As the eldest daughter of the Bai family who also mingles in various group chats in the circle, Rong Lan also saw the injury report in one of the groups. The injury report showed that Chu Chuan had whip wounds, burn marks, lacerations and a series of other injuries. The two - page report fully demonstrated how brutally Chu Chuan had been tortured.
— Ran Ran, when is your next - step plan scheduled?
After seeing the injury report, Rong Lan sent a message to her dear younger sister Ran Ran to inquire about the situation. After all, only by knowing when the next - step plan was would she be able to go and watch the show.
Not long after, Rong Lan received a reply.
— In two or three days. Let him stay in the hospital for a couple of days; otherwise, it's easy to kill him.
— Okay.
Rong Lan was waiting for the show in two or three days. She thought the next two or three days would be peaceful, but unexpectedly, Han Xiaoshuang would come to Baili Group to make a scene because she couldn't reach Chu Chuan on the phone.
When she learned this news, she had just opened the lunch box prepared by her brother and hadn't taken a single bite.
Seeing the gloomy look on the little fox's face after answering the phone, Si Mo was surprised. "What's happened this time?"
Rong Lan covered the lunch box with a gloomy face. "Someone is causing a scene at Baili Group. My dad took Ran Ran to a neighboring city for business and can't come back. Dad asked me to go and save the day."
It wasn't a big deal. Si Mo lowered his head and continued to eat the take - out in front of him. "There are so many people in your family's group. Do they still need you to save the day?"
Rong Lan gritted her teeth. She wished she could use teleportation to go there, deal with the troublemaker and then come back to eat her lunch. "Because it's someone I know, and her identity is a bit special."
Wasn't it special? After all, she was the mistress that Chu's father had kept for a while. For safety's sake, she needed special treatment.
"I'm leaving. I hope I'll still have time to eat my lunch when I come back." Although she wouldn't starve to death if she skipped lunch, this was the lunch made by her brother, and she wanted to eat it.
"Go ahead." Si Mo waved goodbye without a trace of reluctance.
Rong Lan looked at her lunch longingly twice, sighed, got up and rushed out of the door with a surge of anger.
Why did Han Xiaoshuang have to cause trouble just when she was about to eat? She wouldn't be worthy of her lunch if she didn't teach Han Xiaoshuang a lesson today!
Rong Lan rushed to Baili Group in a hurry. As soon as she reached the open space in front of the building, she saw a circle of onlookers. If nothing went wrong, the person surrounded in the circle should be Han Xiaoshuang.
She didn't rush to squeeze into the circle. Instead, she looked at the little ghost huddled in the shade. Even in broad daylight, seeing a ghost half its normal height sent a chill down her spine. She recognized this little ghost. It was one of the little ghosts that had asked Si Mo to open the ghost gate. But what was the little ghost doing here in the daytime? Was it just bored and came here to watch the show?
The little ghost noticed that Rong Lan was looking at it and floated towards her along the shade. Rong Lan was afraid that the little ghost would get hurt if it walked into the sunlight to talk to her, so she gently twisted her wrist and set up a magic formation that could block the sunlight for the little ghost.
"Thank you, Master!" The little ghost floated to a place two steps away from Rong Lan and first bowed to show its gratitude. It could feel that the surroundings suddenly became very cool. This must be Rong Lan's doing.
Rong Lan took out her earphones from her pocket and put them on. Pretending to be on the phone with someone, she then talked to the little ghost. "Why are you here?"
The little ghost scratched its head. "It seemed that someone was causing trouble here, so I came to see if I could help. After all, I've encountered a few people who caused trouble in public before. Those people would hurt the onlookers when they got excited. If I could help the onlookers escape, it would be a good deed, right?"
Rong Lan didn't expect such a reason. They were really working hard to open the ghost gate.
"Have you been here for a long time? Do you know what the person surrounded inside has been doing?" She was very curious about how far Han Xiaoshuang had gone.
The little ghost nodded again. "I've been here for a while. I've seen the lady who is causing trouble before. She's the mother of that Mr. Chu Chuan who was followed before. She didn't do anything too outrageous. She just put up a sign and kept complaining that the young lady of Baili Group had kidnapped her son." It pointed sideways at the Baili Group building. "Several groups of people came out from there to persuade her, but they couldn't convince her. And this is a public area, so those people couldn't use force to get the lady away. Later, they just ignored her."
Rong Lan rubbed her forehead. She understood. It should be that the company's people found Han Xiaoshuang unyielding. Since sitting in front of the company building and causing trouble would affect the company's image, they had no choice but to call Father Bai for help. Since it would take Father Bai three or four hours to come back from the neighboring city, he could only call her and ask her to come and handle it.
She sighed and tidied up the cuffs of her trench coat. "It's really annoying."
Seeing Rong Lan's impatient look, the little ghost bowed respectfully and asked, "Does Master need any help from me?"
Rong Lan squinted her eyes. Having the little ghost's help would have amazing effects, but she didn't want Han Xiaoshuang to be scared out of her wits. She still needed Han Xiaoshuang. She waved her hand to refuse. "No, I'll handle it myself. You go back to the shade." Even with the protection of the magic formation, it wasn't good for the little ghost to stand in the sunlight for too long.
The little ghost answered and was so touched by Rong Lan's concern that its eyes were full of tears. It turned around and disappeared into the shade.
Rong Lan took off her earphones and walked towards the circle of people. There weren't many onlookers, and she easily found a gap and squeezed into the innermost part of the circle. Han Xiaoshuang had her back to the place where Rong Lan squeezed in, so she didn't notice Rong Lan's arrival at first. She just sat there wailing pitifully.
Rong Lan watched as an onlooker for a minute, wanting to hear what Han Xiaoshuang would say. But Han Xiaoshuang just wailed. Although there were onlookers holding their phones to record videos around, Han Xiaoshuang didn't take the opportunity to smear Baili Group.
She was really not smart. If it were herself with the determination to sit here, she would definitely fabricate all kinds of negative news about Baili Group. As long as one of the many people recording videos posted the video on a public platform, it would annoy the person in power of Baili Group. Although in the end it couldn't cause any substantial impact on Baili Group, it could at least make the person dealing with this matter unhappy, right?
Han Xiaoshuang didn't even plan how to be bad. It was a waste of the courage to sit here and cry without a shred of dignity.
After listening to a minute of crying with no content at all, Rong Lan was so annoyed that she couldn't stand it anymore. She walked up to Han Xiaoshuang, knelt down on one knee and put on a polite fake smile. "Ms. Han, aren't you tired of crying so loudly here?"
Han Xiaoshuang didn't expect to see Rong Lan here. Her crying stopped suddenly, and she was so scared that she hiccupped. "You, why are you here?"
