The old man seemed to see through my thoughts and said with a smile: “Siyibao is the number one fortress in the martial world, leading in both financial power and influence. When you have time later, I’ll tell you all about it!”
“Mm!” I nodded my head like I was pounding garlic.
A boy’s face immediately had five distinct fingerprints, I could hardly believe it – a child this young could be so brutal!
Withdrawing my slightly trembling hand from extreme anger, I shouted loudly at him: “You’ve gone too far! Aren’t girls human? Aren’t girls’ lives valuable? Just because something was dropped, you want to take her life? Who do you think you are? Apart from being born into a better life, born into a good family, with fine clothes and food, servants everywhere – what makes you better than them?”
Xi Lin Yan covered his face, his eyes wild, fierce flames dancing in his bloodshot eyes. “Damn it, I think you’ve gone crazy, actually daring to hit me!”
He reached out to grab my neck, and I immediately fought back, scratching his delicate skin, causing him to immediately release me in pain…
Once I escaped his restraint, I triumphantly made a face at him! He couldn’t help but be provoked, waving both hands, wanting to rush forward again.
“Enough, stop right now!” A reprimand stopped his next move.
The housekeeper walked out from the crowd, directly approaching the little brat, saying disappointedly: “Young master, you’ve truly disappointed Secretary Qin.”
“I originally thought you were just mischievous, so I’ve always indulged you, but I didn’t expect you to become increasingly excessive, even disregarding human life…”
“Secretary Qin is unable to teach you well. Tomorrow I’ll pack my things and return home! In the future, the Si Yi Fortress will be left to you to manage as you wish!”
“Secretary Qin!” Xi Lin Yan’s eyes flashed with panic, dejectedly lowering his hands, “I’m sorry, I know I was wrong, please don’t abandon me, I’ll listen to you in the future!”
At that moment, he stood among the crowd, helpless like a puppy abandoned on the roadside…
“I’m confident I can do better than you!” I didn’t get angry, stopped walking, and gave him a cunning smile. “Dare to make a bet?”
