The car door continued to be knocked on incessantly, leaving Jennie Laura speechless. If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn't have brought Bidegla with her. But now, wanting to leave seemed too late. Putting on a smile, she slowly rolled down the car window.Suddenly, a blinding flash of light came from outside. Before Jennie could even speak, the reporters had already spotted Bidegla sitting in the passenger seat. Some with sharper eyes even recognized him right away. Who would be so bored as to dress up like that?"Mr. Bidegla, how do you view the matter at hand?" a reporter's question rang out from outside, followed by another blinding flash of light.Upon hearing his words, the others instantly reacted, and all the cameras were focused on Bidegla."Mr. Bidegla, why are you so fearsome in your actions?""This time you were injured by the robbers, do you have any lingering effects?""You are called an urbanite, how do you see yourself?""Please ask....""Mr. Bidegla...."All sorts of questions poured out without end. In just a few breaths' time, these reporters had asked dozens of questions, and it seemed they weren't about to stop anytime soon.At this moment, Bidegla truly understood the difficulties faced by those celebrities. It was unbearable to be pestered like this day after day.There was no way around it. In the end, Bidegla had to remove his disguise. Since he had already been recognized, there was nothing to fear.Opening the car door, Bidegla was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, bombarded with another round of questions. There was no choice but to speak up: "If you continue to surround me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer any of your questions." His voice was loud, and after hearing him, each reporter took a few steps back, not daring to push forward.Because it was clear to everyone that Bidegla seemed willing to be interviewed."Ask whatever questions you have," Bidegla said helplessly.Afterward, there was another barrage of questions, making Bidegla unsure of where to start. These people seemed determined to extract information about his entire family tree.What left Bidegla speechless was that one of the freckled female reporters even asked if he had a girlfriend. Was that a normal question to ask during an interview?"Alright, you can stop now," Bidegla said as they seemed to be going on and on."I have summarized the questions you asked, so after I answer, don't refuse to stop bothering me. Otherwise, I'll have to call the police and report you for disturbing my normal life," Bidegla spoke confidently."Mr. Bidegla, please go ahead," a reporter said, and a microphone was handed to him, as if interviewing a celebrity."First, my skills are not impressive. That power only emerged when my life was threatened. If you were in a dangerous situation, you too would unleash strength beyond your limits." Bidegla's words startled the reporters.If they had to experience the same thing, they wouldn't just resist; they'd be shaking in their boots."Second, my arm has been treated by a skilled physician and is now fully recovered, with no lingering effects.""Third, I am not an urbanite. That kind of character only exists in movies and is not me. I'm just an ordinary citizen, so in the future, media, please don't come digging for my personal information, because I don't like it."With that, Bidegla turned and walked into his Audi TT, leaving the reporters with just his back view.Many people long to become a celebrity, but rather than reveling in it, Bidegla talked candidly in front of the media about his aversion to being disturbed."Jennie , hurry up and drive," Bidegla said to the still-stunned Jennie , as they quickly left the scene in their car, leaving behind a group of reporters who were eager to follow.Bidegla's calm and composed demeanor in the face of numerous media personnel left Jennie in awe, and when she heard his words, she finally snapped out of it.As they sped away, Bidegla realized firsthand how troublesome fame can be, and he was eager to put some distance between themselves and the jeweler's shop."Did they follow us?" Jennie asked with a hint of trepidation, amazed by the reporters' dedication, more professional than paparazzi."No," Bidegla said, relieving Jennie's anxiety."Where are we going now?" Bidegla inquired casually."I don't know," Jennie replied, but then she remembered something and added, "By the way, didn't you help me alleviate my pain last time? I recently mentioned it to my brother, and he said his father also has some health issues, so I recommended you to him."Jennie blushed as she recalled the incident when Bidegla rudely tore her nightgown, yet despite the exposure, the memory still filled her with sweetness."Let's go and see him," Bidegla said, not refusing the request, figuring that any encounter was better than facing a group of reporters.Bidegla was impressed by Ned Duda's favorable impression of him and was eager to return the favor since Ned had initially allowed him to choose a jadeite stone for free. However, as a half-baked doctor, he was not confident in his medical skills.If the situation called for it, he knew he would need to intensify his training and master his medical skills to be able to handle it with ease.Ned Duda's home was located in another upscale villa area of Zhuhai City, where only government officials resided, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.However, Bidegla had already informed Ned of their arrival, so when they reached the gate of the villa, Ned was already waiting for them."Duda, let's go in," Jennie called out as they got out of the car."Let's go, I'll take you inside first," Ned said to Bidegla and Jennie , then informed the guard to let them in."Brother, you were really brave this time. Those were real armed robbers, and you dared to confront them. I admire your courage," Ned whispered to Bidegla on the way, giving him a thumbs-up.As a government official, Ned was well aware of Bidegla's heroic actions. When he first met Bidegla, he was a shy young man, but now he realized that Bidegla had been hiding his true character."Brother Duda, you are joking. I do not possess such extraordinary skills. The limit strength I displayed was only brought out under the threat of life and death. At least for now, I am certain that I cannot achieve it." Bidegla chuckled and casually brushed off the statement."Alright, you can keep pretending, young man. With such remarkable skills, I will entrust my safety to you in the future." Ned Duda patted Bidegla on the shoulder, with a camaraderie that left Jennie Laura speechless.Ned Duda's home was a three-story villa, not as luxurious as the Bamboo City No.1, but still an impressive acquisition in the coveted territory of Zhuhai City.Moreover, it seemed that Ned Duda's father was the Secretary of the Zhuhai City Party Committee. The last time they met with important figures like Stuart Buzer, it was unclear if he was among them. Pondering this, his expression turned somewhat strange.Upon opening the door, Bidegla and his company were met with an interior that was not modernized, but exuded an antique charm, furnished in a retro style.There was a tranquil force in the air that made it a leisurely retreat."You two make yourselves at home, I will go call my father down." Ned Duda spoke before running up the stairs.At that moment, the kitchen door opened and a middle-aged woman poked her head out. Upon seeing Jennie Laura, the woman's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she hurriedly stepped out.This woman, nearing fifty, showed no signs of aging on her face. Her impeccable maintenance made her look as youthful as a woman in her twenties."Jennie, you haven't visited me in a long time. Have you forgotten about Aunt Hadi?" The middle-aged woman spoke with a hint of reproach."Aunt Hadi, how could I forget you? I've just been so busy lately, or else I would have come to see you sooner." Jennie Laura clung to the woman, displaying a hint of coquetry."You sweet talker." The middle-aged woman's face revealed a loving smile, before turning her gaze towards Bidegra."Is this your boyfriend?" Simon Hadi spoke with a hint of ambiguity."Of course not..." Upon hearing Aunt Hadi's words, Jennie Laura's face immediately turned red, neither admitting nor denying, just continually shaking Simon Hadi's arm."I understand." Seeing Jennie Laura's girlish posture, Simon Hadi suddenly understood everything. With a suggestive smile, she said, "Young man, don't mind her. Feel free to help yourself here, just like it's your own home.""Thank you for your kind offer, Auntie." Bidegla responded somewhat awkwardly.However, just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. It was Ned Duda leading a dignified middle-aged man.Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Bidegla couldn't help but smile wryly. Although he didn't know this City Party Secretary, he had seen him at a recent reception.Bidegla caught sight of the man, and the man also noticed him. However, the look of astonishment in Morton Duda's eyes was quickly concealed, not revealing even a hint of it."Bidegra, this is my father." Ned Duda introduced."Hello, uncle." Bidegla courteously greeted."Hello to you too." Seeing Bidegra's politeness, Morton Duda was somewhat pleasantly surprised. Despite being the top official in Zhuhai City, compared to Bidegra, he felt a significant distance between them.A rising star like Bidegla could easily surpass him, and as a disciple of the Ghost Seer, Bidegra's future potential was evident. So, despite Bidegra's current lack of status, it wouldn't be long before he reached heights that Morton Duda could hardly aspire to.
