Ning Zihuan saw that the two were about to burst out of the bar when he suddenly blew a loud whistle, and a group of men in black poured out from the entrance, effectively blocking the two men’s exit.
Pei Qinghan took off his coat, limbered up his limbs, and turned his head to look at Yuesheng, "Can you still hold up?"
Yuesheng sneered coldly, his fists cracking, "No problem, as usual, you take the left and I’ll take the right."
The two men, surrounded by the men in black, still did not fall into a disadvantage, knocking one after the other to the ground, to the point where onlookers wanted to applaud and cheer.
Ning Zihuan’s eyes were gloomy, and his gun aimed at Pei Qinghan...
At that moment, Pei Qinghan was besieged by three people and couldn’t spare a moment for the hidden shot; at the same time, another group of men in black rushed in from outside, Bai Xiangxiang hid behind the door, catching sight of the men in black entering and the gun aimed at Pei Qinghan, a plan forming in her mind.
Yuesheng punched a man in black away and caught a glimpse of the gun aimed at Pei Qinghan, inwardly cursing the situation, and dashed towards Pei Qinghan.
Ning Zihuan’s thin lips curled up slightly, as his finger gently pulled the trigger...
Pei Qinghan’s eyes narrowed, he grabbed one of the men in black to shield his chest, took a hit to his exposed back, but it was still better than getting shot; suddenly, a frail figure rushed out from the side and shielded him, taking a bullet for him.
Pei Qinghan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, then a team charged up, breaking the encirclement to protect Pei Qinghan and Yuesheng as they retreated outside.
The figure swayed and collapsed towards Pei Qinghan, who caught her reflexively. Her shoulder was soaked in blood, her face pale as paper, her fingers gripping the front of his shirt tightly, as if wanting to say something before she fainted away.
Yuesheng cursed under his breath, "Where did this girl come from, she really knows how to block a shot, damn it."
Pei Qinghan laid the person down, his eyes coldly sweeping over the girl’s pale face; her tranquil features seemed through the heavy makeup to reveal a glimpse of refined beauty, and what lingered in his mind were those clear eyes that seemed somehow familiar...
The men in black protected the two men as they quickly retreated outside. In that moment of turning, Pei Qinghan gave a faint order, "Take that girl with us."
Bai Xiangxiang opened her eyes, and the piercing pain in her shoulder made her frown subconsciously.
Surveying the room, its elegance and tranquility reminded her of that man’s figure.
At that moment, the room’s door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman in her twenties walked in. Seeing the girl awake, she smiled and said, "Miss, you’re awake. I’ll go call the doctor."
It was just a stray bullet in the shoulder, nothing serious. A good rest for some time would ensure a full recovery. After the doctor gave some precautions, he left.
She wouldn’t have foolishly rushed to block the bullet; she had timed it and angled it so that, although it appeared she was seriously injured, it was not a big deal.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Bai Xiangxiang pursed her lips into a smile. She looked delicate and beautiful, yet tinged with a sickly pallor that inspired sympathy.
"Sister Ah Ling, may I ask where this is?"
The woman smiled politely, but the smile didn’t quite reach her eyes, "This is Master Pei’s home. Master Pei has ordered that you rest well here. My name is Ah Ling; if you need anything, Miss, just tell me."
Bai Xiangxiang’s hand under the covers clenched into a fist excitedly, but she didn’t let it show on her face.
She had made the right gamble.
How formidable Pei Qinghan was, everyone in Jiangzhou knew; even her father had almost been defeated by this man. Both the political and business circles were extremely cautious around him, yet he remained enigmatic, to the extent that outsiders didn’t even know his exact age.
She never expected he would be such a young and handsome man. If she could connect with him, the Bai Family could be saved, and she would also be able... Her thoughts toward his handsome face and his formidable skills gave rise to a girlish shyness within her.
"Thank you, Sister Ah Ling, for Master Pei’s hospitality. But I haven’t been home all night, my family must be worried," she said.
Ah Ling glanced at her, smiling, "Don’t worry, Miss. Master Pei has already sent someone to inform your family of the situation. Miss, just rest here at ease until you’re healed, and someone will take you home."
Bai Xiangxiang felt a surge of joy in her heart; she hadn’t expected him to be so considerate. It seemed that taking the bullet wasn’t in vain. She was curious about where Pei Qinghan was, but she held back, knowing she couldn’t show the slightest flaw at this time. These people were shrewd, and it would be easy for them to see through her, which could ruin her plans.
"Then I thank you, Sister Ling."
Ah Ling smiled, "It’s my duty. You must be hungry, Miss. I will arrange breakfast." With that, she left the room. Follow current novels on ɴovelfire.net
