Chapter 233 Confession

Yezi sighed, “It is not because of you that I do this. The child is so poor that she can make anyone’s heartache. But I’m afraid that we will be too busy in the future to take good care of her. Well… I will try my best to stay with her.”

“And I will help you look after her… till everything is resolved.”

For Xiao Bing, there were still many things to be resolved at present, the first among which was the Long Family. If the Long Family was not destroyed and Master Hou fell, people around Xiao Bing would suffer unexpected calamities. No one could guarantee that because of him, the people who suffer would not include his friends in the end.

Hence, the Long Family must be destroyed, and Lord Long must die.

After dealing with the Long Family, he needed to continue the investigation into the traitor. Before that, Xiao Bing had to recover his strength. Otherwise, in his present condition, it would be difficult to convince the people back at the Dragon Gate, let alone investigate.

Moreover, if the manipulator behind this was really Mr. Buddha, and everything was his plan… Anyone from the Dragon Gate was close to the Gang-strength Stage, so Mr. Buddha’s strength was even more unfathomable. Only when Xiao Bing recovered his original strength, would he be able to avenge Su Peiya, or he would lose his life in vain.

This time he was lucky enough to kill the man of Buddhism, but he wouldn’t be so fortunate every time.

After everything is settled, Xiao Bing planned to retire from the world. Though he was still very young, he had seen more about life and death than most people would in a lifetime. The same with what he had possessed and lost. So for Xiao Bing, he was not interested in the life of fighting and killing, and the only person that could make his heart beat or move him might be Ye Xiaoxi, the girl right before him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Wanting went to open the door and then Master Hou, Mu Tingchuan and Miyamoto Shinji entered. Among these newcomers, Jiang Wanting thought Master Hou looked familiar, but she couldn’t think who he really was.

Master Hou nodded to Jiang Wanting. He had already investigated her in detail. She was the team leader of the Criminal Police Brigade in Jiang City. That was not the most important. What was more important was her family background – the director of the Department of Public Security, whom even Master Hou couldn’t offend.

After walking in, Master Hou nodded again at Ye Xiaoxi and then said to Yu Miao with a smile, “I didn’t expect nephew Xu to be here too.”

Yu Miao had seen Master Hou before, and he also knew that Master Hou’s politeness to him was only because of his father. He was also aware of Master Hou’s power, but he didn’t expect Master Hou to visit Xiao Bing in person…

Yu Miao had something in his mind, but he still said politely, “Master Hou, my father especially asked me to send his greetings to you.”

Master Hou, smiling very happily, said, “Thank your father for me, and I will visit him in person when I am free.”

Master Hou felt surprised inwardly to see the daughter whose father was the director of the Department of Public Security, the female leader of the Ye Family which was the economic backbone of Jiang City and the son of the assistant deputy of the provincial party committee in that ward. All these people were here because of Xiao Bing.

Master Hou was shocked but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He then walked to Xiao Bing’s bed, asking with great care, “Is the injury serious?”

“It’s all right,” Xiao Bing smiled, “Not serious enough to die.”

It seemed that as long as Xiao Bing was alive, no one could stop him from smiling.

“Well,” Master Hou said, nodding his head, “take good care of yourself. There won’t be much activity in the Long Family these days due to the severe crackdown, so you can relax. Who did that to you today? Was he someone from the Long Family? When I sent Miyamoto there, the fight had already ended.”

Xiao Bing shook his head, “Maybe.”

Some things couldn’t be revealed to Master Hou and it was natural for Xiao Bing to have his own plans. If he didn’t mention it, Master Hou would naturally think that the Long Family had done it, so he would be grateful to Xiao Bing and would feel a little guilty too. But if he knew the other side was a powerful opponent who came for Xiao Bing, one can’t be certain that Master Hou wouldn’t shake in his heart.

Sure enough, Master Hou said with a sigh, “I never expected the Long Family to have such a high-level master. My intelligence system was not good enough. That’s why you got into trouble.”

Standing next to him, Mu Tingchuan said, “When he heard that you were injured, Master Hou came here right away. It is so good to see that you’re all right, Mr. Xiao.”

“Mmm,” Xiao Bing said, “sorry to trouble you two, Master Hou and Mr. Tingchuan.”

Master Hou pretended to reprimand him, “Xiao Bing, what are you talking about? Have a good rest. Seeing you have so many friends here, I won’t disturb you now. I will make time to come and see you again.”

Master Hou looked at the others and said, “I’ll get going. I won’t bother you young people.”

Others just nodded while Yu Miao said, “I will find some time to visit Master Hou.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me. You are like family to me, so just come and be my guest. We’ll get going.”

Master Hou kept smiling until he left the ward, and then his smile disappeared and he said with a puzzle on his face, “I didn’t expect Xiao Bing to be connected to the Yu family too. Was there a personal relationship between Yu Miao and Xiao Bing? Or does Xiao Bing have connections with the Yu Family?”

Mu Tingchuan said cautiously, “I will send someone to look into it. But if Xiao Bing really has the support of the Yu Family…”

There was a waver in Master Hou’s eyes, but then he shook his head and said, “Trust the people you have employed and do not employ people you’re suspicious of. Xiao Bing is our ally, if the process of investigation draws his attention, then do not do it. Moreover, if Xiao Bing has a close relationship with the Yu Family, it will be favorable to us. Although the Long Family suffered a setback temporarily, they will retaliate crazily as soon as the crackdown is over. So we need Xiao Bing’s strength in different aspects. If he can get help from Yu Family, we will have a greater chance of winning.”

Mu Tingchuan couldn’t help saying with an emotional sigh, “I really admire your broad-mindedness, Master Hou.”

As soon as Master Hou and Mu Tingchuan left, Yu Miao said seriously to Xiao Bing, “Brother Bing, I want to talk with you.”

Xiao Bing said, smiling bitterly, “You want to talk to me about Kexin, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Yu Miao said, looking at Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi seriously, “Miss Ye, may I ask what’s the relationship between you and Brother Bing?”

Yu Miao is an intelligent person. Ye Xiaoxi’s nervousness when Xiao Bing was in danger, coupled with the intimacy between the two made it clear to Yu Miao that these two have a special relationship. That’s why the question arose.

Yu Miao was even a little angry that Xiao Bing was with Ye Xiaoxi while he flirted with Liu Kexin. Was he having two lovers at the same time? He had seen many such affairs in his circle and he didn’t approve of it. But if it involves the woman he likes, that’s different.

Xiao Bing knew he couldn’t keep it secret anymore, so he sighed and said with a bitter smile, “You are right. Yezi is my girlfriend.”

“Then you and Kexin…”

There was some anger in Yu Miao’s voice, but he was interrupted by Xiao Bing. He smiled bitterly and said, “Kexin and I are just ordinary friends.”

After seeing the doubt on Yu Miao’s face, Xiao Bing further explained, “I’m sure you know that Kexin has no feelings for you, but the Liu family owes the Yu Family for that big favor years ago, so the Liu Family certainly can’t refuse the marriage.”

Yu Miao’s misunderstanding of Xiao Bing disappeared and he was suddenly enlightened. He said, “So they made up an excuse that Kexin has a boyfriend and asked you to pretend to be one?”

“No, this was a decision between Liu Kexin and me, and her parents are unaware of it. Otherwise, with their character, they wouldn’t have agreed.”

Yu Miao was stupefied, then breathing a sigh, he said with a bitter smile, “I understand…”

Xiao Bing looked at Yu Miao earnestly and said, “I didn’t expect this to happen today. Truth will out and you found out eventually. But since you really like Liu Kexin, I feel you should not make it difficult for her, let alone use past events to pressurize her.”

Yu Miao laughed bitterly and said, “Do I look like that kind of person? I have said already that I am opposed to arranged marriages. However, I didn’t anticipate that Liu Kexin would be the girl that I would fall in love with at first sight. You can rest reassured that I won’t tell my parents this, let alone Kexin’s parents.”

Xiao Bing’s respect for Yu Miao went up a notch.

“I am not as noble as you think, but I wouldn’t do anything to embarrass others. If Kexin is forced to be with me and end up marrying me because of her family, what will I get out of that? Just a body. I will keep wooing Kexin while the one-month agreement is still valid.”

Xiao Bing’s face now showed surprise. Then he immediately smiled and said, “Well, Yu Miao, I can’t wait to see the results at the end of the month. Hmm, I have to say, though you look like a playboy, you are a real man at heart.”

Hearing that, everyone laughed and Xiao Bing was also relieved of a burden in his heart. After all, pretending to be a boyfriend was very tiring. However, he still felt faintly uncomfortable inside when Yu Miao said he would continue pursuing Liu Kexin. It was probably not true love, but Xiao Bing certainly had some feelings for her and men are innately possessive animals…

Ye Xiaoxi obviously had a lot to talk to Xiao Bing about, so Yu Miao and Jiang Wanting left in a hurry. They’d just stepped out of the room when a man and a woman rushed in like a gust of wind. The man is Lil Bei, and the woman Su Xiaoxiao.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Bing in his weak condition, she teared up and trying not to cry, she called, “Brother Bing.”

Yu Miao and Jiang Wanting turned back to look, and they both felt something. Yu Miao thought, “Xiao Bing is certainly a man who has caught a lot of attention…”
