Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiang Wan was shocked!

What! Did she mishear something?

Xiang Wan was just thinking that Bai Muchuan would not be intimidated, but she was “shot down” at the next instant!

Bai Muchuan did not look at her. Instead, his voice was calm, so peaceful that he was even smiling! He was behaving like any other foreigner who had just been ripped off, succumbing to their threats.

He took out five, crisp, and red-colored 100 yuan notes from his wallet.

He placed the money on the table and pushed it toward the boss. There was another piece of note on top of the money.

“We’re here in Nanmu to look for a person. But this friend of mine has changed his contact number and we are unable to reach him...”

That had caught the owner and his sons unaware as well. He gave Bai Muchuan a weird glance before looking at the piece of note.

The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips quirked upward, wearing a meaningful smile on his well-defined face. “May I trouble you to ask around... to see if there’s anyone who knows the person who was using this number previously?”

He had said this slowly and calmly with ease.

However, the owner of the noodle house got mad upon hearing Bai Muchuan’s words.

The owner replied without much patience, “Once you pay up, just scram! Don’t create unnecessary trouble!”

With that, he reached out to the money on the table—

However, as soon as the owner got the money, his arm was being pulled all of a sudden. Bai Muchuan had pinned the owner on the table. At the same time, he kicked the stool toward the direction of the owner’s three sons. Seeing that, the three men dodged the stool out of reflex. During this moment, Xiang Wan quickly got behind Bai Muchuan. He proceeded to pull the owner up from the table, keeping him subdued while facing the three men.

The owner was groaning in pain while Bai Muchuan looked coldly at the three young men who might attack anytime.

“There are rules to abide with once you stepped in the underworld! Since you bleeping don’t obey the rules, then don’t blame me!”

“... Tsk...” The boss gasped and threatened him, “You don’t want your life?!”

After that, the owner yelled at his three sons, “Get him! Don’t bother about me, just get him!”

The owner had spoken in his native dialect which Xiang Wan could not understand.

The next moment, the three young men now had a vicious look on their faces. They raised their knives and rushed at Bai Muchuan.

Bai Muchuan scoffed at their actions and delivered a karate chop at the neck of the owner.

“You guys better behave yourselves! I don’t want to create trouble, but if you think you can bully me, hmph—”

Bai Muchuan’s gloomy look was unusually cruel and savage. The owner was in so much pain that he felt dizzy.

“Ahh! You dare to touch me?!” The owner gasped. “You won’t be able to walk out of Nanmu alive...”

Bai Muchuan had hit him at the right acupoint which was a lot more painful.

As the owner spoke, perspiration dribbled down his face profusely and his eyes began to lose focus from the immense pain.

Bai Muchuan’s ferocity took the three men by surprise. They stopped in their tracks and could only stare at him indignantly.

Although the owner’s face was now ashen, he refused to concede defeat.

“... Die! I want you dead!”

“Oh! But I’ll make sure you die before me.”

“You... you...” Seeing that Bai Muchuan did not budge at all, the owner gnashed his teeth. “What do you want?”

“Simple! Just help me find the person who owned this phone number!”

“I don’t know who that number belongs to!”

The owner was gasping for breath as he said that. Bai Muchuan slowly let go of the owner’s arms and took the five 100 yuan notes from him.

“Why don’t you ask someone who might know? For example, Brother Steel.”

...

Coming out of the restaurant, Xiang Wan could no longer stay calm.

It was still the same street and the same scenery, but in her eyes, everything seemed to have changed.

This city seemed to suddenly become cold and dark; the pedestrians seemed as though they were actually devils.

She never thought that such a simple and ordinary owner of a noodle house would do such things?

Nobody would have thought that there would be a place where a father and his three sons would make a living by extorting money from people.

If these people met some other tourists instead of Bai Muchuan, these people would have gotten their way.

“The way they ran their business is so simple and barbaric.”

“Of course!” Bai Muchuan held her hand and smiled. “Is it exciting going out with me?”

It was indeed filled with excitement.

They would run into trouble every now and then.

Xiang Wan had always thought that she had the “Conan effect”. Apparently, Bai Muchuan might be the one who had that after all!

“Aye!” She glanced at the people walking on the street. “It’s no wonder there aren’t many people living here. The ordinary civilian would not dare to stay in this place!”

“Mm.”

“Do you think they will kill us if we’re the ordinary tourists who didn’t want to pay up?”

“They won’t. But they will beat us up, take all our money, valuables, mobile phones and throw us out to the street!”

“...”

This is too terrifying!

More importantly, after going through that, Xiang Wan felt stifled.

For someone who had gone through proper education and instilled with proper moral values, it was hard for her to face the situation at Nanmu...

Xiang Wan: “The police here, they do nothing to stop this?”

Bai Muchuan wrapped an arm around her shoulder and observed her expression.

“There’s a high chance they’re unable to! When everyone is doing the same thing and the amount of money involved is not big, it’s tough. Besides...”

Bai Muchuan did not continue further.

Nevertheless, Xiang Wan understood and felt a chilly feeling inside her heart.

“I feel like leaving this place already,” she suddenly remarked.

Bai Muchuan could understand her; he gave a squeeze at her shoulder. “Later when we get back, I shall accompany you and get a good rest.”

“...”

This guy!

Xiang Wan turned to look at him only to find a serious looking Bai Muchuan. She was unable to say another word.

“Cat got your tongue?” Bai Muchuan lowered his voice while showing a half-smile on his face. “Did I say something wrong or did you misunderstand something?”

His palm felt hot as fire. Xiang Wan could already feel there was perspiration on her back.

“Stop fooling around! We’re in public.”

Bai Muchuan drew in closer to Xiang Wan; a smirk appeared on his face as he bit her earlobe lightly. “What’s wrong with that?”

Xiang Wan’s face flushed red in an instant. “... Are you crazy?”

“Little Xiang Wan.” Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes, hugged her lightly while his hand slowly caressed her back. Although he had a mischievous smile on his face, there seemed to be more in his gaze. “Play along!” he whispered.

Play along? Xiang Wan looked into his eyes and seemingly understood something.

“Stop this! You’re hateful!” She pushed him away.

However, that expression and behavior of hers seemed as though she was coy.

He looked at her with a satisfied smile, and then lowered his head to give her a kiss.

“I want to kiss you.”

“Wh—!”

Xiang Wan’s heart was beating wildly. She could sense that there were many onlookers looking on and could only close her eyes.

...

The two of them slowly walked their way back to the hotel while displaying their affection publicly...

When back at their room, Xiang Wan finally felt relieved.

“You saw someone tailing us?”

“No?” Bai Muchuan replied while unbuttoning his shirt, revealing some of his well-toned chest.

“...”

Xiang Wan was standing in front of him.

They looked at each other—Bai Muchuan had an innocent look and didn’t seem to be bothered.

The moment she recalled what had happened on the street earlier, she felt suffocated.

She shot daggers at him for a while and had a hard time holding back the impulse to hit him.

“Earlier while on the street, why did you get me to play along with you? That’s too shameful!”

Hur! Bai Muchuan took a glance at her unhurriedly as he unbuttoned another button. After which, he pulled her to him and fixed his gaze on her face. A while later, his fingers slowly stroked her cheeks and slid gently to a corner of her lips. Xiang Wan noticed a familiar glint of passion as it flashed past his dark, abyss-like eyes.

“Now that we’re back in the room, are you willing to play along?”
