Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Time to Get Rich

The man in front looks very unfriendly.

Bai Yifan weakly thought, maybe his dad had too many lawsuits, and someone came for revenge!

It wasn't entirely unfounded, as such things had happened before.

Except the target of revenge wasn't his family, but another lawyer at Mr. Bai's firm.

"Where's the girl who was with you last time?"

Leng Yebai gripped Bai Yifan's wrist, his voice carrying a hint of raspiness.

Finally, he would see her in reality.

"Ahem, could you let go first?" Bai Yifan deliberately ignored the man's question and pointed around, "So many people here! How about we go to a café and chat?"

Leng Yebai glanced at the people scrutinizing them, a trace of discomfort on his face.

Yet, his hand remained firm.

The person appearing in his dreams is related to the young man before him.

He desperately wanted to know her name.

Leng Yebai, holding Bai Yifan's wrist, moved away from the supermarket entrance to a less crowded area.

Bai Yifan's dark eyes fixed on Leng Yebai, feeling some familiarity with the man.

That's it!

Bai Yifan suddenly recalled, isn't this the guy running around on the streets that day!

Bai Yifan's heart skipped a beat, he might not be right in the head!

But... seeing his well-dressed appearance, he seems unlikely!

Bai Yifan dared not yell, fearing provocation, kept calm since he wasn't taken out of public view.

As long as he's on the streets, Bai Yifan isn't too scared, only worrying if suddenly a knife appears.

"Who are you? Is there a misunderstanding with my dad?"

Bai Yifan tried to speak calmly and attempted to pull his hand away from Leng Yebai.

Yet Leng Yebai's grip was too firm, making it impossible to withdraw.

"Who's your dad?"

Leng Yebai was momentarily stunned by Bai Yifan's question.

Seeing Leng Yebai's puzzled expression, Bai Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seems not here for revenge!

"Do you know me? Do we have a conflict?"

Bai Yifan asked again.

"I'm looking for the girl who was with you last time."

Leng Yebai squinted slightly, his cold voice carried an almost imperceptible anticipation.

So, she from his dreams truly existed.

Soon.

Soon, he would know her name.

Leng Yebai's heart thumped uncontrollably, even slightly elated.

"Which one do you mean? I hang out with too many girls, not sure who you're talking about!"

Bai Yifan rolled his eyes, deliberately speaking in a frivolous tone.

No way he'd tell a stranger his sister's name, especially if he's a bit off.

Leng Yebai narrowed his eyes, and his fingers slightly tightened.

Seeing Bai Yifan's flippant demeanor, Leng Yebai almost wanted to break his hand.

The one he wanted to meet was being mentioned so dismissively by this annoying kid.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, that hurts!"

Bai Yifan's face slightly twisted, feeling his wrist about to snap.

"Last Sunday, the girl you went shopping with, what's her name!"

Leng Yebai's cold eyes fixed tightly on Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan was chilled by Leng Yebai's icy voice, and his wrist ached.

But, he would never betray his sister!

"Her name is――"

Bai Yifan deliberately dragged the sound.

Leng Yebai leaned close, seemingly eager to hear clearly.

Bai Yifan's eyes shifted, and he fiercely stomped on Leng Yebai's foot, breaking free and running.

Leng Yebai paused, quickly reacted, took two large strides, and grabbed Bai Yifan's clothes.

Bai Yifan, yanked forcefully, lost balance and fell to the ground.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Bai Yifan exaggeratedly shouted, trying to draw the passerby's attention.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yifan fell, all eyes turned towards them.

"Hey, how can an adult bully a kid?"

"Kid, why aren't you at school? Go back to class!"

"Seriously, an adult bullying a kid, what's the matter with you! Dressed so well!"

Several righteous passersby gathered around.

Leng Yebai's face stiffened slightly, lips pressed as he looked at Bai Yifan lying on the ground, eyes cold.

This cheeky kid, how could he be connected to her!

So annoying!

Not hitting him was already a testament to his self-control.

Bai Yifan saw many people gathering around and relaxed, calmly sitting on the ground, pulling out his phone to call his dad.

"Hey, Dad, where are you?"

"I was hit by someone!"

"I didn't fight back! Really didn't fight back, I'm the one who got hit!"

"Ah, there are cameras around, yeah, lots of people here, passersby saw!"

Bai Yifan muttered into the phone for a while, then hung up.

"My family's coming, do you want to leave first?"

Bai Yifan asked.

Leng Yebai's face darkened, silent.

"Fine, don't leave then." Bai Yifan shrugged.

Meanwhile.

"Dad, who called?"

Bai Xiqin curiously looked at the smiling Bai Anhai.

"Haha, your brother called, we're going to make a fortune!"

Bai Anhai's smile revealed his teeth!

Just when money's tight, someone's here to send money!

Hitting Bai Yifan + Bai Yifan not fighting back = making a fortune.

As a top lawyer, Bai Anhai was confident of striking it rich!

"Make a fortune?"

Bai Xiqin and Wang Yiyun's eyes simultaneously lit up.

"Yes! Make a fortune!" Bai Anhai pointed to the warehouse truck, "At least we can fill up a truck with supplies!"

"Quick, let's go!" Wang Yiyun's eyes sparkled, striding towards the parking lot, "I'll get the car!"

Bai Xiqin and Bai Anhai locked up the warehouse door, then waited outside for Wang Yiyun to bring the car.

"Dad, who did you say got hit?"

Bai Xiqin asked.

"Your brother was hit for no reason and didn't fight back."

Bai Anhai's smile broadened uncontrollably.

These cases were the easiest.

His son was a minor, his mind surely traumatized, at least a half-truck of supplies for emotional damages.

"Ah? Didn't you ask how badly he was hurt?"

Bai Xiqin was puzzled.

Was her brother really their biological child?

"Ah, forgot." Bai Anhai patted his head, "My memory! If he's badly hurt, definitely need to extor... get more compensation!"

Bai Xiqin: …

Bai Xiqin's glance was quietly cast toward Bai Anhai, intent on extorting money due to poverty, silently pulling out her phone to call her brother.

Meanwhile――

A gentle female voice came from Bai Yifan's phone.

"Xiao Fan, are you okay? How's your injury?"

"No... hey, why are you grabbing my phone!"

Bai Yifan, having just answered the call, had his phone snatched by a big hand.

"He… is fine, just a misunderstanding, you, come get him."

Leng Yebai took a deep breath, exerted tremendous restraint, trying to speak calmly.

Was it an illusion, Bai Yifan somehow felt Leng Yebai's fingers tremble slightly.

"Okay!"

The familiar girl's voice replied, then the call ended.

Leng Yebai's tense posture relaxed slightly, eyes fixed on the phone screen, memorizing the number displayed.

Also noticing the contact name – Sis.
