"It's my fault, I was confused. Here's the money, you can buy some candy."
Luo Yan's face looked badly swollen, but she avoided pointing out the problem. Her eardrums were fine, and her teeth were all good, but she had to put on a convincing act.
"Waaaaah, Daddy, I'm scared."
Luo Yan dropped the money in her hand and, frightened, burrowed into Luo Shicheng's arms.
Luo Shicheng held Luo Yan in his arms, knowing full well that his daughter was acting, but the beating was real. He didn't need Luo Yan to suffer like that. He was both angry and heartbroken, holding Luo Yan and comforting her, ignoring Liu Bo's embarrassed expression.

Without hesitation, Luo Shicheng picked up Luo Yan and said, "Lead the way."
Liu Bo felt uneasy after hearing the quick agreement.
Liang Zhizhong also stood up, "I'll go too, so we can look out for each other if anything happens."
As he spoke, Liang Zhizhong picked up the money on the coffee table and stuffed it into Luo Yan's small handbag.
"Keep it with you; you'll have to pay for your own medical expenses when needed."
