Chapter 291 Designated Escort
Chapter 291 Designated Escort
After greeting Mule and the others, Han Che started walking towards the conference room.
At that moment, Boss Jin, who was standing behind him, turned his head and caught a glimpse of Han Che entering out of the corner of his eye.
Boss Jin's greasy, chubby face suddenly lit up with excitement, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline.
He immediately twisted the camera on his phone, shoving it directly at the live stream audience, and yelled, "Did you see that, viewers?!"
"The person walking past now is Han Che, the main assault soldier that their 78 Club used to boast about, saying he single-handedly defeated Saeed in the dam!"
"Look at him, hiding like a coward, too ashamed to even show his face! This trash club of theirs can't even protect their employees, and they dare to fight Saeed? They're just kidding!"
Han Che didn't even bother to glance at this clown. He simply pushed open the conference room door, grabbed Qi Yuzhe who was watching the spectacle with amusement, and nimbly slipped inside, shutting out the noisy shouts and curses outside.
The meeting room was dimly lit with the curtains drawn, and Xiaobai was sitting in a seat near the back.
Her usually neat long hair looked somewhat disheveled, her face appeared pale, and she exuded an indescribable helplessness.
Hearing the door open, Xiaobai turned around.
"Xiao Bai, are you alright?" Han Che walked quickly to the desk and asked in a low voice with some concern.
Upon seeing Han Che's figure appear in front of her, Xiao Bai's previously tense shoulders relaxed considerably in an instant.
She looked up, managed a weak smile, and said softly, "You're here, Han Che. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time."
"What exactly happened? Wasn't that scoundrel already proven wrong by our successful and safe evacuation a few days ago? Why is he suddenly acting crazy again today?" Han Che asked, frowning.
Xiao Bai twisted her two little hands together. "Yesterday afternoon, the approval for our club's next Zero Dam spot came through. But this morning, before the club even opened, Boss Jin was already there with his entourage, waiting at the door."
"Based on the information he just blurted out outside, I can roughly conclude that he is one of the Joker Gang members who received our message about going to the dam and came here specifically to cause trouble."
"What demands did he make that he's making such a fuss about now?" Han Che asked coldly.
"He demanded that our club take him along on the next operation on Dam Zero."
"Moreover, he demanded that you, Han Che, personally escort the entire operation."
"Me?" Han Che was taken aback.
"Yes, it's you." Xiaobai sighed. "That guy surnamed Jin said that last time he went in, he didn't manage to get out, while other bosses made a fortune by going in, just because you weren't there to protect them."
"He demands an explanation from us. He says that since everyone online is praising you, Han Che, as a master capable of defeating Said, then you must personally take him inside this time."
"If you can get him out safely, he will clarify the negative public opinion for us in the live broadcast room; if you don't dare to take him out, or if he dies inside, he will completely ruin the reputation of our club in the industry."
As Xiao Bai spoke, her fair face turned bright red with anger. "Before you came, I refused his request, so he immediately started making a scene in the live stream."
"You rejected him?" Han Che asked in surprise, after all, this concerned the reputation of Club 78, and Xiao Bai actually rejected him outright.
"This is obviously a trap!" Xiaobai slammed his fist on the table angrily. "Last time, the Joker Gang sent a full 15 people to surround and kill us. If they bring that bastard from outside into their team this time, and he exposes our team's whereabouts, then this will be terrible."
"Han Che, you absolutely mustn't let this scoundrel lead you by the nose just because of the club's current public relations crisis!"
"At worst, we'll lay low for a while. We won't go to Dam Zero tomorrow. We absolutely can't just stand by and watch you get framed and betrayed by them!"
However, Han Che, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but lower his head and laugh out loud.
"Hehehe, it seems that Brother Qiang has his eye on me. Last time, a group of them failed to catch me, and he's not satisfied, so he set up this trap for me. Interesting."
"If that's the case, then things are easier to discuss." Han Che turned around and gave Qi Yuzhe a look.
Qi Yuzhe raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, looking indifferent.
"What do you mean?" Xiaobai was bewildered by Han Che's sudden laughter.
Han Che waved his hand, "It's alright, that makes things easier. Agree to his request, and we'll escort him tomorrow. Qi Yuzhe and I will go and escort this guy, what's his name again? Boss Jin, right?"
"Huh?" Xiaobai looked completely confused. "Han Che, did you even hear me? This is a trap for you! How could you agree to this? My club doesn't need its members to sacrifice themselves for the club's benefit..."
Han Che raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Bai, and looked solemnly into Xiao Bai's eyes, "Trust me, there won't be any problems."
"Besides, he likes to cause trouble, so let's play along. I was just wondering how to let the bald eagle know we're tough, and here's our chance to show off!"
Then his gaze fell on Qi Yuzhe, who nodded in understanding, and the two smiled at each other.
After a brief exchange, the meeting room door was pushed open from the inside.
Han Che, Qi Yuzhe, and Xiao Bai, whose expression was still somewhat tense, walked out side by side.
The boss, who was originally spitting as he spoke to the receptionist in the lobby, immediately turned his back and excitedly turned the camera around when he saw the key figure appear.
Xiao Bai walked to the center of the club's front desk, facing Boss Jin's live broadcast camera, and raised his voice slightly, "Boss Jin, after careful consideration by our 78 Club, we have decided to fully agree to your escort request that you made early this morning."
"Tomorrow's Operation Zero Dam will be conducted with escort services provided by our club's Han Che, in accordance with your designated roll call request."
"I hope that Mr. Kim will also strictly and unconditionally abide by the club's rules and regulations. I wish both of us a pleasant cooperation this time."
He said it was a pleasure to cooperate, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on Xiaobai's face.
Upon hearing Xiaobai's public statement, Boss Jin's chubby face immediately revealed an arrogant, even triumphant, expression.
He moved the phone camera away from Xiao Bai's face, deliberately lowering his eyes to the very bottom of his nose, and looked Han Che, who was standing next to Xiao Bai, up and down with a nasty and contemptuous gaze.
"You're Han Che? The one who defeated Saeed?"
"It's me." Han Che's expression was icy.
