Chapter 282 - 283: Dad, Come Quick!
She gazed at Ye Xingbei haughtily, seeing him as an ant beneath her feet.
So what if he’s handsome?
His background can’t compete with hers, his bloodline can’t rival her nobility.
Even if he is handsome, he’s still a maid pretending to be a lady, with dreams higher than the sky but a life as fragile as paper!
Seeing the gun in Shao Bingyi’s hand, Ye Xingbei’s face turned pale with anger.
She kindly offered her son’s medicine to save people, but in return, not only did they not repay her, but they also insulted her and pointed a gun at her!
Everyone says Beijing is orderly and safe under the Emperor’s rule.
What a joke!
This place doesn’t feel like a city beneath the heavens; it’s more like a den of robbers!
The moment Xueno saw Shao Bingyi draw her gun, he swiftly shielded Ye Xingbei and the two children behind him. His sharp, black eyes fixed vigilantly on Shao Bingyi.
A professional reveals themselves when they make a move.
His swift movement, which appeared casual but was indeed tactically advantageous, alerted the guards protecting Senior Master Xiang. He was a top-class expert.
The guards instantly became highly alert. They secretly wondered – – were these people disguised assassins targeting Eldest Xiang?
Two beautiful and well-dressed children, harmless as they appeared, were nothing more than smoke screens designed to lower their guard.
They had heard of many such instances.
Many people had lost their lives not to seasoned warriors but seemingly harmless women and children.
The only reason for this was that these women and children appeared innocuous, causing their guard to drop.
Even children from certain countries are more ruthless than adults, killing without blinking an eye.
With this in mind, the Deputy Security Officer gave a look to his subordinates.
Four more guards drew their guns, took strategically advantageous positions, and aimed at Xueno, Ye Xingbei, and the two children.
Seeing them target the kids and point their guns so low, clearly aiming at her son and Lingyue’s heads, Ye Xingbei trembled with fury.
She pulled both children behind her, fearing any accidental discharge might hurt them.
Lingyue, however, would not have it and freed himself from Ye Xingbei’s grip. He ran in front of her and spread his arms out, blocking Ye Xingbei from view, glaring defiantly at the armed guards.
Ye Xingbei felt a tug at her heart, pulling him back behind her, “Xiao Yue, be a good boy. Hide behind Auntie and stay there.”
She shielded the children with her body, turned to Xiang Jiechao, frowning, “What on earth do you want? The medicine is mine. I lent it to you to do a good deed. How dare you seize my medicine and point a gun at me? Are you bandits?”
Seeing her unwavering courage in front of a gun, Xiang Jiechao grew more irritated.
He needed Ye Xingbei to leave with her bastard child immediately.
His father must not see that little bastard once he recovers!
If his father recognizes that little bastard as his grandson, Xiang Jiechao will lose his place in the Xiang family!
Frustrated, he snatched a gun from a guard, pointed it at Ye Xingbei’s head, “Thanks for the medicine, but my father holds a special status. Strangers are prohibited around him. It’s a rule! You all should leave immediately. We will reward you handsomely later. Otherwise… ”
He gritted his teeth, lowered the gun, and fired a shot at the ground near Ye Xingbei’s feet.
“Mommy!” Xiao Shumiao cried out, breaking free from Ye Xingbei’s grip to run out. Terrified, he hugged Ye Xingbei tightly. Tears poured down his face as he sobbed hysterically, “Daddy! Daddy, come quickly! The badman is shooting at mommy! Daddy!”
