Another Cross-Space-Time Elbow Strike Naturally Evil Little Brat of the Eastern Family, Madam, I'll Be Right There

“Let’s talk here.” Shen Qinghan spoke in a calm tone.

That was the final decision the three of them had reached after elbowing one another.

The dorm manager: “……”

“All right, Young Miss. Here’s what happened. About half an hour ago, this old woman was at home admiring the Family Head’s portrait and reputation when, all of a sudden, my right eyelid started twitching…”

Shen Qinghan: “……”

Dongfang Zhixia: “……”

Lin Baizhi: “……”

Wasn’t that buildup getting a little too long?

Fortunately, after hearing the first few sentences, Shen Qinghan immediately realized something was off and interrupted, cutting short the unnecessary bonus buffs the other woman was piling on.

That was the older generation for you. They never passed up an opportunity to show off. Of course, while showing off, they also couldn’t afford to delay the actual business—or it would have the opposite effect.

This trick worked especially well on Madam. If you kept blowing your own horn, Madam would get more and more pleased until she began letting out an evil “heh heh heh” laugh.

As for Shen Qinghan…

“Enough. If you keep spouting this irrelevant nonsense, don’t show your face in front of me again.” Shen Qinghan frowned, her tone carrying a hint of impatience.

The dorm manager was still vividly describing how she had sensed that something was wrong, how she had felt it in her heart, and how she had been worried about her Young Miss. Then, struck by a bolt from the blue, she froze on the spot.

In less than half a second, she immediately demonstrated what it meant to change faces!

“Young Miss, here’s what happened. When this old woman came over, I heard this man shouting and making a racket. I was worried he would disturb your peace, so I took the liberty of…”

This time, she finally got to the point. There was no embellishment whatsoever—just concise and efficient words.

In less than a minute, she clearly explained everything that had happened before coming here. While she was at it, she also pulled out the information about the Chen family that she had previously ordered the people under her to collect.

“Young Miss, here are the documents. Please take a look.” The dorm manager raised her eyebrows, wearing an ingratiating expression.

Here she goes again…

There was really no way to control this. Anyone in the Du family with enough seniority would want to put on a good show whenever they saw their Young Miss.

Their Young Miss was bound to take over the family’s businesses sooner or later. And now, the Family Head’s side had already settled the internal structure; there was basically no chance of changing it.

If they wanted to rise any higher, they could only curry favor with the Young Miss. But unfortunately…

Their Young Miss was a problem child. Born with an aloof personality, she had never given the people around her an opportunity to ingratiate themselves with her.

More importantly, the Young Miss had never asked anyone for help. Anything she could do herself, she absolutely refused to leave to others. Naturally, that left those below her with even fewer chances to show off.

It was only after meeting Ye Cheng that their Young Miss’s personality had changed to some extent. There were quite a few things she now needed people like them to handle.

To sum it up…

A golden opportunity—AT MAXIMUM VOLUME!!!

Her naturally overwhelming charisma, combined with the Family Head and the Young Miss—everything had been decided from the moment the Young Miss was born. The inheritance of this succubus effect was inevitable.

As Madam would put it…

“For the glory of the Du family!!!”

The moment the documents were handed to Shen Qinghan, a hand reached over from beside her and snatched them away.

The dorm manager: “？？？”

What the hell…

After seeing that it was Dongfang Zhixia, the dorm supervisor found it difficult to lose her temper. After all… the Du family and the Dongfang family had a fairly good relationship. What was more, the Shen family represented by their Mistress had an even closer relationship with the Dongfang family—so close it was almost ridiculous.

No matter which angle she looked at it from, she couldn’t show any hostility…

“Smack!”

“Ow… Shen Qinghan, what are you doing?!”

Dongfang Zhixia took a solid smack. The back of the fair, smooth hand she had just reached out to snatch the documents now bore a very distinct handprint.

Shen Qinghan had hit her.

Shen Qinghan remained perfectly calm. “Who told you to take my things?”

Dongfang Zhixia: “…”

“How is that ‘taking’? Does it have your name written on it?”

She had no argument, but plenty of confidence.

“It does! Of course it does!”

Before Shen Qinghan could say anything, the dorm supervisor, who had been lying in wait for quite some time, seemed to have finally found her chance to shine. She hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at a line of tiny writing on the back.

It bore the Du family’s insignia, proving that it had been printed by the Du family’s logistics department…

Dongfang Zhixia: “???”

What the hell was this?!

She had never seen anyone handle things with such ostentation. Even a single sheet of paper had to carry their family watermark and emblem. Were they afraid people wouldn’t recognize it otherwise?

The story behind it was a long one. This watermarking practice hadn’t existed before. After all, documents were confidential, and leaks could cause considerable trouble.

Not to mention that the documents now carried a mark representing their family… But one day, the wise Madam noticed this “shortcoming” and had it added.

“Mm, it looks much better this way!” Madam said with satisfaction as she admired the emblem on the paper.

It wasn’t just a sheet of paper—even if a coin fell to the ground, some part of it belonged to their old Du family, and it had to be marked. Marked thoroughly, too!

Who would have thought it would come in handy at a time like this…

A time-and-space elbow strike from Madam!

“You naturally evil little brat from the Dongfang family—Madam is going to personally put an end to you right here!”

“I took it. So what?” Dongfang Zhixia simply stuck out her neck and started acting shamelessly. Actually… her family’s people had already sent the documents over too, but for some reason, documents snatched from someone else were just more satisfying to read.

Especially when they had been snatched from a certain problem child!

And besides, because of what had happened with Xiao Chun just now, Dongfang Zhixia still couldn’t get it out of her head…

What did they mean, “the Young Miss is a good person”?

Was she not a good person too? Why hadn’t Xiao Chun come to her instead?

And why hadn’t her name even been mentioned?

You bastard, just you wait! If you don’t explain this properly, you can forget about going out and fooling around ever again!

The Young Miss was no soft touch. The consequence of provoking the Young Miss was getting beaten into a reaction image—and Ye Cheng was the undisputed authority on that subject.

Ye Cheng: Damn it, the Young Miss’s punches are insanely fast. Before I can even react, her fist has already landed on my head. There’s no way to get used to it…

Out of nowhere, the Young Miss narrowed her eyes and stared for a few seconds before driving her head straight into Dongfang Zhixia, making the President pay the price for her earlier arrogance and for snatching the documents.

“Thud!”

“Hiss… Shen Qinghan!!!”

The two of them started fighting again. As for Sister Lin, she had wisely slipped away, making her way over to the Chen family and sizing them up one by one with a scrutinizing gaze.

Although this was their first real meeting, Lin Baizhi was so familiar with every person present that she could hardly have known them better. She remembered each of their faces, their names, their personalities, and every shady thing they had ever done…

Lin Baizhi had investigated all of it long ago.

In the end, her gaze settled on Chen Qiao, who lay unconscious with a battered, swollen face. Hostility surfaced in her eyes.

As for the reason… it was simple. Chen Qiao had once coveted her brother’s looks and had even tried to use underhanded means to get her beloved brother.

What a shameless bitch!

Whenever Ye Cheng was involved, Lin Baizhi became a completely different person. All kinds of crude—even filthy—language would spring to mind as she attacked her opponent without mercy.

Naturally… she kept those words to herself.

What if they slipped out and reached her beloved brother’s ears? What if he thought she had learned bad habits and become a bad woman?

That was absolutely unacceptable. She had to maintain her image at all times—the best possible image!

Lin Baizhi withdrew her gaze from Chen Qiao’s motionless body and walked straight toward the Chen family. Finally, she stopped in front of the oldest person there.

Chen Youliang’s wife.

The elderly woman’s hair was white, her cheekbones jutted sharply, and her face was etched with mean, spiteful features.

“Smack!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Baizhi slapped her across the face.

“You old corpse. If my brother can’t be found, not one of your family will live,” Lin Baizhi said without the slightest attempt to hide her words, speaking in front of the dozens of people gathered around them.

She made no effort to conceal her threat!

The old woman’s eyes first filled with astonishment, then fury. Once she realized what was happening, they turned to terror… All of it happened within the space of a single second.

Others might not have known, but as Chen Youliang’s “capable wife,” the old woman was well aware that the young girl standing before her was the daughter of the orphanage’s biggest benefactor.

She was also one of the orphanage’s former “money-losing burdens.” In a sense, the old woman had known her since childhood, back when Lin Baizhi would occasionally visit the orphanage.

Of course, she had never gone there to pay a visit. She had gone to scout for suitable “business prospects”…

Lin Baizhi had been one of them. After a series of plans and arrangements, she had become one of the orphanage’s “cash cows.”

Who could have guessed that Lin Baizhi would be so lucky? First, she encountered Ye Cheng, the most troublesome thorn in the orphanage’s side since its founding. Then, her biological father found her and took her back.

Having witnessed the orphanage’s “dark side,” the old woman had naturally feared that Lin Baizhi would return for revenge. For a long time, she had lived in constant anxiety.

Only after realizing that Lin Baizhi appeared to have no intention of seeking revenge did she finally relax. As time passed, she gradually allowed the incident—and the fear—to fade from her memory.

But now, the solid slap and the searing pain on her cheek had once again dragged her back into the terror that Lin Baizhi had once cast over her…

Her eyes were filled with pent-up fury.

Anyone else saying that could be dismissed as nothing more than street-corner abuse. But coming from Lin Baizhi, it was downright terrifying.

Not only did she genuinely have the ability to back it up, but… the look on Lin Baizhi’s face made it clear she wasn’t joking. She really intended to destroy them!

The old woman’s pupils contracted sharply, and her entire body trembled. Her eyes were filled with a deep, lingering terror.

Why?

Her brother… that crazy kid?

In an instant, the old woman was transported back to that afternoon years ago. On her way home from the orphanage, she had stepped on a banana peel, been bitten by a dog, and nearly been run over by a Dayun truck that had appeared out of nowhere…

Though she had no idea how Ye Cheng had managed it, there was no denying that, ever since he was a child, Ye Cheng had wanted to kill her entire family—including her.

Going by what Lin Baizhi was saying now… it seemed that Ye Cheng had disappeared?

Was that why they had been brought here?

Wait…

That crazy kid had disappeared, so why were they being summoned?

And why would she kill them just because they couldn’t find him?

Did that make any sense?

If Lin Baizhi had come to destroy them, then who were the two people fighting over there?

Could they have come looking for that crazy kid too?

Would they kill the Chen family even if they couldn’t find him?

The members of the Chen family: “…”

They had somehow stumbled into the plot of an urban dragon-king novel, only to become NPCs who could be sacrificed at a moment’s notice?

After taking the slap, the old woman took a while to recover before forcing a smile onto her face. “Baizhi, is there some kind of misunderstanding here? We—”

“Smack!”

“Who gave you permission to call me Baizhi? Do you think you’re worthy? Look at what you are, you revolting old hag!”

“And what do you mean, ‘misunderstanding your mother’?! Think of a way to find my brother, or go to hell! All of you too!!!”

Lin Baizhi was the very picture of a lunatic. The moment someone said the wrong thing, she suddenly flew into a rage, slapping the old woman again and again without pause.

The members of the Chen family: “!!!”

If they couldn’t find someone, they had to die?

Who?

Them?
