Yingzi ran inside a dilapidated building while Xiao Bing was still deep in thought. Xiao Bing assumed that it was where she served the guests.

Xiao Bing did not want to get himself involved in this. Though prostitution was illegally and morally forbidden, Xiao Bing believed that these women made contributions to the decline in the crime rate. He never looked down on these women. If not for the money, who would let strangers be all over on her? Who would not want to be spoiled like a princess? In fact, they were just a group of miserable women.

Xiao Bing looked away, intending to leave. That was when he saw a furious-looking man walking out of the entrance. He heard a middle-aged woman swearing. “Yingzi, you really want it the hard way? Do you want another lesson from Brother Qiang? Don’t you remember your deal with Brother Qiang? You owe him 200,000! He wouldn’t be able to get the money even if he spends his entire life working for it! Now come back and make our dear guests happy!”

Xiao Bing felt uncomfortable upon hearing it. It was not that he did not want to help but there were simply too many women like her. Maybe some of them were inside that building and faced the same situation, either broke or poor. Xiao Bing did not know where to start even if he wanted to help.

Xiao Bing then returned home, still upset by what he just saw. Su Xiaoxiao was using the computer in her bedroom instead of studying. Xiao Bing felt that he needed to talk to someone. When he saw Xiaoxiao on her computer with her door unlocked, he decided to knock. Xiaoxiao turned her head and said, “Brother Bing? Come in!”

Xiao Bing walked in and caught a glimpse of her computer. He asked curiously, “Are you looking for something?”

“Yes. My family holds shares of the Xiaoxiao Noodle House as well. I can’t watch you run around while I sit here and do nothing. I just found several stores that are on sale. We can take a look at them this weekend.”

Xiao Bing noticed that she had written down the name and the address of the stores she deemed appropriate in her notebook. Her handwriting was as pretty as her face. “All of them are located in the business area of Jinsha District. I can go there with you tomorrow.”

Though it was always Yezi that accompanied him, Xiao Bing didn’t think it was appropriate to turn her down. It seemed that he needed to text Lil Bei and tell him to take a day off tomorrow.

Lil Bei had been secretly watching over Su Xiaoxiao for Xiao Bing recently. Every morning before the sun came up, he would appear at the entrance of the building. Then he would follow her to the campus and follow her again when she left the campus. He would only leave her when Xiao Bing returned home. The energy he spent on Xiaoxiao was no less that Xiao Bing’s. Since Xiao Bing would be with her all day, she did not need Lil Bei’s protection tomorrow. Thus, Lil Bei could take a day off.

Xiao Bing had not found any clue of the traitor from Xiaoxiao for a long time. Hence, he started to suspect the credibility of the words of that person, who called Su Peiya out and got her encircled and killed.

Xiao Bing decided to keep searching for clues in the Su family no matter if there was a traitor in the Dragon Gate. If the traitor was real, he wanted to know what the traitor would do next. And if there was an organization behind it, he wanted to know their next action as well. When Xiao Bing was in the Dragon Gate, his enemy operated in the dark while he moved around in broad daylight. Whether there was an organization or traitor, they all should gradually reveal themselves after Xiao Bing left the Dragon Gate.

Xiao Bing got into bed after a brief chat with Xiaoxiao. Then, he texted Lil Bei and called Yezi. He thought Yezi would be upset after finding out that he would be with Xiaoxiao tomorrow instead of her. Unexpectedly, Yezi agreed with great frankness.

Xiao Bing and Su Xiaoxiao began searching soon after they had their breakfast. While waiting for a taxi, Xiaoxiao took out her notebook and said, “The six stores I found on the Internet last night are all in Jinsha District. I could have added more on my list but the rest are either in a bad location or not big enough. Let’s visit them one by one.”

“Okay, where do we go first?”

“Let’s see… We can reach the nearest one in half an hour by bus. It is a hotel whose owner is planning to go abroad. So he wants to either sell or rent it to others. I think we better buy it directly since he might increase the rent if our business does well after taking over.”

“Besides, I believe that the land price will continue rising in the next two years. There is nothing but profit for us if we buy it.”

Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise. “Why do you know so much about business when you are just a soldier?”

“Well, I’m gifted.”

“In boasting, I suppose.” Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Xiao Bing became speechless…

Soon, they got on a crowded bus. Every weekend, the youngsters from the university town would hang out with their friends. Most would use the money they saved up on shopping or nice meals, so they usually chose to travel by bus. Thus, the buses were always crowded.

Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing were separated after getting on the bus. There were quite a few people between them. Xiao Bing noticed two young college girls standing in front of him and they were looking him up and down. He thought that they must have a thing for him because he believed himself to be incredibly handsome.

“It’s not impossible. I’m very handsome and way hotter than young college boys. At least I’m more attractive than the dudes from H country,” Xiao Bing thought to himself.

While he was flattering himself, one of the girls with an oval face asked timidly, “Excuse me… Are you the kungfu chef from the Xiaoxiao Noodle House?” Her eyes sparkled as she spoke.

“They only know me as a man who makes lamian?” Xiao Bing inwardly sighed. But he put on a smile and said, “Yes. You know me?”

“We tasted your lamina there. It’s really good. And you look really… handsome when making it…”

Xiao Bing’s eyes brightened instantly. There was an old saying, “Men can be attractive no matter they are soldiers or cooks.” Xiao Bing began to believe that it was true.

Xiao Bing cleared his throat and spoke with a stern face, “Making lamian is a holy job. We pour all our emotions into it so we can endow it with the flavor we want. You must not ignore lamian itself for my handsomeness. If you have time, I can give you a private lesson on the making of lamian…”

“Really?” The two girls seemed excited and infatuated, which expanded Xiao Bing’s confidence.

When Xiao Bing wanted to agree, he heard Xiaoxiao screaming. What came afterward was a clear slap and Xiaoxiao shouting, “Go to hell!”

Xiao Bing’s face changed instantly. He shouldered his way through the crowd and found a man rubbing his face, which was just slapped by Xiaoxiao. This man looked like a hooligan. Furious, he reached for Xiaoxiao’s neck. But instead of panicking like other girls, Xiaoxiao fought with this man. Maybe she shared the same strong genes as her sister. However, she was still a girl. Though she left some scratches on his face, the man grabbed her arms and even put one of his hands under her skirt. He leered and said, “Girl, this is what you get when you want it the hard way.”

Due to how crowded the bus was, the people nearby could barely stand on their feet while the two fought. Some began condemning the man when they realized that he wanted to take advantage of her. However, they shut their mouth when they saw him taking out a knife. No one was brave enough to help her.

The driver pulled over by the road and yelled at the man, “Don’t do anything stupid or we’ll call the police!”

“Damn you… You’ll regret if you call the cops. Now open the door!”

Perhaps out of guilt, he began thinking of getting away.

Afraid that this hooligan would do something dangerous, the driver immediately opened the door. The man walked to the door while holding Xiaoxiao as a hostage. He sighed in relief and said to Xiaoxiao ferociously, “Girl, you should feel lucky this time!”

He let go of her and got off the bus with his knife in hand. Suddenly, someone grabbed him by the hair. Realizing that this man was a desperado as well, he turned around and tried to stab the man with his knife. However, the man seized his arm and twisted it. Soon, he was screaming out in pain. His arm was broken, causing him to nearly pass out.

Xiao Bing lifted him up and shoved his head into the door with great force. Then, he kicked the man out of the bus.

Xiao Bing hopped out of the bus and looked at a pale-faced Xiaoxiao. “What happened?”

Su Xiaoxiao recovered her senses and pointed to the groaning hooligan on the floor. “He… He took advantage of the crowd to touch… my butt…”

Xiao Bing looked up and saw a decently-sized stick. He laughed and said, “So you are interested in butts. Well, so is this stick.”

All of a sudden, the stick cut through the hooligan’s trousers into his ass. He shrieked in pain and passed out.

The passengers who caught this scene trembled and subconsciously closed their thighs. Xiao Bing murmured, “This is a special move I learned before. It’s called the Flower Arrangement…”
