The fake sunset on the horizon was like fire.

Lin Chengfeng and Lin Xingtong followed Gu Wanxue out of the police station.

"Thank you for making this trip. I'll pay you back the ransom later," Lin Chengfeng said with a smile, thanking Gu Wanxue.

"You're too kind. We're friends. This is just what I should do."

"I'm sorry, Sister Gu, my brother and I have caused you trouble." Lin Xingtong bowed her head and apologized.

Gu Wanxue smiled and shook her head, "It's no trouble. The management system of Sacred Heart Base City is biased towards combatants, and conflicts are bound to occur when outsiders come here."

I'd heard from your brother before that he had a cute little sister, and now that I've seen her, she's even cuter than I imagined.

Lin Xingtong blushed slightly: "Sister Gu... you're joking. I'm just a commoner from the countryside, how could I be considered cute?"

Looking at Lin Xingtong, who was dressed simply, Gu Wanxue's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Lin Chengfeng and asked, "Do you have time now? I'd like to take Xingtong to get dressed up."

"Huh!?" Lin Xingtong was surprised.

Lin Chengfeng glanced at the time: "The family banquet doesn't start until seven o'clock. We have nothing to do until then."

"Then...please allow me to borrow your sister for two hours!" Gu Wanxue grasped Lin Xingtong's hand.

"Huh!?"

Lin Xingtong was shocked for the second time.

This script isn't right, shouldn't it be about borrowing their own brother?

How did I become the main character?

Lin Chengfeng smiled. Gu Wanxue was one of the few people he could trust: "Take it, you don't have to return it."

"Hey! You just sold me out like that?!" Lin Xingtong glared fiercely at Lin Chengfeng.

Lin Chengfeng shrugged.

"Alright, alright, Xingtong, let's go. I'll take you to a shopping mall without any combatants." Gu Wanxue took Lin Xingtong's hand and left the entrance of the police station.

Watching the two figures disappear around the corner, Lin Chengfeng lowered his eyes, radiating a chilling aura.

"My cousin's fiancé will definitely not let us off the hook. He might cause trouble at tonight's banquet. If he tries to kill us outright, that's fine. But if he doesn't, I'll just have to wait until the banquet is over before dealing with him."

……

In the blink of an eye, inside a jewelry store.

"Xingtong, try this necklace on, it suits you very well." Gu Wanxue picked up a necklace inlaid with three rubies and put it on Lin Xingtong.

"This... this necklace is too big, I can't handle it, Sister Gu..." Lin Xingtong wanted to politely decline, but Gu Wanxue acted too quickly and put it on a second before she could refuse.

"Nonsense, isn't this quite appropriate?" Gu Wanxue brought a mirror and showed it to Lin Xingtong.

The crimson jewel paired with the newly purchased swan-patterned black dress is absolutely stunning.

Lin Xingtong said it wasn't appropriate, but when she really started to appreciate it, she became confused herself.

"Okay, this is it. I'll give it to you, sister."

"Hey! No, Sister Gu, this is too expensive." Lin Xingtong hurriedly took off the necklace, but Gu Wanxue grabbed her fidgeting hands.

"Just accept it if you want it. If you really feel bad about it... have your brother pay for it. I'll give him the bill later."

Upon hearing that Lin Chengfeng would pay the bill, Lin Xingtong accepted without hesitation.

"Hehe, well... I won't stand on ceremony and accept it."

"Um."

Gu Wanxue smiled slightly.

In fact, she had already switched the necklace.

The necklace Lin Xingtong is currently wearing contains a locator and a listening device.

Because of Lin Xingtong's mysterious death in her previous life, Gu Wanxue plans to protect her secretly, while also finding a few excuses to make Lin Chengfeng pay more attention to his sister's changes.

"It's almost time. We should return Xiaoxingtong, or someone will be restless."

Lin Xingtong shrugged and sighed, "If he cared about me, he wouldn't only see me once every year or even every few years."

……

That night.

In front of the famous White Pearl Restaurant in Shangcheng District.

Lin Xingtong changed into a black swan dress, with a dazzling ruby ​​necklace hanging under her snow-white neck.

Lin Chengfeng was dressed in a suit, but... his tie was black, making him look more like someone attending a funeral.

"Let's go in."

"Um."

The brother and sister entered the restaurant together and, led by a waiter, wandered around until they arrived at the private room.

I could faintly hear laughter and cheerful voices coming from inside.

The moment the door was pushed open, the noise inside stopped abruptly.

Five familiar yet unfamiliar faces looked at Lin Chengfeng and Lin Xingtong outside the door.

"Oh my, Feng'er and Tong'er are back! Come, come, come sit here." Auntie smiled and gestured for the two to come in and sit down.

She appears gentle, but in reality, she is two-faced. Lin Chengfeng and his sister suffered a lot from her underhanded tactics when they were young.

Lin Chengfeng's uncles and aunts didn't look too happy. Lin Chengfeng was already used to it; they all thought he and his sister were a burden.

Of course, the one with the worst expression was undoubtedly the grandfather, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Hmph, you've got quite the attitude. You know the banquet is starting at half an hour early, and you expect us to wait for you?" Luo Tiankuo reprimanded him with a stern face.

Lin Xingtong frowned slightly, feeling a wave of nausea as the childhood trauma was stirred up.

Lin Chengfeng ignored Luo Tiankuo completely, pulled out a chair near the door, and let his younger sister sit down first.

This blatant disregard infuriated Luo Tiankuo, who slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What kind of behavior is this! Just like your mother who eloped with some blond-haired bastard!"

"elder brother……"

Lin Xingtong tugged at Lin Chengfeng's sleeve and shook her head slightly, afraid that Lin Chengfeng would twist Luo Tiankuo's head off and use it as a basketball.

Lin Chengfeng smiled and gently stroked her head: "Don't worry, just treat it as watching a play. There won't be any bloodshed, at least... not in front of you."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the door to the private room was pushed open again.

Lin Chengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed two chilling killing intents directed at him and Lin Xingtong.

There was also an aura of pressure belonging to a B-level combatant. It was released without restraint, and its intensity was no less than that of Teng Qianfan and the others, seemingly intended to deliberately intimidate Lin Chengfeng.
