Infuriated and in the heat of the moment Ling Lang didn’t think much of the incident and began to dial the number of the police using his cell. However, his hands soon stopped when he realizes the sportscar ahead wasn’t stopping and appeared to be losing control, crashing into anything in its way. Specifically, the little girl that’s around years old staring cluelessly at the incoming vehicle. She’s in a daze due to how sudden it’s coming at her.
“Smile!!!”
There’s fluster in the man’s eye as he ran towards the child. Unfortunately, the distance between him and the child made it impossible for him to get in the way ….
In that moment Ling Lang’s entire world seems to come apart as his head exploded into a blank stupor. But then as all hope was lost where everyone expected the loli girl to be ruthlessly hit by the vehicle and die from the impact, something unexpected occurred.
The car hit something alright, not the little girl though, something unmoving and hard, sending the car tumbling into the air and spinning like a wheel before crashing into another corner of the road.
All had gone quiet then, leaving the street so silent that they could hear a pin drop. The reason? That’s because in front of the loli girl stood a woman, a young female wearing a red skirt and a tight blouse that emphasized her hips.
Ling Lang didn’t freeze like everyone else in this case, running over to the little loli like he’s seen salvation. “Smile, how come you are here? Where’s your bodyguard and babysitter? How come you are alone?”
Perhaps it’s due to the danger finally passing and giving the loli a chance to breath, but immediately after she came back to her senses, the child by the name of Smile promptly broke out into a cry. “Big Brother, I’m so scared…”
Hurrying to pull the girl into his arms like it would protect her some more, this playboy that gave off an aloof air began to caress that head to sooth the shock inside the child. “It’s okay Smile, it’s safe now so don’t be afraid. Tell me first, why are you here and alone?”
“It was Auntie Wu who took me out,” Ling Smile answers honestly, her mood calming down as she wiped some of those tears. Then turning around to search for the mentioned person, “Huh, where’s Auntie Wu?”
Ling Lang’s face got very ugly. It doesn’t take much for him to connect the dots on what’s going on here and what that Auntie Wu did today. But against the little loli’s frightened appearance, he could only hold it in and keep that fury for another time.
This is a setup! I need to tell Grandpa right away!
“Bai Yan, I have to thank you.” The man turns to the girl’s savior with a look of great gratitude, “She is my little sister, her name is Ling Smile.”
Thank goodness she is here, otherwise… I don’t even want to think about the consequences…
But then once he regained his composure and recalled the incredible sight of Bai Yan stepping in front of the car with one hand outstretched, his eyes would instinctively narrow in.
This woman… she’s a martial cultivator?
Ling Lang may not be a cultivator, but he’s heard enough from his mother Bai Yu about the world of martial artists. Most of those known to the public are nothing more than average with big muscles to show off their brute strength, however, there are gems among the mundane. Like breaking rocks and bending steel with their bare hands, and some could even use their internal energy as armaments like real weapons!
“Why did you just do that?” Bai Yan didn’t show the same smiling face as her cousin though, her expression carried the stern look of a lecturing teacher: “Do you know how dangerous it is if the other side intended for that? You would be dead if they wished to harm you.”
Hanging his head, the man understood what she meant: “I know, they are aiming for Smile and my family. Bai Yan, you are a kind woman to tell me that. Anyways, that’s my family’s business and we will handle it accordingly. My home is nearby so we can walk the rest of the way. Let me make a call first though, I need to get a tow truck here to pull my car.”
As unhappy as Bai Yan was at her cousin’s carelessness, she also knew the fault didn’t lie with these two who was victim of this attack. Then recalling back to the car, she swiftly turns her gaze to the driver’s seat of the flipped vehicle.
That car, there’s no one driving it….
A normal person would undoubtedly be freaked out by the lack of a driver; however, Bai Yan could tell someone was controlling it using some sort of ability. There’s no way a malfunction would push a vehicle to that kind of speed, that’s unreasonable and unrealistic.
What are those in the shadows planning? Are they aiming for the Ling family or just Ling Smile? Or, perhaps…. They’re aiming at them because of me?
In this world on Earth, Bai Yan had no other family left aside from Bai Yi Yi and her aunt Bai Ran. If someone intends to hurt her remaining family then the gloves are coming off!
