The servant's words made Han Cai stunned again, his body becoming even weaker. Uncle Zhang watched Han Cai, his heart filled with worry.
Han Cai took a deep breath and slowly said, "Is there anything else to say? Say it all at once. I can handle it."
The servant then said, "The people from the Security Bureau are outside now. The new Director of the Security Bureau is waiting at the door, saying he wants to take the Patriarch and Miss Bai to the Security Bureau."
Han Rui looked at the tottering Han Cai. He knew that his grandfather was already very old, and it was time for him to shoulder the true responsibilities of the Han family.
He said lightly, "Uncle Zhang, help Grandpa to his room and rest. Have someone brew some soup to nourish the blood and calm the nerves. I will go to the Security Bureau with Miss Bai later."
Han Cai looked at Han Rui, his eyes filled with relief.
Although the Han family's trial this time did not bring back any material treasures, it had matured Han Rui. Without a doubt, this trial had been very valuable.
Uncle Zhang's hand tightly held Han Cai's shoulder and supported his waist. "Young Master, rest assured, I will take good care of the Old Master."
After speaking, Bai Xi and her group of four walked out of the Han family villa.
A man in his thirties, not particularly handsome, but with a dignified and upright demeanor that made people feel comfortable and provided an indescribable sense of security.
He respectfully called out to Bai Xi, "Miss."
Bai Xi nodded.
This man's name was Deng Liang, formerly the secretary of a director in a two-star city.
However, because that director colluded with noble families to oppress the people, and knowing that a certain children's disinfectant could harm the user's lungs, he suppressed the entire matter for money.
This led to many women using this disinfectant and children developing severe side effects, and even caused some deaths.
Deng Liang felt guilty and wanted to expose and report the matter. Unfortunately, the director, who deserved to be punished, found out. The director, along with the manufacturer of the disinfectant, began to secretly pursue and kill Deng Liang and his family.
Deng Liang's wife died in a shootout during their escape, and his young son, only 4 years old, was captured. They used the child as a threat, demanding that Deng Liang give up his resistance and hand over the evidence.
Deng Liang was in a dilemma. On one side was his child, and on the other side were countless children.
Fortunately, the Dark Department learned of the matter and intervened, rescuing Deng Liang's child. At that time, the person executing this mission was her, and she was still a Senior Commander then.
His integrity and his heart to act for the people made him truly suitable for the position of Director of the Security Bureau.
He had missed the opportunity to be the Director of the Security Bureau in that two-star city because he was recuperating and caring for his young son. Now, he had been reassigned to this position.
There was a light in Deng Liang's eyes as he looked at Bai Xi.
He would always remember this woman, who descended like a goddess before him, giving him, who was lost and helpless in the fog, almost having to bury his faith and his life, a chance to see the light again.
She was his benefactor.
Han Rui saw this and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.
Alas, it was fortunate that he made decisive moves.
Otherwise, no matter how outstanding his appearance or how charming his demeanor, he couldn't guarantee that he could survive among the endless admirers of the God of War in the Dark Department.
Han Mo also sensed Deng Liang's gaze towards Bai Xi.
His eyes became dangerous again.
Deng Liang inexplicably felt a chill run through him. Following the chill, he saw Han Mo and his group. But by this time, Han Mo's expression had returned to normal.
There was an awkwardness in Deng Liang's eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there were so many people, so I only prepared one car. Why don't I drive, and we can all go together? Xiao Zhang… you can take a taxi back to the Security Bureau yourself later. I'll reimburse your taxi fare."
Driver Xiao Zhang immediately said, "Okay, Director."
Han Rui quickly waved his hand with a smile: "Director, don't worry. I'll have my driver drive another car and follow behind your car."
Deng Liang was stunned for a moment: "Then thank you."
After speaking, he stepped forward, opened the car door, placed his hand on the roof of the car, and invited Bai Xi to get in first.
Bai Xi didn't say anything more and directly got into the car.
Han Rui saw this and frowned slightly, whispering into Han Mo's ear, "Are you a blockhead? Look at him!"
Han Mo was already displeased with the scene before him. Hearing Han Rui's words, his eyes deepened: "If it were me, Xi'er might not appreciate it."
Han Rui was speechless: "Let me tell you, these beautiful eyes of mine are not for you to roll your eyes. If she doesn't like you, won't you try? Besides, she doesn't dislike you now, she's just being difficult with you. Are you concerned about your pride? Or your wife? Think about it carefully."
Han Mo was slightly taken aback.
At this moment, as Deng Liang was about to get into the back seat of the car, Han Mo stepped forward and blocked his action, saying lightly, "Director Deng, please sit in the front seat. It will be convenient for you to lead the way. I will take care of Xi'er myself."
This was undeniably a declaration of possession.
Upon hearing this, Deng Liang was slightly taken aback. But he quickly understood, a flash of loss in his eyes, before quickly returning to a smile and immediately nodding: "Okay."
After speaking, he walked forward and sat in the passenger seat.
Han Rui raised his eyebrows, showing an expression of "worthy of being taught."
Xuan Feng hesitated for a moment and also wanted to step forward.
Han Rui immediately grabbed him, his eyes widening: "What are you doing?"
Xuan Feng said lightly, "It is my responsibility to protect the Young Lady's safety."
Han Rui had an expression of disdain: "Little Xi'er is so formidable, she still needs you to protect her? If there's real danger, she'll probably be protecting you."
Xuan Feng frowned slightly, his hawk-like eyes showing a hint of displeasure.
Han Rui looked at those hawk-like eyes and instantly knew he had said the wrong thing: "Well, I didn't mean anything else. And I certainly don't mean to imply you're incapable. I just feel that Little Xi'er, she's exceptionally formidable and very capable. Of course, you are also capable. The two of you are very capable people. In these calm and uneventful days, there's really no need to force yourselves to be together!"
There were already two obvious obstacles in the front of the car. If Xuan Feng insisted on adding another one, wouldn't it just make it even more obvious? How could Han Mo reconcile with Little Xi'er then? If they didn't reconcile, how could he have the nerve to mention his "improper thoughts" to Han Mo later?
Xuan Feng looked at him, still silent.
Seeing him like this, Han Rui directly grabbed his arm and dragged him towards his own car, saying as he walked, "Believe me, you are also very capable. So, a capable person like you should properly protect me, this not-at-all capable and delicate handsome man. Doesn't your Young Lady say that? She wants you to protect me well and help my family restore its reputation. You should listen to her."
Bai Xi sat in the car, watching Xuan Feng, who was 1.88 meters tall, being dragged away by the 1.78-meter Han Rui, yet she felt no sense of incongruity.
