Romance Variety Show: The aloof and beautiful fourth female lead is always coveted.

Gu Jinxing answered the phone very quickly.

The call was answered before it had even rung twice, without the slightest delay.

Before Bai Nianchu could even speak, Gu Jinxing's voice came through: "Xiao Chu, what's wrong?"

"Two people were beaten up," Bai Nianchu said bluntly. "Brother Jinxing, please help deal with this."

The voice on the other end suddenly became serious: "Where are you? Send me your location, and I'll bring people over right away."

Gu Jinxing arrived very quickly.

In less than twenty minutes, the program crew's car, police car, ambulance, along with his black Rolls-Royce, as well as the cars of his personal assistant, the head of Bai's legal department, and the head of public relations, all stopped outside the store.

The two men who were assaulted after their attempted harassment were just carried out on stretchers when Jiang Meng and Bai Nianchu were still reviewing the whole incident with the production team.

The director was terrified when he received the news. He drove all the way here just to check on their safety, especially Bai Nianchu, the daughter of the Bai family.

"Teacher Bai, Jiang Meng, are you alright?!"

"It's all my fault." The director wished he could turn back time to before they stepped into the store. "I should have had the photographer with them the whole time."

Why all the mystery and the attempt to create a dramatic effect? ​​You almost got someone into trouble!

If there were another man with them, the two men would definitely not dare to openly harass them.

After learning the whole story, the director's tone was full of disbelief, "Jiang Meng, are you saying that those two men who were beaten and screaming in pain... were done by Teacher Bai? That can't be right."

"I watched the whole thing, of course it's true, and the shop assistants saw it too," Jiang Meng said excitedly. "Director, you didn't see my baby's heroic figure! In the blink of an eye, just when that pervert's hand was only 0.5 centimeters away from my phone, Nianchu suddenly grabbed his wrist! The pervert was not convinced and tried to fight back, but Nianchu dodged and stepped aside, kicking him to the ground with a spinning back kick..."

Director: "...Stop telling stories and take off your filters."

Jiang Meng: "It's definitely not a filter! I even have the video recording the shop assistant sent us."

The director was puzzled. He clicked on the video and fell silent: "..."

"Teacher Bai, you're such a good fighter!?"

The director was deeply shocked.

It's no wonder he didn't believe it.

It's simply because... the impression that Bai Nianchu is "delicate and frail" is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

While watching the video, he even doubted for a second whether it was generated using that AI technology.

"Is there CCTV in the store?" the director asked.

Jiang Meng nodded: "Yes, you can see that they were the ones who came to harass us first."

The director frowned: "What if they try to extort money after they've had their injuries checked..."

Before the director could finish speaking, Gu Jinxing, who had hurriedly gotten out of the car, had already rushed over.

This was the second time Gu Jinxing had appeared before the production team.

But this time, his appearance was far less composed and proper than before: his usually meticulous hair was slightly disheveled, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his tie was pulled crooked.

Even the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

The moment he saw that Bai Nianchu was safe and sound, the man's heaving chest eased, and he finally dared to exhale the breath he had been holding back.

Gu Jinxing strode over, grasped Bai Nianchu's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and carefully examined her from head to toe.

Bai Nianchu's wrist bones were burning hot from his grip.

Seeing this, Jiang Meng and the director wisely shut their mouths and stood aside.

As soon as Gu Jinxing arrived, the director knew that they didn't need to worry about anything else.

The Bai family is Bai Nianchu's support and source of confidence, and Gu Jinxing's stance also represents the Bai family's attitude.

Bai Nianchu allowed Gu Jinxing to examine her, and then he pulled her tightly back into his arms.

Gu Jinxing's arms encircled her back, his chin resting on her shoulder. It was an embrace that almost embedded her into his body, while also revealing the intense unease deep within him.

Because he cares so much, the moment he receives a danger signal, all he wants to do is hold her deep in his chest, hiding her in a place where no one can touch or hurt her.

The pounding of my heart, one beat after another, could be clearly heard through my clothes.

"Xiao Chu, are you really alright?"

Gu Jinxing's voice was still a little hoarse. His gaze swept over her shoulder and then back, pausing on the ambulance. His eyes swept over the man on the stretcher, whose abdomen was bruised and who was groaning. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he lowered them to hide it.

"Mmm," Bai Nianchu responded with a nasal tone, adding, "Don't worry."

She has always been indifferent to everyone—friends, romantic interests, even family—as if she has no interest in anything in the world and doesn't care much about anything.

but……

The words "Don't worry" still had a peculiar feel to Gu Jinxing.

She seemed gentler and even more obedient than usual.

Not to mention... at this moment, she was quietly held in his arms, without the slightest intention to struggle, and her beautiful black eyes showed no impatience or resistance.

Gu Jinxing then realized that Bai Nianchu was comforting him in her own way.

Tell him not to be nervous or afraid.

She was right there, safe and sound, in his arms.

"Get in the car first, and bring your friend." Gu Jinxing loosened his embrace and straightened her slightly wrinkled sleeves. "Then, you can slowly tell me what happened, okay?"

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Although Gu Jinxing spoke slowly, his promise carried an unquestionable tone.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Jinxing."

Only after watching Bai Nianchu get into the car did Gu Jinxing finally relax and turn his gaze back to the palm of his hand that had just held her.

Gu Jinxing's body temperature was higher than normal, while Bai Nianchu's was lower. When the two of them embraced, it was like a hot brown bear tightly hugging a cold kitten. The fusion of their temperatures was like perfectly matched gears, so much so that if they separated even slightly, an uncontrollable emptiness would well up in his heart.

"Boss." "Young Master Gu."

Only when the seat next to Gu Jinxing became empty did his personal assistant, legal counsel, and public relations manager dare to step forward.

"Investigate thoroughly," Gu Jinxing said in a deep voice. "Also, those two don't seem to be first-time offenders; investigate them more deeply."

"Give them the medical expenses they owe, and the 'compensation' they're entitled to..."

Gu Jinxing's expression turned cold: "Not a single bit less."

The assistant understood that this was a matter of one thing at a time: it meant both publicly demanding compensation and privately disciplining the victim.

"Understood. I'll go to the hospital first and keep an eye on their medical examination."

"I'll go to the police station to give a statement on behalf of the young lady."

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Jinxing nodded, the coldness in his brows softening slightly. "Ten times the overtime pay, and make sure things are handled cleanly. Suppress any negative comments online, and don't let them reach Xiao Chu."

"Okay, boss."
