C1 Xin Is Not Afraid

"You little curse! I should never have brought you back!"

"With your ghostly white hair, you're nothing but bad luck! Why don't you just disappear!"

"If anything happens to my Baby Yang, you'll be the first I take down!"

In the biting cold, a little girl in a torn tank top and shorts huddled on the ground, trying to shield her head from the woman's whipping cane.

"You dare block me!?"

"I'll show you what happens when you block me!"

Her exposed skin was a patchwork of bruises, the pain so intense it felt like her bones might break, yet she didn't make a sound.

Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer...

"Useless brat! Dumb mute! You're nothing but bad luck!"

"What are you doing, Yan? She's only four years old! She can't take this kind of beating!"

A neighbor, unable to stand by any longer, rushed over to grab Wang Yan's arm, trying to stop her from hitting the child. In the scuffle, they accidentally got hit too.

"If it weren't for this little curse, my Baby Yang wouldn't have fallen! Let go! I'm going to beat her to death today!"

"Who do you think you're going to beat to death!"

A booming voice startled them!

A man, exuding an aura of menace, stormed into the yard with a group of burly bodyguards, kicking the child abuser away with force!

Wang Yan, her back slammed against the stone mill, cried out in agony, "Murder! Help! Murder!"

Inside, a man, tipsy from drinking, stumbled out, pointing at the intruders in his yard and slurring, "Who the hell are you? How dare you hit my wife on my turf!"

Chi Yu, with a cold glare, took off his coat and wrapped it around the shivering little girl in the snow, then gently lifted her into his arms. "Get them!" he ordered.

Feeling the slight struggle of the child in his arms, Chi Yu's harsh demeanor softened instantly. He quickly loosened the coat and soothingly whispered, "Don't be scared, sweetheart. It's your brother here to take you home. No need to be afraid, okay?"

The gentle reassurance contrasted sharply with the cries of pain. The bodyguards showed no mercy to those who mistreated children, targeting the most painful spots.

In no time, the attackers were left with bruised faces and missing teeth, blood staining the snow in a shocking display. The neighbors who had come to stop Wang Yan were terrified.

"I'll... I'll sue you..." Wang Yan weakly muttered before collapsing to the ground, gasping for air.

Chi Yu walked over, and Wang Yan's bodyguards stepped aside to let him through. His hard-soled shoe crushed down on the hand Wang Yan had just used to wield a cane, grinding it forcefully until he heard a snap. Listening to her hoarse cries, Chi Yu sneered, "You think you can take me on?"

At this point, his assistant stepped forward, flipping through some documents. "Over the years, they've moved around a lot, making money by trafficking women and children. They were so successful that no one noticed. But in the past six months, they've gotten sloppy, even forgetting that the young lady was taken from this very city..."

Noticing his boss's darkening expression, the assistant quickly corrected himself, "Anyway, it's enough to put them away for life!"

This topic had clearly hit a nerve with his boss. Who would have thought that the person the Chi family had been searching so hard for was living just outside the city limits? For the Chi family, who practically controlled everything in the city, it was unthinkable that someone they cherished could be mistreated right under their noses.

This family's fate would be grim, absolutely grim!
