Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon seeing the marble on the little girl’s neck, a hint of excitement flashed in Lin Xingchen’s eyes. However, when he faced Lin Menglan, he pushed her away, “What marble? 1 have no idea what this is, you’ve got the wrong person.”

Even though Lin Xingchen’s expression was very cold, Jiang Peihuan caught the flicker of excitement in his eyes.

Glancing at the marble on Lin Menglan’s neck, Jiang Peihuan recognized it as a toy beloved by children.

From this, Jiang Peihuan guessed that Lin Menglan and Lin Xingchen must have had a good relationship when they were young.

But Lin Menglan didn’t know Lin Xingchen’s thoughts. Hearing his emotionless words, the little girl’s eyes were filled with sadness.

Just as she was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open.

All the people who had been captured earlier shrank back in fear. Two men walked in, one with a cold aura all over him, the other with a lecherous look.

The man in the front swept his gaze over everyone, mainly focusing on the young girls. His eyes finally landed on Lin Menglan. Seeing her delicate face, a smile appeared in his eyes, “Big brother, this girl isn’t bad. Why don’t we take her tonight?”

Upon hearing this, the man behind gave Lin Menglan a brief glance and then nodded, “Alright, take her away.”

Upon hearing the man’s words, the man who spoke earlier directly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Menglan’s arm.

Seeing these two men suddenly appear, Lin Menglan’s eyes were full of terror, and she instinctively began to struggle, “Let go of me!”

Lin Menglan was just a little girl, and the two men were much bigger than her. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free from the man’s grasp.

Those who had been brought in before seemed numb to the situation. Not only did they not step forward, they actually seemed relieved.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

In her panic, Lin Menglan bit the man’s hand hard.

The man yelped in pain and cursed, “You little brat, how dare you bite me? I’ll kill you today.”

As he spoke, he slapped Lin Menglan’s face. Blood immediately seeped from the corner of the little girl’s mouth.

Seeing this scene, Jian Peihuan subconsciously wanted to make a move, but someone beat her to it. As the man raised his hand again, Lin Xingchen stepped forward, kicked the man down, and then scooped Lin Menglan into his arms.

The little girl had just been slapped and her eyes were filled with terror.

But now, held in Lin Xingchen’s arms, she no longer looked afraid. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face as she looked at the young man beside her. The little girl showed a bright smile, “Brother Xingchen.”

Although Lin Xingchen didn’t comfort her verbally, he didn’t continue with his cold expression either. He placed her next to Jiang Peihuan and spoke softly, “Eldest Miss, could you please help me take care of her?”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan nod, Lin Xingchen turned to look at the two men.

The man Lin Xingchen had knocked down had already gotten up, but he looked at Lin Xingchen with a grim expression, “Who are you to meddle in our affairs?”

“I’m here to claim your lives.”

As his words fell, Lin Xingchen had already drawn his long sword. However, he did not expect the man’s martial arts skills to be quite good.

The previously quiet bandit, seeing the situation, quickly ran out, apparently to call for reinforcements. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan quickly turned to Jiang Changbai, “Elder Brother, stop him.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Jiang Changbai immediately stepped forward.

The small room suddenly filled with the sound of fighting.

Jiang Peihuan took Lin Menglan and moved back a bit.

At this point, Lin Xingchen had already pierced the heart of the man who initiated the fight with his sword. Seeing the man on the ground and another man halted by Jiang Changbai, the latter’s face hinted at unease. His eyes, filled with hostility, glared at the people in front of him. Coldly, he demanded, “Who are you? How dare you kill in my place?”

Without a word, Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen glanced at each other and killed that man.

Seeing the two bodies on the ground, the people who had been captured earlier looked relieved and surprised. Then, they all knelt before Jiang Peihuan and the others, begging, “Save us, please, save us…”

“You guys, please get up first.”

Jiang Peihuan said, worrying that the noise here would attract others.

However, the people paid no heed and continued their desperate pleas. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan coldly intervened, “If they discover what happened here, none of us will escape. If you want to leave this place, listen to me.”

Seeing the coldness in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, the people finally shut their mouths and slowly sat down on the ground.

But still, someone couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, 1 know you are not ordinary people, can you save us?”

“We will do our best.

Jiang Peihuan wasn’t sure what would happen next. She could only promise to try her best, but she couldn’t guarantee anything.

Some people were obviously dissatisfied with her response, but considering the two bodies on the ground, nobody dared to say anything.

At this moment, Lin Xingchen came up to Jiang Peihuan, full of regret, and said softly, “I’m sorry, Eldest Miss, I’ve messed up your plan.”

Seeing the remorse in Lin Xingchen’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, a soft voice echoed from her side, “Sister, don’t blame Brother Xingchen. He was only trying to save me.”

Lin Menglan’s face was already swollen, but the little girl was still speaking softly on Lin Xingchen’s behalf.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t particularly like the people of the Lin family, but she had no ill will towards the little girl in front of her.

She looked at Lin Xingchen and said softly,” It’s alright. Saving people is more important.”

If Lin Xingchen could have watched Lin Menglan being taken away by those two men without doing anything, Jiang Peihuan would have been terrified.

Now, at least it showed that Lin Xingchen still had principles.

“Elder Brother, strip off the clothes of those two men.”

“Huan Er, what do you need these men’s clothes for?”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Changbai asked instinctively, but his hands were already working on it.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t answer Jiang Changbai’s question. Instead, she took out a small medicine bottle from her bag and said softly to Lin Menglan, “You’re hurt, let me apply the medicine for you.”

“Thank you, sister.”

Seeing the medicine bottle in Jiang Peihuan’s hand, the little girl thanked her softly. But then, she looked at Lin Xingchen, “But I want Brother Xingchen to apply the medicine for me.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan raised her eyebrows and, without waiting for Lin Xingchen to respond, she threw the medicine bottle to him. He caught it instinctively..
