Chapter 2

"Brother Bing, protect my sister, protect my family. These six years, being able to accompany you, to go through life and death with the man I love, I have no regrets..."

No regrets!

Thinking of the words Su Peiya said before she died, Xiao Bing clenched his fists silently, tears welling up in his eyes. He made a silent decision in his heart: before finding the mole in Longmen, he must protect Su Peiya's family and give her the justice she deserves!

Although Xiao Bing did not have romantic feelings for Su Peiya, she was the only confidante in his heart!

When the plane landed smoothly, Xiao Bing unfastened his seatbelt and looked at the urn in his hand, taking a deep breath: "Sigh, this is Jiangcheng City, Peiya, you're home."

Xiao Bing walked out of the plane with a heavy heart, weaving through the crowds, and quickly left the airport. Suddenly, a screeching sound of brakes pierced his ears. Looking up, he saw an elderly sanitation worker in his fifties lying by the car wheels, with blood streaks on his elbows and face, and a large wound on his knee.

Next to the old sanitation worker was a BMW X5, its exhaust pipe still smoking. A young man in designer clothes got out of the car first, followed by two men in sunglasses who kept calling him "Young Master."

The young man looked at the old sanitation worker struggling to get up, frowned, and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine... I'm fine..."

Seeing the old sanitation worker's dirty and disheveled appearance, the young man said with disdain, "If you're fine, be more careful next time. Do you know what kind of car this is? If you accidentally dirty or damage it, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sold yourself!"

The old sanitation worker, ignoring his pain, nodded in fear, "I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

A pair of long, beautiful legs emerged from the car, and a beautiful woman, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, stepped out. Her figure, wrapped in a long dress, was curvaceous, her neck exposed a patch of white skin, and her slender waist and dazzling legs were alluring. Besides her beauty, she exuded a strong presence.

After getting out of the car, she glanced at the old sanitation worker indifferently and said impatiently, "Xie Gucheng, do you want to delay picking up my father for a street cleaner?"

Xie Gucheng hurriedly said, "Ah, look at me, almost delaying important matters for an old man. I'll accompany you to the airport terminal to pick up Uncle."

The beauty's expression softened, and the middle-aged man with a bronze complexion behind her whispered, "Miss, your father is about to get off the plane."

"Um," the beauty nodded, "Let's go."

Xiao Bing frowned slightly and quickly blocked their path. Xie Gucheng stopped abruptly, narrowly avoiding a collision. Seeing Xiao Bing in his dusty, worn-out clothes from Africa, he immediately showed anger and disdain: "Are you blind? Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the way?"

Xiao Bing pointed at the injured old sanitation worker, indignant, "This is a matter of life and death. Didn't you see the old man bleeding? If he has internal injuries and something happens at home, who will be responsible?"

Xie Gucheng asked, "He said he's fine. What do you want?"

Xiao Bing said, "I want you to take the old man to the hospital and apologize for your behavior. He's old enough to be your father. How can you insult him so casually?"

Xie Gucheng sneered, "I get it, you're in on it, right? Just trying to extort money."

Xie Gucheng took out his wallet, pulled out a wad of cash, and threw it at the old man's face. The cash scattered on the ground, and the old man was stunned, his face turning pale.

Xie Gucheng said smugly, "I have plenty of money. Is a few thousand yuan enough for medical expenses? Take the money and get lost! If you don't, I'll have my men beat you up."

The old sanitation worker squatted down, picking up the money from the ground, trembling, and handed it to Xie Gucheng, his eyes red with tears, "I don't want this money... I'm not trying to extort money."

Picking up the money, his heart was shattered.

Xie Gucheng, seeing the old man's dirty hands, pushed him away. The old man, being old, fell to the ground. Xie Gucheng spat at him, his face full of disgust, "Get lost, street cleaner! Damn poor guy!"

The old man looked at the saliva on his clothes and the scattered money, his face turning pale.

Xiao Bing's anger could no longer be contained. Xie Gucheng, still smug, said, "A few thousand yuan is enough for you, don't be greedy, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"

The beauty glanced at her watch, about to speak, when she suddenly saw Xiao Bing punch Xie Gucheng in the face. With a loud thud, Xie Gucheng flew backward, blood gushing from his mouth, and several teeth fell out, looking pitiful.

No one expected Xiao Bing to attack so suddenly. By the time Xie Gucheng's two bodyguards reacted, he was already flying. They both lunged at Xiao Bing, but he grabbed their heads and slammed them together, knocking them out.

Xiao Bing walked to Xie Gucheng, bent down slightly, and said, "We don't need your money. If the old man really has any problems, I'll pay for his treatment myself. But we need your apology, an apology to the old man!"

Xie Gucheng struggled to get up, several teeth missing, his mouth leaking, and said indistinctly, "You're dreaming. Do you know who I am? I'm the eldest son of the Xie family in Jiangcheng. My father is the head of the Xie family. You're dead!"

Xiao Bing sighed lightly, his shoe landing on Xie Gucheng's knee, and stepped down. Xie Gucheng screamed like a pig being slaughtered, falling to his knees. His kneecap was crushed, and he almost fainted from the pain.

Xiao Bing's foot landed on his other leg, looking at him calmly. Suddenly, the woman's trembling voice said, "Stop... Do you know who he is?"

Xiao Bing smiled faintly, "He's from the Xie family in Jiangcheng, and his father is the head of the family."

The beauty was stunned, then remembered what Xie Gucheng had said. Seeing this man act without hesitation despite knowing Xie Gucheng's background, her pupils contracted, and she asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary person from out of town."

The beauty sighed in relief, nodded, and resumed her condescending tone, "Do you know what will happen to an ordinary person who offends the Xie family in Jiangcheng? Even if you have some status elsewhere, you should have heard a saying."

Xiao Bing asked, "What saying?"

"Even a strong dragon doesn't suppress the local snake!"

Xiao Bing nodded, but without warning, his right foot stepped down. Xie Gucheng screamed and fainted. This step not only knocked Xie Gucheng out but also shattered the beauty's confidence and pride.

Xiao Bing turned to the beautiful woman, his gaze calm and unassuming, yet it conveyed a strong sense of confidence.

"I think you should have heard a saying too."

The beauty gritted her teeth, "What saying?"

"A fierce dragon doesn't cross the river!"

After saying this, Xiao Bing ignored the stunned beauty, turned to the old man, picked up the money from the ground, and handed it to him, "Old man, let's go. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."

The old sanitation worker took the money, tears in his eyes, and shook his head, "No, really, no need."

"Let's go, really, let's go. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up to make sure you're okay," Xiao Bing said, helping the old man up and preparing to leave.

The beauty suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Bing paused slightly, his voice filled with pride and confidence, "Xiao Bing!"

As Xiao Bing helped the old man away, the middle-aged man with bronze skin behind the beauty sighed, "Miss, this man is ruthless. With those two kicks, Young Master Xie might not be able to get out of bed for half a year."

The beauty turned, looking at the middle-aged man with a hint of reproach, "Uncle Li, why didn't you intervene? Although he hit someone from the Xie family, Xie Gucheng was with us. Hitting him is like insulting our Ye family."

Uncle Li laughed bitterly, shaking his head, "I didn't want to get Miss into trouble. This man is very strong... I'm not his match."

The beauty was shocked. Uncle Li was a true expert, far superior to Xie Gucheng's two useless bodyguards. If even Uncle Li...

Uncle Li looked at Xiao Bing's retreating figure with caution, "And he has a scent of blood on him... He must have killed before, maybe more than one person. Miss, it's best to stay away from such a person."

The beauty, surprised by Uncle Li's high evaluation, showed a thoughtful expression. At this moment, she ignored the issue of face and revealed the wisdom and ambition of a strong woman. She glanced at the unconscious Young Master Xie and his two bodyguards, her eyes flashing with cunning, "Send them to the hospital. Let's pick up my father first. I'll talk to Uncle Xie later..."

Uncle Li asked, "What do you mean, Miss?"

"If he's killed by the Xie family, it's none of my business. If he's as strong as you say, as long as he can overcome this obstacle... there are no eternal friends or enemies. We can recruit him for our use, right?"

Uncle Li sighed in relief, admiringly, "Miss, you are wise."

The beauty smiled, her eyes shining with ambition. This beautiful woman's eyes revealed a strong ambition. If Xie Gucheng was just a spoiled brat, this beauty was a true femme fatale.

After taking the old man to the hospital for a check-up and confirming he was fine, Xiao Bing arrived at the address Su Peiya had told him before she died. Holding the urn, he stood at the door of Su Peiya's house, his heart heavy.
