Chapter 5

"Boom"

After a loud thud, Du Yongqian, who had been pressing Xiao Wei to the ground, was thrown against the wall like a ball. When he struggled to stand up, half of his face was already swollen, all thanks to Su Yang's slap.

"Su Yang..."

Xiao Wei, in disbelief, muttered in a daze. Then, as if remembering something, she stood up and shielded Su Yang, "Du Yongqian, don't make things difficult for this child."

Du Yongqian was clearly stunned by Su Yang's slap, his eyes filled with stars, and he couldn't recover for a long time. It wasn't until Xiao Wei's voice reached his ears that he regained some consciousness.

"Where did this little brat come from, daring to sneak attack me? He must be tired of living."

Du Yongqian, drunk, didn't feel much pain and didn't realize why this child, who was just over ten years old, had the astonishing strength to slap him away. Anger rising, he lunged at Su Yang with a fierce momentum.

"Xiao Wei, you go rest over there. I'll handle this guy."

As Su Yang spoke, he supported Xiao Wei's waist with one hand, and with a gentle force, he smoothly placed her in a corner of the living room.

At this moment, Du Yongqian's fist was almost about to hit Su Yang's face.

"The one who's tired of living is you."

Without any spectacular movements, Su Yang casually waved his hand, and Du Yongqian was once again thrown across the room. This time, Su Yang slapped his left cheek, making both sides of his face symmetrical.

This time, Xiao Wei clearly saw Su Yang's move. While amazed by Su Yang's incredible skills, she thought of Du Yongqian's identity and couldn't help but turn pale. "Su Yang, stop fighting, please, sister begs you."

Su Yang had been thinking about breaking Du Yongqian's arms and throwing him out, but hearing Xiao Wei's plea, he was puzzled. "Women are truly strange creatures. This guy was clearly trying to force himself, and even if I had killed him, it wouldn't have been too much. Why is she pleading for him after just a couple of hits?"

In fact, Xiao Wei didn't want to stop Su Yang, but Du Yongqian's background was too powerful. Even she, let alone an orphan like Su Yang, couldn't afford to offend the Du family.

"Since sister is pleading for him, I won't ask for the interest you owe."

Su Yang smiled, took a few steps forward, and dragged the semi-unconscious Du Yongqian out of the house. "But this guy disturbed my bath, so he needs to pay a price."

Xiao Wei was clearly shocked by the series of events and didn't hear the second half of Su Yang's words. It wasn't until Su Yang dragged Du Yongqian out and returned to the living room that she recovered slightly.

"Su Yang... what did you do to him..." Xiao Wei was still a bit shaken, and her voice trembled.

"Xiao Wei, he won't die. I just gave this blind guy a taste of his own medicine."

Su Yang smiled charmingly, with a hint of childish mischief and a touch of wickedness, making it hard for Xiao Wei to associate this child with the one who had slapped Du Yongqian into unconsciousness.

Looking into Su Yang's bright, black eyes, a long-lost sense of security welled up in Xiao Wei's heart, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Su Yang couldn't stand to see women cry, especially beautiful women. It always made him feel inexplicable pain, in this life and the previous ones.

Thinking about how to comfort Xiao Wei, he was surprised when she suddenly hugged him, releasing all the pent-up pain and sorrow in her heart, sobbing uncontrollably.

Buried between two warm, soft mounds, Su Yang was a bit dazed, probably stunned by this sudden good fortune. The scent of her perfume made "Little Su Yang" start to rise.

"How old am I? This growth rate is a bit too fast!" Su Yang sighed, took a deep breath, and used the True Qi of the Vast Sky to calm his mind.

After all, taking advantage of someone in distress was never Su Yang's style.

"Everything will be fine with me here."

As Xiao Wei's tears slid down his back, Su Yang said calmly.

After a long while, Xiao Wei's sobs gradually subsided. After crying her heart out, she felt inexplicably relieved, as if the air she was breathing was fresher.

"What's wrong with me? Why did I lose control in front of a child?"

Reflecting on it, Xiao Wei couldn't find an answer, but she knew one thing: the child comforting her wasn't an ordinary orphan.

"Su Yang, tell sister the truth, what did you do just now?" Xiao Wei, gradually regaining her composure, straightened Su Yang, who was still enjoying the warmth of her embrace, with a mix of curiosity and doubt.

Being forcibly pulled away from the beautiful embrace, Su Yang was a bit depressed. He had just started to feel sleepy, and now he was interrupted. This wasn't how you treated a child!

"I've practiced martial arts, and I'm very good at it." Su Yang said honestly.

"How good?" Xiao Wei, with slightly red eyes, smiled charmingly and asked gently, almost making Su Yang want to embrace her.

"Very good."

Su Yang didn't want to waste words on this, so he casually flicked his thumb and index finger. A clear "swoosh" was heard, and a copper candlestick about five meters away was cut in half.

Seeing this, Xiao Wei covered her mouth in surprise, clearly stunned by Su Yang's incredible finger strength.

Although Xiao Wei was shocked that a child could have such astonishing combat skills, her acceptance was strong. She took a deep breath, looked at Su Yang with a tender gaze, and said, "Su Yang, you're really talented. Thanks to you, I was protected tonight, or I would have been bullied by that bad man."

Thinking about what had happened, Su Yang frowned and asked seriously, "Sister, who was that guy who bullied you?"

Xiao Wei clearly didn't want to talk about Du Yongqian and shook her head, "Let's not talk about him..."

From Xiao Wei's expression, Su Yang could feel her inner委屈 (grievance), which made him want to go out and finish Du Yongqian, who was unconscious at the elevator entrance. However, Xiao Wei's next words made him forget this thought for the moment.

"Come, you're so dirty. Sister will wash you properly..."

In the bathroom, Su Yang, suppressing his burning desire with the True Qi of the Vast Sky, was being washed by the slender, long-haired beauty. He swore to himself that he would grow up quickly.

That night, Su Yang, using the reasonable excuse that children are afraid of the dark, slept with the famous actress Xiao Wei, burying his head in her chest and falling asleep.

The next morning, Xiao Wei didn't mention sending Su Yang to the Shanghai orphanage. Instead, she prepared a hearty breakfast and watched Su Yang eat with affection.

"Su Yang, sister has to go to the set. Stay at home and be good. I only have one scene today, so I'll be back soon to keep you company, okay?"

Su Yang, thinking about going to the Citibank to retrieve the items he had stored, nodded and smiled, "Sister, don't worry. I'm a martial arts expert, so nothing will happen to me!"

Xiao Wei left her phone number on the table, instructed Su Yang to call her if anything happened, and then changed clothes and left.

Su Yang, of course, didn't stay at home. Soon after Xiao Wei left, he went out.

His destination was the Citibank headquarters on the Bund. On the way, Su Yang did something truly astonishing, running all the way and even crossing the Huangpu River tunnel, making the drivers in the tunnel realize that a person could run faster than a car.

When he was almost there, Su Yang slowed down.

Entering the Citibank headquarters, Su Yang walked up to a security guard and waved his hand, "Call your manager. I need to see him."

"You want to see our manager?"

The security guard, finding it hard to believe the words of this child, said with a mix of amusement and seriousness, "If you need to do business, just take a number and wait in line. When your number is called, go to the counter."

"My business can't be handled by them."

Su Yang frowned, took a deposit slip from the counter, and quickly wrote a combination of Arabic numerals and English letters on the back. He handed it to the guard, "Show this to the bank staff. You don't need to call the manager; he will come to see me."

Being a security guard at such a huge bank, he had seen many things. Although Su Yang's age was puzzling, his tone left no room for doubt, making the guard take it seriously.

"Even if it's a child's prank, it's just a few extra steps for me." The guard shook his head and smiled, then went upstairs and handed the paper with the combination of letters and numbers to the deputy manager on duty.

"This is from a customer downstairs..." The guard didn't mention that the "customer" was a child.

The deputy manager, a man in his thirties, took the paper and looked at it, puzzled. "What is this? I don't understand. If it's just a regular customer, tell them to go to the counter. Do your job properly."

The last sentence was clearly a bit annoyed. The guard, realizing he had overstepped, cursed himself for being meddlesome. The child downstairs was clearly just playing around, and he had seriously brought the manager to look at his gibberish.

Just as the guard was about to go downstairs to chase Su Yang away, an elderly foreigner in his sixties slowly walked upstairs, followed by two tall, sunglasses-wearing white men, who were clearly bodyguards.

"President Smith, isn't your flight at noon? Why are you here now..."
