Chapter 869: 869

When the drunk collided towards Shen Peishen, Bai Xiaosheng noticed it as well. He reached out and pulled the elderly man’s arm, slowing his steps, then stepped forward himself, supporting the drunk’s back with one hand and gently pushing him forward.

"Be careful," Bai Xiaosheng casually said.

"Oh?" The drunk steadied himself, not forgetting to turn his head and nod, saying, "Thank you."

Then, he continued walking.

It was obvious that he had just lost his balance temporarily and was not very drunk.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head with a smile, but when he turned to look back at the elder, he paused, surprised.

Shen Peishen’s face had turned pale, one hand pressed against his waist, his expression pained.

Bai Xiaosheng remembered that he hadn’t used much force when he had pulled the elderly man, so he wondered how he had ended up looking like this.

Actually, Shen Peishen himself had gotten a fright and had twisted something.

"Sir, are you all right?" Lin Yu hurried over, wanting to support Shen Peishen but afraid to touch him.

"What happened to you?!" Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed in surprise.

Actually, he had noticed that the elder had been walking quite slowly, his body visibly stiff.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing! Just an old problem!" Shen Peishen’s face was deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still forced a smile.

However, it was clear he couldn’t move any further.

Lin Yu and the others were very anxious but seemed to have no idea what to do.

"Quick, call an ambulance!" Lin Yu urgently instructed.

"No, Sir Shen can’t lie down!" Shen Peishen’s male assistant said hurriedly.

Lin Yu was at a loss but then saw Bai Xiaosheng place his hand on Shen Peishen’s waist, which startled and frightened her, "You!"

"Don’t talk!" Bai Xiaosheng commanded in a low voice, then with his other hand, he supported a spot on Shen Peishen’s back and said gently, "Sir, relax here, don’t strain. Yes, relax more..."

Shen Peishen was also in unbearable pain, but Bai Xiaosheng’s calm words seemed to give him something to hold onto, and he subconsciously followed Bai Xiaosheng’s instructions.

"Hold on!" Bai Xiaosheng suddenly shouted loudly.

Before Shen Peishen could react, Bai Xiaosheng, with a strange posture, twisted the elderly man’s body sharply.

Everyone held their breath and focused, and the series of clear sounds of bones moving was especially frightening.

"What are you doing!" Lin Yu’s eyes widened in anger as she stepped forward.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, stepped back, and pointed at Shen Peishen.

"Ah—"

Under Lin Yu’s scrutiny, Shen Peishen let out a long moan, which, unlike a cry of pain, seemed to convey a sense of relief.

Lin Yu was momentarily stunned.

"Elder, please move a little, give it a try," Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said.

Shen Peishen did as told and looked incredulous immediately.

"Doesn’t it feel much fresher?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Your condition, I’m afraid you’ve seen a western doctor, but not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Or perhaps you did see one, but traction and bone-setting weren’t right. Actually, for this type of neurological bone disease, the right approach can show quick results."

Bai Xiaosheng spoke casually.

Shen Peishen moved his waist around, and although it still felt somewhat painful, he could move it now, and he looked at Bai Xiaosheng as if he were a hermit with out worldly skills, extremely grateful, "Young friend, thank you so much!"

Lin Yu was also extremely surprised and stared for a long while.

Then, she looked at Bai Xiaosheng with gratitude, "Brother, I was reckless just now, I am truly sorry! And thank you!"

"It’s just a small effort, not worth mentioning," Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

"You are truly noble and righteous," Shen Peishen praised as he walked alongside Bai Xiaosheng.

At this moment, Lin Weiwei, who was responsible for settling the bill, and another assistant, hurried back as well.

The group then left the restaurant.

Shen Peishen had a warm conversation with Bai Xiaosheng and planned to leave contact information for future thanks.

"Hey, what is that person doing?" Suddenly, someone exclaimed from amongst the assistants.

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw sheets of paper floating in the air, and a person running crazily back and forth chasing after them, seemingly about to run onto a street crowded with traffic.

"It’s that drunkard!"

"I saw him holding a stack of documents; he must have let go without noticing, and they flew away!"

"Chasing them like that is too dangerous!"

An alarmed cry rose from the crowd.

"Pull him back!" Bai Xiaosheng and Shen Peishen shouted simultaneously.

The assistants immediately ran over, but ultimately it was Lei Ying who, like picking up a little chick, brought the guy back.

"Let me go! My documents! I need to get them back!" The burly man struggled all the way, shouting loudly.

His eyes held not only drunkenness but also full of terror, as if those documents were his life and fortune.

Bai Xiaosheng, Shen Peishen, and Lin Yu walked over.

"Your documents went into the traffic, you running onto the street is seeking death, and you’re bringing misfortune to those drivers as well! Documents are important, but is life not important?" Bai Xiaosheng asked, frowning.

The man sat down on the ground and looked up at Bai Xiaosheng before bursting into tears, pounding the ground and saying, "Without those documents, I’d be finished when I go back. What do I need my life for!"

To see such a big man cry so miserably in public, although it seemed he was drunkenly irrational, the reason was utterly absurd.

It was just some lost documents; just print another set, what was the big deal?

The crowd exchanged glances.

Under the crowd’s questioning, the man cried and yelled intermittently, venting his emotions with the help of alcohol.

"You don’t understand, that document had many handwritten changes, I needed to reenter them into the computer. The changes, I absolutely cannot remember them!"

"Start over? That’s not possible, there’s no time left!"

"I can’t explain this to my boss, I’m a vice president, so what? His general manager position ensures he dominates over me!"

"That person, he’s a bastard, no, he’s a demon!"

"I work like a horse, I take the blame, and still, I’m not treated as a human!"

"This time it was also an order, I was en route to book a venue for a wine event, I only drank a little, how did this happen!"

"Resign? Do you have a mortgage, do you have a car loan?! If I resign, how will I live!"

The nearly middle-aged man seemed to have endless sorrow and misery, crying and making a scene intermittently.

The people exchanged helpless looks.

If left alone, he might really dash into the traffic.

"How about, we give you a tip to help you dodge this bullet," Bai Xiaosheng said.

"You, are you serious?" The man, reeking of alcohol, looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

"Then tell me, this time our company is being investigated by the higher-ups... without that document, how can we get through this. Well, you, tell me!" the man asked.

This statement carried a significant amount of information.

It seemed that his company intended to deceive the higher-ups during the inspection.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

"I say, don’t you want to stop living this kind of life! This is a good opportunity to report to the investigators!" Lin Yu said sternly.

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment but shook his head, "Reporting is not the best strategy."

Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiaosheng.

Unexpectedly, a disagreement arose between them so quickly.
