Chapter 3 Settling the Score

The young girl ignored everyone else and walked straight to the operating table. She picked up gauze and disinfectant, then proceeded to clean and bandage the boy's cut wound.

Zhao Minghan looked at the girl, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

He had seen many beautiful women, but he had never encountered a girl with such pure and bright features, coupled with an aloof and formidable aura as the one before him.

Chen Jiao watched Zhao Minghan stare at the suddenly appearing girl, his eyes wide with admiration. Anger and jealousy flickered in her eyes.

She understood men. She coughed lightly and spoke in a soft, weak voice, "Brother Minghan, who is she? Does she not want Jiao Jiao to have the surgery?"

Her weak, pleading voice brought Zhao Minghan back to reality.

He looked at the girl with arrogance and a condescending gaze, sneering coldly, "Who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble? Are you tired of living?"

Although the girl before him was stunning, Zhao Minghan's authority could not be challenged by a mere woman.

Bai Xi paid no attention to Zhao Minghan's words. She carefully finished tending to the boy's wound. Her fingers then traced over the small scars, and a hint of heartache flashed in her exquisite eyes. "Brother, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

This man was the brother of the original owner of her body, whom she had possessed before her transmigration.

He had doted on her and loved her since childhood. Unfortunately, he had been unable to speak since he was young and seemed to have some intellectual impairment.

Yet, this was the young man who had protected his sister since childhood. In their abusive home, he had clumsily protected his sister, using his slender body to shield the original owner from much harm.

Her memories from her previous life were somewhat hazy. All she knew was that she had also experienced a fierce battle and died in combat. Upon waking, she had inherited the original owner's body and shared her emotions. She had already decided to live well for the original owner, to protect everything that belonged to her, as a form of repayment.

Seeing that the woman ignored him, Zhao Minghan's ferocity intensified. "So, you are this fool's sister. Does that mean you are also a daughter of the Bai family?"

The Bai family, a noble family that had long since declined, what were they worth?

Upon hearing the name "Bai family," Bai Xi slightly raised her eyes. Those eyes, originally gentle and pure, instantly became cold and sharp. "Did you bring my brother here? And do you want to take my brother's kidney for this woman?"

On her way here, Shen Mingxun had already relayed all the information about the person before her through her earpiece.

M City, the Zhao family, one of the two major financial conglomerates, whose assets accounted for one-third of the total assets of M City.

Chen Jiao looked at Bai Xi, and her entire body trembled involuntarily.

Clearly, the girl before her was like a student still attending school, a young girl yet to enter society, but why did she feel fear towards her?

"Brother Minghan, she's so fierce. I'm scared."

These words were spoken from the heart.

Zhao Minghan, who had also been momentarily stunned by Bai Xi's gaze, sobered up when his woman called out to him.

No one had ever dared to disregard his words. And now, this woman was questioning him in return. "Guards, arrest this woman!"

As magnates, they were bound to offend people and attract unwanted attention, so he naturally kept a large number of thugs under his command. At this moment, those men were standing outside the door, waiting for his command…

But at this moment, the area outside the operating room was as silent as a graveyard, without a stir.

Zhao Minghan paused, his voice suddenly rising by an octave, "Where are they!"

These thugs were hired with considerable expense. How dare they refuse to obey now?

As soon as he spoke, he finally heard movement. However, the people outside did not rush in but crawled in: "Young Master, that woman is too powerful. We… are no match for her."

In fact, he hadn't even seen what happened before he was taken down.

Zhao Minghan's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. But he didn't stand idly by. He directly took out his phone and made a call: "I, this young master, order everyone to come to the third-floor operating room, quickly!"

He hadn't expected anyone to cause trouble, so only a few guards were stationed at the operating room entrance. He had many more men at his disposal. He refused to believe that this woman could turn the heavens upside down.

Soon, all the thugs hidden throughout the hospital were gathered at the operating room.

Zhao Minghan was extremely smug. "Woman, you will pay the price for your impulsiveness today! Attack!"

As he spoke, the burly men surrounded them one by one.

Bai Xi didn't even bother to glance at him.

She gently patted the boy lying on the bed and thoughtfully tucked him in. "Be good, sleep a little longer. Little Xi will take you home."

Her demeanor was incredibly gentle, as if the person before her was just a young girl who needed to hug a plush toy even while sleeping. Yet, as she turned to face them, she transformed into a completely different person – sharp and bloodthirsty, striking fear into their hearts.

"Heh…"

A cold, slightly mocking voice escaped her red lips. She raised her hand slightly.

Almost simultaneously, there was a loud crash from outside the window, followed by the sound of shattering glass. At the same time, a group of men in black tactical gear and face masks directly flew in through the window, suspended by ropes.

Their movements were incredibly swift. In the blink of an eye, they had subdued all the thugs, who looked intimidating but were actually as fragile as paper.

Bai Xi also took the opportunity to find a comfortable position and sat down. She then took a lollipop from a small pocket on the side of her skirt, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth, saying calmly, "Now, we can settle our accounts properly."
