Xiong Bufan ran all the way home. After these few days of Xiong Bufan's discipline, 002 had completely adapted to the role of a stay-at-home dad. When he saw Xiong Bufan come back, he said, "I've already served the rice. You can move the pot and eat now."

"it is good."

002 brought her own bowl to the dining table, while Xiong Bufan brought a pot. The bowl was too small, and there was no wooden bucket for holding rice at home, so Xiong Bufan could only eat from the pot.

After eating half of it, Xiong Bufan took the pastry out of his pocket. It was a little flattened, but he wrapped it in layers of oil paper. "Here, have some."

002 looked up at Xiong Bufan and said, "Thank you, Bufan, but have you ever considered leaving the capital and returning to our hometown?"

We are free now, no longer subject to others. We can return to the place where we lived as children; it's like going home.

Kongkong, fearing that Xiong Bufan might impulsively agree, quickly reminded him, "Bufan, Minister, Minister, we still need to protect the Minister."

Xiong Bufan wiped his mouth and replied, "I'm not going back. I want to stay in the capital. If you want to leave, then leave."

002 pushed the pastries in front of Xiong Bufan, "Why don't you come back with me? We can go hunting in the mountains and sell our little house in the capital. That would be enough for us to live a life of comfort."

"There are people here whom I need to protect."

002 was completely devastated. "Who else in the capital is there besides me?"

Xiong Bufan calmly said, "A minister, someone useful to the court."

"What does the affairs of the imperial court have to do with us? If the imperial court were to act, why would we be serving as secret guards?" 002 grew angrier and angrier, and finally stormed off into the courtyard.

Xiong Bufan opened the wrapper of the pastry. 002 heard the sound and ran in from outside, picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Mine." After finishing, he ran back outside.

002 seems to have some kind of problem; he's just spoiled. Xiong Bufan ate his meal, ignoring him. After finishing his meal, Xiong Bufan went to bed to sleep.

The midday sun was strong, and 002 went back inside. Xiong Bufan was fast asleep on the bed.

002 made a lot of noise while tidying up the table. He had clearly planned to go back to Luobogou with Xiong Bufan and live a good life. They were both bodyguards and had hidden injuries in their early years. They couldn't have children. It was just the two of them. They would work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and go hunting in the mountains in winter. They would live happily. Why would Xiong Bufan reject him?

They grew up together, trained together, and gritted their teeth and persevered together when the Gu worms flared up... A peaceful life was exactly what they had always been pursuing.

Xiong Bufan was finally woken up. Seeing 002 tidying up while looking aggrieved, he raised his arm but didn't do anything. He turned around and left the house.

002 snorted coldly as he watched Xiong Bufan leave, and continued tidying up the house. He was unhappy; whether Xiong Bufan came back or not was up to him.

Xiong Bufan strolled to the market, intending to secretly buy some meat to eat, not to give to 002, but to satisfy his own craving before going back.

A young man was running frantically through the market with two other people, looking very anxious, and he brushed past Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan felt a slight pang in his heart. Looking back, the man was running too fast, and Xiong Bufan could only see his back. Countless scenes from idol dramas flashed through Xiong Bufan's mind, but he rubbed his chest and said to Kongkong, "The original owner seems to have a heart condition, because my chest hurt just now."

Kongkong was speechless. The person who ran over was Minister Su Beichen, the current Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who was in charge of various cases in the capital. Cui Zuoqian thought Su Beichen was in the way, so he tried to get rid of him several times, but he didn't kill him. Instead, he threw the original owner of the body over to use a honey trap.

Xiong Bufan's chest pain was probably due to lingering emotions from the original owner. After all, he had suffered so much torment in his previous life and still survived, so how could he possibly have heart disease?

Su Beichen had already walked away, but Xiong Bufan was still standing there, neither buying braised meat nor anything else to eat.

Kongkong: "Bufan, do you want to chase after them? Go help them?"

Did he pay?

Kongkong scratched his head. "I don't know, I guess they won't give it to me."

Xiong Bufan said matter-of-factly, "Then I won't go. I'm not going to work for him for nothing."

"Ok."

Xiong Bufan went to a braised meat shop and bought a pig leg to gnaw on. Although the meat didn't have much flavor, it was all-natural and chewy. In the last few years of the last century, pork was soft and tender, which did not meet Xiong Bufan's expectations at all. This made Xiong Bufan annoyed whenever he saw pork. In the end, Xiaoying raised two pigs with grain to eat during the New Year.

Su Beichen is investigating a notorious thief who stole many imperial gifts and other important items from the homes of high-ranking officials. The Emperor was furious when he learned of this and said that he would spare no effort to bring the thief to justice, as the capital would not tolerate such a notorious thief running rampant.

The Emperor gave them only a month. Su Beichen visited the homes of the ministers whose homes had been robbed in search of clues. He finally managed to track them down to an inn in the market, but unfortunately, the thief escaped again when he wasn't careful.

Su Beichen had no choice but to lead his men in pursuit. Half the day had already passed, and they hadn't found the treasure or caught the man. Now that they had finally spotted him, they absolutely couldn't let him go.

The figure disappeared into an alley. Su Beichen stopped and instructed his two men, "Go and look around. If you find him, let me know. We absolutely cannot let him go again."

One of his men went into the alley, while the other continued searching forward. Su Beichen stayed behind to look for clues; the notorious thief must be nearby.

Xiong Bufan was still strolling on the street when Kongkong suddenly screamed, "Bufan, hurry and save Su Beichen! He's going to be beaten to death!"

"it is good."

Seeing that there were only three people, the notorious bandit emerged from the shadows and quietly pulled out a knife to attack Su Beichen. Caught off guard, Su Beichen was slashed on the arm. "I advise you to surrender quickly, and you might get a lighter sentence. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Beichen's arm wound was deep, and blood dripped onto the ground. The notorious bandit laughed smugly, "You lackey of the imperial court, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or I'll let my knife get its fill of blood today."

Su Beichen drew his sword and charged at the notorious bandit. His two henchmen returned as well. After exchanging glances, the three surrounded the bandit.

The three men fought the notorious bandits to a standstill, neither gaining much of an advantage. The bandits were all self-taught, and their strange moves were impossible for the three men to defend against.

Xiong Bufan finally arrived at the scene after a long journey, but he was hiding under a tree watching the excitement with great interest. He even took out his unfinished pig leg and asked, "Kongkong, who do you think will win?"

"I don't know, but I do know it will be very difficult for the three of them to catch this person."

Xiong Bufan took a bite of the pig's leg and said, "That's stupid. Knowing you can't win, why don't you bring more people?"

As they were talking, Su Beichen was stabbed in the arm again, and now blood was gushing from his arm and leg. His two men were in no better shape, also with wounds on their bodies.

"They're really bad; they struggle even to fight," Xiong Bufan commented aptly.

Kongkong: "Bufan, aren't you going to help Su Beichen?"

“No, I never interfere in other people’s duels. He’s not in any danger right now, so he doesn’t need my help.”

The notorious bandit had beaten all three of them to the point where they couldn't even get up. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw Xiong Bufan watching the commotion under a tree. He picked up his knife and walked towards Xiong Bufan.

This person saw his true face and also saw himself beating up an official of the imperial court. This person cannot be allowed to live. It's just a pity that this person is a young girl who saw something she shouldn't have at such a young age. But she can't blame anyone else; she can only blame her bad luck.

The notorious thief's eyes hardened, and he even imagined Xiong Bufan crying her eyes out. Su Beichen stared intently at the thief and shouted at Xiong Bufan with all his might, "Girl, run!"

Xiong Bufan held the pig leg in his hand, still staring blankly at them, as if he had been scared out of his wits.

The notorious thief revealed a cruel smile, thinking to himself: Goodbye, fool. May you never see what you shouldn't see in your next life. Then he brought his knife down with all his might.

The knife missed its mark, and before the notorious bandit could react, a pig's leg came crashing down, knocking him unconscious. Xiong Bufan had even held back his strength; if he had used his full power, the bandit's head would have been smashed open, and he wouldn't even know where it had flown off to.
