Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 26 My Own Cabbage Has Learned to Steal Pigs

"What's going on? Are all these guys calling me at once today?" Bai Ye looked at the unfamiliar number and answered it again.

"Hey Bai, I didn't expect you to be doing so well now, even on TV." A familiar voice came from the phone. Upon hearing this voice, Bai Ye almost instinctively frowned.

"Uncle Li, is there something you need?" Bai Ye asked in return.

"It's nothing, just checking in on you. After all, you're on TV now, so you can't have any blemishes, hehehe." The voice on the other end laughed very casually, but the threatening tone made Bai Ye want to vomit.

The other party seemed hostile, so Bai Ye didn't bother with pleasantries and asked directly, "What do you want?"

"I saw online that many companies are preparing to endorse you, and the prices they're offering... wow, it seems that legitimate business is indeed the fastest way to make money."

Uncle Li sighed and revealed his purpose: "As for what I want, it's very simple. I only need thirty million US dollars, and all the things you've done in the past can be covered up forever."

"Thirty million? In US dollars." As Bai Ye spoke, murderous intent crept into his heart, but he refused, saying, "Where would I get that much money?"

"As long as you take more orders, the money will roll in for you. I'll give you three days to think it over. If you're not willing by then, Ah Bai, you don't want the whole of America to know about your glorious past, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye's phone went dead, the other party hanging up first.

"Three days to consider?" Bai Ye looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. "Two days will be enough for these suicidal fools."

The next moment, Bai Ye started running again, heading straight for Chief George's house.

The journey was uneventful. Bai Ye no longer concealed his intentions, quickened his pace, and ran like the wind, arriving at the address George had given him in no time.

If there's any benefit to Bai Ye being exposed, it's that he no longer needs to carefully conceal his physical abilities.

After all, everyone now knows that he single-handedly destroyed the armed robber gang, so it's reasonable that he runs faster and is stronger.

Standing at the door, Bai Ye gently rang the doorbell. After a short while, the door was opened, and a pretty girl with long blonde hair appeared in front of Bai Ye.

"Hello, it's nice to see you again." Bai Ye greeted the surprised Gwen gently.

"You... how did you end up in my house?" Gwen looked at Bai Ye in surprise, subconsciously tidying her blonde hair, then put her hands behind her back, her face flushed.

"Is this your home? Sheriff George invited me here for dinner." Bai Ye pretended not to know. In fact, anyone who knows a little about the Marvel storyline would know that Gwen has a chief of police as her father, so Bai Ye was not surprised that Gwen came to open the door.

"My dad invited you to our house for dinner." Gwen suddenly remembered seeing what Bai Ye had done about the robbery during the day and asked worriedly, "I saw the news this morning, are you alright?"

"No, but are we going to keep talking at the door like this?" Bai Ye looked inside, and Gwen realized that she had been so engrossed in chatting that she had forgotten about her surroundings. She took Bai Ye's arm and led him into the house, then whispered, "Dad is in the room. He has a bad temper, so please be patient with him."

As Bai Ye listened to Gwen's voice, her warm breath tickled his earlobe.

Suddenly, I have a strange sense of déjà vu. This scene looks too much like a boyfriend visiting his girlfriend's house for the first time. It feels a bit odd.

Thinking this, Bai Ye subconsciously distanced himself from Gwen, because he could hear footsteps approaching from the kitchen.

To avoid excessive attention from this bureau chief, it's best to keep a proper 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 as she said, "You must be Bai Ye. Welcome to my home for dinner. I'm George's wife; you can call me Aunt Helen. The food will be ready soon..."

Halfway through her speech, she noticed that her daughter, who was standing next to Bai Ye, was now holding hands intimately with Bai Ye, and her face was flushed red under her gaze.

"What's going on here?" Helen opened her mouth in surprise. At this moment, George also walked out of the room with a serious expression. When he saw the scene in front of him, his brain went 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 to our house for dinner this time," Gwen said with a smile, holding Bai Ye's right hand.

"They're alumni, and they've met a few times... and then they started holding hands?" Helen had a lot of complaints but didn't know where to begin, especially seeing Bai Ye's bewildered expression and her daughter's shy look. Clearly, her daughter was the one pursuing him, and she didn't know what to think.

George, who was even more agitated, wanted to say something, but then he remembered that he was the one who invited the other person over and that he needed their help, so he managed to stammer out, "Let's eat first."

white night:……

He was at a loss for words. Was something amiss? Based on all the current intelligence, Bai Ye even came to a somewhat absurd conclusion: George had invited him over not to act as a matchmaker and arrange a marriage for his daughter…

Thinking of this, Bai Ye's gaze towards George changed somewhat; she hadn't expected this old man to be so open-minded.

With an indescribable sense of unease, Bai Ye, pulled by Gwen, silently sat down at the table in the chair closest to him.

At this moment, the young children in Stacy's family, who had been eagerly waiting, looked at Bai Ye as he took his seat, their eyes sparkling, and asked, "Brother, look so good! Are you my sister's boyfriend?"

"No!" Before Bai Ye could speak, George spoke up first: "He's a guest invited by Dad, he's here to discuss something, don't disturb him."

"Oh..." The children lowered their heads in disappointment. In their minds, if this handsome older brother were their older sister's boyfriend, they would have many opportunities to play with him in the future.

George had just finished admonishing his child when he turned around and saw his daughter intimately huddled with Bai Ye, introducing the delicious dishes on the table and whispering to Bai Ye if she had any dietary restrictions.

Seeing Bai Ye looking uncomfortable under his daughter's harassment, George was speechless.

My own jade cabbage is so proactively starting to rub against the pig...
