rebirth against the times

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, but eventually broke up on bad terms. However, Bai Shuo did not expect to achieve his goal through just one contact.

In order to facilitate the next contact, Bai Shuo and others stayed at the Marriott Hotel in the Renaissance Center. In theory, if you want to discuss with Lao Han again, you only need to make a phone call and meet again in a few minutes.

After dinner, Bai Shuo, Anna, and Cao An left the hotel to explore the city's heritage up close.

Hans told Bai Shuo that Detroit is also the music capital of the United States, and music is one of the main features of Detroit nightlife. The city has two of the top live music venues in the United States: DTE Energy Music Theater and Auburn Hills Palace.

Detroit also has the second most seated theater in the United States. In addition, major theaters include the Fox Cinema, the Detroit Opera House and the Fisher Theater. The Detroit Music Hall is the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra...

However, Hans also told Bai Shuo to go back earlier, because the racial problem in Detroit is serious and the public security is not very good. The drug and public security cases here are also among the top in the entire United States.

Bai Shuo did not go far, nor did he go to any music venues to experience the magic of music in Detroit. He just walked along the banks of the Detroit River and enjoyed the completely different scenery on both sides.

Cao An couldn't stand such a peaceful atmosphere. At one moment he suggested going to a bar to have fun, and at another moment he clamored to call Hans and the others out for a late-night snack. It really didn't work. Even if he went to a concert, there would at least be some noise.

Seeing that Bai Shuo remained unmoved, Cao An said depressingly: "Brother Shuo, we used to go crazy in bars, KTVs, and late night snacks until we had enough fun. Why do I feel like you don't have the energy you had before?"

I feel... I feel like you..."

"What do you think of me?" Bai Shuo rolled his eyes at Cao An angrily.

"It feels like you have suddenly become very old-fashioned in the past few years. You are only a few months older than me."

Cao An's words really touched Bai Shuo's heart. How did Cao An know that although Bai Shuo looked similar to himself, he actually had an extra fourteen years of vicissitudes in between, during which he also experienced betrayal, life and death. Naturally, compared to Cao An

It seems more calm.

"The word old-fashioned is not quite right. I think mature and steady should be more appropriate." Bai Shuo retorted.

"Haha, come on, after I said that, you are still pretending. You really agree with what I said, men have to pretend."

Speaking of this, Cao An suddenly seemed to think of something: "Hey, by the way, did you watch last month's "Men's Wear"? Those two model sisters are not bad, they have really hot bodies..."

Seeing that Cao An couldn't do without women, Bai Shuo said angrily: "Why do you still read such things?"

Cao An was unhappy when he heard this: "Brother Shuo, look at what you said, didn't you also like to read it before? I still remember that when the first issue was published five years ago, you recommended it to me..."

With a black line on his face, Bai Shuo inadvertently looked back at Anna, who was admiring the scenery on the river two meters away to the left.

When he found that Anna didn't seem to have any reaction, he felt relieved and sternly scolded: "You idiot, who recommended you to watch it? Your media company has so many businesses to contact beautiful women, and you haven't seen enough..."

"That's different. The beauties dressed in men's clothing are more bold, individual, and have wild charm..."

"If you keep talking, be careful and I'll kick you..." Bai Shuo pretended to raise his foot to stop Cao An from continuing.

Cao An also dodged a diagonal thrust and jumped out of Bai Shuo's attack range.

"Oh, shit...fakeyou" (Shit...fuck!)

Cao An unknowingly bumped into a black guy wearing a floral T-shirt, which caused him to scold him.

Seeing that he bumped into someone, Cao An immediately apologized to the other person, but the other person seemed a little reluctant and pressed towards Cao An step by step.

Upon seeing this, Bai Shuo immediately stepped forward to offer some kind words and apologized to the other party together with Cao An.

When the black boy saw Bai Shuo approaching, he was very dissatisfied and said, "Oh, you are taking advantage of the large number of people, right?"

Bai Shuo quickly explained: "Hey, brother, we didn't mean that, we just wanted to clarify the misunderstanding with you..."

But no matter what Bai Shuo said, the other party was still entangled. In the end, Cao An took out one hundred meters as compensation, and the black boy left cursing.

"Damn, the people in this place are really dark, and they have dark hearts." Cao An said a little depressed.

"Okay, we are not familiar with the place where we live, and racial conflicts are quite prominent here. There is no need to cause too much trouble. Let's just spend money and avoid disaster."

At this time, Anna came over and said coldly: "Don't be too idealistic. Sometimes spending money may not avoid disaster..."

After saying that, he walked straight forward.

Bai Shuo and Cao An chased after him.

"Why do you think I shouldn't give him money?" Cao An asked.

Anna said nothing.

"Look at him like that, it's hard to get rid of him without giving him some sweetness." Cao An said again.

Anna still didn't speak, just looked at the river quietly.

After a few minutes, the black guy came back again and caught up with him. This time he brought five other people with him.

"Hey, you just hit my brother. One hundred yuan is too little. Let alone go to the hospital, even if you rest at home for a few days, the lost work compensation will be more than that."

Bai Shuo's eyes shrank, he didn't expect that Anna would really be the one to do it. These people clearly thought that they were stupid and rich, so they returned to threaten more benefits.

"What do you want?"

The black boy hesitated for a moment and then said, "At least one thousand yuan... no, at least two thousand yuan."

Cao An was shocked: "What?! I said brother, I bumped into you, but you were not injured in any way. Isn't it a little too much for you to do this?"

"Who said I wasn't injured? I still feel pain all over my body, maybe I suffered internal injuries. 1800, no more," the black boy responded.

Seeing that he could not explain clearly, Cao An approached Bai Shuo and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shuo, what should I do? Do you want to give it to them?"

Bai Shuo shook his head: "This is the trouble you caused with the hundred yuan just now. If you give me more, they might expect more..."

"what is it now?"

"No compromise!"

After reaching a consensus, Cao An immediately said loudly: "Brothers, are you trying to blackmail someone? Do you want money? If you think there is anything wrong, we can go to the hospital together or call the police..."

"Haha, call the police? Here, fists are the law. If you want to know who is more reasonable, let's use our fists to speak."

Seeing that the other party wanted to take action, Bai Shuo immediately advised: "Brothers, we are new here and don't know the rules. We don't really want to call the police. We can discuss anything. However, your request is indeed a bit excessive, and we can't give you that much.

Rich."

At this time, one of the people on the other side looked at Anna on the side, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "It's okay if you don't have money. This girl can be considered compensation for playing with us brothers..."

After saying that, those people all burst out laughing.

"Oops, something is going to happen..." Bai Shuo shouted in a deep voice.

Before he finished speaking, a figure shot out, like a bolt of lightning, straight into the center of the six opponents.

Before many people could react, they screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

Although two people escaped Anna's series of blows, they were unable to parry. After Anna's chop and side kick, the two could no longer stand up.

In less than ten seconds, Anna had returned to Bai Shuo's side again.

Both Bai Shuo and Cao An were shocked by Anna's lightning attack.

"Anna...you...your skills seem to be more powerful?" Bai Shuo said in surprise.

"Beauty Anna, are you learning something new from Shaoyangzi?" Cao An also asked.

Anna ignored Bai Shuo and Cao An and stared at the six people on the ground: "Who wants me to play with him?"

The six people wailed and begged for mercy.

Anna walked over again and stretched out her hand to the black guy: "Bring it here!"

The black guy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, he quickly took out the hundred yuan that Cao An had given him before, and gave it back to Anna.

Anna then turned around and handed the one hundred yuan to Bai Shuo: "Okay, it's all settled, we should go back."

Bai Shuo did not take the money, but suddenly grabbed Anna's sleeve because he found that a small piece of Anna's sleeve was damaged in the fight just now.

"Look at you, your clothes are all torn."

Anna withdrew her arm and glanced slightly: "Then do you want to ask them to compensate?"

Bai Shuo glanced at the six people lying behind Anna: "Haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the compensation even if I sell them. Don't go back yet, see if the mall is closed, and then I'll buy you a new one."

Anna hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, let's make do with it for now, we can't find a suitable one at this late hour."

Bai Shuo suddenly remembered that there was a women's clothing store that hadn't closed on the way just now, and the clothes inside seemed pretty good. "Hey, I know there's a pretty good women's clothing store over there. The clothes inside are quite unique, maybe.

suits you?"

"Do you have personality?" Anna glanced at Bai Shuo with disdain: "Does it have more personality than the man's disguise?"

After that, he walked towards the way he came from without looking back.

Bai Shuo was suddenly startled. It turned out that Anna had heard everything he said before, and he instantly felt that his personality had collapsed.

He glared at Cao An fiercely: "Damn fat man, men pretend all day long... Pretend! Pretend to be your sister! If you don't leave quickly, let's see how much trouble you will cause..."

After that, he chased after Anna.

Just after taking a few steps, I suddenly heard a strong voice from behind: "Does the person who hit me want to leave like this?"

Bai Shuo and the other three suddenly stopped and turned around quickly.

I saw four more burly men beside the six people, and the leader was slowly walking towards Bai Shuo.

When Cao An saw the person coming, he was immediately frightened and whispered: "Brother Shuo, this group of people is not simple, be careful..."

Bai Shuo ignored Cao An's warning, looked directly at the visitor and asked calmly: "What do you want to do?"

The big guy quickly walked up to him, and using his height and size advantages to press Xiang Baishuo, he suddenly said in Mandarin: "This time, I won't drink Erguotou..."
