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

In the VIP room, Chairman Li slowly let out a sigh of relief, then picked up his phone, dialed a number, and heard a dial tone.

The call was quickly connected, and a man's voice came from the other end.

"Old Li? What's up? Weren't you in a meeting? Why are you calling me now?"

Chairman Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Your precious daughter is becoming more and more capable."

"What's wrong? Did I steal your business?" The voice on the other end of the phone was teasing.

"She recruited a new teammate." Chairman Li paused for a moment, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"You recruited a new teammate? And then what? Hey Lao Li, do you have anything to say? Stop talking nonsense." The voice on the other end of the phone was impatient.

Chairman Li's face darkened. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and continued, "Her new teammate killed Said today at Dam Zero."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. "Said?...Really?"

"It's true. I saw Said's crossbow with my own eyes. And according to your precious daughter, he didn't just kill him this time; he won once before."

Chairman Li paused, then tapped his fingers twice on the armrest. "Old Bai, I feel something's off about this young man. It's not that I doubt him, it's just that if what Xiao Bai said is true, he's a bit too strong."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Then the man's voice rang out, tinged with amusement. "Being too strong is a problem? You're jealous, aren't you? You're not trying to poach someone from my daughter, are you? I advise you not to even think about it!"

President Li was momentarily speechless. His mouth gaped, his eyes widened, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. How could this old man speak so infuriatingly? "A man! A male team member! Aren't you afraid he'll steal your cabbage?!"

"You don't know what happened just now. That kid was staring at your little Bai the whole time, making your daughter decide on every little thing. He just joined the club and he's already asking my company for benefits. Your daughter is so touched... she's about to offer herself to me!"

Chairman Li gritted his teeth and said a long string of words, deliberately exaggerating. After he finished speaking, he grinned, moved the receiver away, and waited for the angry reaction from the other end of the phone.

Hmph, now you should be angry!

The expected furious roar didn't come. After a while, a cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "That's great! This young man is capable, ambitious, and listens to Xiaobai. Tsk tsk tsk, isn't that wonderful? Xiaobai has good taste! I just wonder what he looks like? Let him come over to our house sometime. You should come too, Lao Li, help me make your judgment!"

"?"

Chairman Li was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His mouth was agape, and his jaw nearly dropped.

What is this guy talking about? Has he lost his mind? A young man of unknown origin is approaching his daughter, and instead of being nervous, he's laughing? And he's even asking him to vet her?

"No...didn't you understand...?" Chairman Li wanted to explain further.

"Alright, alright, I know you're happy. I'm busy, so I'll hang up now. Xiaobai, could you please keep an eye on things? Bye."

"Beep beep beep..."

"?"

Chairman Li felt his blood pressure was a bit high; his temples were throbbing. His ears were burning, and his hand gripping the microphone felt a little weak.

What's wrong with this world? Young girls look down on me, secretaries say I'm naive, and this old man is acting like he's taken the wrong medicine!

"Damn it!" Chairman Li slammed down the phone and stormed out of the VIP room, heading towards his office.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai's father's smiling face instantly fell. He picked up the phone again and dialed. The call was quickly answered, and a young, respectful voice answered.

"Hey! Check! Is there anyone named Han Che in Club 78?"

"Yes, it's Club 78! Investigate it right now!" Xiaobai's father hissed.

Just as I was about to hang up, I thought for a moment, adjusted my tone, and asked again, "Has anyone fought Saeed today?"

A voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yes, we just received official notification that someone successfully defeated Said in today's operation, it seems to be the 78 Club you mentioned."

Xiao Bai's father frowned even more deeply, and tapped his fingers twice on the table. "...Alright, investigate as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai's father sat back in his office chair, sighed, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "Han Che... I've never heard of this name before. How could he beat Said?"

……

"That uncle surnamed Li is so shameless. He said he wouldn't lay a hand on me, but he still tried to snatch the things I had taken out," Qiu Ying said angrily.

Unlike when they arrived, Qiu Ying volunteered to sit in the back, letting Han Che sit in the front passenger seat to keep an eye on the road for Xiao Bai. Her reason was that she wanted to take a nap, but she kept talking after getting in the car and didn't sleep at all.

"Hehe, if it's a red item we've never seen before, I'm afraid Chairman Li wouldn't have the authority to let us take it. Otherwise, the pressure from above would be too much for him, the chairman of the Casual Players Association, to bear," Han Che explained with a smile, indicating his understanding. He glanced at Qiu Ying in the rearview mirror, then at Xiao Bai.

Qiu Ying glanced at Xiao Bai's profile as he drove, thinking to herself, "This kid's quite the smooth talker." After all, Chairman Li was Xiao Bai's elder, and Xiao Bai had expressed his trust. If there were any problems, it would be a slap in Xiao Bai's face.

Han Che's words made Xiao Bai feel a little better. Qiu Ying opened her mouth, but stopped talking about it and looked out the window.

The sun was about to set, casting a golden glow that kept the car windows out of the cold wind, making the interior warm and cozy.

"No need to dwell on it, the result is good, isn't it!" Han Che laughed. "Said won, the publicity was done, and the money was made."

The car stopped at the traffic light.

Xiao Bai took a moment to look at Han Che. He looked out the passenger window, and the setting sun slanted in, casting a warm golden light on his face.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and his smile was relaxed and natural, as if he didn't care about anything.

He always seemed so composed, whether in dangerous areas or in the player world, nothing seemed to faze him.

Xiao Bai had a feeling that Han Che had a distant sense of boundaries, as if everything was irrelevant to him.

Without realizing it, I found myself lost in thought.

"Hey! Stop looking! The light's green! Xiaobai!" Qiuying yelled. "How about I drive and you two sit in the back so you can look all you want!"

Xiaobai turned around abruptly, stepped on the gas, and started the engine. Her cheeks were slightly flushed in the sunset, though not very noticeable. She tucked her hair behind her ear and stared intently at the road ahead, her gaze unwavering.

"No..." Xiaobai muttered softly, then seemed to feel her face getting a little hot, so she opened the car window a little, letting the cold air rush into the car.

Han Che turned around and chuckled, "What are your plans for tonight, Sister Bai? I didn't go to dinner last time you invited me, how about making up for it this time?"

Han Che looked at Xiao Bai's profile. The setting sun cast a warm pink hue on her neck, her fair skin glowing with a soft pink hue. Her hair fell over her shoulders, a wisp of hair fluttering in the wind. His gaze lingered for a moment, then shifted away.

"Great! We haven't had a meal together yet. Let's celebrate Boss Han officially joining the 78 Club." Qiu Ying clapped her hands in agreement.
