Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

"Where'd you go? You've really kept me waiting!" Luo Puti snapped. 

"Someone seemed to have lost something important in the clubhouse. It's quite the mess in there so I decided to hang back a little." Chen Xiaobei smiled.

"Whatever. Let's go. I'm going to drop you off at the hotel." Luo Puti said as she turned on the car ignition.

"I thought you were fine with me sleeping at your place?" he teased. "Are you trying to break your promise?"

"Tut! I never gave you permission to sleep at my place!" she replied coldly.

"I don't care. I want to sleep at your place tonight!" Chen Xiaobei grinned. "Aren't you worried about a guy like me sleeping alone? What if some bitch tries to steal my virginity?"

"Please don't make me puke." Luo Puti rolled her eyes, "I don't think you have the balls to sleep at my place even if I let you, and my grandpa would break your legs if you set foot in my house!"

"Huh… So your grandpa is at home… I don't think I want to sleep at your place anymore…" Chen Xiaobei scratched the tip of his nose and threw in the towel immediately.

"Anyway. You should head back to Green Vine City as soon as you can if you don't have other business in Dragon City. The Qing Wu Faction will definitely come looking for you after you embarrassed Wu Jiechao in public!" She snapped.

"My fiancée is the sweetest woman in this world!" Chen Xiaobei exclaimed in joy. "I'm glad she's so worried about me!"

"Please die! This is your last warning – don't call me your fiancée!" She cautioned coldly.

"Alright… Wifey, do you have plans for a trip back to Green Vine City? I shall pluck some First Love Peaches personally for you when you come back into my arms."

Luo Puti was caught off guard. She pursed her lips subconsciously because she had not tasted the First Love Peach for some time. She really missed it – so much so that she did not even realize how Chen Xiaobei was addressing her.

"I'm going to meet up with someone special soon," she replied after some time. "I need to do some digging on this man before I search for his child, so I should be in Green Vine City in a week!"

"What?" Chen Xiaobei yelped in surprise. "You've never met him before? Then what the hell were you searching for last time?".

"You have no idea," she said with a distinctly quieter tone. "That special person is among our nation's greatest talents. Everything about him – even his public profile picture – had been modified or falsified to ensure that his identity was concealed. It was only thanks to Elder Cao that I could meet him in person!"

Luo Puti had dropped her voice as she feared that somebody else was listening in on them. Still, she told Chen Xiaobei everything about the man because she knew that she could trust him completely. They had been through two life-or-death situations together after all.

"Everything about him is fake? Why?" Chen Xiaobei asked keenly.

"He's involved in various top-secret research for our country's military." Lut Puti explained. "Countless foreign assassins would try to kill him if they learned of his true identity, and his family would be in grave danger too." Luo Puti said.

"I see. So Poseidon wants to use this special person's children as a hostage to threaten both him and the country?" Chen Xiaobei asked as he came to a realization.

"That's right. Which is why I could not afford to fail." Luo Puti nodded and said gravely.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you!" Chen Xiaobei offered. "Although I didn't join Thunder Kirin Special Forces, I'm more than willing to serve my country. Any who dares threaten our country will be taken out no matter how far they are!"

Luo Puti's icy expression softened after his words. "Chen Xiaobei! You're a real man!" She said, showering him with a rare praise.

"Hehe… Actually, I'm doing it for the both of us," he added cheerily. "You're my dear fiancée after all, and I should help you no matter what!"

"Go to hell! I don't want your help anymore!" She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the ground; it seems to her that Chen Xiaobei could never be serious for more than three seconds.

Luo Puti then turned around and left the hotel without a glance behind.

Chen Xiaobei entered his room and sat on the bed to examine his loot from the clubhouse.

The two medical ingredients were not of much use to him, so he simply set them aside. As for the two skill books, he could modify and sell them at a high price in his own auction. The starting bid for them were one hundred million, but Chen Xiaobei was confident that he could raise it to three hundred million. The prices might go even higher if there were more bidders – in short, his bank account would get a big fat boost!

Ding!

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei received a text message from Lan Mengchen. There was only one word in it.

[Help!]

"Shit! What the hell happened to Mengchen?" Chen Xiaobei exclaimed in shock.

He jumped down from his bed. He was prepared to call her before realizing that she would not have texted him if she could pick up the call – it would be a waste of time to dial her number.

"I have to ask for help from the Red Envelope Group!" He said. The circle was indeed the most reliable source for favors whenever it comes to emergency like this.

Chen Xiaobei: Qianli Yan! I need a piece of God's Eyes Talisman, just name the price! Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

NeZha: Wow! Xiaobei, are you okay? I've never seen you act like this!

Chen Xiaobei: It's an emergency! One of my friends is in danger; I have to help her!

Qianli Yan: I won't ask for anything ridiculous since it's an emergency! You can just pay me a hundred merit points later!

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Qianli Yan. You have received a piece of God's Eyes Talisman, it has been stored in your treasure chest!]

Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much! I'll send you the merit points later!

NeZha: God Chen! Just tell me what you need! I don't want your merit points!

Monkey King: Yeah! Just tell me what you need as well!

Yanwang: Likewise!

Xian Tianquan: Just say the word!

Chen Xiaobei: Thank you, everyone! But I have to find my friend first! 

Chen Xiaobei took out the God's Eyes Talisman from his treasure chest and started to search for Lan Mengchen, and he used it rather well since he used it before.

In just half a minute, he managed to find her Follow current s on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

"Fuck! Zhuang Bifan, you asshole! How dare you take advantage of Mengchen?"

Through the God's Eyes Talisman, Chen Xiaobei could see that Zhuang Bifan was completely drunk. There was a beer bottle in his hand as he stood inside Lan Mengchen's room. He looked prepared to sexually assault her after two more sips! 

While he wanted badly to be right there right then, the Guiyan Mansion was thirty kilometers away from the hotel. It would be too late if he took a taxi, which was why Chen Xiaobei quickly returned to the chat group to ask for help again.

Chen Xiaobei: I need to reach a place is thirty kilometers away from me at the shortest time possible. Can anyone help?
