Bibi Dong had no intention of letting her beloved disciple's innocence be taken by that shameless little thief.

First there had been Bibi Dong's secret-room tragedy.

Then came Liu Erlong's tragedy. The matter was already clear. That guy was no good person.

Hu Liena, who had been so imposing before, immediately wilted upon hearing her teacher say that.

After all, she watched Liu Erlong howl in the group chat every day. Among them, Liu Erlong screamed the fiercest.

If Liu Erlong were replaced with herself...

Just imagining that scene sent a chill down Hu Liena's spine. In an instant, she gave up any thought of provoking Du Bei and his group.

"Since Teacher says so..."

Above all, she knew when to yield. She could bend and stretch as needed.

"..."

Soto City.

Across the street from the Rose Hotel.

The door of the hotel without a sign slowly opened.

A pink figure bounced out and stood at the entrance, looking around in search of her target.

From the shadow cast by a pillar at the entrance—

A graceful figure quietly emerged, watching the pink figure before her with probing eyes.

A cool voice drifted over.

"Are you Big Radish?"

"That's right, that's right! I'm Big Radish!"

"Of course, now that we've met in person, you can call me Xiao Wu or Sister Xiao Wu!" As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, putting on the airs of a big sister.

While Xiao Wu was still introducing herself,

Du Bei, who had been a step behind, slowly walked out as well. When he saw Zhu Zhuqing, he greeted her.

"Hello, Little Zhuqing. We meet again."

"Do you still need help?"

After saying that, he even blinked, as if trying to prove his sincerity.

After all, they had already seen each other's true faces, so there was no need to be so distant.

"Thank you for last time..."

Faced with their concern, Zhu Zhuqing accepted it openly. She already owed them plenty; owing a little more made no difference.

In any case, she had already made up her mind before coming here.

"Alright, don't just stand around outside."

"Come in and have a seat."

As he spoke, Du Bei beckoned the two girls over and entered first.

Xiao Wu followed close behind him.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, who walked last, she silently withdrew her gaze from the figure standing in the middle of the street and walked inside at an unhurried pace.

She had actually been inside the Rose Hotel just now.

She had more or less figured out the true situation of that fiancé she had once held hopes for.

As for the specifics...

They could only be described in four words.

A hopeless case.

Rather than placing her hopes on someone like that, she might as well make a new investment and place them on this uncle who had treated her so well before.

At least then, it would be her own willing choice.

Even if she regretted it later, it would not matter. She had already set her heart on this man.

Xiao Wu: I treated you like a sister, and you're trying to steal my uncle?

The lobby lounge.

By the sofas.

"Come on, sit wherever you like."

"Just treat this place like your own home. It's only just been renovated, and it'll still be a while before we open."

As he spoke, Du Bei sat down in the middle.

The other two girls sat together on the sofa opposite him, pressed close to each other.

Looking at the way the two of them sat,

it was clear they had already become good sisters.

"Zhuqing, isn't it uncomfortable wearing that outfit?"

As Xiao Wu spoke, she could not suppress her curiosity and reached out to touch it, feeling the smooth surface of the fabric.

Fortunately, they were both women.

Zhu Zhuqing did not react strangely to Xiao Wu touching her. She simply let Xiao Wu's hands roam over her clothes.

"Du Bei..."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's troubled expression, Du Bei immediately understood. He waved a hand and said casually,

Du Bei immediately understood the situation. He waved a hand and said casually,

"Alright, if you aren't used to calling me by name, just call me Uncle like Xiao Wu does."

"I'm used to being called that anyway."

As he spoke, he took a bottle of juice from beneath a nearby table and tossed it toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"Alright, Uncle. Thank you."

She smoothly caught the bottle in midair. Without hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing accepted the form of address.

After all, that was how she had addressed him during the secret-room meeting.

It rolled off the tongue more easily this way.

The three of them chatted for a while.

The initial awkwardness between them quickly faded, and they soon got along well.

"Really?"

"Zhuqing, was the person thrown into the middle of the street just now really your fiancé? Then why didn't you help him when you came in?"

Faced with Xiao Wu's innocent question,

Zhu Zhuqing revealed a bleak smile and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"It's complicated."

"I was also in the Rose Hotel lobby at the time. Back then..."

Zhu Zhuqing began to explain.

The other two listened carefully and more or less understood what had happened and why.

Put simply—

Dai Mubai had arrogantly told that group of people to get lost, only to kick an iron plate and get beaten badly.

After seeing Dai Mubai living such a life of debauchery, Zhu Zhuqing was completely disappointed in him.

She had completely given up on this so-called fiancé of hers.

"Then what will you do from now on?"

In response to Du Bei's question, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head to look at him. Her eyes burned as she made a request.

"Uncle, can I ask you for something?"

"Could you lend me your Magic Mirror? I want to learn the truth about some things."

Her voice was incomparably solemn.

By the time she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing had walked to Du Bei's side and dropped to her knees with a thud.

Her forehead pressed tightly against the floor.

She looked as though she would not get up unless he agreed.

"Good grief! What's with this?"

"If you have something to say, say it properly. Get up, get up... I agree, alright?"

It took quite some effort

before he finally helped Zhu Zhuqing back to her feet.

"Thank you!"

"Alright, alright. I've granted you permission for the secret room. Just go to my secret room yourself."

"..."

A series of knocks sounded at the door.

When the door opened, Cuihua and her group came into view, standing outside in a grand procession.

"Boss, we're back!"

"We also brought back the sign from the headquarters while we were at it. Look..."

Cuihua and the three beauties stepped aside.

They revealed the sign being carried by the underlings behind them.

Three large characters were written clearly across it: BLACK HAND GANG!

Seeing this, Du Bei clapped his hands in praise.

"Nicely done. Hurry up and put it up."

"As for everyone else, get inside. We should start operating tomorrow."

Upon receiving their boss's praise, the other Black Hand Gang members threw themselves into their work with renewed enthusiasm.

Those who needed to hang the sign hung the sign.

Those who needed to arrange the furniture arranged the furniture. Even the receptionist was already prepared—a young female Soul Master who had come over from Ruoding City with them.

As for whether this place was a hotel?

Of course not!

What a joke. How could the Black Hand Gang work in such a cliché industry? If they were going to do something, they would do it big!

This place was—the Black Hand Gang's mission dispatch center!

Also known as: an agency.

"Where are the people we sent out to scout the area earlier?"

"Here, here! These are some of the missions and requests I discovered..."

The lounge soon became lively.

Seeing that he was no longer needed, Du Bei, as the boss, felt quite gratified and quietly left the lobby.

Having those underlings here was enough.
