Can't afford to offend?
Ren Yuanhao suddenly felt like laughing. Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth pulled into a strange arc. He thought to himself, I'm a person with a system by my side. Protecting girls is justice. Can't afford to offend? That doesn't exist!
He pulled Xia Xiaomo, who was trembling beside him, into his arms. His eyes were filled with adoration, and her hair carried a faint lavender scent, seeming to soothe Ren Yuanhao's surging inner energy that was becoming restless with his emotions!
"It seems you rich kids change your minds faster than flipping through a book. Xia Yu, weren't we just drinking together side by side?"
Xia Yu didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Xia Xiaomo with cold, stern eyes and said in a commanding tone, "You slut, you've already disturbed the normal proceedings of our banquet. Clean up the glass shards on the floor immediately and prepare to serve the guests. Do you understand?"
Xia Yu's eyes seemed to carry sharp swords, and every word was like a鎖 tightly constricting Xia Xiaomo's throat, making her breath catch.
In her eyes, this half-brother was like a maddened beast, roaring at her with his head held high!
Her body trembled even more violently, and her mother's words echoed in her mind: Remember, your surname is Lin, not Xia. Only by not revealing your surname can you ensure your safety. One day, when Mom can't protect you by your side, remember, your surname is Lin.
"Yes, my surname is Lin, not Xia. Not Xia. You are not my brother, nor my sister. I, I~"
Xia Xiaomo's pupils trembled wildly, darting between her aggressive brother and sister. She almost broke free from Ren Yuanhao's embrace.
"You finally admit it, you slut! As punishment, you will be a servant in our Xia family for the rest of your life!" Xia Yu took two more steps forward and said in a pressing, deep voice, "What, do you need me to teach you how to do it?"
Xia Xiaomo suddenly broke free from Ren Yuanhao's embrace. Her smooth neck and long legs, illuminated by the colorful lights in the banquet hall, appeared even more alluring. She slowly crouched down and reached her hand towards the glass shards that were like inverted swords.
But her hand trembled madly. The moment it touched the glass shards, it immediately cut her fair, soft fingers. Blood slowly slid in the shifting, hazy light, like—like maggots wriggling on her mother's corpse!
"Didi, detecting that the employer's state of mind is about to collapse, the mission is on the verge of failure. Host, utilize your hearing talent well and discover the wedge to turn the tide of events."
—Utilize my hearing?
Ren Yuanhao first pulled Xia Xiaomo tightly into his arms, directly putting her injured finger into his mouth. Xia Xiaomo kept saying 'dirty,' but Ren Yuanhao was unmoved. He patted her head dotingly, comforting her, "Don't worry, with me here, whoever dares to make you suffer even a little bit, I, Ren Yuanhao, will break their teeth!"
"You dare to run wild on my territory!" Xia Yu's face turned slightly ashen. In his thirty years of memory, this was the first time he had been so defied.
However, everything has a first time.
Xia Yu slightly raised his hand, signaling the attendants hidden in the shadows to teach this brat a lesson. But his hand hovered in the air for a moment, with no movement at all. The surroundings were silent, only the wind carried the fragrance of flowers, a faint aroma floating in the air.
Xia Yu was surprised. Unexpectedly, Ren Yuanhao suddenly tapped his toes, grabbed Xia Xiaomo, and flew over. His right foot precisely kicked Xia Yu's neck, pressing his tall body down!
"If you don't want to die, all of you get down!"
Ren Yuanhao roared at everyone. Xia Yu had never suffered such humiliation. Just as he was about to lash out, he turned his head and saw a strong gust of wind suddenly sweep past, neatly cutting off his hair. A steel needle, ten centimeters long, suddenly pierced into a nearby grayish-green stone pillar!
The wind whistled, and the stone pillar immediately cracked open a thin seam!
Someone was trying to assassinate him!
The situation escalated rapidly. The handsome men and women, merchants and socialites who were holding wine glasses, suddenly turned into a chaotic mess, like ants baking under the sun, rushing frantically towards the exit. The beauties in the pool no longer cared about their modesty or exposure. Shaking their swelling chests, they merged into the crowd, their wails rising in a chorus.
"Hey, the steel needle came from the nine o'clock direction. There's definitely more than one person. If you don't want to escalate the situation, hurry up and lead these people to a safe place to hide. But don't think about escaping the Xia family mansion, unless you don't want your lives anymore."
Ren Yuanhao had almost completely wrapped Xia Xiaomo within his body. Xia Xiaomo's heart was pounding like a drum, her face flushed, her heaving chest pressed against Ren Yuanhao's hot chest. Just as Ren Yuanhao finished speaking, another steel needle shot out furiously from the same direction!
"Get down!" Ren Yuanhao tapped his toes again and directly slapped Xia Yun'er's face. At the critical moment, the steel needle whizzed past her back neck. If she had hesitated for a moment longer, this woman would have met a tragic end.
"Hurry up and get out of here! Do you want me to collect your corpses?"
Ren Yuanhao grabbed Xia Yun'er's clothes and threw her towards the entrance like garbage. Her undergarments were revealed, but Ren Yuanhao had no mind to appreciate it. In fact, he did this partly to vent his anger for Xia Xiaomo in his arms. As he turned to deal with Xia Yu, he didn't expect a steel needle to tear through the wind towards Xia Yu's heart!
"Damn it, are you trying to compete with me in speed!"
Ren Yuanhao's thoughts raced. He was forced to use his inner energy to operate the Flying Dragon Catching Cloud Hand to its extreme. He suddenly turned into a black lightning bolt, spun and moved sideways, and chopped at the pale-faced Xia Yu's crotch, who had closed his eyes, waiting for death. He had indeed pulled him back from the clutches of death again!
Meanwhile, in the western clock tower hundreds of meters away, the assassin, completely shrouded in black gauze and darkness, blew into a flute-like instrument. The steel needle whistled through the night sky, its firing rate even faster than a regular police pistol. And this time, his target was the man who had ruined his plan!
"Damn it, you're still going to fight me!"
Ren Yuanhao's figure had already turned into a black light. Before the steel needle could get close, he flashed into the Xia family mansion.
"Turn off the lights! Everyone stay away from the windows, keep low, find cover, and don't get close to the walls!"
Ren Yuanhao roared. The usually arrogant "celebrities" could only obey and follow suit.
After a moment of temporary safety, Ren Yuanhao realized his hands were on Xia Xiaomo's soft waist and legs. Xia Xiaomo was looking at him with a dazed expression, making his heart flutter. He exclaimed it was inappropriate and placed Xia Xiaomo in a safe spot.
Just as it seemed safe, Xia Yun'er suddenly pulled out a miniature lady's pistol from a room and aimed it at Ren Yuanhao!
