Xie Wendong asked intimately: "Brother Qu, I wonder where you are working now?"

  "What high-profile job!" Qu Fei said listlessly, "I used to be in the martial arts team, but recently I found that there was no development in the team and wanted to find a job. But I found out that it is difficult to find a job. I only graduated from junior high school. Who would hire me? Now I have contacted a company to work as a security guard. The salary is not high, but my grandmother and I have a guaranteed life!"

  "Oh, is that so?" Xie Wendong rolled his eyes and asked, "How much do you get paid per month there?"

  Qu Fei hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly: "The salary is not that high, about 400 yuan a month! I heard that the better ones can make more than 500 yuan!"

  Xie Wendong seemed to be concerned and asked, "How can you spend such a small amount of money? Your grandmother must be quite old. Is it just you and your grandson?"

  "Yes! My parents are both dead!" Qu Fei said with a sad look.

  Xie Wendong stopped asking why. Laqufei sat down and said with a smile, "How about this, if you want, you can come to work in my company. I know you hate gangsters, but I am a legitimate businessman now. I won't let you do anything illegal if you come to the company. Just be a security guard, and I can pay you twice as much as others. What do you think?"

  “This…” Qu Fei really hated gangsters and believed that the underworld was the root of the country’s evils and that they were all a bunch of blood-sucking parasites. But now he was really short of money. His grandmother was old and needed money for both major and minor illnesses. Qu Fei was a little hesitant.

  Xie Wendong admired Qu Fei very much. If he could recruit him, he would be a good talent. He didn't want to push him too hard, so he smiled and said, "You can go back and think about it first! Besides, there are good and bad gangs. Although I am not a good person, I am not a bad guy either. I invite you to our company as a friend to help each other. If you regard me as a friend?"

  Qu Fei nodded, thinking that although this man was born a gangster, he was still brave, as can be seen from Huo Hong's incident. After thinking about it, Qu Fei stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go back and think about it. How about I give you an answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

  Xie Wendong smiled and said, "Okay! It's settled!"

  After Qu Fei left, Xie Wendong stood in front of the huge French window and looked down at the bustling streets below, thinking to himself that maybe he was really a born bad guy! Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile. What if he was a bad guy? If he wasn't a bad guy, he would have been eliminated long ago. The current society is not the world of bad guys, but one day, I, a bad guy, will change the world!

  Late at night, Peng Ling was busy and came out of the Municipal Bureau very late. She politely declined Yan Ke's invitation and took a taxi home. Yan Ke was the policeman who often appeared beside Peng Ling. His father was a moderate official in the Municipal Government, but he had real power. Yan Ke himself was even more arrogant. He noticed Peng Ling when she first entered the Municipal Bureau. Later, when he learned that she was Peng Shulin's daughter, he pursued her relentlessly. He thought that if he had a relationship with Peng Ling, his future would be bright. Of course, Peng Ling's beauty was also one of the reasons why he couldn't give up. But Peng Ling had always been indifferent to him, and there was always a sense of strangeness between them.

  Since Peng Shulin usually had a lot of guests, and Peng Ling liked quietness and felt uncomfortable at home, she rented a house in a community not far from the Municipal Bureau and lived there alone.

  It was nearly ten o'clock and it was winter, so the neighborhood was unusually quiet and it was hard to see anyone.

  Peng Ling lowered her head while walking and thinking about something. Xie Wendong's recent affairs gave her a headache. Peng Ling and Xie Wendong were the same, both wanted to numb their emotions with work, but the result was the same, neither succeeded!

  Peng Ling entered the stairwell and found it was pitch black inside, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.

  Oh my god, why is the hallway light broken again! Peng Ling cursed the management in her heart and groped her way up the stairs in the dim light outside. But after taking two steps, a cold voice came from the dark corner next to her: "I wonder if Miss Peng had a good time. You came back so late!"

  The sudden voice frightened Peng Ling so much that she almost screamed. Regardless of whether she was a police officer or not, a girl was a girl after all, and she was afraid of the dark. Because she was too nervous, her head was buzzing, and she didn't hear what the person in the dark said. She quickly reached for the pistol at her waist, deliberately raised her voice to give herself courage, and asked, "Who are you?"

  "Haha!" A figure walked out of the darkness, the faint light outside reflected in his eyes, making his slender pupils seem to emit light: "Miss Peng, you won't forget me so quickly!"

  This time Peng Ling recognized the voice and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She said in dissatisfaction: "Xie Wendong, what are you doing here? You scared me!"

  Xie Wendong walked up to Peng Ling and said to her, "Just call me Wendong. I like you to call me that!"

  Peng Ling was not used to Xie Wendong's sudden intimacy. She took a step back and said, "You...how did you know I live here? Do you want to talk to me about something?!"

  "Nothing!" Xie Wendong took another step forward and held Peng Ling's shoulders to prevent her from escaping. "I want to invite you to have a meal together. It seems like the last time we had a meal together was a long time ago!"

  Peng Ling also wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Xie Wendong to resolve the knot between the two of them, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go home and change my clothes first, come up and sit with me!"

  "Okay!" Xie Wendong followed Peng Ling up the stairs with a sinister smile on his face that was difficult for others to notice.

  After entering Peng Ling's house, Xie Wendong looked around. The house was not big, only about 40 square meters at most. There was a small bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Although it was small, it was very clean and the furnishings in the room were very refined. There was also the unique fragrance of Peng Ling.

  Peng Ling went into the bedroom to change out of her uniform. Xie Wendong wandered around the square hall, occasionally picking up the decorative trinkets around him and looking at them. He said loudly, "I still think you look better in your police uniform!"

  Peng Ling in the inner room smiled as she changed her clothes: "Aren't you afraid when I wear a uniform?"

  "Haha!" Xie Wendong's eyes turned cold. Was Peng Ling mocking him for his gangster background? Humph! He laughed loudly, "I am afraid, but admiration is still appreciation. These are two different things!" Although he said this, he was secretly unhappy in his heart, thinking about his next plan.

  Five minutes later, Peng Ling walked out of the room and said to Xie Wendong embarrassedly, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. What would you like to drink?"

  Xie Wendong wanted to suggest that they go to dinner right now, but Peng Ling, who had changed into evening clothes, caught his eye and he exclaimed in his heart: So beautiful!

  Peng Ling changed into casual clothes, a pair of white leather boots, slightly baggy pants, and a white long-sleeved sweater. Everything was so ordinary, but it looked very fresh on Peng Ling. Xie Wendong was stunned and smiled, "You look even more beautiful in this!"

  Peng Ling felt sweet inside, and her mood improved. She joked, "Little brother, when did you learn how to praise people?"

  Xie Wendong stood up and walked to Peng Ling, patted her on the head and said with a smile: "Look, I'm so much taller than you, do I look like a little brother?"

  Peng Ling pulled the hand off her head, her face slightly red, and said dissatisfiedly: "Actually, I'm older than you! Haha, you are just a freshman! Hehe!" After saying that, Peng Ling couldn't help laughing.

  Xie Wendong had never seen Peng Ling so charming before. He naturally held her hand and his eyes were entangled with Peng Ling's. The two stood there quietly, and their figures seemed to overlap under the light. Xie Wendong was willing to cherish this heartbeat for the rest of his life, but a voice in his heart rang out: Can you really do this?

  After a while, Peng Ling came to her senses, blushing as she pulled her hand back, saying, "I'll go make some coffee!" Then she hurried to the kitchen. Xie Wendong looked at Peng Ling's back as if she was running away, with a trace of confusion and pity in his eyes.

  Xie Wendong sat on the sofa in deep thought, but somehow he thought of the brothers on the university campus. A smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Xiaoling, can I ask you a question?"

  Peng Ling, who was busy in the kitchen, smiled and said, "What do you want to ask? Just tell me!"

  "What do you say that men have something that women don't? Little boys only have a little bit. Women are scared at first, but then they like it more and more?"

  Peng Ling came out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee and looked at Xie Wendong in confusion, "Who taught you this?"

  Xie Wendong took the coffee, took a sip, and said, "Not bad!" He looked up and said, "My college classmates asked me this, but unfortunately I didn't have the answer!"

  Peng Ling smiled and said, "I know! But I won't tell you!"

  "Do I have it?" "Yes!" "What is it?" "Haha, I won't tell you..."
