With that, Han Zheng laughed with great arrogance. “Han Rui, I’m sorry, my subordinates must have been too rough and damaged your brain, causing you to have problems now. But, you just wait, I’ll definitely put on a good show for you later.”
After speaking, he subtly gestured, and his henchmen sprang into action.
In an instant, over a hundred thugs eagerly flexed their muscles, ready to advance. Some even discarded their weapons.
It was just a woman; they’d rip her clothes off later, and she’d be like a lamb to the slaughter.
It was a pity they were thinking far too naively!
Bai Xi looked at the people before her and slightly raised her hand. Her fair wrist was slender and unadorned, except for a blood-red jade bracelet.
She was wearing a dress today, which would be inconvenient for a fight. Moreover, these people weren’t even qualified to be her sparring partners.
The next second, countless men in black, tight-fitting attire descended from the sky, immediately beginning a forceful sweep.
Han Zheng stared at these people, utterly stunned.
He had no idea when so many people had infiltrated this abandoned factory. “Quick, attack! Kill these people, kill Han Rui!”
He roared, pulling out a pistol from his chest and firing directly at Han Rui.
If he killed Han Rui, he would escape. As long as Han Rui was dead, the Han family would fall into his hands. As for this woman… he had truly underestimated her, and underestimated the people under her command.
Han Rui’s eyes widened as he saw the gun pointed at him.
The next second, the gun fired, but it struck one of the thugs beside him.
The thug, who had been about to attack Han Rui with a knife, was killed by that shot. He collapsed on the ground, a hole in his chest, his body convulsing. A large amount of blood gushed from his mouth and nose, his eyes wide in a final, unfulfilled gaze.
Han Rui felt a chill down his spine and looked up towards Han Zheng.
Bai Xi was already standing beside Han Zheng, looking at him with cold, indifferent eyes. “If you’re going to kill someone, aim for the head or the heart. What’s the point of shooting Han Rui’s shoulder?”
Just now, Han Zheng had indeed aimed at Han Rui, but according to the gun’s direction, the shot should have hit Han Rui’s shoulder.
With such shooting skills, he dared to commit murder?
Therefore, she had stepped forward and pushed his arm by half a fist’s length, using his subordinate to give him a shooting lesson.
Han Rui was speechless. Was Bai Xi here to save him or to ensure Han Zheng could kill him?
“Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the seasons turned cold…”
Han Zheng snapped out of his shock. “You, you, you…”
Impossible, impossible! This woman had been standing not far in front of Han Rui moments ago, and now she was in front of him in the blink of an eye. Was this woman a ghost?
Fear caused sweat to bead on his back, his pupils dilated, and he looked as if he were possessed. “You, you, you… Who exactly are you?”
Is it a person or a ghost?
After speaking, he directly reoriented the gun, aiming it at Bai Xi.
Bai Xi looked at the handgun before her, still utterly calm. “I am your great-great-grandmother!”
Who she was, was none of his business.
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Zheng pulled the trigger. But this time, the moment the trigger was pulled, the entire handgun exploded, leaving him bloody and mangled, letting out a piercing scream.
In the time it took for those two shots, all the thugs in the abandoned factory had been dealt with.
Some were dead, some injured, while the men in black were all unharmed. They clasped their fists and said, “Please instruct us, Eldest Miss.”
Bai Xi said indifferently, “Dispose of them at the Security Bureau.”
The men in black replied, “Yes!”
Han Rui looked at Bai Xi before him, his eyes filled with an indescribable shock and admiration.
This time, she had truly saved his life.
Bai Xi stepped forward and looked down at Han Rui. “Are you alright?”
Such injuries were nothing in the dark divisions, and nothing to her. But Han Rui looked so delicate, so fragile, as if he might die.
If only Han Mo were here.
They both had the surname Han, yet the difference was so vast.
Han Rui looked up, his face filled with pleasant surprise. When he looked at Bai Xi, she had already turned her head, her inner thoughts unreadable. But her words clearly showed she cared about him!
He managed a radiant, moving smile. “Miss Bai, I’m feeling a lot of pain, a lot of pain, a lot of pain.”
Bai Xi frowned and glanced at him again. Just as their eyes were about to meet, she immediately looked away.
Han Zheng had been about to make his move not long after she arrived, but Xuan Feng’s men were very close and had infiltrated early. From the recordings of Han Zheng and Han Rui’s conversation that she had obtained from Xuan Feng’s subordinates, she had heard everything.
She had wondered before why Han Rui knew so much about her, so many details. It turned out he hadn't investigated her, but… he had telepathy.
If she guessed correctly, his telepathy came from looking into people’s eyes.
When she had been unguarded and had looked into his eyes, he had likely learned the details of her innermost thoughts at that time.
And later, when she stopped looking at him, he no longer knew what she was thinking, nor the special significance of the blood-red jade bracelet to her.
“Where does it hurt?”
There were too many secrets hidden within Han Rui, so he could not die.
Han Rui saw that Bai Xi was still standing there, yet she was inquiring about his condition. He said, “My arm hurts, my chest hurts, and my head hurts. On the way here, Han Zheng had someone hit me with a truck. Just now, he kicked me several times, and I even vomited a lot of blood. I feel like I’m about to die.”
Hearing this, Bai Xi frowned slightly, but she still crouched down, intending to examine his condition.
The men in black, who were tying up the surviving thugs to send them away, couldn’t help but cast a sideways glance when they heard Han Rui’s words.
Was this man trying to act cute for the White God?
Damn, why hadn’t they thought of using this trick back then?
Wait, if they had used this trick… they exchanged glances, and goosebumps instantly erupted.
This wasn’t acting cute; it was a honey trap, assuming one was handsome and appeared fragile and pitiable. They didn't qualify.
Bai Xi pressed her hand against his abdomen. After confirming his ribs were intact, she said, “You seem fine. How about you stand up, and I’ll have someone take you to the hospital.”
Han Rui savored the gentle touch of Bai Xi’s fingers as they brushed against his body, a stark contrast to her earlier actions. It was much gentler. “Miss Bai, I feel a bit dizzy and can’t stand up. Could you help me?”
Bai Xi frowned.
Was this man really that fragile? How pathetic!
Perhaps she should call someone to carry him to the hospital.
