CHAPTER 38

"Miss Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Fuhai heard that Bai Xiaojie's voice on the other end of the phone was a little strange, and asked curiously. At this moment, he was on his way to Saijia Fitness, and suddenly remembered that there was a question he had not figured out just now, and wanted to ask Bai Xiaojie again on the phone. As a result, as soon as the call was connected, Xu Fuhai heard Bai Xiaojie's weak voice, with a hint of crying. "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I..." Bai Xiaojie suppressed her emotions and tried to make her voice sound normal, but after saying a few words, her emotions collapsed again and she burst into tears on the phone. "Bai Xiaojie, don't worry, what happened?"

Hearing Bai Xiaojie's cry, Xu Fuhai finally confirmed that she was in trouble and asked in a calm tone, "Mr. Xu, I'm fine. Sorry, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Bai Xiaojie took a few deep breaths, suppressed her emotions, and replied calmly. "My business is not urgent. I'm asking you what's the matter. Forget it, don't tell me on the phone. Where is your home? I'll go there now."

Xu Fuhai asked directly. "Really, no need, Mr. Xu, I... I'm really fine... Woohoo... Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry!"

Listening to Xu Fuhai's concerned voice on the phone, Bai Xiaojie's pent-up grievances and helplessness were magnified again, and she couldn't help crying out loud. The house was in a mess, her husband was drunk and almost raped, and the family suddenly had a huge debt of more than 600,000 yuan. This series of blows suddenly fell on her at the same time. At this moment, Bai Xiaojie felt extremely helpless and desperate. At such a time, Xu Fuhai's casual concern completely shattered her already fragile defenses and made her emotions completely out of control. "Tell me your home address!"

On the other end of the line, Xu Fuhai's voice carried an unquestionable commanding tone. "Chayu Community, Building 11, Unit 2, Room 301."

Bai Xiaojie said weakly. "I'm going over now. Don't hang up. Keep in touch. Tell me if there's anything going on."

After Xu Fuhai finished speaking, he put down the phone and said directly to Lin Mixue who was driving, "Let's not go to Saijia Fitness for now, turn around and go to Chayu Community."

Lin Mixue nodded and turned around at the intersection ahead. After setting the navigation route, she asked with concern, "What happened to her?"

"I don't know. The tone of his voice over the phone sounded a little strange. He was crying. I have to go check it out."

Xu Fuhai said with some worry. "Well, don't worry, do you need to call the police station first?"

Lin Mixue asked. "Not yet, we don't know what the situation is yet, let's see when we get there."

Xu Fuhai waved his hand and said, "Okay, her residential area is not far from here, only three blocks away, and it will take a few minutes to get there."

As Lin Mixue spoke, she stepped on the accelerator a little deeper and increased the speed of the car. A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination. After registering with the security guard, they drove directly into the community. The community is not big, with only a dozen buildings. The exteriors are relatively old, at least twenty years old. After finding Building 11 and parking the car, Xu Fuhai got out and walked upstairs. Lin Mixue also wanted to go upstairs, but Xu Fuhai asked her to wait in the car and not to turn on the lights, in case there was any situation and he needed her to talk to him. Lin Mixue nodded. Xu Fuhai went up to the third floor along the dim corridor. The lights in the corridor were broken. He used the light from the mobile phone screen to find the door of Room 301 and knocked. There was no response from the inside of the door. Xu Fuhai was a little surprised. He confirmed the room number again and said to the phone that had been in call mode: "Bai Xiaojie, are you still listening? I just arrived at your door and knocked but there was no response."

As soon as Xu Fuhai finished speaking, the security door in front of him "clicked" and opened from the inside. The moment the door opened, Xu Fuhai saw Bai Xiaojie standing inside. She was still wearing the bank uniform she had just worn when she had dinner with him, but it looked disheveled at the moment. The collar was torn, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white, and there were some disgusting stains on the hem and skirt. Her long hair was scattered, and her originally delicate face was now full of tear marks. There was a trace of bright red blood at the corner of her mouth, and a clear palm print on the right side, which was obviously particularly shocking! Looking at this scene in front of him, even though Xu Fuhai had been mentally prepared, he was still surprised. "Bai Xiaojie, what's going on?"

Xu Fuhai asked anxiously. "Mr. Xu..." Bai Xiaojie uttered these words weakly. She wanted to pull up the corners of her mouth to smile, but the next second, it was as if all the strength in her body was drained, and she fell softly to one side. Xu Fuhai was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly held her waist and supported her body. Bai Xiaojie was petite, and Xu Fuhai easily helped her to the sofa and let her lie down. Only then did he take the time to look around her house. There was garbage all over the room, clothes piled up in a mess, and a pungent smell of cigarettes and alcohol. It didn't look like a home at all! At this moment, another "wow" came from the bedroom. Xu Fuhai got up and took a look inside, and saw a thin man lying on the bed at an angle, with vomit all over the bed and the floor. A nauseating smell came to his face, making Xu Fuhai frown. Turning his head and looking at Bai Xiaojie who was unconscious on the sofa, Xu Fuhai hesitated for a moment, then walked straight to her, bent down and picked her up. Kicking away a trash can blocking his way, Xu Fuhai carried Bai Xiaojie downstairs. Lin Mixue was sitting in the car. Seeing Xu Fuhai carrying Bai Xiaojie down, she quickly got out of the car, opened the back door, and helped him put Bai Xiaojie into the car. Lin Mixue was also frightened by Bai Xiaojie's appearance. She quickly found tissues and towels in the car and helped her clean up. Then she asked anxiously: "What happened to her, Old Xu? Was she beaten by her husband? How could he be so cruel!"

Looking at the purple palm print, Lin Mixue took a breath of cold air. "I don't know. When I entered the room, she just said something and then passed out. Forget about it for now. Send her to the hospital for a checkup. By the way, her husband drank too much and vomited all over the room. Please contact the nearby clinic and cleaning service and ask them to come and help."

Xu Fuhai ordered. "Okay, I'll do it in a moment."

Lin Mixue said as she started the car and drove towards the nearest hospital. On the way, Bai Xiaojie woke up slowly. The scenery in front of her gradually became clear, comfortable leather seats, luxurious decorations, pleasant fragrances, and familiar scenes. Turning her head slightly, Bai Xiaojie saw Xu Fuhai on the side, and then she realized that she was in his car, and hurriedly struggled to get up. "Mr. Xu, why am I... in your car."

Bai Xiaojie tried to prop herself up and said. She didn't have any strength in her body, as if she had used up all of it in the fight with Maozi just now. "Don't move, I'll take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup. Don't worry about your family, I've asked Michelle to arrange for someone to take care of your husband."

Xu Fuhai reached out and held Bai Xiaojie's shoulders, gently helped her back to her seat and said, "I'm so embarrassed, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Bai Xiaojie looked at Xu Fuhai with an apologetic look in her eyes. "It's no trouble. You are my service specialist and have helped me with a lot of things in the past two days. To be honest, I have caused you more trouble."

Xu Fuhai said half-jokingly, "Mr. Xu, those are my duties, you don't have to be polite to me."

Bai Xiaojie nodded to Xu Fuhai, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the hospital for a checkup to see if there's anything wrong."

Xu Fuhai said as they were about to arrive at the hospital parking lot. Bai Xiaojie wanted to refuse, but Xu Fuhai and Lin Mixue helped her out of the car and sent her to the emergency room. After a checkup, it was found that there was nothing serious, just a stress reaction caused by excessive shock and anxiety, and the redness and swelling on her face were just skin injuries. She was prescribed some sedatives and anti-edema and analgesic drugs and she would be fine. Lin Mixue went to get the medicine, and while waiting, Xu Fuhai got a general idea of ​​what happened. After understanding the whole story, Xu Fuhai felt a little emotional. He felt that Bai Xiaojie had such a useless and bastard husband, and he also felt that Bai Xiaojie's courage and luck. Apart from anything else, if Bai Xiaojie was a little weak today and let that guy succeed, her life would be ruined. When Lin Mixue came back, Xu Fuhai briefly told her what happened, and Lin Mixue was angry and distressed. "That bastard is such a jerk! We must not let him off. Old Xu, you have to help Bai Xiaojie vent her anger!"

Lin Mixue said angrily while sitting next to Bai Xiaojie, gently hugging her shoulders, and took out the swelling-reducing ointment she had brought back and gently applied it to her wound. "No, I'll handle this matter myself. I can't trouble you, Mr. Xu, anymore."

Bai Xiaojie said quickly. "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. You are my service specialist. I will not just watch and do nothing if something like this happens."

Xu Fuhai consoled him. "Old Xu, Bai Xiaojie is in this situation now, and her husband is so drunk, so she can't stay at home. Why don't we let her stay with us tonight?"

Lin Mixue helped her apply the medicine and said as she helped her up, "No, no, no, this won't work. I'd better go home. I've already troubled you enough!"

Hearing Lin Mixue's words, Bai Xiaojie quickly declined. "It's not a problem. I have plenty of rooms. Don't worry, I'll let Mixue take care of you at night. I'm worried about you going home like this. Stay at my place for one night. I'll help you with your problem tomorrow. Let's go!"

Xu Fuhai said in a tone that could not be questioned. After listening to Xu Fuhai's words, Bai Xiaojie had no choice but to nod and accept his suggestion. After leaving the hospital, Bai Xiaojie sat in Xu Fuhai's car again, leaning back in the comfortable and soft seat, looking at Xu Fuhai beside her, and she actually felt an inexplicable sense of stability in her heart. The slender body of the Mercedes-Benz Maybach slowly slid out of the parking lot and disappeared into the night.
