Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"What? Ah Lang isn't coming back? Why? Did we do something wrong? Or did we do something inappropriate that made him angry? No matter what we did wrong, or what upset him, he can bring it up, and we can change it! Hao Pingchuan, Gao Cheng, you two tell me, can we change it?"

"It can be changed! It definitely can be changed!"

"Brother Lang, where are you? We can't do without you!"

In the world of Beijing, at the guard battalion's garrison, as soon as Jian Cai mentioned that Xi Menlang was not planning to continue to participate deeply in the rest of the journey, Hao Pingchuan, Gao Cheng, and Lao Luo all immediately became anxious.

And they immediately looked for the reasons within themselves and identified their shortcomings.

Hao Pingchuan went even further, shouting things like "We can't do without Ximen Lang!" in a way that was utterly disgusting.

Bai Ling felt disgusted and got goosebumps.

They quickly stopped Hao Pingchuan's disgusting and outrageous actions, and also stopped Lao Luo from overthinking things.

After doing all this, Bai Ling said helplessly.

"Hey guys, please focus on the important points. He only said he wouldn't be deeply involved in the rest of the trip, not that he's never coming back. Do you guys have to be so worried?"

"Just not getting deeply involved in the rest of the journey? That won't do either! There are countless cities that are desperately waiting for us, hoping that we can help them out, just like we helped Tianjin and Huludao, and leave them some industry so that it can benefit countless families."

"It's no exaggeration to say that the locals have been eagerly anticipating this opportunity, just waiting for our favor. And then you tell me that the main performer for the grand show is gone! How can this be? How can this grand show continue? It can't go on."

Indeed, the absence of the main characters who carried the show has had a significant impact.

But to say that she couldn't sing at all...
"That can't be that bad, can it? You've forgotten, I can do it too! I've received Ah Lang's true teachings, and Ah Lang himself has certified it! Whether it's welcoming and sending off goods or introducing high-tech industries, I can decide it all with a single word!"

"In short, I'm incredibly strong right now! Let me tell you this: right now, absolutely right now, I can do almost anything I want to do, if I want to!"

As he spoke, he saw that Lao Luo was about to start rambling on again, seemingly wanting to say something more.

He quickly held out his palm to stop Lao Luo's rambling.

Bai Ling spoke first.

"I know what you're trying to say, like 'suddenly rich from poverty,' 'getting arrogant,' and 'getting cocky.' I admit, after learning Ah Lang's true teachings, I did get a little cocky. But I'm not kidding you about this!"

"And do you even know what? I can take on an entire guard battalion by myself! All that high technology and advanced technology is useless against me! I don't even need to lift a finger. With just a thought, I can throw your entire battalion into lava, or throw them a thousand meters into the air!"

"Do you believe it or not? If I wanted to, you wouldn't even understand how you died. Do you believe it or not?"

This wasn't a joke Bai Ling was making with Lao Luo and the others; it was a fact that Bai Ling could easily do.

After all, she could allocate massive amounts of resources between the two realms in the blink of an eye, all with just a thought.

Getting rid of a few people, or even a mere guard battalion, quietly is a piece of cake.

Even if this guard battalion is the strongest battalion that combines the strengths of two worlds!
That's the same; the result won't change at all!

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Ximen Lang would definitely not agree, she would have wanted to try and see if she could destroy a country by herself!
That's right, she wants to take on not only the Japanese devils, but also the American devils, all by herself!
Let's see if it's their luck that's so tough, or if our methods are just better!
It was precisely because of this that his strength was so formidable that even she, a seasoned and resilient woman, struggled to control him at times. Therefore, Bai Ling's admiration for Ximen Lang grew ever stronger.

That's right, it's admiration.

As for the reason, it's quite simple.

This power is so great that even she can't control herself!

But what about Ximen Lang?
He remained completely unfazed, still laughing and joking, showing no sign of being blinded by this seemingly omnipotent power.

Is this something an ordinary person can do?

"Even if it were you, Lao Luo, could you resist?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Luo immediately frowned and pondered for a moment.

He found it to be true; even he couldn't remain unmoved by such overwhelming power.

Sighed.

Luo had no choice but to accept the outcome.

Then, naturally, the topic shifted to what Ximen Lang had been busy with, and
"Bai Ling, tell me the truth, has A Lang come clean with you?"

When these two topics were brought up, Bai Ling fell silent.

After a long while, Bai Ling finally replied seriously.

"Although he didn't say it outright, it's practically the same as saying it outright. Let me put it this way: during the time he was away, he directly told me and Yi-yi to discuss things together. And for those things that even we couldn't decide, he directly told us to call out the people behind us, sit down together and discuss it, and if all else failed, we could call him and he would come and coordinate."

"He's already put it this way, Lao Luo, tell me, what's the difference between this and just saying it outright?"

What other differences are there?
What difference is there?!
"Isn't this just a direct and explicit statement?!"

Luo Yonghao immediately said this.

Bai Ling waved her hand.

“Hey, it’s still different. Although we’ve said most of what we needed to say, and said almost everything that needed to be said, we still can’t bring this up in the open unless Ah Lang makes it clear.”

“Especially when it comes to matters involving high-level officials, we can do whatever we want in private. You can do whatever you want, that's fine. But we just can't let A-Lang know, we can't tell A-Lang. In short, he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't want to be involved in this kind of thing. Do you understand what I'm saying?”

Since Bai Ling had put it this way, even if it was just for the sake of keeping the book alive, Lao Luo could only obediently agree.
"I understand, I understand everything."

As for where Ah Lang went and what he was busy with...
"He's quite tight-lipped; he didn't utter a single word to us from beginning to end. But I suspect it's definitely related to this strange and wonderful cheat ability!" (End of Chapter)
