“Brother…” Song Jiaxi chased after Ruan Bei for a long distance.

Ruan Bei remained unmoved, quickly got into Yin Zhuo's car with her schoolbag, and didn't even want her clothes anymore.

After all that commotion, Yin Zhuo was still worried about letting Ruan Bei take the bus home alone, so he simply took him home.

Despite the drastic change in his attitude, Yin Zhuo didn't ask any further questions. After all, he was a top-notch bodyguard, so he had basic professional ethics.

Besides, although they hadn't known each other for long, he had gotten to know Ruan Bei quite well. He was honest, kind, and polite, so this behavior must mean there was something wrong with that boy.

As for the abandoned Hongmao and his group, Ruan Bei originally planned to ask Ran Yusheng for help. Hongmao's family only had a little money, which was no match for a big shot like Ran Yusheng.

Even though Ran Yusheng was dead, Madam Ran was still alive. With just a few words, she could stop Hongmao from bothering the "poor little girl".

Who would have thought that the little girl he saved wasn't a pitiful girl at all, but a little madwoman.

He didn't bother with the rest, knowing that Song Jiaxi was vengeful and would never let Hong Mao get away with it.

He even suspected that the bankruptcy of the Hongmao family in his previous life might have been orchestrated by Song Jiaxi.

After today's ordeal, Red Hair got beaten up and won't be causing trouble again anytime soon, meaning there won't be any other victims.

Once he has recovered, Song Jiaxi should be taken back to the Song family, and then he will no longer have the chance to bully others.

Sitting in the car, Ruan Bei was thinking about all sorts of random things. Seeing Song Jiaxi brought back all the bad experiences from his past life, making him feel depressed.

Yin Zhuo glanced at him several times in the rearview mirror and saw that he looked worried and thought he was troubled about how to explain things to his family.

Because of his family's martial arts tradition, he practiced martial arts from a young age and considered fighting a daily occurrence.

But if a boy goes home with an injury, his parents will usually give him a lecture.

So Yin Zhuo comforted him considerately, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you home in a bit. I'll explain to your parents that Xiao Bei did something brave and deserves praise, not criticism."

Although he was still in a bad mood, the concern shown by others helped alleviate some of his depression.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuo. It's nothing. My parents won't scold me."

They can only blame him for not protecting himself; Ruan's parents have always put their own child first.

Yin Zhuo didn't press him after hearing his refusal, and asked again, "Do you have any other injuries?"

Ruan Bei had a bruise on his face, with a blue mark on his cheekbone. His clothes covered it, so it was unclear whether he had any other injuries.

Ruan Bei touched his arm; he had also taken a few hits, but thanks to his fighting with Song Jiaxi in his past life, he was quite good at protecting his vitals, and the hits were all to his arms and legs.

He moved his arm and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much. It'll be fine in a couple of days."

Yin Zhuo could tell where he was injured just by looking at his movements. It didn't look serious. He arrived just in time, before the two sides had really started fighting. The red-haired guy's side was all unarmed, so their offensive power was limited.

"I have some medicated oil that's great for treating sprains and bruises. I'll bring you a bottle tomorrow. Just rub it on yourself, and it'll heal faster."

Ruan Bei didn't want to bother him anymore, but Yin Zhuo insisted, so she finally had to accept.

As they talked, they lost their focus on those annoying people and things, and before they knew it, they had arrived outside his residential compound.

When a car from outside arrives, the gatekeeper cranes his neck to look out through the small window. He's old and doesn't recognize the brands of luxury cars, he just glances at them.

Ruan Bei got out of the car. The old man had good eyesight and saw him from afar. He laughed and said, "Little Bei, what happened to your face? Did some bad boy bully you? Well, your sister is back. Go find her and get revenge for you!"

Ruan Bei was both amused and exasperated. When he was a child, if other kids bullied him, he would complain to his sister. His sister would chase after the bullies for two blocks, carrying a plastic ruler, and whip the bullies until they cried and screamed.

Later, when he suffered grievances at the Lu family, he dared not show it in front of his sister, for fear of hurting her feelings and also for fear that she might impulsively beat Lu Sibai to death.

He wasn't worried about Lu Sibai, of course; it was just that Lu Sibai was a bit eccentric, and it seemed that anyone who went against him never had a good ending.

He didn't even need to lift a finger; his admirers would rush to take care of him, like Ruan Bei.

His sister was just an ordinary person. Apart from being a little stronger than the average girl and screaming like she would when she saw a cockroach, she couldn't withstand the torment from Lu Sibai and his gang.

People really can't stand being nagged. No sooner had the old man finished speaking than Ruan Xi came out of the community carrying a suitcase.

"Xiao Bei, what happened to your face?"

When Ruan Xi saw the injury on her younger brother's fair and pretty face, she immediately exploded, threw down her suitcase, and rushed over: "Who bullied you?"

The girl, with her long, flowing hair and pure, pretty appearance, now had her eyebrows raised in anger, her sleeves rolled up, looking like she was about to pick a fight. Yin Zhuo, who had just locked his car and stepped out, was immediately disillusioned.

"Sis, you're wearing a skirt, don't keep rolling up your sleeves."

Ruan Bei lowered Ruan Xi's rolled-up sleeves and patted her head reassuringly: "No one bullied me. A girl was being bullied, and I stood up for her."

Ruan Xi developed early and was always among the tallest in her class before high school. However, she stopped growing in high school and is now just over 1.6 meters tall.

Ruan Bei was already taller than his sister, but Ruan Xi still treated him like the little dumpling who used to cry and complain when he was a child, afraid that he would be bullied by others.

"You really weren't bullied?" Ruan Xi glanced at Yin Zhuo, who was standing behind Ruan Bei. He was tall and strong and clearly not someone to be trifled with. Her eyes were filled with suspicion.

"real!"

Ruan Bei wanted to raise his hand and swear: "Brother Zhuo... is a good person. He helped me just now."

Ruan Xi glanced at the luxury car parked there. Although she didn't know much about cars, she could tell that it was probably not cheap.

The siblings' expressions were so easy to understand. Yin Zhuo took the initiative to explain, "Miss Ruan, right? Hello, my name is Yin Zhuo, and I am a bodyguard for the Ran family. Xiao Bei did our madam a great favor, so she asked me to bring him back."

Ruan Xi: "...Didn't you save a little girl?"

Ruan Bei coughed lightly: "Well... it's a long story. I first helped Madam Ran with something, and then on my way back I rescued a little girl."

Ruan Xi: "..."

She came home today, and Mom said her younger brother went to the library...

"Okay, sis, I'm really fine. Are you going to school? I'll take you." Ruan Bei said, reaching for the suitcase that Ruan Xi had left behind.

Ruan Xi attends university in this city, but the university town is far from here, taking more than an hour by bus. Ruan Xi will go home to stay for two days on weekends when she has free time.

Judging from her appearance, she's probably back today to pick up clothes for the changing season, since the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

"I'll do it myself. It's not far from the bus stop."

Ruan Xi rushed to pull the suitcase, not forgetting the injury on Ruan Bei's face: "How about I don't go to school today..."

She hesitated slightly as she spoke, explaining that she had a professional class the next morning and wouldn't have enough time to get there from home.

Ruan Bei had seen his sister's class schedule and, of course, didn't want her to take the bus to school early in the morning: "No need, I'll send you all the details on your phone in a bit and explain everything to you."

Seeing that Ruan Xi was still hesitant, Ruan Bei laughed anxiously: "Oh, sister, I'm not a child anymore. Go quickly, or it will be dark when you get back to school, which is not safe."

"How about... I see Miss Ruan off?"

Yin Zhuo found the interaction between the siblings quite amusing. He also had an older sister, but she was truly the boss, the kind who could twist the top of her brother's head off.

Ruan Bei's older sister looked like a petite, quiet, and pretty girl. But as soon as she saw the injury on her brother's face, she immediately became like a mother hen protecting her chicks, her wings all puffed up.

Ruan Bei's eyes lit up, her heart fluttering with excitement: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you..."

"No trouble at all," Yin Zhuo said nonchalantly. "You know my situation. Several people are watching the surveillance cameras every day. They're making my eyes cross."

In the past, when Ran Yusheng and his wife went out, they could go out with them. Now that one of their employers is gone and the other stays at home, they can only keep an eye on the surveillance cameras. Their only activity is patrolling around the Ran residence.

"Thank you, Brother Zhuo."

Ruan Bei was very happy. His sister had to carry her suitcase and squeeze onto the bus, which was very uncomfortable and inconvenient. Yin Zhuo was able to take her directly to school, saving her a lot of trouble.

The man and the boy had already reached an agreement. Before Ruan Xi could even speak, Yin Zhuo had already put her suitcase into the trunk.

"Xiao Bei!" Ruan Xi slapped Ruan Bei angrily. How could she have the nerve to ride in someone she didn't know?

"Sis, it's okay, Brother Zhuo isn't a bad person."

Ruan Bei dared to let Yin Zhuo escort his sister because he trusted Ran Yusheng. The fact that a powerful figure could have Yin Zhuo protect his wife shows that this person is indeed trustworthy.

Ruan Xi finally got into Yin Zhuo's car. She had already put her suitcase in there; what else could she do?

When Ruan Bei returned home, her father was still not back. As expected, her mother was shocked by the injury on his face.

Ruan Bei gave a brief explanation, which was that he went to the library today and encountered an aunt who had fainted, so Ruan Bei helped take her to the hospital.

The aunt was very grateful to him and insisted on giving him a watch as a gift—this was a pre-arranged arrangement, as Mrs. Ran couldn't keep the watch hidden forever.

And there may be further interactions in the future, so let's lay the groundwork here first.

Ruan Bei showed the watch to her mother, who said anxiously, "How can we accept someone else's things? We have to return them."

Ruan Bei said, "She insisted on giving it to me. She would get angry if I didn't accept it. Mom, that's how rich people are. If you help them, they will feel at ease if you accept some reward. Otherwise, they will think you are after more."

Ruan Bei silently confessed in her heart, "I'm sorry, Aunt Ran, I didn't mean to badmouth you."

"is that so?"

Ruan Bei nodded vigorously, and Ruan's mother believed him.

“Then when I came back at night, I saw some hooligans bullying a little girl. I couldn’t just stand by and watch, so I went to intervene.” Ruan Bei said, pointing to the injury on his face.

"You silly child, how could you rush up by yourself? You should have called the police or found an adult!"

"This is just an emergency measure!"

As expected, his mother's first concern was his safety. Ruan Bei's nose tingled, and he hugged his mother, crying out, "Mom, I'm hurt. It hurts. Tell Dad, please don't scold me."

“Stupid child, he deserves to be scolded…”

While speaking sternly, Madam Ruan hurriedly went to find safflower oil.
