The little girl's forehead gradually turned black.

Lin Shuyou: "What are you doing?"

Bai Family's Lady: "Sir, she has a hidden illness. I'm helping it manifest so it can be discovered and treated early."

"Hmm, you're thoughtful."

"It's because you are kind, sir."

The little girl sleepily walked out of the alley, returned to her original seat, and continued to sleep, occasionally coughing once or twice.

Lin Shuyou returned to the small dining table, and when his eyes met Tan Wenbin's, he reached for the chopsticks.

Chen Lin: "Did you wash your hands?"

Lin Shuyou: "No..."

Chen Lin picked up a bottle of purified water from the table: "Stretch out your hands, and wash them as best as you can."

Lin Shuyou extended his hands, took the water, and rubbed them together.

After finishing the late-night snack, Tan Wenbin asked the two girls to wait there while he and Lin Shuyou went to get the car.

On the way, Lin Shuyou told Tan Wenbin what had happened earlier.

Tan Wenbin: "Then it should be her family's enemy."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, what should we do?"

Tan Wenbin: "What do you think Brother Xiao Yuan would do if we reported this to him?"

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiao Yuan doesn't like trouble, so he probably wouldn't care."

Tan Wenbin: "No, Brother Xiao Yuan would likely intervene. Since the people looking for Chen Lin know she's in Nantong, they should have known she was attending college in Jinling earlier.

Choosing to seek revenge in Nantong must have a reason.

I suspect it's because Chen Lin possesses some kind of special ability, one with attributes leaning towards evil. After she entered Nantong, she was restrained by the one under the Peach Forest.

Either she didn't bring it in, or she did but couldn't use it.

This allowed that person to seize the opportunity for revenge.

Elsewhere, that person wouldn't be confident of success.

Sure, you and she may not see eye to eye. If you did, and if you were serious about dating her, Brother Xiao Yuan would have to step in to resolve issues with her family, just like he did for Xue Liangliang.

Right now, we really don't have the necessity to solve this issue for Chen Lin or the Chen family.

But since Chen Lin came to visit with Zhou Yunyun, and the restraint here impedes some of her methods, allowing others to take advantage, it's a bit unreasonable on our part as well."

Tan Wenbin opened the car door, about to sit in the driver's seat, then paused.

"Ah You, I remember you didn't drink, right?"

"I didn't drink."

"Then you drive. I've been drinking, so I won't drive."

"Alright."

The two got into the car. As Lin Shuyou was about to start the vehicle, Tan Wenbin pressed his hand: "Call out that Bai Family's Lady."

Lin Shuyou activated the Shuping, his gaze scanning around, and soon, Bai Family's Lady appeared in front of the car's windshield.

A pale-skinned little girl phantom kneeled there, making the night scene quite eerie.

Tan Wenbin: "Report the location to whoever commissioned you, Shinan Town Si Yuan Village, turn into the second entrance after the Shijia Bridge, it's the house with a two-story building and two bungalows on the north side of the village road."

Lin Shuyou blinked; the address Brother Bin mentioned belonged to Mr. Li's house.

"Yes, sir."

"Wait, I'm not finished yet."

"Please continue, sir."

"Tell your Madam that some rules have to change.

From today on, whenever a similar incident happens in the Bai family town, you must report to us in advance. If we're not home..."

Tan Wenbin pulled out a small notebook, wrote down a number, tore off the paper, and handed it to her, "report it to him first."

The number was from the affordable store, and the record keeper was Lu Yi.

Technically, reporting directly to Xiong Shan and Lihua would work, but strictly speaking, they are not our people as they have pledged loyalty to the Dragon King family.

However, Lu Yi has already accumulated extensive experience in this regard, and the affordable store now counts as an asset under our team's name, with Lu Yi working for us.

Bai Family's Lady opened her mouth, sucked in the slip of paper, and respectfully said:

"Understood!"

"Convey to your Madam that I'll visit her and her son when I have some free time in a few days."

"We await your arrival."

"You may go now."

Bai Family's Lady dispersed with the wind.

Lin Shuyou took out the big phone and asked, "Brother Bin, should we inform Brother Xiao Yuan in advance?"

"Why notify him?"

"After all, we are leading people to his house."

"Mm, since we're bringing them to our place, do you think it's necessary to notify him anymore?"

Lin Shuyou suddenly realized: "Right, you're correct."

Other families' homes are vulnerabilities, but our home stands strong in the literal sense of 'unwavering with resilience.'

Tan Wenbin: "After all, we're driving back anyway. We'll mention it to Brother Xiao Yuan then. Mainly, do you expect Brother Xiao Yuan to go out and knock on Aunt Zhang's store's iron door just to call us back for something like this?

Sigh, it feels like we should install a landline at home; otherwise, it's really inconvenient."

Lin Shuyou: "It certainly should be installed."

Tan Wenbin: "I was planning to install it by the New Year. Mr. Li had been convinced by me until Xue Liangliang said that the price of installing a phone would get cheaper in the future, and Mr. Li changed his mind."

Lin Shuyou: "But having a phone would make things convenient."

Tan Wenbin looked at the big phone in his hand: "It's fine. When I go visit that Bai Family Lady in a few days, I'll have a word with Brother Liangliang and hint that we need a second big phone. He'll understand.

With others, I might feel embarrassed about taking such an advantage, but with him... no need to be embarrassed. He's truly wealthy, and the kind who doesn't have enough to spend."
