were pouring out.

Zhou Ze continued to smoke,

Lawyer An glanced at his boss and continued to smoke calmly.

Yingying stood behind Zhou Ze with her hands in her pockets.

The old Daoist was holding the monkey,

the monkey wanted to come out and fight,

but was pressed down by the old Daoist!

"There are quite a few people." Zhou Ze exclaimed.

"Yeah, quite a few indeed." Lawyer An echoed.

In fact, he was still a little flustered in his heart. He wasn't worried that the boss wouldn't be able to win, he was worried that he might be accidentally injured.

He was also worried about one thing, that the tomb might be destroyed by this group of mysterious people. The boss had finally hummed and sat in the car for so long to come over. If the things he wanted to see and find were gone, tsk tsk...

At this time,

the black shadows around them had already surrounded Zhou Ze and the others,

giving the feeling of a police and gangster film where they were surrounded by bandits.

However,

there wasn't a scene where a leader came out and babbled a bunch of nonsense,

nor did anyone ask who they were, where they came from, reported their names, or laid the groundwork for doing things with courtesy first.

Zhou Ze silently threw the cigarette that he had smoked less than a third of on the ground and gently stepped on it with his shoe.

At the same time,

the surrounding black shadows seemed to be forming hand seals together,

the sound was very pious,

and very orderly,

while forming the hand seals,

they shouted together:

"F翻云 (Fan Yun)!" (Overturn the Clouds)
