Wang Bin's two personal bodyguards were staring down the barrels of guns, imdiately raising their hands in surrender, as cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.
"Bai Tao, just you wait!" Wang Bin spat viciously.
He didn't really believe Bai Tao would dare to harm him, but seeing his bodyguards' cowardice made his blood boil.
These two had already shown themselves to be utterly useless while at the hospital, and now here, showing the sa cowardly behavior made him wish he could beat them to death on the spot!
In Wang Bin's view, these two being so cowardly was a disgrace to him, and even worse, a disgrace to the Wang Family of Qing Province.
Such a situation was an opportunity not to be missed by his fellow brothers who wanted to suppress him.
After Wang Bin's harsh words, seeing his bodyguards with hands raised above their heads still trembling, he angrily shouted, "What are you two idiots still standing here for? Get moving now!"
Upon hearing Wang Bin's shouts, the two bodyguards felt it was music to their ears. Lowering their hands cautiously and seeing no one stopping them, they exchanged a glance before sprinting towards the exit.
Shanghai was terrifying!
As they ran, both had the sa revelation, starting to miss their days in Qing Province.
Even though they had just arrived in Shanghai the night before...
When the two reached the corner, the leading one stopped abruptly and turned around, causing the one behind to crash into him, almost leading to an accidental kiss.
The trailing man snapped, "Why'd you stop suddenly? You're asking to get caught by the cops?!"
The leader gave him a "you're an idiot" look and said, "How many of us ca in here?"
"Three!"
His heart sank—how could they have forgotten about the young master?
Ignoring the risk, they turned back, only to hear a furious scream: "You two idiots, arghhhhh!"
Wang Bin's heart-wrenching cries compelled them to rush back to Bai Tao's office, where they grabbed him under each arm and made a hasty retreat, ignoring his protests and struggles.
As Wang Bin, with his feet off the ground, was carried out of the police station at a brisk pace, he experienced despair for the first ti.
From the outside, it looked no different than if he had been thrown out by others.
Who would've thought, instead of being thrown out by Bai Tao's n, he'd be 'thrown' out by his own trusted subordinates?
Honestly, these two bodyguards lacked the skill to protect Wang Bin safely amidst fierce enemies, unable to even ensure their own safety.
Their abilities were only marginally better than an average gym trainer; they could handle ordinary people, but faced with even entry-level martial artists, they were lost.
Back in Qing Province, they had relied on their silver tongues and their ability to execute tasks in line with Wang Bin's preferences to stay by his side.
Rather than protecting Wang Bin, it was more like they were relying on his status as the Wang Family's young master to protect themselves.
Now, starting badly in Shanghai, their true colors were showing!
Finally escaping the danger, they hurriedly bundled Wang Bin into a taxi and raced towards their hotel...

"Ningxue, can we delay for a few days before going?"
After sending everyone off, Lin Bingxuan with knitted brows asked.
With her fortuitous encounter, Lin Bingxuan understood Xiao Tian's condition well; though not terribly bad, it was a far cry from his peak.
Lin Bingxuan planned to accompany her in a couple of days once Xiao Tian's condition stabilized a bit, ensuring so protection.
Yu Ningxue naturally understood Xiao Tian's current situation, and was sowhat moved by Lin Bingxuan's words!
"Bingxuan, I understand your aning, but the higher-ups are pushing, and we can't delay for too long!"
Now with Xiao Tian off seeing the others out, only the two beauties remained in the hospital room, one deep in thought with a frown, the other resigned, making the atmosphere sowhat gloomy.
Knowing Yu Ningxue's decision was firm, Lin Bingxuan couldn't persuade further, promising to expedite stabilizing Xiao Tian's condition to assist her.
During Lin Bingxuan's period of sleep and weakness, Yu Ningxue's care left a good impression.
Especially after more interaction, their mutual goodwill soared. Now hearing that Yu Ningxue was venturing alone to Qing Province, Lin Bingxuan couldn't help worrying for her.
Worried that after Xiao Tian returned, he might insist on going to Qing Province despite his injuries, Yu Ningxue displayed a serene smile: "Bingxuan, no need to worry, I can manage alone!"
"Besides, I'm not going alone; there are many skilled officers in the team to protect as the leader. We'll be fine!"
Yu Ningxue said as she stood up: "I need to go draft the list of personnel heading to Qing Province. Bingxuan, rest well."
Lin Bingxuan understood Yu Ningxue's intention to reassure her, but had no better solution for the mont, simply nodding and smiling warmly in return...
After Xiao Tian returned and found only Lin Bingxuan in the room, he asked, "Where's Ningxue?"
Lin Bingxuan sighed and explained, "She probably left first to draft the list, afraid you'd insist on going to Qing Province despite your injuries!"
"I'll do my best to stabilize your injuries over the next couple of days," Lin Bingxuan said. "Once you're stable, you can help Ningxue."
Though comforted by Lin Bingxuan's empathy, her commitnt to aid still gave Xiao Tian a reflexive chill.
"No need, just adjust the ratio to fifty-fifty!"
Their restored energy thus far ca entirely from Lin Bingxuan's Ancient Cultivation Techniques enhancing the Life Seal.
The ratio was eighty-twenty, with Lin Bingxuan recovering eighty percent of the energy, while the well-grounded Xiao Tian received twenty percent.
With Yu Ningxue off to Qing Province alone, Xiao Tian was eager to stabilize his power quickly.
According to his estimation, with the adjusted ratio, he could stabilize within a week, reaching Qing Province around the sa ti as Ningxue.
After all, selecting personnel, issuing equipnt, planning itineraries, and preparing strategies all required ti.
Based on this, Xiao Tian surmised he might even get there first.
However, he underestimated Yu Ningxue's efficiency and the high priority given to the mission...

Inside the police station, Bai Tao sat in his office, squeezing his temples so hard they turned red but unable to calm down, the stress plainly showing on his face.
