"Xiao He, quick, something happened, come to the Hospital with me!"

As soon as he saw Xiao He, Jamis slowed his pace, but his tone became increasingly urgent.

"What happened?"

Xiao He froze for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned icy. A dangerous chill, accompanied by a bone-piercing wind, swept sinisterly over Jamis's skin, making him stop in his tracks and involuntarily shiver.

But when he looked at Xiao He's face again, he found the young man's expression was normal, and there was no terrifying aura around him. That moment just now seemed like a mere illusion.

Jamis stopped what he was about to say, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Xiao He with uncertainty, a different light glinting in his eyes behind the lenses.

"What exactly is going on?"

Xiao He frowned, looking at Jamis with some anxiety, wondering why the other man had suddenly stopped talking.

"Oh, right, it's Manager Liu. They ran into some trouble and are at the Hospital now."

Jamis pulled back his complicated thoughts and spoke quickly.

"Who is injured?"

Xiao He asked anxiously while turning his head to look for a car. Finally, a staff member walked over and handed back the car keys Xiao He had just returned: "Use this for now, we'll do the final inspection here later."

"Thank you."

Xiao He didn't refuse the kind offer. Taking the keys, he signaled for Jamis to join him: "Tell me on the way."

"Okay." Jamis didn't hesitate and decisively got into the car, explaining to Xiao He, "Manager Liu said that on their way back, someone smashed their car window to rob them. Your assistant's arm was cut by glass, but everyone else is mostly fine."

"A robbery on the road?"

Xiao He frowned, never expecting such a thing to happen nowadays.

"Yeah, the Biker Gangs around here are becoming more and more rampant."

Jamis nodded, his face showing some regret. "I should have warned you. Faces like yours are indeed easy targets around here right now."

That was just the general environment.

Xiao He gripped the steering wheel and said nothing more, only pressing harder on the accelerator.

...

The drive was fast and furious.

In just ten minutes, Xiao He and Jamis arrived at the Hospital.

As soon as Xiao He stopped the car, he walked straight into the building. Jamis, who had just experienced a thrilling high-speed chase, was dazed for a moment before finally recovering. He struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt, hurriedly grabbed the car keys, and followed him out.

Xiao He followed the signs to the corresponding department corridor. Xiao Chen happened to be walking out into the hallway, talking to Liu Rulan.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, the two of them looked over together, meeting Xiao He's worried gaze.

"Brother Xiao!"

As soon as Xiao Chen spoke, his voice cracked; he was clearly quite shaken. Liu Rulan, on the other hand, was in better shape. With her hands in her pockets, she maintained a bit of her elegant and calm posture. She first nodded to Jamis, the secretary behind Xiao He, to express her thanks.

"What happened? Where are you hurt?"

Xiao He strode up to Xiao Chen and began looking him up and down.

Xiao Chen was about the same age as Xiao He, a young man himself. Usually following Sister Liu around, he had never encountered such a "dangerous" scene. Facing Xiao He's inquiry, his emotions flared, and with the phantom pain still in his wound, his eyes turned red. He immediately held up his bandaged arm to complain to Xiao He: "My hand got cut by glass, I just got two stitches. Sister Liu's wrist is also sprained; they just sprayed it with medicine and stabilized it."

Having just encountered such a harrowing event, who could resist talking about it?

He immediately began recounting the situation they had faced in a torrent of words: "Brother Xiao, you have no idea how scary it was! They followed us on a motorcycle, and then when the road got a bit crowded, they chased our car, smashed the window, and started frantically grabbing for our bags..."

At that time, Sister Liu's group was driving normally on the way back at a very fast speed, never expecting such a thing to happen.

So when the car window was smashed by a stone thrown by the two robbers, Xiao Chen was completely dazed and out of it.

Lao Qi was responsible for driving and couldn't free himself to fight back. He didn't dare swerve the wheel to intentionally hit the two robbers either, fearing he might kill someone. In the end, Liu Rulan made a split-second decision and threw a large bag from the seat at the person driving the motorcycle, choosing to pay for their safety.

Sure enough, the two robbers must have observed which bag in the group was the most expensive and valuable. After Liu Rulan threw the bag containing the camera equipment out, the two of them stopped chasing. They dodged the falling bag and immediately turned back to pick it up.

It was only then that everyone realized Xiao Chen's arm had been cut by the flying glass, and because Liu Rulan had used too much force in her haste to throw the bag, she had sprained her wrist, causing a large swollen patch on the back of her hand.

So Lao Qi hurriedly drove them to the nearest Hospital for treatment.

"Sister Liu is injured too? Why didn't you say so on the phone earlier?"

After hearing Xiao Chen's account, Xiao He immediately looked at Liu Rulan, his face full of anger.

—No wonder she had been keeping her hands in her pockets!

He thought to himself that Sister Liu didn't usually try to act cool like that.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Liu Rulan could only cooperate by showing her bandaged splint, a slight look of embarrassment on her face: "Uh, it's mainly because I accidentally twisted it, it's not a big deal."

The whole thing was actually quite frustrating.

There were three of them in a large Nanny Van, and Lao Qi was an experienced bodyguard. The other side only had two people on a flimsy motorcycle that would flip if touched. They hadn't noticed if those two were carrying weapons, but the end result was that their stuff was gone and two people were injured.

If this got back home, Liu Rulan didn't even want to imagine how others would laugh at her.

Seeing Liu Rulan's hand, Xiao Chen also felt some self-reproach: "I shouldn't have brought so much equipment out, otherwise we wouldn't have been targeted."

Xiao He shook his head: "If you want to put it that way, I'm the one who asked you to help with the filming, otherwise you wouldn't have brought so much gear. By your logic, I should be the one to blame."

Xiao Chen lowered his head and said nothing, clearly in a bad mood.

Xiao He didn't comfort him further. His face was still sour as he looked around and continued asking with a dark expression: "What about Lao Qi? Is he hurt?"

"He's fine, he went to handle the paperwork. A few police officers came by just now to ask about the situation."

Liu Rulan explained on Lao Qi's behalf: "He's also very self-reproachful about this. He was very vigilant the whole way, and anyone who got close to us was blocked by him. It's my fault for not arranging for more people this time. He had to drive and protect us alone, and in that situation, there was no way he could deal with those two guys."

After all, being in a foreign country, many things were inevitably restricted. In that situation, she didn't dare let Lao Qi stop the car for fear of other accomplices being around, nor could she really let Lao Qi just swerve the wheel and send those two flying.

And to be honest, that stretch of road was considered a busy area with other vehicles passing by and occasional traffic jams. ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) It was a place with many people, yet they were robbed in broad daylight on the main road. Other cars around them drove normally, turning a blind eye to the incident, and no one stepped forward to provide help or evidence afterward... It sounded like a dream when told.

No one wanted such an accident to happen, and no one had expected it.

So afterward, as the only one uninjured and the one whose job was to be a bodyguard, Lao Qi felt very guilty, though Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen never blamed him.

"I know."

Xiao He took a deep breath. "I'm just going to find him to understand the situation. You two stay here and rest properly for me."

Then he turned around and very solemnly requested Jamis: "I'll have to trouble Mr. Jamis to look after the two of them for me. I'm going to find my driver to coordinate the subsequent work."

"Alright."

Jamis decisively nodded in agreement.

So Xiao He turned to leave.

"Xiao He!"

The female Agent behind him hesitated and suddenly called out to him again. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Hmm?"

Xiao He turned his head and looked at Liu Rulan.

Looking at Sister Liu again, he realized that her clothes today were very plain compared to usual. The only major difference was that her hairstyle was exceptionally messy today. It seemed that although she hadn't said anything on the surface, she must have been quite frightened by today's events.

Liu Rulan looked at Xiao He, whose aura had changed abruptly since they met just now, and hesitated to speak.

This guy probably hasn't looked in a mirror! His expression was truly terrifyingly dark, as if he might go find someone to settle the score with a knife at any moment.

However, Liu Rulan also knew that Xiao He always acted with a sense of propriety.

In the end, the woman's mouth opened and closed, and after a long while, she only managed to say: "Stay safe."
