Huayu, my cheat code is a bit strange.

Chapter 68 The Outlaw (Please read on, please recommend, please do everything!)

The bamboo blinds of the Japanese restaurant were half-rolled up, and outside the window was a distinctive landscape garden.

Gu Xiao stared at the price tag at the end of the menu, speechless.

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't this too much of a waste?"

Wang Fei joked, "It's alright, I can afford this much money."

Gu Xiao said helplessly, "That's not what I meant."

Wang Fei waved her hand, indicating that he could order whatever he wanted, and then picked up her glass of ice water and took a sip.

She looked at the young man in front of her and suddenly said, "President You said you are a student at the Beijing Film Academy?"

Gu Xiao looked up from the menu and replied, "I haven't officially enrolled yet; I just finished the college entrance examination."

"That means he's a prospective college student."

Wang Fei nodded, her tone filled with curiosity: "Since you can write songs, why don't you go to a music academy?"

Gu Xiao said, "I have no money."

"Huh?" Wang Fei was a little confused, and her female assistant next to her also looked over with a strange expression.

Gu Xiao explained, "My family doesn't support me going to art school, so I had to forge my signature and secretly register. I was afraid of being discovered, so I chose the Beijing Film Academy, which is close to home."

This was indeed the original owner's idea; rather than choosing the Beijing Film Academy, it was simply fulfilling a dream.

"Is that so?"

Wang Fei's eyes were complicated, and she sighed with emotion, "I didn't realize you had this kind of courage. It must have been tough for you."

Gu Xiao felt sorry for her cheap father and spoke up for him:
"Actually, I eventually agreed and even put some money in the corner of the kitchen, but I was too busy and didn't notice it."

The money was accidentally found by Xiao Jiu one night when he went to the kitchen to steal food; otherwise, he would never have discovered it.

Wang Fei remarked with emotion, "It seems you were born into a happy family."

Gu Xiao smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Wang Fei was about to say something when, just then, the waiter came over with the order book and bowed slightly to ask what was wrong.

Gu Xiao's attention was diverted, and she began to focus on the menu.

He ordered several signature sushi dishes that looked good and an eel rice bowl, while Wang Fei only ordered a sashimi platter and a vegetable salad.

The dishes were served quickly, beautifully presented, and made with fresh ingredients.

As they ate and chatted, the conversation naturally turned to the recent changes in the capital.

This process was quite novel to Gu Xiao.

Wang Fei was the first real celebrity he came into contact with after he came into this world.

Unexpectedly, he's no different from ordinary people; he loves gossip, complaining, and venting.

If it weren't for the occasional whispers and the curious, excited, or restrained glances from those around him, he would have thought the person sitting opposite him was a senior from a music academy, not a superstar who was famous throughout Asia.

The two chatted as they ate, ranging from recent popular music to the rapid changes in the capital.

Just as Gu Xiao picked up a piece of sushi, her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
He made an apologetic gesture to Wang Fei and answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. You."

"Gu Xiao, the contract is basically finalized. Ask Faye when it's convenient for her to start recording. That way we can arrange the time." You Jianming's voice came through the receiver.

Gu Xiao slightly covered the microphone with her hand, turned to Wang Fei, and repeated the question.

Wang Fei said nonchalantly, "This afternoon will do."

Gu Xiao paused, then asked to confirm, "Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Although he is not a professional musician, he knows that recording songs is a meticulous and mentally taxing task.

Singers usually need time to warm up their voices and get into the right state. It is common for them to prepare for two or three days before going into the studio in order to achieve the best results.

Wang Fei picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, her smile fading slightly: "I've had a lot of worries lately, singing is good for me."

Gu Xiaoxin understood and didn't ask any more questions. She replied to You Jianming on the other end of the phone.

Yu Jianming naturally had no objections, immediately hung up the phone, and booked the recording studio without stopping.

……

……

We left the restaurant and departed Pacific Place.

Gu Xiao and Wang Fei, who was wearing large sunglasses, walked side by side on the street, with their female assistant silently following two steps behind.

“There’s a really authentic cart noodle shop up ahead, it’s been open for over thirty years.” Wang Fei was saying when she suddenly noticed that Gu Xiao’s pace had slowed down.

He turned to look at the bustling square behind him, subconsciously activating his spiritual vision, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Wang Fei asked curiously, following his gaze, only to see ordinary people strolling around. Gu Xiao's spiritual vision quickly swept through the crowd, finally settling on a tall, thin figure wearing a baseball cap.

He said, "Someone is following us."

Wang Fei's eyes turned cold behind her sunglasses, and she waved to her assistant.

The assistant understood and immediately turned and walked in that direction.

"They're just paparazzi, I'm used to it."

Wang Fei's tone was calm, but her pace quickened noticeably. "Let's go, let's go through this way."

She led Gu Xiao into a relatively quiet side street.

However, not long after, Gu Xiao stopped again.

"Two more have arrived," he said in a low voice.

Following his gaze, Wang Fei saw two figures squatting at the corner of the intersection ahead, each holding a camera.

She sounded a little impatient. "These people are certainly well-informed today."

The female assistant rushed back at this moment, her face not looking too good: "Sister Fei, we can't shake off the one behind us."

Gu Xiao looked around and suddenly grabbed Wang Fei's wrist: "This way."

He led the two quickly into the side entrance of a nearby commercial building.

The three of them continued to walk through the narrow corridor.

"You've been to this mall before?" Wang Fei was somewhat surprised by his familiarity with the place.

"I caught a glimpse of the map when I passed by," Gu Xiao explained simply.

Wang Fei stared wide-eyed, feeling that his memory was somewhat fantastical.

Gu Xiao led them through a boutique and through another exit into an adjacent office building.

After repeatedly traversing several connected buildings, they returned to the street through a quiet back alley.

Gu Xiao activated his spiritual vision and scanned the area before saying, "We've shaken them off."

Wang Fei took off her sunglasses, revealing an admiring look: "Impressive! How about applying to be my assistant?"

Gu Xiao shook his head helplessly, and was about to speak when a loud bang came from the middle of the road!
This was followed by the piercing sound of tires screeching, accompanied by a woman's shrill scream.

The three of them turned to look at the same time.

A black sedan was seen out of control and crashed into the guardrail. The front of the car was severely deformed, and thick smoke was billowing from under the hood.

Even more terrifying, a little girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt was knocked away and lay motionless in the middle of the road.

"Oh my god!" the female assistant exclaimed.

Wang Fei's face also turned deathly pale.

Gu Xiao frowned and strode towards the middle of the road.

"Gu Xiao!" Wang Fei exclaimed, but he didn't even turn his head.

Gu Xiaoling activated her full vision, and everything around her instantly slowed down.

He precisely avoided oncoming vehicles and arrived at the little girl's side in a few leaps.

A passerby shouted something in panic, his hurried Cantonese filled with fear.

Gu Xiao couldn't understand it, nor did she have time to listen.

He knelt on one knee and carefully examined the girl's injuries.

He had multiple bruises on his body, his left leg was twisted unnaturally, and his lower abdomen was slightly swollen.

I heard several unusual noises inside my body, which are likely caused by bleeding from ruptured blood vessels.

Under the dual perception of spiritual sense and spiritual vision, the girl's life force was waning at an alarming rate.

"How is it?" Wang Fei had also come over at some point, looking at the little girl with a pained expression.

Gu Xiao asked, "How far is it from the nearest hospital?"

Wang Fei was taken aback by the question, but quickly recovered: "East District Hospital, fifteen minutes if there's no traffic."

That's definitely too late. Gu Xiao looked around, then suddenly saw something that lit up her eyes, and immediately stood up.

Wang Fei was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask a question when she saw Gu Xiao walk to the outer perimeter and talk to a foreigner on a motorcycle.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Gu Xiao punched the foreigner to the ground, snatched the motorcycle, and drove it to her side.

Gu Xiao said, "Get in the car and lead the way."
