He shoved his assistant aside, walked to Fat Chow's side, and, ignoring the stares of the crowd, stretched out his blood-stained hand and shouted at Fat Chow, who was sitting on the ground.
"Fa-zai, thank you so much! You're a real man, from now on we're friends!"
Fa-zai looked at Bai Xiaolong's outstretched hand, unsure whether to reach out or not. After a couple of seconds of bewilderment, he finally had no choice but to reach out and grasp the other's hand.
Bai Xiaolong pulled Fa Zai up, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said...
"It's alright, don't worry. If that damn crow dares to come again, I'll beat it up every time I see it!"
Fa-zai was so angry he laughed. Looking at the other person's bloody wounds all over his body and seeing the sincerity in his eyes, he could only sigh helplessly.
He turned to look at the paparazzi still secretly filming outside the film set. His mouth was full of bitterness. He had finally gained some popularity with a few movies, but now this incident had completely ruined him!
While tending to his wounds, Bai Xiaolong also looked around. Seeing Fa Zai's dejected look, he probably understood what he was worried about.
He pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke to Fat Boy.
"Fa-zai, you'll take responsibility for your actions. Don't worry, this won't involve you!"
Chow Yun-fat was in a daze at the moment, and could only shake his head and nod blankly. The affairs of the Hong Kong entertainment industry were too complicated.
He started working in the entertainment industry when he was a teenager. In order to get more resources from the company, he signed an eight-year contract with the company, and now it is the sixth year.
After so many years of hard work, he finally gained some fame. The company also saw that he had some fame and wanted to renew his contract, but the two sides could not reach an agreement on the terms.
Now that this has happened again, it gives the company an excuse. If I am blacklisted by the company because of this, no one will dare to sign me in the future, and my acting career will be completely over!
Just then, the ambulance arrived outside, and the assistant pulled Bai Xiaolong towards the door.
After taking a few steps, Bai Xiaolong turned back to look at Fa Zai, who was still in a daze, and finally called out in a solemn tone.
"Fa-zai, I, Bai Xiaolong, will remember what happened today. I consider you my friend!"
Fa-zai didn't expect this guy to still be acting like a big shot at this point, so he immediately gave him a smile that looked more like a grimace.
Although Bai Xiaolong's injuries were only superficial, one wound was quite deep and almost damaged a nerve. After receiving simple treatment in Hong Kong, he was quickly transferred to the Royal Hospital of the Lion Kingdom.
All of this was naturally arranged by Bai Xiaolong's mother. Although Bai Xiaolong did not inform his mother about his injury, his mother, who always paid attention to Hong Kong entertainment news, saw her son covered in blood in the newspaper the next day.
The woman named Zhang Xiaojuan ran to Bai Xiaolong's father in tears, begging him to arrange a private plane to Hong Kong to bring back her beloved son.
Bai Xiaolong's father, Bai Enci, was not actually in the core of the family. He only controlled some businesses on the periphery of the family. Although he was worth hundreds of millions, he did not have any real power in the family.
Moreover, he didn't like his youngest son, Bai Xiaolong. It was bad enough that he was uneducated and incompetent, but now he had caused such a scene, not only losing face for him but also being ridiculed by the family.
Faced with Zhang Xiaojuan's sobbing, Bai Enci looked displeased. This woman was just a saleswoman in a shopping mall back then. He took her in because of her beautiful skin, and that's how Bai Xiaolong came to be.
Unexpectedly, her youngest son was just as ignorant, incompetent, and hot-tempered as his mother. They had originally let him fend for himself, but he still caused this trouble.
After thinking it over, Bai Enci finally arranged for someone to bring Bai Xiaolong back to the Lion Kingdom.
No matter how useless he is, Bai Xiaolong is still a member of the Bai family. We can't let him embarrass us in public!
Bai Xiaolong returned to the Lion Kingdom and was discharged from the hospital after a short treatment of half a month. He was a marginal figure in the Bai family, and when he saw Bai Enci, he was scolded again.
In a fit of anger, Bai Xiaolong wanted to return to Hong Kong, but his mother held him back and he finally gave up!
With his great-grandfather's 100th birthday approaching, Bai Xiaolong ultimately decided to wait until after his great-grandfather's birthday before leaving Hong Kong.
Bai Xiaolong had heard countless legendary stories about his great-grandfather since he was a child, such as how he could fight against a hundred men and how he was renowned throughout eight countries.
Bai Xiaolong didn't believe any of those legendary stories. Although he was his great-grandfather, Bai Xiaolong had only met his great-grandfather twice when he was a child, and even his appearance was blurry in his mind, let alone left a deep impression on him.
Although Bai Xiaolong did not believe in his great-grandfather's personal martial prowess, he did believe in his great-grandfather's legendary life.
After all, the Bai family's status in the Lion Kingdom shows that his great-grandfather was a formidable figure. Every year at the royal New Year's banquet, the Bai family was always one of the three regular guests, and one of the top three seats would definitely be reserved for the Bai family.
Although Bai Xiaolong was never among those invited, as a member of the Bai family, he naturally understood what it meant.
Bai Xiaolong sighed, took the Hong Kong entertainment news magazine handed to him by the servant, and began to flip through it out of sheer boredom.
He soon saw Fat Boy's image on a newspaper page.
After he carefully read the news, he was furious!
It turns out that after the crow caused trouble last time, it didn't stop there. In the following two weeks, people went to the film set to cause trouble several times.
Fat was also hit on the head with a steel pipe by a thug and was sent to the hospital.
When Fat Chow was injured, the company boss did not seek justice for him. Instead, he quickly replaced the male lead, and only then did filming resume.
Upon seeing the news, Bai Xiaolong was furious. He picked up his home phone and dialed a number in Hong Kong.
Soon, a weak voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fa-zai, who was on the other end of the line, quickly recognized Bai Xiaolong's voice. He was surprised that Bai Xiaolong would call him and was stunned for a while. He then asked Bai Xiaolong and learned that Bai Xiaolong had asked the director for his phone number before leaving Hong Kong.
Bai Xiaolong first lashed out at Fa Zai on the phone, but seeing that Fa Zai remained silent, Bai Xiaolong had no choice but to apologize repeatedly.
Fa-zai was speechless at this guy's antics. He was currently in a slump. In fact, his conflict with the company had been brewing for a long time, and Bai Xiaolong's incident was just the last straw.
Fat accepted Bai Xiaolong's apology and explained the background of his own and the company's situation, stating that the responsibility for this matter did not lie entirely with Bai Xiaolong.
Seeing that Fa-zai wasn't in high spirits, Bai Xiaolong felt even more guilty. At that moment, all he could think about was how to repay Fa-zai's kindness, but he was powerless to do so.
Although he was a member of the Bai family, he was just a minor figure on the fringes. What else could he do?
He looked up at the window and saw several servants carrying new lanterns toward the street. These new lanterns were for his great-grandfather's birthday banquet. Although the birthday was still more than half a month away, the servants inside and outside the house were already making preparations.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaolong had a sudden thought. He remembered what his mother had told him before: many important people might be attending this banquet. If he invited Fa Zai to the birthday party and made Fa Zai's appearance in the eyes of those important people, it might help Fa Zai resolve this crisis!
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaolong became excited and shouted to Fa Zai on the other end of the phone.
"Fa-zai, are you off work right now? Perfect timing! I'd like to invite you to the Lion Kingdom for a trip. You can use this time to relax, and there might even be a surprise. I've told you before, I consider you my brother, and I'll definitely help you resolve this matter. Okay, I'll have someone send you the invitation. Remember to come early. Okay, I'm going to go get the invitation from my mom now! We'll talk again when you arrive!"
Without waiting for Fa Zai's reply, Bai Xiaolong hung up the phone and hurriedly ran upstairs to get the invitation from Zhang Xiaojuan!
Fa-zai on the other end of the line looked completely bewildered and only put down the phone after a long while.
The invitation that Bai Xiaolong wanted was not just a simple piece of paper. Even if the world's elite were willing to spend ten million, they couldn't buy an invitation.
This 100th birthday celebration for Bai Jiaxuan was personally ordered by the old king of the Lion Kingdom to be a grand affair. Five years ago, the old king, Zhang Xiaopeng, was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer. His lifespan had already ended, but Bai Jiaxuan kept him alive with his vital energy. Now, five years later, Zhang Xiaopeng's body is also in a state of exhaustion, and his days are numbered.
Today, the Lion Kingdom is the only developed country in Southeast Asia. Although its national income ranks among the top three in the world, it is still a small country. Several years have passed since the war ended, but a new world order has already given rise to more and more ruthless powers, who are eyeing the Lion Kingdom with covetous intent.
The Lion Kingdom's biotechnology, shipbuilding, and high technology are all world-class. Some of its secret and core technologies are unique. Countries have resorted to all sorts of underhanded tactics to obtain these technologies. In the last two years, the powers led by the Bald Eagle have become increasingly unscrupulous, even joining forces with surrounding forces to launch a coup in the Lion Kingdom.
It was against this backdrop that Zhang Xiaopeng decided, before his death, to take advantage of Bai Jiaxuan's 100th birthday celebration to show the world's major powers the true anchor of the Lion Kingdom!
Zhang Xiaopeng's request was ultimately acquiesced to by Bai Jiaxuan.
The reason Bai Jiaxuan agreed to Zhang Xiaopeng's request was simple: his time was almost up.
Having lived in this world for a hundred years, Bai Jiaxuan was getting a little tired of it. He had never given up on cultivating and researching true qi all these years. Twenty years ago, he suddenly gave up his comfortable life and chose to wander, and there was naturally a reason for that.
One day more than 20 years ago, he suddenly felt as if his body was about to float away. The feeling was similar to the feeling of leaving this world, but it was not the same thing.
After careful consideration, he realized that the reason he had this feeling was not because he wanted to leave this world, but because his true energy, which he had cultivated for so many years, was about to break through!
This discovery filled him with joy. He had cultivated himself for so many years precisely to find the secret of life.
Now I've finally found a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, as the only cultivator in the world, he figured out his own way of cultivating true qi. It was all just his own wild research without any predecessors to guide him, so Bai Jiaxuan was never able to break through to the next stage.
In order to find the secret to a breakthrough, Bai Jiaxuan ultimately chose to embark on a cultivation path that he had researched himself.
So for the past twenty years, Bai Jiaxuan has completely disappeared from the world. In the first few years, he would occasionally come back to see his younger relatives, but in recent years, he has rarely shown his face.
Five years ago, when Bai Jiaxuan returned, he discovered that Zhang Xiaopeng had terminal cancer. Bai Jiaxuan eventually took action and used his internal energy to slow down Zhang's condition, but unfortunately, it was only a temporary fix. Now, five years later, Zhang Xiaopeng's life has come to an end.
After some consideration, Bai Jiaxuan finally agreed to Zhang Xiaopeng's dying request.
Twenty years of cultivating his mind were not without reward; Bai Jiaxuan felt that his breakthrough was just around the corner.
He had already realized that if he could break through this barrier, he might see a whole new world, and perhaps he could even find the secret to his true dream.
This breakthrough is not like the breakthrough from Golden Core to Nascent Soul in fantasy dramas. Instead, it's like being trapped in an egg, and once you break free, you will evolve into another kind of creature.
Whether this egg will hatch into a chick or a prehistoric behemoth, Bai Jiaxuan didn't know. He only knew that once he broke through the eggshell, he would undergo a qualitative change!
Once he successfully broke through, he had a vague feeling that from then on, he could return at any time, and even enter a dream at any time!
Chapter 70: Excuse me, can I hitch a ride?
Inside a secret military base of the Bald Eagle, the elevator slowly descends and finally stops on the twelfth underground floor.
Inside the twelfth underground level, the lights were on, and countless soldiers in biohazard suits were busy at work.
The elevator doors opened, and a white man with a four-star general's rank on his shoulder stepped out of the elevator with a stern face.
Behind him, a group of officers filed out and, soon led by one of them, headed toward a transparent isolation room.
Standing outside the isolation room, the white general watched as a row of high-pressure cryogenic chambers slowly opened.
The general looked at the row of naked experimental subjects in the cryogenic chamber and asked a bespectacled man next to him in a serious tone.
"Dr. Feli, when can the new experimental subjects be used in actual combat?"
Dr. Feli adjusted his glasses and replied somewhat uncertainly.
"The testing of the new experimental subjects has now entered its third phase and is basically complete. However, we have also found that the stability of these experimental subjects is not perfect. It will probably take another two years or so before they can be put into actual combat!"
Upon hearing the doctor's words, the white general frowned immediately and turned to speak to the doctor in an unfriendly tone.
"It's too late. We need these test subjects soon. I need you to complete the weapon implantation within three days. A week later, these test subjects will be deployed in actual combat!"
Upon hearing the general's words, Dr. Ferry hurriedly tried to explain, but before he could speak, the general interrupted him.
"Doctor, if you still want funding for the next round of experiments, then please shut up and do as I say!"
Dr. Feli was speechless for a moment. He adjusted his glasses and looked at the seven experimental subjects of different heights and races in the isolation room with a deep gaze.
The Bald Eagle secret military base was established in the 1940s, and its main mission was to conduct research on human genetic warriors.
The reason for establishing this secret military base was the kidnapping case that occurred in Shanghai in 1938, which shocked the world.
After the kidnapping, intelligence agents from various countries conducted a unified study and analysis of Chen Zhen and his extraordinary abilities.
The final conclusion was that Chen Zhen did indeed possess power beyond that of ordinary people; in fact, that supernatural power represented a new realm that humanity had never explored before.
Later, various countries conducted a series of studies on the extraordinary power of the human body and established secret research bases in their respective countries. Among them, the bald eagle was one of the best.
Chen Zhen's success story has also attracted countless neurotic geniuses and prodigies from all over the world to conduct in-depth research and creation of extraordinary powers.
Using technology, the bald eagle re-edited human genes, conducting research generation after generation, and finally developed the latest generation of gene warriors.
