Chapter 34 Get out of Here
Han Yun led Lan Xiao down the corridor to a tea room.
Two strong men in black suits were standing guard at the door of the tearoom. Han Yun leaned in and told them something in a low voice, after which the two strong men took a glance at Lan Xiao and let them in.
As soon as Lan Xiao stepped into the room, she felt something whizz right towards her head.
Although she was frightened, she easily dodged it by tilting her head.
The next second, the sound of porcelain shattering on the floor rang out.
“How dare you pretend to be rich and powerful without money? Why did you come to gamble if you have no money? How dare you! Tell me, where is your house? I’ll ask my people to demand the money from your family. If you continue to keep silent, I will cut off one of your fingers right away.” A cold voice came from the depths of the room.
Lan Xiao couldn’t help but tremble in fear, but she quickly clenched her fists to calm herself down.
Deep in the room, Lan Xingbo was tied to a chair. His palm was pressed down with his fingers spread apart on the table in front of him by a man in black.
The man was holding a dagger which was shining with a cold light, emanating nothing but cruelty.
Han Yun rushed into the room in a hurry and anxiously begged, “Mr. Jiang, I’ve brought someone here. Please don’t chop off Xingbo’s fingers. He is just a student. Please let him go...”
Lan Xiao narrowed her eyes as she saw Mr. Jiang, who was completely dressed in black, slowly stand up. He leisurely glanced sideways. When he saw Lan Xiao, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he frowned.
“Are you kidding me? Why did you bring a teenage girl here? Do you expect to trade her to pay off the debt of fifty million? Is she worth so much money? It seems like she is not even fully developed yet. How many men can she play with in bed?”
Lan Xingbo, who had been silent all this time, finally reacted. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Lan Xiao.
Disgust filled his young face as he frowned. He roared coldly, “Scram! What are you doing here? Did you come here to collect my body? I can take care of myself. It’s none of your business. Get out of here right now...”
“Oh, you’re finally willing to speak. I thought you were mute. It seems that this girl is useful after all,” Mr. Jiang teased with a cold smile.
“I don’t know her. I have nothing to do with her!” Lan Xingbo snapped.
“Xingbo...” With her nose twitching, Lan Xiao called out his name, feeling sorry for him.
This was the first time she had seen her brother after her rebirth. Although he was extremely cold to her, even a fool could see that he was trying to protect her.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t even protect himself in this situation. How could he protect her?
Lan Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. How silly he was!
“Shut up. I don’t know you. Get out of here right now!” Lan Xingbo was so agitated that he rocked the chair back and forth as he shouted at her.
But instead of retreating, Lan Xiao took a few steps inside.
She wanted to see her brother’s face clearly. He had been beaten black and blue, but his eyes were shining.
Well, they were shining with anger.
His battered appearance made her heart ache. In her previous life, before she had had a chance to repair her relationship with him, she had suddenly received news that he had died in an accident.
She had been regretful. She had regretted that she hadn’t taken better care of him and protected him when he was alive.
“Xingbo... Let me take you home, okay?” she whispered in a hoarse voice.
Lan Xingbo kept yelling at her to leave, but no matter how fierce his tone was, Lan Xiao didn’t retreat.
