Bai Zhengyang immediately became anxious when he heard this. His master was a person who would just endure any minor illness or pain on his own and would not easily disturb him unless necessary. This time he took the initiative to call him, and he was afraid that he was seriously injured.

After saying something to Team Heqing, Bai Zhengyang quickly took a taxi and left.

Just a few minutes after he left, a group of people who looked tough rushed into the restaurant and headed straight for the private room.

Bai Zhengyang's master, Li Huaixin, is an old policeman in the police station. He is still single and lives in an old residential area. Although the facilities are a bit old, it is lively and the neighbors all know him well.

The taxi stopped outside the community. Bai Zhengyang first bought some medicinal wine and plasters at a nearby pharmacy, and then bought some cooked food on the roadside before carrying the things in.

Someone in the neighborhood who was taking a walk after dinner recognized him and immediately called out, "Hey, Xiaobai, long time no see, are you here to see Lao Li?"

Bai Zhengyang nodded familiarly, "Auntie Wang, come out for a walk!"

The woman who was called Auntie Wang immediately smiled like a flower and came forward, "Hey, Xiaobai, are you dating? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? My man's sister has a daughter who is very quiet and virtuous. She just graduated from college this year. She is a perfect match for you!"

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and wanted to show Bai Zhengyang the photos.

Bai Zhengyang couldn't resist Aunt Wang's enthusiasm and immediately declined, "Aunt Wang, thank you for your kindness, but I already have a partner."

The older generation’s thinking is both traditional and extremely open-minded.

Aunt Wang thought it was okay to have a date, and continued to recommend her relatives, "That's fine, you're all young people, add each other and chat, maybe you'll be a good match!"

While looking at the photo of the girl on the screen, Bai Zhengyang's mind was full of Su Ziyu's face.

When he thought about the other party being jealous, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "Auntie Wang, my boyfriend is a jealous person, I dare not make him angry. My master is still waiting, I won't chat with you, I'll go up first."

After getting rid of Aunt Wang, Bai Zhengyang walked into the door of a certain building as if he was familiar with the place, strode up the three flights of stairs, and knocked on the iron door, saying, "Master, open the door. I am Zhengyang."

It didn't take long before the security door opened.

Li Huaixin held his lower back with one hand and saw a smile on his wrinkled face.

"Xiaobai, come in quickly! I originally wanted to take advantage of these two days to do a thorough cleaning of the house, but my old bones just don't work anymore. I sprained my waist before I could do anything."

Li Huaixin's home is still decorated in the old style from many years ago. There is an incandescent lamp on in the living room, the sound of a TV can be faintly heard from the bedroom, and there is a smell of decay in the air.

Bai Zhengyang showed a worried look on his face. He helped the man back to the bedroom, "Master, please lie down on the bed first. I will apply some medicinal wine and ointment on you. If it still hurts in two days, I will take you to the hospital for an X-ray!"

Li Huaixin waved his hand, obviously not wanting to waste Bai Zhengyang's time, and endured the pain and went to bed, "It's not that exaggerated, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Bai Zhengyang applied medicated wine and ointment on him.

After finishing everything, the master and apprentice sat in the house and ate and talked. Although Li Huaixin was a policeman, he always paid attention to this apprentice who was like a son to him. "I heard that the recent happy wine case was solved by you guys!"

Bai Zhengyang picked out some things that could be said and briefly summarized the matter.

Although Li Huaixin was happy for them after hearing this, he was more worried. "Xiaobai, I know the mission is important, but your safety is the first priority! Don't be blindly impulsive!"

This is a commonplace statement. Every time Bai Zhengyang has time to visit Li Huaixin, he always hears him repeating the same thing over and over again, "Master, don't worry! I can take care of myself."

Li Huaixin sighed secretly. Ever since the death of Mr. and Mrs. Bai, he had been watching Bai Zhengyang grow up. His personality was exactly the same as that of Mr. Bai back then.

They are willing to do anything for the mission and leave no way out for themselves.

But some things cannot be achieved with passion alone. The power of darkness in S City is far more powerful than that of light. Now he has offended the Wei Group. His road ahead will be difficult.

"You, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Xiaoxiao. By the way, how is Xiaoxiao doing recently? When can I, her master, drink at your wedding?"

Facing Li Huaixin's teasing, Bai Zhengyang felt helpless and amused. He did not dare to tell others that he had a boyfriend, but just shirked the responsibility, "Master, what are you talking about? Xiaoxiao and I are brother and sister."

Li Huaixin was not happy. "Who was it that hugged my thighs when he was a child, cried and asked me not to send his fiancée away? Now you are turning your back on me."

Bai Zhengyang looked a little embarrassed, and he touched his nose and said, "That's all old news. Xiaoxiao and I have already talked it over. From now on, we will call each other brother and sister, and marriage has nothing to do with each other."

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Li Huaixin frowned, "Xiaoxiao is a good girl, and she has liked you for so many years. If you miss her, you will never meet a girl who knows you so well again."

At the end, he added, "You little brat, are you going to follow your master's example and stay single for the rest of your life? Then I'll have to educate you properly on behalf of your parents."

"Master!" Bai Zhengyang was really helpless, "I just want to do my job well now, I don't have the mood to love."

After he finished speaking, in order to prevent Li Huaixin from repeating the same old things, he stood up and took the initiative to clean the house. After some decluttering, he put all the things that needed to be thrown away at the door, and would help throw them away when he was ready to leave.

Li Huaixin had a sore waist, so he sat on the sofa without moving, directing his actions verbally and nagging from time to time.

Suddenly, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up and a music ringtone sounded.

When Bai Zhengyang heard the song he had specially set up, he instantly realized that it was Su Ziyu calling him. He immediately put down the work in his hands and hurried over to answer the phone.

When Li Huaixin picked it up and handed it to him, his eyes saw the note on it - Su Ziyu. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes without any expression.

How did Bai Zhengyang get in touch with the young leader of the Black Gold Gang?

And from Xiaobai's tone, it seemed that he was very familiar with the other party. Li Huaixin suddenly had a bad premonition, and his heart became heavier.

After he hung up the phone, Li Huaixin pretended to ask casually, "Xiaobai, who is this?"

Su Ziyu's identity was quite sensitive, and Bai Zhengyang didn't want his master to think too much, so he could only vaguely say, "Just a friend."

The more perfunctory he was, the more it seemed like there was something going on. But before Li Huaixin could ask, Bai Zhengyang had already put on his shoes at the door and was picking up the trash, ready to leave.

"Master, you should rest early today. If you feel uncomfortable later, please contact me."
