12:45 a.m.

All 32 enemies were wiped out, their captain, a colonel, committed suicide with a gun. Apart from two bodyguards in the villa who were slightly injured by the blast, everyone else was safe and sound.

This was all because Xiaofan delivered the message in time, and Xiaolei's on-the-spot command was appropriate. Plus, Xiaolei's former captain from Yanhuang Soul appeared with five teammates in time, leading to such a result.

"David died in the hospital. Was it you?"

In the garden outside the villa, Xiaolei's captain slowly asked Xiaolei.

"Yes." There was no need to hide, Xiaolei directly admitted it.

"Sigh. Do you know that you originally had a slim chance to return to the organization, but by killing David, you completely ruined your future." The captain reproached, disappointed.

"Being able to take revenge personally. That's enough for my lifetime. Captain, it's up to you how to deal with me." Xiaolei said quietly.

"You idiot, it's not my decision how to deal with you, the police have already handled the matter. It's nothing to do with me. We're leaving, and from now on..." Saying this, the captain suddenly paused.

"Captain..."

"Let's meet again if fate allows. Is Mr. Ye ready?" The captain stepped forward slowly, talking with his teammates.

"Captain, Mr. Ye said he's not going anywhere, he still has things to handle, so he's staying here." A teammate immediately replied.

"Alright. Let's leave it at that. The organization will handle the rest. Let's go."

The former teammates parted ways just like that. The scenes of life and death battles vividly flashed in their minds. If possible, Xiaolei really wanted to keep striving with them. Unfortunately, you can't have your cake and eat it.

"Xiaolei..."

"Yes."

"Take care."

"You too."

The bodies in the villa would be collected by the police. Ye Dahe was still locked in his room, dealing with files on his computer. He didn't know who these foreigners were or why they wanted to kill him, nor did he want to find out.

Lei Xiaolei gazed confusedly at the horizon; a meteor streaked by. Where should he go from here?

'Clap.'

"Thanks for tonight." Xiaofan came over and patted Lei Xiaolei on the shoulder, smiling faintly.

"Who's thanking who here, if it weren't for you, I couldn't have taken revenge." Xiaolei said with a bitter smile.

"Can't go back to Yanhuang Soul?" Xiaofan asked softly.

"Yeah."

"Let's go, let's drink. My treat."

"Sure."

The two walked past the bodies and went towards the gate. By this time, this so-called martial arts tournament was truly over for them.

However, while David and these foreigners had been dealt with, who knows when the people from Red Butterfly would come again? It was still an unknown variable.

New troubles would arise again; better to enjoy drinking while there was still free time.

"Hmm? Conan-kun?"

As the two were about to walk out the door, a sweet girl's voice rang out.

"Ye Xiaofan. Is it really you?" Lin Miaoke looked at Xiaofan, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Mistaken identity?" Xiaofan glanced at her and immediately turned to leave.

"Oh, come on, how come you're always at the center of trouble? You're even more Conan than Conan! Tell me, how did you end up in this mess again?" Lin Miaoke hurriedly pulled Xiaofan and asked.

"Report to the officer. Ye Dahe is my uncle, report complete. But what about you? When did you transfer to the police?" Xiaofan asked, curling his lips.

"I've been here for a while. What's up with you, didn't I give you the police academy admission notification? Why didn't you come to report?" Lin Miaoke asked again.

"I don't like being a cop. You go ahead, I'm leaving now."

"Hey, where are you studying now? Hey. Don't go, you're really..."

No matter how Lin Miaoke shouted from behind, Xiaofan walked straight out. It was really baffling; why did he have to run into this troublesome character here? He definitely mustn't let her cling on, or else his every move would be under her watch.

The two exited Ye Dahe's villa, got into a taxi, and went straight to Chen Mei'Er's nightclub.

This time, Xiaofan did not go upstairs; instead, he found a seat directly in the noisy first-floor hall.

With a drink in hand, the two began to talk.

"What are your plans?" Xiaofan asked casually.

"I'll stick with you. You're the champion of the free combat championship, there's no way you're just an ordinary college student, right?" Xiaolei asked with a smile.

"I really am just an ordinary college student, but I do have something I'd like to ask for your help with." Xiaofan said slowly.

"Go on."

"In the hospital room, you heard what David said. Even if they didn't succeed this time, short-term, the people from Red Butterfly will still target my uncle. I have other matters to deal with, and I might not be able to protect my uncle, so..."

"Leave it to me." Lei Xiaolei answered without a second thought.

"As for the payment, how much did you charge last time to protect my uncle?" Xiaofan continued asking.

"What payment? I have money; my family's loaded... Besides, for something like what you're asking me to do, I'm more than happy to. Mr. Ye is someone I deeply admire too." Xiaolei said with a smile.

Actually, helping to protect Ye Dahe was no different from when he was in Yanhuang Soul, except that he wasn't an actual member of Yanhuang Soul anymore. He wasn't taking orders from them.

"But..."

"No need to be polite; how about this, when I need money, I'll ask you then, anyway, judging by your look, you wouldn't refuse, right?" Xiaolei suddenly laughed.

"Haha, alright then. Come, let's drink to it."

They clinked glasses and drained their drinks in one gulp.

"Hey, you know more about the people from Red Butterfly than I do. Sending you alone seems risky. If there's any crisis, you need to notify me first. If we could find one more person to help, that would be even better." Xiaofan didn't want to see his friends suffer more harm.

"Look, a helper." Xiaolei smiled slightly and gestured behind Xiaofan.

Hearing this, Xiaofan turned around. He saw a familiar figure. What was up today, seeing familiar faces everywhere he went?

Behind him, less than five meters away, Li San was carefully pickpocketing a wallet from a customer drinking. This guy was very careful in his actions, and after getting the wallet, he immediately slipped into the crowd, ran out of the bar, and disappeared.

Xiaofan shook his head with a wry smile, then pulled out a hundred yuan to pay for the drinks and stood up: "Let's go, have a word with him."

Li San happily opened the wallet he took, pulling out the cash inside, then took a look at the contents.

"Hmph, what a fake. Just bluffing about driving some fancy car, and there's only a little over three thousand in the wallet..."

Stuffing the money into his pocket, Li San bought three bowls of noodles to go from a noodle shop before continuing towards a very shabby house, completely unaware he was being trailed by two guys.
