Just then, a man walked in from outside the factory gate, a smile on his face. "Han Rui, let me help you."
The man was none other than Chu Xiao.
Bai Xi had driven Chu Xiao's car, but to prevent him from encountering danger, to avoid alerting the enemy, and even to prevent him from becoming a burden, she had left him outside.
Seeing how the people from the dark division bowed to Bai Xi and respected and loved her, he knew... even if Bai Xi wasn't the influential figure his grandfather mentioned, her status in the dark division was definitely not low.
With good looks, a good figure, and power, such a good woman shouldn't be easily given to Han Rui. Moreover, from Han Rui's demeanor, it was clear he was deliberately acting weak.
Han Rui, this man, understood women best, and he wanted to learn from him in the future.
However, today, he couldn't let him use this injury as an excuse to get close to Bai Xi!
The moment Han Rui saw Chu Xiao, his beautiful phoenix-like eyes widened, and he stared intently at him, seeing through his true intentions. Without a doubt, Chu Xiao was here to steal his woman!
Before he could object, Chu Xiao had already walked in front of Han Rui and blocked him, smiling at Bai Xi with his somewhat roguish handsome face. "Miss Bai, you've worked hard today. My sister really likes Han Rui. He's practically my half-brother-in-law. I'll take him to the hospital."
Han Rui was slightly surprised.
What did Chu Xiao mean by this?
Not only did he forcibly pull him up and insist on taking him to the hospital, but he was also spouting nonsense!
"Chu Xiao, are you sick? What kind of relationship do I have with your sister? Don't talk nonsense..."
Chu Xiao's smile was not subtle at all, and when he laughed, it was radiant. "Han Rui, Chu Meng said she will only marry you. Although my sister is the apple of our Chu family's eye, my parents have some reservations about your reputation. But don't worry, I'll help you clear your name and support you as a friend!"
Inside: "Fulfilling my sister's wish and his, and benefiting the Han family's development. Grandpa and parents should both support this!"
Han Rui was shocked. "Chu Xiao, you shameless..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xiao pinched a piece of flesh on Han Rui's arm fiercely. The force was so great that it hurt Han Rui, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words and replace them with a grimace.
Chu Xiao looked at Bai Xi and said, "Miss Bai, please stay. I will take good care of my future brother-in-law."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, then after a pause, she said, "Alright."
She had originally intended to ask Han Rui about the Han family, but after hearing what he just said, she had to give up. On this matter today, he was also a victim, covered in injuries. There was no need to interrogate him at this moment. Wouldn't that make the dark division seem inhumane?
It was better to let him seek medical attention first.
Han Rui wanted to say more, but apart from his injuries, he was naturally no match for Chu Xiao, who enjoyed fitness. He could only be dragged away.
Bai Xi took a car from the dark division back to the hotel and heard the chatter of two girls.
The girl in shorts said, "Wow, wow, that man over there is so handsome!"
The girl in the long dress asked, "Who?"
The girl in shorts replied, "Him, the one in the black trench coat and glasses!"
The girl in the long dress exclaimed, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, I see him. He is indeed very handsome. Why have we been encountering so many handsome men at our hotel these days?"
The girl in shorts said, "Wait for me, I'm going to get his phone number."
After speaking, she ran over. When she returned, her face was covered with a proud smile.
The girl in the long dress asked, "Look at your lovesick face, did you get it? He seems quite well-behaved. Since you got his number, why don't you invite him to hang out with us? It would be nice to get to know him."
The girl in shorts shook her head, her smile unwavering.
The girl in the long dress frowned in confusion. "Are you okay? Are you crazy? Did you get his number or not?"
The girl in shorts pulled the girl in the long dress, saying excitedly, "The handsome guy didn't even look at me. He directly said he has a girlfriend. I flirted with him a few times, and he actually told me to respect myself!"
The girl in the long dress was speechless. "You're sick, to be so happy about this."
The girl in shorts looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Goodness, I've met a man who is both handsome and devoted to his girlfriend. It made me believe in love instantly."
The girl in the long dress also looked at the girl in shorts as if she were an idiot. "Maybe you're just not his type."
The girl in shorts snorted disdainfully. "So what? At least he's a decent man, much better than those who accept anyone and try to take advantage of them whether they're interested or not."
The girl in the long dress paused for a moment. "That's true."
As they spoke, they brushed past Bai Xi.
Due to her training in the dark division, Bai Xi's senses were sharper than ordinary people, so she naturally heard the conversation between the two girls clearly.
The handsome guy with glasses made her think of Han Mo again.
She had intended to call him a couple of days ago, but her brother had called her. By the time she finished the call, it was late, and she didn't want to disturb his sleep, so she didn't call.
Bai Xi looked up at the hotel clock. It was still early today, so she could call him.
With that thought, she looked down and dialed Han Mo's number. However, a familiar phone ringing sound came from not far away. She looked up and saw a familiar figure.
This person was none other than... Han Mo.
The call connected, and Han Mo's voice came from the other end: "Hello, Xi'er."
Bai Xi didn't speak, but watched his back.
Today, Han Mo was wearing a thin black trench coat. Even from behind, he looked tall and handsome.
She remained silent.
Han Mo stood still, listening to the quiet voice on the phone, and frowned slightly.
He was happy that Xi'er called him.
But why, after the call connected, was there no sound?
Had Xi'er encountered something? Or... was this call just a wrong number? Thinking of this, his brow furrowed even tighter, and he began to carefully distinguish the sounds coming from the other end of the line, wanting to identify her location through her voice. He spoke again with concern, "Xi'er, what's wrong?"
But in the next second, he was suddenly hugged from behind.
This embrace was familiar yet strange, but he didn't feel any resistance. On the contrary... he inexplicably felt joy, especially when he looked down and saw the familiar blood jade bracelet.
"Xi'er..."
His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously, his voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness, a mix of suppressed emotion and joy.
The joy of a longing fulfilled, the happiness of being embraced tightly by the person he loved.
