After the two walked away, the stall owner went back to his business as if he were just an ordinary vendor.
Only Ming Yi felt the difference from before.
Before he had spoken with Luo Bing, the stall owner had been hostile towards him, but after the conversation, the hostility was gone.
Interesting, perhaps he thought he was a villain following Luo Bing? And after being discovered, the stall owner had intended to attack him?
It was very possible.
However, this person was indeed a bit unusual. He would investigate him thoroughly later; he might have come from the military.
Back at the villa, Xuan'er seemed to have been eagerly waiting for Luo Bing's return. She walked up to him holding the remains of a half-eaten cotton candy and a completely intact, large, white cotton candy. "Brother Bing, for you!"
She said this with a very happy smile on her face; it was a surprise she had prepared.
Luo Bing looked at the cotton candy and blinked. He had already devoured one cotton candy on the way back, and he didn't expect there to be another at home?
"For me?"
Luo Bing looked at the cotton candy, a little surprised. But for a child, this kind of surprise was the easiest way to make him happy. He took the cotton candy and instinctively took a bite.
It tasted the same as the one he had earlier.
"Of course! We saw someone selling them on the way back, Daddy and I, so I thought I'd bring one back for you, Brother Bing. You're finally home. I was worried the cotton candy might not be good anymore by the time you got back." Xuan'er looked relieved. Seeing the surprised look on Luo Bing's face, she smiled sweetly, "Brother, eat!"
Brother Xiao also saw that person?
Ming Yi's mind latched onto this piece of information. He walked towards the kitchen.
"Brother Xiao..."
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw knives flying in Lin Xiao's hands, creating afterimages. Countless ingredients were processed in an instant under his hands.
"You're here? Good, give me a hand."
Lin Xiao called out.
"Uh... sure."
He might as well talk while cooking.
He rolled up his sleeves and started cooking together.
"Brother Xiao, when you came back, did you also see that cotton candy vendor?"
"Yes... you saw him too? Did you find that person a bit strange?" Lin Xiao said while stir-frying, "Looking at the marks on his hands, he should have been in the military before, and stayed there for many years."
"Yes, and he also spotted me, who was following not far behind Luo Bing," Ming Yi said.
To avoid being discovered by Luo Bing, he had hidden himself well, yet he was spotted immediately. It was hard for Ming Yi not to be surprised.
"Good reconnaissance skills... or perhaps you haven't trained in a while and your counter-reconnaissance abilities have declined?" Lin Xiao became curious. "Never mind that, let's first figure out what's going on with this person. Normally, if he could detect your movements, it means he was quite capable in the military. Even if he retired these past few years, he should have a good job waiting for him, not selling cotton candy on the street."
"Yes, I'll contact them right away for an investigation to find out who he is." Ming Yi and Lin Xiao were on the same page. He said this and prepared to put down the cleaver to go to work.
"Don't rush..."
Lin Xiao quickly stopped him. "Let's cook first."
