The black figure was wrapped in black qi, hiding his face. And though he was a complete stranger, no one was helping Lan Yue.
Lan Yue’s action earned the crowd’s ire.
The black figure flicked and Lan Yue traced the sky over to where Lan Tianci was.
“Is your dad that great? To me he is nothing more than a dog.”
“I’ll kill you for humiliating dad!”
Lan Tianci roared, but only got two slaps as reward, hard enough to see stars and calm him down.
Lan Yue cursed nonstop. The black figure didn’t play favorites, making sure he received the same number of slaps.
“Fool! Spoiling isn’t wrong, but what you did has long stopped being spoiling and harming him instead!
“You think you can protect him his entire life? What are you thinking holding his side even when he does wrong? Are you trying to send him to an early grave?”
The black figure’s questions left Lan Yue mute.
“You think you can tell me what to do? How, when not even your dad can do anything to me.
“Weren’t you cocky just now? Come on, bark!”
The black figure gave Lan Tianci a harsh and thorough lesson.
“D-don’t get so full of yourself, I-I…” Lan Tianci wanted to say his dad wouldn’t let the man go but seeing his dad slapped around robbed him of any nerve he gathered.
“I’ll teach your son real good. Whether or not he lives is all up to him.”
The black figure grabbed Lan Tianci and was gone.
“What are you standing around for? After him!
“I’m the chief! How dare you disobey my orders! I will have you all expelled!”
Lan Yue raved.
But no one listened.
Respect and honor were earned slowly, yet it took just one moment to crumble.
“Where are you taking me? Let me go!”
Li Mo threw him in the street.
Who else could the black man be? Only Li Mo could subdue Lan Yue so fast.
“How dare you mess with me! My dad… I-I will not let you off.” Lan Tianci stood up.
“You should think about survival first.”
“What does that mean?” Lan Tianci didn’t get him.
“You’ll see.”
Li Mo’s figure vanished.
“What are you so smug about? I’ll kill you one day, don’t you worry!”
Lan Tianci spat, then took his bearings. He didn’t know where he was and checked his phone but it wasn’t even on him. The same went for his stuff.
Li Mo took everything.
“You think it’s that hard to live without my phone and credit card? How naïve, I am Lan Yue’s son. I have plenty of money!”
Lan Tianci snorted and went to a phone booth.
Lan Tianci asked a lady on his way, “Led me an RMB to make a call and I’ll give it back tenfold.”
The girl was kind and gave him an RMB.
“Thank you! Wait for me!”
Lan Tianci called Lan Yue from the booth.
“Dad, are you alright?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Tianci! Are you alright, don’t you recognize me?”
“Go to hell!”
Toot~
Lan Yue hung up.
Lan Tianci was stunned.
‘What just happened?’
“This…”
Lan Tianci suddenly noticed the reflection in the phone booth’s glass.
His appearance changed.
Before he wore designer clothes and looked cool, but now he had a beard and black all over, just like an Indian. ‘Where did my dashing good looks go?’
“My voice!”
Only now Lan Tianci noticed his rough and hard voice, like sandpaper.
‘No wonder dad doesn’t recognize me. My voice changed.’
“That bastard! It’s all his fault! Just what the hell did he do to me? Why do I look like this?”
“N-no…”
Lan Tianci cried as he ran and ran.
“Don’t run, uncle, you don’t need to return the money!” The lady said from behind.
“Ahhh~” Lan Tianci ran faster.
A week later, Lan Tianci was huddled in a corner somewhere, no different from a beggar.
Whenever someone passed by, he would cling over.
“I am Lan Tianci. My dad is Lan Yue. If you take me to the capital, I will give you millions!”
“Get lost, filthy beggar! Don’t dirty my pants!”
“But I am Lan Tianci! My dad is Lan Yue!” Lan Tianci cried.
Lan Tianci was in despair.
Then a gorgeous policewoman was found standing before him.
Lan Tianci was about to speak, but thought better. If these past days had taught him anything was that speaking was pointless.
The policewoman gave him a bread and a bottle of water. He was stunned for a second before wolfing it down.
He cried all the while. Of all the gourmet food he had in his life, nothing could compare to this bread.
“Thank you…” Lan Tianci sobbed, omitting to say he’d pay back.
“Where you from?”
“Capital. My dad… I’m from the capital. Could you take me home?”
“I can, it just so happens I am taking the buss there.”
Lan Tianci cried from happiness, “Thank you, thank you. When we get to the capital, I will give you heaps of money.”
The policewoman smiled, “You’re that rich?”
Lan Tianci nodded, “Very. My family has billions.”
“Take me to the capital and I’ll give you thirty millions.”
“I have enough money. I’m already going there so taking you isn’t much effort.”
“Don’t worry, I am a man who repays kindness!”
“Hi-hi.”
The next day found Lan Tianci in the capital, but what he saw left him in tears.
“You look amazing, what’s your name? How about you be my girlfriend? Better yet, my wife. Only someone with your personality, like my mother, is suited to be my wife.”
Having been in contact with the policewoman this past day made him fall for her.
“Sorry, but I’m taken.”
“Just leave him.”
“Why?”
“Because I promise to treat you better.”
“Ha-ha, what can you give me, money? Sorry, but I seem to have more than you. I have a five-star hotel under my name and half the stocks to a corporation…
“Safety? My boyfriend is invincible. He will save me the minute I am in danger.
“What can you do?”
“Y-you’re teasing me. I don’t believe you.”
“Think what you like. Then again, me being his girlfriend is just a one-sided love…”
The policewoman sighed.
“What’s your name? Tell me!”
Lan Tianci shouted at the leaving policewoman.
“Liu Yuxuan.”
