<h4>Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Let’s Go Save the Damsel in Distress!_1</h4>


    If Sun Tianli hadn’t spoken like that, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t have been so tough.


    The old man loved his grandson to bits, so much that it bordered on spoiling him, but Bai Xiaosheng could understand that.


    Yet, he kept throwing around the Sun Family name, unting Sun Yiran’s father’s high-status in Tiannan’s business circle as if it loomed over Bai Xiaosheng’s fate, as though Bai Xiaosheng had no other choice.


    This ticked off Bai Xiaosheng in an instant.


    Do Ick money, am I begging you? Bai Xiaosheng sneered inwardly.


    This Mr. Sun really overestimates his family!


    Ever since Bai Xiaosheng left Tian Hai Media, he had decided that for the rest of his life, he would never grovel before anyone!


    Even when facing Song Kai or Lu Yun, it was the same!


    Moreover, he came to the Antique Jade City just this once, and he probably wouldn’t have the time to indulge in such things in the future, so he felt even less need to be wary of them!


    "Sorry, Old Mr. Sun, I, myself, am an upright and honest person, I don’t lie, and I have no reason to lie. Besides, I’m not short on money!" Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.


    His voice was steady, his confidence solid.


    Sun Tianli’s gaze narrowed slightly, he had forgotten that Bai Xiaosheng had once walked away with two pieces of Ice-type Imperial Green jade raw stones, worth millions.


    Thest piece, the ss-Type Imperial Green valued at tens of millions, he wouldn’t even sell, as he intended to have it made into jewelry for his own use, which was the epitome of extravagance!


    In Tiannan, when had such a character emerged, a junior from which household?!


    With a piercing gaze, Sun Tianli reassessed Bai Xiaosheng, and, amid his anger, actually let out augh, "Very good, very good indeed. Young man, you have no fear, but do your family members feel the same? I’m afraid your parents might not think the same as you! I worry that by the time you regret it, it’ll be toote!"


    My parents?


    Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback for a moment, almost bursting outughing.


    My parents are still back in my hometown; you, a wealthy magnate from Tiannan, can’t threaten them.


    However, this did remind me, it’s been a long time since I’ve been home, I should pay a visit, after I get through this busy period! Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.


    The project was about tounch, and with Wang Yeing to stir up trouble, it was probable that he couldn’t take time off.


    Bai Xiaosheng gave Sun Tianli a detached nce.


    Are you done with your threats? Unfortunately for you, they mean nothing to me!


    "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave." Bai Xiaosheng saw Han Shuying and Mining back, gave the old man a light chuckle, and turned to walk away.


    Sun Tianli’s face turned white with rage.


    This young man was too arrogant!


    "Boy, I’ve got my eye on you!" Old Mr. Sun gritted his teeth.


    As Bai Xiaosheng was leaving, he noticed Sun Yiran staring fiercely at him.


    Bai Xiaosheng gave him a cold nce and walked away gracefully.


    "Everything is taken care of; the money has been transferred! And the two hundred thousand you advanced me, making a total of one million seven hundred and fifty thousand. You already have over eight hundred thousand in your ount; now it’s two million and sixty thousand," Han Shuying handed the card to Bai Xiaosheng, carefully reporting the finances, then noticing that his arms were empty, she eximed, "Did you sell that piece of jade as well?"


    "No. I had someone make it into jewelry," Bai Xiaosheng shook his head.


    "Turn it into jewelry... That was, what, several tens of millions’ worth of jade!" Han Shuying was somewhat incredulous, even bbergasted.


    Bai Xiaosheng actually had the heart to do it!


    If he had sold it, think of the things he could do—no need to work, travel the world, enjoy fine food and drink!


    Han Shuying sighed with emotion.


    "As per your request, it’s been taken care of." Min brought Zhang Min over and handed Bai Xiaosheng a stack of documents, "Once the items are ready, they’ll be sent directly to the address you provided. If there are any issues with the color, quality, or craftsmanship, you can take this and sue them into bankruptcy."


    Impressive!


    Bai Xiaosheng gave a thumbs up.


    Min just gave an indifferent smile and told Zhang Min, "Alright, you’ve been out and about for the better half of the day; it’s time to go back, there’s a lot to do."


    Zhang Min stuck out her tongue, nodded, and apologized to Bai Xiaosheng and Han Shuying, "Thank you both, I should head off now. See youter."


    Saying ’see youter’, but not leaving any contact information.


    However, neither Bai Xiaosheng nor Han Shuying minded; they were but ships that pass in the night, and their paths would diverge as fate willed.


    Zhang Min followed Min as they left, turning her head back to wave at Bai Xiaosheng and the others from a distance.


    Bai Xiaosheng watched them leave and then said to Han Shuying, "Let’s go too."


    ncing around, Bai Xiaosheng saw that Sun Tianli and Sun Yiran were no longer there; they must have left, and the crowd had thinned considerably, but there were still some people pointing at them.


    That day, their harvest was rich, and it was inevitable to arouse jealousy—it was safer to get back quickly.


    This logic, of course, was understood by Han Shuying as well.


    Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, the two of them hurriedly left.


    As they walked, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the distance, speaking in a very odd ent with a muscr man walking beside him at a rapid pace.


    "What dialect is that?" Bai Xiaosheng wondered.


    "Language trantion initiated," Red Lotus’s voice rang out. "Amplify sound source by ten times, noise cancetion, searching... Dialect identified..."


    Bai Xiaosheng had learned before that in China, just the Chinesenguage itself is divided into seven major dialect regions. Within theplex dialect regions, some can even be further divided into several dialect subgroups, and sometimes the speech of a certain county, town, or vige can bepletely different.


    It’s even possible for someone to use their hometown dialect to discuss private matters in public without worry of being understood by bystanders.


    Clearly, these two men were doing the same.


    At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng was too far to hear them clearly and their rapid speech would be unintelligible to anyone else.


    But with Red Lotus, none of that was a problem.


    In an instant, the trantion waspleted.


    "Hurry up, those two women are going to disappear."


    "What are you worried about? We need to find a ce with fewer people to make a move!"


    Bai Xiaosheng’s heart stirred slightly, and his brows furrowed.


    One voice, transformed into Mandarin, he recognized it.


    It was Scarface from the market entrance!


    They had just seen him standing by Sun Yiran, stopping them.


    What were these two men up to now?


    Two women...


    Zhang Min and Min?!


    Bai Xiaosheng gasped.


    These two men were nning harm against Zhang Min and her group!


    For money? That should involve me!


    Bai Xiaosheng furrowed his brow, then realized that although he had a full purse today, it was all transferred electronically, with no cash on him, so even if those two were greedy, they wouldn’t dare to kidnap him.


    In Min’s purse, however, there was a substantial amount of money, and Scarface had long coveted it. Whether to rob or steal, the risk was smaller!


    Zhang Min and her group were in trouble!


    "Let’s go!" Bai Xiaoshengmanded in a low shout and quickly chased after them.


    "Ah?" Han Shuying was startled by him and didn’t understand what was happening, but she hurried to catch up.


    They were too far behind, trailing a hundred meters away, and Bai Xiaosheng and Han Shuying could no longer see the men.


    Once again, Scarface’s voice echoed in Bai Xiaosheng’s ears.


    "Why did they enter a dead-end alley?"


    "These two probably wanted to take a shortcut, great, now I don’t have to pickpocket, I’m going to rob them outright!"


    The voice stopped abruptly.


    Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze turned steely.


    Search!


    He was pulling Han Shuying, searching for the alley.


    "What on earth is going on?" Han Shuying asked, somewhat out of breath, "What are we doing?"


    "ying the hero to rescue the beauty!"


    "What?!"
