Seeing that the people had left, Bai Xiruo hurriedly ran to Gu Hongxun's side: "Hongxun, it really is you."
Gu Hongxun clutched his chest, which had been kicked, and sat up against the wall.
What are you doing here?
"I met my friend at a bar around here. As soon as I got out of the car, I heard a fight coming from the alley. I was curious, so I turned around to take a look. I didn't expect that the person they were beating up was you. Do you know those people? Why did they beat you up?"
"Don't know them, they're a bunch of lunatics."
"Let me help you up first. You're injured and need to go to the hospital immediately."
Gu Hongxun gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No... we can't go to the hospital."
Bai Xiruo's eyes were filled with tears as she anxiously said, "Your injuries are so severe, how can we be sure if your internal organs have been damaged if you don't go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Gu Hongxun, enduring the pain, gasped for breath and said, "I'm fine. Did you drive here?"
"Yes, I drove here myself."
Gu Hongxun realized that he shouldn't drive after drinking, and if he took a taxi at this time, the outcome would be no different from going to the hospital if the taxi driver recognized him.
As idols, once news of fights and brawls is published, regardless of the truth, the media will only write about it in the most sensational and misleading way.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot go to the hospital while covered in injuries.
"Would it be convenient for you to give me a ride home?"
Bai Xiruo nodded immediately: "I'll take you."
Gu Hongxun glanced at Bai Xiruo. Although he no longer had that infatuation with her, he was still very grateful that she had appeared in time today.
Where is your friend?
"You're so badly injured, how can I be in the mood to go on a date with my friends? I'll call him later and tell him."
Bai Xiruo was already choking up. She was already beautiful, and when she cried, her face was covered in tears. What man could bear to see her like that?
Gu Hongxun stretched out his bloodied hand, intending to wipe away the tear stains on Bai Xiruo's cheek, but seeing the blood and dirt on his hand, he ultimately withdrew it.
Bai Xiruo carefully helped Gu Hongxun into the car, then suddenly remembered something and looked down at her wrist.
"Hongxun, wait for me in the car. I left my bracelet in the alley. I'll go look for it."
Gu Hongxun's face was pale, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
"Is that bracelet important? If it's not too important, then forget about it. I'm worried that if those people come back, it won't be safe for you, a girl, to go there alone."
Bai Xiruo bit her lip lightly: "That's the bracelet you gave me. I've always worn it on my wrist. This bracelet is very important to me, and I absolutely can't leave it here. I'll be right back."
Gu Hongxun was deeply moved; she actually valued the bracelet he had given her so much.
"Pick your phone and call me immediately if anything happens."
"Don't worry." Bai Xiruo smiled gently.
Watching Bai Xiruo turn into the alley, Gu Hongxun moved to a more comfortable position and closed his eyes.
The pain throughout my body actually made my brain incredibly clear.
Just now at the bar, he came out to get some fresh air because he didn't want to hear Shu Ningxuan and the others badmouthing Bai Qianmo, and coupled with his inexplicable feelings for Bai Qianmo, he was in a bad mood.
As a result, they ran into that group of thugs.
Bai Xiruo's sudden appearance made him realize that he could no longer harbor inappropriate thoughts about Bai Qianmo. She was his seventh uncle's girlfriend, and would likely become his seventh aunt in the future.
He knew his uncle's personality too well. If his uncle found out what he was thinking, he was afraid his uncle would kill him.
Perhaps he still harbors feelings for Bai Xiruo, after all, he did really like her when they were filming "The Phoenix's Journey".
He believed that as long as he shifted his attention to Bai Xiruo, he would soon be able to put aside any lingering thoughts he had about Bai Qianmo.

Bai Xiruo arrived in the alley, and the group of thugs who had fled in panic came from the other end of the alley.
"Miss Bai, we did a pretty good job, didn't we?" The fat man walked smugly up to Bai Xiruo with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Bai Xiruo took out a check from her purse. The fat man took it, glanced at the amount, and smiled with satisfaction.
“We gave you a deposit of 100,000 before, and with the remaining 100,000, it will be 200,000. Gu Hongxun will definitely send someone to look for you afterwards. After you get this money, don’t show up at 24G Bar again recently, understand?”
The fat man chuckled: "Don't worry, we don't want to eat free jail food. We won't be in this area for the next few months, making sure that kid can't find us."
"Now that things are settled, we brothers will be leaving. If Miss Bai needs anything similar in the future, please feel free to contact me, Fatty Wang. I guarantee I'll handle everything perfectly."
Bai Xiruo glanced at Fatty Wang expressionlessly: "Wait a minute!"
Fatty Wang looked at Bai Xiruo with a puzzled expression: "Miss Bai, is there anything else you need?"
“Use your dagger to cut my arm.”
Fatty Wang frowned: "This..."
"Stop talking nonsense, just row." Time was of the essence, and she was worried that Gu Hongxun would get out of the car and come looking for her if he couldn't wait any longer.
Bai Xiruo deftly rolled up her sleeves and handed them to Fatty Wang.
"Miss Bai, after this knife was used, you won't cause us any trouble afterwards, will you?" Fatty Wang was still a little worried. Hitting a person might only get you a few days in jail, but once a knife was used, it would constitute a criminal case.
Although he was uneducated, he often walked along the river and had a basic understanding of the law.
"Don't worry, since I let you row, I won't cause you any trouble. Hurry up."
