Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Yin Tianshen

Bai Yiran felt uneasy in her heart. She knew her uncle well, always proud and strong. And the family almost relied solely on him; going from a manager to a supervisor would significantly reduce his salary.

"I don’t know if my dad is cursed lately; he’s always making mistakes at the company, which was never the case before... The atmosphere at home is really oppressive now."

Cheng Shishi’s words made Bai Yiran’s heart skip a beat, as if she realized something.

Bai Yiran bit her lip, "Try to comfort Uncle more, I’ll be back home in a few days."

"Alright, I know..."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yiran felt a bit restless. Her uncle was a cautious man who rarely made mistakes, especially at work where he was meticulous and hardworking.

"Girl, you really shouldn’t have done that."

Bai Yiran suddenly recalled the last thing Leng Yichen said to her, and a trace of unease rose up.

The phone rang again, it was Lou Jing calling.

Lou Jing had borrowed an expensive piece of clothing from a colleague, promised to return it today but forgot to bring it. Her colleague was in a hurry to get it back, so there was no other choice but to have Bai Yiran deliver it for her.

Having grown up, it was Bai Yiran’s first time coming to the Golden City. From the outside, it was a scene of splendor and grandeur, with handsome valet boys and hostesses in cheongsams standing at the entrance.

Lou Jing didn’t plan for Bai Yiran to go inside. She knew that with Bai Yiran’s appearance, entering the Golden City would definitely cause trouble. It was agreed that when Bai Yiran reached the entrance, she’d call Lou Jing, and she would come out to receive it.

Bai Yiran arrived at the entrance and dialed Lou Jing’s phone number.

After a long time, the call finally connected, but the person who answered wasn’t Lou Jing.

"Hello... hello..." A strange woman’s anxious crying voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hi, I’m looking for Lou Jing."

"Lou Jing... Lou Jing was beaten... is being beaten... almost beaten to death..." It was clear the woman was very scared, crying almost to the point of suffocation.

"Beaten! Where is she? Why not call the police!"

"Can’t call the police... can’t call the police... What to do... who are you... save her please..."

Listening to the woman’s voice, Bai Yiran was burning with anxiety, striding into the gate of Golden City, "Where is she? Where is Lou Jing!"

Bai Yiran rushed into the cracked-open door of Box No. 8, where Lou Jing was being slapped by a rough man, with fresh blood dripping drop by drop from the corner of her mouth onto the purple carpet.

With a slap, another hit, the force twisted Lou Jing’s face, just in time for her to see Bai Yiran standing at the door.

Lou Jing was startled and just about to tell Bai Yiran to leave when another slap came down.

Without a second thought, Bai Yiran rushed over to shield Lou Jing, like a mother eagle protecting her chicks, spreading her arms wide to separate the man from Lou Jing.

"What gives you the right to hit someone!"

The man was taken aback, then looked at the owner on the sofa.

A cold voice with an aristocratic tone rang out, "It seems this Golden City doesn’t want to operate anymore. First, there was someone who dared to splash wine on my friend, and now there’s another who’s not afraid to meddle in others’ affairs."

An ingratiating voice quickly sounded, the owner of the place, "Young Master Yin, please don’t be angry, it’s my fault for not managing my girls properly, it’s just..."

It’s just that the meddler isn’t one of the girls here...

Bai Yiran followed the voice to look at the so-called Young Master Yin whom they mentioned, expecting to see what kind of sinister person he was, but instead saw a boy who wasn’t very old.

With neat granny gray hair, fringes aggressively standing back, a black tight-fitting wool sweater with a strong metal-sense necklace, and a light brown long leather coat over it.

Clearly dressed like an overbearing, pampered young master.
