Chapter 2971: Chapter 2056: Encountering a Fierce Character

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the burning car in front of him, his eyes flashing slightly.

This area, though adjacent to the notorious most evil district of Ganande, shouldn’t witness such a terrible event in broad daylight. This scene is overly dramatic.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Blanche beside him, noticing she was exchanging winks and nods with her bodyguard and assistant Ronnie, who gave a slight shake of his head.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately frowned.

Actually, he had already sensed Blanche’s ulterior "intentions" when she invited him for a meal.

This intent was too obvious, with traces everywhere, constantly alerting Bai Xiaosheng.

For instance, Ganande has plenty of places with good food, and even if one doesn’t want to dine in a large restaurant, there are plenty of small, safe, and unique spots. Why insist on coming to such a dangerous place?

Additionally, Blanche’s two female guards knew they were coming to a dangerous place, yet didn’t discourage her and drove directly here. This was clearly abnormal; their safety awareness was too poor. This is hardly like someone from the Rapid Reaction Force or a security company.

Moreover, when Bai Xiaosheng got out of the car, he noticed the eyes cast around him. Though they seemed intimidating, there was no malice.

At the time, he even noticed Mina and Ronnie making covert signals in different directions...

Considering what he had thought and seen along the way, Bai Xiaosheng roughly guessed Blanche’s intentions.

It’s simply bringing him here, either to scare him for personal satisfaction—a possibility, though petty—or merely a pure "sickness."

Blanche wasn’t like that.

Another possibility was to scare him and then use her guards to save him from peril, making him immeasurably grateful...

This was a classic "hero saving the beauty" plot.

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng sat in the restaurant, he understood, but didn’t expose it.

After coming outside and seeing the car on fire, Bai Xiaosheng initially thought it was an exaggerated expression.

But then observing Blanche and Ronnie’s furtive expressions made Bai Xiaosheng realize that something indeed went wrong.

Some problems even they hadn’t anticipated.

Just then, a group of people ran towards the restaurant.

At a glance, those were the quirky-looking people standing by the wall earlier, but leading the pack was Blanche’s driver Mina.

"Mina, she’s okay!" Blanche couldn’t help but brighten her eyes, breathing a sigh of relief.

Beside her, Ronnie looked alertly at the people seemingly chasing Mina, quickly drawing out a Tiger Claw Knife defensively.

"What are those people up to..." Blanche also sensed things were amiss and couldn’t help whispering urgently to Ronnie, "Aren’t they the ones we hired..."

Ronnie quickly gave a signal, glancing at Bai Xiaosheng.

Blanche immediately shut up.

Bai Xiaosheng seemed entirely oblivious to their conversation, merely looking "surprised" at those people.

In fact, with Bai Xiaosheng’s hearing, there was no way he hadn’t heard.

Turns out, they really staged a drama for me, although the situation exceeded expectations... Bai Xiaosheng thought silently.

Since Blanche wanted to play, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mind playing along...

In a blink, Mina arrived near Bai Xiaosheng and the others, gasping, and urgently said, "Run..."

"Is it these people who want..." Ronnie said in a deep voice.

Before Mina could answer, everyone heard the roar of motorcycles.

This noise, at least a hundred motorcycles, and dust billowed far behind, faintly accompanied by whistling sounds.

A white man with a "Hualian" tattoo rushed near, shouting, "Run! My gang’s nemesis is here!"

Hearing this, Blanche jumped in fright, Ronnie couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Only they knew that arranging things here required the nod of the local leader.

Plus, someone always had to play the villain.

Rather than having bodyguards play the role, which wouldn’t fit, it’s better to hire a local gang. As a result, their rivals showed up...

What was initially thrilling and harmless has now turned dangerously real, truly maddening!

"Back to the restaurant!" Ronnie decisively said.

Given the situation, they must hide away to avoid being caught in the conflict.

Their car was burned; clearly, when Mina was interacting with the hired hands, the rival faction spotted them and thought they were some big shots. In such circumstances, clearing up wasn’t viable, evading the danger is the priority.

Everyone was about to return to the restaurant, only to find its doors tightly shut, with metal panels inside, fortifying it like a bunker, blocking them outside.

The restaurant here, seemingly battle-hardened, had already become quite shrewd.

In moments of dazedness, along with the roar of motorcycles, countless bikes charged over.

The motorcycles, two people per bike, with the driver focusing on riding, while the passenger swung bats, screaming sharply, responsible for attacking.

The people Blanche hired came for a drill, hence they were unarmed, and promptly knocked over by the motorbike riders.

If anyone did muster a counterattack, it only summoned brutal beatings; the "enemies" were simply too numerous.

The scene momentarily turned into a swirl of dust and smoke, cries and screams incessantly ringing out.

The people following Mina silently slipped away.

Mina and Ronnie’s faces turned gloomy as they flanked Blanche and Bai Xiaosheng, tensely watching the chaotic scene ahead. If worse came to worst, even if they had to go all out, they’d fulfill their duties as protectors.
