Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Yuefeng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying erged from the fallen curtain and found themselves on stage.
Outside, it was already in chaos.
Nurous bodyguards and assistants sward forward, making an impenetrable circle.
The clamor and discussions from the audience below were almost deafening.
Not only that, many people were standing on tiptoe, raising their phones and snapping photos. Faces were brimming with excitent, eyes shining.
Unheard of, never has any dignitary "shone" like this in a roadshow, it’s practically destined for the front page headline of tomorrow’s Ganande news section.
Bai Xiaosheng and the others stared at the scene in astonishnt, watching as a group of people hastily disassembled a bundle resembling a rice dumpling to reveal a person.
At this mont, the woman, once graceful and elegant, was now disheveled, her face showing rage and despair, makeup ruined, clothes torn, even her high heels were lost, truly in a miserable state.
"That looks like... Miss Caroline." Bai Yuefeng looked over and blurted out.
"How did she end up like this?" Lin Weiwei exclaid in shock.
Even Lei Ying showed a hint of surprise.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the backdrop, several large pieces of curtains had fallen down, one covering them, another entangling Caroline.
Bai Xiaosheng thought of sothing, turned to the backstage and said, "Did Robert fall down earlier and pull sothing along?"
With this remark, everyone rembered.
Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiaosheng and ask, "What exactly happened, did you see it clearly?"
Bai Xiaosheng pondered and said suspiciously, "Earlier, I seed to feel soone tugging at the corner of my clothes."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.
What truly happened is unknowable, and now is not the ti to ponder it.
On the stage, the group of assistants and bodyguards crowded around Caroline, then quickly escorted her away.
In the crowd, Caroline’s face was extrely unsightly, with a tinge of bitter despair.
Today, she would beco a laughing stock, utterly disheveled, all efforts wasted, naturally unwilling to linger longer.
Bai Xiaosheng watched her being escorted away.
At this point, he naturally had no chance or possibility to converse with Caroline today, it would have to wait another day.
Over there, people also noticed Robert who had fallen off the stage, and were aiding him.
Bai Xiaosheng and the others stood at the edge of the stage looking down, seeing Robert being placed on a stretcher and carried away, utterly disgraced, one leg crudely immobilized, while he kept wailing and cursing.
Robert unintentionally looked up and saw Bai Xiaosheng, his expression instantly distorted.
"You, you!" Robert scread like mad, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, "I won’t let you get away with this! It’s all your fault!"
It seed that Robert completely placed the bla on Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng was speechless watching Robert being quickly taken away, knowing from the start that this guy harbored deep animosity towards him, and now pinned it all on him.
Presumably, Robert would later go back and recount this event to his family, his sister, with added flair.
That would greatly disadvantage Bai Xiaosheng.
"Is this guy crazy, wasn’t it him who fell off?" Bai Yuefeng glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and the others and muttered.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying shrugged.
So people never admit their own fault.
Bai Xiaosheng sighed and murmured, "I hope this incident doesn’t lead to a misunderstanding with Caroline."
Of course, no one could tell what would happen next, and saying more would be pointless.
Suddenly, Bai Yuefeng patted Bai Xiaosheng’s arm and hurriedly went to et a group of people.
The leader of the group was Bai Tianyu.
"Dear daughter, what are you doing here?" Bai Tianyu, seeing his daughter, although in a hurry, still stopped to speak a few words with her, glancing at Bai Xiaosheng and the others, his eyes showed a trace of suspicion.
These three people weren’t family mbers.
"Dad, these are my friends," Bai Yuefeng quickly introduced Bai Xiaosheng and the others to him.
Bai Tianyu had a subordinate whispering in his ear, and although occupied dealing with this ss, he managed a smile for Bai Xiaosheng and the others, not wanting to embarrass his daughter.
"Dear daughter, accompany your friends well, I have urgent business there, I must go!" Bai Tianyu apologized with another smile.
"No need to mind us, Mr. Bai has important matters," Bai Xiaosheng quickly replied with a smile.
Bai Yuefeng also knew now wasn’t the ti for conversation, so she said no more.
Bai Tianyu patted his daughter’s head, gave Bai Xiaosheng an approving glance, and hurriedly left with his n.
Today, Caroline’s humiliation here wasn’t solely her issue; behind her was a super family. Moreover, the success or failure of the election implicated various major concerns.
The matters Bai Tianyu had to handle were truly nurous.
Seeing both key figures leave, the scene descended into further chaos.
Bai Yuefeng had no choice but to lead Bai Xiaosheng and the others away from the area.
The four walked two streets away and could still hear passersby discussing the incident.
Many took Caroline’s embarrassnt as a joke.
"Seems Miss Caroline might not have any chance in the elections this year, probably not in the near future either," Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
In truth, even he found it rather regrettable.
Whether it was Caroline or her family, they had ticulously prepared for a long ti, investing extensive resources, yet unexpectedly t with such a setback today.
Bai Xiaosheng recalled carefully, finally comprehending the situation.
Robert wouldn’t tug at his clothes for no reason, coupled with the easy fall there...
It was evident what Robert intended to do.
He harbored malicious intents towards ! Bai Xiaosheng thought secretly.
Having realized this, Bai Xiaosheng felt no sympathy whatsoever towards Robert.
Finally, Bai Yuefeng brought Bai Xiaosheng and the others into a dessert shop to rest.
Once she started eating sweets, she seed to have completely forgotten the earlier events, after all, her father would handle any troubles from her side, which she didn’t need to care about.
"Will you be staying in Ganande for a few more days to let entertain you on behalf of Xuelian?" Bai Yuefeng smiled at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng shrugged and smiled, "Missy, unlike you who doesn’t worry about anything, I have a pile of work. I still need to report to headquarters and conduct visits, I appreciate your hospitality, though."
Lin Weiwei also smiled, "Yes, brother Sheng’s schedule is packed during the day."
Bai Yuefeng imdiately felt unhappy, but then her eyes twinkled and she smiled, "Work during the day, nothing at night, here’s the idea: tomorrow night I’ll take you sowhere fun, won’t interfere with your dayti work, you must co!"
Bai Yuefeng looked eagerly at Bai Xiaosheng.
With that, Bai Xiaosheng found it difficult to refuse.
"Hard to visit Ganande, I rarely invite you, don’t say no!" Bai Yuefeng pretended to pout.
It seed Bai Xiaosheng’s refusal would truly upset her.
"Well..." Bai Xiaosheng could only smile helplessly, "Alright then."
Bai Yuefeng imdiately bead with delight, very pleased.
After finishing the desserts, Bai Yuefeng again took Bai Xiaosheng and the others around.
Finally, Bai Xiaosheng and the others were exhausted from walking, and Bai Yuefeng personally escorted them back to the hotel.
As she was leaving the hotel, Bai Yuefeng solemnly reminded Bai Xiaosheng once more not to forget their appointnt.
"Tomorrow night there’s an event, I rembered, I won’t break my promise." Bai Xiaosheng repeated.
Only then did Bai Yuefeng leave happily, grinning widely.
