"Sister, I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Ban Zheyu slowly skateboarded while answering the phone.
"I'll send you the photos as soon as I get them, don't rush! I'll definitely make sure Xiao Ge looks incredibly handsome! I guarantee you and your friends will be surprised and scream with excitement!"
"Okay, twenty minutes it is!"
After hanging up the phone, Ban Zheyu continued gliding forward, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly rushed out from the roadside, hooked his neck, covered his mouth, and dragged him forcefully into the alley next to him.
Only the skateboard that had slid off its feet remained, slowly continuing to glide forward until it finally crashed into the trash can in front of it and came to a slow stop.
...
Xiao He bent down, picked up the skateboard from the ground, and quickly scanned his surroundings before his gaze settled on a locked wire mesh gate. He walked forward and peeked through the gap into the gate, discovering that it led to a deep, dark alleyway.
Xiao He raised his hand and shook it, but the wire door didn't budge.
After a moment's thought, he took out a safety pin, fumbled in the lock, and the wire door opened with a click.
Seeing such an amazing technique, the five people behind Xiao He did not [N O V E L I G H T] speak, but just stood there blankly behind Xiao He, waiting for him to give the next instructions.
Xiao He stepped forward and walked completely into the shadows.
The rest of the group followed closely behind.
This alley was clearly more secluded and dark than the alley Xiao He had just chosen. There was almost no light at the end of the alley. After walking a few steps, Xiao He saw a man in black with his back to them, holding something up and throwing it at the person below him.
Almost without hesitation, Xiao He instinctively swung the baseball bat in his hand—
He swore he never imagined his skill 【Absolute Accuracy】 would make the baseball bat so obedient.
After the baseball bat left his hand, it spun countless times in mid-air before striking the opponent precisely on the back of the head with a loud "thud."
The sound was loud and clear. Almost at the same time, the people behind Xiao He subconsciously shrank their necks and covered their foreheads in pain, as if they also felt the pain of being hit on the head with a stick.
This blow completely stunned the person.
Without hesitation, Xiao He quickly stepped forward and, taking advantage of the other's momentary confusion, swung his skateboard again—
"Bang--"
The guy was slapped in the face with a skateboard. Before he could even see who it was, blood gushed from his nose, and he passed out completely, without any chance to fight back.
The others gasped in shock.
Phew—thankfully, this guy didn't have a skateboard at the time.
Otherwise, you can forget about getting that nose bone.
Xiao He lowered his head, sniffing the strong smell of blood on the other person, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
This is serious! The guy lying on the ground has taken many lives!
I had only noticed their gaze before, but I hadn't come into close contact with them. I never expected that the smell of this fellow creature would be so incredibly foul!
Where did Ban Zheyu get such a vicious murderer?
If he had arrived any later, this little boy might have been in serious danger!
At this moment, Ban Zheyu on the ground slowly woke up.
Upon seeing the person standing in front of him, and the five fierce henchmen behind him, Ban Zheyu instinctively let out a terrified scream.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, Xiao He—"
Xiao He quickly removed his mask to reveal his identity.
Ban Zheyu squinted, carefully examined the person under the hoodie, then widened his eyes: "Holy crap? Am I dreaming? I think I saw Brother Xiao?"
He sat bolt upright and began to examine his body from head to toe: "Oh no, oh no, am I dead?"
Xiao He rubbed his forehead: "Very good, it seems the person is still alright."
He glanced down at the person on the ground, then impatiently turned to look at the five "useless" people behind him, and said coldly, "Aren't you going to clean them up and take them to the police station to turn themselves in?"
The five men looked at each other, and then the skinny one, who was the more shrewd, stepped forward and tentatively dragged the person on the ground while secretly glancing at Xiao He's expression.
Xiao He stared at them with a half-smile.
Then the skinny guy understood.
He picked up a baseball bat from the ground and thumped the person on the ground several times. Then he directed the others to drag the person into a deeper corner, like carrying a dead pig.
In the blink of an eye, the group disappeared into the shadows.
Ban Zheyu was dumbfounded.
"How about you? Are you alright? Stand up and walk around a bit?"
Xiao He then turned his attention to Ban Zheyu's situation.
"I'm fine."
Ban Zheyu's mind was still a little dazed. He only remembered that he seemed to have been almost kidnapped, and then when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he seemed to have been rescued by Brother Xiao.
Looking at the dreamlike scene before him, Ban Zheyu pinched his thigh and grinned at Xiao He: "Wow, Brother Xiao, so you really are the heir to a gangster's scheme?"
He thought what those people on the internet were saying was all fake, just teasing foreigners, but now that he sees it, it's actually true!
The five guys who were with Brother Xiao earlier were obviously gangsters, yet they obeyed him completely! That's incredible!
Ban Zheyu used to think that other fans were exaggerating when they praised Xiao Ge, but now he sees that he truly deserves the title!
Ban Zheyu burst into tears, grabbed Xiao He's leg, and cried out, "Brother Xiao, you're my brother forever! I swear I'll be your die-hard fan!"
Xiao He: "..."
...
At the hotel, Liu Rulan, having finished her work, finally put down her phone and glanced at her watch.
"How long has Xiao He been gone?"
She asked Xiao Chen.
"It must have been more than an hour."
Xiao Chen immediately replied, "Should we call Brother Xiao?"
"Ask him what's going on, maybe he's been cornered by fans somewhere."
"good--"
Xiao Chen dialed the phone, and after a moment of silence, looked at Sister Liu with a complicated expression.
"Sister Liu, something seems to have happened..."
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Liu Rulan felt a twitch in her temple.
She rubbed her temples and took a deep breath: "Speak."
"Brother Xiao is at the police station now. It seems they arrested a kidnapper and a few thugs."
Liu Rulan found this entirely expected and immediately turned to leave, saying, "...Tell me the location!"
A few minutes later, Liu Rulan and Jemmis arrived at the police station.
Jamie took out his business card and showed it to the police officer. Almost immediately, they met Xiao He and Ban Zheyu.
In fact, Xiao He was perfectly fine; he was simply accompanying Ban Zheyu. Beside Ban Zheyu stood a middle-aged man who was asking about Ban Zheyu's condition with concern.
Upon seeing Xiao He, Liu Rulan first sized him up before letting out a sigh of relief. She then walked up to Xiao He and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Xiao He spread his hands, looking completely innocent, and said, "It seems that a group of thugs and a kidnapper had an accidental conflict and started fighting. I happened to be passing by and saw that the kidnapper had kidnapped a Chinese student, so I called the police. It has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by."
Liu Rulan: "...Okay, I understand."
The more you emphasize that it's okay, the more it actually matters!
She glared at Xiao He, but didn't press the matter. Instead, she looked at Jemmis apologetically and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Mr. Jemmis this time."
Jamies remained calm and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a small problem."
