Sister and Someone Else's Sister

After the performance ended, the audience began to leave in an orderly fashion.

Bai Ge gave Shao Yuan a look, and Shao Yuan immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him. He has the hepatitis B virus in his body, which is incredibly conspicuous to me. I won't lose him."

After hearing this, Bai Ge smiled. He hadn't expected the Sterility Ring to have such a use.

If a person had a relatively uncommon virus in their body, then even if Shao Yuan occasionally lost sight of the target, he wouldn't have to worry, because he could sense nearby viruses and easily keep up.

"Alright, I'm heading off then. Call me immediately if there are any problems. Don't push yourself," Bai Ge said.

"Understood."

The two parted ways. Bai Ge waited by the entrance, leaning against the wall.

Waves of people walked out, all discussing the magic tricks from earlier.

Tonight was actually a magic performance special for that person. There was a poster of him in the hallway.

Bai Ge looked at the poster and saw the magician's name: Hermes.

He decisively looked it up and discovered it was a fake name. Moreover, Hermes wore a mask, so Bai Ge didn't know what the person looked like.

Just as he was about to check the organizing company for tonight's performance, trying to find the cast list.

A surprised voice rang out, "Brother!"

Bai Ge looked up and smiled at his sister. It was clear that Bai Ye recognized him immediately.

"Still out playing this late?"

Bai Ye didn't answer, she just hugged him. Her cool lips instantly brushed against Bai Ge's cheek.

After feeling her face, Bai Ge held Bai Ye up and laughed, "What's this for?"

Bai Ye was instantly lifted by Bai Ge. He pinched his sister's arm and discovered muscle, sighing inwardly: She's not as soft as she used to be.

His sister was 1.76 meters tall. It seemed their father's genes were good, as both siblings were tall.

As if it were too hot here, Bai Ye's skin had a tanned complexion, and her figure was well-proportioned and very healthy.

Bai Ye said, "It's the local custom!"

"Nonsense. A kiss on the cheek doesn't involve slobbering all over the place," Bai Ge retorted.

"Don't worry about it so much. Why didn't you call me when you came, big brother?" Bai Ye teased.

Bai Ge angrily said, "You're blaming me? Look at your phone!"

It was precisely because he couldn't get through to Bai Ye's phone that he had to speed excessively tonight, causing a massive power outage at the TV station, traffic congestion in three blocks, and a chase by over a dozen police cars.

"Uh..." Bai Ye took out her phone and apologized, "Okay, I forgot to put my phone on silent. The performance was so amazing, I was engrossed and didn't notice."

Bai Ge put his sister down and said, "Never mind. Where are you staying? I'll give you a ride back."

At this moment, a Chinese girl nearby with a strange accent said, "This is your brother? Xiao Ye."

Bai Ye nodded, "Mhm, mhm."

Then she turned to Bai Ge and said, "This is my classmate and roommate, Shirley. She's a local Chinese. We rent a place outside. Brother, where are you staying tonight?"

Bai Ge replied, "I'll take you back first. I'll stay at a hotel and visit you tomorrow morning."

"What hotel? It's so late, have you booked a room yet?" Bai Ye asked, concerned.

"The Hilton, I'll book it shortly."

Bai Ye laughed, "I want to stay there too! Why don't I just not go back tonight?"

"Heh heh..." Bai Ge shook his head. "Do you think you're still little?"

As they chatted and laughed, they walked towards the parking lot.

Bai Ye had come out with Shirley, and it was already past eleven. If Shirley hadn't had a car, Bai Ye wouldn't have dared to be out so late.

Of course, it wasn't that Chinese people were bullied. After all, over 30% of San Francisco's population was Chinese. No matter how powerful a force was, they wouldn't dare to bully Chinese people in San Francisco.

It was mainly a public safety issue. Some places in San Francisco were genuinely chaotic at night.

Bai Ye said, "Last week there was a shootout downtown, and I was right nearby. It was so exciting."

Shirley chuckled, "Bai Ge, right? Your name is quite a mouthful... Don't listen to Xiao Ye bragging. We were far away from that shootout, we could only hear the gunshots. Nothing exciting about it."

Bai Ge asked strangely, "A shootout downtown?"

Shirley replied, "What's wrong? That's the kind of place that truly embodies the style of San Francisco. There are some neighborhoods where the police don't dare to go out alone. I once personally saw gangs sending bombs to houses in the Tenderloin district. An apartment building was blown through three floors. Compared to that, sending razor blades domestically is totally lame."

Bai Ge rubbed his nose. It was indeed wild here. Compared to this, public safety in China was extremely good.

If this were in China, hearing an explosion in a building outside, one would only call 119 and 120, at most thinking it was a gas tank explosion in that household.

But here, the first thing you'd do is call the police, because someone threw a bomb...

This wasn't an exaggeration. The truly exaggerated ones were those playing with RPGs...

Bai Ye laughed, "Brother, don't worry, Shirley is very capable... Shirley, show my brother your gun."

Shirley said, "Let's talk after we get in the car. We can't just pull out guns in public, and why are there so many police officers here?"

The three walked to the parking lot and discovered there were indeed many police officers there.

Bai Ge's expression shifted slightly. Seeing the police cordon off a garage, he knew why...

It was still the aftermath of the previous street race. The pursuing police hadn't left yet. The Chevrolet inside the garage had already been towed out and was being prepared for transport. Many police officers were at the scene, examining tire marks and checking the damaged security cameras.

They had collected a large number of fingerprints, but none of them would be useful. Bai Ge had been maintaining a false "666" for his fingerprints for a long time.

As for Shao Yuan, he had been wearing gloves, so he wouldn't have left any fingerprints either.

The police were destined to find nothing. Apart from checking the car owner, they had no leads.

Just then, Shirley exclaimed, "Huh? Isn't this my brother's car?"

"Hmm?" Bai Ge raised an eyebrow. He had picked up this car randomly in the Chinese community.

Bai Ye said, "Ah! It really is!"

Shirley frowned and walked over to talk to the police.

After getting some information, she made a phone call.

A while later, she returned and said, "My brother's car was stolen. Someone was messing around with his car. They say he was speeding at 180 km/h in the city, and while driving, he hacked into the TV station, causing a blackout."

Bai Ge remained silent. Bai Ye asked, "Is your brother okay?"

Shirley waved her hand. "He's fine. He has an alibi. My brother is in narcotics enforcement and had a mission tonight. He rarely drives his own car, so he didn't expect it to be stolen."

"That person is quite skilled, though. Even the police are openly marveling at it. They must have been greatly impressed."

The police were chasing a criminal, but the criminal got away. Instead of being ashamed, the police were saying the other person was too capable, which clearly showed genuine admiration. Of course, it could also be an excuse for their own incompetence.

The three of them bypassed the cordon and quickly got into Shirley's car.

"You take good care of my sister. Thank you," Bai Ge said from the back seat, expressing his gratitude. He had already asked, and Shirley would accompany Bai Ye if she wanted to leave the Chinese community.

Shirley smiled. "It's not really taking care of her. Your sister sings beautifully, and my grandpa really likes her. Every time our community celebrates the Spring Festival, she's asked to perform on stage. If anyone dares to bully her in San Francisco, I'll shoot them."

The siblings' musical talents were polar opposites.

Bai Ge exclaimed, "That violent?"

Bai Ye giggled. "It's not like she shoots randomly, though. It's just for self-defense. If someone thinks we're easy to bully, Shirley pulls out her gun, and they immediately back down."

Shirley said, "Like this!"

As she spoke, she suddenly pulled a Glock pistol from her bag. The gun was small, with a caliber of only 9mm. She adopted a standard shooting stance, turned, and aimed it at Bai Ge.

Bai Ge glanced at the muzzle of the gun, remaining very calm.

Bai Ye, however, was startled and shouted, "Hey! That's dangerous!"

Bai Ge chuckled. "It's fine. She didn't have the safety on, and there wasn't a round in the chamber."

Shirley nodded. "You know quite a bit. Don't worry, I was just trying to scare you."

Bai Ge shrugged. "But that doesn't always scare people. What if someone else has a gun? Can you shoot?"

Shirley was unconcerned. "I've practiced, but I haven't had a chance to actually use it... I was once surrounded by a group of thugs. As soon as I pulled out my gun, they ran off, which was really anticlimactic."

Bai Ge touched his nose, thinking to himself that this woman was quite formidable.

Shirley put the gun away and said while driving, "Unless it's a gang, very few people carry guns around. After all, there are many places you can't go, and the controls are very strict. And if you look unfriendly, pulling out a gun casually will get you shot by the police."

"Then how can you carry it around?" Bai Ge asked, speechless.

Shirley smiled without answering.

Bai Ye explained, "It's illegal for her to carry a small handgun around. She hides it on her person. If the police find it, it'll be a lot of trouble. Brother, don't tell anyone."

"Ha... why bother?" Bai Ge chuckled.

Bai Ye said seriously, "It's necessary. Her brother has offended many drug dealers. To prevent retaliation against his family, her brother helped her buy this gun."

"Huh? Are you envious?" Bai Ge heard a hint of envy in his sister's voice.

Bai Ye grinned. "It's okay. I can't buy a gun, but Shirley often takes me to play with guns."

"Last month I even fired over thirty rounds... for free!"

"Brother, how long has it been since you last held a gun? Maybe my aim is better than yours now."

Bai Ge looked at his excited sister, feeling speechless.

"Holy crap..."
