Chapter 715: Smooth Return Home, "Fast Speed Shadow 7" Premieres
"So, why was that guy so scared of you?"
After arriving at the airport, while the others were handling the formalities, Liu Rulan finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
To be honest, she really did trust Xiao He's ability, but at the time, when everyone was about to start fighting, Xiao He stepped in and subdued the enemy with one move, and the other guy didn't even dare to let out a single fart. She was genuinely curious about the story behind it.
Lao Qi's lips were surprisingly tight—even with her, his agent, he held back—so she could only ask Xiao He, the party directly involved.
"Oh, it's nothing really. After we got back, I sent him a PDF written with AI, telling him to shut up and not blow this up. Then he turned out like this."
"What was in that PDF?"
"Hmm, nothing much. Just some criminal records I happened to collect while tracking him down..."
Xiao He thought for a moment, then continued: "I didn't read the details carefully, but when the AI summarized it, I skimmed through it—turns out the online meme about the younger brother sleeping with the boss's wife is actually based on real events. I thought it was just meme-spreading. That guy's chubby, what did his big sister-in-law even see in him?"
Liu Rulan: "...I think someone didn't 'happen' to collect that."
It was very deliberate, actually.Xiao He gave an awkward laugh: "So, are you interested in his gossip? I'll send you a copy later."
"Forget it, absolutely not."
Liu Rulan refused instantly.
She didn't want to get her eyes burned by someone else's massive scandal and have her worldview restructured along the way.
Xiao He shrugged: "Too bad."
This brief conversation quickly ended. Chadley, who had come specifically to see them off, walked over and formally bid farewell to Xiao He and the others.
Knowing that Liu Rulan and the team had run into trouble on their way back last time, Chadley made a point this time to accompany the bodyguard team all the way to the airport, escorting Xiao He and the others. It was very thorough.
Xiao He thanked Chadley again.
"No problem. I hope the next time you come to the United States, we can continue working together."
"Naturally, I wouldn't miss that."
After finishing the exchange with Chadley, Xiao He connected with the bodyguard team that had accompanied them.
To be honest, they really lived up to being an experienced international team. Xiao He was very satisfied with the series of responses and preparations the bodyguards had made after today's incident.
Even when he mentioned withdrawing cash, the bodyguard team had been carrying a case of money with them all along, always ready for emergencies, so they could immediately provide a positive response to Xiao He's request.
Besides that, they had a whole host of other security measures and contingency plans. If Xiao He hadn't dealt with Moses first, with these guys around, Moses wouldn't have gotten any benefit.
They were thorough in every aspect.
As the employer, Xiao He could give them a five-star review.
"I appreciate your help with this matter. I hope you can keep everything that happened during this time confidential. If there's a next opportunity, I'll invite you to take on my security work again..."
"Alright, sir. This is our job!"
The head bodyguard nodded very seriously, exchanged a few more words with Liu Rulan, then stepped aside again, continuing to stand guard until the very last moment.
Only after confirming that the employer had officially boarded the plane and their personal safety was ensured would they formally wrap up and leave.
Xiao He couldn't help but marvel again.
"You're very satisfied with them?"
Liu Rulan tilted her head to glance at him, then said thoughtfully: "It might be a bit difficult to poach them back to China, but spending a bit more money shouldn't be too hard."
Xiao He immediately refused: "That won't be necessary!"
If there was overseas work again in the future, sure, he could contact this bodyguard team. But if he was in China, Xiao He really didn't think it was necessary.
Spending a large sum of money like that would be completely pointless. The public security in China is much better than it is out here.
Xiao He was determined to stick to his frugal image!
Liu Rulan let out a derisive snort: "Look at you, is that all the ambition you've got?"
He was supposed to be the boss!
And this was all he had?
As if struck by some kind of telepathy, Xiao He suddenly sneezed: "Ah-choo! Sister Liu, were you secretly roasting me just now?!"
His nose had been itching—it had to be her!
Liu Rulan shrugged, her expression exceptionally sincere: "I didn't!"
Xiao He didn't believe her.
But soon, Xiao Chen and Lao Qi returned.
"We can officially go in and wait for the flight now!"
Xiao Chen said as he waved to Chadley in farewell.
Xiao He didn't continue that topic.
Soon, the plane took off—
...
Qingming Festival in China is a day to express grief and mourn ancestors.
But abroad, this day isn't so significant for others, and there's no such custom.
Yet, some people still marked this day with solemnity and set it as a special occasion.
Because "Fast Speed Shadow 7" was also going to be released in theaters worldwide on this day.
And the viewers had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Ban Zheyu had prepared early, dressed neatly and waiting in the living room.
But his sister was still sitting in front of her makeup mirror, carefully refining her eyebrows and eyes.
After more than twenty minutes, Ban Zheyu finally dared to let out his first cautious urging: "Sis, Brother Xiao flew back yesterday. Even if you dress up perfectly for today's roadshow event, you won't see him in person! I asked you yesterday if you wanted to see him off at the airport, and you said you didn't want to meet him privately. So why are you making all this trouble?"
"Whether I see Brother Xiao or not, putting on makeup when I go out is my basic etiquette! Just shut up and stay quiet!"
Ban Wenyue dipped her powder brush and rolled her eyes at Ban Zheyu. "Besides, how could I not be solemn when going to see Brother Xiao's movie?! Meeting him on the big screen deserves careful preparation too!"
Ban Zheyu: ...I really don't understand you people.
So, over an hour later, Ban Zheyu and Ban Wenyue barely made it to the theater, arriving just in the nick of time.
Luckily, there were a lot of people there. While they were in line, Ban Zheyu couldn't help but complain: "Sis, how do you always manage to rush out the door at the last second and still make it to the venue on time?"
He had already prepared himself for being stopped at the door for being late and not getting in.
Ban Wenyue snorted with a laugh: "I have my own survival techniques~"
Ban Zheyu: "Impressive, impressive..."
While they were queuing, Ban Zheyu suddenly overheard others discussing nearby.
"Ugh, it's so strange. The theaters in this downtown area still have tickets, but the tickets at our block are all sold out."
"What? Really? Isn't your block pretty remote? People there don't really like watching movies, do they?"
"Who knows! But the ticket clerk told me privately that it's because the gangs in our block bought out all the tickets for the earliest show."
"Haha, they must be messing with you! Do gangs watch movies?"
"Oh, I don't know. That's just what the ticket clerk said."
"If that's the case, the rumor that Xiao He is a gangster boss's son can be picked up by marketing accounts and sent back to China. 'Even gangs support Xiao He's movie, Brother Xiao is a confirmed gangster boss!' Haha, that's hilarious!"
The group burst into laughter.
Ban Wenyue was speechless at the whole thing, but her idiot younger brother nodded very seriously, looking as if he deeply believed it, and leaned in to whisper in her ear: "Sis, that's true. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Brother Xiao had brought those subordinates who were gang members to save him back then!
Brother Xiao wasn't just a gangster boss's son—he was a gangster boss himself!
Ban Wenyue: "...Read fewer marketing accounts. Don't rot your brain."
