Chapter 260 - New

"Oh? This is really unexpected. Lu Si and Jonathan Baurne…" Di San grinned after he and Si Shui heard what Yi Bing told them. It was only him and Si Shui are in the hotel since Liu Lin and Feng Er are stay-ins in the Lee family and Xi family.

However, Yi Bing is different since the underworld lets their 'dogs' go wild because their 'dogs' might see something 'interesting' around and then report it to them. In short, it is for them to keep up with the current events and gather more information. Thus, Yi Bing could return to the hotel without being suspected.

Si Shui nodded in agreement. "The data we have is that the three leaders of the three factions of the underworld are having disagreements, thus the ownership of the District 4 is being deliberated by the government, aristocrats, as well as the citizens of the District 4." He said. "However, now, we have found out that Jonathan Baurne, Lao Xie and Lu Si are actually in a harmonious relationship. A smokescreen?" he asked as he looked at Yi Bing and Di San.

"En.." Yi Bing nodded as he picked up his tea and sipped it. "Lao Xie acts like a father to Jonathan Baurne and Lu Si, his foster children." He said.

"This is really surprising." Si Shui said.

But, it seems like Di San has a different concern. He turned to Yi Bing. "Yi Bing. Lu Si has misunderstood your relationship with Jonathan Baurne. You can use this to sow discord between them by making your interactions with Jonathan Baurne ambiguous – ah." He muttered when Yi Bing grabbed his head.

"Don't talk nonsense again." Yi Bing told Di San after he freed the other's head. "I sow discord only between Jonathan Baurne and Jason Baurne. I don't like Jonathan Baurne, but Huo Ling. And Lao Xie has already warned me." His lips suddenly curled up. "If I'd act obedient, then he would have a good impression of me. I not only follow his words, but also root for Jonathan Baurne and Lu Si. I have pure intentions towards them three." He explained.

"Clever!" Si Shui exclaimed as he gave Yi Bing two thumbs up.

"Also, Di San." Yi Bing said and turned to Di San. "Shouldn't I use this opportunity to introduce you to Lao Xie?" he asked and smiled a not really smile to Di San.

Di San felt goosebumps appeared on his skin. "Yes, Yi Bing-dada!" he said and knelt before Yi Bing. "Yi Bing-dada is the best! Daren, you're the best! Let me call you father!" he said and kowtowed to Yi Bing.

Yi Bing snorted. "I don't have a stupid son like you!" he said and rolled his eyes.

Si Shui whose heart felt tired. "…" why is everyone around me stupid? It's infectious, you know? He thought and sighed as he picked up a biscuit and ate it.

Yi Bing saw Si Shui's deadpan face and felt like he lost his face. He kicked Di San and he coughed. His expression returned serious. "I'll introduce you to Lao Xie in three days. During these three days, gather all the useful information you could find about the Xi family." He told Di San.

"Yes!" Di San answered as he sat on the carpet. "What identity will you make me assume?" he asked.

Suddenly, Yi Bing's lips curled up. Di San felt a chill on his spine and his back became cold while Si Shui silently lit candles for Di San in his heart.

"A suicidal small-time businessman." Yi Bing answered.

Di San was about to sigh in relief when he heard Yi Bing spoke again.

"A suicidal, small-time, homosexual businessman." Yi Bing corrected himself.

Di San. "…" fck! Does that mean I have to act attracted to the men around me?! Seeing Yi Bing's expression, he got his answer.

Yes.

The next day, Xi family residence. The butler of the Xi family has a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the young and pretty woman in front of him wearing a sweet but shy smile. "I – I'm really sorry. Qingqing-jiejie told me last night that the Xi family is looking for a maid. I just arrived from the province and I am looking for a job, so… so…" she said and bit her lower lip. Her peach blossom eyes highlighted her beauty even more as they watered because of nervousness and shame. Her voice also sounded melodious.

The butler's heart was moved and took pity to the young lass. "Missy, we are indeed hiring for a maid." He said. The Qingqing she was referring to is the maid that was fired last night by the madam of the residence. Not only Qingqing resented them, but she even sent them her replacement. The butler couldn't help but sigh in pity to Qingqing. The master of the residence ruined her. He could only wish for her in his heart, and feel happy for her that she had finally escaped this quagmire called the 'Xi Residence'. "You are hired." He sighed as he looked at the new maid with pity in his eyes. She would definitely be fancied by the master of the residence, and like her predecessor, be ruined by him using the madam of the residence.

"Thank you!" the new maid exclaimed. She conscientiously followed the butler while the other maids behind her are shaking their head.

"A pretty one. Even prettier than Qingqing." One of them said.

"What is Qingqing thinking? Sending this new one here… and she's very young!" one can't help but exclaim.

Qingqing is not only a maid, but also the bedwarmer of the master of the residence. However, no one wanted to be like her, since they feared, not only the madam, but also the master of the residence. He is a beast who would lay his hands even on young women that hasn't come of age yet. He likes to pluck the flowers while they are still a bud.

They are lucky they looked average, or else even the master of the residence would fancy them. Qingqing despaired when she was fancied, and every day she wanted to escape. Fortunately, her opportunity finally arrived and she got her freedom last night. However, it became like hell to them, the servants, the next day since the master of the residence was in a foul mood after he lost his plaything.

Qingqing arrived in the residence while she was still sixteen, such a sweet age and she was eaten by the master of the residence. Now, she was twenty-eight, and she have become more matured and sexier. She has been serving the bed of the master of the residence for twelve years. They are very happy she finally had her freedom. However, they felt sad since someone would definitely replace her in her position.

And the unlucky one is the one who arrived earlier, who was even prettier, tender, and looked sweeter than Qingqing when Qingqing arrived in the residence. The new maid and bedwarmer looked pure. Such a pity and regretful that she would be destroyed by the master of the residence later.

"Shall we tell her the rules in the residence?" someone suggested.

"Yes. That's the only way we can help her." They agreed.

Feng Er, who had just arrived in Qingqing's room that is now vacant, secretly smiled. She could hear the maids' conversation, and she felt more excited as she listened to them. However, she had to control her excitement and act nervous as it is her first day here. "Such a nice room!" she exclaimed when she saw a very neat and complete room.

The butler suddenly looked awkward. He knew that Qingqing is the master's bedwarmer, and this new maid will replace Qingqing, so he brought the new maid to Qingqing's room. "Yes. The master of the residence is very generous to us, his servants." He said and almost bit his tongue since he knew it was a big, fat lie. "From now on, you will stay here. The other servants will tell you the rules in the residence, but I will tell you the rule you have to keep in your mind." He said. "When you see the madam of the residence, immediately avoid her and hide. She has an ill temper. You won't escape unscathed when she catches you. Understood?" he asked.

Feng Er blinked and smartly nodded. "Yes!" she answered and smiled brightly.

The butler sighed in relief. Fortunately, the new maid isn't an idiot. Just na?ve. Well, the master of the residence likes na?ve ones the most. Thinking this, the butler coldly sweated and hurriedly left.

Feng Er watched the butler left and she grinned. She pulled her luggage inside the room and closed the door. "Well, well… let's see how devious this master of the residence is. And – " her eyes narrowed in mirth. " – let's see how jealous would the madam be when she sees another one who looked pretty." She chuckled before she fixed her things and then waited for the other servants to arrive and tell her the rules.

Not long later and she heard a knock.
