Elder brother's garrison

Page 1711

The men hurriedly caught the batons, watching Xiaobai and his group warily, only slightly relaxing their guard when their gaze fell on Xiaobai.

"This young lady is very reasonable." The men praised Xiaobai, then pointed in the direction of the community exit, "Since this young lady has said so, we will not pursue your violent behavior just now. You and your unlicensed tour guide can leave now."

"I'm sorry for troubling you earlier," Xiaobai said with a smile to the men. "We'll leave here as soon as possible."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome." The men nodded in agreement; they had a good impression of Xiaobai.

"Oh, right, before we leave," Xiaobai casually raised a finger under the men's relaxed gazes, and asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, I didn't quite hear what happened just now. What was the reason for our conflict?"

"Huh?" The men were taken aback. Looking at Xiaobai's innocent appearance, they subconsciously replied, "Isn't it because of the unlicensed tour guide?"

Chapter 2341 Then let's get our revenge!

"Oh... I see. So you think we're tourists who came because of your reputation." Xiao Bai smiled slightly after hearing the men's words.

"What do you mean? You're not tourists?" The men were stunned.

Looking into Xiaobai's smiling eyes, for some reason, the men felt a sense of foreboding.

“Whether we’re tourists or not can’t be determined just by saying so,” Xiao Bai said, pulling a card from her clothes and showing it to the men. “This is a resident card for this community. Can it prove our identity?”

"Owner's card???" The men's eyes widened. "No, impossible, we've never seen you before..."

"This is my first time here too, but that doesn't mean I'm not a resident here, right?" Xiaobai smiled and handed over the card. "If you're the security guards here, you should have ways to verify the authenticity of this card, right?"

The men stood there dumbfounded for a long time before shakily accepting Xiaobai's property ownership card.

"No, that's impossible. I've memorized the list of homeowners here..."

The man in the middle of the security team muttered to himself, then glanced at his companion behind him.

"You verify it!"

"Yes!"

The security guard, who had been given the order, carefully took out a small machine from behind him and gently swiped Xiaobai's card through it.

drop!

A machine notification sound rang out, and the man responsible for swiping the card looked down at the feedback on the machine, his face instantly turning pale.

"Team, captain."

"What's wrong!"

"This card is... a resident card for Building 102! It's genuine!"

"What...?!" The man turned his head in shock to look at Xiaobai. "You, you're the owner of the attic in building 102... the one where the person who filmed the deep-sea video lives??"

"That's it."

"But why did you bring an unlicensed guide..."

"This is my first time here too. Is it strange to ask someone to show me the way?"

“No…no surprise…no surprise…” The man tremblingly took the card from his companion. After pondering for a while, he nervously swallowed and asked cautiously, “But I remember that the owner of Building 102 is a Mr. Mu…he just bought the house recently, and his secretary’s phone number is still here. If possible, could you please let me call and confirm?”

"Okay, whatever." Xiaobai nodded without hesitation.

When the man saw how relaxed and calm Xiaobai looked, his heart sank. Clinging to his last hope, he took out his phone, picked out the phone number for Building 102 from his contacts, and dialed it in front of Xiaobai.

To ensure fairness, the man even pressed the speakerphone button in front of Xiaobai.

beep - beep - beep -

After three ringtones, the call was finally connected.

"Hello? Who is this?" A sweet, youthful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Mu Yu?" the man asked nervously, swallowing hard.

"Yes! I am Mr. Mu Yu's personal secretary. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Here's the thing, someone has come to us with a resident card for Building 102, claiming that she is the actual resident of Building 102. Do you have any leads on this?"

"Owner? Who is that?" came a puzzled voice from the other end of the phone.

"Isn't that right? Could it be... that the owner's card is lost?" The man's voice calmed down, and he looked at Xiaobai with a hint of wariness.

"Who told you that?"

"There were three girls, and the person who said it was wearing a mask and had white hair..."

"Wow!" Before the man could finish speaking, a voice suddenly realized, "Oh right, I remember now, she's the homeowner!"

"Huh?" The man's mouth dropped open.

"Oh dear, it's a long story, but anyway, she's the real owner now... Um, speaking of which, I happen to be free this afternoon, so I'll go over there to complete the formalities and transfer the real owner's status." The voice on the other end of the phone paused mid-sentence, then raised it a couple of octaves to ask, "Ms. Lu! Is that alright?"

"Okay, thank you, Z31," Xiaobai said with a smile to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Hehe, you're welcome." A silly laugh came from the other end of the phone.

The man holding the phone stared blankly, mouth agape, as Xiaobai chatted and laughed with the person on the other end.

Things have progressed to the point where the map is so clear that he has no choice but to believe it or not.

Even if the white hair was fake before, it's real now.

broken……

A thought flashed through the man's mind, and he immediately felt a chill run through his limbs, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Since these three people aren't tourists but actual residents, it's perfectly natural for them to come into the community. As a security guard, I have no reason to stop them. So, given that, the fact that my group just stopped their tour guide... doesn't that mean...

"Ms. Lu..." After the phone call ended, the man held up the homeowner's card with trembling hands, handing it back to Xiaobai with a forced smile. "This, this is your homeowner's card, please keep it safe..."

"Mm." Xiaobai took the owner's card, put it back in her clothes, and then smiled slightly at the man.

Xiao Bai's smile was calm and serene, but for some reason, it seemed like an invisible threat to the man, making him afraid.

"Miss Lu... just now... the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple... you... you are a magnanimous person, please don't take it to heart, I... I apologize to you." The man said, his scalp tingling.

"No need to be so polite. You were just following the rules, so I understand. There's no need to apologize," Xiaobai waved her hand.

"Huh? Really?" The man looked up, surprised and delighted at Xiaobai.

“Yes, really, you don’t need to.” Xiaobai shook her head, then pointed to Yu Gan, “You just need to apologize to her.”

"Uh..." The man's face immediately turned awkward.

"What, you don't want to?" Xiaobai asked, staring intently at the man.

"No, no, nothing like that..." The man chuckled hastily, then looked at Yu Gan, his gaze complicated as he slowly bowed to her, his voice a mixture of humiliation and regret, "Miss Yu Gan, just now... we were very rude... I'm truly sorry, please forgive us. Please forgive us this time.

"Where are they?" Xiaobai pointed to the others behind the man.

"Let's apologize together! Together!" The other men bowed deeply to Yu Gan, their voices filled with sorrow, "Miss Yu Gan, we're so sorry!!!"

"That's more like it," Xiaobai said with satisfaction.

Yu Gan was completely dumbfounded. She covered her mouth and looked at the man apologizing to her. The man's humble demeanor was completely different from his arrogant attitude just now.

What just happened?

who am I?

where am I?

Yu Gan couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation, and just stared blankly at Xiao Bai with her big eyes blinking.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly at Yu Gan.

They all had the same calm and serene smiles, but when Yu Gan saw them, she felt an unexpected sense of reliability and warmth.

"Let's go." Xiaobai patted Yu Gan on the shoulder and walked towards the door.

"Hmph, Yu Gan, let's go!" Yoke grabbed Yu Gan's hand, stuck out his tongue at the men, and left without looking back.

Baltimore followed the crowd.

The four quickly disappeared from the security guards' sight.

Only after Xiaobai and his companions had completely left did the men dare to raise their heads. They stared blankly in the direction Xiaobai had gone, then looked at each other, each seeing a deep sense of confusion in the other's eyes.

……

"Miss Bai! You did a fantastic job! I knew you wouldn't let me down!" After leaving the neighborhood, York laughed heartily as he hugged Xiao Bai, rubbing his snow-white face against hers. "You really gave us a good thrashing!"

"It's just standard procedure," Xiaobai said with a smile, letting York rub against his face. "Luckily, Fletcher and the others gave me the villa's owner's card before I left, saying it would be convenient for me to come back next time. I didn't expect to use it so soon."

"So... Miss Bai knows the people in that villa?" Yu Gan, who was standing to the side, clenched her hands tightly and looked ashamed as she listened to Xiao Bai's words. "Um... I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble."

"It's alright, it's not troublesome at all." Xiaobai smiled at Yu Gan. "After all, you're our tour guide now, a temporary employee we hire. How can we, as the bosses, turn a blind eye when our own employees are being bullied?"

“But, but what they said isn’t wrong either… I did bring you here…” Yu Gan lowered her head.

“Even if you have a problem, Miss Yu Gan, they shouldn’t have treated you that way.” Xiao Bai shook her head, then added, “Besides, Miss Yu Gan, do you really think the neighborhood’s current state is the fault of your unlicensed tour guides?”

"Eh? Isn't it?"

“While you do bring some tourists here, it’s obvious that the unruly tourists in the neighborhood have nothing to do with your unlicensed tour guides. Most of them are actually TV crews from various places in disguise. Even if you unlicensed tour guides didn’t bring people here, the neighborhood would still be like this.” Xiaobai held up a finger to Yu Gan. “I believe the security guards understand this too. The reason they surrounded you just now was probably just because they were angry with you.”

"anger?"

"Yeah, they can't manage all the tourists in the community. They've probably been scolded by their superiors many times for their incompetence. They're holding back their anger and just want to vent it, so they can only bully you unlicensed tour guides."

"So that's how it is..." Yu Gan covered her mouth.

“So, Miss Yu Gan, you don’t need to feel guilty. You really have no responsibility for this at all.” Xiao Bai patted Yu Gan on the shoulder.

"Ah... thank you, thank you..."

Yu Gan nodded, his shoulders twitching almost imperceptibly.

Xiao Bai looked thoughtfully at Yu Gan's shoulder and thought for a while.

Chapter 2342 Lovely Shoulders

"Admiral, what's wrong?" Baltimore noticed Xiaobai's pause, took two steps closer to her, and asked.

“…It’s nothing.” Xiaobai turned her gaze away from Yu Gan and smiled at Baltimore. “Hmm…Speaking of which, I’m a little hungry. Didn’t someone say they wanted to go for dim sum earlier?”

"Ah, right! Dim sum!" York exclaimed, raising his arm immediately. "It's me! It's me! I want to go!"

"Now that we've finished what we needed to do, let's go have some dim sum. Miss Yu Gan, do you have any recommendations?"

"Ah, there's a teahouse nearby, you can go there for tea..."

"Miss Yu Gan is here too, let's go together, it's on me."

“…Hmm.” Yu Gan rubbed his shoulder and nodded.

Peicheng is nestled between mountains and water, and most of the people in the city make a living by fishing. The fishermen are busy from dawn till dusk and have no time to drink tea and eat snacks. However, since it is located near the "rich area", teahouses, which are service buildings full of leisure and elegance, are still necessary, even though they are far from the people's lives.

Xiao Bai and his three companions arrived at the teahouse and, led by a waiter, sat down at a window seat.

As soon as York sat down, before the waiter even brought her tea, she eagerly picked up the menu and called out to him.

"Waiter! Waiter! Over here! I want four servings of shrimp dumplings, one serving of boat congee, and also spare ribs with black bean sauce, and chicken feet..."

York and Baltimore studied the menu across the table, while Xiaobai turned to look at Yu Gan beside him.

"Miss Yu Gan, what would you like to eat? Please don't be shy."

"I, I'm fine with anything, just give me a bowl of plain noodles." Yu Gan lowered her head, shifted her body somewhat awkwardly, and then said to Xiao Bai.

The price of vegetarian noodles is cheaper than a basket of shrimp dumplings.

"Miss Yu Gan also likes noodles?"

"Ah, um..." Yu Gan nodded.

"Then I'll have a bowl too." Little White held up two fingers in York's direction. "York, please add two more bowls of noodles for us."

"Roger that!"

"And another thing," Xiaobai put down her hand and continued to ask York, "York, do you have any medical supplies like bandages or iodine on you?"

"Huh? Bandages?" York and Baltimore were taken aback. They looked up at Little White, their eyes full of confusion. "Miss, what do you need bandages for?"

Xiao Bai didn't answer, but just turned her head to look at Yu Gan beside her.

Upon hearing that Xiaobai needed bandages and iodine, Yu Gan's shoulders trembled as if a secret had been revealed.

Baltimore followed Xiaobai's gaze and saw Yu Gan. After lingering on Yu Gan for a few seconds, he suddenly realized what was going on.

“Miss, I’ll go buy it.” Baltimore stood up from her seat. “I saw a pharmacy on my way here. I’ll go now and be right back.”
