With the status and wealth of Luo Shuihan, personally visiting an ordinary family in the city, it's easy to imagine how they would be treated with great respect and enthusiasm. Many common people are like this: when sitting together privately drinking and chatting, they dare to scold and belittle anyone who is slightly more successful than themselves, but as soon as someone mentions a person who has some connection to them or has achieved something, they immediately become respectful and courteous, as if speaking in this way makes them look good too. If a truly noble person were to show kindness and courtesy, the vast majority of people would immediately offer their full attention and service, thinking to themselves about how much benefit they could gain from it. All their usual complaints and dissatisfaction would disappear.

  Luo Shuihan had been through thick and thin in both the black and white worlds, as well as in the business world for many years. He had long since seen through the inferior nature of human beings, so Bai Shaoliu was even more unexpected to him. He reported his own name outside the door, and from Bai Shaoliu's expression, it was clear that he knew what kind of background Luo Shuihan came from. Xiao Bai's expression also showed surprise, but it was only surprise, not being flattered or honored! It was as if an ordinary guest had arrived unexpectedly. After entering the house, he asked him to sit down and poured water for him. Although he was very polite, there was no excessive enthusiasm, just normal courtesy towards a guest, without any intention of fawning or trying to curry favor.

  Luoshui Han gave the exquisitely crafted small shovel to Bai Shaoliu, which seemed somewhat joking to others. If it were a gift between friends or a leader giving a specially made tool to his subordinate, it would be acceptable, but using it to thank the stranger Bai Shaoliu for saving Luoxi's life was out of place. In her heart, Luoshui Han was naturally clear and had been observing Bai Shaoliu's reaction with a probing mindset.

  However, Xiaobai's reaction made him very satisfied and a little surprised. Seeing that the "thank you gift" was a shovel, Xiaobai also showed a hint of disappointment, which was completely normal, because this wealthy man did not give a generous reward, anyone would feel unexpected and disappointed. But Xiaobai's disappointment only flashed by faintly, and immediately turned into curiosity, genuine curiosity about the shovel. When Xiaobai thanked him, his tone and expression were very sincere, without a hint of pretence. Luoshuihan was well aware that "thank you" was an art of human relationships, sometimes thanking someone in a way that made them dissatisfied was worse than not thanking them at all, for example, the way he gave the thank-you gift today was intentional.

  Observing Xiao Bai's behavior from head to toe, if he wasn't a heartless fool, then he was a terrifyingly worldly and mature person. His calm and composed demeanor was almost as good as Luo Shuihan's! Especially when Xiao Bai took the shovel and thanked him, his eyes remained calm and met his gaze without any intention of avoiding eye contact.

  The gaze between people, if not due to special emotional communication (love, hate, tacit understanding, inquiry, provocation or teasing), cannot last for a long time. Two people continuously staring at each other directly, within two seconds, someone will subconsciously look away, depending on who has the psychological advantage in the situation, such as a leader giving orders to a subordinate, or a police officer interrogating a suspect. Especially between strangers, it depends on who has thicker skin and feels better about themselves. Don't believe me? Try it with anyone, whether they're a stranger or an acquaintance. And yet, Xiao Bai stared back at Luo Shuihan's gaze without flinching, which at least shows that he doesn't have a psychological disadvantage in front of Luo Shuihan.

  Luoshui Han is also considered to have a very discerning eye, but in front of Xiaobai, he can't gain the upper hand. Bai Shaoliu has always been straightforward when interacting with others, never looking at their facial expressions, and almost always having a psychological advantage over anyone. This is something that Luoshui Han cannot comprehend. Moreover, Xiaobai's heart is not as calm as it seems on the surface. When Luoshui Han made an unexpected visit, Xiaobai was also anxious and didn't know what he wanted to do, feeling extremely uneasy. However, facing Zhuang Ruo's face every day, Xiaobai's expression doesn't dare to reveal even a hint of abnormality. This composure is indeed not something that ordinary people can match.

  Xiao Bai finished speaking and sat there looking at Luo Shuihan, his expression seemed to say in Luo Shuihan's eyes - "Do you have anything else? If not, you can leave, I won't keep you for dinner." On the contrary, Luo Shuihan was a bit impatient, slightly avoiding eye contact, coughing and laughing, asking: "Xiao Bai, do you have anything else to say to me? ... or is there something you want to remind me of?"

  "Does that mean you have any other requests, like asking for money or at least introducing a comfortable job? As he spoke, he wondered what Xiaobai's reaction would be. Xiaobai lowered his head, seemingly thinking seriously, then looked up and said: "Actually, there is one thing I want to remind you of. It has nothing to do with me originally, but since you're here asking, I'll say it... Those bodyguards around your daughter are skilled, but their style isn't quite right. They don't care about the safety of their employer and only think about using force to hurt people, which doesn't benefit the person they're protecting. You should remind them to be more careful in the future!"

  Luoshuihan let out a long sigh, and Xiaobai could sense that he was both very happy and somewhat inexplicably disappointed, his emotions were complex. All Luoshuihan said with a sigh was: "Mr Bai, actually I came today mainly to discuss this matter with you."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Looking for me to discuss? This is your family's private matter...... Mr. Luo, why have you suddenly become so polite again? It's better to call me Xiao Bai."

  Luo Shuihan: "You know? Those four people had me fired that very day. That damned one, you crippled him, and his kung fu was also crippled by his own brother, so I didn't pursue it further and left him a dog's life."

  "What did you say? I didn't understand! Who was crippled by me?"

  Luo Shuihan's smile had a hint of mischief behind it: "My daughter Xiao Xi's four bodyguards are all sworn brothers, including a pair of biological brothers. The older brother is called Tan Ming, who is the legitimate eldest disciple of the Northern School's Tan Leg Palm master. It was through an acquaintance that I got to know his master, which is why I asked them to come and be Xiao Xi's bodyguards. Tan Ming's younger brother is called Tan Liang, he's the one you stepped on during the fight that day! That kick of yours wasn't light!"

  "What's wrong with my kick? Why did I end up like this?"

  Luo Shuihan: "Tan Liang's injury is not light or heavy, and there is absolutely no danger to his life. The only problem is that the location of the injury is not good. You kicked him in a place that is very important for a man, and according to the doctor, it will be difficult for him to recover certain functions... However, you don't have to worry about this matter. It was caused by our Luo family, and as long as I am here, no one will come to bother you because of this."

  Xiao Bai was startled, he didn't expect to hurt someone so badly! At this moment, Luo Shuihan's mind was like she had given him some kind of favor or grasped something on him, although there was a hint of apology, it made him feel quite uneasy. He furrowed his brow and said: "Very sorry, I didn't want to do this either, but that was forced self-defense, can't blame me."

  Luoshui Han: "You don't want it that way, but I do! You deserve it! ... If you really report to the police, you were fighting at the time, and although you didn't get hurt, someone was left with a disability. The testimony of the witnesses at the scene won't be in your favor either... Never mind all this, anyway, as long as I'm here, you won't have any more trouble. His brother later personally took action to ruin his martial arts skills, just to beg for mercy from me. For someone who practices martial arts, having their skills ruined is like losing their manhood, and it's also the best lesson in betrayal, so that's why I didn't let them take his life."

  Xiaobai was confused and asked: "You want his life? Why, what betrayal has he committed against you?"

  ……

  At the same time as Bai Shaofeng and Luo Shuihan were talking, in a detached garden house in a noble community in Wuyi City, there was also a man and a woman talking. The man looked about 25 or 26 years old, with a somewhat handsome appearance, but his impatient and arrogant expression made people feel uncomfortable. He was Huang Yusu, the director of Kang Ruan Medical Company, and the woman leaning on the sofa opposite him was his mother, Ai Si, who was also Luo Shuihan's current wife.

  Ai Si is over 40 years old this year, but she has taken good care of herself and still looks delicate and slender with a few hints of charm. Huang Ya Su is her biological son, but not Luo Shui Han's son - he was born to her and her ex-husband. Luo Xue is also not Ai Si's biological daughter, but rather the child of Luo Shui Han and his late ex-wife. To say that Huang Ya Su and Luo Xue are siblings from the same family, yet they have no blood relation whatsoever, being children of different fathers and mothers - this family's relationships are quite complicated, and will be detailed in later chapters.

  Huang Yasi was somewhat exasperated and said: "Mom, you gave that useless waste three million? I inquired about the situation at the time, and he didn't do anything! ... Moreover, I think it's unnecessary to deal with Luo Xue like this, we can use other methods."

  Ai Si looked at his son with some disappointment: "What he did is not important, the key is that Luo Xue really had an accident. If no one intervened, Luo Xue would be dead now... We can indeed ignore him, but we still need other useful people to sacrifice their lives. This three million is a signal - as long as someone makes Luo Xue have an accident, there will be people who pay!"

  Huang Yasi: "Then why did you secretly transfer the money to Tan Liang's account, making it impossible for anyone to find out who gave it? And not even a hint was left behind. Will the Tan brothers know what's going on? Not even a personal favor was asked, and our 3 million was spent without any response!"

  Ai Si looked at this incompetent son with some anger, sat up straight and said: "What do you want to say? Do you want to announce in front of the old man that I gave Tan Liang a large sum of money? Now the old man doesn't know who is behind the scenes, even if he has suspicions, he can't find any evidence. ... Because Miss Luo had an accident, the useless bodyguard who was kicked out by the Luo family can still live a comfortable life. Isn't this hint enough? In those dark and dirty circles, everyone will understand, except you! ... Three million sounds like a lot, but it's not much for us, and for the entire HeLuo Group, it's nothing."

  ***************************************

  Regarding the "eye contact" theory in this article, it is actually a small psychological test that can test how strong your mental quality is and how thick your skin is. The specific method is to find a public place, such as a bus, fast food restaurant, or reading room, sit opposite a beautiful woman (if you are a girl, you can choose a handsome boy), and look at her (him) with your most charming expression.

  It won't be long before she (he) looks up and makes eye contact with you. At this time, pay attention to keeping a straight face and calmly continue looking into her eyes without moving away. Wait for the other person to avoid eye contact, then continue... Can you do it? How long can you hold on? How many rounds can you last?

  I've done this many times, as for the result, hehe, can't tell you! Everyone try it out for themselves, take advantage of the happy long holiday. Finally, I gave such a good holiday entertainment suggestion, everyone keep all the tickets! Thank you!
