The next morning, Fang Chang, who had only slept for four hours, arrived at the police station early, only to unexpectedly run into Lu Xuanxin and her group at the entrance. Seeing their hurried manner, Fang Chang knew that the crucial plot was about to unfold.

When the protagonist, Xiahou Wu, saw the murder case in the news, he knew that Feng Yuxiu had begun his plan to compete for the title of "Number One in the World".

Desperate to get out of prison to protect his family, Xiahou Wu, after several unsuccessful attempts to contact Lu Xuanxin, resorted to violence in prison, causing a serious incident to attract the attention of the prison authorities and finally gaining the opportunity to see Lu Xuanxin.

This meeting is one that Fang Chang absolutely cannot miss.

On the one hand, it was to get to know the main characters of the story as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it was to verify one of my conjectures about how to obtain the source point and the next action goal!

Pretending to be unaware, he approached and listened to Lu Xuanxin's explanation before suggesting they set off together. Having witnessed Fang Chang's abilities the previous night, Lu Xuanxin had no further doubts about him, so the group drove to the prison.

Upon arriving at the prison, the prison guards led the way while recounting the riot that morning: Xiahou Wu single-handedly took down 17 prison rioters in order to spread the news...

"Sigh~"

Knowing from the movie that Xiahou Wu was very strong might not be shocking enough, but now, being there in person—watching the strong prisoners wandering aimlessly in the prison—Fang Chang couldn't help but gasp.

Although Xiahou Wu had some advantage in this fight due to the terrain and the support of the people:

The other side didn't expect him to make a sudden move and was unprepared. All the prisoners surrounded him at the same time, but Xiahou Wu, with the walls and tables as barriers, could only make contact with two or three people at a time.

But that still doesn't change the fact that in the end, only Xiahou Wu remained standing during the riot.

As they walked with the prison guards, Fang Chang occasionally asked questions related to the prison and Xiahou Wu. After receiving satisfactory answers, the group finally arrived at the meeting room.

Upon opening the door, Xiahou Wu greeted everyone with a friendly smile behind a long steel table, looking nothing like a ruthless man who had subdued 17 prisoners.

"Sir, could you bring me 17 cartons of cigarettes next time you come? I'll give them to the people I injured. I'll definitely pay you back." Xiahou Wu said to Lu Xuanxin with a faint smile.

Upon first meeting Xiahou Wu, Fang Chang noticed that although his appearance was not exactly the same as that of actor Donnie Yen, the angular features and the temperament between his eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same, making him look exactly like a time-traveling Master Ip Man!

A sudden urge to hunt arose, and Fang Chang quickly walked to the table, shook hands with Xiahou Wu, and said, "Hello, Master Ye, my name is Fang Chang!"

Even with Xiahou Wu's calm and collected nature, coupled with the composure he had cultivated during his years in prison, he was momentarily stunned and his rhythm was disrupted.

According to Xiahou Wu's plan, he would maintain the initiative throughout this meeting.

Using his understanding of Feng Yuxiu, he created the image of someone who knew the murderer inside and out, thus planting a seed in Lu Xuanxin's heart. When Feng Yuxiu committed his next crime, the seed would blossom and bear fruit, allowing him to get out of prison early with the help of the police and protect his junior sister.

The moment Xiahou Wu smiled upon the other party's arrival at the room, his plan began. Not all martial artists are brutes; those like Master Ye, who can appear as scholars by donning a long robe, are not to be underestimated.

Fang Chang's move was a bit unexpected for everyone. Xiahou Wu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, still maintaining his signature gentle smile, "Hello, officer, my name is Xiahou Wu, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Haha, just kidding!" Fang Chang suddenly realized that no one in this world could understand the joke he was making, so he could only sit down obediently and prepare to play it by ear.

Fang Chang came today to disrupt the plot and directly bring Xiahou Wu out of prison, using this method to test the correct way to use the system.

Everyone took their seats in turn, and Xiahou Wu, just like in the story, began to play the riddle solver.

"Kill the fist if you encounter a fist, kill the Buddha if you encounter a Buddha. Don't you think he has some special intention?"

"Shoulders and hips in harmony, hands and feet in coordination; capture is dead, seizing is alive; only with skillful seizing can weapons be used."

"Weapons are an extension of the hands and feet, hence the saying 'man and weapon as one.' Mind and intention must be in harmony, intention and qi must be in harmony, qi and strength must be in harmony, internal yin and external yang must be in harmony, and the internal and external must be connected as one qi. If one form is not in harmony, it is difficult to practice another form!"

However, it was obvious that Lu Xuanxin wasn't buying it, and her expression gradually became impatient.

Of course, Lu Xuanxin's reaction was exactly what Xiahou Wu expected.

He knew he would get out of prison eventually, just not today.

Seeing Lu Xuanxin impatiently preparing to leave, Xiahou Wu's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. In Xiahou Wu's plan, he would read out the list of victims who would die at the last moment before Lu Xuanxin left, at which point his plan would be perfectly completed.

Unfortunately, besides many "locals," there was also a despicable outsider named Fangzai present today.

“Officer Lu, I have an idea.” Fang Chang gestured for Lu Xuanxin to come outside and talk with him.

Once outside the meeting room, Fang Chang sorted out his thoughts. "Officer Lu, don't you think this Xiahou Wu is strange?"

“Strange?” Lu Xuanxin nodded. “Now that you mention it, he is indeed a bit strange, but I don’t know what’s strange about him.”

“When we arrived, the prison guards told us that Xiahou Wu had been a model prisoner for the past three years. He not only didn’t cause trouble, but he even helped other prisoners. His good behavior over the years earned him several sentence reductions.” Fang Chang recalled the information he had received from the prison guards and continued, “Actually, even without us, he would have been released within a year.”

"And this time, Xiahou Wu went so far as to instigate a prison riot in order to let us meet with him." Fang Chang continued with Xiahou Wu's gentle smile, "risking the loss of his sentence reduction, just so we could temporarily take him out of prison for some fresh air. Xiahou Wu is not stupid; I don't believe he can't see the pros and cons of this matter."

"When a person does something that does more harm than good to himself, he must have a reason to do it."

"You mean Xiahou Wu is willing to pay such a high price to get out of prison? There must be some shady reason behind it?" Lu Xuanxin asked thoughtfully.

“No, Officer Lu forgot one condition.” Fang Chang felt his thoughts were becoming clearer and continued, “Xiahou Wu doesn’t necessarily need to be released from prison, but he absolutely must be released soon!”

"Only people who are about to starve to death would fight each other over a piece of bread."

"He can't wait any longer; something must be happening outside that forces him to go out soon!"

"After paying such a high price, Xiahou Wu doesn't seem afraid that we won't take him out. He must have crucial information to solve the case. Otherwise, the charge of obstructing justice alone would be enough to get him into serious trouble!"

Lu Xuanxin was increasingly impressed with Officer Fang, whose first impression of her wasn't good, and couldn't help but ask, "So what do you think we should do now? Should we just agree to take him out?"

"Of course not." Fang Chang shook his head with a confident smile. "We must take the initiative."

Fang Chang then whispered a few words to Lu Xuanxin, which made Lu Xuanxin's eyes light up.

"I'll have to trouble Officer Lu later," Fang Chang said meaningfully.

Lu Xuanxin nodded, and the two then pushed open the door and entered the meeting room once again.
