The young man turned back, and the dagger spun gracefully through the air before he snatches it back in his hand.
“Tell your cousin that I helped him out,” he said, before leaping from the second floor window.
Surrounding people cried out in shock.
“Wait.” Zhao Qin instinctively chased after him, but his figure was already gone into the darkness.
Staring into the night, Zhao Qin felt momentarily lost, not knowing her disappointment.
Turning back, she walked up to the girl who spoke earlier, towering above her.
“Send me the video you took just now.”
The girl fumed, “Who are you? Why should I listen to you?”
Her friend pulled her arm and whispered, “She’s the young lady of the Zhaos, her cousin is Master Xiao. Can you afford to mess with her?”
The girl stubbornly hesitated, but was intimidated out of fear and gave her the phone, “I’ll send it to you via Bluetooth.”
Zhao Qin turned on the Bluetooth.
While the transfer was in progress, the girl cautiously asked, “Do you know the young man?”
Zhao Qin raised her chin, “Of course.”
The girl’s eyes brightened, “What’s his name?”
Zhao Qin looked her up and down, her gaze of contempt was filled with disdain, “Are you worthy of knowing his name?”
The girl was deflated and thought to herself that she couldn’t afford to provoke Zhao Qin, so she would just have to bear it.
Once the video finished transferring, Zhao Qin turned to leave. She walked up to Zhao Gan and kicked him, scolding, “You useless.”
Zhao Gan cried, “Sister, you must avenge me. I was framed this time.”
Zhao Qin kicked him again, coolly saying, “Serves you right. You got off lightly.”
She caught sight of the beauty sitting beside Zhao Gan, ” You did all this for such a person? You’ve really disgraced our Zhao family.”
She played the video, showing the young man single-handedly defeating a group of people in a swift and elegant manner. It was as though she was watching a martial arts movie, with the young man as agile as a dragon and utterly in control.
Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes.
She glanced coldly at the woman beside her, who was confused and startled.
Zhao Qin stepped closer, grabbing the woman’s right hand and asked in a cold voice, “Did he touch you?”
The woman shook her head instinctively.”No…no.
A murderous aura flashed in the young girl’s eyes, and the woman shivered involuntarily.
“You’re lying to me.”
“Wherever he touched you, I’ll chop that part off.”
The woman screamed in terror, “Young miss, spare my life! I didn’t mean to, he…he only saved me.”
“Why did he save you?”
The woman choked on her words.
Zhao Qin picked up the fruit knife on the ground and advanced towards the woman step by step.
The woman turned pale in fright. Zhao Gan yelled, “Zhao Qin, are you mad?”
Zhao Qin’s face showed a weird smile, she might really be going insane.
Ye Jian walked in with a dispirited expression.
Ran Tengxiao laughed, “Lost track of him again?
Ye Jian remained silent, “I am incapable.”
“If he could be easily followed, he wouldn’t be who he is.” ‘Master Xiao, the young lady…,” Ye Jian whispered in his ear.
Ran Tengxiao raised an eyebrow, “Why?”
“Xi Yu touched that woman’s hand,” Ye Jian shivered, thinking the young lady had gone too far. That scene was incredibly horrifying. “This girl is getting more and more crazy.”
Ran Tengxiao sighed, “She’s not a child anymore. Clean it up.”
At midnight, Zhu Shaodan emerged from the Bojinlai Casino, and bought a pack of cigarettes by the roadside. After taking a puff, he coughed violently.
It seemed he still had to learn.
Zhu Shaodan squatted down as a pair of black boots walked past him, followed by long, slender legs.
Zhu Shaodan dumbfoundedly raised his head and saw the other party standing in front of the grocery kiosk, taking a bottle of water.
“Two yuan,” said the sleepy old man inside the kiosk.
The young man took two coins from his pocket and tossed them into the paper box.
The crisp sound of coins clashing rang clearly in the silent night, instantly waking Zhu Shaodan up.
From his position, he could see the young man wearing a mask beneath the brim of his hat, with long eyelashes that seemed odd for a man.
When the young man turned, Zhu Shaodan suddenly pointed at him,
“You…you…you’re Xi Yu?”
Word had spread that a young man named Xi Yu had single-handedly challenged Master Xiao in a huge gamble at the Bojinlai Casino.
He had been completely out of sight recently, but everyone knew about his mysterious adventures.
The young man glanced at him, handed him the water, and Zhu Shaodan took it blankly.
“The water’s for me? What will you drink?”
Zhu Shaodan was amazed. This young man would even give him a drink, despite not caring about even Master Xiao.
Could he be dreaming?
“Why don’t you go home?” the young man asked.
Zhu Shaodan pouted, “I don’t want to go back. My mom keeps nagging me all day. It’s really annoying.”
The young man glanced at the cigarette burning in his fingertips and for some reason, Zhu Shaodan suddenly felt cold.
“Smoking at your age? Why aren’t you studying properly?”
Zhu Shaodan’s hand trembled, and the cigarette fell to the ground.
“Damn it…” Zhu Shaodan cursed.
“Don’t let me see you smoking again.” The young man’s cold and rebellious voice echoed in the air, but there was no trace of him remaining. The night breeze blew gently, and Zhu Shaodan suddenly shivered.
“Oh my god, I saw a ghost.”
“Laiba, guess who I just met? Xi Yu! He gave me this bottle of water and even scolded me for smoking,” Zhu Shaodan excitedly explained, flaunting the bottle in his hand.
Laiba glanced at him, “Are you running a fever? Would Xi Yu even bother with you? He’s someone who doesn’t even care about Master Xiao, you know. He just beat up everyone in Zhuque Hall by himself.”
Zhu Shaodan was anxious, “It was Xi Yu! I’m sure of it. This water was really given to me by him. Why don’t you guys believe me?”
Everyone burst into laughter, “This kid must be sleepwalking.” Zhu Shaodan was furious that no one believed him.. How annoying!
