Su Zhixing, who heard the noise, came out, laughed and said, âYouâre here! You shouldnât have brought gifts!â
âCome in, please,â SoSu Zhixing, who heard the noise, came out, laughed, and said, âYouâre here. You shouldnât have brought gifts.â
âCome in, please,â Song Ruiping said.
âHello, Auntie,â Wang Yao said.
âCome, sit down,â Song Ruiping said.
After sitting in the living room, the family chatted for a while about normal family matters. Song Ruiping asked Wang Yao about his parentsâ health. She did not say much, but Su Zhixing asked all sorts of questions.
After a while, Su Xianghua came home.
âHello, Uncle,â Wang Yao said.
âHi, when did you arrive?â Su Xianghua asked.
âLast night,â Wang Yao replied.
âAlright, stay a few more days this time,â Su Xianghua said.
Now that they were all together, the family dinner began. While eating, Su Xiaoxue was constantly smiling. She enjoyed family reunions like this very much, especially with her beloved one.
Looking at her daughter, Song Ruiping sighed to herself, Silly girl.
After the meal, Wang Yao did not stay too long. He bid his farewells and walked out with Su Xiaoxue.
âDonât go,â Su Xiaoxue said. âYou can stay in the courtyard.â
âItâs alright,â Wang Yao replied. âI havenât checked out of my hotel room yet. Itâs quite comfortable to stay there.â
âIâll take you there,â said Su Zhixing, who was eager to spend a little alone time with Wang Yao.
Su Zhixing and Wang Yao headed to the hotel.
Without his parents around, the young master of the Su family spoke casually and was very friendly to Wang Yao as if he wanted to regard him as family. âMy brother-in-law, how long are you going to stay in Jing this time?â
âAbout a week,â Wang Yao replied.
âAfter that?â Su Zhixing asked.
âGo back to the village and treat patients,â Wang Yao said.
âItâs too monotonous,â Su Zhixing said. âWould you like to live a more fulfilling life?â
âWhat do you really want to say?â Wang Yao turned to look at Su Zhixing.
âMy place is missing an instructor,â Su Zhixing replied.
âSorry, Iâm not interested.â Wang Yao laughed.
When they had met last time, this same topic had been brought up. Although Su Zhixing might one day be his brother-in-law, he still would not agree to it.
âYou just have to guide them,â Su Zhixing said. âYou donât have to stay there all day. And, youâll have an extra identity. Why not?â
âMy skills are not good enough to teach you guys.â Wang Yao turned his head and looked out of the car window.
At this time, the traffic was busy on the roads of Jing. The lights of buildings on both sides flashed as Jing began to enter its busiest period.
âYou are too modest, Brother-in-law.â Su Zhixing called him brother-in-law very smoothly and comfortably. âRemember the man I brought last time?â
âIâve got some impression,â Wang Yao said.
âOur army individual champion is the best at close combat, but when they were facing you, they didnât even manage to stir up any waves,â Su Zhixing said. âWhen he returned, he said people like you are a martial arts master. There are less than a few in the country. I am curious, how do you practice to this extent?â
âNotice the red light ahead,â Wang Yao said. The car braked steadily with a creak. âWell, practice hard and add a little savvy.â
âAnd, then?â Su Zhixing asked.
âNothing,â Wang Yao replied.
âNothing? How is that possible? Do you think Iâm a 3-year-old?â Su Zhixing asked.
âIâm telling the truth, believe it or not,â Wang Yao replied. âTurn right ahead.â
The car turned right.
âWeâre here,â Wang Yao said.
After getting out of the car, Su Zhixing looked up at the famous international hotel chain and asked, âDo you like living in such places?â
âItâs famous, so itâs easy to book,â Wang Yao replied.
âOh, so youâre a rich man too, Brother-in-law!â Su Zhixing sighed.
âWant to go up and check it out?â Wang Yao asked.
âSure, itâs still early anyway,â Su Zhixing said.
They went into the elevator together. There were seven men in the elevator.
Wang Yao turned to look at the man next to him. He was tall, more than 6-foot-2, and very buff. He was surrounded by a relatively smart-looking man, but he looked more capable. These two men were foreigners, resembling Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham. They had a special scent, which Wang Yao disliked very much.
Coincidentally, they went up the same floor. The two men entered the same room, several numbers away from Wang Yaoâs room.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âThose two people have problems.â Wang Yao said.
âWhatâs the problem?â Su Zhixing asked.
âTheyâve just killed someone,â Wang Yao said.
âWhat? Thatâs impossible!â Su Zhixing was shocked.
They were in Jing, after all, the place with the most stringent internal security in the country.
âThey likely still have guns,â Wang Yao said.
âFor real?â Su Zhixing was doubtful.
âDonât you believe it?â Wang Yao asked. âCall the police and ask them to come and look them up.â
âThatâs not good,â Su Zhixing said. âTheyâre foreign friends.â
âCan foreign friends do whatever they want here?â Wang Yao turned to look at Su Zhixing. âThis is our territory, not their colony.â
âFine, Iâll believe you this time,â Su Zhixing said. âLet me make a call.â
He had friends in Jing because of his family. A police officer quickly arrived at the hotel.
âWait and watch the show,â Wang Yao said.
The two of them waited in the corridor.
âHey, will there be any danger?â Su Zhixing asked.
âArenât you a brave soldier?â Wang Yao asked.
âWow, Iâm not a fool,â Su Zhixing replied. âWhat if a gunfight breaks out?â
âIt wonât,â Wang Yao matter-of-factly said.
The plain-clothed police officer called the waiter and asked her to help the other officers open the door. The door opened. The stronger manâs upper body was naked, revealing a lion tattoo.
âPolice, routine inspection,â a police officer said.
âWhat?â The men inside were shocked.
The police officers went in to check the room and soon came out. After a while, Su Zhixing received a call.
He turned to Wang Yao and said, âItâs your miscalculation this time. There was nothing in there.â
âImpossible!â Wang Yao exclaimed.
âHey, believe it or not,â Su Zhixing said.
âAlright, I shall go and take a look,â Wang Yao said.
âHey, what are you doing? How are you going in?â Su Zhixing asked.
âTsk, if something happens to me, can you cover for me?â Wang Yao asked.
âDonât mess up,â Su Zhixing said. âThis is Jing.â
âDonât worry.â Wang Yao smiled and waved his hand. He reached out and touched his face. âCanât you see who I am?â
Su Zhixing was stunned. Wang Yao was just inches away, but he could not see his face. It was as if his face was covered with a layer of mist.
âWhat kind of method is that?â Su Zhixing asked.
âFace-changing, the quintessence of Chinese culture,â Wang Yao replied.
âStop bullsh*tting,â Su Zhixing said. âDo you think I havenât seen a face-changing performance? They all have a mask outside. Let me tell you, there are cameras everywhere in this hotel.â
âThatâs a problem, but I can get around it from the outside.â Wang Yao smiled and pointed out the window.
âStop kidding! This is the 27th floor!â Su Zhixing exclaimed.
Looking down from above, the people below were like ants. Falling from this place would cause him to become mush on the ground with a splat.
âForget it,â Wang Yao said.
âYes, thatâs right,â Su Zhixing said. âYou came to Jing to accompany my sister, not to do such chivalrous things.â
After chatting for a while, Su Zhixing prepared to leave the hotel. Before he left, he reminded Wang Yao not to be impulsive but to be rational and exercise restraint.
At the Su family residence, Su Xianghua poured a little of the red wine given to them by Wang Yao.
âMmm, this is good wine. You should try it,â he said to his wife sitting opposite him.
âStop praising him,â Song Ruiping laughed and said.
âThis wine is quite extraordinary, on par with those famous wines overseas,â Su Xianghua said. âAmazingly, a doctor like him can make such good wine!â
âCan you see that Xiaoxue likes him very much?â Song Ruiping asked.
âWell, that is normal for girls her age,â Su Xianghua replied.
âWhatâs normal?â Song Ruiping asked. âIâm afraid sheâll lose out!â
âWhatâs the loss?â Su Xianghua asked. âWang Yao is a sincere person. Xiaoxue would not lose out with him.â
âYou...â
âCome on, Iâll pour you a glass,â Su Xianghua said. âTry it. Itâs good!â
That night, nothing happened. The next morning, Wang Yao got up early. The guests were provided free breakfast, so he went out to have some. He happened to meet the stout man he had seen the previous night. The man didnât have a gun, but he did have a dagger.
Oh, look at him. Is the security around here bad? Wang Yao thought.
It was warm, so the man wasnât wearing much. His belongings were carefully hidden. Like the previous night, a person wouldnât be able to spot a weapon without looking carefully.
The man went to the dining room for breakfast. The more Wang Yao looked at him, the more he felt that there was a problem with him.
He thought, Hmm, I have an idea.
The foreigner was eating and fell to the ground with a grunt. His body began to convulse uncontrollably.
âWhatâs the situation?â The people in the restaurant were stunned. âCall a doctor.â
Ambulances soon arrived and took the foreigner away.
ng Ruiping said.
âHello, Auntie,â Wang Yao said.
âCome, sit down,â Song Ruiping said.
After sitting in the living room, the family chatted for a while about normal family matters. Song Ruiping asked Wang Yao about his parentsâ health. She did not say much, but Su Zhixing spoke a lot, asking all sorts of questions.
