Chapter 37 – Sweetheart from the Sky: The Gentle CEO’s Sweet Kiss (37)
The little snow ferret, accompanied by his system, stormed onto the scene with fierce determination. Half of the enforcers had already been taken down, while the remaining ones had managed to restrain He Yuchi. Their leader raised an iron rod, aiming directly at He Yuchi’s head.
At the critical moment, Bai Mo picked up a fallen rod and hurled it forward. It struck the enforcer leader squarely on the knee joint, sending a wave of sharp pain and numbness through his entire body. His legs buckled, and with a heavy “thud,” he collapsed to his knees—right in front of He Yuchi.
“Boss, you…?” His subordinates gawked, utterly dumbfounded at their leader kneeling as if paying deep respects.
He Yuchi seized the opportunity, delivering a sharp kick to the man’s chin. The enforcer leader spun a full 720 degrees in midair before crashing face-first onto the ground.
“Brother Yuchi~”
A soft, sweet voice—like a melody from heaven—echoed through the hallway. Stepping out from the shadows, the young man emerged, bathed in silver moonlight streaming through the windows. A gentle glow surrounded him, his anger melting into tenderness the moment he saw He Yuchi.
“Who hit you?” Bai Mo rushed over, gently cupping He Yuchi’s injured lips, his heart aching at the sight.
“I was worried about you, Mo Mo… I was scared…” —Thank god you’re safe.
He Yuchi smiled softly, his gaze filled with Bai Mo’s reflection. As long as Mo Mo was safe, nothing else mattered.
Even though Bai Mo wasn’t as strong as him, he had still dared to charge into the villain’s lair alone just for his sake. How could that not move him?
“Big idi*t.”
His dear boyfriend was adorably foolish.
“This big idi*t needs a smart Mo Mo by his side.”
He Yuchi grasped Bai Mo’s hand, tilting his body just in time to take down an enforcer who had been creeping up behind them.
“Honestly, what am I going to do with you?”
His dear boyfriend had turned into a “fool” after losing his memory, all because of him. Well, there was only one thing to do—cherish him.
Without looking back, Bai Mo yanked He Yuchi to the side and rolled away just as the enforcers lunged forward. Unable to stop in time, the enemies collided face-first into each other, leaving another chaotic mess in their wake.
“Mo Mo, watch out!”
Xiao Bobao’s sharp eyes caught sight of the enforcer leader pulling out a gun and quickly shouted a warning.
The sound of the safety being disengaged had already echoed through the hallway—it was too late to react.
With no other choice, He Yuchi grabbed Bai Mo and rolled across the ground, dodging the leader’s attack.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Bullets sparked as they struck the walls. The overhead fluorescent light shattered, plunging the hallway into darkness.
Everyone was instantly blinded—except for Bai Mo.
With his exceptional night vision, he could see everything as if it were broad daylight.
More enforcers were closing in, and the leader was armed—fighting head-on wasn’t an option. Bai Mo grabbed He Yuchi and led him upstairs.
As they passed by the storage room, two drivers peeked their heads out, checking the situation.
“Brother Driver…?”
“Bang—!”
Just as Bai Mo spoke, the two drivers caught sight of the pair fleeing in disarray and, startled, immediately slammed the storage room door shut.
Xiao Baobao: “Tsk~ Bai saved them for nothing.”
Their actions were truly disheartening. It was Mo Mo who had saved their lives, yet they acted like ungrateful traitors.
“Xiao Bobao, is there anywhere else safe?”
Bai Mo was also irritated, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. He Yuchi was severely injured after prolonged combat—their priority was finding a place to hide and wait for reinforcements.
Originally, the storage room had been the best hiding spot. Unless someone was specifically looking for it, no one passing through the hallway would have noticed the hidden door in the wall.
“There’s no absolutely safe place. Just keep moving in circles. I’ll open the map and guide you to avoid them.”
Xiao Bobao noticed that the protagonist’s stamina was rapidly depleting. Right now, he could only rely on Mo Mo to support him.
“Mo Mo, I’m holding you back—”
“I’m the one holding you back. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had to come here.”
Bai Mo cut He Yuchi off mid-sentence, then shot him a playful, teasing glance.
“If you keep saying things like that, I’ll run off first and leave the big idi*t here alone to wait for rescue~”
He Yuchi pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
“That works.” —As long as Mo Mo is safe.
Bai Mo: “…?”
I thought I knew my dear boyfriend’s thoughts, but I didn’t completely guess them right.
Men are so hard to understand.
“Saying things like that… You really are a big idi*t.”
As Bai Mo dragged He Yuchi along while running, he sighed in exasperation. So hopelessly unromantic… Oh well, at least he didn’t mind.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, the police had found a female taxi driver unconscious on the roadside. After rushing her to the hospital and reviving her, she immediately grabbed the officer’s hand and reported the crime.
At the same time, the Dan family had also called the police, and the taxi company reported that two of their drivers had gone missing. As law enforcement pieced together the clues, all three cases led to the same suspect—Jianxin Corporation.
Once confirmed, the police quickly mobilized.
As they arrived at Jianxin Corporation, a series of deafening gunshots shattered the silence of the night sky.
Their faces darkened in an instant.
The missing persons case had now escalated to something far more dire—
The situation inside was much worse than they had expected.
…
The main entrance was unguarded, allowing the police to enter the building without resistance. Inside, shattered windows, a ransacked laboratory, and unconscious henchmen littering the halls painted a chaotic scene.
The “celebration” in the office had just ended, leaving behind an indescribable, heavy scent lingering in the air. The burly men who had participated were sprawled across sofas and the floor in exhaustion, with Ji Jian lying among them, a cigarette still dangling from his lips.
The police officers exchanged uncomfortable glances. Gathering for that kind of activity was illegal, and Bai’s father was in a truly pitiful state. Anyone who saw him couldn’t help but feel a surge of sympathy.
Animals. A bunch of beasts.
“Cuff them all.”
Forcing others into such acts and unlawfully imprisoning them—these crimes alone were enough to take them in for questioning. Given that there was still unknown danger upstairs, the fact that they could commit such atrocities under these circumstances spoke volumes. None of them could claim innocence.
Meanwhile, the henchmen upstairs remained oblivious to the police surrounding the building. The head thug, who had been toying with Bai Mo and He Yuchi like a cat with a mouse, grew increasingly frustrated.
Unable to locate them and having been led around in circles, he finally snapped, unleashing a furious, indiscriminate barrage of gunfire into areas he suspected they might be hiding.
The deafening gunshots provided the police with an exact location. Wasting no time, they sprang into action, using their superior training and combat skills to swiftly subdue the remaining thugs.
Realizing that the tide had turned, the head thug, his ammunition spent, chose to go down fighting. If I’m going to die, I’m taking someone with me.
He Yuchi shoved Bai Mo out of the line of fire and engaged in close combat. One fought desperately to take a life, the other fought with everything he had to protect the one he loved. Both were ruthless, putting their all into every strike.
It wasn’t until the police arrived that the battle came to an end. When their warnings were ignored, they intervened, breaking the head thug’s limbs to incapacitate him. Only then did the violence truly cease.
Bai Mo, heart aching, rushed to support the utterly exhausted He Yuchi. As he handed him some water, he secretly mixed in a recovery potion he had exchanged with Xiao Bobao, ensuring He Yuchi drank it down without noticing.
Meanwhile, the female taxi driver, worried about Bai Mo, had insisted on leaving the hospital the moment her IV drip was finished. Accompanied by the police, she arrived at the scene and immediately pointed out Bai’s parents.
“They’re human traffickers! And that driver—” she turned to one of the rescued taxi drivers, her eyes blazing with anger. “He helped them knock me out!”
The accused driver hung his head in shame. Greed had clouded his judgment, and now, faced with the consequences of his actions, regret gnawed at him. If only I hadn’t let myself be tempted by the high price Bai’s parents offered…
The rescued individuals displayed a mix of emotions—joy, regret, fear—each reacting differently to their ordeal.
Regardless of their feelings, all of them were taken in for further investigation. Due to the severity of his injuries, He Yuchi was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
