The road is right under your feet
Chapter 1 An unexpected arrival
The warm sun shone on a secluded path. A kitten was dozing lazily under the shade of a tree, but was startled by a sudden sound and its fur stood on end.
A figure was passing by quickly, as if he was doing something urgent.
At this moment, a series of shrill bells broke the tranquility of the alley, seeming particularly abrupt.
"Tsk." The figure made a slight sound of dissatisfaction, raised his left hand slightly, and said to his wrist: "77, connect the communication."
The ringing of the bell on my wrist gradually faded, and a childish voice came out, "Okay, Master."
The ringing stopped abruptly, and a transparent light board appeared above his left hand, reflecting a young and handsome face. The man was looking at this side anxiously.
"Shirahoshi, the meeting is about to start, where are you?"
Bai Xing slowed down his pace, rubbed his ears and responded: "There are still six minutes left, why are you in such a hurry?"
"No, Bai Xing, Grandpa Bai, ancestor! All the important people are here, and even people who shouldn't be here are here. Please hurry up! You know the importance of this meeting!" The other party was almost begging.
"I know, I know. I will be there on time. That's it for now. I'm still on my way." Bai Xing cut off the communication and quickened his pace.
The end of the road seemed to be not far away, but the way was blocked by several figures that suddenly appeared.
"Ha, Shirahoshi, you're here as expected." said the tall figure in the lead.
"So it's you, Gu Yi."
Bai Xing pondered for a moment, "It just so happens that the place you smashed a few days ago damaged my data. Second Master Gu, remember to compensate me."
Gu Yi pursed his lips and suddenly grinned, "You want me to compensate you? It's not impossible.
But I have a condition. I want you to promise me that you will no longer contact Qiao Yuting, no longer go to see her, and stay away from her forever.
In this way, I will not only compensate you for your losses, but also give you a batch of the most advanced equipment in the entire Star Alliance. How about it?"
Bai Xing snorted and said impatiently, "How many times have I told you that I have nothing to do with your Qiao Yuxin, and I don't want to meet her. Come on, let's talk about the instrument later. I'm in a hurry. Get out of the way."
Gu Yi's expression remained unchanged, "Do you think I will let you go?"
Bai Xing glanced at the intelligent computer on his wrist and found that forty-seven seconds had passed.
"Come on, let me see if you have made any progress in these days."
As he spoke, he took off his too-long research coat, threw it casually on the ground, and loosened the tie of his shirt.
This simple action revealed an indescribable charm on him. The slender fingers on the tie and his indifferent eyes were extremely attractive.
Gu Yi's eyes deepened. He did not order the bodyguards to intervene, but took a step forward and made an invitation gesture.
The two men quickly exchanged blows. Gu Yi's attacks were steady and orderly, showing signs of professional training, but he seemed to be deliberately delaying time, only defending and not attacking.
Bai Xing immediately saw through his intention, his eyes darkened, and his attack became fierce, directly targeting the opponent's vital points.
For a moment, he had the upper hand.
Gu Yi barely dodged Bai Xing's fatal blow, blocked the palm attack on his neck, and continued to defend himself without changing his expression.
The bodyguards stood in a row at the exit of the alley.
Bai Xing's speed increased, and he punched at him fiercely. Gu Yi had just resolved the previous attack, and this punch came too fast, catching him off guard and unable to avoid it.
He only felt a sharp pain on his face, his head was dizzy, his body staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.
Bai Xing's body flashed and he quickly restrained Gu Yi, handcuffed his hands behind his back, and glanced at the bodyguards at the exit.
"I don't have time to waste here with you. I have an important meeting to attend. Tell your bodyguard to get out of the way." He said coldly.
Gu Yi was stunned and murmured, "Meeting?" As if he had thought of something, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the bodyguard not far away with a gloomy face.
The bodyguard, who had been calm and composed, was now sweating profusely and couldn't help swallowing.
Bai Xing continued, "You, Gu's, are determined to win this project, so why do you have to resort to such despicable means?
Oh~ Are you afraid? It seems that you think highly of me. Thank you for your care. When you return the equipment, please remember to pay for the damage and repair fees as well."
Bai Xing saw that Gu Yi had an ugly expression and looked like he was going to deny his debt, so he added, "You guys tampered with my car, right? There's no need to deny it in a hurry. The hovercraft is equipped with a driving recorder, and there is no blind spot in front of and behind the car."
One of his men exerted force and pushed the man forward a few steps.
"You want to default on your debt? Your Gu Group is such a big consortium, this is not good, right? If this gets out, oh my~ I'll feel ashamed for you."
Bai Xing laughed sarcastically and continued, "They even calculated where I would get off the bus and which path I would take. It was really well calculated."
"Okay, I, Bai Xing, admit defeat this time, but there is still a long way to go." He leaned down and whispered in Gu Yi's ear, "Don't you agree, classmate Gu Yi?"
Gu Yi lowered his eyebrows, hiding the expression in his eyes in the shadows, and after a long while he spoke in a deep voice, "Back off."
The bodyguards quickly dispersed, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.
With less than four minutes left, it was impossible for Shirahoshi to arrive before the meeting started.
Although the eldest young master's mission was completed, they could not bear the second young master's anger. They could only hope that the eldest young master would come forward at that time.
Bai Xing looked at the intelligent computer on his wrist again, which showed that there were still three minutes and eleven seconds.
It is about eight or nine hundred meters away from here, and the conference room is on the 38th floor, so it is not impossible to sprint at full speed.
Bai Xing didn't care that his uniform was wrinkled from the fight and let go of Gu Yi.
He took a deep breath, rushed forward like an arrow.
Just as he was about to rush out of the alley, a broken roar came from behind him, as if calling his name.
Bai Xing subconsciously looked back and saw a dazzling white light.
At the same time, a violent tinnitus sounded, and in a trance he seemed to see a figure running towards him.
Then, he fell into darkness amid the noise of the crowd and the sound of electricity.
……
Bai Xing slowly opened his eyes in severe pain, and instantly felt the ground tilting backwards. His center of gravity suddenly became unstable, his body lost balance, and he slid backwards rapidly.
He instinctively tried to grab something, but his hand reached out to grab nothing, and then his back hit the wall hard.
"hiss--"
Bai Xing gasped and felt his internal organs trembling. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat. Before he could react, the ground tilted again.
"No way? Come again!" he cried out in pain.
Bai Xing made a quick decision, endured the severe pain all over his body, clenched his teeth, and threw himself towards the chair in front of him.
