“..” Xiao Bing suddenly did not know what to say.

But Zhan Hongyan smiled when she saw Xiao Bing being embarrassed. The aloofness on her face did not cover the joy she was feeling. “Don’t worry, you can just tell me their locations and I’ll check them out one by one. And since I work for you now, you have become my boss. I’ll beat whoever you want me to beat. And I assume there’s a salary for me?”

“Of course there is,” said Xiao Bing. “Whether you do many things for me or do nothing for me in a month, let’s say your salary will always be 8000. Of course, sometimes there will be a bonus for you.”

“Ok. A little is better than nothing at all.”

Xiao Bing grinned. “At least I won’t ask you to do those illegal things. Perhaps the money you earn from me for a year is less than a single payment to kill someone, but at least you won’t be troubled by your conscience.”

Quite to his surprise, Zhan Hongyan fell silent. Then she nodded her head sternly. “That’s true.”historical

The sadness in her voice was obvious. But then she stood up, seemingly about to leave. She suddenly restored her usual aloofness and turned to Xiao Bing. “Who exactly is that Gao Fei?”

“Gao Fei?” Xiao Bing shrugged. “He’s a friend and he also works here, just like you.”

“He.. is a scary man.” Zhan Hongyan drew a deep breath and stared at Xiao Bing sternly. “I don’t know why he’s willing to work for you. But I have this feeling that he’s even scarier than you, and he’s scarier than any assassin I’ve ever met.”

Xiao Bing snapped his fingers and grinned. “That’s an objective judgment. Just don’t mess with him. And his true identity is not your concern.”

“You don’t need to tell me that. No one wants to mess with men like him, who can kill a person like killing an ant. I’m going to check the apartments now.”

“Can you drive?” asked Xiao Bing.

“I’m sure I could be the champion if I participated in an amateur motor race.”

Xiao Bing snapped his fingers and called out a name, “Auntie Liu.”

Out of a room came a middle-aged woman. She was the new housekeeper of the mansion. The last one died of sorrow after Ye Bancheng’s death, so he had to pick a new butler. She watched Ye Xiaoxi grow up and had always shared a good relationship with her.

“Auntie Liu, my friend needs a car. Can you give her the car keys?”

It was no different from giving her a car, but the butler did not even hesitate. In her eyes, Xiao Bing was already the head of the Ye family. She was a witness of their love and sooner or later they would get married. Xiao Bing would be the pillar of this family at that time.

After she gave the keys to Zhan Hongyan, the butler took Zhan Hongyan to see the car. There were many unoccupied cars in the mansion in case of emergency.

After he was done with Zhan Hongyan, Xiao Bing called Jiang Wanting and asked her about the progress of the case. He was very serious about the case. After all, Bi Tingting was once his woman. It was impossible for him to not care about the girls he had been with.

This most important thing about this thing was to find out who had hired these assassins to kill Jiang Wanting. Jiang Wanting had always kept a low profile. He couldn’t figure out why someone wanted her dead. He wondered if there was a certain conflict of interest. Though the Ghost Nest had failed this time, it would definitely send other assassins. Bi Tingting was out in broad daylight while her enemy was in the dark. As a celebrity, Bi Tingting would be in great danger if he couldn’t find out who wanted her dead.

But just as he had expected, none of the assassins confessed, or maybe they did not even know who hired them at all. Xiao Bing had asked Zhan Hongyan about it. But she said it was her two leaders that had given her this mission. She did not know who paid the money either.

Xiao Bing started discussing the extermination of the Ghost Nest with Jiang Wanting after they did not find anything new about this case. Jiang Wanting was surprised and excited when hearing that he knew the location of the Ghost Nest. But Xiao Bing did not tell her how he got this information and Jiang Wanting did not ask. She then invited Xiao Bing to pay a visit to the office of the criminal police.

Xiao Bing’s phone rang again right after he had just hung up. The voice sounded deep and low. After all, almost no woman on earth would still feel good after she survived a murder. Bi Tingting asked him to come to her place tonight. Xiao Bing did not refuse. But he had to lie to Ye Xiaoxi about it.

Xiao Bing drove to the police station and it was the third time he had been there. Xiao Bing met Jiang Wanting in the office. A young policewoman served him a cup of tea and walked out of the door, leaving the two alone in the room.

Jiang Wanting asked bluntly, “Brother Bing, where are they?”

“In the suburbs in the north of the city, there is a big farm surrounded by electric wire mesh. Its gate is closed all day and no one can get in. That’s where their base is. But I wonder if they already know that we have found their location. After all, we have captured several of their assassins. What I fear is that they have already moved.”

Frowning, Jiang Wanting added, “These guys are really capable of keeping secrets. I barely dug a thing out of their mouths. I surmise that the Ghost Nest must have a lot of confidence in our captives. They might be more vigilant, but I don’t think that they will move to another place.”

Xiao Bing pondered for a moment and deemed it reasonable. Some power assassins usually would underestimate the police and they didn’t even know that Zhan Hongyan had turned against them. They might still regard the police as a bunch of fools. Their mentality was strengthened by hard training, so it was possible that they did not believe the police could dig something out of the captives’ mouths.

Xiao Bing was impressed by Jiang Wangting’s profound analysis of the ego of the assassins, though she was still a young woman. He decided to start the first strike soon, maybe he could destroy the Ghost Nest once and for all.

“The Ghost Nest is a hard nut to crack. We should pick up the pace. My friend and I are willing to exterminate it along with you. But we must arrange a strict deployment with sufficient units, so that we can be sure that none of them will escape.”

“Good!” Jiang Wanting seemed excited upon hearing Xiao Bing say that he would help her. “How about we start the strike tomorrow tonight? I have thought about today, but there aren’t enough police here. I will request the police chief to deploy all of the police in Jiang City. No one from the Ghost Nest will be able to escape in that case.”

“You must remind him that he can tell no one about this before the strike.”

“I know. You don’t need to worry about that. And you and your friends can come with us tomorrow. Though we have the advantage of numbers and weapons, more martial artists will improve our chances to win.”

Xiao Bing grinned. “No problem. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Jiang Wangting stood up and said, “In case of any accident and to destroy it as soon as possible, I’ll start preparing now. Please forgive my sudden leaving.”

Xiao Bing appreciated Jiang Wanting’s resoluteness very much. He stood up as well and said, “Why don’t we leave together?”

“Okay.”

The two parted in front of the police station. Jiang Wanting went to the head office of the police station and Xiao Bing drove to the noodle house.

After he got out of the car, Xiao Bing walked into the noodle house and asked Dumbass and Gao Fei to go to the inner room with him. “I already know where the Ghost Next is. I just went to the police station and we will destroy this organization with them tomorrow,” said Xiao Bing while looking at the two.

Dumbass seemed to be very excited and eager for this fight. He spoke while rubbing his fists. “I haven’t been in a good fight in a long time.”

But Gao Fei seemed uninterested.

“We won’t need many men tomorrow since there are so many police. The three of us and the police are enough to crush those killers on the ground.”

“Where are they exactly?” Gao Fei suddenly asked.

“You’ll know that when I take you there tomorrow.” But Xiao Bing suddenly thought of something else. “You’re saying that..”

“I’m not accustomed to working with the government,” said Gao Fei with aloofness.

Frowning, Xiao Bing asked, “You mean that the three of us are capable of doing that secretly?”

“Yes.. Since they have offended you, then we have to slay them all!”

That conspicuous intention of killing startled Xiao Bing. What surprised him most was Gao Fei’s unparalleled confidence. He did not even ask how many assassins there were.

Xiao Bing did not know if his confidence came from his strength or his arrogance.

Though Xiao Bing hoped that he could see Gao Fei’s true power this time, he didn’t give Gao Fei his consent of doing it all alone. He said sternly, “Since we’re surrounded by enemies, we should cooperate with the police and should not expose ourselves.”

“Okay. Just call me when you decide to move.”

“Okay, I’ll leave now and I’ll call you tomorrow. And, don’t tell anyone about this, especially the girls. And you, Dumbass, keep it in mind.”

“Okay, I know.” Dumbass sounded a little upset.

Xiao Bing grinned. “All right, I’ll leave you then. Tomorrow is the day that we can show what we’re really capable of.”

Xiao Bing now needed men who knew how to fight, and it was an opportunity for Dumbass to train himself.

Xiao Bing told Wang Guifang that he could not go to the noodle house for a while because he would be busy in the days to come. Then he left the noodle house and drove to Bi Tingting’s apartment.

Before he headed for Bi Tingting’s apartment, he bought himself a hat and big sunglasses. After all, they had kissed on stage, so if the media spotted him entering Bi Tingting’s apartment and not coming out until dawn, Bi Tingting’s career would be greatly impacted.

When he was about to arrive, Xiao Bing called Yezi and told her that he couldn’t come home tonight. Then he parked his car in front of her apartment. Since some assassins had tried to kill Bi Tingting before, there were several policemen in plain clothes lurking around and two bodyguards beside the door.

One of the bodyguards asked, “You’re Mr. Xiao, right?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing nodded.

Then the bodyguards stepped aside. Xiao Bing knocked on the door. Bi Tingting answered it and let him in.
