I closed my eyes to rest and recuperate, but the phone started ringing incessantly.
"Hello, is this Mom?" Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the number; it was her home phone.
"Miss, it's me, Li Ma. A group of men in black broke into our house and took my husband and wife away." The woman who called herself Li Ma sounded flustered and at a loss.
"They've been arrested?" Ji Xiaoxiao's mind raced, and she immediately thought of the underworld boss Leng Hanxuan. Besides him, who else could disregard the law and come to their door to arrest someone?
"Li Ma, don't call the police yet. Those people look aggressive and are definitely not simple characters. If they find out we called the police, I'm afraid they'll kill the hostages." Ji Xiaoxiao calmly instructed Li Ma not to make a fuss. She would find a way to rescue the original owner's parents.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiaoxiao slumped weakly in the car seat. After a while, she said, "Stop the car."
“Miss Anran, you…” The driver had been with the original owner for several years, so there was still some affection between them.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today," Ji Xiaoxiao said, using her divine sense to subtly warn the driver.
“Miss Anran, I can…” Ji Xiaoxiao deliberately raised her voice, “Uncle Huang, I appreciate your kindness. But you have elderly parents and young children to support. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least consider them. Don’t get involved in what happens next. Go home now!”
Driver Uncle Huang was persuaded by Ji Xiaoxiao and obediently got out of the car.
Worried about the safety of the original owner's parents, Ji Xiaoxiao stepped on the gas pedal and, following the original owner's memories, made her way through many twists and turns until she finally arrived at a secluded house.
The house is an antique building, covering a vast area. From a distance, one can vaguely see that it has a magnificent palace with green tiles and red eaves, carved railings and painted beams, and soaring eaves.
Upon closer inspection, the house is even more beautiful than anything else in the human world.
Ji Xiaoxiao had no time to appreciate the scenery. With a nimble movement, she skillfully evaded the patrolling men. Before long, Ji Xiaoxiao arrived at the main hall of the house.
Inside the main hall, Qiao Heyun looked just like when he was born, panting heavily, his temples soaked with sweat. His whole body was bound by a rope, and his limbs were in a twisted position.
"Qiao Heyun, do you want it?"
Leng Hanxuan brandished his whip, and with a crisp, loud crack, it snapped.
"Tell your master, do you want it?"
Qiao Heyun gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Leng Hanxuan chuckled softly and lashed out with his whip at Qiao Heyun.
"Naughty pets should be disciplined by their owners."
The more Leng Hanxuan fought, the more force he exerted, and Qiao Heyun's body was soon covered in wounds.
Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't a kind-hearted person. She glanced at it, turned around, and left. After searching around, she couldn't find the original owner's parents. Helpless, she had no choice but to go to Leng Hanxuan.
"Bang!" Ji Xiaoxiao kicked down the main hall door.
"Leng Hanxuan, where are my parents? Where have you hidden them?"
Ji Xiaoxiao's actions drew the ire of the Leng family. A dense swarm of men in black, armed with guns, were ready to riddle Ji Xiaoxiao with bullets should she do anything inappropriate.
"Xu Li Anran?" Leng Hanxuan, shirtless, was sweating profusely from vigorous exercise, glistening under the lamplight. "You chose the path to heaven, but chose the path to hell. I was worried about finding you, but you willingly walked into the lion's den. What, have you realized how good your master was after leaving him?"
Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't going to waste any more words with Leng Hanxuan. With a wave of her hand, the gun in the man in black's hand crackled and automatically disassembled into pieces.
“You…” Leng Hanxuan subconsciously took a step back.
"Leng Hanxuan, where are my parents?" Ji Xiaoxiao took a step forward, and no one dared to stop her.
"Kill her for me." It's an illusion, it's an illusion, Leng Hanxuan kept telling himself.
The men in black exchanged glances, their mutual confusion evident. In this age of science, paranormal events cannot possibly make those who live lives of murder and bloodshed lay down their weapons.
Ji Xiaoxiao was not afraid of them bullying her because of their numbers. She threw a punch at the spot with the most people, and six or seven burly men immediately flew up.
Before long, Ji Xiaoxiao had finished dealing with the men in black.
"Leng Hanxuan, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them on!"
The fact that Leng Hanxuan could support the Leng family meant that he was not a useless person. Without some ability, he would have died long ago in the struggle for power.
“You’re very capable, but if I die, your parents will die too.” Leng Hanxuan pinched Ji Xiaoxiao’s soft spot tightly.
Protecting Xu Li's parents for their entire lives was one of the original owner's wishes. If they died, the mission would probably be...
"Fine, release my parents, and I'll let you go."
With both sides having reached an agreement, Ji Xiaoxiao strode off, preparing to go home and wait for someone.
"Anran, wait, could you... take me with you?"
Qiao Heyun was pale and covered in blood. His appearance was so heartbreaking that it would make anyone who heard it weep. Coupled with his pleading tone, even the most hard-hearted person would surrender in his presence.

Xiaoming saw Xiaoyun's message around 1 a.m.
Xiaoming actually wanted to reply, but he couldn't think of what to write, and before he knew it, it was noon!
Now Xiaoming doesn't want to say anymore that the subscription situation is terrible, even though it really is!
Because there are people who have always followed and supported Xiaoming, that is enough for Xiaoming to continue to work hard!
Keep going, work hard, strive, and persevere to the end!
Thank you so much, my dears! I am truly grateful!
That's all for self-encouragement. By the way, if any of you have any tickets, could you send a few to Xiaoming?
