Chapter 233 Confession (1/2)

Yezi sighed, “It is not because of you that I do this. The child is so poor that she can make anyone’s heartache. But I’m afraid that we will be too busy in the future to take good care of her. Well… I will try my best to stay with her.”

“And I will help you look after her… till everything is resolved.”

For Xiao Bing, there were still many things to be resolved at present, the first among which was the Long Family. If the Long Family was not destroyed and Master Hou fell, people around Xiao Bing would suffer unexpected calamities. No one could guarantee that because of him, the people who suffer would not include his friends in the end.

Hence, the Long Family must be destroyed, and Lord Long must die.

After dealing with the Long Family, he needed to continue the investigation into the traitor. Before that, Xiao Bing had to recover his strength. Otherwise, in his present condition, it would be difficult to convince the people back at the Dragon Gate, let alone investigate.

Moreover, if the manipulator behind this was really Mr. Buddha, and everything was his plan… Anyone from the Dragon Gate was close to the Gang-strength Stage, so Mr. Buddha’s strength was even more unfathomable. Only when Xiao Bing recovered his original strength, would he be able to avenge Su Peiya, or he would lose his life in vain.

This time he was lucky enough to kill the man of Buddhism, but he wouldn’t be so fortunate every time.

After everything is settled, Xiao Bing planned to retire from the world. Though he was still very young, he had seen more about life and death than most people would in a lifetime. The same with what he had possessed and lost. So for Xiao Bing, he was not interested in the life of fighting and killing, and the only person that could make his heart beat or move him might be Ye Xiaoxi, the girl right before him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Wanting went to open the door and then Master Hou, Mu Tingchuan and Miyamoto Shinji entered. Among these newcomers, Jiang Wanting thought Master Hou looked familiar, but she couldn’t think who he really was.

Master Hou nodded to Jiang Wanting. He had already investigated her in detail. She was the team leader of the Criminal Police Brigade in Jiang City. That was not the most important. What was more important was her family background – the director of the Department of Public Security, whom even Master Hou couldn’t offend.

After walking in, Master Hou nodded again at Ye Xiaoxi and then said to Yu Miao with a smile, “I didn’t expect nephew Xu to be here too.”

Yu Miao had seen Master Hou before, and he also knew that Master Hou’s politeness to him was only because of his father. He was also aware of Master Hou’s power, but he didn’t expect Master Hou to visit Xiao Bing in person…

Yu Miao had something in his mind, but he still said politely, “Master Hou, my father especially asked me to send his greetings to you.”

Master Hou, smiling very happily, said, “Thank your father for me, and I will visit him in person when I am free.”

Master Hou felt surprised inwardly to see the daughter whose father was the director of the Department of Public Security, the female leader of the Ye Family which was the economic backbone of Jiang City and the son of the assistant deputy of the provincial party committee in that ward. All these people were here because of Xiao Bing.

Master Hou was shocked but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He then walked to Xiao Bing’s bed, asking with great care, “Is the injury serious?”

“It’s all right,” Xiao Bing smiled, “Not serious enough to die.”

It seemed that as long as Xiao Bing was alive, no one could stop him from smiling.

“Well,” Master Hou said, nodding his head, “take good care of yourself. There won’t be much activity in the Long Family these days due to the severe crackdown, so you can relax. Who did that to you today？ Was he someone from the Long Family? When I sent Miyamoto there, the fight had already ended.”

Xiao Bing shook his head, “Maybe.”

Some things couldn’t be revealed to Master Hou and it was natural for Xiao Bing to have his own plans. If he didn’t mention it, Master Hou would naturally think that the Long Family had done it, so he would be grateful to Xiao Bing and would feel a little guilty too. But if he knew the other side was a powerful opponent who came for Xiao Bing, one can’t be certain that Master Hou wouldn’t shake in his heart.

Sure enough, Master Hou said with a sigh, “I never expected the Long Family to have such a high-level master. My intelligence system was not good enough. That’s why you got into trouble.”

Standing next to him, Mu Tingchuan said, “When he heard that you were injured, Master Hou came here right away. It is so good to see that you’re all right, Mr. Xiao.”

“Mmm,” Xiao Bing said, “sorry to trouble you two, Master Hou and Mr. Tingchuan.”

Master Hou pretended to reprimand him, “Xiao Bing, what are you talking about? Have a good rest. Seeing you have so many friends here, I won’t disturb you now. I will make time to come and see you again.”

Master Hou looked at the others and said, “I’ll get going. I won’t bother you young people.”

Others just nodded while Yu Miao said, “I will find some time to visit Master Hou.”
