Our Precious Cabbage Was Going After a Pig

What's going on? Are these people lining up to call me today? Bai Ye looked at the unfamiliar number and pressed answer again.

"A Bai, I didn't expect you to be doing so well now. You even made it onto TV." A familiar voice came through the phone. The moment Bai Ye heard it, he nearly frowned on instinct.

"Li Shu, what do you want?" Bai Ye asked.

"Nothing much. Just checking in on you. After all, you're on TV now, so you can't afford to have any blemishes, hehehe." The voice on the other end sounded amiable, but the threat in his words made Bai Ye sick.

The other party clearly meant trouble, and Bai Ye could not be bothered to waste words. "What do you want?"

"I saw online that a lot of corporations are preparing to hire you as an endorser. Those offers... tsk, tsk. Legal business really does make money fast."

Li Shu sighed before revealing his purpose. "As for what I want, it's simple. I only need thirty million US Dollars. Then everything you did before can stay buried forever."

"Thirty million? US Dollars?" Killing intent rose in Bai Ye's heart, though he refused aloud, "Where am I supposed to get that much money?"

"As long as you take on more jobs, won't the money come rolling in for you? I'll give you three days to think about it. If you refuse by then, A Bai, you wouldn't want the entire United States to know about your glorious past, would you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of busy tones came from Bai Ye's phone. The other party had hung up first.

Three days to think about it? Bai Ye looked up at the moon, missing one corner. Two days will be enough for those people who are courting death.

The next moment, Bai Ye started moving again and ran straight toward Chief George's house.

The journey was uneventful. Bai Ye no longer bothered to hide himself and quickened his pace, running like the wind. Before long, he arrived at the address George had given him.

If there was any benefit to Bai Ye being exposed, it was that he no longer had to carefully conceal his physical abilities.

After all, everyone now knew that he had single-handedly wiped out a gang of armed robbers. So it was perfectly reasonable for him to run a little faster and be a little stronger.

Standing at the door, Bai Ye lightly pressed the doorbell. After a ding-dong and a brief wait, the door quickly opened. A pretty young girl with shoulder-length blonde hair appeared before him.

"Hello. We meet again." Bai Ye lightly greeted the surprised Gwen.

"You... why are you at my house?" Gwen looked at Bai Ye in surprise. She instinctively adjusted her blonde hair, then put her hands behind her back as two blushes rose to her cheeks.

"This is your house? Chief George invited me here for dinner." Bai Ye pretended not to know. In truth, anyone even slightly familiar with Marvel's plot knew that Gwen had a chief for a father, so he was not surprised to see her answer the door.

"My dad invited you to our house for dinner?" Only then did Gwen remember that Bai Ye had been caught up in a robbery that morning. She asked worriedly, "I saw the news this morning. You weren't hurt, were you?"

"No. But are we going to keep talking at the door?" Bai Ye glanced inside. Only then did Gwen realize that she had gotten so caught up in talking that she had forgotten where they were. She stepped forward, took Bai Ye's arm, and led him inside. Then she whispered, "Dad is in the room. He doesn't have the best temper, so go easy on him."

As Bai Ye listened to Gwen speak, her warm breath brushed against his earlobe, making it itch a little.

He suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu. Didn't this look too much like a boyfriend visiting his girlfriend's home for the first time? It felt oddly awkward.

With that thought, Bai Ye instinctively put a little distance between himself and Gwen. He could already hear footsteps nearby, someone about to emerge from the kitchen.

To avoid drawing too much attention from the chief, it was better to keep a suitable distance.

The next moment, a woman in her forties wearing a floral apron came out of the kitchen.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Bai Ye's appearance, and her tone became gentler. "You must be Bai Ye. Welcome to my home for dinner. I'm George's wife. You can call me Aunt Helen. The food is almost ready, and you..."

Halfway through, she noticed her daughter standing beside Bai Ye. Gwen was actually holding Bai Ye's hand intimately, and under her gaze, her face turned bright red.

"What is this?" Helen opened her mouth in surprise. At that moment, George walked out of the room with a stern expression and saw the scene before him. His mind went blank.

"Let me introduce him. This is Bai Ye, and he's also a schoolmate from Midtown High School. We met a few times before. I just didn't expect Dad to invite Bai Ye over for dinner too." Gwen said with a smile, holding Bai Ye's right hand.

They're schoolmates, and they met a few times... then they started holding hands? Helen had so many things she wanted to say that she did not know where to begin. Especially when she saw Bai Ye's helpless expression and her daughter's bashful face, it was obvious that her daughter was the one pursuing him. She did not know what to think.

George was even more shaken. He had wanted to say something, but he remembered that he had invited Bai Ye over and needed his help. After holding it in for a long while, he finally said, "Let's eat first."

Bai Ye: ...

He no longer knew what to say. Wasn't this developing in a rather strange direction? Putting together all the information he had, Bai Ye even came to an absurd conclusion. Could George have invited him over to play matchmaker and set him up with his daughter...?

Thinking that, Bai Ye's gaze toward George changed slightly. He had not expected the old man to be so open-minded.

With an indescribably strange feeling, Bai Ye was pulled by Gwen to the table and silently took the chair beside her.

Several young children from the Stacy family, who had been eagerly waiting nearby, watched Bai Ye sit down with stars in their eyes. "Big brother, you're so handsome! Are you Sister's boyfriend?"

"No!" Before Bai Ye could speak, George answered first. "He's a guest Dad invited over to discuss something. Don't bother him."

"Oh..." The children lowered their heads in disappointment. In their eyes, if this pretty big brother were their sister's boyfriend, they would have many chances to play with him in the future.

But just after George warned his children, he turned around and saw his daughter leaning close to Bai Ye, intimately introducing which dishes on the table were delicious and quietly asking whether he had any dietary restrictions.

Watching Bai Ye squirm uncomfortably under his daughter's attention, George no longer knew what to say.

His precious jade cabbage had actually taken the initiative to go after a pig...
