The five men looked at each other, and then the skinny one, who was the more shrewd, stepped forward and tentatively dragged the person on the ground while secretly glancing at Xiao He's expression.
Xiao He stared at them with a half-smile.
Then the skinny guy understood.
He picked up a baseball bat from the ground and thumped the person on the ground several times. Then he directed the others to drag the person into a deeper corner, like carrying a dead pig.
In the blink of an eye, the group disappeared into the shadows.
Ban Zheyu was dumbfounded.
"How about you? Are you alright? Stand up and walk around a bit?"
Xiao He then turned his attention to Ban Zheyu's situation.
"I'm fine."
Ban Zheyu's mind was still a little dazed. He only remembered that he seemed to have been almost kidnapped, and then when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he seemed to have been rescued by Brother Xiao.
Looking at the dreamlike scene before him, Ban Zheyu pinched his thigh and grinned at Xiao He: "Wow, Brother Xiao, so you really are the heir to a gangster's scheme?"
He thought what those people on the internet were saying was all fake, just teasing foreigners, but now that he sees it, it's actually true!
The five guys who were with Brother Xiao earlier were obviously gangsters, yet they obeyed him completely! That's incredible!
Ban Zheyu used to think that other fans were exaggerating when they praised Xiao Ge, but now he sees that he truly deserves the title!
Ban Zheyu burst into tears, grabbed Xiao He's leg, and cried out, "Brother Xiao, you're my brother forever! I swear I'll be your die-hard fan!"
Xiao He: "..."
...
At the hotel, Liu Rulan, having finished her work, finally put down her phone and glanced at her watch.
"How long has Xiao He been gone?"
She asked Xiao Chen.
"It must have been more than an hour."
Xiao Chen immediately replied, "Should we call Brother Xiao?"
"Ask him what's going on, maybe he's been cornered by fans somewhere."
"good--"
Xiao Chen dialed the phone, and after a moment of silence, looked at Sister Liu with a complicated expression.
"Sister Liu, something seems to have happened..."
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Liu Rulan felt a twitch in her temple.
She rubbed her temples and took a deep breath: "Speak."
"Brother Xiao is at the police station now. It seems they arrested a kidnapper and a few thugs."
Liu Rulan found this entirely expected and immediately turned to leave, saying, "...Tell me the location!"
A few minutes later, Liu Rulan and Jemmis arrived at the police station.
Jamie took out his business card and showed it to the police officer. Almost immediately, they met Xiao He and Ban Zheyu.
In fact, Xiao He was perfectly fine; he was simply accompanying Ban Zheyu. Beside Ban Zheyu stood a middle-aged man who was asking about Ban Zheyu's condition with concern.
Upon seeing Xiao He, Liu Rulan first sized him up before letting out a sigh of relief. She then walked up to Xiao He and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Xiao He spread his hands, looking completely innocent, and said, "It seems that a group of thugs and a kidnapper had an accidental conflict and started fighting. I happened to be passing by and saw that the kidnapper had kidnapped a Chinese student, so I called the police. It has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by."
Liu Rulan: "...Okay, I understand."
The more you emphasize that it's not a problem, the more it actually is!
She glared at Xiao He, but didn't press the matter. Instead, she looked at Jemmis apologetically and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Mr. Jemmis this time."
Jamies remained calm and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a small problem."
