Chapter 384: Chapter 384 New Year’s Day (8)

Over the years, the An Family had always kept a low profile, simplifying all their affairs. It was as if humility had become synonymous with the An Family.

However, this time, Old Master An had declared that the celebration had to be grand! Whatever was grandest, that was how it shall be done! His beloved granddaughter’s return banquet couldn’t be inferior to any of the grand daughters of wealthy families!

Therefore, the entire An Family mobilized all their connections to ensure that this banquet was conducted with great splendor and uniqueness!

Yet An Yiqing, who was the person in question, was not involved in the planning of the banquet at this moment. She was busy, very busy, even more so than the rest of the An Family.

As the year was drawing to a close, Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals was about to make its debut, ready to fire its first shot!

Besides that, she had to visit the orphanage every day to treat Mother Huang and Ah Shi.

On the second day of the New Year, An Yiqing spent the morning busy in the medicinal fields. After having lunch, she took a taxi to the orphanage.

Sitting in the car, she couldn’t help but smack her forehead. Look at this memory, she forgot to buy a car again!

Eventually, after a journey of several dozen minutes, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the orphanage.

An Yiqing paid the fare, politely thanked the driver, and watched as the taxi drove away.

As she turned toward the entrance, An Yiqing frowned, her sharp ears catching the sound of children crying and men shouting from inside the yard.

"This is an orphanage that Mother Huang paid for herself. By what right do you demand that we leave? This is forced buying and selling!" Ah Shi’s icy voice could be heard emanating.

Immediately following, a thuggish voice spat out a contemptuous "Pah".

"Forced buying and selling? I’ll tell you! In this area, I am the law! If you don’t want to drink a toast, you’ll have to drink a penalty! You don’t want to sell for five hundred thousand, you think you’re made of money?!"

At this moment, Ah Wu shouted angrily, "Bullshit! Five hundred thousand! That’s not even half the price of this property! You’re clearly bullying us! I’m telling you, we won’t move! This is our home!"

"Damn brat, itching for a beating, huh? Hit them! Beat them until they agree to sell!"

"What are you doing? Ah Shi, is your heart okay?" An urgent voice came from Ah Wu, "Stop it! They’re just kids! Stop it!"

An Yiqing quickened her steps and, with a few swift moves, entered the yard.

Seeing the scene in the yard, her gaze became icy, her anger surging!

There were about twenty rough-looking, burly men dressed in gangster attire, some wielding iron rods, and even three of them holding watermelon knives. They were ganging up on a bunch of kids, striking anyone they saw. Ah Shi, with his weak heart, had already fallen to the ground, his face pale, his glasses knocked off and shattered from being stepped on. Ah Yi and a few others were desperately trying to protect a group of children. However, outnumbered by many armed opponents, and with the orphanage’s side limited in combat power—aside from the gravely ill Ah Shi, only eleven other grown boys—it didn’t take long before they all sustained injuries!

"Stop it all!"

With a single fierce shout from An Yiqing, her voice infused with Inner Breath, it resonated like the sound of a bell-ring, causing a buzzing in everyone’s ears.

Ah Yi and the others turned their heads in surprise.

"Miss, please leave quickly! It’s dangerous here!" In their panic, they forgot about An Yiqing’s dexterous skills, hoping only that she would not get involved.

An Yiqing’s heart warmed a little; she hadn’t chosen the wrong people. These boys would become her good brothers.

Without saying a word, she continued to walk forward, stopping in front of the man who appeared to be the leader.

"Who sent you?" An Yiqing looked at him coolly, asking coldly.
