Seeing that he was not the only one who had been tricked, Xu Le felt much better.
Although Ding Ke grabbed his hair and hammered him with several punches, what was eaten was eaten. There was no taking that taste back.
Bai Jing watched Xu Le being yanked by the hair by Black Cat, her expression somewhat complicated.
Her thoughts wandered a little, too.

Even he was starting to show symptoms.
"I used to have a very good friend, also named Bai Jing."
"Hey, hey, buddy.
