“I have a pass.”
Xue Yanchen answered, raising his right hand with a noble and elegant gesture, like a young nobleman.
The lookout's mind raced, wondering if this was a scion of some important figure.
Xue Yanchen reached into his shirt and rummaged around, but found nothing. Taking advantage of the lookout's inattention, he swiftly chopped the man across the neck with a chop. The lookout felt dizzy and his eyes rolled back. Xue Yanchen immediately covered his mouth with one hand and caught him with the other, carefully and stealthily dragging him to a secluded corner. He only put him down after confirming that the man was completely unconscious.
Soon after, the police arrived and arrested everyone in the casino.
Among these people were the children of cadres and factory leaders, as well as street thugs and minor gang leaders.
The police operation resulted in the arrest of more than ten people, including casino managers and gamblers, making it a very successful operation.
Li Jianguo was ruthlessly handcuffed with silver bracelets by the police. Only then did he feel afraid. In his panic, he actually brought up his father's name.
"My father is Director Li of the Revolutionary Committee. Please let me go."
But Cheng Tianming wasn't afraid of him at all: "I don't care who your father is. Before the laws of the country, everyone is equal. Even the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people."
The police took them away, while on the other hand, more than ten people, both buyers and sellers, were arrested in the brothel.
Xue Yanchen waited nearby for a while but did not find the person he was working with. After the police left, he prepared to go to the police station to find Luo Jingyan.
However, he hadn't gone far when Luo Jingyan emerged from an alley.
"Big brother."
Luo Jingyan called out to him. She originally planned to go and greet Xue Yanchen first, say a few words, and then go home to find their own mothers. But no, Xue Yanchen's mother wasn't here, so he couldn't find her for the time being.
She walked up to Xue Yanchen and said, "Big brother, this collaboration was really enjoyable. That guy has been caught, all thanks to you."
"We've worked together and helped each other, and your contribution has been significant too."
"Brother, we've avenged ourselves. I'm going home now. You should go home and find your wife too."
Xue Yanchen nodded and said, "I'll go home after I send the anonymous letter."
"I'll go with you." Otherwise, it would seem disloyal.
"No need, I can go by myself."
"Then be careful."
Don't worry.
It was almost noon when Xue Yanchen called out to him, "Young man, since we've met and dealt with a common enemy, it's lunchtime. Let's go to the state-run restaurant and have a meal together."
Luo Jingyan's stomach growled at that very moment, as if deliberately echoing Xue Yanchen's words.
He chuckled and said, "Young man, even if you say you're not hungry, your stomach won't listen."
"Alright then, it's on you."
"No need. Since I suggested having dinner, I should definitely treat you. I can't take advantage of you."
"Brother, you're so loyal."
Before they even reached the entrance of the state-run restaurant, they encountered Qin Zhenzhen riding a bicycle. Qin Zhenzhen quickly got off her bike and asked, "Comrade Dong Xiao, cousin, what are you doing together?"
Luo Jingyan: She also wanted to know why it was such a coincidence that she ended up with the two of them in this situation.
Xue Yanchen said, "Zhenzhen, so you know this young man. We're on our way to eat at the state-run restaurant. Have you ever eaten there? Let's eat together."
“Okay, it’s my treat,” Qin Zhenzhen said solicitously.
Xue Yanchen was surprised by Qin Zhenzhen's generosity in treating the two of them at once. His cousin must not have done this for no reason. Could it be related to this Comrade Dong Xiao?
Luo Jingyan said, "It's too much of a shame for the girls to treat us. Let me treat you."
Qin Zhenzhen said, "Comrade Dong Xiao, thank you so much for your help last time. I've been wanting to invite you to dinner, but I haven't had the chance. Now that we've finally met, please don't refuse again."
Luo Jingyan said, "That Li Jianguo has been arrested, so he won't have a chance to harass you anymore."
The three of them entered the state-run restaurant together, talking as they walked. Luo Jingyan told Qin Zhenzhen about how she and Xue Yanchen had brought down Li Jianguo. To avoid being overheard by others, they spoke very softly, so that only the three of them could hear them.
Qin Zhenzhen also told Xue Yanchen about how Li Jianguo threatened her and how Dong Xiao helped her out of the predicament.
Xue Yanchen then learned that Qin Zhenzhen had also been threatened by Li Jianguo. Fortunately, that guy had been punished and would never be able to act arrogantly again.
“That Li Jianguo is too despicable and arrogant; he should be arrested,” Qin Zhenzhen said.
When ordering food, Qin Zhenzhen tried her best to ask Luo Jingyan what dishes she liked and what her dietary restrictions were.
Luo Jingyan said politely, "I'm not picky about food, I'll eat whatever you order."
Qin Zhenzhen was afraid that he would feel wronged, so she said, "Comrade Dong Xiao, you don't need to be so polite with me. Just tell me what you want to eat. I'm afraid you won't like the dishes I order."
Luo Jingyan could only suggest two vegetarian dishes: "Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar and braised eggplant."
"Okay." Qin Zhenzhen agreed and immediately asked the waiter to add two meat dishes.
After ordering, before Xue Yanchen could even order anything, she returned to the table and sat down next to "Dong Xiao".
Xue Yanchen asked Qin Zhenzhen, "Cousin, what should I eat?"
Qin Zhenzhen then realized that she had forgotten about her cousin. She asked Xue Yanchen what dishes he wanted to eat and then went back to tell the waiter.
Xue Yanchen suddenly realized that he was completely outshone by this "Dong Xiao" in front of his cousin. His cousin valued Dong Xiao much more than he valued him.
During the meal, Qin Zhenzhen used serving chopsticks to put food and meat on Luo Jingyan's plate, saying, "Comrade Dong Xiao, please eat more."
Luo Jingyan smiled faintly, "No need to be polite, I can do it myself."
Qin Zhenzhen still took meticulous care of her. "Comrade Dong Xiao, I want to repay your kindness to me, so please don't stand on ceremony with me."
Luo Jingyan felt that Qin Zhenzhen was being too nice to her, so she used serving chopsticks to put a piece of pork rib on Qin Zhenzhen's plate: "You eat too."
Two blushes immediately appeared on Qin Zhenzhen's face, which Luo Jingyan could see; it was the shyness unique to a young woman.
Why did Qin Zhenzhen make that expression?
Then, a shocking idea popped into her head.
Could it be that Qin Zhenzhen has fallen for her while she's dressed as a man?
She glanced subconsciously at Xue Yanchen sitting opposite her. This love triangle was so bizarre. If these two siblings knew they liked the same person, would they fight each other and kill one another?
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh.
The two people next to her, seeing her laughing for no apparent reason, asked her together, "Comrade Dong Xiao, what's wrong?"
Luo Jingyan waved her hand: "It's nothing. I just remembered some fun things from my childhood and couldn't help it."
