Chapter 977: Fifth Brother-in-Law!
"I'm sure!"
Wu Yi almost didn't think about it at all and immediately gave his answer.
"As long as you're sure." Fang Yi nodded and then looked at Li Xue.
Li Xue felt a bit helpless too. She knew Fang Yi's temperament; when he's nice to you, he's nicer than anyone, but if he's not, he's worse than anyone.
Of course, she wasn't criticizing Fang Yi but trying to convey a principle: don't mess with Fang Yi!
At this moment, Li Xue had to step in. She stood in front of Fang Yi, just a little shorter than him, like a loyal guard dog.
"Wu Yi, I'm warning you, don't mess around here! These are not criminals. If you continue to mess around, I don't care what kind of powerful family you have behind you." Li Xue said with a very firm tone.
Wu Yi wasn't angry either and laughed, "Li Xue, don't be mad. Can't I admit I'm wrong? Whatever you say goes."
Li Xue said, "Smart decision!"
Wu Yi grinned somewhat foolishly, but his appearance fell into Fang Yi's eyes, revealing his true nature.
It's because Fang Yi had seen too many people of various kinds in the past; he was already insightful to the core, and could almost perfectly guess what kind of person Wu Yi was.
However, hearing Li Xue say that Wu Yi seemed to have some background, Fang Yi didn't want to make things difficult for Li Xue, so he chose to remain silent.
Wu Yi stepped aside as if he were very broad-minded, but he occasionally sneaked glances at Fang Yi with a cold malice clearly in his eyes.
Li Xue didn't notice any of this. She walked up to Bai Houfeng and asked, "Fifth brother, what exactly happened on the train? I'm really worried. Also, how did you two run into each other? Fifth brother, you didn't speak ill of me, did you?"
Bai Houfeng looked at Fang Yi with a strange expression, but he still briefly explained the train incident to Li Xue.
After hearing this, Li Xue's expression immediately became serious. This was a major case involving traffickers, and she couldn't be neglectful.
Immediately, Li Xue wanted to take action and call someone over, but Bai Houfeng stopped her.
"Don't worry. Those traffickers are in big trouble already. After everyone gets off the train, it's not too late to deal with them slowly," Bai Houfeng said.
"What do you mean?"
Bai Houfeng tapped Li Xue's forehead and laughed, "Aren't you usually as clever as a fox? How come you're so slow now? With that person around, do you think traffickers can escape?"
Li Xue suddenly realized and glanced sideways at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi also laughed: "Fifth brother-in-law is too polite."
Bai Houfeng: "..."
Li Xue blinked her beautiful eyes like water and only then noticed Fang Yi's address for her fifth brother. She asked doubtfully, "Fifth brother, why does he keep calling you fifth brother-in-law? Do we have some family connection with him?"
"No! Definitely not! We don't have any relation with him, don't overthink!" Bai Houfeng immediately said.
"Then why does he keep calling you fifth brother-in-law?"
"Well..." Bai Houfeng thought rapidly but couldn't come up with a reason.
At this time, Fang Yi spoke up with a smile: "I call him fifth brother-in-law because he's upright and a big hero. You don't know, but he dealt with most of those traffickers. I was just by the side helping out. I admire fifth brother-in-law greatly, so I call him that."
Bai Houfeng stared at Fang Yi dumbfounded. This guy could really make things up! Obviously, you just want to pursue my sister, don't you?
But what's strange to Bai Houfeng is why did this guy suddenly give the credit to him?
