None of the Xie Family knew about the kidnapping of Xie Gucheng until 3 AM. A sturdy man woke up at the crack of dawn. He looked around and was startled when he saw the vacant wheel chair. He instantly roused the man beside him and the two rushed toward Xie Gucheng’s bedroom door.
Xie Lun and his wife were sleeping, but they were woken up by the sound of the door being broken down. Xie Lun immediately sat up and put his hand on his wife’s chest, but felt his hand sticky and he even smelt fish. Trembling, he reached out his other hand and turned the lights on. He was extremely shocked by what he saw next. He shrieked out of panic while pointing at his wife. He even fainted after his eyes rolled back.
His wife was frightened as well. She reached out her hands and soon found they were covered with blood. Then she fixed her eyes on the bed and saw a bloody dog head lying between their pillows.
When the two man broke in, they found the couple both unconsciousness, which shocked the both of them. They instantly woke up all others in the mansion and called the ambulance.
The news that morning was reporting that Xie Gucheng, the only living son of Xie Lun, appeared naked in the downtown area in the middle of the night, along with the news that Xie Lun and his wife were sent to the hospital because of their heart attacks, and their lives were at risk.
After getting up from bed, Xiao Bing gently knocked on Xiaoxiao’s door. Xiaoxiao answered the door while still wearing her pajamas, and her eyes were bloodshot.
“You look appalling,” said Xiao Bing with concern on his face, “Don’t go anywhere today. Just rest at home. You were definitely frightened last night.”
“Okay…” Xiaoxiao sighed, “I just can’t understand why my classmate wants to harm me. I just wanted to celebrate her birthday. I passed out right after I drank the shot she gave me.”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover,” Xiao Bing sighed, “The Xie family is wealthy. Your friend could be bribed. Maybe she was in it for the money or they threatened her with her family. Anyway… I intended to avenge for you, but I thought it would be better if you handled it yourself. I can’t do what I did to the rascals to a girl who was led astray.”
“I see.” Xiaoxiao sighed again, “I’ll fix it myself.”
“Go rest. I have something to take care of… This is not a coincidence. I promised your sister that I’d look after you, so I can’t let anything happen to you anymore.”
“Thank you.” Xiaoxiao said sternly while looking at him. “If it were not for you yesterday…”
“Don’t say that. I should go now.”
Xiaoxiao’s eyes gleamed with tears while she stared at his back.
Xiao Bing directly went into the kitchen after he walked into the noodle house. Dumbass was trimming the vegetables. Xiao Bing patted him on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go. I’m giving you a day off. Let’s have some fun.
Dumbass put down the vegetables and his eyes brightened, “Really? You’re not lying to me? Will there be any deductions? Will you let me starve?”
Xiao Bing grinned, “Of course not. I’ll take you to dinner night.”
Patting his chest, Dumbass said, “I’ll do whatever Brother Bing says.”
Then Xiao Bing said to Wang Guifang, “Auntie Wang, we have something to do today. It seems that you have lots of work to do today.”
“Just do it. There will be no problem.”
Xiao Bing pondered for a while and said, “By the way, I believe that the store next to us will be transferred to us soon.”
According to that IOU, the store would be transferred if Zhu Liya couldn’t pay her debt in time. Since Zhu Liya was gone, it was impossible for her to pay the debt. Even if she had a lawyer, Xiao Bing could pay the rest and take the store according to the contract.
Wang Guifang’s eyes brightened instantly. “Really?”
She had been waiting for the expansion for a very long time. Though it was just a small noodle house, there were many customers every day. They would be in need of more workers if the expansion was finished, which would reduce their workload. Recently they all felt exhausted when they got home. Although their payment was raised, they didn’t want to risk their health.
Grinning, Xiao Bing nodded and patted Dumbass on the shoulder. Then he left the noodle house with Dumbass. On their way to North Mansion, Lil Bei had acquired the North Heaven Queen’s information and given it to Xiao Bing.
The North Heaven Queen, also known as the Peony Fairy, female, was the boss of the north section of Jiang City and she usually lived in the North Mansion. The other three Heavenly Kings also had their own mansions in Jiang City. They were respectively named after a cardinal direction: the East Mansion, the West Mansion and the South Mansion. In the North Mansion stood the Heavenly Queen Pavilion, where the queen lived, and the Heavenly Queen Hall, which was used as a meeting room.
That was where Xiao Bing wanted to have fun with Dumbass.
The taxi had to stop at the gate because the guard wouldn’t let the car in. Xiao Bing got out of the car after he paid the driver.
Looking at the tall iron gate, Dumbass asked in a silly tone, “Brother Bing, what should we do. They won’t open the gate. Can we jump over it?”
Xiao Bing grinned, “It’s you and me. We don’t need to jump.”
Confused, Dumbass opened his eyes wide. Xiao Bing approached the gate and gently patted the iron bar. He took a glance at the two guards inside and asked, “You won’t open it?”
One of the guards waved his hand impatiently, “Piss off. This is no place for peasants.”
“Alright,” Xiao Bing pointed at the heavy gate and turned around, “Dumbass, you’re a strong guy. Smash it open.”
Dumbass was surprised, “My mom said that good kids don’t go into other people’s houses without an invitation.”
“But our dinner is in this house. You can’t have your dinner if you don’t break in.”
All of a sudden, Dumbass pounced on the gate like a bull. Soon the lock was broken, which was witnessed by the two guards. They were both startled.
“I thought you needed an invitation?” asked Xiao Bing.
Dumbass put on a silly and proud smile, “My mom also said that I’m a man now, not a child anymore.”
Xiao Bing laughed out loud, “Alright. Let’s go inside.”
The two guards gathered around in flurry. Although they were extremely frightened, they spoke in a stern voice, “Stop. You can’t go inside without the queen’s order.”
Dumbass took a glimpse at Xiao Bing, “What should we do.”
“Beat whoever stands in your way.”
Without saying a word, Dumbass rushed toward the two and lifted them up. Then he threw them away like a shot put. The other guards who were rushing this way all saw the two drawing a perfect parabola and falling hard on the ground.
Smilingly, Xiao Bing stepped in. Dumbass got so excited upon seeing so many guards dashing toward him. He even jumped for joy, “Brother Bing, didn’t you say that we would play a game. What kind of game is this?”
“Xiao Bing Breaking into the Heavenly Queen Hall with Dumbass beating the guards.”
Seemingly excited, Dumbass even improvised a piece of Beijing Opera.
Then he rushed into the crowd in rhythm like a brave general in the opera. These were all rascals working for the North Heaven Queen. They had some martial arts training, but Dumbass was far better than them. Their fist movements were nothing to him.
All of the guards were knocked down one by one as Xiao Bing walked to the Heavenly King Hall. He arrived at his destination without moving a finger.
Two men dashed out of the hall at that moment. Their eyes were piercing and their steps were steady. Their bodies cracked as they stretched them, which made them seem unfathomable.
The two cupped one hand in the other before their chest,” Zhang Fei, Zhang Yang of the bone refining stage await for your lesson.”
Dumbass brightened his eyes, “Finally, I have two opponents who are worthy of my time.”
But Xiao Bing appeared in front of the two like black thunder and punched them hard in the chest. Blood soon began gushing out of their mouths and they were blown into the hall by the force and fainted. No one knew how long they had been in the air.
“Damn, why didn’t you let me do it?”
Grinning, Xiao Bing said, “They are more of them if the fun so far is not enough. Let’s go in!”
Xiao Bing stepped into the hall with a big stride. The guards in the hall almost choked on the formidable air Xiao Bing was giving out.
There were many guards in the hall, but Xiao Bing didn’t see one with true power, let alone the Peony Fairy of the North District. Looking imposing, Xiao Bing looked around and stomped on the ground with great force. Soon the cement began to crack like a web, which made the frightened guards fall back.
While looking imposing and dominating, Xiao Bing shouted with unparalled confidence, “Where’s the Fairy? Xiao Bing is about to mess around!”
Xiao Bing did not chose the word ‘visit’ like other people.
Xiao Bing was confident and domineering. No one could be angry Xiao Bing’s match!
