Then Achang came over, gently patted Zhou Xuan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Little Zhou, Brother Hong's injuries are very serious... I have to escort him back to Beijing immediately. This matter actually has nothing to do with you. Those people don't know you or that it's you, so you don't need to worry!"
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "I know!"
Achang patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Take care!"
Zhou Xuan nodded, and Achang followed him into the ambulance, waved, and said, "Goodbye, Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Xuan waved and said, "Goodbye!"
The soldiers at the gate knew that Zhou Xuan was with Achang, so they didn't question or check him when he went out. However, when they reached the street outside the port, there were no cars passing by because it was late at night.
Zhou Xuan felt weak all over and had no strength left. He just wanted to lie down wherever he could, but his clothes were still a little wet. He couldn't help but shiver a few times when the wind blew. He had to hurry home to change his clothes, otherwise he might catch a cold.
I walked on and off for about an hour before a taxi came by, and I took it back.
He took out his key, opened the door, and entered the living room to find the lights on. Li Jun and Uncle Liu were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "Uncle Liu, why are you still up so late? And Li Jun, what are you doing here?"
Uncle Liu sighed and didn't say anything.
Li Jun snorted and said, "Manager Fang has already fired you. You have no respect for store rules and you don't obey your superiors. Do you still think you're the boss? Manager Fang specifically asked me to move in with Uncle Liu. He'll fire you as soon as you come back!"
Zhou Xuan was taken aback, then looked at Uncle Liu, who sighed helplessly. After a long while, Uncle Liu said, "Little Zhou, you'd better take care of yourself!"
Chen Sanyan was also not there, and it seemed that there was no way to salvage the situation. Zhou Xuan didn't say anything more and said, "Alright, I'll pack my things, change into some dry clothes, and leave!"
Zhou Xuan's luggage was simple. He stuffed his clothes into a suitcase, changed into dry clothes, put the wet clothes in a plastic bag and stuffed them into the suitcase as well, and then put the toiletries in a plastic bag and placed them in the corner of the suitcase.
At the door, Uncle Liu said somewhat forlornly, "Xiao Zhou, don't take offense. In life, there are many things beyond our control. With your talent and wealth, I'm not worried about your livelihood... Take good care of yourself!"
Walking alone on the deserted street, dragging his suitcase, Zhou Xuan sighed. Just one day he was riding high, but in the blink of an eye he was down and out. So, when you have good luck, you can't be complacent. Who knows, once that luck is gone, you'll be back to square one!
Fortunately, I still have several million in savings, so I'm not too worried. It's just a pity about the more than five million I won on the gambling ship tonight. I wonder how Brother Hong is doing. Brother Hong's life or death is unknown, so the six-sided diamond has naturally vanished. My more than one hundred million is gone!
Even the wealthiest people are vulnerable in the face of danger. No matter how rich they are, they are just as fragile in the face of death. Money is sometimes of no use at all.
Zhou Xuan suddenly smiled, no longer regretting it. Money is something that's enough as long as you have enough. Emperors may have a lot of money, but since ancient times, haven't fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, been killing each other? Billionaires may have money, but which family member isn't scheming to fight over their wealth? If you live in turmoil, you can't take a penny with you when you die. He was lucky to have several million in assets. He could marry a wife, have a son, support his parents, and live a carefree and happy life with his family. That was better than anything else!
I booked another room at the hotel where I had stayed for one night before. After taking a shower, I felt so tired that all I wanted to do was close my eyes and sleep.
Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that he had felt dizzy after using the ice energy to heal Brother Hong's injuries, and he didn't know how Brother Hong's injuries were or what the ice energy was doing!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan quickly circulated the icy energy in his left hand, only to find that the icy energy was faint and barely perceptible, seemingly as faint as a wisp of steam rising from a teacup!
Zhou Xuan was taken aback!
To be honest, over the past few days, he has developed a deep affection for this ice energy. It's almost fair to say that all of Zhou Xuan's current wealth and self-esteem are thanks to this supernatural ice energy. If the ice energy were to disappear, he would be back to being the Zhou Xuan he used to be!
Ignoring his fatigue, Zhou Xuan tried his best to circulate the ice energy, but no matter what he did, he couldn't make it take shape or grow stronger. The ice energy seemed to have completely disappeared!
Exhausted and weak, Zhou Xuan felt more regret than anything else. Bing Qi'er had become his most beloved and precious possession, but suddenly it was gone. He felt empty inside and very unhappy!
Feeling tired, Zhou Xuan sat down to meditate on the bed. He had experience with this; the more tired he was, the more energetic he felt after meditating.
After the warmth from below my abdomen circulated through my entire body for a full cycle, the fatigue was indeed lessened. After circulating it a few more times, my whole body felt warm, and the fatigue disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Xuan naturally thought of the icy aura again, and his mind probed into his left hand. But at this moment, he had just circulated the heat in his lower abdomen, and the heat flowed to his left hand with his mind. In the past, these two different auras, one cold and one hot, would fight each other when they met, but now the icy aura was faint and the heat flowed straight in. When it encountered that faint icy aura, it immediately surrounded and attacked it.
Zhou Xuan didn't understand either. It seemed that after the original energy in his body swallowed up the faint trace of ice, his whole body suddenly trembled, and his hot body seemed to cool down a bit.
The hot air flow automatically circulated through Zhou Xuan's body several times along the route he had taken during his meditation practice, then condensed into a pill the size of a walnut, and returned to the original location of the icy air in his left wrist.
Looking at the left hand, it has a faint golden hue.
Zhou Xuan was surprised. The warm current in his lower abdomen that he had cultivated through meditation had disappeared. After merging with the icy energy, it no longer returned to his lower abdomen. He couldn't figure out whether the warm energy had absorbed the icy energy or whether the icy energy had dissolved into the warm current.
However, Zhou Xuan was concerned about whether Bing Qi'er had recovered!
He immediately channeled the Qi from the pill in his left wrist and tried to test the objects in the room.
Zhou Xuan was overjoyed at this test!
The combined energy of the new pill is several times stronger than the previous ice energy. The blurry and difficult feeling when measuring objects with the ice energy is gone. It is clear and distinct. You can measure the year or the shape as you wish. You can even visualize the molecular structure inside the substance being measured more clearly in your mind!
What delighted Zhou Xuan even more was that on the Neptune gambling ship, he had tried to use his ice-cold energy through objects, but it could only reach a distance of about one meter. Now, however, it could reach a distance of more than three meters!
Overjoyed, Zhou Xuan's fatigue vanished without a trace. However, he became worried again. His left hand's mutation ability had increased, but the slightly golden color was somewhat abnormal. Upon closer inspection, the golden color of his left hand was only slightly darker than his skin tone. Since East Asians naturally have yellow skin, no one would notice if it was a little darker, and it was far from being the color of gold or pure copper.
Zhou Xuan thought about it and didn't care. It's always a good thing to be more capable. You can't tell unless you pay close attention. Besides, who would be so bored as to focus on such a small anomaly? Probably no one would even think of it. It's almost autumn now, I'll just buy a pair of gloves to wear then!
Not knowing what time it was, Zhou Xuan quickly took out the wet clothes from the box and took out everything from the pockets.
The cell phone Wei Haihong gave him, the note Fu Ying gave him, and the business card from the Neptune Casino manager.
When I turned on my phone, it was waterlogged and already broken.
Fu Ying's note wasn't ruined by water this time, but since it was written with a lip pencil last time, it wasn't surprising that it wasn't soaked through.

When Zhou Xuan woke up at daybreak, he felt refreshed and his eyesight and hearing seemed much sharper.
After washing up, I had to think about my future development: should I go back to my hometown, or stay here and find another job?
