Chapter Sixteen: The Plan to Pick Up Girls

  "Hmm, that... hmm, that..." Ye Tu's face turned bright red as he still couldn't get his words out.

  "Ouyang Xueping asked: "What's wrong with you? Is your throat uncomfortable?"

  Ye Tu Fei's ears were filled with the beautiful sound of Ouyang Xueping, like a gentle spring water, and he was smelling the enchanting fragrance of her orchid perfume. He didn't know how to respond, but just stared at Ouyang Xueping in a daze.

  Then, Ou Yang Xue Ping's face also turned red.

  "This person is really strange!" Ouyang Xueping threw down this sentence and turned to leave, leaving Ye Tu Fei still staring blankly at her back, muttering to himself: "So beautiful! So beautiful!"

  At this time, Zhang Luohui rushed in and interrupted Ye Tufei's aftertaste: "Sixth Master, then I'll go first, and Mountain Tiger will be handed over to you. Remember to help him with the night pot at night, he can't get out of bed yet!"

  Ye Tu Fei ignored Zhang Luo Hui's explanation and pulled him down to sit, asking: "Brother, how can you make a little girl like you?"

  Zhang Luohui looked at Ye Tufei's restless appearance and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Sixth Master, aren't you usually a master of this field? What's going on today? Are you desperately trying every possible cure?"

  Someone walked past the door, and judging from the profile, it should be a woman. Ye Tu Fei hastily stretched his neck, and when he confirmed that the person was not Ouyang Xueping, he said to Zhang Luo Hui: "What's this master? Ah, I told you, I've never liked a woman before in my life, no experience! So I asked for your advice, brother."

  "First time? Then what about Miss Tao Zhēnzhēn from Shanghai?" Zhang Luo Hui asked with a smile.

  Ye Tu Fei pointed at Zhang Luo Hui, staring at him and saying: "You'd better confess honestly, was it that Old Feng who told you? Dammit, this dead Old Feng looks like a decent person, but unexpectedly he's the kind of person who gossips about others behind their backs. Unacceptable, I need to go settle accounts with him."

  Zhang Luohui grabbed Ye Tufei, who was about to get up, and said, "This matter, I really didn't hear it from Old Man Feng." With a sly smile, Zhang Luohui continued, "Actually, all of you brothers know."

  Ye Tu Fei looked surprised and asked: "You all know? Then tell me, what do you know?"

  Zhang Luohui hesitated for a moment and asked: "Do you really want me to say it? Then you have to promise not to get angry."

  Yè Tú Fēi said: "Speak! Say as much as you know."

  "Brothers said that Sixth Master was invincible in Shanghai back then, even Du Yuesheng, the big shot of the Green Gang on Shanghai Beach, showed him great respect and asked his first wife to be a matchmaker for him to marry his adopted daughter, Tao Zhēnzhēn Miss. Later, Sixth Master returned to Jiajia Village from Shanghai to avenge Big Brother Jia, but Tao Miss even chased you to Erlang Mountain!"

  Ye Tu Fei burst out laughing and after he stopped, said: "Brothers, are you all really saying this?"

  Zhang Luohui said: "Everyone says the same thing, and I have no choice but to believe it. However, my brothers are uncertain about one thing... Ah, never mind, let's not talk about it."

  "What's going on? Don't hide and dodge like an old lady."

  Zhang Luo Hui gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Brothers are just not sure whether Sixth Master has ever been with Tao Niang. Half of the brothers think Sixth Master didn't get the chance, while the other half firmly believe that Sixth Master must have had his way with Tao Niang."

  Ye Tu Fei's mouth was about to reach his chin, "What kind of nonsense is this? I'm telling you, Gray Donkey, don't listen to those brothers' nonsense. It's true that there's such a thing as Tao Zhenzhen, but things aren't like that. Alas, I'm also speechless, it's hard to say, in the end, it's all because of that dead Old Man Feng."

  Zhang Luohui smiled slyly and moved closer to Ye Tufei, saying: "Sixth Master, then you might as well tell me the real situation?"

  Ye Tu Fei glanced at Zhang Luo Hui sideways and said, "Are you going to listen? Then you'll go back and stir up trouble again. Do you think Sixth Master's IQ is the same as yours?"

  Zhang Luo Hui revealed a mysterious smile and said: "I can help you catch up with Dr. Ouyang!"

  Ye Tu Fei's eyes suddenly emitted an unusual glow, and he asked urgently: "How can you help? Gray Donkey, Ye Tu Fei spat on the ground, if you can help me catch that little girl, from today on, I'll call you brother."

  Zhang Luohui hastily waved his hand and said, "I wouldn't dare to do that. If Ye Liu called me brother, the brothers of Zhongyitang would swallow me whole! I only have one condition." He winked at Ye Tufei and said, "Tell me the story of you and Tao Zhenzhen from start to finish."

  Ye Tu Fei laughed and said, "You little grey donkey, trying to trick me? You first tell me how you plan to help me. If I think your method is feasible, then your small request is no big deal. And I, Sixth Master, guarantee that whatever kind of story you want to hear, I can come up with it."

  Zhang Luohui compromised and put forward a solution that he and Feng Zhongliang had already discussed.

  "Sixth Master, this beauty has always loved heroes, right? Sixth Master, you are a true hero, but Dr. Ouyang doesn't know that! Even if you tell her now that you are the mighty Weizhen Erlangshan Jianghu, who defeated the Japanese pirates and crushed the weak to save the Jia family's Wan, Dr. Ouyang might still think you're just a bandit and ignore you. So, your first step should be to put on the uniform of a National Army lieutenant colonel. Look, Dr. Ouyang is only a junior officer, when she sees you, a senior officer, she'll have to salute and address you as 'sir'. That way, you'll have the chance to talk to her, won't you?"

  Ye Tu Fei nodded and said: "Yes, that makes sense. What's the second step?"

  Zhang Luohui smiled and said: "This second step, we'll give her a heroic rescue, hehe, don't worry that Dr. Ouyang won't be grateful to you."

  "No way, no way, this method is too reckless. What if we're not careful and end up hurting her?"

  Zhang Luo Hui sighed and shook his head, saying: "Where are you thinking of going? I'll tell you, Sixth Master, what this doctor is most afraid of? She's most afraid that the patient won't be satisfied, if the patient gets angry and makes a scene, heh, she can only endure it with humility, right?"

  "Of course."

  Zhang Luohui smiled and said: "This unreasonable patient will be handed over to Old Feng, it's all his fault. When the time is right, you'll come out and scold Old Feng severely, let Dr. Ouyang vent her anger, and she'll naturally thank you. Then, you can chat with her about your heroic deeds, if she doesn't like you, Ye Liu Ye, I Zhang Luohui will take her surname from now on!"

  Ye Tu Fei thought for a moment and felt that this method might work. He suddenly patted Zhang Luo Hui's shoulder and shouted: "Let's do it!"

  Zhang Luohui gritted his teeth and pouted, looking very painful, and said pitifully: "Well, Sixth Master, it's time for you to tell me the story of Tao Zhentao now."

  Ye Tu Fei stood up and walked away with a pat on his butt, Zhang Luo Hui couldn't stop him and could only mutter behind him: "Sixth Master, aren't you being unreasonable?"

  Ye Tu Fei leaned against the door frame, turned his head and said: "Sixth Master agreed to tell you about Tao Niang's affairs, but Sixth Master didn't say when he would tell you, did he?"

  Zhang Luohui snorted, rolling his eyes and saying: "Sixth Master, you're ruthless! However, even if you don't say anything, I dare to guarantee that Old Man Feng will absolutely not cooperate with you."

  "How dare he?!"

  Zhang Luo Hui smiled and said, "Then you try it."

  Just then, Guo Zhonglin rushed in and hastily reported: "Two masters, hurry up, someone has come from above, saying that there is an important matter that must be seen by you two masters immediately."

  Zhang Luohui hastily asked: "Above? Which above? Is it Officer Yan?"

  Kuo Chung-lin replied: "I don't know him, he said he was from the Ministry of Education."

  Zhang Luohui said: "I reckon it's for the adaptation of our Zhongyitang, let's go Sixth Master, this matter can't be delayed."

  Zhang Luohui guessed correctly, and the purpose of the people from the Ministry was indeed to reform the Zhongyitang.

  "Two officers, this matter is not complicated. Just prepare a list of names for me and the resumes of the military officers who will be awarded ranks in the future. That's all." The person from the division headquarters was a captain, who spoke very politely to Ye Tufei and Zhang Luohui.

  Yue Tui Fei asked: "These brothers' flower names are easy to deal with, but how should we handle their resumes?"

  Captain smiled and replied: "I have a form here, you can fill it in at will. The brothers of Director Ye are all officials who have been notified by the Command Center, so let's keep things simple."

  Ye Tufei smiled and said: "That's good, otherwise we brothers would really not know what to do."

  The captain pulled out a stack of forms from his briefcase and said, "Three days should be enough time, shouldn't it, gentlemen? I'll come back for these materials in three days."

  Zhang Luohui agreed, but Ye Tufei said: "No need, this brother, you've come a long way and it's not easy. So, take your time, rest for a while, and let's have a drink together later. I'll accompany Zhang Team Leader to keep you company. After you've eaten and drunk enough, we can talk about the flower list and resume."

  The captain smiled and said: "It's all said that Ye Liu Ye is straightforward and righteous, caring for his brothers. Today I see it, indeed."

  Zhang Luo Hui retorted with a smirk: "You only saw Ye Liu's appearance, but not his true nature. Let me tell you, Ye Liu is actually a big scammer!"

  Ye Tu Fei burst out laughing and said, "Hui Lu Zi, don't just grab a handful of sweat and call it a tail! Alright, later when we're drinking, I'll tell you all about the story of Tao Niang, right in front of this newly met brother of ours. How's that?"

  Zhang Luohui nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's more like it, Sixth Master is indeed Sixth Master!"

  However, after raising his wine cup, Ye Tufei didn't mention Tao Zhēnzhēn's matter at all, making Zhang Luohui anxious to the point of scratching his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't afford to lose face in front of his comrades from the same division.
