Chapter 1724: Chapter 1396: It Turns Out, It’s His Family! (Part 2) Seeing the two children surrounded like stars and protected like treasures, the couple’s faces immediately turned pale with fright. “These two bad guys almost kidnapped us!” Xiao Yao yelled at the bodyguards, “If it weren’t for my quick thinking, if it weren’t for someone rescuing us, they would have succeeded! Think about it, if Charlie had been successfully kidnapped by them, what would be the consequences for all of you!” The bodyguards all turned pale, their eyes filled with alarm. That would be a severe dereliction of duty. If held accountable, losing their jobs would be the least of their worries! Instantly, everyone gritted their teeth and glared at the couple. “Oh, just now was so dangerous, so terrifying! You don’t even know, Charlie was injured because of them!” Xiao Yao shouted, “I can’t handle it; just talking about it scares me. Our young hearts have been traumatized. Now, we two children need to stay in the car for a while. As for them… you deal with it!” Under the fierce gaze of the numerous bodyguards, the couple looked in terror at Xiao Yao, their faces full of disbelief, as if saying, “Are you the devil?” Xiao Yao took Charlie and headed towards a bulletproof business car under the escort of the bodyguards. Even with the car door closed, they could still faintly hear the screams. “Xiao Yao, isn’t this a bit too much?” Charlie couldn’t help but ask. “What’s wrong with it? Don’t you know how worried everyone was? You almost got kidnapped, so naturally, they hate those two people.” Xiao Yao replied as if it were the most obvious thing, completely forgetting that the reason those bodyguards were worried was that Charlie had disappeared from their sight. And the reason Charlie was out of their sight was also because of her trick… At the moment, the little girl sat in the car, propping her chin, blinking her big eyes, thinking about Bai Xiaosheng and the other two who had left. “I wonder if we’ll have a chance to meet again.” Xiao Yao said gloomily. Bai Xiaosheng had just walked out of the alley and stepped onto the street, when he saw a row of black business cars speeding by, heading straight into the alley. “Bulletproof cars?” Lei Ying immediately noticed something unusual about the cars. Soon after, the noise of helicopter rotors followed, and Bai Xiaosheng and his companions watched as two helicopters also flew past. “Are they also going to pick them up?” Lin Weiwei said in disbelief. The bulletproof cars entering the alley were likely related to the two children. But the helicopters seemed a bit exaggerated. Could it be that the two children sneaked out, and their family reported it to the police, resulting in police helicopters? Bai Xiaosheng glanced back at the alley and said calmly, “No matter what, they’re safe now.” “Let’s go.” Bai Xiaosheng waved to the other two. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance and followed him. As they were walking, Lin Weiwei suddenly quickened her pace to walk alongside Bai Xiaosheng, unable to hold back a guess, “Xiaosheng, that little girl just now has an extraordinary identity. To have such a security detail, could she be related to that prominent family around here!” An Asian little girl with an exceptional status… a local Huaxia prominent family… It all seemed too coincidental! Bai Xiaosheng said indifferently, “What does it matter if she is connected or not? Whether she comes from a wealthy family or an ordinary one, if there’s danger, I will save her. Whether she has a prestigious status or an ordinary one, I won’t have any ulterior motives towards a child.” Lin Weiwei thought for a moment and then smiled, “You’re right.” Lei Ying also nodded with a smile. He liked Bai Xiaosheng’s character; saving people purely for the sake of saving, with no hidden agendas, simply because he happened to be there and wanted to help, not driven by interests. “Let’s continue shopping.” Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand with a smile. Lin Weiwei responded with a smile and resumed the shopping mode. That afternoon, the three of them enjoyed a good time shopping, eating, and playing. Seeing there was still over an hour left until their appointment with Soruns, they returned to the hotel. The three of them went to their rooms separately, took showers, changed clothes, and met up in the hotel café. After chatting for a while, Soruns’s call came, and his car arrived downstairs. It was five in the afternoon, even earlier than their initial appointment time. Bai Xiaosheng and the others went downstairs and smoothly met with Soruns. The three of them still took two separate cars to the location of the prominent Huaxia family. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe.net On the way, Soruns again told Bai Xiaosheng about the family. The family was involved in finance, mining, the press, real estate, and had businesses and numerous companies on several continents, truly a top-tier family! “Although not on par with our Zhenbei Group, they are considered to be on the same level!” Soruns assessed their status. “And how do they compare with Mr. Soruns’s family?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile. Soruns smiled and candidly admitted, “Not much difference, though they might have a slight edge. But ultimately, they’re not looking to cooperate with my family, rather with the European division I manage. The face they give my family isn’t actually that much either.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded. Even for someone like Soruns, it would require some effort if Bai Xiaosheng wanted to negotiate cooperation with them through Soruns’s introduction. “What’s the family’s surname?” Bai Xiaosheng asked. After talking for so long, he still didn’t know the other’s surname. “It’s Luo,” said Soruns. Bai Xiaosheng nodded. As they spoke, their car had been driving in the Chinatown area for half an hour. The lights outside the car window had somehow become bright, almost as bright as day. Even Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but look over. “It’s the birthday of the old gentleman from the Luo Family. The entire district will be lit up until late at night. The city government approved it,” Soruns explained. Bai Xiaosheng nodded. Even London City Government granted permission; that’s power! Under the brilliant lights, this architecture gave Bai Xiaosheng the feeling of being in Huaxia. Uniform green tiles and white walls, imposing and orderly, very pleasing to the eye. To turn this part of Chinatown into this appearance is truly amazing! “Actually, I really Huaxia-style architecture. I even bought a few houses in Huaxia,” Soruns couldn’t help but praise while looking out the window, “When I get old, I’ll retire in Huaxia!” “Mr. Soruns is still so young, that will probably take many years,” Bai Xiaosheng said. Soruns laughed heartily. Before long, the road ahead suddenly became somewhat congested. Luxurious cars lined up, moving slowly. “There are quite a few people here to celebrate today,” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but say, “With so many people, is it suitable to talk business today?” Soruns looked ahead, smiling, “Don’t worry! These guests are not going to the same place as us. They will only have banquets in the outer courtyard, naturally hosted by the Luo Family. We can go to the inner courtyard; not many have the privilege to go there!” Bai Xiaosheng nodded. The “outer courtyard” and “inner courtyard” Soruns mentioned made Bai Xiaosheng think of a large compound. But when they continued to drive forward, Bai Xiaosheng realized that the cars ahead all turned right into another area with a huge archway at the entrance. They, along with very few vehicles, continued forward. Along the way, on one side of the road, was a long wall that seemed endless. Was that the Luo Family’s “outer courtyard” just now? And now to the “inner courtyard”? Even Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but be a bit astonished, looking at the long wall inside, feeling this side was like a city! Is this even possible? Bai Xiaosheng guessed this area was no longer a city but someone’s private estate! Finally, the car Bai Xiaosheng and the others were in parked in front of a massive courtyard gate. A servant came over to open the car door. The moment Bai Xiaosheng got out, his attention was drawn to the “inner courtyard” entrance. The gate was huge and grand, with impressive stone sculptures on either side. “Mr. Soruns, you finally made it. Come, come, please inside!” Before Bai Xiaosheng could take a closer look, Soruns, who had gotten out of the car, was already warmly welcomed by the Luo Family. However, that voice immediately caught Bai Xiaosheng’s attention, making him look over. The voice sounded familiar… “I also brought a guest with me; I’ve already informed Mr. Luo, it’s this one here!” Soruns smilingly said to the young man in front of him, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng. The young man smiled and looked over, just in time to lock eyes with Bai Xiaosheng. Both of them were momentarily stunned. “It’s you!” the other said in surprise. Bai Xiaosheng was equally surprised, “It’s you!” Standing in front of Soruns was none other than Luo Danlun! Previously, he had bought the “Whisper” purple clay teapot, presented it to the Wei Family, and showed interest in Xuelian, someone considered almost a rival to Bai Xiaosheng. His grandfather, Luo Yuefeng, was also an old friend of Wei Tianhe from the Wei Family. Bai Xiaosheng was incredulous! Unexpectedly, this Luo Family turned out to be Luo Danlun’s family!
