Chapter 36 - The inner demon is finally broken!

Xia Huaicheng and Xia Huaizheng exchanged glances, and both of them felt uneasy. The disappearance of the fifth brother Xia Huaiwu was like a huge stone pressing on their hearts. "Sixth brother, when was the last time you saw the fifth brother?" Xia Huaizheng frowned and spoke first. Xia Liu said: "After dinner last night, I went shopping with Xiaoqi with him. Later, he said he was going to the bathroom, and then he disappeared. We called but no one answered, thinking he was busy with his own things, but who knew..." Xia Liu expressed his doubts, and there was a hint of anxiety in his words. Xia Zhuozhuo suddenly remembered that Xia Liu had mentioned Xia Huaizheng's past identity as a hacker, so he said: "Brother, can you use technology to locate the fifth brother's mobile phone?" As soon as this was said, the three of them fell silent. Xia Zhuozhuo was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Xia Liu pulled her aside and said in a low voice: "Big brother met the woman from the Bai family because of a hacker competition. After that, he never touched the computer again..." So that's it. Xia Zhuozhuo sighed in her heart, but still walked towards Xia Huaizheng firmly: "Big brother, now that the fifth brother is missing and the situation at home is special, I think no matter what, you should let go of the past and find him first." Although she did not have deep feelings for Xia Huaiwu, she knew that her mother would be worried about this. Her mother was weak and sickly. If she was stimulated again, I'm afraid it would be more difficult for her body to recover. Xia Huaizheng, who was in a wheelchair, bowed his head and said nothing, with a trace of struggle in his eyes. "Big brother..." Xia Zhuozhuo called softly, trying to persuade him again. "You and I know the situation at home. What should mother do if the fifth brother really encounters an accident?" There was a bit of pleading in her words. Seeing this, Xia Liu also came over and gently tugged at Xia Zhuozhuo's clothes, trying to persuade him. "Don't say anything, Xiaoqi." Xia Huaizheng's voice was low and firm, "I know a friend who is proficient in hacking technology, I can find him..." "No!" Xia Zhuozhuo interrupted him, "Now the Xia family is at the cusp of the storm. If people know that the fifth brother is also in trouble, how will the outside world view our Xia family? Wouldn't they think that we have fallen to the point of being bullied by others?" In fact, Xia Zhuozhuo himself is also proficient in hacking technology, and is the top of the global hacker list. But she wants to take this opportunity to help Xia Huaizheng get rid of his inner demons. It is not a long-term solution to continue to be depressed and decadent. "Xiao..." Xia Huaicheng was about to say something, but saw Xia Huaizheng tense, with a flash of determination in his eyes. "Xiao Qi is right. Although I am a disabled man, my hands can still move. How can I ignore my younger brother for my own selfishness?" His voice was weak, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness. "But, brother..." Xia Huaicheng was worried. Since his brother's legs were injured, he not only lost the ability to walk, but also suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Three months ago, just seeing a poster of a hacker competition made him almost collapse and he didn't want to eat for several days. The study was therefore locked. "Don't say it, Xiao Qi is right, we must find Lao Wu ourselves." Xia Huaizheng interrupted Xia Huaicheng and turned his eyes to Xia Liu, "Help me, go to the study." Xia Huaizheng's attitude was firm. Xia Liu and Xia Huaicheng tried to dissuade him to no avail, so they had to help him go upstairs with difficulty, one on the left and one on the right. His legs were almost unable to exert any strength, and he barely reached the study with the support of the two. In the study, three computers were neatly arranged. Xia Huaizheng was helped to sit down in front of the computer in the middle. He took a deep breath and slowly pressed the power button. This action seemed simple, but it seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat. "Brother..." Xia Huaicheng frowned and wanted to persuade him again. "No need!" Xia Huaizheng refused in a deep voice, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already determined. He knew that he could not escape any longer. Not only for himself, but also for the Xia family, and to set an example for Xia Zhuozhuo, proving that he, the eldest brother, was not useless. Xia Huaizheng trembled with his hands and slowly touched the keyboard. The familiar touch made him stiffen all over, and countless painful memories suddenly emerged in his mind. Those memories, like sharp blades, cut his heart. Xia Zhuo's light flashed slightly, and a silver needle quietly slipped out of his sleeve. She moved quickly and accurately, and while no one noticed, she inserted the silver needle into an acupuncture point on Xia Huaizheng's body. Xia Huaizheng did not feel any pain when the silver needle entered his body. He only felt that the chaotic memories in his mind suddenly dissipated, as if an invisible sword had split the chaos in his heart. He suddenly cheered up and devoted himself to the task of locating the location of Xia Huaiwu's mobile phone. Xia Zhuozhuo also quietly put the silver needle back into his sleeve, staring at Xia Huaizheng closely. Having not touched the computer for a long time, Xia Huaizheng's technique was a little rusty at first. But as time went on, he gradually regained his old feeling, and his fingers flew on the keyboard so fast that the naked eye could only capture two afterimages. Finally, in the anxious waiting of everyone, Xia Huaizheng successfully located Xia Huaiwu's position. "Found it!" His voice revealed an excitement that was difficult to conceal. "The signal finally disappeared at No. 111 Yuwen Road." Several people were delighted. They were not only happy to find Xia Huaiwu's whereabouts, but also excited that Xia Huaizheng successfully broke the inner demon. Excited, Xia Huaicheng asked in confusion: "I have never been to this place. Where is it?" Xia Liu answered quickly like an encyclopedia: "That is the training base of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall." "Ancient Martial Arts Hall?" Xia Zhuozhuo's heart moved slightly when she heard it. She was not unfamiliar with this place. She knew that the people there were extraordinary and the martial arts they learned were called "Ancient Martial Arts". It is said that the founder of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall rose to prominence because he accidentally got an ancient martial arts book. In recent years, the Ancient Martial Arts Hall has replaced a new hall master. This person is self-interested. A month ago, he took on the task of severely damaging the Anbu, resulting in many injuries to the Anbu. At that time, she was in Kyoto, and the people of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall had returned to Shanghai, so she failed to settle accounts with them in time. Hearing this, Xia Huaicheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "I always wanted him to quit the Ancient Martial Arts Hall, but he insisted on staying." Xia Liuze said with regret, "Since he is in the Ancient Martial Arts Hall, maybe he asked for this disappearance." Although there was a bit of blame in his words, everyone's eyes revealed their worry and concern for Xia Huaiwu. Next, how should they act to rescue this stubborn fifth brother? All this is still unknown. But one thing is certain, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will work together and face it together. How could he do this and go to the Ancient Martial Arts Hall without telling us a word? It really makes people anxious! Xia Huaizheng hurriedly said, "I happen to be familiar with a person from the Ancient Martial Arts Hall and know his residence. Huaicheng, you drive with me to ask. Only when we confirm that the fifth brother is safe and sound can we feel at ease." Xia Huaicheng nodded in agreement. The two set off immediately. As for Xia Zhuozhuo, she wanted to take a short nap and returned to her room on the pretext of lack of sleep. However, as soon as she entered the room, she quietly climbed out the window and took a taxi straight to the Ancient Martial Arts Hall.
