By her side, Assistant Xu En and Doctor Li both heard their conversation. Their sinking hearts still hadn’t eased. Whether or not they could find the needed toxin on Backter Street was another matter.

Moreover, a place like Backter Street…

…would require full armament to enter.

Assistant Xu En looked towards Ji Mulan, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Ask Mr. Ren if there are any familiar mercenaries around.”

Next to them, Bai Lian leaned slightly against the wall.

Her brows and eyes carried a faint expression, eyelashes drooping, as she twirled her phone in her right hand, piecing together cause and effect.

About three minutes later, she looked up at Doctor Li, “Can the mass spectrometer be taken out?”

The mass spectrometer was given to the hospital for research by Jiang Fulai.

It was seldom used.

It would be impossible for anyone else to take it out.

But this person was Bai Lian, so there might be a way.

“If you need it,” Doctor Li put down the examination results in his hands, “I can apply to the hospital director.”

“Thank you,” Bai Lian nodded, gripping her phone, “Are you busy right now?”

Doctor Li shook his head. He was essentially working overtime. He had never seen symptoms like Xu En’s before, so he had stayed to observe his body’s data, which would be his academic paper.

“Okay,” Bai Lian bowed her head, dialing a number on her phone at an unhurried pace, “Bring the mass spectrometer down, I’ll be waiting for you at the hospital entrance.”

Bai Lian walked toward the elevator, pressing the call button, and looking back at Assistant Xu En, “Did you drive here?”

In the corridor’s dim light, her face appeared cold and indistinct.

It bore an elegance with a hint of rebelliousness.

“Yes,” Assistant Xu En replied instinctively.

“Ding—”

The elevator doors opened.

Bai Lian walked in, looking up, “Then come with me.”

**

At the hospital entrance, the assistant brought the parked car over.

Doctor Li, along with several other male doctors, managed to move the mass spectrometer to the hospital’s entrance.

The mass spectrometer was a bit large, but fortunately, the assistant had driven a minivan that day. After folding down the last row of seats, the mass spectrometer fit just right.

Bai Lian sat in the back.

Doctor Li sat down in the front passenger seat.

“Miss Bai, where are we going?” the assistant asked, looking in the rearview mirror, as Bai Lian was looking down at her phone.

Bai Lian, with eyes downcast, leisurely opened a vocabulary database, “Straight ahead.”

Assistant Xu En followed the route Bai Lian had given, finding it more and more familiar as they went.

Finally, after passing through Purest Street and coming to a bridge, both Assistant Xu En and Doctor Li saw the words “Backter Street” at the end of the bridge and gasped.

“Miss Bai, Miss Bai…” Assistant Xu En’s hands and feet became somewhat weak.

He and Xu En had both heard of such places, especially the bar and auction house. Even international mercenaries didn’t fare well there.

Doctor Li wasn’t in much better shape than the assistant.

Both were terrified in their hearts. If they had known Bai Lian intended to direct them here, Assistant Xu En wouldn’t have dared to come, not even if he were at death’s door.

“Keep driving.” Bai Lian didn’t even lift her head, her tone neither cold nor warm.

Assistant Xu En had no choice but to drive forward.

Upon reaching the entrance, they were stopped, and the assistant along with Doctor Li finally let out a sigh of relief.

Neither of them had even considered how Bai Lian knew about this place.

“Miss Bai, this area requires a pass for entry, and Elder Ren said that the earliest would be tomorrow morning,” Assistant Xu En explained as he looked in the rearview mirror, “Moreover, our hired help hasn’t arrived yet. We better leave first!”

Doctor Li, trembling with fear, clutched his seatbelt, “Right, we can’t even enter now…”

Bai Lian finally raised her head, but she didn’t speak, simply looking ahead.

The assistant subconsciously followed Bai Lian’s gaze,

at the entrance, a young man slowly approached. The young man wasn’t old and looked scholarly. Subconsciously, the assistant felt he looked somewhat familiar.

The young man just gave a nod to the person guarding the entrance.

Before Doctor Li could finish speaking, both he and the assistant were dumbfounded to see the gate slowly rising.

Bai Lian put away her phone, lightly tapped the case, and said, “Aren’t we going in?”

“Ah?” The assistant snapped back to reality as a car honked behind them.

At this moment, there was no room for backing down, nor for wondering why the gate was raised. He looked away from Xiaoqi and hurriedly started the car to drive inside.

The Qinglong Bar was right at the entrance.

Bai Lian instructed Assistant Xu En to park the car on the vacant lot opposite.

The Qinglong Bar, like the auction house, had a very conspicuous sign. The name “Azure Dragon” in two languages was arrogantly hung on the side, each character as tall as a floor, shimmering with multicolored lights.

Bai Lian got out of the back seat, stood in place, staring at the illuminated “Azure Dragon” characters, appearing somewhat silent.

“Miss Bai.” Assistant Xu En came to his senses, quickly turned off the engine, and carefully got out of the car.

Then, he looked up at the legendary Qinglong Bar.

A feeling of alarm rose in his heart.

He had heard Xu En mention the Qinglong Bar several times, but he had never been to Backter Street before. It was chaotic here; unless one understood the power dynamics of Backter Street, even Xu En wouldn’t dare say that one could come out safely.

Just then, about a dozen men in black suddenly appeared at the Qinglong Bar.

The leader was a blond man. He glanced left and right and then headed straight towards Bai Lian.

“Those are the Azure Dragon’s men, one of the three major powers of Backter Street. What are they up to?” Assistant Xu En swallowed, recalling what Xu En had told him.

The previous owner who had taken over the territory, Mr. Lu, had some connections with the Qinglong Bar. That’s why even Ren Qian feared him, and Xu En had tried to meet Mr. Lu several times without success.

Some connections could be so influential, let alone the group in front of them who were from the Qinglong Bar itself.

Assistant Xu En felt his heart pound in his throat, “Miss Bai, do you, do you think they’re coming toward us?”

The smell of blood on each of them was strong, giving off a profound sense of oppression.

Even the usually uninvolved Doctor Li realized that these people were no ordinary folks.

His legs shook as he gripped Assistant Xu En’s arm.

He was more panicked than Assistant Xu En; he was just an ordinary doctor. Before this, he had only heard about Backter Street from the elderly, and now he was faced with people from the Qinglong Bar.

Doctor Li watched the blond head straight towards Bai Lian without deviating from his path.

Assistant Xu En also saw that the blond man was heading for Bai Lian.

He turned his head, just about to speak to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian shoved her phone back into her pocket and walked forward, only glancing at Mao Kun, “I told you to find two people to move things. Why did you bring out so many?”

Ten bodyguards parted to create a path for her in an instant.
