Chapter 176: Lobbyist from the Long Family

Xiao Bing didn’t expect that Liu Kexin was a woman who knew him so much. After all, they had spent a very short time together, and he was only taken care of by her for a few days in the hospital.

The number of people killed by Xiao Bing was innumerable, but it did not mean that he did not respect life. On the contrary, it’s because Xiao Bing had seen so many human lives disappear in the blink of an eye that he was more respectful of life. Each time he killed someone, it was so that more people would live. It was for the motherland, for the people and for giving the cruelest punishment to the sin.

Xiao Bing smiled and did not refute. After they finished eating, Xiao Bing drove Liu Kexin home and insisted on walking Liu Kexin to her door. As Liu Kexin took out her keys at the door of her home, she said a bit apologetically, “I am sorry that you had to come all the way up with me.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “You told your parents that a trustworthy friend will take you back. I should personally make sure you enter your house.”

Liu Kexin smiled and inserted the key into the keyhole. She turned it, and the door opened.

Liu Kexin looked back at Xiao Bing and said, “Come in and sit down and drink some water before you go.”

Xiao Bing checked the time and hesitated. “It’s late. I’m afraid Yezi is still waiting for me.” So he shook his head and said with a smile, “I won’t go in. There’ll be more opportunities. I will leave now. Bye.”

“Okay, then drive carefully. See you tomorrow.”

Liu Kexin had just changed into her slippers and was walking into the living room when a middle-aged woman walked out of the bedroom and glanced at the door. She asked, “Kexin, did your friend bring you back?”

“Yes.” Liu Kexin stuck her tongue out and said, “I was a little late getting home. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Oh, I can’t sleep. Is your friend male or female?”

Liu Kexin closed the door and came up to the middle-aged woman. She took the middle-aged woman’s arm and shook it, and she said adorably, “Mom, what are you thinking about? We are just ordinary friends.”

The woman smiled and said, “Do you need to be so nervous about an ordinary friend? Even if he is an ordinary friend, why didn’t you ask him to come in? He brought you home, and you didn’t even ask him in for a glass of water.”

“Exactly.” A man’s voice sounded majestic came out of the room. “You are getting less and less considerate. Your friend was right at the door and you didn’t ask him in. Invite your friend here next time and give him a warm welcome as we don’t want him to think of our Liu Family as inconsiderate people.”

Liu Kexin said coquettishly, “Goodness, what’s with all those ideas of yours? I think he decided not to come in because he didn’t want to disturb you. I’m not going to talk anymore. I’m tired today. I will go to my room and call it a day.”

Saying that, Liu Kexin made her way to her bedroom.

When Liu Kexin’s mother returned to her room, a middle-aged man in the room was reading under the light on the desk. Seeing Liu Kexin’s mother come in, he looked up and showed a dignified yet somewhat scholarly face. There was a smile on his serious face as he asked, “Was it a man?”

“Yes, I heard the voice. Too bad I went out a little too late or I’d have asked him in and checked him out,” Liu Kexin’s mother said with a happy smile.

Liu Kexin’s father answered with a grunt, but then said, “Don’t freak him out. Nothing is certain yet, maybe they are just ordinary friends.”

“How can that be? You know our Kexin. She has usually never been in contact with boys and she is very shy. This man actually came to the door of our home. What relationship do you think they have?”

Liu Kexin’s father thought about it. “It is true too.” He nodded with a smile and said, “Ask her bring invite him in when there’s time. I will personally check him out.”

“Okay, I’ll trust your judgment.”

Xiao Bing had already driven home. He didn’t know he was the subject of such a conversation from Liu Kexin’s parents. But these were no longer important. When he returned to the Ye Family, Ye Xiaoxi had already lain down. The tired girl was sleeping like a little guinea pig. After Xiao Bing showered, he put on his pyjamas, laid down in bed and hugged Ye Xiaoxi to sleep.

The next day, Xiao Bing rehearsed with Liu Kexin the whole day. During that time, Xiao Bing also put forward quite a number of suggestions, which made the two teachers look at Xiao Bing with new eyes.

“Well, today’s rehearsal is over.” Gu Xinxin said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao, we’ve decided to stay here for two days before leaving so that we can watch your performance. Kexin really has a talent for dancing, and Mr. Xiao is also the most talented person I have ever seen. If you are willing to join the music or the dance industry, I dare say you will become a famous pianist and even a very good dancer.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Ms. Gu, you flatter me. It’s good that you will remain here. You can stay at the Northern Manor instead of going moving here and there. After the performance tomorrow night, I will invite you to dinner.”

Gu Xinxin said with a smile, “Having dinner is not important. Here’s my business card. Keep it. If you need anything, you can contact me directly without having to disturb Miss Bi Tingting.”

Gu Xinxin gave Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin each a business card. Li Cuipeng also did the same. Liu Kexin was a likeable girl, but they paid more attention to Xiao Bing, who was equally talented in piano and dance. It was like martial arts masters facing martial arts masters, and heroes appreciating heroes. They also had this kind of mentality, so they were willing to make friends with Xiao Bing.

After having small talks, Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin left. Liu Kexin suddenly said, “Brother Xiao, my parents said because you brought me home these two days, they would like you to have dinner with us today.”

“Oh, you don’t have to.” Xiao Bing laughed and said, “I’m really a little unaccustomed to this. Do tell me in advance next time, so I can be a little prepared.”

“I see… all right. Next time then. But it’s still early today, I will go home for dinner. Brother Xiao, you can drive me to the gate of the neighborhood. It’s still early so it’ll be fine.”

“Alright.” When Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin were about to get into the car, the housekeeper next door them suddenly walked over and said respectfully, “Mr. Xiao, someone outside wants to see you.”

“See me?” Xiao Bing was a little curious. He thought for a moment and said, “Let him in, and arrange for a driver to drive this lady home.”

“Yes. Miss Kexin, please come with me.”

Liu Kexin waved her hand to Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely cause you to amaze the audience tomorrow!”

Liu Kexin answered with a grunt. She wasn’t concerned about amazing the audience. What she really cared about was to be rid of Lu Qiang’s entanglement. And having Xiao Bing as her shield, she was not afraid of Lu Qiang and other men getting her entangled anymore. Thinking of this, she was grateful to Xiao Bing.

After Liu Kexin left, Xiao Bing waited less than two minutes before a car drove into the yard. A thin man about 30 years of age wearing a colourful shirt got out of the car. He was alone. When he saw Xiao Bing, he immediately came over. As he reached out his hand, he smiled and said, “You must be Mr. Xiao.” “I will introduce myself. I am Monkey, you can call me that too. Lord Long sent me. ”

“Oh?” Hearing that he was from the Long Family, Xiao Bing was not surprised. At that time, when Old Mr. Zhuge sounded him out, Xiao Bing knew that he had noticed him. So he must have gained their attention. If he was in their place, he’d also have sent people to seek for his cooperation. Once he was willing to cooperate with them, and they worked together, Master Hou would definitely be in trouble.

Xiao Bing shook hands with him and said, “Mr. Monkey, please come in. Let’s find a quiet room to talk.”

“Perfect.” Monkey smiled and said. This Monkey looked a little sly and treacherous. He wasn’t annoying but he had a slickness about him.

Xiao Bing took him into the Heavenly Palace and entered one of the rooms. After closing the door, Xiao Bing and he sat down separately. Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Mr. Monkey, you can talk now. If you have something to say to me, I’m listening.”

Monkey said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao, I’m sure you’ve guessed. What remains is whether I can convince you or not. That’s all.”

Seeing him being so direct, Xiao Bing couldn’t help but laugh and said, “It’s quite interesting the way you put it. Tell me then. I will see how you are going to convince me.”

Monkey answered, “May I first ask, if Master Hou and the Long Family really clashed and they end up having a life-and-death fight, what do you think we should call this performance?”

Xiao Bing shook his head and said with a smile, “I don’t know.”

“Kicking against the pricks.” Monkey smiled and said, “No doubt, Master Hou has a pivotal position in the underground world of Hei Province, but his status is not stable. Except for a few cities controlled by his people, many other cities surrendered to him and obey him only because of his prestige. Do you think this is a stable relationship? Especially when they hear that Master Long has brought the forces of two provinces to destroy Master Hou, do you think they will still be Jiang Zihou’s puppets?

Xiao Bing’s eyes lit up. He said with a smile, “That sounds a bit interesting, please go on.”

Monkey continued, “The reason why Jiang Zihou can control the entire Hei Province is the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Four Heavenly Kings of the East, the West, the South and the North are his right-hand men. One of them has been removed, and his strength has been reduced. On the other hand, the Long Family has just unified the underground forces of the two provinces. As one falls, another rises. Even if Jiang Zihou has your support, he has the force of only a half province. Do you think he can fight with the Long Family?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Go on.”

Monkey went on, “You may have offended Second Master Long, but the one who really killed the son of Second Master Long is definitely not you. If you can help the Long Family totally destroy Master Hou, your merits will outweigh your faults. And if you help Master Hou, you will definitely be defeated. Even if the sun rises in the west, and Jiang Zihou wins, you have killed his North Heaven Queen and you’re not totally submitting to him. Do you think he will let you off?”

Monkey said with a smile, “Winner takes all. It is a gamble. If you lose, you will lose everything. Mr. Xiao, you must be prudent!”
