Chapter 3: Tang Sisi

Wang Xiaojun, filled with confusion and nowhere to express it, said dejectedly: "Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Wang Xiaojun. Since we are both 'living together' now, please refrain from referring to me as 'this person' when you talk about me to others in the future"

Wang Xiaojun blinked and said, "Anyway, we have changed our profession. Do you think a mahjong parlor is more noble than a hotel?"

The young lady asserted confidently, "Isn't it so?"

Then don't blame me! The club swung down towards Hu Tailai's head. As a professional thug, Scarface had plenty of experience in adapting to situations. With this blow, he aimed to draw blood and intimidate everyone.

Wang Xiaojun said in a huff: "Fine! Why not?"

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" The question posed by Hu Tailai is not surprising at all, much like those young heroes who act bravely yet lack worldly experience.

The young woman handed over her ID without saying a word. Wang Xiaojun examined it for a moment and said: "Your name is Tang Sisi? You are from Sichuan, and you are 19 years old this year"

The young lady decisively said, "Then I will stay here."

Is there a problem

This is unreasonable

Yes

How many days will you stay? Wang Xiaojun asked

How about this, from now on you take care of the cooking, and we will consider ourselves even, how does that sound

Two people were talking as they entered the courtyard, only to discover that a young woman had appeared there at some point. This young woman had long hair and big eyes, dressed in fashionable designer clothes. She was dragging a large suitcase and was half leaning, half resting under the eaves. Upon seeing them arrive, she expressed her dissatisfaction, saying: "Why didn't you leave anyone behind when you went out? I want to stay at the inn"

Hu Tailai was taken aback and said, "Do you not know martial arts? My master told me that the Iron Palm Gang is the most formidable and domineering sect in the martial world, which is why he instructed me to come to the Iron Palm Gang to experience it first hand."

Hu Tailai was speechless and said: "You---"

This is the only one.

"My dear, I believe that a beautiful girl like you would not lie."

Hu Tailai casually grabbed the stick and released it forward, the stick's handle pressing against the chest of the scar-faced man. The previously fierce and menacing man knelt on the ground, covering his chest without uttering a word. At that moment, his accomplice's stick had also swung over, but Hu Tailai casually threw a punch into his abdomen. The scar-faced man's accomplice obediently knelt in a row with him, both of them displaying expressions of pain, unable to utter a single word.

Is there a problem? This girl's interrogative form often merely expresses a command, clearly indicative of a young lady from a privileged background who has been somewhat spoiled.

Is your grandfather named Wang Donglai

Wang Xiaojun did not understand for a moment: "Stay at the hotel?"

Hu Tailai whispered: "Does this have anything to do with being beautiful?"

Hu Tailai scratched his head and said, "My name is Hu Tailai. If you are looking for a fight, I am always available. I have been living with him these past few days!" He casually pointed to Wang Xiaojun in the crowd. The scar-faced man and others glared at him in anger.

That must be because your master has a grudge against my grandfather. Wang Xiaojun looked at Hu Tailai again and said, I truly did not expect that there are still people with real skills nowadays. How long have you been practicing

Hu Tailai said: "I started practicing at the age of 7, over 20 years ago"

Ah? Wang Xiaojun was once again left in a state of bewilderment by this young lady

The phrase "stop it" has gradually become less common in modern society. In a time when even elderly women worry about being taken advantage of after a fall, it carries a somewhat rustic and outdated connotation, leaving everyone momentarily taken aback

"Eh? I'm not really... familiar... with him either," Wang Xiaojun probably thought that this statement lacked credibility, and as he spoke, his voice grew quieter. He exclaimed, "Who have I offended?!"

The young woman nodded: "Yes."

That's right! When will your grandfather be back

Uncertain, it may take about ten days, or perhaps a couple of months

Xie Junjun was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "I understand now, tell your boss that he can forget about it!"

Hu Tailaiqi said: "Are you really not a person from the martial world? Have I gone to the wrong place? Are there other Iron Palm gangs nearby?"

Wang Xiaojun was overwhelmed: "Such words need not be repeated!" He suddenly felt that these few people hated him even more than they hated Hu Tailai... This is why, when someone offends you, your first instinct is to inquire about their relatives rather than the person themselves. However... he really is not familiar with Hu Tailai!

Scarface and the others looked at Hu Tailai together. Hu Tailai straightened his back and said: "Since the master does not pursue the matter, you may do as you please. Remember! My name is Hu Tailai, and I live with him!" As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Xiaojun.

Tang Sisi nodded: "It seems that you can read and your arithmetic is quite good"

The scar-faced man glared at him with a painful and fierce expression, ignoring him and instead raising his head to glare at Hu Tailai, hissing, "Dare to leave a name? It's normal for someone in our line of work to get beaten up, but not knowing who the opponent is would be too frustrating!" The implication was that this matter was not over.

Hu Tailai was just about to explain something when Wang Xiaojun, with a smile, pressed a button and said: "It can be."

Scarface and the others staggered away, and the onlookers gradually dispersed. Xie Junjun, preoccupied with her thoughts, merely exchanged a few polite words with Hu Tailai. The "hero" Hu Tailai, however, showed no intense emotions; such actions seemed perfectly natural to him. Seeing that everyone had left, he said to Wang Xiaojun: "Let’s go back"

Hu Tailai said: "Yes, but..."

Unexpectedly, the girl said lightly: "I am not afraid of bad people, just say whether it is possible or not"

At this moment, Hu Tailai could not help but say: "Little sister, you know very well that this is not a proper hotel, aren't you afraid of encountering bad people?"

"What have I done to offend you?" Xie Junjun finally "broke free" and rushed to the front, shouting sharply. One can imagine that his expression was far from pleasant, as the methods employed against him were truly malicious. They had cut all the electrical wires of the devices in the barbershop, an act equivalent to breaking a doctor's stethoscope, soaking a chef's spice box, or puncturing a lady's condom. This is truly an attack on someone's livelihood.

This is truly an attack on someone's livelihood.

The scar-faced man was no exception; he habitually and subconsciously picked up the baseball bat and waved it in front of Hu Tailai's face, jokingly saying: "I can't believe someone actually came out to block the way—let me give you a piece of advice, mind your own business!"

Wang Xiaojun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Hey, can you cook?"

Wang Xiaojun suddenly realized: "Beautiful lady, do you think of us as a boutique inn?"

Xie Junjun let out a bitter laugh and said, "I will talk to you about this matter later, let them go."

Wang Xiaojun had just borrowed the phone and dialed a single digit when he witnessed the entire incident. After a moment of daze, he felt a chill at the back of his neck, and a fine layer of sweat broke out all over his body

The young lady thought for a moment and said: "I can cook, but it depends on my mood. When I don't feel like cooking, no one is allowed to say anything."

Wang Xiaojun nodded and said: "No wonder, after more than 20 years of accumulation, one must be skilled at anything they do. Even if it's just eating sunflower seeds, one would still have to store a warehouse full of shells."

Upon witnessing the destruction caused by the three burly men in the store, Hu Tailai stood at the entrance, facing the first man who charged out. He delivered a punch that rendered the man as helpless as a shrimp, then pulled him outside. He proceeded to deal with the second and third men in the same manner, knocking one down and pulling the next out, employing a skillful technique akin to a mischievous child collecting bird eggs to swiftly incapacitate them. Hu Tailai executed five moves, and within less than thirty seconds, the five burly men were brought to their knees in a neat line on the street. By the time the bewildered onlookers grasped the situation, the battle had already concluded.

Ah? Wang Xiaojun was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the other party would stay for at most two or three days. He certainly did not mind temporarily changing his line of work to earn a few hundred yuan, as he had plenty of rooms available and the conditions and facilities were similar to those of a hotel. However, he did not expect to have a long-term tenant.

Wang Xiaojun, realizing he could not remain uninvolved, squeezed through the crowd with a worried expression and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"Xiao Jun, as members of the martial arts community, we help others in times of trouble. You wouldn't hold it against me, would you?" Hu Tailai said, forcing a smile that was hard to tell whether it was sincere or ingratiating.

The young lady said again: "There is something I must clarify first. I did not bring any money this time, so I can only defer the payment for the accommodation. However, rest assured, I will not default on the payment."

Wang Xiaojun secretly wiped the sweat from the back of his head and said: "Don't think about it, my grandfather is almost 70 this year, can he withstand your antics? Aren't you just looking for trouble?"

Uh... well. Wang Xiaojun also noticed that the young lady seemed to be in a bad mood. "Since you are here to stay at the hotel, I must exercise my rights as the owner—please show me your ID. After all, this is our first meeting, and you could be a fugitive or something. Unlike you, I am afraid of bad people."

I must take charge! Hu Tailai hardly speaks nonsense

Wang Xiaojun now wishes he were the fourth heir of the Iron Head Gang, and then he could crash into Hu Tailai's temple, weakly saying: "First, I am not a martial artist; second, when you introduce our relationship in the future, please do not use the words 'living together.' You might try using terms like 'temporarily residing' or 'borrowing a place to stay.' Had I known this, I would have preferred you to beat me up just to send you away." At this point, Wang Xiaojun finally became a bit excited, saying, "I never expected you really know martial arts; I had never thought about the possibility of one person taking on five." Wang Xiaojun finally became a bit excited, saying, "I never expected you really know martial arts; I had never thought about the possibility of one person taking on five."

Wang Xiaojun was taken aback for a moment and hesitated, saying: "Who are you calling a bad person—you're clearly coming straight at me without even being subtle about it!" There were only three people present, and the one making such a statement clearly excluded themselves first, so the only bad person could only be themselves.

The scar-faced man struggled to rise from the ground and glanced sideways at Xie Junjun, saying: "If you still do not understand who you have offended, then I can only say that you deserve it!"

The young lady rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you the Iron Palm Gang?"
