Chapter 812: Protect Bai Xifeng
CHAPTER 812: CHAPTER 812: PROTECT BAI XIFENG
"If you don’t have to get hurt, then follow us." The leader said.
The people tried to grab Bai Xifeng, but Bai Xifeng swiftly avoided them.
"It seems you want to get hurt." The leader narrowed her eyes.
He immediately signalled his men to attack Bai Xifeng. The innkeeper heard the commotion and took a look. He frowned as he saw the situation.
He immediately called one of the staff. He told the staff to go to the security department and report this incident. The staff nodded and used the back door to go to the security department.
The innkeeper went outside to protect Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng was their future mistress. If the lord knew that he had just watched the future mistress being attacked by others, the lord might kill him.
"Hey, what are you trying to do?" The innkeeper came out and shouted.
"Hey, don’t get involved. This has nothing to do with you." The leader said to the innkeeper.
"Of course, I have something to do with her. She is my guest. No one will get away with trying to injure my guest in front of Shanghai Inn." The innkeeper said.
"If you want to get involved, then don’t blame us later." The leader said.
The people were still trying to grab Bai Xifeng. The innkeeper kicked them and tried to protect Bai Xifeng. Seeing there was no progress, the leader decided to step forward. He attacked the innkeeper.
The attack hit the innkeeper. The innkeeper hissed in pain. However, he still refused to give up and stood in front of Bai Xifeng.
"You hurt innocent people just to get what you want." Bai Xifeng said coldly to the leader.
Bai Xifeng took out an elixir and gave it to the innkeeper. "Drink it. You will feel better."
The innkeeper took the elixir. Bai Xifeng stepped in front of the innkeeper.
"Don’t..." The innkeeper tried to talk.
"It’s fine. Everything will be fine." Bai Xifeng said, patting the innkeeper’s shoulder.
When Bai Xifeng turned to face the leader, her glare was so sharp. The leader immediately felt tight as he faced the girl.
"Stop!!!" Someone shouted.
There was a group of people who wore the same uniforms. Bai Xifeng remembered the uniform was the same with the people who threw that girl and his bodyguards.
"Where do you think you are, doing something like this in the board light?" One of the uniform men shouted.
"Sir, they are trying to bring me somewhere. I don’t know them." Bai Xifeng immediately told them.
"I can vouch for it. I am the innkeeper of this Shanghai Inn. She is my guest. When she steps out of the inn, they surround them, trying to drag them somewhere. It is I who sent someone to get you here." The innkeeper explained.
"So, who are you and why are you trying to kidnap this girl?" The man in the uniform asked.
The leader and his men were silent. They did not know what to say.
"Since you refuse to say anything, we will take you away." The man in the uniform said.
He sighed for his subordinates to get moving. The leader did not want to get caught. So, he tried to escape alone, leaving his men behind. However, the man in the uniform seemed to realise what the leader was trying to do. He moved faster to tackle the leader. The leader was no match for the man in the uniform. They were tied up and taken away.
Bai Xifeng thanked the man in the uniform. He just nodded and left. Bai Xifeng turned to the innkeeper.
"Thank you, Sir." Bai Xifeng said.
"It’s nothing. I just can not stay out when one of my guests is in danger." The innkeeper said.
"Drink the elixir. You will heal." Bai Xifeng said.
"Thank you, Misst... Young Lady." The innkeeper almost blurted out the word mistress.
The innkeeper opened the bottle. The rich fragrance came from the bottle. He drank the elixir. He immediately felt the effect. He even felt a lot better than before.
"Great. I am going out now." Bai Xifeng said before walking away.
This time, she wanted to explore the city during the night time. They probably had a lot of interesting things. She asked some people about it.
They told her that they had a night market at the 9th street. She should go and took a look. Bai Xifeng thanked the people and walked to the direction. Night market, they probably had a lot of night snack.
Bai Xifeng did not want to stand out and gain an unnecessary attention. So, she put on a veil. It was not too weird because a lot of girls who came to this night market wore the veil. So, she was not too outstanding.
When she arrived at the night market, she could see that there was a lot of stalls that sold the food. She wanted to try a lot of them. She had still not notice that there was some people who were watching her from far.
One of them were Jin Huan. There was something that attracted Jin Huan to keep watching her. And the problem was he did not know what.
"Sir..." One of the subordinates called out for Jin Huan.
Jin Huan turned around and asked. "What?"
"We are going to go and have some hotpot. Do you want to join us?" The subordinate asked.
