"So, why was that guy so terrified of you?"

After arriving at the airport, while the others were busy with check-in procedures, Liu Rulan finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

To be honest, she truly believed in Xiao He's abilities, but seeing everyone on the verge of a fight only for Xiao He to step up and subdue the enemy in one move—leaving the other side not even daring to let out a peep—she was indeed curious about the story behind it.

Lao Qi's lips were unexpectedly sealed; he even held back information from her, his Agent. Thus, she could only ask the person involved, Xiao He.

"Oh, it's actually nothing much. After I went back, I just sent him a separate PDF written by an AI, telling him to keep his mouth shut and not blow this matter out of proportion. Then he became like that."

"What was written in that PDF?"

"Um, nothing much really, just some criminal records I happened to collect while tracking him down..."

Xiao He thought for a moment and then continued, "I didn't look at the details carefully, but I caught a glimpse when the AI was summarizing—it turns out the online memes about underlings sleeping with the boss's wife have a basis in reality. I thought it was just a joke. That guy is so chubby; what on earth did the boss's wife see in him?"

Liu Rulan: "...I don't think you 'happened' to collect it at all."

It was actually very intentional.

Xiao He gave a sheepish laugh. "So, are you interested in this guy's gossip? I'll send you a copy later."

"Forget it, that's really not necessary."

Liu Rulan rejected him instantly.

She didn't want her eyes scorched by someone else's scandalous drama, nor did she want her worldview reconstructed in the process.

Xiao He shrugged. "That's a pity then."

This brief conversation soon ended as Chadley, who had specifically come to see them off, walked over to formally bid farewell to Xiao He and the others.

Knowing that Liu Rulan and the group had encountered trouble on their way back last time, Chadley had personally accompanied the bodyguard team to see Xiao He and the others to the airport. It could be said he was very thorough.

Xiao He expressed his gratitude to Chadley once again.

"It's no problem. I hope we can continue to cooperate next time you come to the US."

"Naturally, I certainly wouldn't miss the chance."

After finishing his exchange with Chadley, Xiao He checked in with the bodyguard team that had escorted them.

To be honest, they were worthy of being an experienced international team. Xiao He was very satisfied with the series of response measures the bodyguards had taken after the incident today.

Even when he mentioned needing cash, the bodyguard team had been carrying a suitcase of money with them at all times to prepare for emergencies, so they were able to provide immediate positive feedback to Xiao He's request.

Besides that, they had many other security measures and response strategies. If Xiao He hadn't stepped in to deal with Moses first, Moses likely wouldn't have gained any advantage with these people around.

It could be described as being comprehensive in every aspect.

As the employer, Xiao He could definitely give them a five-star review.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. I hope you can keep everything that happened during this period confidential. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will invite you to handle my security work again..."

"Certainly, sir. This is our duty!"

The lead bodyguard captain nodded very seriously, spoke a few words with Liu Rulan, and then stood to the side again, continuing to hold his post until the very last moment.

Only after confirming the employer had officially boarded the plane and their personal safety was guaranteed would they officially withdraw and leave.

Xiao He couldn't help but marvel once more.

"Are you very satisfied with them?"

Liu Rulan glanced over, then said thoughtfully, "While poaching them to come back to China might be a bit difficult, spending more money should make it not too much of a problem."

Xiao He immediately refused: "That's really not necessary!"

If there was work abroad next time, he could indeed contact this bodyguard team, but if they were in China, Xiao He really didn't think it was warranted.

Spending a large sum of money for that was completely unnecessary; domestic public security was much better than it was out here.

Xiao He was determined to maintain his frugal image!

Liu Rulan sneered: "Look at how petty you are!"

And he was supposed to be the boss!

Just this?

As if having a psychic connection, Xiao He immediately sneezed: "Achoo! Sister Liu, were you secretly badmouthing me in your head?!"

His nose had just tickled; it was definitely her!

Liu Rulan shrugged, her expression exceptionally sincere: "I didn't!"

Xiao He didn't believe her.

But soon Xiao Chen and Lao Qi returned.

"We can officially go in {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} to wait for the flight now!"

As Xiao Chen spoke, he waved to Chadley to say goodbye.

Xiao He didn't pursue the topic further.

Soon, the plane took off—

...

Qingming Festival in China is a day to express grief and commemorate ancestors.

But abroad, this day was not as important to others, nor did they have such customs.

However, some people still solemnly recorded this day and set it as a special date.

Because 'fast car shadow 7' would also be released in theaters globally on this day.

And the audience had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Ban Zheyu had prepared early, waiting in the living room fully dressed.

But his sister was still sitting in front of the vanity mirror, carefully sculpting her eyebrows.

Over twenty minutes later, Ban Zheyu finally cautiously issued his first urge: "Sis, Brother Xiao flew back yesterday. Even if you get all dressed up with makeup to attend today's roadshow event, you won't see him in person! Yesterday I asked if you wanted to go to the airport to see him off, but you said you didn't want to meet in private. Why are you making things so complicated?"

"Whether I see Brother Xiao or not, putting on makeup when going out is my basic etiquette! Just shut up and stay quiet!"

Ban Wenyue dabbed some powder and rolled her eyes at Ban Zheyu. "Besides, how can I not be a bit solemn when going to see Brother Xiao's movie?! Even to see him on the big screen, I have to prepare seriously!"

Ban Zheyu:...I really don't understand you people.

Thus, more than an hour later, Ban Zheyu brought Ban Wenyue to the cinema, barely making it in time.

Fortunately, there were many people at the scene. While queuing, Ban Zheyu couldn't help but complain: "Sis, how exactly do you manage to leave in a rush every time but still arrive at the venue right on the dot?"

He had already prepared to be stopped and denied entry after being late.

Ban Wenyue gave a snort. "Well, naturally, I have my own way of survival~"

Ban Zheyu: "Impressive, impressive..."

While they were queuing, Ban Zheyu suddenly heard the voices of others discussing on the other side.

"Sigh, it's really strange. The cinemas here in the city center still have tickets, but the tickets in our neighborhood were sold out long ago."

"Huh? For real? Isn't your neighborhood very remote? People there don't usually like watching movies, do they?"

"Who knows! But the ticket seller told me privately that it seems like the Gang in our neighborhood bought out all the tickets for the earliest screenings at their cinema."

"Hahaha, they must be pulling your leg! Would a Gang actually watch movies?"

"Oh, I don't know, anyway that's what the ticket seller said."

"If that's the case, the gossip about Xiao He being a Gang young master can be carried back to China by marketing accounts again. They'll say even the Gang supports Xiao He's movie, confirming Brother Xiao's identity as a Gang young master! Hahaha, it's just too funny!"

The people chatting immediately burst into laughter.

Ban Wenyue was speechless listening to this, yet her foolish brother actually nodded very seriously. With a look of total conviction, he leaned in and whispered in her ear: "Sis, this is true. I saw it with my own eyes!"

Back then, it was Brother Xiao who had brought his Gang member subordinates to the scene to save him!

Brother Xiao isn't just some Gang young master; he's a Gang boss!

Ban Wenyue: "...Watch fewer marketing accounts, don't let them rot your brain."
