Chapter 1467 Nothing Happened
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, something terrible has happened!"

On Monday afternoon, Luo Yun rushed to Zhou Xiaobai's house.

Zhou Xiaobai was reading at home: "Why are you in such a hurry? Drink some water and calm down, then talk properly."

"Wang Yan, Wang Yan has been arrested by the police."

"what?"

Zhou Xiaobai immediately threw down the book in her hand and jumped up, "What's going on?"

"Let me have a sip of water to calm down."

"Oh, please tell me quickly."

Luo Yun was speechless at Zhou Xiaobai's double standards. While pouring water, she said, "Do you remember when you first met Wang Yan? Didn't he beat up that Li Yuanchao? I heard that he fractured both of Li Yuanchao's hands."

This Li Yuanchao is quite influential among us kids from the compound, so he's definitely not happy about suffering such a big loss. That's why he waited a week, and last night he led a group to ambush Wang Yan near Fuxingmen.”

"Huh? Is Wang Yan alright?" Zhou Xiaobai's eyes widened, filled with worry.

“Oh, listen to me.” Luo Yun took a sip of water and continued, “Didn’t we see Wang Yan beating people up the other day? He’s incredibly good at fighting. I heard he was really powerful yesterday, and he almost killed Li Yuanchao. Someone had their leg broken, and the orthopedic ward at the hospital was overflowing. I heard that he even used a gun, and someone was shot.”

"Where's Wang Yan? You mean Wang Yan!"

Luo Yun rolled her eyes: "Xiaobai, don't you think about it? If Wang Yan were injured, he would definitely be in the hospital, not the police station. He's probably fine."

Zhou Xiaobai realized that this made sense, and sat back down on the sofa.

Do you think he's in trouble this time?

"It's hard to say." Luo Yun shook her head. "He's caused a lot of trouble. That Li Yuanchao's family is even more powerful than your dad's. Those people whose legs were broken aren't ordinary people either. It's really dangerous. Xiaobai, how come he's so bold?"

"When others bully him, he protects himself. Shouldn't he do that?"

Zhou Xiaobai made a statement, then picked up the phone next to him and started dialing.

"what are you doing?"

"I'll call Secretary Liu and ask him to find out what's going on."

Luo Yun stepped forward to stop her: "You'd better think this through, Xiaobai, before you make this call..."

"I've really taken a liking to Wang Yan, so don't worry about it." Zhou Xiaobai slapped Luo Yun's hand away, called her father's secretary, and explained the situation...

Soon, Zhou Xiaobai received a reply from Secretary Liu, who only said that the impact was significant and that Wang Yan should be fine before hanging up the phone.

"what?"

Upon hearing Zhou Xiaobai's words, Luo Yun exclaimed in surprise, "After such a huge incident, involving so many important people's children, how come Wang Yan is still unharmed?"

Zhou Xiaobai was relieved and said, "Anyway, that's what Secretary Liu said. My dad said that Secretary Liu is reliable and that he can rest assured. He wouldn't lie to me, would he? If he says it's okay, then it's okay."

"You're so lucky!" Luo Yun exclaimed in amazement. "What do you think it was like yesterday? I'm so curious!"

"What's so curious about fighting?"

"I'm not curious about the fight itself, I'm curious about how Wang Yan managed to fight so many people all by himself. You don't know, but I heard that the people surrounding Wang Yan were all carrying knives. And Wang Yan was all alone... wait, wait, what about Li Kuiyong?"

Luo Yun's eyes lit up with an idea. "Xiaobai, why don't we go ask Li Kuiyong? He went back with Wang Yan yesterday, so he must know what happened."

"Let's go! We might as well go and see their house."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't hesitate much before getting up and getting dressed...

Wang Yan had once told Zhou Xiaobai his home address, which he remembered well. The two rode their bicycles to Nanheng Street and searched through the alleys one by one. It didn't take long before they arrived at Wang Yan's house.

"Is this the courtyard?" Luo Yun asked uncertainly.

Zhou Xiaobai leaned closer to look at the sign by the door and nodded, saying, "This is it!"

The two immediately parked their bicycles at the gate and tentatively walked into the yard.

"Li Kuiyong?"

"Li Kuiyong?"

The two greeted each other, turned past the screen wall, stepped into the hanging flower gate, and saw Li Kuiyong running out.

"Why are you here?" Li Kuiyong looked at the two women in surprise, then greeted them, "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun are here."

Then Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun saw Wang Yan walk out of the west wing with a large ladle.

Wang Yan said with a smile, "You're here! You've come at just the right time. I'm cooking. Dayong, go and cut some more meat and buy some vegetables."

"Alright." Li Kuiyong ran out without saying another word.

"Come in, I'll start stewing this dish." With that, Wang Yan turned and went back into the house.

Zhou Xiaobai followed closely inside, looking Wang Yan up and down: "Are you alright?"

Luo Yun said, "Yes, Wang Yan, wasn't it said that you were locked up?"

"I'm the victim! I was attacked with knives and guns, why am I locked up? I was assisting with the investigation and explaining the situation to the police." As he spoke, Wang Yan put scallions, ginger, and garlic into the pot to sauté. Beside him, there was a ribbonfish and a piece of tofu.

Seeing Wang Yan's skillful movements, Zhou Xiaobai asked, "You just got back?"

"It took less than twenty minutes. I didn't eat well at the police station, so I brought back a fish to have a proper meal. It's a good opportunity to taste my cooking skills and show off my ability to manage a household."

"Stop joking around now," Zhou Xiaobai said, giving him a light slap. "What's going on?"

"Don't you know? I was surrounded by the kids of the compound. I fought back and broke Li Yuanchao's two legs and one arm. Another guy shot me and I broke all four of his limbs. Besides those two, I also broke someone else's leg."

Luo Yun exclaimed, "But I heard there were over a hundred people!"

"That's an exaggeration. It's all just hearsay, and in the end, it always becomes something completely different," Wang Yan said with a laugh. "How could I possibly have such an ability?"

"So how exactly were you released? You don't know, Wang Yan? Xiao Bai even called her dad's secretary before, saying you weren't in any serious trouble, but they can't just let you out so quickly, can they?" Wang Yan put the fish in the pot and poured in hot water: "How would an ordinary citizen like me know the specifics? Anyway, I heard this matter caused quite a stir, and a leader said the facts were clear, I was just passive, so they let me come back. They also assured me that no one would use their power to retaliate against me, and told me to behave myself and not cause any more trouble in the future."

"That's it?" Luo Yun asked incredulously.

"Oh, what else can you do? Do you have to shoot me? I'm not like those brawlers from the compound. I'm a good young man. The neighbors all say I'm good, and the furniture factory says I'm skilled, hardworking, and never cause trouble for anyone. I'm diligent and down-to-earth."

"They bully others everywhere for the sake of their damn face, but they won't let me bully them. Besides, I didn't provoke any trouble. They were the ones who looked down on me and acted arrogantly first. I was just defending myself. What did I do wrong?"

Zhou Xiaobai felt a toothache just listening to this; it was rather shameless.

"You're just being hypocritical after getting the benefit."

Wang Yan laughed heartily: "I can't say I got any advantage. In fact, I didn't get anything at all. On the contrary, I fought with them and got exhausted and scared. If I had to say, I just didn't lose. Otherwise, I would either have been hacked to death by Li Yuanchao's men or taken to be shot at. Alright, come inside and sit down. I'll make you some tea."

"Wang Yan, your house is way too small." Luo Yun walked in, looked at the small house, and showed some disdain.

"Oh, that's not bad at all. Dayong's family has eight people, and they only have 14 square meters! I only have a little over 7 square meters for myself, so I'm quite content. At least I have a place to call home."

"Little White has suffered a lot following you."

"I don't care." Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Luo Yun, disgusted by her best friend's harsh words.

"Xiaobai, you're so good." Wang Yan reached out and hugged Zhou Xiaobai as they sat on the edge of the bed. "I knew you were a good wife, not someone like Luo Yun with such low moral standards."

"Hey, hey, hey, you two are being affectionate, don't drag me into it!" Luo Yun glared at him unhappily.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't say anything, clearly acknowledging her relationship with Wang Yan. She said, "How big is a big house? As long as it's big enough, that's fine. The most important thing is to be with the person you love. Besides, if we need a bigger house in the future, we'll definitely get one."

Wang Yan laughed heartily: "Xiaobai, you're so kind and thoughtful."

Luo Yun rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "You have quite a few books? Wow, even a pair of embroidered shoes? You just leave them here like this? Are you crazy?"

"What can we do?" Wang Yan shrugged indifferently. "At worst, they'll just take it away. They might scold me, but it's no big deal. I'll just go to their warehouse and pick out a few more later."

"So you stole it all?"

"Oh, it's alright. There are mountains of books, and it's not like we can burn them all in a day or two. I'll just take a few and that'll be enough for me to read for a while. Actually, no one needs to confiscate them. I'll just tear them up and start a fire after I'm done reading them."

Wang Yan looked at Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Take whatever you like to read when you leave."

"I also have quite a few yellow books, and I've read them all. When you take me back today, I'll bring them to you so you can take a look too."

"Okay." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

The yellow book, more specifically an internal book, not only had a yellow cover but also a gray cover, marked with words such as "for criticism", "for internal reference" or "for internal distribution".

This is the same kind of movie shown in the compound or in the cinemas of some work units. People would watch all kinds of foreign movies critically when they had nothing to do.

"Did you make this cabinet?" Luo Yun pointed to the unfinished cabinet on the ground.

"Isn't that a rhetorical question?" Wang Yan said. "I am the carpenter, this is my home, who else could it be?"

Luo Yun pouted, "It looks just average."

“That’s not finished yet. Look at this big desk of mine, and look at that cabinet over there. I made them all.” Wang Yan raised his head to indicate.

Zhou Xiaobai became interested as well, got up and touched the furniture, looking it over from all angles.

Wang Yan's furniture was all top-notch, showcasing his exceptional craftsmanship. Especially on the outside, it was all carved with various auspicious patterns and mythical beasts, including the large desk, which had a landscape painting carved on the tabletop and was covered with a piece of glass for usability.

Neither of the two women had paid attention to these things before, but now, upon closer inspection, they realized how awesome Wang Yan was.

Zhou Xiaobai asked curiously, "Wang Yan, if you can draw on a table, you must also be able to draw with a brush, right? I think those characters are carved quite well, so your calligraphy must be pretty good too, right?"

"You have a good eye." Wang Yan nodded approvingly, then pointed to the long banner hanging on the wall, "This painting, 'The Great Man Returns to Jinggang Mountain,' was painted by me. Take a look."

So the two women moved closer and couldn't help but marvel.

Of course, the two of them couldn't see anything special. They only knew that the portrait was lifelike, had a powerful presence, and the handwriting was beautiful, but that was all.

But in reality, this is Wang Yan's masterpiece, and also one of his recent works. It was painted in the last century, only a few decades ago.

After so many years of practice, needless to say, his calligraphy skills have reached the level of a master, and even his painting skills, which he is not good at, have long been mastered. Moreover, he has already made his mark far beyond his hometown.

Luo Yun looked Wang Yan up and down as if she had discovered a new continent: "I really didn't know you were so talented. I'm so curious, what else can you do?"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Wang Yan in surprise and echoed, "Tell me, I want to hear it too."

"Carpentry, wood carving, calligraphy and painting, cooking, martial arts, that's quite a lot. I know a bit about everything from clothing, food, housing and transportation to spiritual and cultural matters. I also know a bit about engineering and can repair electrical appliances. Anyway, you just need to get to know me slowly. The longer you spend together, the more you'll know about everything."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, then Li Kuiyong, who had gone out to buy meat, ran back. Wang Yan had cooked four dishes, all in large quantities, and the four of them ate dinner together.

Of course, the recognition of Wang Yan's cooking skills is indispensable, and the evaluation is no different. Everyone says that Wang Yan is able to work as a chef in a state-run restaurant. With this ability, he can go anywhere in the world without fear.

After dinner and a short break for chatting, Wang Yan packed a dozen or so books and sent Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun back home.

By then, it was already dark.

Wang Yan waited outside the compound for Zhou Xiaobai to come back and get the books. After a while, Zhou Xiaobai came out and brought him more than a dozen foreign classics.

"This seems to be the first time we've been alone together, right?"

In the darkness outside the compound, Zhou Xiaobai held Wang Yan, her face pressed against Wang Yan's chest.

"Yeah, that's why I told you I'm not taking Luo Yun with me to the ice skating next week." Wang Yan reached out and cupped Zhou Xiaobai's face. "Shouldn't we give her a kiss right now?"

"Um……"

Zhou Xiaobai responded softly, but her actions were resolute; she took the initiative to kiss him.

In the darkness, the two whispered to each other for a while before finally stopping because Zhou Xiaobai couldn't stand the cold anymore. They reluctantly agreed to meet again next time.

Zhou Xiaobai skipped and hopped happily back home, only to see her parents sitting on the sofa in the living room as soon as she entered...
