My Arrogant Young Lady

The scene shifts. We're now on our way to No. 13 Middle School. Li, the talented young master, was tense the whole way, two red handprints on his face. He glanced at Young Master Bao and Hurricane beside him, then at me and An Yao driving in the front seat. He looked again at the BMWs, Mercedes vans, and a dozen taxis following behind. Seeing our silence, Li finally broke down. "Please, please stop torturing me. I know you're all rich, each one richer than the last. I can't beat you, I give up. Forget about my knocked-out teeth. I won't seek revenge. Please, please let me go, okay?"

"You sent people to injure my sister Dong'er yesterday, and you think you can just let this go like this?" Young Master Bao sneered.

"No, no, no, we're willing to pay compensation. We've already investigated your identities. We know who you are. If we had known you had such powerful connections, we wouldn't have dared to bother you even if you killed us. I was wrong, I'll never fight you again. You can give me whatever amount you want, I'll even kowtow to you. Please, please stop torturing me..." Li Dacaizi shouted.

"Do you know who we are?" An Yao asked in surprise.

"Yes, we've investigated you. Right after you ran away yesterday, Baiyi Bingxin sent people to find out your background. We know that Xi'er comes from the Yehenara family. She's the last princess of the royal family. An Yao, your family is from the provincial military region, and your grandfather is a very important figure. And Wang Xi, his uncle, his uncle is the number one underworld boss in the provincial capital... It turns out that the young master Hao who was with you before, he's not even qualified to carry your shoes..." After saying this, Li Dacaizi started to sob.

"Hehe, you're quite capable, actually managing to find out about Brother Xi's family background?" Young Master Bao laughed.

"Yes, my cousin's family is very powerful. His father used to be a gangster and has many underworld connections. We not only found out about your background, but also who Wang Xi's parents are. It turns out that Wang Xi's father used to turn this provincial capital upside down..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Dacai's expression suddenly changed. He clearly saw that Hurricane's eyes were murderous. Seeing Hurricane's murderous gaze, Li Dacai stopped abruptly, as if someone had grabbed his neck.

"Do you know what my parents' names are?" I was startled and couldn't help but ask.

“Li, you great talent, don’t you think you know too much?” Hurricane looked at him with a sinister gaze.

"What are my parents' names?" Seeing that Hurricane seemed to be hiding something from me, I asked again.

“Young Master, you don’t need to ask anymore. No matter how much you ask him, he won’t dare to say it again. Please believe in Hurricane. After you and Senior Leng Yan have finished learning your skills, we will definitely tell you your parents’ names in person.” Hurricane looked at me seriously.

"Why didn't you tell me my parents' names?" I asked.

Only now do I realize I don't even know my parents' names. And I don't even know where my home is. They've told me so much about my family, but why didn't they tell me these most basic things? My parents' names, where our home is. Are these things really that important to them?

"Why? Tell me?" I asked.

"I can't say." Hurricane gently shook his head.

"..." I couldn't help but frown after hearing what Hurricane said.

However, at that moment, An Yao, who was driving, suddenly shouted "Oh no!" Then, she accelerated the car and drove even faster towards No. 13 Middle School.

When we arrived at No. 13 Middle School, we immediately led the brothers to find Bai Yi Bing Xin. He was eating at a restaurant outside the school, and when he saw us, he turned pale with fright.

“Wang Xi, so your name is Wang Xi. I know who you are now, and I am indeed not qualified to speak to you…” Bai Yi Bingxin stared intently into my eyes.

"Where is Runtu?" I asked.

“Runtu, he has already dropped out of school…” said Baiyi Bingxin.

"What!?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Just last night, after Runtu injured you, we sent people to investigate your identities. Upon learning who you were, Runtu dropped out of school to avoid your retaliation. You know, Runtu is just an ordinary person; his family is very poor, and he has a sickly grandmother. He can't afford to offend big shots like you..."

"..."

Chapter 124 Look Behind You

On the way back, I felt an indescribable sense of loss. I never imagined that Baiyi Bingxin would secretly investigate my identity, and that Runtu would drop out of school out of fear of our retaliation. Perhaps Baiyi Bingxin is just that kind of person—a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Before dealing with others, she first inquires about their family background. If she encounters someone without connections, she crushes them; if she encounters someone with connections, she chooses another approach.

He thought we were really as easy to bully and a bunch of good-for-nothings as Li Dacaizi had said. But when Baiyi Bingxin saw our considerable strength, she immediately sent people to investigate us.

Xi'er's family is incredibly powerful, and my family's power is comparable to hers. After learning about our background, Baiyi Bingxin was so frightened that he dared not fight us again. Even with a master like Runtu helping him, he still wouldn't dare fight us.

So, just how powerful is my family?

What are my parents called?

Why? An Yao never tells me her parents' names. She's a girl with her own ideas; what's her purpose in doing this?

What a pity, we missed out on such a good helper as Runtu. If we could have recruited him and trained him properly, my strength as Wang Xi would have doubled.

Right now, I only have Young Master Bao and Lu Zhicheng. I'm still far behind Xi'er's group and An Yao's group.

In my mind, I couldn't help but recall my conversation with Bai Yi Bing Xin before I left. I was shocked for a long time after hearing that Runtu had dropped out of school, and then I asked him, "If he drops out, where will he go?"

“I don’t know. If we find out where he is, his situation will become dangerous because of you. I only know that his family is very poor, and he earned his tuition by working as my henchman. After dropping out of school, he might go to work. He always tells me that he really wants to make money so that his grandmother can live in an apartment building. Because the bungalow is too cold, he has always envied our house because it has underfloor heating and the windows don’t let in any drafts,” said Bai Yibingxin.

“If he contacts you, please have him contact me. Tell him I don’t want to cause him any trouble; I just want to be friends with him,” I said.

“He contacted me, and I will tell him,” said Bai Yibingxin.

A glance at the silent phone filled me with a sudden feeling. It held a place, a place reserved for Runtu. If he could join us, I would treat him like a true brother.

Beside me, Young Master Bao seemed quite smug. Pulling my arm, he grinned and said, "Young Master, I'm the most sensible one, aren't I? The moment I saw your sister An Yao, I was so scared I immediately pledged my allegiance to you. I knew your status was terrifyingly high. Even someone like Little Good Guy is only qualified to carry your shoes; how could I possibly be your match?"

"You're just too low-key. If you revealed your identity as the heir of the Wang family, the big bosses of the sixty-five schools in the five districts of our provincial capital would probably all submit to you. But it's fine as it is now. As soon as Bai Yi Bing Xin heard about your identity, he was so scared that he immediately surrendered. He's much smarter than Li Da Cai Zi. Bai Yi Bing Xin has surrendered to you, which means we've already taken over thirteen schools in the South City. Hahaha, this is so satisfying... Taking over thirteen schools in one go, even my young master Bao wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing..."

"Who are my parents?" I suddenly asked him.

"..." Young Master Bao was stunned after hearing my words.

"Who are my parents?" I asked again.

"I...I don't know..." Young Master Bao said.

"So, do you know what the Wang family does?" I asked.

"Well, I don't know either. He's probably very rich, richer than a country," said Young Master Bao.

“You don’t know who my parents are, nor do you know what the Wang family does. Do you think you’ll be afraid of me just because I say I’m the heir of the Wang family? Bai Yi Bing Xin knows who my parents are, and he knows what the Wang family does. That’s why he’s afraid of me, don’t you think?” I asked.

“Yes, we should ask Baiyi Bingxin who your parents are, and what your family does. That way, if anything happens in the future, we can just mention your parents’ names, and we’ll be even more awesome,” said Young Master Bao.

“But An Yao won’t let Bai Yi Bing Xin tell me, and she won’t tell me either,” I said.

"Why?" Young Master Bao asked An Yao, who was driving.

“Because I don’t need to tell my brother who his parents are. As long as others know who his parents are, they will naturally be afraid of my brother. Moreover, in this country, apart from a few families and a few individuals, our Wang family has no rivals,” An Yao said.

"So, who exactly are our parents?" I asked.

"I can't say." An Yao's eyes were cold as she focused on driving.

Hearing An Yao's words, I narrowed my eyes. At that moment, I seemed to vaguely know my parents' names. Even if she didn't tell me, I still found a flaw in her words. Because she told me that apart from a few families and a few individuals in the country, our Wang family had no rivals.

She won't tell me my parents' names. Probably because they're too famous. If I knew their names, I would know everything.

But, is it really them?

If I really am their child, then everything makes sense. And... my surname is Wang, and that mythical figure also shares the surname Wang...

Although I've always been a very honest person, I've still heard his name quite often. I remember once when the big shot from the provincial capital went out, I saw countless cars surrounding his vehicle. Looking at that long convoy, I couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "So impressive."

"Compared to him, he's not even qualified to carry his shoes," someone nearby scoffed, mentioning his name.

From then on, that person's name left a deep impression on me. In later, in grand settings, I often heard people say things like, "Compared to him, he's not even qualified to carry his shoes."

Could it be that he really is my father?

All afternoon, that name kept echoing in my mind. I just couldn't understand why An Yao wouldn't tell me it was him. She was hiding something from me.

"Brother Xi, something terrible has happened! Hurricane and Lu Zhicheng have been poisoned!" Suddenly, Young Master Bao rushed in from outside in a panic.

"What!?" Upon hearing Young Master Bao's words, An Yao and I immediately stood up.

As we walked out of the classroom, Young Master Bao immediately said to me, "Damn it, I don't even know what happened. Hurricane, Lu Zhicheng, and I were smoking together. Suddenly, two of them turned blue. Holy crap, that's terrifying! We didn't dare drink a drop of water or eat anything else today. This is infuriating! Just one puff of smoke and we're already getting poisoned!"

Hearing Young Master Bao's words, An Yao and I hurried towards the washroom. Upon entering, we saw a group of thugs surrounding them, while Lu Zhicheng and Hurricane had turned deep blue and were unconscious with their eyes closed.

"Zhicheng, Hurricane!" My heart skipped a beat, and my brows furrowed.

"Have you three been together all this time?" An Yao asked Lu Zhicheng, her eyes cold as she looked at them.

"Yeah, the three of us came over for a smoke as soon as get out of class was over, and then we chatted. I told them that a new hot spring resort had opened in the east of the city, and their faces turned blue as they laughed. Could it be that we've been poisoned by something that prevents us from laughing?" Young Master Bao exclaimed in surprise.

"Impossible, what poison in this world can't make you laugh?" An Yao looked at him irritably, but admired his imagination.

"Then, give me a smile?" Young Master Bao asked.

"..." After hearing Lu Zhicheng's words, An Yao forced a smile.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Young Master Bao asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I was about to ask you the same thing, why weren't you poisoned?" An Yao asked.

"Me? I guess it's because I have the protagonist's halo..." Young Master Bao thought for a moment and said.

After hearing Young Master Bao's words, An Yao coldly looked at him and took a deep breath. Then she squatted down and felt Lu Zhicheng and Hurricane's pulses, and then checked their eyelids.

"Sister, can you tell what kind of poison they've been given?" I asked.

“I can’t tell. This must be the latest poison Wang Huan has concocted. I can’t tell what kind of poison they’ve been given, or how they were poisoned,” An Yao said.

"An Yao, Wang Xi, my Xia'er has also been poisoned!" Suddenly, Xi'er walked in from outside.

Seeing Xi'er's pale face, An Yao and I were shocked once again. We quickly went to Xi'er's classroom and saw that Xia'er had indeed been poisoned like them, and all of them had been poisoned by the same poison. After being poisoned, her whole body turned blue.

Seeing that Xia'er had already fainted, Young Master Bao turned pale with fright. "Damn it, besides An Yao, Xi'er, and Wang Xi, all the unimportant people have been poisoned. It looks like I'm next. Oh crap, I don't want to be poisoned..."

"Don't worry, you're the least important person. Wang Huan won't poison you." An Yao glared fiercely at Young Master Bao.

"Impossible! I'm the top dog at our school! Even though I don't know martial arts, I'm still very important!" Young Master Bao said angrily.

"Stop arguing, let's save them first," I said.

"Hmm." After hearing my words, An Yao gently helped Xia'er up.

With Xia'er by our side, we asked someone to help us lift Lu Zhicheng and Hurricane up. As we walked towards the exit of the teaching building, my phone suddenly rang.

"Heh, look behind you..." A cold voice came from the phone.

Chapter 125 The Decisive Battle with Wang Huan

The sound sent chills down my spine. It gave me a creepy feeling. A cold wind swept down my back, and I took a deep breath and slowly turned around. When I saw what was before me, I couldn't help but grip the phone so tightly that it clicked.

An Yao, her body also turned blue...

Not only An Yao, but several other thugs who helped us lift people also turned blue. An Yao, completely unaware, looked at me brightly and asked, "Brother, what happened to you?"

At that moment, my face turned deathly pale. I stared intently at An Yao, and I saw her frown and raise her small hand.

When she saw the color on her hands, I was already about to go over and help her up. An Yao immediately dodged away, saying, "Don't touch me!"

"Little sister, you've been poisoned!" I said through gritted teeth.

"I finally know how they got poisoned. It's a contact poison; as long as the poison comes into contact with the skin, it will cause poisoning. They're like me; we're all poisoned. Don't touch me, don't worry about me, or you'll get poisoned too."

Lu Zhicheng, Hurricane, and Xia'er were all poisoned. By this time, An Yao was also poisoned. The only ones left unpoisoned were me, Xi'er, and Young Master Bao. If Young Master Bao hadn't had an arm in a sling and couldn't easily support others, he would have been poisoned too.

If I have a Achilles' heel, it's my brothers, my family, and my friends. Whether it's Young Master Bao, Xi'er, or An Yao, or Zhang Xuan, they are not only my friends and brothers, but also like family. And my sister, she is my family, but in my heart, I cherish her as if she were my lover.
