Liu Xiaorui went to sleep early in Yeziâs room after dinner. Xiao Bing joked that Liu Xiaorui chose Yezi over him. But Liu Xiaorui said that she wanted to sleep with both of them. Xiao Bing could not help laughing. He surmised that this girl did not want to leave him, although she had found out that she had been taking her brother away from her sister in law.
The little girl soon fell asleep with Xiao Bing and Yezi on either side of her. The two began talking, while staring at the ceiling. Yezi talked about the things in the company and things she found interesting. But she never mentioned the difficulties she encountered. Though Xiao Bing knew that the job was becoming easier for Yezi, he supposed that it was inevitable for this girl to be stressed. She did not talk about it, because she did not want to bring the negativity to Xiao Bing. He would tell something interesting to Yezi or some jokes, which made Yezi try hard to hold back her laughter. She glared at Xiao Bing and said, âStop that, Little Huarui is sleeping.â
Xiao Bing said innocently, âThereâs one person between us. How am I supposed toâ¦â
Yezi blushed. Suddenly she reached out her hands under Little Huarui. Then Xiao Bing felt his waist being pinched hard. Xiao Bing almost cried out because of the pain.
Smiling, Yezi said, âI can still pinch someone even if thereâs a girl between usâ¦â
Xiao Bing said with a piteous look, âIt looks like you will be doing this to me forever.â
Yezi giggled, âAlright. Since you said it, Iâm going to bully you forever.â
The two talked and laughed until midnight. Yezi fell asleep first since she was so sleepy. Later Xiao Bing closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
Su Xiaoxiao was tossing and turning in bed. She could not stop thinking about the scene where Xiao Bing was dancing with Yezi. She found herself strangely jealous⦠Yezi was her best friend. Her jealousy of Yezi made her feel bewildered.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her head with her hands. âBut I⦠I really wish that I was the one who was dancing with him.â
Tears trickled down her cheeks. There were 7 sufferings in life, and two of them were being afraid of starting something and being reluctant to let go.
She knew it was impossible and she still could not let go of the feeling. The hardest thing for humans to control was their feelings.
The next morning, when they were having breakfast in the dining hall, Xiao Bing noticed that Su Xiaoxiao did not look well. He asked out of his concern for her, âXiaoxiao, did you not have a good sleep these days. You donât look as energetic as before. Are you sick?â
âNo⦠Iâm not.â Su Xiaoxiao answered hurriedly.
Maggie cast a glance at Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing. Though Maggie was only a little girl, she was very smart. She was about to speak, when Zhan Hongyan, who was sitting beside her, poked her discreetly. Zhan Hongyan gave her a look and shook her head.
Reluctantly, Maggie shut her mouth. Indeed she was a smart girl. But she was too young. She did not know that there were things that could not be brought out in the open.
Xiao Bing noticed the byplay between Maggie and Zhan Hongyan, and he vaguely guessed the reason why Su Xiaoxiao looked so appalling these days. It seemed that he really had to find a chance to have a talk with Su Xiaoxiao.
After breakfast, Yezi stood up hurriedly and said, âI should leave now. There are so many contracts I need to deal with in the company.â
Xiao Bing said, âOkay.â
Yezi said, âRemember to send Little Huarui to the kindergarten.â
Xiao Bing smiled, âI know.â
After breakfast, everyone was busy with their own tasks. Some went to the noodle house to help, some went to practice martial arts, some went to work. Xiao Bing drove Liu Xiaorui to school.
After he dropped Liu Xiaorui off at the kindergarten. Xiao Bing went back to the Xiao Mansion alone. Then he got a call from the police. It was Jiang Wanting, whom Xiao Bing had met many times. She was from the Criminal Police Brigade. Though she was young, she had a powerful background and had earned many medals. If it were not for the fact that she had only worked for only a short time, she probably would have been promoted already. But her future was still prominent.
Before Jiang Wanting could speak, Xiao Bing smiled and said, âDonât say anything yet. Let me guess. Are you guys planning to release those men? The young master of the Lu Family and his vermin?â
Jiang Wanting sighed and said, âIndeed they crossed the line. But overall, Brother Bing, they barely did anything to you. You even beat them black and blue. This morning, the Lu Family called and they asked us to release them. I canât detain them for too long and they are pressuring us.
Grinning, Xiao Bing said, âOkay. I donât want to cause trouble for the police.â
Jiang Wanting said, âBrother Bing, I have to remind you of something. This time they lost and probably we should just let it go. You are in control of the underground world of the three northern provinces. But itâs not good if you have too many enemies. The Lu Family is not any ordinary family.
Xiao Bing said smilingly, âDonât worry. Iâm well aware of it.â
Jiang Wanting felt relieved and said, âIt gladdens my heart when you say that. Iâm afraid that you will seek vengeance from them.â
âEver since I moved to my mansion, the law and order has improved greatly. Perhaps you should buy me dinner to thank me?â
Jiang Wanting could not help laughing, âYou are a rascal and Iâm a cop⦠But privately, we are friends. Itâs normal to buy a friend dinner. So what do you want to eat and when will you be free? Iâm afraid that you wonât accept the invitation!â
Xiao Bing smiled and said, âCall me when we are both free.â
âI knew you were just kidding.â Jiang Wanting smiled and said, âAlright, I should start working on the cases. I have to go now.â
âBye.â
Xiao Bing knew that Jiang Wanting called him to convince him not to make it difficult for Lu Jinling. After all, there was a powerful family behind him. It was not good if he had too many enemies. Jiang Wanting did this because she was concerned about Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing was grateful for that. He always thought highly of this policewoman. Though she had a powerful background, she earned the position mainly by herself. She was serious about her work and the law, which were the qualities a good police should have. Xiao Bing always believed that if all the public servants could be like her, it would be bliss for the Cathaysian State.
But Xiao Bing decided not to spare Lu Jinling that easily. Xiao Bing was once a public servant who defended the interest of the country. But he was also ruthless when it came to injustice. Lu Jinling scared Xiao Bingâs sister and made her feel sad again. It was something unforgivable in Xiao Bingâs eyes.
Xiao Bing did not care if it was the Lu Family or not. Even if it was God who offended his family, he would confront God himself.
Every man has a thing that he cares most about. And if anyone tried to destroy it, the man will be outraged.
Xiao Bing then called King Kong, the West Heaven King. He said directly, âThe police will release those men soon. Donât let them leave Jiang City. Seize them and wait for me to come over.â
King Kong grinned, âBrother Bing, what if they resist? Should I kill them?â
Xiao Bing answered without thinking, âNo. Their sins are not enough to send them to their graves. But you can beat them up. Tell me the location and Iâll be there.â
King Kong laughed, âAlright. Brother Bing, donât worry. I will bring them to you.â
Xiao Bing smiled, âWe should hang out someday with the others.â
King Kong said hurriedly, âWe will prepare a feast to welcome you!â
After hanging up, Xiao Bing brought out the notebook about the art of Hypnotism. Though Xiao Bing was at the level of Breaking The Void, Xiao Bing knew that the art of Hypnotism was not as simple as it may seem. If his enemy was at the same level with him and had mastered the art of Hypnotism, his enemy would win in an unexpected way. There were so many intricate things in the notebook and Xiao Bing had not mastered all of them yet.
Xiao Bing took it out and began studying it carefully. The more he read, the more abstruse he believed it was. He was even shocked by its intense contents. If he could apply it in combat, he would at least be 20% or 30% more powerful.
Xiao Bing read it all day. But he did not realize this until Yezi came home, and asked him to have dinner. He stretched and got off from the bed. âMy legs are even a little numb.â He smiled bitterly.
Yezi cast him a glance and asked, âYou were reading the notebook Mr. Han gave you?â
âYes. There is so much for me to learn. I wonder how Mr. Han is nowâ¦â Xiao Bing suddenly missed the old man who had completely mastered the art of Hypnotism. If he could discuss it with that old man, his progress would definitely be faster. But Xiao Bing did not know where to find this man.
Xiao Bing turned on his phone and found he had several missed calls from West Heaven King. It seemed that the young master of Lu Family had been captured.
