Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Solving Trouble
Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.
Bai Xiao asked cautiously.
"Who is it?"
After the incident with those bastards, Bai Xiao had heightened his vigilance. Although his special ability was healing, it wasn’t completely foolproof. Being reborn wasn’t easy; he had to be cautious about everything.
"Doctor Bai! I am Shao Ming, introduced by Jiang Shao."
These clues matched up, so Bai Xiao opened the door.
Standing outside was a young man, not exactly young compared to Bai Xiao, quite unremarkable, someone who wouldn’t stand out in a crowd, just an ordinary person who wouldn’t catch your eye.
"Please come in!"
Shao Ming was stunned when he saw Doctor Bai. Jiang Shao had asked him for help, and he had thought Doctor Bai would at least be a middle-aged woman in her forties, especially since anyone hearing about going to Myanmar would think it involved a lot of complicated grudges.
She looked like a college student, how could she be mixed up in these messy affairs?
Bai Xiao explained the task, to snatch Bai Mei from Xiaodao’s hands, just like that.
"When do we leave?"
It didn’t sound like a difficult mission, especially because a group of twenty-something people wasn’t a challenge for them, even if they had weapons, they wouldn’t be anything advanced.
It was just that the place these people were heading to was a bit tricky; it was a public area, and they couldn’t cause trouble at the public conference, which was protected by local forces. If you dared cause trouble, they dared to wipe you out.
"It’s best if we leave immediately, because I’ve heard they’re at the public conference, and it’s easiest to find them there. If they leave the conference, it might be very difficult to find them again," Bai Xiao decided on the spot. She had to resolve this issue once and for all.
"Alright, then let’s set off now," Shao Ming was decisive, the task wasn’t necessarily hard but wasn’t necessarily easy either. Catching two people, as they understood, wasn’t definite; they might have hidden anywhere hard to reach.
Bai Xiao nodded. "I’ll go change my clothes."
She had come back looking disheveled, and going out without tidying up would be embarrassing.
Shao Ming glanced at Bai Xiao! Indeed, at their first encounter, he had thought this woman looked like she had been robbed.
Bai Xiao was quick in her movements; she washed her face, combed her hair, and changed into a shirt and pants, which were more suitable for the task they were about to undertake than a dress. Even if they had to run, they had to be capable on their own, so after a brief consideration, she changed into this outfit.
She tied up her long hair and wore glasses that were purely cosmetic, making her appear refined and courteous. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Let’s go, but first, help me take this old man to the hotel where he is staying," she said before departing.
Bai Xiao glanced at the old man.
It was time for the old man to go home.
The old man glared, "I’m not going back. Wherever you go, I’ll go."
Bai Xiao was speechless, "Old man, I really have things to handle, and you shouldn’t follow me."
It really was her bad luck to have such a grandfather.
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I heard everything you said just now. You and these people are going to Myanmar to find Sister Mei, how could you go without me? Whatever you say, I have to protect you," the old man insisted, thumping his chest, refusing to leave.
Shao Ming looked at the old man, thinking to himself, You protect your granddaughter?
Was this a joke?
With all of us gearing up, including the old, weak, and sick, to go to Myanmar to compete, wasn’t this ludicrous?
Without another word, he waved his hand and directly pushed the old man into a car.
Someone had already driven the old man away.
Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this Shao Ming was a capable figure, solving a big problem for her.
