My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 82: He’s So Strong Yet So Humble

Zhou Xiong and three other team members surrounded Li Rui, examining him as if he were an exotic creature.

Zheng Xiaoyue playfully patted him on the back: "You’re quite the secretive one, looking all innocent like that."

"Sister Yue, I really am a good person."

Li Rui chuckled awkwardly, "I went out looking for Leader Zhou and accidentally entered this realm. Those monsters were so fierce and frightening, I had no choice but to defend myself."

"Hey, who cares about those monsters anyway."

Zheng Xiaoyue casually said, "Enough with the nonsense, how many squares did you actually cover? Did you deal with all those things? Didn’t you run into any of the non-guarding ones?"

Zhou Xiong smoked on the side, enjoying the leisure of having someone ask the questions for him.

Li Rui answered, "I didn’t count, probably entered about a dozen or twenty areas. Didn’t see anyone else."

Zhou Xiong said, "Let’s match up where we’ve been later and see if all the corners are cleared."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fog walls around them began to dissipate, and before long, the space returned to normal.

Zheng Xiaoyue laughed, "Looks like Xiaoli cleared all the other areas."

"Amazing, amazing!"

The other team members were all smiles.

Li Rui curiously asked, "Don’t you guys feel like I stole your credit?"

"Oh, you’re so young, why think so much."

Zheng Xiaoyue said nonchalantly, "You don’t come every time, and you know our style, we don’t care about these things. Besides, it’s your ability, no one can say anything."

Li Rui learned a lesson from this.

You can shear the wool, just don’t shear one place all the time, and no one will mind.

Seeing the realm dissipated, they immediately returned to their residence along the now normal route.

To their surprise, the other four people remained asleep the entire time, still snoring in the room.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Zhou Xiong knocked on each door, waking everyone up.

"What is it, Brother Zhou? It’s just past seven, not time for shift change yet."

"Change nothing, pack up, the mission’s over."

"What??!"

The just-awake individuals looked shocked, and after the others explained, they all surrounded Li Rui in awe.

What the heck? We took a nap, and a Rain Summoner solved the realm overlap?

With the realm resolved, they drove down the mountain to inform the perimeter the blockade was lifted.

Zhou Xiong originally planned to take Li Rui to the train station alone, but after discovering his hidden expert status, everyone vouched to see him off.

No choice, in the Extraordinary World, even lazybones have a natural admiration for the strong. Although Li Rui is now just a low-level strongman, he might become famous one day.

After Li Rui got off the car, he stood at the door and said, "Remember, don’t mention my name."

"Got it, got it, don’t worry."

"Come back to visit when you can."

After Li Rui’s figure disappeared at the entrance, Zhou Xiong said, "Hey, look at that, you all should learn from him."

The young man named Zheng Hong said, "Oh, his combat power is beyond imagination, I couldn’t learn that even if I tried."

Zheng Xiaoyue mocked, "Brother Zhou means you should learn his character, be more humble. He’s so amazing but doesn’t flaunt it, even asked us not to talk about it. Tsk tsk, this kid will definitely go far."

However, they didn’t realize Li Rui kept a low profile not because he was humble, but because he didn’t want others to find out about his tendency to gather everything from the realm when seconded in the future.

.....

Wang Huai’s friend is Chen Guangping; they are alumni from the police academy.

After graduation, one went to Huangliang and the other to Mihe.

This time they traveled here because Wang Huai wanted to meet up with his old friend. His wife had no objections, glad to travel, but his daughter was reluctant when she found out Li Rui wasn’t coming. Still, her mother dragged her out for a balance of work and rest.

"Senior, South Mountain isn’t high, let’s go up today, have a simple meal at the summit, then come back in the afternoon to treat our niece to a good meal, alright Jiajia?" Chen Guangping turned to Wang Jia with a smile he thought was kind.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Though the little girl had no interest in climbing, she knew better than to lose her temper in front of others.

Wang Huai said, "Hey, Guangping, let’s go back to the hotel after coming down the mountain, I brought something good, take it before eating."

They shared a knowing smile, as if plotting something.

Meanwhile, Wang Jia, bored, glanced around and saw a car coming down the road from the back mountain.

"Mommy, Brother Rui!"

She instinctively whispered.

Du Yuying was standing by the flowerbed taking selfies, not looking up as she said, "Nonsense, Xiaorui went out with friends, young people wouldn’t enjoy a place like this."

So, you know!! Then why keep bringing me here!

Suppressing her urge to complain, Wang Jia said, "I really saw him, in the car that just went down."

By then, Wang Huai had finished talking, turned and asked, "What did you see?"

"A car came down the mountain just now, Brother Rui was in it."

Wang Huai had the same reaction, thinking she must be mistaken.

Chen Guangping, knowing who Li Rui was, chuckled and said, "Jiajia, you can’t go to the back mountain these days, it couldn’t be your little brother."

He thought he used a trendy term.

Wang Huai casually asked, "What’s at the back mountain? Why can’t we go?"

"Nobody developed it, it’s just a road, seems like it was going to be a villa area, but the developer ran away."

Chen Guangping said, "But recently someone received a task to close the road, even people like us can’t go, let alone a university student."

Unexpectedly, Wang Huai got intrigued after hearing this.

He pulled his old friend aside and asked in a low voice, "Guangping, why the road closure, know any details?"

"Tsk."

Chen Guangping glanced at Wang Jia a few meters away, lowered his voice, "Couldn’t ask about it, very mysterious, those who know, know."

Wang Huai frowned, realizing something was off.

The Celestial King Town had the same kind of blockade, and Li Rui was involved. If his daughter wasn’t mistaken earlier, then he was involved here too.

Something’s wrong.

But he didn’t tell his wife and daughter, suppressing it for two days, and once back in Huangliang, he visited Li Rui’s home under a pretext.

After a few minor chats, Wang Huai nonchalantly asked, "Xiaorui, where did you go a few days ago?"

Li Rui’s heart skipped a beat; knowing his close elder, he unconsciously rubbed his fingers looking at the floor, a guilty habit of dodging risk, like when questioned by his wife after drinking.

So Li Rui instinctively gave a false answer.

"Tiansui City."

It was one of the cities under Wu Mengying, in case of trouble, she could cover for him.

"Who did you go with?"

"Classmate."

"Which classmate?"

"Zheng, Zheng Hao."

Facing Zuo Qiutian, he could stay calm, but now he was nervous, seeing this father-like figure.

Wang Huai chuckled, taking out his phone: "I saved that kid’s number before."

Li Rui thought "uh-oh," forgetting Uncle Wang was also close to Xiaozheng’s dad.

"Hello? Yes, yes, it’s me, I wanted to ask, were you with Li Rui in Tiansui City a few days ago?"

Li Rui’s heart pounded as he considered how to confess later.

However, Zheng Hao’s carefree voice came through.

"Yeah, Uncle Wang, he was with me the whole time."

Good brother!

Li Rui felt relieved.
