There was a kind of smile that was more frightening than a sharp knife in the world. The smile of Barry now was the best representative of this smile. Such a horrible sense of hidden knife instantly spread in the dim street light.
Meanwhile, Wendy's heart was beating fast. On the one hand, hearing what Barry said, it seemed that she could find someone to rely on. At least, she didn't need to be afraid of those drunk people on the other side. But on the other hand, she felt that Mr. Wei was a little scary. She might have just come out of the tiger's den and been sent to the wolf's den?
"Mr. Wei! Mr. Barry Wei…"
The men in front of them heard the name of Mr. Wei and seemed to have heard something terrible. They were scared and stepped back.
"I don't know… We were so blind not to know that Mr. Wei was here today! damn! Damn it! " A man, who was stepping back, said, "Mr. Wei, please go ahead with your work. We're leaving now!"
Raising the corners of his mouth, Mr. Wei said, "I haven't finished my words yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Before he finished his words, his bodyguards ran out and surrounded them. The men didn't get drunk. They knelt down on the floor one after another.
Wendy was stunned and her eyes were about to fall from her eyes. Oh, my God! Did they just kneel down in front of Mr. Barry? Who the hell was this man?
"What have these men done to you?" Mr. Wei said that.
Wendy shook her head and said sincerely, "nothing… I ran so fast that they didn't catch up with me. "
"You're so pretty," said Barry with a chuckle.
"Mr. Barry, we really did nothing!"
"I'm sorry!"
There were still wailing over there. Wendy frowned and said to Barry, "they are afraid of you. Can you..."
"Are you afraid of me?" He suddenly interrupted Wendy.
Wendy swallowed the rest of the words and shook her head. "I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Wei."
"Haha..." Barry seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as he waved his hand, his bodyguards rushed back and stood beside him.
The drunken men were relieved and ran away at once.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude to Mr. Wei, "thank you, Mr. Wei. You saved me."
"If I don't save you, won't you run fast?" The playful smile on his face disappeared. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I just came back from the hospital to visit Poppi. This is the short way and I want to go home early." Wendy replied as a primary school student, "however, this place is different from the one I came here. It's filled with ghosts."
Putting his right hand into his pocket, Barry laughed sadly. "We have nothing to do in the daytime, and you don't go in the evening. Especially, as a girl, you don't stand on the roadside. Because this is the famous street for pornography, gambling and drug abuse. "
Her eyes widened and her face turned pale. She was terrified.
"Little beauty, do you need me to send you back?" Seeing that Wendy was scared, Barry couldn't help saying, "no one dares to make trouble here in the daytime. In the evening, it's okay as long as we don't come here."
Wendy nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Wei."
"Yes." "Do you want to play with me in the street?" He asked.
Wendy raised her head suddenly and stared at Barry in disbelief. Pornographic? 'gambling? Poison? What did Barry want to do?
"Mr. Wei… It's all bad! '! We'd better not play. " Wendy was a little anxious. She couldn't help but grab Barry's sleeve and advised, "Mr. Wei, please don't play it! Get out of here as soon as possible. "
A glint of sadness flashed through his eyes which he himself wasn't aware of. He then said, "Okay, I'll leave after you leave." Then he pointed at the spot behind Wendy and replied, "my home is there."
Wendy swallowed and then continued, "Mr. Wei, please go home early!"
"Yes." Barry nodded, "then you're leaving?"
"I, I have to go." Wendy said timidly and bowed. "Mr. Wei, thank you! Bye! "
"Bye."
After saying that, Wendy turned around to leave. Her ponytail flew away slowly. This was the purest back in the dark night where Wendy was sitting.
"You two follow her and send her back." After Wendy walked a little far away, Barry ordered coolly. The two men bowed to Barry and then followed her behind.
After they left, a tall figure and a decent suit came out of nowhere, which didn't go well with the wantonness in the street. He slowly walked to the side of Barry and said indifferently, "he is Wendy Yu, a junior of the Poppi magazine."
"Hey, Malcolm, you haven't come in yet!" Barry Wei and Malcolm stood side by side, pretending to be surprised.
Malcolm snorted, "why did you rush out suddenly and wait for being hit? It turned out you know someone."
