The father was executed, and the brother went to jail.
Bai Yan became the company's president, inherited the Bai family's assets worth hundreds of millions, and caused those around her to fall from their pedestals one by one. She even blacklisted her!
Ji An'an was unwilling to accept this; her life shouldn't be like this.
Her life should be surrounded by flowers; she should be adorned by a crowd and placed on a stage that everyone looks up to!
Without the halo, without the favor, without the status and position, should she live the life of an ordinary person?
Ji An'an can't do it!
She thought of Huo Xiao, and the way he had told her before—the way to contact his father. Maybe she could rescue Huo Xiao…
Song Rizhao had broken his leg and offended most of the stock market investors, making it impossible for him to make a living in China. However, he still had a sharp mind. When Ji An'an revealed to him that she had connections in the "Triangle Zone" and asked for his help in rescuing Huo Xiao, Song Rizhao agreed without hesitation.
Using the internet and a large sum of money from Huo Xiao's father, Song Rizhao managed to pull some strings and, two months later, one morning, they rescued Huo Xiao from prison. After changing modes of transportation along the way, they finally reached the border.
Huo Xiao's father took his son back to his old lair.
As the ruler of this Golden Triangle region, he also treated Ji An'an and Song Rizhao, his benefactors who helped him rescue his son, as honored guests.
Huo Xiao is the heir of the underworld, the king of this land, and Ji An'an is naturally the princess.
Upon arrival, Huo Xiao arranged the best medical care for Song Rizhao, inviting a top-notch medical team from the United States to perform surgery and fit him with a prosthetic limb.
He, on the other hand, took Ji An'an sightseeing every day, taking her to the surrounding islands in his private plane, eating all kinds of delicious food, shopping, and taking a submarine trip.
He was the country's most wanted criminal, but in this land teeming with crime and money, he seemed to be all-powerful.
Ji An'an once thought that a movie star like Mu Yuanchen, with countless halos, was her perfect partner, but now Huo Xiao is clearly more suitable than him.
"Huo Xiao, where shall we go today?" Ji An'an asked Huo Xiao expectantly, wearing a romantic Hawaiian-style long dress.
Huo Xiao gently stroked her brow, then smiled and said, "Would you like to visit the casino on the island? I grew up there."
Las Vegas has the largest luxury casinos, and it also has underground casinos.
Ji An'an was very interested in this, and she nodded: "Yes, Huo Xiao, I want to know about the place where you grew up."
Huo Xiao looked at her sweet smile and was about to touch her face when a sharp pain flashed through his mind, and some familiar and bloody scenes appeared in his mind.
His head hurts so much...
"Huo Xiao, what's wrong?" Ji An'an looked at him with concern.
"I'm fine." The pain came and went quickly. Huo Xiao smiled at her and said, "I guess you didn't sleep well last night. Let's go."
The Huo family is the most powerful family here, and the Huo father and son are currently in charge. The staff at the underground casino treated the two of them with great respect, and when they learned that Ji An'an wanted to play a game, they arranged a table for her.
Ji An'an wasn't good at cards, and after losing a few rounds, she was clearly in a bad mood. Seeing that she was about to lose again, Ji An'an angrily threw down her cards: "I'm not playing anymore."
"Don't you know the rules? How can you quit halfway through? Do you know how much the table fee is? No way!"
The others at the table naturally disagreed with Ji An'an stepping down, and it looked like an argument was about to break out.
Huo Xiao simply glanced at them, and the casino staff took the troublesome customer away.
"Are you alright?" Huo Xiao stepped forward and took Ji An'an's hand.
Ji An'an shook her head, and Huo Xiao's sinister gaze swept around again.
Soon, the wails of several gamblers being taken away could be heard from the side, along with the sounds of punches and kicks, and the screeching of an electric drill.
Huo Xiao's brows gleamed coldly as he raised Ji An'an's hand: "Remember this face. She is my guest, Huo Xiao's guest."
"Anyone who dares to disrespect her, I will skin them alive."
The true extent of the exploitation sent shivers down the spines of the gamblers and staff alike.
Ji An'an nestled in Huo Xiao's arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, her heart fluttering at his protectiveness.
"Want to play some more?" Huo Xiao asked.
Ji An'an shook her head, and then Huo Xiao took her hand and left.
As the two walked up to the elevator, they happened to see the beautiful croupier who had served Ji An'an's table earlier.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that those are the people brought by Master Xiao? How dare you make her unhappy?" Several men punched and kicked the female dealer, ignoring her pleas.
Seeing this, Ji An'an couldn't help but feel sorry for her, so she tugged at Huo Xiao's sleeve and said, "Huo Xiao, she's so pitiful, can you please make them stop?"
Huo Xiao was pressing his temples hard. He didn't know what was wrong with him lately, he always had headaches. After the pain subsided, he glanced at the woman kneeling in front of him with a bruised and swollen face: "Stop hitting her."
Ji An'an looked at the female croupier's face with some pity: "Huo Xiao, should we have them take her to the hospital?"
"You're always so kind," Huo Xiao sighed, gently patting Ji An'an's head.
Turning her head, she looked at the group with a cold gaze: "Didn't you hear what Miss Ji said?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao! Yes, Miss Ji!"
Ji An'an smiled and tiptoed to kiss Huo Xiao's cheek. "Huo Xiao, you're so good."
...
Huo Xiao's head had been hurting ever since then. He called a medical team to examine him, but they couldn't find anything wrong.
