Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 382 Boss, let's stay up all night watching anime from now on.
"Fake!"

The ragged white man shouted.

The black guy and the skinny guy paused for a moment, then the three of them dispersed and walked towards Chen Xiu and Tian Xinwei in a fan shape.

Seeing this commotion, Tian Xinwei grabbed Chen Xiu's clothes tightly while thinking to herself: You big boss, why would you risk your life for a small artist like me!
The three people opposite him saw that Chen Xiuquan did not move and thought he had been scared out of his wits.

The ragged white man smugly said, "Have you been watching too many movies? You think you can use ordinary infrared beams as a gun? Humph! This environment isn't suitable for sniping. The infrared sight on the gun will be brighter, you idiot!"

"So, you know about firearms?"

"Of course!"

"That makes things much easier."

Chen Xiu smiled, took his right hand out of his pocket, and then pulled out a Truth gun from the inside pocket of his suit jacket. The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the smug Xiao Bai.

Seeing the three thugs' expressions change from playful to tense, Chen Xiu said jokingly to the one who had just talked a lot, "Since you're so professional, you should be able to recognize this gun, right?"

"Colt, M1911".

"Correct answer. Shall I give you a reward?"

"..."

The ragged-looking young man took a step back, clearly not daring to gamble on whether Chen Xiu would actually fire.

The black guy, still clutching a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, started jeering, "Logan, his gun might not even be loaded."

"Hmph~, you bet my gun's empty? That sounds familiar. Why don't you give it a try?"

"No, no, no, I just came to get some Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. Don't misunderstand, my mom is waiting for me to come home for dinner..."

Black guys often have a knack for comedy, and their sayings can easily make people laugh.

Having deterred the troublemakers, Chen Xiu then pointed the gun at the "professional" newbie: "Your name is Logan, I wonder if you have the same healing factor as Wolverine?"

"Enough! Take this girl with you, and we'll disappear, okay?"

The novice, with his hands raised, cowered so quickly that Chen Xiu felt it was a bit too fast.

However, the most important thing right now is to take Tian Xinwei away.

“Okay, raise your hands and come out with me like this, then leave from the other side.”

Chen Xiu maintained the gun's intimidation with one hand and placed the other behind her back to comfort Tian Xinwei.

Just as he was in a standoff with the three people opposite him, he walked out of the dead end and came to an alleyway that was open on both sides, and each of them stepped back 5 meters.

Tian Xinwei peeked out to see the three people opposite her turn around, seemingly preparing to disappear into the next alleyway, and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

However, he had barely managed to breathe a sigh of relief when the three men suddenly turned and sped away, pulling him right back into the air.

What frightened her even more was that Chen Xiu actually pushed her hand away, then suddenly squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it forward with force.

"Clap!"

"what!!"

A series of crisp sounds, mixed with painful cries, rang out one after the other.

The three people who were rushing over stopped in their tracks. The black guy holding the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce was now crying out in pain, his hands covered in red chili oil. The Lao Gan Ma sauce had fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The ragged newbie stared at Lao Gan Ma and the black guy's hands for a while before shifting his gaze to the ground, finally settling on a stone about the size of an egg, covered in red oil.

The skinny man stared in horror at Chen Xiu, who was squatting on the ground, muttering repeatedly, "Kongfu, kongfu..."

"Are you betting that I won't dare to fire, or are you betting that you won't be the unlucky one?"

Chen Xiu stood up abruptly, holding the gun in his right hand and supporting it with his left, assuming a shooting posture.

Seeing this, the novice swallowed hard, turned to give the other two a wink, slowly retreated a certain distance, then turned and sped away, disappearing into the alleyway in a panic.

Once he saw that the other person had run a sufficient distance, Chen Xiu finally fastened the safety catch on the gun and put it away.

He turned to look at Tian Xinwei and found the big-eyed cutie just standing there, looking lost and dejected.

Then, Luo Shikan, who had been hiding in the shadows acting as an infrared "sniper," also ran over with a look of fear on his face.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"It's alright, let's go back first."

Chen Xiu took Tian Xinwei's hand and left the alleyway that she would remember for a long time.

Back at the hotel, Chen Xiuxian handed over the Colt 1911 and the bulletproof vest under his suit.

These items were provided to him by the security company to prevent situations like today from happening.

If Tian Xinwei's matter hadn't been so urgent, Chen Xiu would have brought bodyguards along, but it would have taken them at least half an hour to get here.

At that time, everything was gone.

After leaving Luo Shikan to handle the rest, Chen Xiu took Tian Xinwei back to her room and then asked the hotel for ice packs.

"Sigh~~"

The bruises on her wrist from being pinched caused Tian Xinwei to involuntarily gasp for breath when stimulated by the ice pack.

Chen Xiu glanced at her while holding the ice pack and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'll be gentler."

Hearing this, Tian Xinwei, who had been holding on all the way, almost burst into tears again, but she forced back her tears, keeping her eyelids open and staring intently at Chen Xiu's profile. After applying the ice pack for a few minutes, Chen Xiu removed it and said, "You need to stop for a bit, then continue applying the ice pack. The medicine Xiao Luo bought will arrive soon; apply it and you'll feel better tomorrow..."

"Boss, I'm sorry."

Tian Xinwei murmured, her voice, which had previously been unruly and shrewish, now filled with pity and guilt.

Chen Xiu looked at her with surprise, put down the ice pack, and said seriously, "You didn't do anything wrong, why are you apologizing?"

"I snuck out to buy something, causing you to rush over to find me. If you get hurt because of me... I'm just a small-time celebrity, why did you rush over here alone?"

Tian Xinwei bit her lower lip, frowned, her eyes filled with tears, and stared at Chen Xiu with a stubborn yet aggrieved expression.

In response, Chen Xiu replied earnestly and seriously, "In that situation just now, if I hadn't gone out, you would have suffered more than just a wrist injury. Besides, I made sure they didn't have any guns before making arrangements and then rushed in."

Why didn't you let Luo Shikan charge?

"Given his appearance, he'd probably be surrounded and attacked if he went up there. It's better for him to hide and be a sniper."

"What sniper? Everyone can see that."

"Heh, the sniper was just there to bring you over; I also had a backup plan."

Chen Xiu patted his waist, indicating that there was a Colt there just now.

Seeing that he spoke clearly and logically, Tian Xinwei felt a little relieved, but her guilt remained.

"If I hadn't gone out to buy things, none of this would have happened today..."

"This matter isn't really your fault. If we really need to assign responsibility, I need to take the main part of it."

Tian Xinwei paused for a moment, and the tears that were about to well up in her eyes were somewhat held back.

She looked at Chen Xiu with a puzzled expression and asked, "What responsibility do you need to take?"

“I told you you could go shopping during the day, and you did everything I asked. If something happens because of this, I will be responsible. Luckily, you maintained GPS communication so I could track your location. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to find you in such a short time. So you actually managed to save yourself.”

After saying that, Chen Xiu grabbed Tian Xinwei's wrist and spread it out upwards.

"Since you're injured, let's talk about lost wages! But you should try to ask for as little as possible; I spent a lot of money on this trip to New York..."

"laugh!"

Tian Xinwei chuckled, her negative emotions lessened considerably after Chen Xiu's few words.

"Forget about the lost wages. Just come shopping with me when you're done with your work."

"Okay! Let's apply ice again."

Chen Xiu smiled and agreed, then placed Tian Xinwei's wrists on her knees, took two ice packs, and applied ice to her wrists again.

Looking at his earnest and gentle expression, Tian Xinwei bit her lip lightly, and the question "Why do Meng Ziyi and Reba like you?" couldn't help but pop into her mind.

At this moment, it seemed that the answer was already there; at least she had found her own answer.

A few minutes later, just as Chen Xiu felt Tian Xinwei's hands getting cold and removed the ice pack again...

The Sichuan-Chongqing tyrannosaurus, whose eyes were fixed on his face, suddenly said, "Boss, how about we stay up all night watching anime from now on?"

Chen Xiu's eyelashes fluttered, and she looked up at Tian Xinwei, where she saw Tian Xinwei's shy yet expectant face.

Shyness is an emotion that rarely appears in Tian Xinwei.

Upon careful reflection, Chen Xiu realized that she had only seen her like this two or three times before, and each time it was fleeting and less than a tenth of the intensity of today's encounter.

Seeing Chen Xiu's thoughtful expression without answering, Tian Xinwei mistakenly thought he was still worried about the meaning of the character "Meng" and the hot bar.

"Boss, don't worry, I can handle them."

"How are you going to handle this?"

Chen Xiu found it somewhat amusing. He could understand that Tian Xinwei was moved by what happened today, but he wasn't sure if she was just acting on impulse, since being tough was her true nature.

Upon hearing Chen Xiu's question, Tian Xinwei thought carefully for a moment before replying, "I have Reba's WeChat, and we've chatted privately. She definitely doesn't care about me, as for Meng Ziyi..."

How is she?

"Why don't you go and handle her? You're so capable, you can definitely do it!"

"..."

Chen Xiu stared blankly at Tian Xinwei, thinking: No wonder they say you're so tough! You even think the same way I do...

Seeing that he remained silent for a while, Tian Xinwei took the initiative to put her arms around Chen Xiu's neck again: "How about you arrange for me to sleep with her, and I'll sleep with you..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

When this girl starts driving, she's really fierce; Chen Xiu even felt like he couldn't hold onto the steering wheel she was swung at.

Looking at Tian Xinwei, who was pouting and acting coquettishly towards him, Chen Xiu put his arm around her back and said, "You should get some sleep first, we can discuss this again tomorrow..."

"You can sleep with me until tomorrow, then we can just discuss it directly!"

"...Is this alright?"

"Are you kidding me? I only hurt my wrist, everything else is fine. Come on, let's fight!"
