Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Chapter 327 Blank Background

"So they went to all this trouble just to take this opportunity to make a comeback?" Xiaobai asked.

"Maybe, but it just benefits your club instead." Mr. Mai's tone became more relaxed as he spoke.

"I didn't expect this, Boss Mai Xiaobai. I didn't expect your club to be so powerful. With today's escort level, even if you were to pick someone from our Longteng Club, it would be difficult to successfully escort them, let alone defeat them head-on."

"Where did you find these two precious gems? Han Che and Qi Yuzhe, people I'd never even heard of before, and they're already at this level right off the bat," Mai's father teased Xiaobai as he leaned closer.

"If you're free, could I borrow it to give my people some training? The cost is negotiable."

At this point, Xiaobai snorted and crossed her arms. "No way! You, as her father, are trying to steal her away from your own daughter?"

"What are you talking about? We're all family, what's wrong with me lending him my services? I heard that Fengming tried to poach him once? What was his name again, Han Che?" Mai Qiyao's eyes narrowed slightly as he said this, his gaze flickering, but his smile remained unchanged.

"They don't want to go. My employees are very loyal to the club, so don't even think about it!" Xiao Bai felt a little proud when he recalled the scene of Han Che rejecting the headhunter from Fengming Club.

"Oh?" Mai Qiyao's voice trailed off, and the curve of his lips became subtle. "Is he highly loyal to the club, or..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaningful pause and the mischievous smile on his face revealed the rest of the meaning.

"Huh?" Xiaobai understood his father's implication. "What did you say, Dad?" Xiaobai's face turned red visibly.

Seeing Xiaobai's reaction, Mai's father's mischievous smile instantly vanished. "How far have things progressed?"

"What? What do you mean, what stage? He's just an ordinary employee!" Xiaobai denied it outright.

Mr. Mai stared into Xiaobai's eyes, which she dared not meet, and sighed heavily. "You ran into your Uncle Li at your club before? Wasn't this Han Che there too?"

"Huh?" The topic changed so quickly that Xiaobai didn't keep up for a moment. "Yes, it was that time when Han Che dealt with Said."

"Your Uncle Li told me later that the kid was no ordinary person," said Mr. Mai.

"Xiaobai, you've grown up. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be too strict about these things, but this Han Che... bring him to see me sometime. I need to see him in person."

"Dad! I told you it's not like that!" Xiaobai said anxiously, trying her best to explain.

Mr. Mai waved his hand, "Alright, alright, if it's not him, it's not him. Whether it is or not, I want to see him. After all, with his current record, he's quite a figure. Don't worry, he won't poach your people. You should have some confidence in yourself."

He glanced at the table clock. "Any other questions?"

"That's all! I'm going to rest!" Xiaobai said sullenly, her face flushed. "I'm going to sleep on the third floor. You should go keep my mom company."

"Hmm?" Mr. Mai asked, puzzled.

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door. As she placed her hand on the doorknob, she turned back and added, "You haven't been back for so long, shouldn't you spend some time with your wife?! The upstairs is soundproof! I'm going up! Humph!"

She uttered the last word, opened the door, and walked out.

The study door slammed shut.

Mr. Mai shook his head helplessly, then muttered to himself, "Han Che? Han Che..."

"Looks, figure, ability—she's good in every way!"

"But how can someone have such a clean background? Experienced soldiers always have a past, yet their personal files are completely blank."

"I've never heard of this before, never been to any dangerous areas, never served in the military, and yet you have this kind of ability just by joining the 78 Club?"

"It's unbelievable..." He would never dare tell his wife about these things, because if he did, it would be even more impossible for his daughter to continue running the club.

Everything could only be discussed when he saw Han Che again. Mai Qiyao walked out of the study and then headed towards the bedroom on the second floor.

"Honey, I'm here!"

……

Han Che and Qi Yuzhe returned to the prison a little late because there were far more men in black on the street than usual.

Fortunately, the city has a vibrant nightlife, which prevents their evening outings from being too conspicuous.

As soon as Han Che came out of the evacuation point, a prison guard was already standing guard at the door. When he saw Han Che come out, he immediately stood up straight and saluted.

"Your Excellency Warden, you're back!"

Han Che put on his white mask and nodded. "Okay, notify Shi Ding. Come to my office, I need to see him."

"Yes, sir!" The prison guard saluted again, then took out his walkie-talkie and went to the side to make a call.

Han Che started walking towards the office. When he got close to the office, he realized that Raven was still following behind him.

"Huh? How did you get on us?" He stopped, turned around, and looked at the raven. "Aren't you going back to your side to rest?"

Raven grinned, a smile that looked rather smug: "What's wrong? Missing my good friend Shi Ding? Is that a problem?"

He deliberately dragged out the words "good friend," his tone full of that kind of frivolous air.

Han Che frowned slightly beneath his mask, a look of disdain on his face: "You're itching for a beating from a shield for three days?"

"Hehehe!" The raven chuckled a few times, swinging its arms and swaggering forward. "We need to exchange feelings, you know? You don't understand human relationships!"

Han Che ignored him and followed slowly behind with his hands behind his back.

The two walked around the corner one after the other. The office door was already open, and two people were standing in the doorway. The two were of similar build, stocky, and wearing dark gray uniforms. The muscles on their arms made the sleeves bulge.

Both of them stood ramrod straight, and when they saw Han Che walking over, they both raised their hands in salute.

"Your Excellency the Warden!" Shi Dingli stood at attention and saluted. Unlike before, Shi Lei was also with him this time.

"Your Excellency the Warden!" Shi Lei stood up straight and saluted.

The two men were not carrying any weapons or equipment, but they were still neatly dressed, indicating that they had already rested. Upon hearing the call from the prison guard on duty, they quickly changed their clothes and rushed over.

Han Che had just nodded and hadn't even had a chance to speak when the guy next to him, swinging his arms, came over and leaned in.

Raven stood almost face-to-face with Shi Ding, with less than a fist's width between them. He tilted his head and looked up into Shi Ding's eyes: "Hey, hey, hey! I was walking in front, why didn't you say hello? That's a bit biased!"

Shi Ding looked at him with his eyes lowered, his face expressionless, not even bothering to linger his gaze on him for a second longer.

He sidestepped around the crow and took a step in Han Che's direction.

Qi Yuzhe stood there, his smiling face freezing for a moment, then he turned to look at Shi Ding's tall back and let out a dissatisfied hum.

Shi Lei stood to the side watching this scene, his lips twitching slightly, but he managed to suppress his smile.
