Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1276: The Unlucky Martin and His Gang_3

Wei Xueyuan shut his eyes in fright; that brick seemed to be coming straight at him!

Even William couldn’t help but flinch.

In fact, Martin, who was hiding behind Wei Xueyuan and William, had noticed the flying brick before either of them.

However, the clearly off-course broken brick left Martin completely unfazed.

Martin even mocked Bai Xiaosheng with a meaningful look.

Who do you think you are?

Are you that guy over there who knows martial arts?

You actually have the guts to make a move?

Look, it’s way off target, isn’t it...

Martin’s face was full of disdain, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth, before his head suddenly jerked. Maintaining that mocking expression, his body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Wei Xueyuan and William stumbled backward, staring dumbfounded at Martin sprawled unconscious on the floor, still unable to make sense of the situation.

”Beautiful!” Lei Ying couldn’t help but exclaim.

The brick Bai Xiaosheng had thrown hit the wall opposite, shattered into pieces, and one sizable fragment rebounded solidly against the back of Martin’s head. Martin was likely clueless about what had happened before he passed out, making him perhaps the most unfortunate of all those who had fallen...

Wei Xueyuan and William finally snapped out of it, realizing they were saved. They slumped down and unwittingly sat right on Martin.

As the two gasped for breath, they couldn’t help but look toward Bai Xiaosheng, who was brushing off the dust on his hands while stepping toward them.

For the first time, their eyes were filled with deep gratitude.

Anyone who has walked the line between life and death would understand the meaning of gratitude, and they were certainly no exception.

Bai Xiaosheng and the other two approached, with Lei Ying untying the ropes that bound Wei Xueyuan and William and tearing off the tape stuck to their mouths. Both of them inhaled deeply, experiencing that indescribable feeling of having narrowly escaped tragedy.

”You two really are unlucky, falling prey to these street punks. When traveling abroad, you should always pay attention to safety,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a chuckle.

It seemed likely that these two were used to traveling with bodyguards but had grown complacent due to never encountering trouble before and possibly felt burdened by their presence.

Looks like this incident might teach them a valuable lesson.

”You’re absolutely right!” William said sincerely, his gaze brimming with gratitude.

”Thank you.” Wei Xueyuan also expressed his heartfelt thanks and, glancing at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying hesitantly, added a bit sheepishly, ”If there’s anything I’ve done to offend you before, Sheng... please don’t hold it against me!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at the two but didn’t say much in response.

”What do we do with these people?” Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone looked at the individuals lying all over the ground and was just considering calling the police when the sound of sirens pierced the air.

They froze momentarily, then raised their heads to see a row of police cars forcing their way into the narrow alley.

Moments later, a group of Ganande police officers jumped out of the vehicles, guns drawn, rushing toward them.

”You are surrounded!”

”Drop your weapon!”

”Put your hands behind your back and lie down!”

Warning after warning came flooding in.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others understood that in such situations, it was best to comply with the demands immediately; otherwise, there was a real risk the officers might open fire.

Just as they were about to act, however, they saw a blonde, blue-eyed, long-legged woman shouting as she ran alongside the Ganande police officers, ”Stop! Don’t shoot! He’s my brother!”

William, standing beside Bai Xiaosheng, was stunned upon seeing the woman. ”Sophia! My sister!”

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions weren’t forced to lie face down with their hands behind their backs.

William’s sister Sophia seemed to know the leading officer well, and coupled with the prestige of the William Family, the situation was quickly explained. The police only took away Martin’s gang from the scene.

The officers were immensely surprised that Bai Xiaosheng and the others had managed to take down those hulking men.

”Your attendants called me, saying you had disappeared. I checked surveillance and saw the footage of you being taken away, so I brought reinforcements. Luckily, you had the family insignia with you—it has location tracking,” Sophia said, glaring at her brother, seemingly displeased with his carelessness.

To be frank, Sophia was a rare beauty with long legs and a captivating physique. However, when she started nagging, her commanding presence made her words irrefutable. Her professional outfit and demeanor screamed ”top-level executive.”

Even William didn’t dare talk back to her.

Bai Xiaosheng gave William a sympathetic look and prepared to bid farewell and leave.

Sophia turned her attention to Bai Xiaosheng, sizing him up and breaking into a bright smile. ”Sir, thank you so much for saving my brother. My family will make sure to properly express our gratitude.”

”No need,” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a faint smile.

Perhaps sensing that Bai Xiaosheng was rather unique.

This stunning woman, radiating an aura of authority, smiled and reached out her hand to introduce herself to Bai Xiaosheng.

”Let’s get acquainted. I’m Sophia, Executive Officer of Zhenbei Group’s Asia Division.”
