Since you are afraid of my "bullying", I won't be able to live up to this false reputation if I don't "bully" you once!

Almost at the same time when Rao Minzhi reacted, the paper ball in her mouth burned up, and the smoke disappeared and the ashes flew in the wind.

The atmospheric pressure then returned to normal and everyone no longer had the difficulty breathing they had before.

Rao Minzhi, who was sweating profusely and collapsed on the ground due to the shock just now, slowly came to his senses and pointed at Bai Shuiru and cursed loudly:

"Bai Shuiru, you bitch! I curse you to death! I - curse - you!" However, even though she screamed at the top of her lungs, it was as if she was covered by a glass cover, and no substantial sound reached the ears of Bai Shuiru or the onlookers. She struggled for a long time but couldn't stand up to regain her momentum. She simply gave up and sat on the ground, took off one of her red high-heeled shoes and raised her hand to hit Bai Shuiru.

Unsurprisingly, the high heels were also bounced to the ground because of the cover of the secret guard.

Without Bai Shuiru's instructions, the leader of the secret guards had already placed his shoes at an angle that seemed extremely strange to others:

The high heels were placed on the ground at a 45-degree angle, with the toes pointing towards Rao Minzhi, and kept turning with the latter's frightened movements.

"Why, you still want to eat 'barbecue'?" Bai Shuiru smiled sweetly, "But my performance today is over."

Without waiting for the other party to defend himself, she bowed 90 degrees to the crowd on all sides to "take her bow":

“Thank you for watching!”

Hei Huomian, who had already gotten out of the car and was standing by to protect his wife at any time, led the applause.

The media have long been impressed by Bai Shuiru's "husband-protecting" behavior, and the warm applause that followed Hei Huomian's "hint" could not hide their praise. At the same time, some have also tried to find out how the former did it:

"Ms. Bai is more elegant and stunning than Ms. Deng in protecting her husband. She is a role model for the new generation of women!"

"A humorous, energetic and talented celebrity of her generation!"

"May I ask who taught Ms. Bai how to do magic?"

"The secret is revealed. It won't be fun without the mystery~!" Bai Shuiru gave a wink and waved goodbye to the media.

Hei Huomian reached out and took Bai Shuiru's hand, then took something from Li You and handed it to her, "Things with bad memories are like useless garbage, so throw them away when necessary. Smiling and embracing new beauty is the continuous luck in life."

In Hei Huomian's palm was a golden nanmu elephant sculpture, exactly the same as the one that Rao Minzhi had just broken; the elephant's back was inlaid with mother-of-pearl to form a twined pattern, which reflected an iridescent luster under the sunlight.

"Thank you." Bai Shui placed her little hand in Hei Huomian's palm, like a little bird, and with their fingers intertwined, she returned to her seat at the invitation of Hei Huomian, who personally opened the car door.

"Do you think this little sculpture looks familiar?" Hei Huomian fastened Bai Shuiru's seat belt, but his eyes stayed on her face, carefully observing her expression, afraid of missing a single detail. "Shuiru, do you think this little sculpture looks familiar?"

Bai Shuiru nodded, "This wood carving was secretly taken out of your room by Wanwan to play with. I saw it with my own eyes. It was the night when I first met you, asked for your help, and stayed at your house. At that time, Rao Minzhi relied on He Ting's relationship with the Hei family to come to you and ask to join the chairman's office as an assistant. Who knew that because you found my little pillow, you rarely went to bed early, and you were rejected as a visitor."

"The detained Rao Minzhi was cursing in the corridor and was frightened by Wanwan who passed by on her bike. She felt guilty and angry, so she snatched the wooden sculpture."

Hei Huomian was slightly disappointed, paused, and asked:

"Other than that?"

I always feel like I've seen this little sculpture before. Bai Shui tapped the sculpture with his fingertips thoughtfully, "Yes, besides that? It seems that I've seen this sculpture before I met you..."

She tilted her head and shook her head after a while:

"I can't remember."

Hei Huomian's gradually rising hope suddenly fell to the bottom, "Actually... Shui Ru," he gently placed his hands on Bai Shui Ru's shoulders, "I carved this sculpture specially for you..."

"I know." Bai Shuiru gently pointed at the head of the carved elephant with her fingertips.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about, but..."

"Notify the administrative department immediately and handle all relevant procedures with Rao Minzhi." Li You's voice instructing his assistant could be vaguely heard through the car window.

Hei Huomian was just about to continue guiding Bai Shuiru to recall her memories, when suddenly a woman's cold voice came from outside the car window:

"Get up and go home immediately! You have brought shame to the Rao and He families."

The media reporters turned and stepped back, making way for a figure in a burgundy suit, while using flashing spotlights as a welcoming ceremony.

The middle-aged woman in a burgundy suit walked towards Rao Minzhi slowly but with full aura.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements and a backer, Rao Minzhi rushed forward and hugged the other's legs, crying and complaining:

"Mom! Hei Huomian and Bai Shuiru are bullying us! The old man has been arrested, why don't you speak up for me!"

Who would have thought that Mrs. Rao would slap her daughter in the face, and her cold and beautiful eyes turned even colder, "Get up and go home right now. You have brought shame to the Rao family."

Rao Minzhi covered her rapidly swollen left face with both hands, her fox eyes filled with tears that were about to overflow. She staggered to her feet on her high heels and huddled behind Mrs. Rao, but stared hatefully in the direction of the back seat of Hei Huomian's car, clenching her gums in resentment and unwillingness.

Mrs. Rao stood on the steps, her eyes moving over the media reporters who were gathered below, and her gaze fleetingly passed by Hei Huomian's car, but she bowed slightly to the media as if she was unaware of it, and said, "I'm sorry to have wasted everyone's time. I'll invite you all to have tea and reminisce some other day." She was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not make any explanation. After that, she held her head high and led Rao Minzhi away in her own car, as if she was just passing by to say hello.

Hei Huomian retracted the disdainful look in his eyes and looked back at Bai Shuiru. He moved closer and motioned for the other party to feed him a bite of cake. After his wish was fulfilled, he signaled the driver to drive back to Sucong Manor.

Dark Guard Seven said jokingly:

"No wonder He Ting had to marry into the Rao family. The Rao family is a wealthy family with four generations of power, and Mrs. Rao is so powerful. Any man who wants to climb up the social ladder would have to endure humiliation in exchange for the support of a wealthy wife."

"This Mrs. Rao is indeed not a simple person." Bai Shuiru nodded while placing an order on the Underworld Takeaway APP. "Anyway, it was all thanks to Lao Yi for cooperating with me in acting and suppressing Rao Minzhi's arrogance."

The leader of the secret guards who was in the back of the car scratched his head, his handsome face slightly reddened, "No, it was Miss Bai who was smart and saved the situation."

"Then we can forget about the reward meal for you?" Bai Shuirulin raised his eyes and glanced at the leader of the secret guards as he pressed the payment button.

The leader of the secret guards scratched his head and smiled foolishly. The next second, several subordinates used their elbows to strangle his neck and complained:

"Boss, what are you doing? Miss Bai is so kind as to thank you, why don't you just refuse?"

"Yes, and we haven't eaten Dibaozhai for half a month."

"Hehe, Miss Bai, the boss doesn't appreciate it, so you can just treat it as an advance reward for us, okay?"

Bai Shuiru looked solemn, but suddenly couldn't help laughing and shook the payment page on his phone:

"Ding, your order is being delivered."

The cheers of the secret guards almost blew the roof off the car, and then they quickly quieted down after Hei Huomian signaled for silence.

Hei Huomian picked out the page for transferring money to Bai Shuiru and answered the call from Li You.

"Boss, foreign stock markets started to rise right after opening, before they had time to fall, and the increase in domestic stock prices has easily caught up with the decline!"

Hei Huomian hung up the phone with satisfaction, but the next second he frowned and stared at the person next to him, "Why are your hands so cold all of a sudden? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The little girl blinked her almond eyes, then came to her senses, shook her head, and stammered:

"Hei, Hei Huomian, did my irresponsible remarks at the end and what happened just now ruin the entire press conference?"

"How could that be? Statements made in a desperate situation are the most truthful and convincing." Hei Huomian rubbed her hair and kissed her forehead. "Even if you made an unintentional mistake and the press conference was not successful, I, your fiancé, am capable enough to turn the tide."

Bai Shuiru pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly realized:

"So you just didn't attend the press conference on purpose?"
