"Indeed, it's fast enough!"
Bai Shaofeng: "Actually, it's just that my eyes are fast and I saw your movements clearly early on. The reaction isn't quick because I'm using my right hand. If I had used my left hand to hold the chopsticks earlier, you wouldn't have even been able to touch them!"
"Are you left-handed?"
"Not really. I was in a car accident before and injured my right hand and left leg. Although I've recovered to the point where I'm no different from a normal person, it's not superhuman."
Luobing: "I get it, no wonder I couldn't tell you're a Practitioner's son. Among all the martial arts schools in the world, regardless of their techniques and internal energy, there is only one thing that is hard to achieve - speed. That's why even Tanming, a top-notch expert, would fall for your tricks. You little rascal, you're quite bold to tell me this, aren't you afraid of leaking secrets? If Luo Boss finds out he didn't hire a real expert, your rice bowl might be in danger."
Bai Shaoliu: "What's there to be afraid of? Mr. Luo won't think that way, he doesn't understand martial arts and only looks at actual results. Besides, I should also tell you the truth, you know my situation, so you know what I need to learn. Can we discuss something? The training courses you've arranged for me recently are all good, but the martial art I want to learn the most, you haven't arranged anyone to teach me."
Luobing smiled wryly: "Who would have thought that you're a high-handed master, must have learned from a famous teacher, how could they arrange this training for you? ... But, like Tanming, such a master really needs to be discussed in terms of martial arts, even I may not be his opponent, but you're not afraid of him. If we want to find a suitable martial arts coach for you, it's probably impossible."
When interacting with unfamiliar people, not everything should be said. However, Xiaobai could feel that Luobing's personality was very straightforward, he didn't have any ulterior motives, and whatever he thought in his heart, he would say it out loud. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he found that Luobing's words were all sincere, and he really looked at him more and more favorably. As for Xiaobai, there was generally no need to be on guard against people, because he could directly sense people's hearts, and Luobing had no suspicion or malice towards him.
Once the conversation started, there were many things to talk about, perhaps due to the wine. Xiaobai asked Luo Bing at the dinner table: "Master, actually I have a question for you today, I've been thinking about it just now, but I didn't quite understand."
"Ask if you want to ask, and help you think together if you don't understand."
Bai Shaofeng: "The person who encountered danger at sea today was fake, I can tell, so I didn't jump into the water to save him and my conscience is clear. But suppose, just suppose, someone really fell into the water and encountered danger, and there was no one else who could save him, what should I have done at that time? And if such a thing happens again in the future, what should I do?"
Luò Bīng's face cleared of its drunken haze as he looked at Xiǎo Bái, and said thoughtfully: "If you weren't on duty and Luò xiǎojiě wasn't by your side, if you encountered someone in distress, would it be a problem for you to go rescue them?"
"I think it's like this."
Luobing nodded: "Okay, okay, you're really a good kid. Let's change the situation. At that time, the person who fell into the water wasn't a bad guy, but someone who was really in danger at sea. If you jump into the water to save him, it would be dereliction of duty, and Miss Luo might be in danger. If you don't rescue him, your conscience will also feel uneasy. You didn't know what to do that was right, did you?"
"Yes, at that time I knew the person wearing a yellow jacket was not good intentioned, and I definitely wouldn't leave Miss Luo's side. But if this person wasn't there? I don't know if Miss Luo would have been in danger or not? You tell me, should I save people? You're an elder with more experience, that's why I wanted to ask for your advice."
Luobing sighed, opened another bottle of beer and handed it to Bai Shaoliu: "This question has no answer. If you can blow this bottle empty, I'll tell you my story, then think about it yourself."
Luó Bīng, do you have any more stories? Xiao Bai really wants to know. Anyway, the wine has already been drunk quite a bit, so it doesn't matter if we drink another bottle. Xiao Bai blew into the bottle and almost choked while drinking to the end, finally finishing the bottle of wine. With red eyes, he looked at Luó Bīng: "Master, I've finished drinking, tell me your story."
Luobing's story is actually related to Luoshuihan, that is why he would risk his life for Luoshuihan. Because Luoshuihan had saved him before. When Luobing was a young soldier, he was a scout, later selected into the special forces, and then joined the special operations unit of the intelligence department. During an operation, Luobing's mission was to disguise himself as a mole and meet with a representative of a smuggling organization that smuggled weapons across the border.
The handover took place in a temporary camp deep in the jungle on the southern border, very secretive and smooth, but something went wrong. No one expected that there would be local mountain people appearing in the jungle, a boy and a girl in their teens, looking for lost livestock, coincidentally witnessing their transaction. According to the underworld rules, it was necessary to kill them to silence them, but Luo Bing did not have the heart to do it. Even if he didn't do it, the other party would have done it anyway. As a result, Luo Bing killed three people on the other side and saved the lives of the two children.
The man was saved, but Luo Bing's mission failed and his identity was exposed. The three people sent by the foreign arms smuggling group to make a trial transaction were all killed, and the intelligence department could not catch the bigger target behind the scenes as planned. A series of carefully prepared actions suffered a big blow. As a result, Luo Bing was taken to a military court and almost went to prison, when Luoshui Han saved him.
Luo Shuihan was a businessman on the surface, but at that time, his business was not simple either. He had dealings with both the black and white worlds and occasionally worked as an informant for the intelligence department, having some internal connections. This time, Luo Shuihan somewhat supported the intelligence department's operation, using his cross-border business to provide cover for the intelligence personnel, which is how he met Luo Bing. After Luo Bing got into trouble, he didn't defend himself and waited for his verdict, but before he was taken to court, Luo Shuihan managed to get a so-called piece of evidence. This evidence was that Luo Bing's identity had already been exposed before the meeting, and the three people on the other side would have killed him even if they hadn't intended to. The failure of the mission and subsequent losses had nothing to do with Luo Bing.
Perhaps this evidence was not enough, Luoshuihan still paid the price to get through the connections and operated privately, which finally pulled Luo Bing out. In the end, Luo Bing was not sent to a military court, but he was expelled, and then Luoshuihan took him in until now.
This story may be shocking, but Luo Bing said it very simply, without any exaggeration. After finishing, he asked Xiao Bai: "Do you think what I did at the time was right or wrong? I can tell you that it is absolutely wrong! But if I didn't save those two children, would it be right? There is no answer! ... People must first fulfill their own responsibilities, and if they want to do more, they need greater ability. I would like to protect all the people in the world, but can I do it? So now, I can only first protect the people I should protect! If there is still strength left, then think about more people."
Xiao Bai finally understood why Luo Bing sighed before speaking, and using this story to answer his question was quite clever. He could see that Luo Bing's mood wasn't good now, so he comforted him by saying: "Let's not mention past things, let's just drink."
Luobing: "It's been a long time since I talked to someone about this, every time I bring it up, my heart feels strange. Actually, I made many mistakes in the army, but the one that really deserved punishment was this time!"
"Oh? What else have you done wrong?"
Luobing closed his eyes, recalling the past, and couldn't help but smile. Xiaobai felt that his mood had improved again. He heard Luobing say, holding up his wine cup: "After I joined the army, the first time I was disciplined for violating regulations was related to my special ability, which is what you just saw - imitating others' appearances... I imitated a deputy regimental commander's appearance and kissed a nurse from the military hospital. That nurse usually ignored us low-ranking soldiers, but after mistaking me for someone else, she became so flirtatious?"
Xiao Bai laughed: "Boss, I didn't expect you to be so mischievous when you were young?"
Luobing suddenly looked up and said: "Xiaobai, do you have a partner?"
Bai Shaoliu: "No, I haven't even had a girlfriend yet, no one has taken a liking to me."
Luobing: "A good-looking guy like you, how could nobody be interested? Let's not drink here anymore, come on, let's go somewhere else to drink and have some fun. Tonight I'll take you out to relax and unwind."
"Still drinking? Where to?"
Luō Bīng stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill. At the same time, he said to Xiao Bai: "Don't pretend to be innocent either, just come with me."
