“Of course, of course.” Hong Dali didn’t have any awareness of being a mascot. He stretched out his hand and lightly held Mu Huishou’s hand. “Then, from now on, you will have to help me help, hehe.”

This is really cool, isn’t it? The National Security Bureau! Even someone from the National Security Bureau is shaking hands with me and chatting with me!

“Hehe, these are all small matters.” Mu Huishou didn’t forget to do Hong Dali a favor. “I heard that you are looking for a small hooligan called Bighead? I will help you look for him.”

Look at that, he is really good at building connections, isn’t he? Hong Dali decisively waved his hand. “Reward everyone 5,000!”

Instantly, a male lackey ran up and started counting money.

Mu Huishou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Young Master Dali, this… there is no need for this, right?”

“Just take it.” Hong Dali opened the door. “This isn’t considered a bribe. All those who are around my age and that I feel comfortable with, I will tip them. Haha, OK, I’m going home to sleep now.”

The matters here had come to an end. Thus, Hong Dali instantly got on the car and left.

“Boss, what do you feel about this mascot? He seems quite easy to bluff!” After Hong Dali left, a young man from the National Security Bureau looked at the direction Hong Dali left and asked.

“Easy to bluff? This kid isn’t simple.” Mu Huishou put on a thoughtful expression and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, throwing one to the young man.

“This can’t be, I have followed you around in our department for five to six years and have seen all kinds of situations before. This small kid, what’s not simple about him?” White Wolf 1 caught the cigarette, put it below his nose and violently sniffed it, looking at his boss incredulously.

“Old Bai 2 , remember, in this field, your eyes must be sharp. On the appearance, this kid seems to always laugh about and never seems serious. However, in reality, he isn’t easy to bluff at all.”

Mu Huishou took a puff, his eyes squinted, radiating lights of wisdom. “Don’t you feel that he is like a sly fox? He looks very harmless, but in fact, he is quite cunning. Especially his attitude of not showing much concern for anything. Towards such a person, the only thing we can do is to maintain a good relationship with him!”

If Hong Dali heard this, he would definitely bite him to death! Since when was he cunning? That’s called cute! Cute!

“But he is already 18 this year, he just completed his coming of age ceremony!” White Wolf still felt unconvinced. Being their boss, Mu Huishou rarely ever commented on someone so seriously.

“White Wolf, didn’t you always ask me what happened about that incident in the past?” Mu Huishou threw down his cigarette and violently stepped on it. Then, he found a rock and sat down on it, lighting up another cigarette and taking in a deep puff.

White Wolf admired this boss from the bottom of his heart. Since the first day he entered the National Security Bureau, he knew that this person was the hero who wiped out the international drug trafficking organization, Cobra.

However, Mu Huishou had never told him what exactly happened on that incident before. Hearing he mentioning about it himself today, White Wolf instantly felt curious.

“Do you know how Cobra was wiped out that year?” Mu Huishou’s expression was quite marvelous.

It contained a bit of longing and even some envy.

White Wolf couldn’t believe his eyes. The boss who was never concerned about his own death and was ranked third in fighting skills in the whole army actually showed envy. This strange scene caused White Wolf’s heart to feel a sense of coldness. He knew that what his boss said next would definitely be shocking.

“Wasn’t it said that they were wiped out by 200 special forces from the counternarcotics trafficking department?” White Wolf asked.

“Two hundred special forces?” Mu Huishou put on a ridiculing bitter smile, and in a hoarse voice that could cause people’s heart to ache, said, “There were indeed 200 special forces, and I was one of the leaders then. However, there was only one person who went and killed Cobra’s leader, a real martial arts master!”

Mu Huishou’s expression was slightly obsessed now. It was apparent how deeply that incident had affected him. As someone who had gone through blood and chaos before, his body actually started to tremble. “One person infiltrated their main base and killed their leader with only one move!”

White Wolf’s mouth was already wide open, he didn’t even felt the cigarette burning his fingers.

“You must be curious who that person is, right?” Mu Huishou took in a deep breath and didn’t hold back this time. “Even until now, I still don’t know his name. However, he has a nickname—Iron Bear. And his master is called Long-Armed Ape.

“You might be unfamiliar with this name, but you will know who I’m talking about once I mention another person.

“That Geezer Wang who was with Hong Dali, Soaring Eagle Wang Daoming, is Long-Armed Ape’s senior fellow apprentice.”

White Wolf was shocked to the point of falling down on his butt.

He couldn’t accept this fact, definitely not! Although it was an actual fact, a fact that was like a fantasy story!

Being a member of the National Security Bureau, White Wolf naturally knew who Geezer Wang was. However, he never thought that this Geezer Wang was actually so strong! The senior fellow apprentice of Long-Armed Ape! Long-Armed Ape’s apprentice alone was able to single-handedly kill the leader of Cobra when they were all armed with modern weapons!

“He is a tiger under the disguise of a pig!” Mu Huishou sighed and said, “This kid is followed by all kinds of strong and powerful people, yet he doesn’t know it himself. Saying that he is a tiger under the disguise of a pig is already a compliment to him.

“He isn’t pretending to be a pig, he really is a pig! But the problem is, this pig is a bit large, a bit demonic. I think that using Zhu Bajie 3 to describe him is quite apt. On the surface, he seems easy going and a bit cute, but whoever becomes his enemy, that nine-toothed rake will definitely smash their head.

“Our Tianjing City’s mascot isn’t as simple as he looks, hehe.”

…

“Xinxin, you’re home now. Hurry up and go sleep, I shall see you tomorrow.” After sending Tang Muxin to her house district’s gate, Hong Dali got down the car and stretched his waist. The bright moonlight hung on his shoulder, giving him a starlight-glittering appearance.

“Goodbye then.” Seeing the current Hong Dali, Tang Muxin slightly lowered her head. She didn’t know why, but her heart was jumping furiously. Pump! Pump! Her face was very hot, like having a fever, and she didn’t dare to look at Hong Dali’s eyes.

If it were day time now, Tang Muxin’s shy expression would definitely attract the sight of numerous people. The rate of people looking back would be at least 90%. If there were objects like lamp-posts and such, it would definitely cause some casualties.

Hong Dali looked at her snow-white neck that was smooth like silk, seeing her dillydallying lowering her head and just standing there, not talking and not going home either. His eyes filled with curiosity, he asked, “Xinxin, what are you thinking about? Why are you not going home now?”

In the car, Wang Mingyu palm-faced.

What a wonderful opportunity, yet this prodigal missed it just like that…

Looks like he doesn’t only squander on money, he also squanders on opportunities too, AHHH!

At times like this, shouldn’t he romantically hug her, kiss her on the mouth and such, then say “I love you” or something like that!? But Young Master Dali, what is he doing AHHH!

“Then, I shall be going home now.” Tang Muxin was a bit shy and also obviously a bit disappointed too. After lifting up her head and saying that, she hurriedly added, “Then, you should also hurry up and go home and sleep. Sleeping early and waking up early is good for the body.” Speaking of which, this was the first time she actively showed concern for Hong Dali.

“Me? I shall see about that.” Hong Dali touched his chin and looked at the starry sky. “After I go back, I still have to go online a while, then bath. Oh right, then I will go into the game and see how Yao Tianhao is doing with our Grand League…” His words were really asking for a beating, weren’t they!

Indeed, as he said so, Tang Muxin’s eyebrows slowly went up.

After Hong Dali was done with his words, Tang Muxin walked up and violently stomped on his foot, causing him to jump in pain. She loudly said, “You big moron, I hate you! Tomorrow after school, you are not allowed to come and find me, you hear me!”

After saying that, she turned around and ran. As she ran, she gloomily said, “This moron, prodigal, he is really going to anger me to death!” Her lithe footsteps caused her to seemingly become a fairy. A slightly angered fairy.

But Hong Dali was left in pain and sorrow. He hugged one leg and hopped about in circles, his face full of weird expressions. “What the heck, I was just speaking the truth, why is she so fierce towards me!? It’s really painful to step on someone like this, OK!”

Driver Wang Mingyu palm-faced again and muttered, “My god, Young Master Dali’s nerves… Forget it, I shan’t report about this matter. Otherwise, Master and Madam will surely go and jump off the building.”

“This lass, why did she become so violent in the middle of the night!?” Hong Dali mumbled as he got on the car and depressingly said, “Uncle Wang, don’t you think that Xinxin’s temper should change a bit? She bullies me for no reason, and I can’t even win her in a fight!”

Wang Mingyu: “…”

Hong Dali: “Uncle Wang, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Wang Mingyu’s back was full of sweat and helplessly said, “Yup, someone should really do something about her temper.”

But when he heard Wang Mingyu said that, Hong Dali instead felt a bit unable to bear it. “Never mind, forget it. Speaking of which, I have been at the losing end all this time, it doesn’t matter for it to happen one more time. How does that saying goes, losing something is a fortune! I’m at the losing end all the time, so my fortune will also be very full, haha!”

Hearing Hong Dali’s words, Wang Mingyu quite approved of it too. Hong Dali could understand the logic of losing was a fortune at such a young age, this was very good indeed. There was a very good saying, “if one loses a lot over small matters, they would be able to enjoy large fortunes and large advantages!”

Speaking of which, if it weren’t because Hong Dali suffered a lot of small disadvantages last time, how would he be able to gain advantages over everything he did now?

Wang Mingyu laughed and said, “Only after being able to stand disadvantages will you then be able to enjoy advantages. Loss and gain, you can only gain something after you lose something. Young Master Dali is very clear about this!”

“Oh my, that’s why people say that those people who are highly experienced can say brilliant words.” Hong Dali was overjoyed. “Hearing Uncle Wang say this, I feel much more comfortable now, haha!”

“Haha.” Wang Mingyu smiled and said, “Young Master Dali is a straightforward person. Then, let’s go now?”

“Let’s go.” Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Let’s go back home now!”
