Chapter 1377: Chapter 1374: Back to Square One
The man looked at the child and chuckled as if finding it amusing.
"Oh, kids these days are really something, they can say anything."
The man walked over and kicked the plate of noodles in front of him.
"Eat, eat it up." He said, "Here, you dare to be picky with me; you’re lucky to even get food, understand?"
Xiaojian stubbornly turned his head away, refusing to eat.
The man grabbed Xiaojian’s head and tried to push it down to the ground, "Eat it, did you hear? I’m showing you some face, is that not enough for you?"
However, at this moment...
Suddenly, someone burst through the door, and the light from outside hit the man’s face. He squinted his eyes from the glare, raised a hand to block the light, and looked at the tall man who had entered.
"Who... who are you, who let you in?"
Xiaojian also raised his head to look at the scene before him.
The man, he wasn’t someone Xiaojian knew.
At this moment, the man looked at Xiaojian, then turned his gaze to the man.
He chuckled with disdain, "Just someone like you dares to treat him this way?"
Although the man couldn’t understand what this incoming man was saying, he could tell it was a contemptuous insult.
"Who are you, I’ll ask you again, I’m warning you..." He stood up and reached out to push the man who had entered.
However, before he touched him, his wrist was caught fiercely.
With a casual push to one side, the man was slammed hard onto the ground.
"Ah..." He rubbed his seemingly broken wrist, looking at the man who had come in.
The man didn’t spare him another glance, just lowered his head, a wicked bend in the corner of his lips, revealing a cold smile like a knife capable of wounding.
"Little Prince, you’ve suffered here."
Xiaojian was stunned.
"You know me?"
"Of course." He sneered, "They are blind to your noble identity and let you suffer here. Come with me, I’ll ensure you’re treated in the best way possible."
Yet, no matter what, Xiaojian felt this person was untrustworthy.
"Who are you..."
"Who am I? That’s not important; I’m just a nobody. But it’s okay, your sister Ye Ning knows me."
"Sister knows you?"
"Yes, she knows me and she’s quite familiar with me, come on."
"No... no, I don’t trust you."
After this experience, Xiaojian truly dared not trust anyone anymore.
He snorted, "Well, Prince, you might not have a choice in this matter."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiaojian’s collar.
"Ah... ah... let go of me." Xiaojian kicked and struggled.
Behind, the man quickly got up to fight back.
"What are you doing, you..."
But he barely stepped forward when the tall man kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground, blood oozing from his mouth.
The man carried Xiaojian out.
Behind them, they still had no idea who they had provoked.
And that room...
Ye Ning’s door was gently pushed open as well.
She squinted against the glaring light streaming in.
Her hand couldn’t reach out; she could only rely on the light in front of her to feel a bit of her own power. Otherwise, it felt like she couldn’t even lift her eyelids.
At this moment, the person entering chuckled.
Ye Ning squinted.
"You..."
"It’s me."
"Ha..." Ye Ning’s face shifted from surprise to a faint smile, almost self-mocking.
How wonderful, going in circles and ending up back at the beginning.
