Chapter 496: Chapter 497: Uncle, there are bad guys chasing me
On her way to the Empire Hotel, Xia Yangyang received an urgent message from Phoenix.
She said that there was an incident, the FBI had surrounded the hotel, and asked her not to come over.
Xia Yangyang felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
Xiao Zhan wasn’t a guiltless figure.
Although Xia Yangyang had been calling him ‘big brother’ these years, they rarely interacted.
Xiao Zhan infrequently appeared in public.
However, he was in a relationship with Phoenix.
A bad feeling began to arise in Xia Yangyang’s heart.
Sure enough, the next sentence from Phoenix was, “Ah Zhan and Xiao Ye are missing now, none of us can contact them.”
Xia Yangyang suddenly felt her heart heavy.
She knew Xiao Zhan was an extremely powerful character.
But she couldn’t help but worry about him.
Xia Yangyang knew that if anything happened, Xiao Zhan would protect Xia Ye, even if it cost his own life.
She was worried about this: fearing that Xia Ye would be implicated in this battle, and even more, she feared that Xia Ye would drag Xiao Zhan down.
At this point, Xiao Zhan and Xia Ye were trapped inside a security corridor of the Empire Building.
Xiao Zhan knew that the FBI officers outside were all armed.
If he resisted, they could shoot him dead at any time.
However, if he surrendered, certain high-ranking officials involved would never want him to fall into the hands of the American upper class.
He had knowledge on the dark secrets of capitals worldwide.
Those who were chasing him were International Bureau of Police.
Among them were frothing agents and lackeys of their own.
When the time came, they would still find a way to dispose of him.
The outcome would be the same.
If he was alone, Xiao Zhan had a great chance to deal with his pursuers.
However, he had a child with him.
This child had a special identity and his godfather treasured him as if he were life itself.
Xiao Zhan was determined to protect him at all costs.
The child had a sleep disorder.
Fortunately, he was in his wakeful phase for now.
Xiao Zhan squatted down and told Xia Ye, “Xiao Ye, many people want to catch me right now. I have no way to keep you by my side. Later, you leave by the elevator. Pretend that you don’t know me. No matter what happens, just keep moving forward. Understand?”
Xia Ye was only four years old.
However, he understood everyone’s background and identities well.
Xia Ye asked, “Uncle, can you handle so many people by yourself?”
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, “Don’t worry about me. They couldn’t harm a single hair on my head. Once you’re out, find your mother as soon as possible and tell Master Gao that I’ve gone to the usual place.”
Xia Ye nodded, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
There was an unusual calmness and steadiness in Xia Ye’s eyes for someone his age.
Even though he knew what the situation was, he remained calm throughout.
They both left the safe passageway and entered the corridor.
There were quite a few people in the corridor.
Many people were lying in wait at various places.
But at that moment, they wouldn’t make any arrest in public.
Xiao Zhan walked in the opposite direction, as if he didn’t know Xia Ye.
Xiao Zhan’s goal was to lure most people away.
However, this child still attracted some attention.
Everyone had seen Xiao Zhan carrying a child when he first got out of the car.
But they weren’t sure if it was the same child.
Everyone didn’t know what the relationship between the child and Xiao Zhan was.
Xia Ye calmly moved through the corridor.
Then he took the elevator up.
A few people who were tailing him rushed up on the stairs, dividing themselves into several groups.
Xia Ye pressed for the ground floor.
When the elevator doors opened, they faced the hotel lobby.
There were many people in the lobby.
This was an international hotel with guests from all over the world.
Xia Ye walked forward.
He blended into the crowd.
But a few detectives continued to tail him secretly from behind.
Xia Ye noticed it too.
Suddenly, he quickened his steps, directly took hold of a man’s hand, and calmly said, “Uncle, there are bad guys chasing me. Could you please help me get away?”
