Xiao Bing briefly told them what had just happened and what they should do. “There were three assassins. Each of us will deal one assassin, in case they escape. We don’t need to kill them. We just need to get them under our control before the concert and take them to the police backstage.”

Lil Bei agreed and said with a smiled, “Brother Bing, I remember that we once had protected Bi Tingting for a while. Is that the reason you can get so many tickets this time? It seems that you two have been dating for a long time.”

Xiao Bing laughed and said crossly, “Stop thinking about that nonsense. Just do your job.”

“Yes, captain!”

Xiao Bing felt his heart warm upon hearing the word “captain”. He’d like to remind Lil Bei that he was no longer the captain. But since time was ticking, he did not want to waste time on how he was addressed. He told them how strong the assassins were. Quite to his surprise, Gao Fei volunteered to deal with the strongest one. Xiao Bing and Lil Bei then discussed which assassin they should pick, then they hung up.

“Damn, I need to pee.”

Xiao Bing was a little anxious. After he arrived at the stadium, he located the 7th row and pretended to head toward it naturally.

“Excuse me..”

As he got closer to his target, Xiao Bing found the assassin wearing a fitted cap, whose brim was greatly lowered. When Xiao Bing approached him, he noticed that this man’s breath was steady. He seemed not to be excited about the concert. And his hand leaning on the arm of the seat was conspicuously calloused. Xiao Bing instantly knew that this man was consistently practicing martial arts dealing with palms.historical

While Xiao Bing was about to pass by the target he had confirmed, he suddenly stood in front of this man and put his hands on this man’s shoulder. “Erhu? We haven’t met for so many years. I didn’t expect that I’d see you here,” said Xiao Bing while smiling.

Irritated, the man looked up and was about to say that Xiao Bing was mistaken. But suddenly, the assassin sensed something wrong. He tried to do something but one of Xiao Bing’s hands was already at his throat and the other was on his head. Xiao Bing suddenly pressed the man’s head and kicked it hard with his knee. The man was instantly knocked out.

Xiao Bing’s movements were so fast that no one near them had a clue of what had happened. They merely saw Xiao Bing gave this man a yank and left with the man leaning on his body while saying something unimportant.

While Xiao Bing knocked his target out, Gao Fei also approached his target, who was a muscular man. The assassin looked vigilant when he saw Gao Fei stop in front of him.

Then, the sturdy man was startled when he met Gao Fei’s cold-blooded eyes. He had never seen eyes like that, even though he had met many first-class assassins in the Ghost Nest.

“Who.. who the hell are you?”

“You don’t deserve to know.”

The sturdy man suddenly dashed at Gao Fei. Gao Fei was not a skinny man, but he still looked like a little bird in front of his target. The sturdy man kept coming toward him like a bulldozer that was about to smash him into a pile of meat.

The muscular man did not underestimate Gao Fei. He believed that his impact against Gao Fei could either knock him out or make him fall over. Maybe he could escape if the situation was the latter. However, his heart was almost in his throat when he saw the disdain in Gao Fei’s eyes.

“Bang!” The sturdy men felt like he had hit steel, except that it was not. Soon after, he felt dizzy. But before he could do anything else, Gao Fei had already poked his ribs. Instantly, the sturdy man lost sensation in half of his body.

Then Gao Fei broke the man’s arms and jaw as fast as lightning, which made the man unable to either move or talk. Gao Fei carried him on his shoulder and beginning walking outside while being gazed at by lots of people, whose attention was then drawn back to the music coming from the stage.

Xiao Bing, Lil Bei, and Gao Fei all carried their targets backstage once the police had been there for a few minutes. They were just asking questions in Bi Tingting’s dressing room. Their leader was Jiang Wanting, whom Xiao Bing had met a few times. She was confused when seeing Xiao Bing walk in with a man on his shoulder. “Mr. Xiao, what happened?”

Since she had a good impression of Xiao Bing, she wasn’t being too suspicious.

“They are assassins who were here to kill Bi Tingting. My friend and I captured them alive. Since you are here, why not take these men to the police station?”

Though she knew that Xiao Bing was quite a capable men, she had never expected that Xiao Bing could put all the killers down in such a short time. She was even more surprised that Xiao Bing had two powerful friends.

“What’s his true identity?” Jiang Wanting was afire with curiosity.

In any case, Xiao Bing helped her a lot this time. “I should really thank you this time. You have helped me more than once,” she said with sincerity.

Xiao Bing smiled. “Citizens should cooperate with the police. I was a soldier before, remember?”

Jiang Wanting nodded while smiling. “By the way, I was told that the assassin who tried to murder Bi Tingting was a woman. Do you know where she is?”

“She managed to escape after I interrogated her,” replied Xiao Bing, smiling bitterly.

“It’s a pity then.” Jiang Wangting turned to Bi Tingting, who had already had her makeup on. “Miss. Bi, I highly advise you to cancel the concert, given the situation here. Though all the assassins are arrested, there are still possibilities that..”

The stout agent near them nodded his head. But Bi Tingting sounded stubborn. “No, I can’t. Besides the fact that there will be a loss for the company, the fans here have been waiting for me for months. I’ll never disappoint them. I should take the risk for my fans.”

It was something Xiao Bing had anticipated, since he knew Bi Tingting all too well. Xiao Bing was sometimes impressed and touched by Bing Tingting’s devotion to her career and her fans.

Knowing that Bi Tingting wouldn’t cancel the concert, Jiang Wanting just said, “All right then. We’ll add forces around the building. The police of Jiang City all feel deeply sorry for what happened to you.”

Bi Tingting shook her head and tried to pull herself together. “Let’s go,” said Bi Tingting to the two assistants standing behind her.

Then she looked at Xiao Bing. “Brother Bing, see you at the concert.”

“See you,” replied Xiao Bing while nodding.

After Bi Tingting went out, Jiang Wangting reached out her hand to Xiao Bing and spoke with seriousness. “Thank you, Mr. Xiao, if it weren’t for your timely help, terrible things could have happened to Bi Tingting, which would have been a big blow to the city. I could have lost my job if these assassins succeeded. So, thanks for your help.”

“She’s a friend of mine. You don’t need to thank me.”

The two shook hands. “I’m increasingly curious about the army you once served in. You’re even a friend of such a big star. But I must leave now, I need to enhance the security here.”

“I understand. And I should get back to the concert.”

“All right. Call me if you have time. I want to buy you dinner.”

Xiao Bing was willing to develop a good relationship with the police of the city because it would be beneficial for him in the days to come. After he walked out of the dressing room, Xiao Bing told Lil Bei and Gao Fei to go back to their seats. Then he got back to his seat after he went to the bathroom.

“You went to the bathroom?” asked Su Xiaoxiao when Xiao Bing sat down, confused.

“Yes.” Xiao Bing looked like he was telling the truth. “Otherwise, what could I have done?”

“So.. Gao Fei and Lil Bei went to the bathroom as well?”

“How am I supposed to know?”

Su Xiaoxiao still looked confused, but she did not ask any more questions.

The lights on the stage suddenly went out. At first, there was a humming among the restless people but soon after it turned to screams. And the light sticks in their hands shimmered like the stars in the night.

Slowly, Bi Tingting appeared on the stage, standing on the lifting platform in a white dress. She was just like Snow White. Even Su Xiaoxiao could not help standing up and cheering for the star. Xiao Bing looked around and found that no one was sitting quietly, except for Lil Bei and Gao Fei.

“The love I have for you is like raindrops, dripping on my heart,” Bi Tingting sang.

She sang beautifully like a nightingale. The audience was all drowned in her voice and the catchy melody. Every word drifted deep in their minds. Xiao Bing was surprised by her voice. It seemed that her vocal skill had leaped to another level, although originally her voice was pleasant enough. Only the word “divine” could be used to describe her voice. There was nearly no one who could be her rival in the music industry. Xiao Bing imagined that she must have spent tremendous effort on music.

Gradually, there was no one shouting or screaming, as they were all intoxicated by her voice. The shimmering light from their light sticks swung as the audience swayed to the melody.

When the song was finished, screams of excitement filled the building. Even the aloof Su Xiaoxiao put her hands around Xiao Bing while shouting, “Brother Bing, did you see? This is the one true diva of China. Her voice is so beautiful. Brother Bing, thanks for taking me here. I love you so much.”

Su Xiaoxiao had never behaved like this before. Xiao Bing had to put his hands around her in case she fell on the ground, as she was clinging to his body like a python. He cuddled her with his hands accidentally on her butt. It felt soft and bouncy.

Xiao Bing swallowed. “You’re acting like this just because you just heard Bi Tingting sing a song. I wonder if you would be much crazier if I told you that I have slept with her.”

Xiao Bing unconsciously pinched her butt, feeling the softness.

Xiao Bing decided to walk around and choose a beauty to stand beside. He thought maybe when she was feeling high, she would hug him as well. “Why didn’t it occur to me that I should watch more concerts?” Xiao Bing wondered, still relishing the feeling.
