Lying in the middle of the weeds, Chen Xuewen was recovering his strength while thinking of ways to take revenge. The most important thing now was to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. To do that, he had to find Wu Lihong and get the identity of the real culprit from her. So, the key to the matter still lay with Wu Lihong. However, his identity had been exposed, and Wu Lihong must be on high alert. How could he approach her to ask about this matter? Moreover, the law enforcement team in Pingcheng was probably searching for him everywhere. Under such circumstances, it would be extremely dangerous for Chen Xuewen to show up. If he were caught by the law enforcement team, everything would be over. After thinking for a long time, Chen Xuewen couldn't come up with a suitable solution, which made him rather impatient. He climbed out of the weeds and walked to the nearby river, submerging his head in the icy water to try to calm his mind. The bone-chilling water made his whole body shiver, but he didn't back down. He just kept his head underwater and held his breath while thinking. This process of holding his breath reminded Chen Xuewen of the time he fought to the death with Old Du in the water. Thinking of Old Du, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Chen Xuewen. He immediately lifted his head out of the water, took a deep breath, and whispered, "If that old fox Du encountered such a situation, what would he do?" When Chen Xuewen was in prison, Old Du had told him many strategies and some rather sinister schemes. Some of the words Old Du had said to him had benefited him greatly. For example, the saying that "if something is abnormal, there must be something fishy" had saved his life. Although Old Du was cunning and treacherous, it had to be said that his strategies were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. Chen Xuewen sat quietly on the ground, carefully thinking about the methods Old Du had taught him in his mind. Old Du had said that when encountering a situation, one must think three times. These three times not only meant thinking from one's own perspective but also from the perspective of the other party and some bystanders. Chen Xuewen had been thinking about how he could break through the other party's defense and capture Wu Lihong, never considering other perspectives. Now, Chen Xuewen suddenly had an inspiration. He wanted to try thinking about this matter from Wu Lihong's perspective. If he were Wu Lihong and encountered such a situation, how would he handle it? Chen Xuewen thought carefully. If someone had framed him and he had escaped from prison, desperately wanting to kill him, he would surely be very scared. And when a person is very scared, what would he do? Undoubtedly, he would hide in a very safe place to feel at ease. For Wu Lihong, where was the safest place? Undoubtedly, it was He Fei's internet cafe. After all, it was her boyfriend's territory, with more than ten of He Fei's subordinates nearby and nearly a hundred people in the internet cafe. No one would dare to do anything to her in that place. Moreover, Chen Xuewen had been there before and was discovered. From a normal person's perspective, Chen Xuewen surely wouldn't dare to go back. Therefore, it was highly likely that Wu Lihong was still hiding in He Fei's internet cafe! But how could he get Wu Lihong out of the internet cafe? Chen Xuewen frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered the escape from prison. When they were escaping, they were being watched by so many guards, and it was impossible to escape. But Old Du had asked him to create a commotion to draw the guards' attention away and use the strategy of feinting east and attacking west to escape with him. If Chen Xuewen could create a commotion in the internet cafe, would there be a chance to take Wu Lihong away? Thinking of this, Chen Xuewen couldn't help but get excited because he finally had a rough idea.
Chen Xuewen was secretly planning in his heart. It took him over an hour to complete the plan. After thinking everything through, Chen Xuewen finally let out a sigh of relief. He finally had a chance to take revenge!
Next, Chen Xuewen hid in the weeds for more than two hours until it was around 5:30 in the afternoon and the sky began to darken. Chen Xuewen walked into a nearby village and took a few pieces of clothing from the clothesline outside a house. After changing his clothes, Chen Xuewen took advantage of the darkening sky and entered Pingcheng through a small path.
After entering the city, Chen Xuewen noticed that there were significantly more patrol cars on the streets. It seemed that the law enforcement team had discovered his identity and had started a strict search again. Chen Xuewen didn't go to He Fei's internet cafe but first found a barber shop. Under the pretext of washing his hair, Chen Xuewen picked up some hair clippings from the barber shop. After leaving the barber shop, Chen Xuewen found a deserted place and used the hair clippings to simply stick them on his face, creating the appearance of a beard. In the darkness, although the beard looked fake, it was hard to tell the difference.
Chen Xuewen also put on a hat that only covered his ears but not his face. With this beard and wearing a set of middle-aged clothes, Chen Xuewen looked like a middle-aged man. Along the way, the law enforcement team patrolling the streets didn't pay much attention to him. After all, their main target was young people in their twenties. Disguised, Chen Xuewen arrived near He Fei's internet cafe. He first straightened his collar and walked around the internet cafe to scout the situation. However, no one paid any attention to him as they were all busy playing games. At the same time, Chen Xuewen noticed that Wu Lihong was still sitting in He Fei's private room. He Fei was also there, and it was obvious that Wu Lihong was somewhat panicked and hiding there. Chen Xuewen confirmed Wu Lihong's location and felt more at ease.
He left the internet cafe and went to a deserted place in the back alley, taking out Zhao Dong's small mobile phone. Relying on his memory, he dialed the phone number of the former political and educational director of his high school. The phone rang three times before a familiar voice answered, "Hello." Chen Xuewen immediately lowered his voice and said, "Director Wang, right?" Director Wang immediately replied, "Yes, it's me. Who is this?" Chen Xuewen said, "What? You can't even recognize my voice?" "Didn't I tell you when you came to the bureau for the meeting a few days ago?" Director Wang was silent for a moment and then hurriedly said, "Oh, it's... it's Director Hou?" "Oh, sorry, I... I was distracted just now." "Director Hou, what can I do for you?" Chen Xuewen asked, "What's the matter?" "How are you doing as the political and educational director?" "Do you know that there was an incident at the underground internet cafe in Xinjiekou today? A murderer escaped there." Director Wang said, "Uh, I... I've heard about it." "But this has nothing to do with education, right?" Chen Xuewen asked, "What did you say?" "Do you know how many students from your school skipped classes and went to this internet cafe? They are still there now!" "If something happens, are you responsible?" Director Wang's voice changed in fear, "Ah!" ?"
"Director Hou, please... please don't be angry."
"I... I'll take some people to catch these students right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuewen did the same thing and called the political and educational directors of several other schools, saying the same words.
Since he didn't reveal his identity, he just let them guess.
Less than twenty minutes later, several groups of people arrived outside He Fei Internet Cafe. These people were from several nearby middle schools, all led by the political and educational directors, going in to catch their own students.
Seeing this, Chen Xuewen mixed into the crowd and quietly slipped in.
He knew that the Internet cafe was about to get chaotic soon, and his chance to act had come!
