Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Rescue Ariel_1

Watching Lu Qingfeng leave, Bai Xiaosheng very politely invited Wang Chao to sit down, and Wang Chao was also very good to him.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng was "a friend of the Lu Family" according to Lu Qingfeng.

Bai and Lu had just behaved like brothers, and Wang Chao did not dare to show any disrespect.

"This time, I would like to ask Uncle Wang to help negotiate some cooperation with a company in Europe—Kelson Corporation, with the objective of having them sign a smooth contract with Zhongjing Media I work for without imposing any additional conditions."

Bai Xiaosheng explained the situation that could be shared in detail to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao nodded frequently as he listened.

To think that using the Lu Family’s cooperation as a bargaining chip would make the other party concede in other cooperations. This seemed somewhat preposterous!

The key point was, Mr. Lu had actually agreed...

Wang Chao found it inconceivable.

However, he did not show any surprise on his face, instead, he listened attentively and occasionally asked questions with seriousness.

"This matter is not difficult to handle in operation. Kelson Corporation is just a company of moderate scale. They would be eager to talk to us about cooperation. However, we still need to negotiate and use as little cooperation as possible to accomplish this," Wang Chao smiled and said, "After all, the Lu Family’s cooperations in Europe are with big companies. Companies of such a scale... they are indeed not many."

Was this looking down on Kelson Corporation for being small...

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but scratch his face and silently pondered what Ariel would think if she heard this...

Bai Xiaosheng discussed in detail with Vice President Wang Chao and came up with a rough plan.

Wang Chao left his business card with Bai Xiaosheng and then took his leave, saying he would go back to prepare some written documents and draft a contract.

Bai Xiaosheng saw him off.

After parting with Wang Chao, Bai Xiaosheng walked back; he had to return to the company to arrange the next negotiation time with Ariel.

Feeling reassured, Bai Xiaosheng was in a great mood, humming a tune all the way, which was quite pleasant.

It was now past noon, the sunlight was a bit harsh, and people on the street were hurrying along.

As Bai Xiaosheng walked, he suddenly heard an uproar ahead. He looked up and saw a crowd gathered in the distance.

What happened?

Out of curiosity, Bai Xiaosheng walked over and squeezed to the front of the crowd through a gap. What he saw made his heart skip a beat.

About a dozen meters away from the crowd, a thin, dark man with a ferocious face was holding a small fruit knife, taking a woman hostage.

That woman, Bai Xiaosheng knew—

Ariel!

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes widened in stunned disbelief.

How did this foreign lady get kidnapped!

"That man is a lunatic; his wife ran away twice; he is mentally unstable."

"Why don’t they keep an eye on the lunatic? Why is he out here?"

"And he’s holding someone hostage with a knife? Mr. Officer, just shoot him down quickly!"

The onlookers chattered noisily.

Due to the distance, the small fruit knife in the man’s hand didn’t look very threatening, so the spectators weren’t too afraid.

A police officer was slowly approaching, comforting the kidnapper while gradually getting closer.

"You stop right there! Don’t come any closer. She’s my wife, and I’m taking her home! Don’t get in my way!" the thin, dark man shouted at the officer, gesturing with the knife at the artery on Ariel’s neck.

"Okay, okay! Don’t be rash!" the officer called out urgently, stopping in his tracks and starting to patiently persuade him.

Ariel’s face was pale with fright, and she couldn’t stop sobbing.

The comments from the onlookers only made the kidnapper more and more agitated.

The officer couldn’t help but turn around and shout angrily, "Everyone quiet down, stop making noise."

No sooner had the officer finished speaking than he saw a young man step out of the crowd and even bend down to pick up a pebble from the ground.

"What are you doing, get back!" the police officer barked in a low voice.

"Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng!" Ariel spotted the young man and immediately began to scream excitedly, as if she had seen her savior.

But the officer’s face changed, and he yelled at Ariel, "Don’t talk!"

It was too late.

The skinny, dark-skinned man became instantly enraged, screeching, "Pretty boy, you want to steal my wife! I won’t let you succeed, this time you can’t take her away, you can’t!"

As he spoke, the fruit knife in the man’s hand moved as if to stab towards Ariel’s throat.

Onlookers around them let out a gasp of horror.

The police officer threw caution to the wind and lunged forward.

Ariel was so frightened that her brain went blank, her eyes fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng, holding that stone, twisted his waist to gather strength and swung his arm.

A streak of darkness, fast as fleeting light, whizzed past the officer’s ear and reached its target in the blink of an eye, hitting the skinny man squarely in the forehead.

Thud.

The stone split into two, the robber’s forehead gushed red, and his eyes rolled back as he fell to the ground, motionless.

The officer watched in disbelief as the robber hit the ground, watched Ariel go from stunned to screaming, running past him.

He turned around, looking incredulously at Bai Xiaosheng.

This young man, his stone-throwing accuracy was incredible!

And the key was, the force was strong, the power immense!

After his moment of admiration, the officer quickly cuffed the fallen criminal, checked him over, and found the thief was unharmed, just knocked out.

Ariel flung herself at Bai Xiaosheng, hugging him tightly, sobbing uncontrollably without any thought for her appearance.

Accustomed to bodyguards at her beck and call, she had never experienced anything like this. Such a terrifying encounter was like a nightmare, and it was fortunate that Bai Xiaosheng had appeared in time. The image of his swinging hand was imprinted in her mind, unforgettable.

"Thank you, my hero, thank you!"

Ariel shouted in a mix of Chinese and English, almost strangling Bai Xiaosheng as she held on too tightly.

Only then did he get a profound sense of the vast and wide embrace of a Western woman.

"This young lad is really amazing! What an accurate throw!"

"Well done, everyone give him a round of applause!"

The crowd surrounded them, cheering, with whistles and applause ringing out.

Ariel took a moment to recover, her face flushed with color, and she loosened her grip on Bai Xiaosheng, joining in the clapping.

"Thank you, young comrade," said the officer, coming up with admiring approval, giving a thumbs-up, "What a precise throw!"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

That throw, he had Red Lotus search for the technique of world-class baseball pitchers. It looked ordinary, but with Red Lotus’s assistance, it was a championship-level throw in a flash.

The wailing of sirens approached as several police cars stopped, a group of officers hastened out. Upon learning that the situation was resolved, the team leader was very surprised and thanked Bai Xiaosheng courteously.

Bai Xiaosheng and Ariel then went with them to the police station to handle the paperwork and give statements, keeping them busy for a while.

By the time they were done, it was already late, and there was no need to go to the company.

Bai Xiaosheng directly arranged the next negotiation time with Ariel.

At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng also extended an invitation to Kevin, asking him to come out for a chat before the negotiations.

"Sure, I’ll definitely bring Kevin!" Ariel nodded earnestly.

The Western girl transformed into a docile little thing all of a sudden.

Her gentle gaze still made Bai Xiaosheng quite uncomfortable.
