Without Ye Jian’s help, Zhao Qin woke up on her own, rubbing her eyes.
“Cousin, are you going back?”
“Let’s go, I’ll walk you home.”
Zhao Qin stretched lazily, “No need, I’m going to sleep here. You can go on your own.”
Ran Tengxiao chuckled, “A grown woman really can’t stay put.”
Zhao Qin’s face flushed, angrily retorting, “What nonsense are you talking about? You should hurry up and find yourself a sister-in-law to keep you in line. ”
Ran Tengxiao narrowed his eyes, and the room temperature seemed to instantly drop.
Realizing she had said something wrong, Zhao Qin obediently stood up, “Cousin, please walk me home.”
Ran Tengxiao went ahead and walked out first.
Zhao Qin waved her fist at Ran Tengxiao’s back.
Who knows if he had ever been deceived by a woman for money or sex and thus became immune to women charms.
She even suspected if her cousin was gay.
Otherwise, with his status and identity, he should have frequent relationships with women just like Ran Tenghui. However, her cousin led a straight and disciplined life, showing no interest in women. Aren’t you supposed to be the leader?
Zhao Qin followed him, dawdling, and walked out of the front door of Bojinlai Casino. A cold wind blew in their faces, and she shivered subconsciously.
The air on the third floor underground was cold and mixed with an unpleasant dampness.
“Ran Tengxiao, you damn mongrel, go to hell!” Suddenly a man sprung out from behind a pillar, brandishing a dagger and viciously stabbing it towards Ran Tengxiao.
Ye Jian’s face changed, and he rushed forward quickly. However, the man moved incredibly fast and was too close. The dagger was about to impale Ran Tengxiao’s neck.
Just then, a stone hit the man’s hand, causing the dagger to “clang” on the ground. A hemp rope suddenly flew over, looped around the man’s neck, and with a strong yank, he was hurled away. He crashed on the floor solidly, and
Zhao Qin even felt a tremble beneath her feet.
She hurriedly stepped forward, “Cousin, are you alright?”
Ran Tengxiao showed no change in his expression, looking ahead with a smile in his eyes, as though he had just narrowly escaped death.
However, Zhao Qin was pale, clearly still in shock.
She followed Ran Tengxiao’s gaze towards the front.
She saw a tall, thin man struggling violently with his hands around his neck, the rope tightening around it. Behind him, a tall, thin figure slowly strolled out of the shadows.
Dressed in black, he looked mysterious and aloof.
The young man raised his right foot and stepped on the man’s head, looking over in their direction.
The voice-controlled lights flickered on and off, adding a ghostly and cold atmosphere.
Even at such a distance, Zhao Qin could feel the overwhelming arrogance in the young man’s eyes.
“So easy to be assassinated, I overestimated you.” The young man snorted coldly.
Ran Tengxiao smiled, showing no embarrassment for being mocked, “Since taking over Xuanwu Hall, countless people have tried to kill me, but I’m still standing intact here, am I not?”
The young man frowned and spoke unhappily, “Are you implying I am interfering in your affairs?”
“I never said that. I should thank you.”
The young man snorted, kicked the man on the ground, and dragged him towards Ran Tengxiao. Ye Jian quickly moved forward, stepped on the man pinned on the ground, who was in such pain that he couldn’t even scream.
Immediately, two men came forward and took him away. Ran Tengxiao took two steps forward, “It’s still early, how about a cup of tea?”
“Drink it yourself, I have other things to attend to. Excuse me.”
He turned around and walked away.
“Wait.”
The young man stopped and looked back, with an apparent hint of impatience.
“Now you are one of my people, but I don’t even know your name.”
“Xi Yu.” He left two words and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhao Qin chased after him, but there was no trace of him left.
“What the hell, running even faster than a rabbit. Are you afraid that this lady will eat you?” Zhao Qin waved her fist at the air.
Ye Jian came over and whispered, “I found out, he’s the one who slipped away from the White Heights Incident last time.”
The matter was quite complicated, and Master Xiao dealt with many people.
Ran Tengxiao waved his hand, “Deal with it.”
“Yes.. “
