What's going on? Are these guys all calling me today? Bai Ye looked at the unfamiliar number and answered the phone again.
"Ah Bai, I didn't expect you to be doing so well now; you're even on TV." A familiar voice came from the phone. Upon hearing it, Bai Ye almost instinctively furrowed his brow.
"Uncle Li, what do you want?" Bai Ye asked in return.
"Nothing much, just checking up on you. After all, you're on TV now; you can't have any blemishes, hehehe." The voice on the other end laughed casually, but the threat in his words made Bai Ye feel sick.
The other party's intentions were not good, and Bai Ye couldn't be bothered to argue. He asked directly, "What do you want?"
"I saw online that many groups are preparing to endorse you. The prices, tsk tsk tsk, it's true that legitimate business is faster at making money."
Uncle Li expressed his purpose with a sigh: "As for what I want, it's simple. I only need Thirty Million USD, and then everything you've done before can be covered up forever."
"Thirty million? And USD." As Bai Ye spoke, killing intent had already crept into his heart. He declined, "Where can I get that much money?"
"As long as you take more jobs, money will come rolling in for you. I'll give you three days to think about it. If you're still unwilling, Bai Ye, you wouldn't want the entire America to know about your glorious past, would you?"
The call ended with a busy signal, the other person hanging up first.
Three days to consider? Bai Ye looked up at the moon, a chunk missing from it. For these guys courting death, two days will be enough.
The next moment, Bai Ye started moving again, heading directly towards Police Chief George's house.
The journey was uneventful. Bai Ye no longer concealed himself, quickening his pace and running like the wind. Soon, he arrived at the address George had provided.
If there was any benefit to Bai Ye being exposed, it was that he no longer had to carefully hide his physical abilities.
After all, everyone now knew he had single-handedly taken down a gang of armed robbers, so it was reasonable for him to run faster and be stronger.
Standing at the door, Bai Ye gently pressed the doorbell. After a ding-dong sound, the door quickly opened, revealing a pretty, blonde-haired girl.
"Hello, we meet again," Bai Ye greeted Gwen, who was surprised to see him.
"You... how did you get to my house?" Gwen looked at Bai Ye in surprise, instinctively tidying her golden hair. Then, she put her hands behind her back, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"Is this your house? George invited me over for dinner," Bai Ye pretended not to know. In reality, anyone with a basic understanding of the Marvel storyline would know Gwen had a police chief father. So, he wasn't surprised she opened the door.
"My dad invited you to dinner?" Gwen suddenly remembered seeing Bai Ye involved in the robbery this morning. She worriedly asked, "I saw the news this morning. Are you hurt?"
"No. But are we going to keep talking at the door?" Bai Ye looked inside. Only then did Gwen realize she was so caught up in the conversation that she'd forgotten their surroundings. She pulled Bai Ye's arm, leading him inside. Then, she whispered, "Dad's in the room. He's a bit grumpy. Be nice to him."
Bai Ye felt Gwen's warm breath on his earlobe as she spoke, making him feel a little itchy.
Suddenly, there was a subtle sense of déjà vu. This feels too much like a boyfriend visiting his girlfriend's house for the first time, he thought. It's a bit strange.
Thinking this, Bai Ye subconsciously put some distance between himself and Gwen because he could already hear footsteps approaching from the kitchen.
To avoid the police chief's excessive attention, it was better to maintain a little distance.
The next moment, a woman in her forties, wearing a floral apron, walked out of the kitchen.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Bai Ye's face, and her tone softened. "You must be Bai Ye. Welcome to my home for dinner. I'm George's wife. You can call me Aunt Helen. Dinner will be ready soon, you..."
Halfway through, she noticed her daughter standing beside Bai Ye. Gwen was holding his hand intimately, and her face was flushed under Helen's gaze.
"What's this?" Helen opened her mouth in surprise. At this moment, George also walked out of the room with a serious expression and saw the scene before him, his mind blank.
"Let me introduce you. This is Bai Ye, also an alumnus of Midtown High School. We've met a few times before, but I didn't expect Dad to invite Bai Ye over for dinner this time." Gwen said with a smile, holding Bai Ye's right hand.
He's an alumnus, and they've met a few times...and they're already holding hands? Helen had so many things to say but didn't know where to start, especially when she saw Bai Ye's bewildered expression and her daughter's shy face. It was clear that her daughter was the one pursuing him, and she didn't know what to think.
George, who was even more shocked, wanted to say something, but then he remembered that he was the one who invited the other person over, and he had a favor to ask. After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Let's eat first."
Bai Ye: ...
He didn't know what to say anymore. Had things taken a wrong turn? Considering all the information so far, Bai Ye even had a somewhat absurd guess: George had invited him over, wasn't he trying to set him up with his daughter?
Thinking of this, Bai Ye's gaze towards George changed. He hadn't expected the old man to be so open-minded.
With an indescribable feeling of weirdness, Bai Ye sat down at the table, in the chair next to him, as Gwen pulled him along.
At this moment, Stacy's young children, who had been waiting eagerly, looked at Bai Ye as he sat down, their eyes sparkling. "Brother, you're so handsome! Are you sister's boyfriend?"
"No!" Before Bai Ye could speak, George interrupted, "He's a guest Dad invited over. He's here to talk about things. Don't bother him."
"Oh..." The children lowered their heads in disappointment. In their eyes, if such a handsome brother were their sister's boyfriend, they'd have lots of chances to play with him in the future.
And George had just finished admonishing his children when he turned and saw his daughter intimately huddled with Bai Ye, introducing the delicious dishes on the table, and quietly asking if Bai Ye had any dietary restrictions.
Looking at Bai Ye, who was clearly uncomfortable under his daughter's attention, George didn't know what to say.
