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

Chapter 173 is just reporting someone for wrongdoing.
"You..." Manager Zheng didn't expect that the slap he swung out would be caught. He subconsciously tried to pull his hand back, but found that it wouldn't budge.

Enraged, he raised his other hand to slap Du Anrao across the face.

Naturally, he was detained again.

"Can't you speak properly and reason with people? You have to resort to violence, don't you?"

Du Anrao already had a bad impression of this person, and seeing him attack again and again, he became really angry.

With a dark expression, he twisted the man's hands, and as the man screamed in pain, he kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying two zhang away.

It wasn't until Manager Zheng landed with a thud and let out a pig-like scream that everyone in the store came to their senses.

Jiang Younian's eyes widened in disbelief. Where did this girl with superhuman strength come from? Was she really his petite, delicate, and frail little cousin?

Before we left, my parents and older brother repeatedly told him to protect his younger sister. But who's protecting whom here?!

Mr. Sun and the others did not expect that Manager Zheng would be beaten instead of hitting someone. They were stunned for a while before screaming and running towards Manager Zheng.

Store Manager Zheng's hands were dislocated by Du Anrao's twisting motion, and his stomach was in excruciating pain.

Even so, with his wife's help, he stood up, his face grim, and dialed a phone: "Brother Ma, I was beaten up by a little bitch, at..."

Before he could finish speaking, his phone was snatched away, followed by a dozen or so bodyguards in black.

"What...what's going on?"

The customers in the store were all frightened by the menacing group of bodyguards and huddled together in twos and threes.

Jiang Younian didn't have time to think and once again stood in front of the two girls.

Du Anrao remained calm, looking at the bodyguards from afar, and inexplicably felt that these people looked somewhat familiar.

The black-clad bodyguard who had snatched Manager Zheng ignored Manager Zheng's fierce shouts and sneered as he said to the man yelling on the other end of the phone, "Feng Xiaoma, you're something else! Your men actually dared to lay a hand on our young lady."

The person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment before speaking again.

Store Manager Zheng was close by, but could only vaguely hear what sounded like the other person begging for mercy. His heart skipped a beat, and he stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him in fear: "You...who are you?"

The bodyguard in black hung up the phone, tossed it back to him, and then quickly ran to Du Anrao and the others, respectfully asking, "Miss, are you alright?"

"Grandpa sent you to follow me?" Du Anrao raised an eyebrow; she recognized him as he got closer.

This man was one of the bodyguards who followed Amin that day, accompanying Du Desheng and her to Liujia Village to rescue Grandma Qin. The identities of the dozen or so bodyguards in black in front of him were self-evident.

"Ninth Master and the Old Madam were worried about the Eldest Miss coming out alone, so they asked us to protect her secretly."

Since it's a covert protection, there's no need for them to show their faces.

But since someone just tried to make a move against Du Anrao, it would be unreasonable for them not to step in.

The bodyguard glanced at Du Anrao, a little worried that she might be angry because they were following her.

Du Anrao didn't care about that. After all, his grandparents meant well. After hearing his explanation, he only asked, "What should I call you?" "Just call me Awen, Miss."

"Uncle Wen, let me try to handle this myself first. If I can't, then you can tell Grandpa, okay?"

"Of course. Just let me know if you need anything."

Du Anrao nodded, sighed, and dialed Qiu Jichen's number again, muttering to himself as he dialed.

[Qiu Jichen, your future wife got beaten up, are you coming? If not, you'll be in for a nightmare of chasing after her!]

Jiang Younian: "!!!"

Wife? Who? Could it be my little cousin? And who is this Qiu Jichen? How dare he covet my little cousin? He's asking for trouble!
The second cousin, whose "cabbage-protecting radar" had been activated, immediately became extremely alert. However, when he turned his head, he noticed that the person Du Anrao was staring at while on the phone seemed to be the same shop assistant who had just been assaulted.

So, this "wife" refers to...

At that time, Qiu Jichen, the general manager of a certain group who had long been labeled as love-struck by Du Anrao, finally took advantage of the incident involving Du Anrao's second cousin's wife to purge the company of its internal parasites and get rid of a group of relatives and elders who had been sitting on their positions for years, not doing any work, and always dragging the company down, and who relied on their seniority.

Life was incredibly comfortable, and even business trips were blessed with good fortune, going unbelievably smoothly.

Perhaps even the heavens couldn't bear to see him so smug, for Du Anrao called him right after he finished negotiating the cooperation.

When Qiu Jichen received the call, he was a little excited: "Miss Du, what brings you to call me? I haven't properly thanked you for what happened with your sister-in-law last time. If it weren't for Miss Du and your sister-in-law providing this opportunity, I don't know how much effort and time I would have had to spend to find these good-for-nothings and kick them out of the company."

Qiu Jichen's tone became unmistakably lighthearted as he spoke: "Is Miss Du still in S City? I might be going to S City on a business trip next week. I wonder if Miss Du will have time then? I would like to invite you to a meal to express my gratitude."

"No need for dinner. I'm bothering you today mainly because I wanted to ask about the jewelry set your mother gave me. There was a discount card from your jewelry store underneath it. Are there any restrictions on the use of this card? For example, can it only be used at a specific store in a certain shopping mall in J City, and not anywhere else?"

Qiu Jichen was stunned for a moment before saying, "No, no, the discount card my mother gave you can be used at every franchise store in major shopping malls across the country."

"Including City B?"

"Of course." Qiu Jichen was able to become the general manager not just because of his status as the young master of the group.

Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, he immediately realized something was wrong and even had a bad feeling.

"Are you in City B right now? I happen to be in City B discussing a collaboration as well. Did something happen at one of our group's franchise stores? Give me the address, and I'll come over right away."

Upon learning that Qiu Jichen was in City B, Du Anrao raised an eyebrow and subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Kexin.

"It's nothing major. My cousin and I just decided to go shopping today and happened to pass by your store, so we went in and bought some things as gifts. When we were paying, I remembered the card your mom gave me, so I asked the clerk if we could use it."

"The clerk said it wouldn't work?"

"The clerk said it was okay, but the store manager said I was a fraud and that my discount card was fake. The clerk who spoke up for me got slapped and fired. Oh, and he even tried to hit me."

[Although I didn't hit him and even beat him up, that's not the point. Hehe, it's just tattling, anyone can do that, right? Hehehe~~~]

Jiang Younian: Pfft...
