Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 224: Chapter 208: Who Says Family Protection is Good for Growth?

Bai Yixian loosened his grip because Luo Qianqian, who was holding his hand, was not aimlessly scared, but had written in the palm of his hand what she wanted to say: ”Already contacted Luo Si and Luo Xiao Yi.”

Lou Si naturally refers to Luo Xiying, and Luo Xiao Yi referred to their generation’s boss, Luo Yanhai. Before Luo Qianqian made the call, she had already sent a message, and making the call was just an excuse to delve deeper. Regardless, if it was only targeting her, it would be better, but if it involved her brother, mother, or even Uncle Lin, Luo Qianqian would not know what to do.

”I want to go home.” Luo Qianqian reached her hand into Bai Yixian’s clothes and touched the spot where the wound was. Finding no wetness, she sighed with relief.

As they were surrounded by newcomers, Luo Qianqian was further encircled by four people in the very center since she was the least capable of fighting, suffering less if she was in the middle.

”Going home? To Mother Earth’s embrace?” laughed the man holding the iron rod.

The leader glanced meaningfully at Luo Qianqian and chastised in a low voice, ”Be serious!”

The surroundings fell silent again, so quiet that only the chirping of insects and the sound of shoes scraping the ground while walking could be heard.

Luo Qianqian was praying to the heavens, hoping that Luo Yanhai or Luo Xiying knew her stated location and the intentions of their adversaries, to eliminate these people from the root.

Bai Yixian was confident for a reason, and Luo Qianqian felt his mood was good, although she did not understand why.

Luo Shufan could only hear his own heartbeat, looking at his sister’s hopeful yet fearful profile, feeling more oppressed. If only he were strong enough to instill fear in others, maybe this wouldn’t have happened? As children, his sister had protected him from false accusations. Later, he could not protect her, and all three sustained injuries; now, he still couldn’t protect her as she fell into crisis again. Luo Shufan realized what he ultimately desired was power — the power to protect his sister, mother, and family, to shelter them from the wind and rain, to clear obstacles for his sister’s ambitions, and to deter others from troubling her when he was not around!

However, obtaining that power was a significant issue. Luo Shufan clenched his fists and hung his head low.

Lin Jiayou hung his head, his face filled with anxiety. Unable to think of a solution or find an opportunity to escape, lacking the ability to bribe these people, he was overwhelmed with guilt for agreeing to the Bai family’s request and bringing Luo Qianqian here.

Bai Yizhu was pondering the identity of their pursuers. Nevertheless, after much thought, his gaze returned to his brother and Luo Qianqian, watching them shake their heads silently.

”Who’s your boss?” asked Lin Jiayou indifferently, though his hands in his pockets trembled slightly, his eyes fixed forward without looking at the person he questioned.

”You wouldn’t know him even if I told you,” responded a person next to him, kicking him, ”Keep walking, stop asking questions.”

”How do you know if I don’t know? Like Brother Tiger, Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, Brother Li, I know them all.” Watching the unchanging expression of the pursuers, Lin Jiayou confirmed they weren’t acquaintances and continued to guess, ”Could it be Brother Chen, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhao...?”

”Just walk, stop talking nonsense.” Another kick came, clearly discovering his intentions, and Lin Jiayou had to shut up.

An idea struck Luo Shufan: ”Is it Brother Xu or Brother Han?” Seeing some hesitation in his sister’s eyes, he still asked.

The leader abruptly turned back, giving Luo Shufan a meaningful look: ”It seems you’re not completely clueless after all.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned. The Xu family? Xu Tianyi’s family? She had a feud only with Xu Xiaoxiao, but the old man did not seem to be so unreasonable.

With a puzzled look towards Luo Shufan, who also appeared confused, she steeled herself.

Bai Yixian, on the other hand, was thinking about something entirely different. The Han family? Someone from the Han family’s second generation was competing with Luo Xiying for a position. Could it be...

”Is Xiaoxiao okay?” asked Luo Shufan, feigning composure. Internally, he despised that arrogant heiress; how she was doing was none of his business.

No one responded, they didn’t even offer him a gesture.

Luo Qianqian gazed at the stars in the night sky: ”Xu Tianyi, everyone in your family are bastards.”

```

Xu Tianyi sneezed twice in bed, grabbing a tissue with a puzzled face. Although the temperature had clearly risen, why was he still catching a cold?

Standing close to the factory yet never entering, Bai Yizhu was baffled, ”Where are you taking us?”

”You surely don’t think we came to fight in a place like this, do you? Don’t worry, they are fine. Once everything is settled, everyone will be safe.” Settled? Luo Qianqian felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that their deaths would mark the end of it?

Bai Yixian was confident in his heart, they wouldn’t be harmed.

”What did Wang Wei give you?” Luo Qianqian disdainfully asked, looking at the injured youngster inside the warehouse.

”Him?” Following Luo Qianqian’s gaze, the leader spat disdainfully, ”He’s nothing.”

It really had nothing to do with him; it was either a coincidence or Wang Wei was being used. They all understood this now.

Behind the warehouse was a wooden hut. Although not large, it looked much cleaner than the warehouse. The group was led into the wooden hut.

Three people were sitting inside, chatting and laughing jovially. Upon seeing others entering, they fell silent.

”You may leave,” he gestured to the few bearing weapons, and only eight people remained in the hut, Luo Qianqian’s group of five and three men in suits.

Bai Yixian had no intention of starting a fight and asked the men in suits, ”What should I call you?”

The man in a suit laughed, ”Bai Yixian, the owner of Wanhai Tower, the former top dog. Currently, I’m in the healing phase of my wounds. It’s not good to fight now. Please take a seat. We mean no harm. We just want you to sit with us, a week at most.”

Bai Yixian calculated the time and was certain of his thought.

But then the suited man turned to Luo Qianqian, ”So you are the Luo Qianqian my niece mentioned? Doesn’t look like much.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned. Niece? Did he mean someone from Xu Xiaoxiao’s mother’s side of the family?

”Oh yeah, I haven’t introduced myself yet. Although you’ll find out soon enough, it’s still better to introduce myself. I’m Han Wei, these two are Han Xi and Han Yi.” Han Wei extended his hand to introduce the three of them. ”You don’t need to introduce yourselves. We already know a lot about you.”

wxy... Does the Han family name with such regularity? Is it according to the alphabet?

However, Luo Qianqian wasn’t thinking about that; she wondered how much Xu Xiaoxiao must hate her to hold a grudge for so long.

Bai Yixian, on the other hand, looked grim. So it was not only about power but also personal revenge?

”Do you know Han Lei?” Luo Qianqian suddenly asked.

”You know Han Lei?” Han Wei suddenly widened his eyes, grabbing Luo Qianqian by the shoulders, ”Where is he?”

”What is your relationship with Han Lei?” Enduring the pain, Luo Qianqian asked with an unchanged expression.

”Hehe, Han Lei has had contact with you? Then he must be hiding at school. Just wait until I retrieve the item...” Han Wei narrowed his eyes, reluctantly letting go, and faced the wary Bai Yixian and others, ”If I wanted your lives, I would have acted long ago.”

”Since you don’t want our lives, why not let us complete our mission of revenge?” Luo Qianqian clearly knew Bai Yixian’s purpose for coming here and spoke calmly, seeing no threat to their lives, what was there to fear?

”Hehe, no problem, but you have to answer me one question first,” Han Wei said, stroking his chin with a sleazy expression.
