Upon hearing Zou Bai’s words, Tan Ming realized that she wasn’t vigilant enough today. She could only conclude that it might be because she had seen him before, or it might be because she was enchanted by his beauty.

Tan Ming looked at the men around her who were dressed in black and had solid muscles. One look and she could tell that they were all especially good at fighting. She revealed an uncomfortable smile. “I have good taste. You look like a good person! You definitely won’t do anything to me, your savior!”

After saying that, Tan Ming even nodded affirmatively. She wanted to convince herself as much as she was convincing him.

Zou Bai looked at Tan Ming who was pretending to be calm and couldn’t help but smile. “Get in the car, my savior.”

Zou Er tactfully opened the back door.

Tan Ming had to force herself not to cry as she got into the car with a stiff smile.

Zou Yi approached Zou Bai and asked in a low voice, “Boss, should we bring those people back?”

Zou Yi glanced sideways at the beach.

Zou Bai lowered his eyes. His seductive peach blossom eyes were filled with coldness. One look could make someone tremble in fear. “Those are just some local minions they found. They want to cause some trouble and make things difficult for me. Even if I catch them, I won’t be able to get anything out of them. Just go teach them a lesson.”

Zou Yi was in disbelief when he heard the order. In the past, those who dared to hurt their boss, even if it was just a little cut, had to die once at Yongping Number 73 before they left. Now, they were just teaching them a lesson? That meant that they only needed to have their arms and legs broken before being allowed to escape.

Zou Yi couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed like his boss was in a good mood today. He was really benevolent!

After Zou Bai got into the car, Zou Er immediately closed the door.

The person next to Zou Yi gave a few instructions. After seeing the other party pick four people to leave the team, he waved at the remaining people.

In a few seconds, all the men in black who had been standing just now had already gotten into the car.

Zou Bai’s car was in the middle, and the two cars in the front and back drove towards the hotel.

Originally, Tan Ming thought that this carriage was quite big and comfortable. As soon as Zou Bai sat in, Tan Ming instantly felt that the space shrunk by more than half its original size. She was in the same narrow space as the unfamiliar man she had just met twice. Thinking of the previous conversation, Tan Ming’s muscles were a little tense. She secretly glanced at Zou Bai.

Zou Bai pretended not to know. Instead, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers. Then, he opened the bag that Tan Ming had given him previously and took out a piece of pastry to eat slowly.

This was Tan Ming’s first time seeing someone actually eat pastries that cost a few cents a piece as if it was from a place with three Michelin stars. If she hadn’t paid for it personally, she would have thought that it was dozens of yuan a piece just by looking at the scene.

Zou Bai ate two pieces, raised his eyebrows, and praised, “It tastes pretty good.”

Tan Ming laughed dryly. “Eat more if you like it.”

Zou Bai turned to look at Tan Ming and smiled. “I owe you a favor. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

When Tan Ming heard this, she knew that Zou Bai was just scaring her just now. She pursed her lips slightly and secretly exhaled.

After all, they were still in the other party’s car. Tan Ming could only curse in her heart, but she still smiled. “You don’t have to be so polite. There’s no need to treat me to a meal. It wasn’t much.”

Zou Bai didn’t say anything. He looked at Tan Ming with interest, then closed his eyes and leaned back against the chair.

Seeing this, Tan Ming also relaxed. She leaned back in her chair and paid attention to the route back to the hotel outside the window.

In less than half an hour, Tan Ming returned to the entrance of the hotel. When the car came to a stop, Zou Bai opened his eyes and sat up straight. “Goodbye.”

Tan Ming deftly pushed open the car door and turned around with a sincere smile. “Goodbye.”

For good!

Tan Ming silently added in her heart. Then, he turned around, closed the car door, and jogged into the hotel.

After washing up, it was almost 12 am. Tan Ming remembered that she had not called home today.

Since her phone was broken, Tan Ming could only use the hotel’s landline to call.

Li Mei did not manage to get through to Tan Ming just now. Just as she was about to contact the film crew anxiously, she received a call from Tan Ming.

When Li Mei saw the unfamiliar landline number from an overseas number, she quickly pressed the answer button. “Is this An’an? Are you alright?”

When Tan Ming heard her mother’s anxious question, she stopped drying her hair. She immediately replied, “Mom, I’m fine.”

Tan Ming could clearly hear Li Mei heave a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. Then, she heard her voice again. “My heart was beating so fast just now. I called you, but no one picked up..”
