God-Level All-rounder Expert Chapter 1009 - 1089: Where Are You?

Zhao Rui chuckled, saying, "Sorry, my urge to smoke ca up, I really couldn’t resist." As he spoke, he took another puff of his cigarette.

Bai Houfeng frowned, paused for a mont, said nothing, and opened the car window for him.

"Thank you!" said Zhao Rui.

"I’m just worried your second-hand smoke might affect your wife and son." Bai Houfeng said coldly.

Actually, Bai Houfeng really disliked Zhao Rui because he had clearly seen how Zhao Rui had treated that mother and daughter at Zhao Rui’s house before.

"Sorry, sorry, I’ll take two puffs and throw it away." Zhao Rui hurriedly said, with a good attitude.

Bai Houfeng snorted but still didn’t say anything else.

As expected, Zhao Rui took two more puffs and then threw the cigarette away.

Then Zhao Rui looked at Fang Yi, smiling, and said, "Mr. Bai, it was my fault earlier, I shouldn’t have done that, I admit I’m sorry to the mother and child."

Bai Houfeng said, "It’s good that you can repent."

Zhao Rui sighed lightly at this mont, "Ah, Mr. Bai, no, I’ll call you Brother Bai from now on, how about it? Actually, I have my difficulties too, poor family background since I was young, although I married a wife as beautiful as Yujie, I have my own difficulties too, like the house we live in, it’s rented, now I can’t even afford my own house, quite a failure when you think about it."

Bai Houfeng didn’t know how to comfort him, so he said, "Just work hard and do your best."

Zhao Rui smiled bitterly, "Work hard and do your best, everyone understands this principle, but trying to do well, how difficult it is. For example, I work in a big company, but I’m always just a worker, it’s tough!"

Bai Houfeng didn’t know what to say, so he simply said nothing.

"Brother Bai, you’ve been driving for so long, how about I drive, and you take a nap?" Zhao Rui said.

"No, you sleep first." Bai Houfeng said.

"...Alright then."

Zhao Rui reluctantly said, and sure enough, he started to sleep.

Bai Houfeng was driving the car, proceeding on the provincial road, the night’s provincial road had few vehicles, Bai Houfeng was driving with full concentration, without a hint of tired sleepiness because his spirit was still very invigorated now.

As a guard, protecting the people, he felt it was his honor.

Through the rearview mirror, Bai Houfeng saw the mother and son sleeping behind.

The little boy Zhao Xiaolong was sleeping on Zhang Yujie’s lap, while Zhang Yujie was leaning back on the seat, eyes closed, peacefully asleep, Bai Houfeng couldn’t help but gaze for a few more monts.

For so reason, his heart inexplicably sped up its beating.

Bai Houfeng quickly retracted his gaze, face feeling slightly hot, and he busied himself by taking out his phone, suddenly sighing as he noticed Fang Yi’s incoming call.

Upon closer inspection, he realized he had put it on silent mode, which had beco his habit because when handling cases, he would set his phone to silent to avoid alerting suspects.

So Bai Houfeng called Fang Yi back, but just at that mont, another call ca through.

"Li Xue?"

Bai Houfeng answered the call and smiled, "Sister!"

But on the other end, Li Xue’s voice was extrely stern as she asked, "Where are you?" The tone could kill.

"I... I..."

"Don’t hem and haw, just tell !"

"Oh, I’m outside taking a walk."

"Really?" On the other end of the phone, Li Xue sneered, "How co I heard from one of the Bai Family guys that you borrowed a car and left, in a hurry too, where exactly are you?"
