"This time I asked you to come out of retirement, mainly to ask for your help in dealing with a few people, one of whom is..."
Qing Bo waved his hand and interrupted Sun Zhende: "I will only help you to deal with the people. You only need to give me the list. You don't need to tell me their identities."
The words were not loud, but they were resounding. This was the confidence that came from a master of dark energy.
"Yes, these people are quite troublesome. They keep targeting our Sun family and hinder our plans, so they must be eliminated as soon as possible." Sun Zhende said quickly.
"I don't need a reason, just provide information." Qing Bo said.
"Okay, Uncle Qing will stay at the hotel tonight. I will host a welcome party for him and wait for him to solve these problems for me tomorrow." Sun Zhende said.
"No need to bother. I'll take care of these things tonight and then leave Yanjing." Qing Bo shook his head. "Those who practice martial arts are indifferent to other things besides the pursuit of martial arts."
"So there's no need for welcoming guests or anything like that."
"This...is." There was some embarrassment on Sun Zhende's face.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the other party, perform well, and maybe be able to invite this god in the future.
But the other party didn't give him any chance at all. It seemed that this was the only way for now.
After all, the other party is the most powerful person he can meet.
For people like Xiao Chen and Tao Meng, killers brought in from abroad are useless, so they have no choice but to mobilize people from the underworld.
Tao Meng went to deal with a crime scene, and it was already one o'clock in the morning when he finished.
Liu Xiao followed her closely and then sent her home.
After getting off the car at her doorstep, her home was still a little way down a bluestone alley.
"Brother, I'm already here. You don't have to send me home. It's getting late. You should go back."
After getting off the car, Tao Meng turned around and said.
"It's still quite a distance. I won't feel at ease until I see you come in." Liu Xiao said with a smile.
"Really, there's no need. It's only a few hundred meters away."
Tao Meng looked directly at Liu Xiao and said, "I am an adult too. I have the ability to protect myself."
"I'd better take you to the door." Liu Xiao sighed.
"Liu Xiao." Tao Meng suddenly got angry: "Why are you protecting me so much?"
"It's because..." Liu Xiao didn't know how to answer.
"Is it because you like me, or because Chen Fan asked you six years ago that if he couldn't come back, you would take care of me for him?" Tao Meng asked sternly.
"No, he just..." Liu Xiao tried to explain.
"Yes, or no?" Tao Meng stared at him: "Look into my eyes and speak."
Liu Xiao was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "He did say that."
"So, he knew long ago that he would never come back, and the reason you protected me so much was because of your promise?" Tao Meng asked angrily.
"Junior sister..." Liu Xiao sighed and said, "Something happened to Chen Fan. This is something no one wants to see."
"But it has already happened. Since I made a promise to him, I must keep it."
"So how long will this compliance last? A month, a year? Or a lifetime?" Tao Meng got even angrier: "You have your own life."
"You don't have to keep this promise for your whole life for a dead person."
"Junior sister, even without this promise, I will still protect you." Liu Xiao said.
"I don't need it." Tao Meng said word by word, and then her eyes reddened: "Brother, I know you are good to me."
"I will remember all your kindness to me forever, but some things cannot be changed. You are my senior brother, and you will always be. Do you understand?"
Liu Xiao was silent for a long time before he nodded gently: "Junior sister, I understand."
"I just want to protect you. I don't intend to ask for anything in return, really."
"I don't need you to protect me." Tao Meng became even angrier. She took a few steps forward and looked directly into Liu Xiao's eyes. "You should have your own life instead of focusing all your attention on me."
"Brother, I don't want you to live such a tiring life."
Liu Xiao remained silent, and Tao Meng continued, "Starting tomorrow, don't follow me anymore. Even if something unexpected happens to me, it's my fate, and I have no complaints."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Tao Meng turned around and tears burst out of her eyes.
She murmured, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I can't forget Chen Fan."
"You are a very good person. Your heart should not be focused only on me. You will meet the right person."
Liu Xiao stared at her back blankly, motionless like a wooden stake.
After a long while, he finally gave a bitter smile and said, "Junior sister, you have blocked all the words I had to say."
He took out an exquisite box from his arms and opened it. Inside was a very exquisite bracelet.
He said to himself, "Senior brother is an orphan. No one has ever cared about him except Master and you."
"So I don't know how to care for others, let alone how to give gifts."
"I spent a long time looking at this bracelet before buying it. I don't know if you like it, but I know it's very beautiful."
"I wanted to find a chance to give it to you, but..."
He smiled bitterly, closed the gift box and put it back into his arms.
When he turned around, his face was covered with frost.
"My friend, you've been following me for a long time. It's time to show yourself."
In the darkness of the night, an old man in a green robe walked out slowly.
The street light cast his shadow, and he walked neither fast nor slow, stopping ten meters away from Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao stared at the other person, stretched out his right hand, and the short stick slipped out of his sleeve.
