Chapter 673: Pie drops from the sky

Xiao Luo gave Zhang Dashan a call after putting down the phone. Zhang Dashan told him that Su Xiaobei’s biological father had taken her away. And her biological father was Bai Yuquan, from the Bai family in Jingcheng.

“Bai family? Bai Yuquan?”

Xiao Luo was quite shocked to hear this. How did Xiaobei end up getting involved with Jingcheng’s Bai family so suddenly?

“Bai Yuquan is the young master of the Bai family. That’s how his subordinate introduced him when he came over to Xiahai to take Xiaobei away. His grandfather is the chief of the Military Joint Staff Department, and his father is the commander of the North China Military Area. They’re like a’ big-boss’ level kinda family in Hua Nation. Goddess Su went over to Jingcheng so that she could take court action against Bai Yuquan to gain custody of Xiaobei.” Zhang Dashan told Xiao Luo everything he knew.

The more he listened, the more Xiao Luo furrowed his eyebrows. Su Li went over to Jingcheng to attend a court case against the Bai family. Could she win?

No matter how you looked at it, a mere woman could not win against the powerful Bai family.

“What a mess!” Xiao Luo remarked.

“Old Xiao, what did you go overseas for?” Zhang Dashan asked.

“I’ll tell you later when I have the time. I’m hanging up!”

Xiao Luo hung up the phone immediately. He lifted his head and looked to the North, then took a deep breath. Using his “Gone with the Snow,” a qigong technique, he leaped through the bustling city like a godly hero and headed straight for Jingcheng.

Utilizing all the power he had, his speed reached its limit, and each step covered about five to six hundred meters. It only took a moment for him to leave Xiahai.

Looking at a plane flying across the night sky, Xiao Luo was a little annoyed. If he had given her a call before returning, it would’ve been much easier for him to take President Bama’s private plane and head directly to Jingcheng. The time needed to arrive here would not have made that much of a difference, but then he wouldn’t have had to use up his internal force, and he could have discussed life and ideals with President Bama.

Instead, he bounded and flew all the way here!

The ground beneath him flashed by quickly as he soared through the air and covered ten kilometers in just the blink of an eye.

On his way to Jingcheng, Xiao Luo’s mind was filled with numerous thoughts. The actions of the paparazzi, Zhou Wei, led to Xiao Luo killing the commander of the Xiahai military region, Zhuo Yuze, who was the son-in-law of the Bai family. And that’s how his feud with the family began. The woman with the codename, Rose, also belonged to the Bai family. She would be around the same age as Bai Yuquan and was possibly Bai Yuquan’s older or younger sister.

Bai Yuquan was Su Xiaobei’s biological father, and this complicated relationship was giving Xiao Luo a sudden headache. He had initially planned to go over to the Bai family to teach them a lesson, but now that Su Xiaobei had suddenly become a part of the Bai family, he could no longer do such a terrible thing to the Bai family.

Of course, the people from the Bai family would be wise not to provoke him first.

“How is Bai Yuquan from the Bai family the biological father of that little girl?”

As Xiao Luo thought about that question, he found it hard to comprehend, but then arrived at a conclusion. Knowing the personality of Su Li’s mother over the past couple of years when Bai Yuquan was in full swing at Xiahai, if Su’s mum knew that Bai Yuquan was from the Bai family, it was not beyond her to use various schemes for her elder daughter to establish a relationship with Bai Yuquan. After all, she even resorted to drugging Su Li in an attempt to marry her off into the Yang family.

As he thought about that, he pitied Su Li’s elder sister. To think that she had a mother like this!

About forty to fifty minutes later, Xiao Luo arrived at a city about two to three hundred kilometers away from Jingcheng.

Using qigong over such a long distance took a toll on Xiao Luo’s internal force. It was a little hard for even him to carry on, and he decided to stop for a brief rest. He chose a place in the city to eat and restore his energy.

Although strenuous activities were not encouraged after a meal, Xiao Luo continued his dash toward Jingcheng. But he had to reduce his speed significantly.

As he flew past a mountain behind a university, he heard a boy confessing his love to a girl. The girl said that if a pie dropped from the sky, she’d accept him. Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment and dropped the pie he had in his hands down to the young couple. Then, like a breeze, he silently whizzed past them from above.

The boy and the girl were equally shocked when the pie dropped between them.

The bashful boy said, “Xin, look, a pie dropped from the sky! That means you have to promise to be my girlfriend.”

“I…”

The girl didn’t know how to react and instinctively raised her head to look around. All she saw was the night sky and the sprawling lawn around her. Where did this pie come from? It couldn’t possibly have dropped from the sky, right? But as she didn’t have any feelings for this boy, she shouted, “What kind of cheap trick is this? Have you been watching a bunch of short clips online? I do not know how you made this pie drop from the sky, but I’ll never be your girlfriend, so you better just give it up!”

After saying that, she turned around and left in a huff.

Disappointed and feeling lost, the boy picked up the pie from the ground and ate it out of dejection.

Xiao Luo looked at the both of them and realized that they had failed to become a couple. He shook his hands, raised his eyebrows, then channeled all his energy to reach Jingcheng in the shortest time possible.

He finally arrived at Jingcheng half an hour later. It was a distance of more than a thousand kilometers. His breathing was a little labored, and his body was soaked in sweat.

Compared to Xiahai, Jingcheng was much more prosperous. Neon lights flashed incessantly everywhere, and even the trees lining both sides of their streets were lit brightly in various colors. The soft light illuminated the entire Jingcheng, and it appeared like a city that never slept.

Although it was already late at night, pedestrians were everywhere. It was a bustling city.

Xiao Luo quickly merged with the crowd, and after checking the address that Su Li had sent over, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to that location.

It was Hillworth hotel. It looked very technology-inspired from the outside—it presented a stylish ambiance that was graceful and luxurious.

“Sir, please show us your identification card or the hotel accommodation card.” A hotel attendant stopped him at the main entrance with a polite smile.

“I didn’t bring it along with me,” Xiao Luo said.

“Then I’m sorry, Sir, we need to verify your identity before we can let you in.”

The hotel attendant said with a polite smile again. You need to make a booking for Hillworth hotel, and for the safety of their customers, it’s our duty to ensure that we verify the identity of every single person before allowing them to enter.

“Oh, is that so?”

With a playful smile on his face, Xiao Luo stared into the attendant’s eyes.

The hotel attendant’s pupils dilated, and suddenly, there was a quick change in his attitude.

“I’m a hotel guest staying in room 1305, you’ve already checked my identity, can you let me in now?” Xiao Luo said to him.

The hotel attendant nodded his head with no expression on his face.

Xiao Luo straightened his collar and calmly walked in.

Only when he got into the elevator did the hotel attendant snap out of the hypnosis. After recalling what happened earlier on, it felt like he had just let in an unknown person, but in his head, he was convinced that he had already verified that person’s identity and that there was no problem, though he couldn’t remember that person’s name at all.

“What… What is going on here?”

The hotel attendant scratched his head. It felt like he just awoke from a catnap and was a little absent-minded.
