Chapter 141 The Fool and the Blind

As dusk settled and the city lights began to twinkle, the cotton mill was filled with the rich aroma of fried sauce. My recipe, Yuan Yuan's skill—pot after pot of noodles were being cooked, and the tables were filled with the sounds of people intently slurping them up. The temperature difference between inside and outside caused a layer of fog to form on the glass.

It's hard to imagine that this is a typical day in the life of a secret service organization.

After finishing my meal, I was happily picking my teeth when a call came in from a number that read "Café." It was the number of another branch of the Sixth Division, "Heavy Industry Café," which Hao Hao now runs most of the time.

"Brother Feng, come quick! Someone's causing trouble at the coffee shop."

I raised an eyebrow and said in the nonchalant tone of a big shot, "Then let's fight our way out." We're backed by an organization now, and with Hao Hao's skills, who can cause any trouble?
"I can't call... Anyway, hurry up and come." Hao Hao hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

I stared blankly for a moment, then said to everyone at the table, "Hao Hao said someone is causing trouble where he is."

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows and said in unison, "Then let's fight them out!"

Sixth Master, with his hands behind his back, said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Fengzi, why don't you go and take a look? Old Ma should come along too, just to help him digest his food." It turned out that Sixth Master also called Ma Chaoran "Old Ma."

In the end, dolphins and sharks were still in charge of accompanying us, and our original group headed to the coffee shop in the afternoon, full of energy.

All the way, Shark kept muttering to himself, "This shouldn't be happening. Who could possibly get a monster like Hao Hao to call for reinforcements? The city management? The market supervision? The tax bureau?"

Dolphin said, "Do you think these people never go home? Maybe they've run into a scammer?"

I laughed and said, "The public security is much better now; nobody thinks of them as thugs or hooligans anymore."

Shark said, "Fifty thugs wouldn't be enough to beat Hao Hao."

It took less than ten minutes to get from the cotton mill to the coffee shop. When we rushed in with a menacing air, there were neither fifty thugs demanding exorbitant prices nor elderly men and women lying on the ground trying to extort money.

Two stylishly dressed young women were sitting at the bar.

Hao Hao stood in a straight line against the shelf, his face filled with terror. When he saw me, he was overjoyed and kept winking at me.

At this moment, one of the girls said, "Handsome, my best friend recharged her card with 500 yuan and just wants your phone number. Is that too much to ask? Why don't you give me a reply?"

Another girl with long manicured nails said, "I just want to be friends with you—why are you always hiding?"

The dolphin and the shark, who had initially looked like they were looking for a fight, both wilted at the sight of this scene and, in a moment of quick thinking, sat down at the seats diagonally opposite the bar.

It turns out that the so-called "trouble" was just two girls who wanted to chat up Hao Hao because he was handsome.

How can I manage something like this? I could only sit down at the table with those two, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

Ma Chaoran sighed, gave the three of us a disdainful look, then walked straight behind the bar and said with a smile to the woman with long manicured nails, "What a coincidence, you like my boyfriend too?"

The girl stood up in a flustered manner and stammered, "This... I'm sorry, we should go."

"Wait a minute," Ma Chaoran said to Hao Hao, "return the money to them."

Hao Hao frantically operated the system, and the money was returned to Chang Meijia's account.

As the two girls fled, the shark said to the girl with long nails, "Do you want my phone number?"

Long-haired, manicured woman glared at him fiercely.

The shark innocently replied, "Why are you glaring at me? Mine is also 11 digits."

The two girls ran even faster.

The dolphin chuckled, "Sharks like this kind?"

The shark touched its face and said, "I just wanted to test whether my looks could hold up—I'm truly disappointed with this world that judges people by their appearance."

Ma Chaoran walked over carrying the pot of coffee that the two girls hadn't touched, and said with a sneer, "Two good-for-nothings!" Two good-for-nothings—I don't know whether to feel proud or disappointed that I wasn't included.

The shark said, "What can we do? We can't exactly fight, can we?"

The dolphin belatedly realized and said to the shark, "Actually, you can do what Lao Ma did too. Who says Hao Hao can't have a boyfriend?"

The shark said, "Why don't you go?"

The dolphin said, "I've already beaten up the hooligans last time, now it's your turn to make your contribution."

Ma Chaoran waved to Hao Hao, who was still shaken, and said, "Come here too, take a few cups." Hao Hao handed out a tray of cups to us, and Ma Chaoran asked him, amused, "You're so good-looking, and you've never encountered anything like this before?"

Hao Hao gradually regained his composure and said, "Was I an idiot before?"

The shark stared at Hao Hao's handsome face and said, "You look absolutely unsuitable to be a secret agent!" His tone was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Hao Hao glanced at him and said, "Yes, I wish I could grow up to look like you."

We all laughed, and I believed Hao Hao was speaking from the heart.

The shark gripped the cup so tightly it cracked, and said, "If I weren't outmatched, I would have fought you to the death."

Ma Chaoran put her arm around Hao Hao's shoulder and said, "I'll take a picture with you later. If something like this happens again, just show them the picture and say you have a girlfriend."

The shark said, "Come on, you're almost ten years older than that idiot. It's only because that girl was blind that she didn't try to take advantage of the situation. Wouldn't someone with a bit of sense have thought of taking advantage of her vulnerability?"

Ma Chaoran clenched her fists and said, "You think I can't beat you, huh?"

The shark quickly begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I had a bad mouth."

Dolphin laughed and said, "Sixth Master probably anticipated what would happen, so he specially sent Old Ma along. If he really felt there was danger, he definitely wouldn't have let Brother Feng come along."

Shark said, "Actually, in that situation just now, it would have been most appropriate for Brother Feng to step in. The attraction of an older man to a young girl is fatal."

I said casually, "The uncle is talking about those with rich social experience and family wealth. Someone like me can only slowly become a grandpa."

"Hehehehehe." Someone started laughing maniacally again.

I said, "Old Ma, won't you give yourself away if you keep laughing like that?"

Ma Chaoran said, "What am I afraid of if I'm not infiltrating the enemy's ranks?"

"By the way, what's your official code name?"

"Guess! There's a prize if you guess right."

"Mermaid?"

"wrong."

"Carp? Grass carp? Whale? Crab? Crayfish?..." I guessed every water-borne animal I could think of from rivers, lakes, seas, and ditches, as if reciting a tongue twister.

"Hold on! My code name is 'Blind Man'."

I clapped and said, "Awesome, I could never have guessed that. But if I were you, I'd rather trade V Koi 50 with him."

Ma Chaoran laughed again: "Sometimes code names are meant to confuse people, and mine are the most valuable."

I said, "No, you don't know the way. If you had told me earlier, I would have guessed correctly if you had focused on the characteristics."

Ma Chaoran sighed, "Old Liu, you're a good person in every way, but it would be even better if you didn't know how to speak properly."

Hao Hao suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, should I have a code name from now on?"

I said, "What do you want to call me?"

"I think we should just call him 'Idiot'."

Ma Chaoran frowned and said, "That sounds awful."

“It’s okay, ‘Blind’ Sister. If you don’t care, I care even less.”

Ma Chaoran gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, everyone in this room speaks very nicely!"

The dolphin raised its hand and said, "Besides me, I didn't say you were old or that your code name was awful."

Ma Chaoran glanced at him and said, "That's because you were the one who gave me the code name 'Blind Man'!"

The dolphin lowered its head and said, "Well, you didn't object, did you?"
