——————————"Friend?"

Xiao Yi saw the girl staring at him blankly, her eyes wide, and couldn't help but frown slightly. "Friend, do you have anything else?"

"Ah, no, no, I only have this suitcase. Thank you so much!"

The girl finally came to her senses, her face turning slightly red as she thanked him.

"Oh, that's fine."

Xiao Yi nodded, put down her suitcase, and turned to walk towards the front of the train.

To Xiao Yi, this girl was just another fleeting encounter, like countless others who had appeared in his life.

The girl watched Xiao Yi's hurried figure weaving through the crowd, a curious expression appearing on her face. He was such a strange boy.

Thinking about how fast he had walked earlier, she realized she had forgotten to get his contact information. Perhaps he would disappear into the crowd, and they would never meet again, which made her feel a bit disappointed.

"Little brother, wait!"

As soon as the train stopped, Xiao Yi turned and walked off.

As soon as he got off, Xiao Yi was about to head towards the exit when he heard a hurried voice from behind.

"Are you calling me? What's the matter?"

Hearing the voice, a hint of a cold smile crossed Xiao Yi's eyes. On the train, he had noticed that the man in the suit had been staring at him from time to time but hadn't dared to ask for his wallet. When Xiao Yi moved, the man had followed him closely, and only when Xiao Yi got off the train did he call out to him.

However, Xiao Yi had no intention of giving the wallet back to him so easily.

Stopping, Xiao Yi turned to look at the panting man in the suit with a blank expression.

"Little brother... my wallet, can you give it back to me?"

The man in the suit, seeing Xiao Yi's feigned confusion, turned even redder, but thinking of the money in his wallet, he mustered the courage to say, "I can give you some money."

"Sir, I think you're mistaken. What wallet? I don't understand."

Xiao Yi felt somewhat disdainful. The wallet was his now, and all the money was his. Why should he need to share it?

"I... little brother."

The man in the suit hadn't expected Xiao Yi to be so difficult. Even at this point, he was still pretending, his face turning red to his neck.

"Sir, I'm not very familiar with you, and I'm certainly not your brother. Please don't call me that."

Xiao Yi said this without any politeness.

"You... how can you be like this? My wallet, how can you not give it back to me! Do you know that this is illegal!"

The man in the suit's face turned even redder, almost like a liver, as he shouted.

"Wow, illegal? I'm so scared." A mocking smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face, and he made an exaggerated scared expression, then his expression turned cold and serious. "Sir, please have evidence when you speak. If you insist that I took your wallet, please provide evidence. Otherwise, I am a law-abiding citizen, and I don't want to be slandered."

"This time, I won't argue with you. Sorry, I have something to do. Please don't block my way."

Xiao Yi said this calmly and then turned to walk quickly towards the exit, leaving the man in the suit standing there, his face red like a liver, speechless.

If the man in the suit had recognized his mistake and spoken to him nicely, Xiao Yi might have considered giving the wallet back. After all, he didn't care about the few thousand yuan in it. How could he have the nerve to talk about legality? Based on his behavior on the train, he didn't deserve to be a legal professional.

Although the man in the suit had never revealed his identity, Xiao Yi had already seen everything in his wallet when he took it, including his business card, which clearly stated his job and position.

Exiting the train station, Xiao Yi scanned the crowd and quickly walked towards a corner on the left.

"Sir, we are waiting for someone here. Please don't stand here and block the view."

As Xiao Yi approached a silver-black Mercedes parked there, he looked at the name on the sign and was about to speak when a burly, stern-looking man standing next to the car walked over and said in a calm tone.

Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback and then pointed to the sign held by another burly man and asked, "Are you waiting for Xiao Yi?"

"Yes, we are waiting for Mr. Xiao. So, please move aside."

The burly man nodded, his tone already showing some impatience.

Mr. Xiao was a VIP for Mr. Chen, and even Uncle Liu had come to pick him up. If this scrawny, country-looking boy blocked their way and they failed to pick up Mr. Xiao, causing him to complain, it would be very bad.

"Oh, then we can go."

Hearing him confirm it was him, Xiao Yi nodded.

"What?"

The burly man was still taken aback and looked at Xiao Yi in surprise.

The other two men also looked at Xiao Yi in shock.

"I am Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi pointed to himself.

"You are Xiao Yi?"

The three men standing in front of the Mercedes all widened their eyes and opened their mouths in surprise.

The person in front of them, thin and pale, wearing a cheap outfit worth no more than 300 yuan, looked like an ordinary person. Could this be the esteemed guest Mr. Xiao that Mr. Chen had spoken of?

"What proof do you have that you are Mr. Xiao?"

After a while, the middle-aged man with a steady demeanor finally came to his senses and asked in a serious tone.

"Are you sent by Chen Jianguo?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the three men and casually took out a card from his pocket, tossing it to him. "This is my ID card."

Seeing Xiao Yi call Mr. Chen by his name and speak so calmly, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He quickly caught the card, looked at it carefully, and then said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, I apologize for the abruptness. My name is Liu Yuan, and I am Mr. Chen's secretary. Mr. Chen specifically instructed me to come and pick you up. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's fine. You've never met me, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."

Xiao Yi waved his hand casually. "Can we go now?"

"Of course, of course. Please, Mr. Xiao."

Liu Yuan quickly opened the car door and said respectfully.

Xiao Yi didn't hesitate and got in.

After Xiao Yi got in, Liu Yuan followed.

The other two burly men, who had been in shock, quickly came to their senses and hurriedly walked to the front of the car, each opening a door and getting in.

Not far away, the man in the suit, who had been chasing after Xiao Yi, saw this scene and the courage and determination he had mustered to get his wallet back instantly wavered.

He had planned to reveal his identity as a lawyer, confront Xiao Yi, and warn him to return his wallet. Given Xiao Yi's appearance, he thought he would be afraid of him.

But...

He never expected that when he caught up, he would see such a shocking scene. Although he didn't recognize the three men, he could tell they were not ordinary people, and the person they were treating with such respect must be someone important.

Who knew what kind of powerful figure it was!

A license plate without letters, so smooth and catchy, was not something an ordinary person could get!

"Since you're so rich, why did you take such a cheap train? Even if you're playing low-key, why didn't you return my wallet?"

The man in the suit watched the Mercedes drive away, his heart bleeding.

The few thousand yuan in the wallet wasn't a huge amount, but for a small lawyer like him, it wasn't a small sum either.
