Old Fu was helpless.

But…

He could only brace himself and walk out. He patiently swore to the second wave of neighbors who had received the news and rushed over.

Although Xu Bai was not by the side this time, Old Huang, the creator of the rumors, was around. Therefore, although there were some twists and turns, the outcome was still very good.

The second wave of neighbors left skeptically.

When Old Fu returned to the kitchen, he held Old Huang’s big tea jar and drank the tea in one gulp.

He did not expect that it would be more tiring to waste his breath during the day than at night.

Furthermore…

Old Fu looked at the creator of the rumors, Old Huang, with a resentful gaze. “There’s no need to think. The third wave is already on its way.”

There had to be a third wave.

If nothing unexpected happened, Old Fu felt that he would probably die here today.

Old Huang could only smile leisurely.

In Old Factory Street, one could offend anyone but Xu Bai.

‘That’s not right.’

Not to mention offending him.

Just saying a bad word about Xu Bai was equivalent to poking a hornet’s nest. Moreover, it was the largest and most hornet’s nest.

Old Huang quickly changed the topic and looked at Old Fu. “Let’s talk about serious matters. I also think that it’s not appropriate for Lil Bai to go to Old Bull’s barbecue shop for his female disciple’s birthday.”

Old Bull, who was at the side, also nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. When I came over, I also heard that Lil Bai l s disciple for his birthday tonight is the eldest daughter of the Su Banking Group?”

Huang nodded.

Seeing this, the old bull shook his head non-stop. “Lil Bai is really too much. It wasn’t easy for him to be enlightened. In the end, he opened it, but he didn’t open it completely.”

Who would go to a barbecue shop for a girl’s birthday? Moreover, the woman had such a background.

‘Is that appropriate?’

It wasn’t appropriate.

Old Bull, who was also worried about Xu Bai l s late marriage, touched his chin and looked at Old Fu and Old Huang. “Do you think it’s possible… for our Lil Bai and his female disciple?”

Old Fu and Old Huang looked at Old Bull.

Old Bull’s eyes widened. “Didn’t I tell you last time that Xu Bai and his disciple came to my barbeque shop last time? This Su Meng seems to be going to some new department. Xu Bai didn’t ask her to stay and she even cried. From the looks of it, I feel that this Su Meng should be interested in our Lil Bai.”

Old Yellow frowned. “Where’s Lil Bai?”

Old Bull opened his mouth.

Old Fu interrupted. “I don’t think so.”

“Why not?”

“What’s wrong with our Lil Bai?”

Old Fu looked at Old Bull and Old Huang’s gazes. He looked at Old Bull, who had already rolled up his sleeves and explained, “After all, the Su Banking Group’s status is over there. Moreover, I heard that Su Meng is Old Master Su’s favorite granddaughter. Our Lil Bai…

Old Bull glared at Old Fu. “Our Lil Bai isn’t bad either, alright?”

Old Fu smiled bitterly. “I didn’t say that Lil Bai is bad. What I meant was…”

Before he could say anything, the old bull had already quenched a mouthful of saliva on his hands and was ready to start training.

Those who often play with charcoal and those who often stir-fry.

The battle was about to begin!

Seeing this, Old Yellow hurriedly stopped the old bull, who was as bad-tempered as his name suggested. After comforting the old bull, he looked at Old Fu. “I think we should help Lil Bai. Why don’t you think Lil Bai goes to the banquet tonight?”

Old Bull rolled his eyes. “A group of people who look like humans and dogs, wearing suits and leather shoes, but don’t do anything. What’s the point of going? I won’t go even if you invite me.”

‘Fine.’

In addition to his bad temper, Old Bull also hated the rich. This could be seen from the fact that his son-in-law, who was now the chief of the Feng City Police Department, didn’t even want to see him.

Old Fu ignored Old Bull’s words. After all, he had heard these words many times over the years. He looked directly at Old Huang. “You mean…”

When Old Huang heard Old Fu’s hesitant words, he nodded. “Although Xu Bai looks very happy all day long and doesn’t seem to be affected by anything, everyone actually knows why Lil Bai isn’t married even though he’s already 22 this year.”

Both parents were dead.

His sister was hospitalized.

Although Xu Bai was also a civil servant, most of his monthly salary went into the hospital’s pocket. He did not have much money.

Just look at the grayish-white suit Xu Bai was wearing. It was precisely because of this that every time Xu Bai came back, everyone would tacitly stuff all kinds of meat and vegetarian food into his arms.

Old Fu nodded, tacitly agreeing with Old Huang’s words.

The next second.

Old Huang looked at Old Fu. “That’s why we should help Xu Bai.”

Old Fu raised his eyebrows.

The bad-tempered Old Bull looked at Old Huang and Old Fu, who were both more cultured than him and cursed. Then, with a red face, he asked what the two of them were talking about and if they could say something he could understand.

Xu Bai did not know what the three of them were doing behind his back.

He went to Old Bull’s shop and said that he would reserve a seat for him tonight before returning home. He turned on his computer and used his account to log into the police station’s intranet to search for information about Su Meng’s parents.

But…

Xu Bai looked at the empty column of information on Su Meng’s father. He touched his chin and chose to quit. He searched for information about Su Ruyi.

In the end.

Unmarried!

Hiss.

Xu Bai looked at the information. It was neither a divorce nor a widow. It showed the unmarried Su Ruyu and he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

After a while.

He finally confirmed one thing.

Su Meng’s father, this person, his information had been completely erased from the system. Moreover, the method of erasing was quite professional.

It was impossible for anyone to find out Su Meng’s father’s surname, name, size, height, and appearance through the system.

Tsk tsk.

Xu Bai rubbed his chin and shook his head. Although he did not like gossip, at this moment, he could not help but start to think about what had happened back then.

Su Meng’s father was completely socially dead.

‘If he’s still alive.’

Su Manor.

Sitting in the tea room, Su Bancheng, who was burning incense and drinking tea, held a teacup and looked at the maid playing the zither at the side. He leisurely drank the tea in the cup.

An Ya, who was also invited to the gathering tonight, sat opposite her with a cold expression as usual, sipping the tea in her hand.

The phone rang.

Su Bancheng glanced at the caller ID.

He answered the call.

“Shoot.”

“Sir, someone from the Feng City Police Department is looking through Ms. Su’s information.”

Su Bancheng looked up at An Ya, who was sitting opposite him.

Hearing the news, An Ya raised her head and turned on her loudspeaker.

Su Bancheng came back to his senses and looked at his phone.

“Who’s on it?”

Bai!”

“After we tracked him, we found that the information was the account information of Agent Xu Bai from the 38th Precinct of the Feng City Police Department. However, he didn’t log into the bureau’s network. His IP address was in the old factory community in Dongcheng District.”

Xu Bai?

Su Bancheng was taken aback when he heard the familiar name. He looked up at An Ya again and lowered his head. “What information did he find?”

The voice on the other end of the phone said, “It seems like he cares a lot about

Ms. Su Ruyu’s marriage information.”

Su Bancheng was silent for a moment before nodding. “I understand.”

With that,

Su Bancheng hung up the phone and looked up at An Ya. “Why is he investigating my sister?”

And he even specially checked my sister’s marital status.

‘What does he want?’

An Ya was expressionless. “How would I know?” “He’s one of yours.” “It’s not that.”

“What?”

“I’m from the internal affairs bureau. He’s a serious case.”

An Ya put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Su Bancheng. She said calmly, “If you want to know who Xu Bai is working for, he should be working for Zhou Tianzheng. I missed the part where that’s my problem?”

Su Bancheng laughed.

‘You’re not one of yours. The last time you barged into my office, you didn’t say anything and just slashed at me with your sword?’

That was what Su Bancheng thought, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he tapped his fingers on the table.

After a while.

Su Bancheng looked at An Ya and frowned. “Is he going to investigate Zuo Lei?” An Ya looked up at Su Bancheng.

Zuo Lei.

Su Meng’s father was someone who had disappeared from the real world 21 years ago. “Zuo Lei?” “Right.”

“Not a chance.”

An Ya shook her head. “His information has been destroyed. Even Su Meng doesn’t know. How can Xu Bai know?”

Su Bancheng nodded and said, “That’s right, how would he know?”

An Ya looked at Su Bancheng.

“Are you so sure that Xu Bai knows?”

“Why else would he be so concerned about my sister’s marriage?”

Su Bancheng shook his head and asked in return. Then, he looked at An Ya and said, “I’m getting more and more curious about him now. How did he know that someone had run to the Great Desolate World and disappeared from this world in order to escape capture 21 years ago?”

There was no reason for that.

And it was very unscientific.

Hearing that, An Ya glanced at Su Bancheng and narrowed her eyes.

At this moment.

The phone rang again.

Su Bancheng came back to his senses and looked over. He raised his eyebrows and picked up the call. “Supervisor Chen, have you arrived?”

Just like Su Bancheng, Director Chen, who was only the head of Homeland Security’s regional affairs, first apologized and then explained his purpose for coming.

“Deputy Director Su, I’m sorry, but I might not be able to come tonight. There’s a particularly important matter at home tonight.”

“… I’m fine.”

Su Bancheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Family matters are the most important. Drinking is fine anytime!”

He hung up.

Su Bancheng looked at his phone and frowned.

An Ya, who was sitting opposite him, saw through Su Bancheng’s thoughts.

“He’s lying.” “I know.”

Su Bancheng raised his head and looked at An Ya thoughtfully. “But I can’t find his motive.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The phone rang again.

Su Bancheng looked down.

It was another call from the bureau.

But this time, it was the deputy director of the Feng City branch of Homeland

Security.
