Chapter 23: The Young Lady Has Arrived – Everyone Move Aside

Hearing Zhou Ran’s confidence, Su Qian finally felt a little steadier.

Sure enough, even a spoiled rich brat had his uses.

Su Qian briefly described the Lin Family situation and sent Brother Biao’s photos to Zhou Ran.

“A whole family of beasts!” Zhou Ran snapped, his face dark with anger.

Then he added, “Wait there. Half an hour. I’ll dig up that kid’s family for eighteen generations!”

Hearing his righteous tone, Su Qian couldn’t help smiling.

Zhou Ran usually looked like a useless playboy, but when it mattered, he was surprisingly reliable.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ran called back.

“Su Qian, I checked. Brother Biao’s real name is Yuan Biao. He’s a small thug leader in Lin Jiang City. He has a bunch of underlings, and none of them are good people. Lin Tian Ci is one of them.”

Su Qian finally felt sure of herself.

“What do you want to do?” Zhou Ran asked, his voice eager. “Bring me along too?”

“What are you getting involved for?” Su Qian snapped.

“Sincerity.” Zhou Ran sounded completely justified. “To show our sincerity about working together.”

Su Qian blinked. She really did have a plan, and it would be hard to pull off alone.

After thinking for a moment, she agreed.

Zhou Ran was thrilled. He drove like crazy straight to Su Qian’s hotel.

“Tsk, hurry up. What’s the plan?” Zhou Ran urged. “I even canceled dates with a few girls for you.”

Su Qian narrowed her eyes and looked him over. “How’s your acting?”

Zhou Ran froze, then patted his chest. “Do you even have to ask? My acting is top-tier. I can play anything.”

Su Qian’s lips curved slightly as she explained her plan.

The more Zhou Ran listened, the more something felt wrong.

The light in his eyes died.

“Tsk… can we swap roles?” he asked.

“No.” Su Qian refused.

Zhou Ran awkwardly rubbed his nose. “Fine.”

Then he rushed off to act.

At the same time,

Su Qian was also preparing at full speed.

Yesterday, when the victim’s family came knocking, Lin Tian Ci panicked and ran to Yuan Biao’s place to hide.

Yuan Biao frowned at Lin Tian Ci’s terrified, flustered state. “What are you panicking for? Pathetic.”

Lin Tian Ci hurriedly forced a smile. “Brother Biao is right.”

“It’s all that dead girl’s fault for not knowing what’s good for her. How great would it be to follow Brother Biao – eating well, drinking well. Tonight I’ll go persuade her again. If she still won’t listen, I’ll tie her up and bring her to you!” Lin Tian Ci said viciously.

A debt of three hundred thousand was hanging over his head.

The victim’s family came every few days demanding money. If he mishandled it and they called the police, Lin Tian Ci would go to jail.

He was only eighteen. His life had just started. He refused to go to jail.

So no matter what, Lin Tian Ci had to cling tightly to Yuan Biao as his support.

Even if he had to use any means necessary, he would tie up Lin Qin and bring her over to please Yuan Biao.

Yuan Biao lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, then slowly blew out the smoke.

He looked at Lin Tian Ci, impatience in his eyes. “Alright, stop shouting nonsense. Tonight, bring that girl here. If you mess it up again, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Tian Ci nodded quickly. “Don’t worry, Brother Biao. This time I’ll do it right.”

Yuan Biao waved a hand. “I’m only doing this because of you. Three hundred thousand – what kind of woman can’t I buy?”

Lin Tian Ci smiled in a flattering way. “Brother Biao is right. It’s that girl who doesn’t know her place. Once I tie her up and bring her over, Brother Biao can train her properly. Then she’ll know how good it is to follow Brother Biao.”

Yuan Biao snorted. “Hurry up and do it. Don’t cause trouble again.”

Lin Tian Ci agreed again and again and backed out.

Not long after Lin Tian Ci left, a fat underling with big ears rushed in, panicked.

“Brother Biao, someone wants to see you.”

Yuan Biao frowned. “Who wants to see me?”

The underling answered carefully. “This… I can’t really say.”

Yuan Biao’s face sank. “What do you mean you can’t say? Spit it out.”

The underling stammered, trying to form the words again.

The living room door was shoved open violently.

Then a man swaggered in, chin high and full of arrogance.

“Tsk, Yuan Biao, you’ve got quite the attitude.”

The man curled his lips into a cold smile. “Our Young Lady wants to see you, and you still need someone to ‘announce’ it?”

“Who gave you the face?”

His tone was full of contempt.

Yuan Biao’s heart tightened.

He didn’t recognize this man.

And he had no idea who this so-called Young Lady was.

“Who the hell are you?” Yuan Biao frowned, anger rising as he stared at the uninvited guest.

But he also understood – anyone who dared to barge in like this must have something backing them.

The man smiled with clear mockery. “You don’t even know me? Guess you’re not doing so well around here.”

Yuan Biao quickly thought through whether he had offended someone lately.

He shot a sharp look at his underling, but the underling looked just as confused and shook his head.

“Brother, at least give me a hint,” Yuan Biao said carefully.

Zhou Ran snorted. “You don’t need to know who the Young Lady is. You just need to know that she wants to see you – that’s your honor. Come with me now. Don’t keep the Young Lady waiting.”

Yuan Biao hesitated.

He wasn’t stupid. He wasn’t going to trust a stranger’s words that easily.

“What, scared even at your own front door?” Zhou Ran sneered. “Tsk. With courage like that, how did you dare steal something from our Young Lady?”

That made Yuan Biao even more confused.

Then who the hell is your Young Lady?

You come in saying she wants to see me, saying I stole her stuff.

Can you at least say something useful?

“Brother Biao, that Young Lady is outside,” the fat underling whispered.

Yuan Biao finally let out a breath.

Outside his front door?

Then there was nothing to be afraid of.

“Fine. I’ll go with you.” Yuan Biao looked relaxed.

He wanted to see just who this Young Lady really was.

Zhou Ran kept that contemptuous smile as he led Yuan Biao outside.

Yuan Biao froze, completely shocked by what he saw.

Beside a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ,

more than ten bodyguards in black suits stood in a dense line, faces stern, wearing sunglasses.

Behind the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ,

there was a black Bugatti Veyron supercar, followed by several million-yuan sedans.

Two supercars worth tens of millions?

More than ten professional bodyguards?

A whole line of million-level cars?

Yuan Biao couldn’t help sucking in a sharp breath, stunned by the Young Lady’s display.

Just one of those cars was enough to crush his entire net worth.

The underlings nearby were all local thugs, mostly kids who dropped out in middle school and followed Yuan Biao. They could bully students, sure, but they had never seen anything like this. They all backed away, too scared to come near.

Zhou Ran’s urge to perform kicked in. He jogged over to the car and put on a flattering smile.

“Young Lady, I brought him.”
