On the way back, Tang Muxin asked Ling Xiaoyi in a low voice, “Sister Xiaoyi, Dali really brought these few people back with us. Do you think they might be talented? That sister is really pretty, comparable to Sister Nianwei.”
“The people that Young Master takes in should not be too bad…” Ling Xiaoyi was not sure either, but she was not too concerned about safety. Hong Dali escaped unscathed when he fell into that deep cave and was unharmed when he met the weird assassin. She did not believe that a few random people they met at the bar would pose a security issue. She was actually just thinking about the same thing as Tang Muxin. “We should be able to see as time passes. Young Master is going out to sea and will definitely need to bring a lot of sailors and such. It would probably be helpful to have a few more people along, just that we don’t know what they might be good at.”
Saying that, Ling Xiaoyi draped her arm over Tang Muxin and asked softly, “Miss Xinxin, do you not feel jealous? You actually asked Young Master to go hit on other girls. I could barely believe it.”
“Hehe, Dali is an idiot when it comes to love.” Tang Muxin scrunched her cute little nose up. “I’m not worried about him. If he were a pervert, all the beautiful ladies around him would have fallen prey already. But look, Xiaoyi, aren’t they all perfectly fine?”
That was true. If Hong Dali was a pervert, his fiancée Tang Muxin would be the first to fall prey to him.
Having thought that, Ling Xiaoyi covered her mouth and laughed softly. “That’s true. Hehe.”
…
Ling Xiaoyi and Tang Muxin chatted as they walked in front. Hong Dali was also chit-chatting with the mixed-blood beauty and the Angel of Misfortune.
“Pretty sister.” Hong Dali chuckled and asked the mixed-blood beauty, “My name is Hong Dali, what’s yours?”
“My name is Christina, pleased to make your acquaintance.” Christina was very glad that she had managed to meet Hong Dali that day. After all, Hong Dali was practically a legendary figure. Not everyone had the chance to become his friend.
“So, Sister Christina, what skills do you have?” Hong Dali asked. “I should be going out to sea tomorrow, will you come have some fun with me? Beaches, sun, and lots of cute little animals. I want to catch a big octopus!”
“Me.” The corners of Christina’s lips turned up, revealing an alluring smile. Purposely or otherwise, she joked. “I know how to kill people. Young Master, are you afraid?”
The Angel of Misfortune’s eyebrow gave a visible twitch when he heard Christina’s answer. He gave her a casual glance before turning his head away. The beauty did not seem to mean any harm. He smiled and said, “Miss Christina is being really scary, I’m scared.”
“Killing people is good.” Hong Dali seemed completely unaffected. “I have heard that there are many pirates out on sea who kill without batting an eyelid! If Miss Christina is good at killing people, then we are safe, hehe.”
“Pirates?” Christina muttered under her breath before breaking into a huge sunny smile. “All right! When we get out on the sea, I will be sure to protect Young Master Dali.”
“Hehe, Sister Christina is the best!” Hong Dali was pleased. He asked the Angel of Misfortune, “What about you, handsome, what’s your name? What are your skills?”
“My name is Ferguson.” The Angel of Misfortune shrugged his shoulders as he grinned. He completely concealed his real name. “As for my skills… does hitting on girls count? Other than this, I’m not very good at anything else.”
“Yes, this is not bad too.” Hong Dali looked at the Angel of Misfortune from top to toe. He rubbed his chin and thought about it. “Brother Ferguson is rather handsome. Do you know how to navigate a ship?”
The Angel of Misfortune shook his head resolutely. “No. I have never been out to sea.”
“That makes things difficult.” Hong Dali gave it some careful consideration. “All right, we will see when the time comes. I reckon we will be leaving tomorrow. Ferguson and this sister, please pack your things tonight and gather at Chenhui Building early tomorrow. We will head over together. I still don’t know this sister’s name.”
“I’m Mu Yunyun.” Mu Yunyun smiled. “You can consider me his girlfriend.”
Mu Yunyun did not understand why Vincent hid his real name, but she was an intelligent lady and did not call him out on it. She just greeted Hong Dali normally. Her little girlfriends and partying friends would not dare to cozy up to Hong Dali and had all gone on their way. Of course, the story of how Hong Dali hit on girls was one that had to be spread far and wide.
Just like that, Hong Dali’s unintentional afternoon drive brought him three strange new friends…
…
That night. Tianjing City, outskirts, National Security Bureau.
“Bureau Chief, Young Master Dali first took a two-hour nap after he went back today, then he went to the Golden Rose Bar on the fourth floor of Tian Long Plaza. He came out with three people,and it seems like he will be going out to sea with them.” In the Bureau Head’s office, Mu Huishou respectfully reported the latest news on Hong Dali.
“Okay, have you checked out the identities of the three people?” The Bureau Chief drew idly on the table with his finger. Hong Dali was now a very important person. Although his luck was so good that it defied the heavens, matters of security still had to be looked into.
“We are checking it now.” Mu Huishou replied slowly. “There are a total of two men and a woman. The man is named Ferguson, but I checked and he is using a false name. His real name is Vincent Iverson, but because he is a foreigner, we could only find out what he has been up to since arriving in the Heavenly State. The confirmed news we have now is that Vincent Iverson is a geek, and is in a relationship with one of the two women, Mu Yunyun. The one thing he does every day is play games with Mu Yunyun. The game they play is the one developed by Young Master Dali, Dream Dota League.”
“Yes. Nerd, likes gaming, named Vincent Iverson…” The Bureau Chief muttered. “Strange character. Did you manage to find out why he is getting close to Hong Dali?”
“This… speaking of which…” Mu Huishou could not suppress his laughter when this matter was mentioned. “He got to know Young Master Dali while fighting over a girl…”
“What? What did you say?” The Bureau Chief opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief. “Hong Dali fought with someone over a girl? Is the sun rising from the west?” It was no wonder he was so surprised. The fact that Hong Dali was an idiot when it came to love was known to all…
“Actually, it’s not Young Master Hong Dali’s fault…” The expression on Mu Huishou’s face was extremely strange. “The incident started with one of the two women, the foreigner called Christina. She was attracting all sorts of attention at the bar and Vincent’s girlfriend challenged him to go hit on her, to see if he would succeed. Just then, Young Master Dali entered the bar. Miss Tang Muxin saw the beauty and thought she might be a talent, so she asked Hong Dali to go hit on her, too…”
“The bunch of little brats with nothing else better to do.” The Bureau Chief chided laughingly. “The things they do, they really are… but come to think of it, does Dali know how to hit on girls?”
“Not only does he know how to, he eventually succeeded…” Mu Huishuo could barely contain his laughter. “I suddenly realized that Young Master Dali not only knows how to squander, he’s also quite good at hitting on girls…”
“Oh? Quickly tell me. This emotional idiot actually hit on a girl?” The Bureau Chief was obviously intrigued. “What did he say?”
“Young Master Dali walked over and the first thing he said was, ‘Pretty sister, did you drop this gold brick?’” Mu Huishou mimicked Hong Dali’s pose, and it really looked like him. “At that time, everyone was totally stunned.”
“This… this brat!” The Bureau Chief burst out laughing. “You don’t say! He actually has quite a way! Hahaha!”
“Yes.” Mu Huishou chuckled. “The place went silent. Then, Vincent, unwilling to lose, gifted Christina with a rose. At that time, Young Master Dali said, ‘Pretty Sister, come to my house and help me spend some money!’”
“Hahahaha! This brat!” The Bureau Chief slapped his leg in mirth. “He actually came up with such a novel way of hitting on girls! Haha!”
“I’m increasingly in awe of Young Master Dali now.” Mu Huishou admired him from the bottom of his heart. “Young Master Dali is indeed extraordinary!”
“Yes.” After laughing for a while, the Bureau Chief suddenly asked, “What about Christina? What’s her story?”
“Chinese-French mixed blood.” Mu Huishou replied. “Really beautiful. She had only just arrived a few days ago. The time she spent here is short, so we have not found any problems with her yet. As for the other one, Mu Yunyun, yes, her family background is quite normal, but she is rather interesting. She was hurt in a relationship previously and is feeling sorry for herself. She is a hostess but not a particularly wanton one. She has some money and likes to play Dream Dota League. It’s also a coincidence that she got to know Vincent. Vincent was bored and she wanted to find someone to play with her. The two of them have the same hobbies, so they hit it off. Their relationship is rather strange.”
“Strange relationship.” The Bureau Chief rubbed his chin and said, “If nothing unexpected happens, Hong Dali should be setting out to sea tomorrow. You must pay extra attention to the matter of Hong Dali’s safety. Pick three hundred of our super soldiers to go onboard, cover every aspect of Hong Dali’s safety. If the three people have no ulterior motives, then fine. Once anything strange is detected, immediately throw them in the sea. Remember, Hong Dali’s safety is of the utmost importance. Nothing else matters.”
“Okay, I understand!”
After Mu Huishou left, the Bureau Chief gazed at the bright moonlight outside the window and muttered, “This brat, he is finally getting ready to change the world. I wonder what he will get up to on the sea this time. I’m actually filled with anticipation. There’s not much room left for expansion inside Tianjing City. This little brat, however, in just a few short months, hehe…
“As for the Resource Chamber of Commerce, my formation should be almost complete. All that is needed now is a fuse to light…”
