Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 16 My Master's Ancestors Were Immortals

Jiang Huaiying laughed instead of getting angry when she heard Du Hexuan's threat: "You won't let me have an easy time? I'd like to see how you can make me have an easy time?"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards in black all stepped forward simultaneously, and a conflict was imminent.

Seeing this, Du Anrao didn't bother to continue investigating his second brother's ill-fated relationship with Jiang Huaiying. He smiled and said, "Why does President Jiang have to make things so ugly? My second brother didn't mean it that way. Don't get angry. There's a saying, 'Harmony is the most important thing in all things.'"

Hearing Du Anrao say this, Jiang Huaiying assumed that she had been frightened by the scene and had given in on her own initiative. She raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and her tone became even more contemptuous and forceful.

"I don't care what he means. Whether you like it or not, you have to come with me today. If you know what's good for you, you'll suffer less. Otherwise, my men are not to be trifled with. If things get out of hand, you'll be the ones who suffer."

Du Anrao's smile vanished upon hearing her words, and he said meaningfully, "No room for discussion?"

"What's there to discuss?" Jiang Huaiying's patience had run out. She reached out to pinch Du Anrao's cheek, but the other party grabbed her wrist first.

"Then there's nothing we can do. You started it."

"What?" Jiang Huaiying was stunned. Only then did she realize that both of her hands had been grabbed by Du Anrao without her noticing. She subconsciously tried to pull her hands back but found that... they didn't budge.
“You…” Jiang Huaiying’s expression suddenly changed. She tried to pull her hand back forcefully, but found that her wrist was red and the force in her hand was still not loosened at all.

The searing pain enraged Jiang Huaiying, who turned around furiously and roared at the black-clad bodyguards behind her, "Are you all dead? Come and drag her away!"

No one noticed the struggle between the two until Jiang Huaiying said something, at which point they suddenly realized what was happening and stepped forward to fight Du Anrao.

Du Hexuan couldn't stand by and watch his sister suffer, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to join the fight, but Du Anrao pushed him away.

"Go to the side, don't cause trouble."

Du Hexuan, who stumbled after being pushed, was speechless.

Zhou Shunzhe and his companion were also in a dilemma, unsure whether they should step forward and lend a hand.

However, before they could finish their internal struggle, they watched helplessly as Du Anrao grabbed Jiang Huaiying with one hand and the hand of the black-clad bodyguard who was closest to her, throwing the burly man, who was twice her size, against the wall of the private room with a slight effort.

That's right, it's a shake!
The bodyguard made such a loud noise when he hit the wall that the whole room shook. Then he fell to the ground with a thud like a rag doll, letting out a painful howl.

Three people in the room:...

Xi Jingyue, who rushed to the door in a hurry: ...

Such superhuman strength? They're probably just hallucinating from being too nervous!
The scene then got a little out of control. In Director Gao's words, in all his years of directing, this was the first time he had ever seen someone beat someone into flying through the air with just brute force, without relying on any fancy moves.

Well, that's obviously an exaggeration, but he had no doubt that if the space hadn't been too small, preventing them from fully unleashing their power, Duanran could have truly sent them all flying.

The chaotic battle, in which one side completely crushed the other, began suddenly and ended in a dramatic fashion.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, the six or seven bodyguards in black were lying down or sitting, their cries of pain filling the air; not a single one of them could stand up.

The private room was a mess, with broken bowls, plates, and dishes scattered all over the floor, and the tables, chairs, and decorations all overturned.

Du Anrao calmed down and looked at the situation, his face stiffening slightly. He sheepishly withdrew his little paw that had caused the trouble. [Ugh, I'm not going to have to pay compensation, am I? Everyone, you all have to testify for me later, it really was the other person who started it, it was self-defense, self-defense! Waaah, can I at least pay less?]

With a commercial value exceeding 100 million, Du Hexuan felt underestimated: ...

Don't worry, with me here, even if you smash up the whole hotel, I can afford to pay for it, let alone this private room.

Even if all else fails, we still have Dad and my older brother.

Unaware that they were being used as a ready-made ATM, Brother Du and his father were left bewildered.
Xi Jingyue, who arrived a step late, was amused by the situation. He was still thinking about compensation at this point, which meant he really hadn't suffered any loss and all his worry had been for nothing.

Du Anrao's guilty conscience lasted only a moment. After glancing at the black-clad bodyguards groaning on the ground, he immediately regained his composure.

[I told you we should have come along. If I hadn't been here today, my second brother would probably have been kidnapped by this old woman and forced into being her husband... cough cough, her lover.]

Du Hexuan, who almost became the bandit's lover, twitched his lips a few times, feeling both angry and amused.

Yes, yes, from now on you will be Second Brother's strongest protector. When Second Brother goes back, he will ask Brother Zhou to order a few more sets of jewelry for you as a bonus.

Fortunately, Du Anrao didn't know what her second brother was thinking, otherwise she probably would have packed her suitcase and run away overnight.

She was already worried sick about the previous set of jewelry, fearing that someone would sneak in through the window in the middle of the night and steal it. If she got a few more sets, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep at all.

Jiang Huaiying never expected that simply taking a trinket she liked to play with for a couple of days would lead to such a mishap that she would drag down her entire bodyguard team, including herself.

His face was ashen, and he trembled uncontrollably, filled with both anger and fear.

"You...you...who exactly are you?"

"Huh? Didn't my brother just say that I'm his biological sister, born of the same parents? The real deal, no deception." Du Anrao paused, glanced at the people on the table and the floor, and revealed an innocent and harmless smile.

"As for this, I am a Taoist priest. My master's family name is Yuan, and it is said that there was a famous person in my family named Yuan Tiangang."

"You're a Taoist priest?" Jiang Huaiying's voice suddenly rose, her mind buzzing. "What kind of nonsense is this?"

"To put it bluntly, my master's ancestors were immortals. As his true disciple, all of you mortals combined probably couldn't beat me."

Everyone: "..." What's possible? They simply can't beat them!
Jiang Huaiying was so angry that her face turned ashen, but she dared not retaliate, fearing that Du Anrao might hit her if he was displeased.

Just then, the belated owner of the private room finally reappeared and asked, "What... is going on?"

Jiang Huaiying's eyes brightened slightly; never before had she felt so grateful for Xi Jingyue's appearance: "Xi..."

Before she could finish speaking, Du Anrao interrupted her: "Sister Jiang's bodyguards didn't eat dinner last night and wanted to come in for a bite to eat. But the private room is only so big, and there aren't enough seats. They started arguing over seats, and then they started fighting, and that's how it ended up like this."

The audience who watched the whole thing: "Pfft..."

The greedy bodyguards lying on the ground, unable to get up, were speechless. They were more wronged than Dou E!
