After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor Chapter 401 - 402: I Will Protect Myself

When Qin Mobai left, holding Lou Xi’s hand, the reporters were still trying to ask nurous questions, but they were escorted away by bodyguards, making it impossible for the dia to get close.

Outside the conference hall, Lou Xi’s heart was still pounding. Hadn’t she faced such situations before? Yet thinking back on it still brought a sense of lingering fear.

"Cousin—" Suddenly, a voice cut in, disrupting the atmosphere.

Qin Mobai turned to see Mi Beier approaching quickly, his brows slightly furrowed, as he did not want to see her here.

The bodyguards were blocking the reporters up front, leaving only the three of them here.

"Cousin, why did you acquire our family’s company? Why didn’t you even give us a heads-up?" Mi Beier had only learned of the major incident at ho this morning, that the entire Mi Family company had been acquired. Right as the stock market opened this morning, the Mi Family’s stock price plumted to the daily limit within half an hour. Before it bottod out, soone had bought nearly half of the shares.

Now, the Mi Family has changed hands, and the buyer is none other than Qin Mobai!

After learning this news, Mi Beier rushed to find Qin Mobai, hoping that considering their many years of friendship, Qin Mobai would show rcy to the Mi Family.

"This is already lenient. If you cause further trouble, I will make sure your Mi Family disappears completely in Nancheng." Qin Mobai spoke, his tone filled with cold severity.

This was a Qin Mobai that Mi Beier had never seen before, and it scared her enough to take two steps back.

"Cou...cousin, you must... be blinded by this woman! You weren’t like this before!"

Bringing up Lou Xi only made it worse, as Qin Mobai emitted an aura of chilling nace from within, "You should know the consequences of saying anything against her!"

Frightened by Qin Mobai’s threat, Mi Beier burst into tears. Annoyed by her crying, Qin Mobai took Lou Xi’s hand and left.

Back in the car, Lou Xi finally asked, "Why were you so harsh to Mi Beier?"

Watching the girl cry so miserably, Lou Xi felt that Qin Mobai had gone a bit overboard as her cousin.

Besides...

"Do you feel sorry for Mi Beier?" Qin Mobai asked indifferently.

"She likes you, right? That ans she has good taste, since we both like the sa man. She was indeed crying quite sadly just now. Don’t ruin relationships with your relatives because of , I’d feel guilty."

Qin Mobai raised the partition between the front and back seats, so the people in the front couldn’t hear their conversation.

"Rember your car accident yesterday?"

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with... no way?" Lou Xi realized sothing didn’t add up as she spoke, wondering if Qin Mobai was linking two separate events.

"I thought she wouldn’t either. The girl has been spoiled, and her family is partly to bla. Consider it a lesson for them. It’s a warning to everyone—anyone who dares to harm you will face even worse consequences."

It turned out that the car accident was orchestrated by Mi Beier! She couldn’t believe that a girl who seed so innocent and just a bit spoiled would do sothing like that!

All sympathy evaporated instantly, and Lou Xi couldn’t bring herself to defend soone like that.

She placed her hand in Qin Mobai’s, "Young Master Qin, maybe I’ve been too fragile, needing you to protect always. Don’t worry, I will grow stronger. I will protect myself!"

Qin Mobai wrapped an arm around Lou Xi’s waist and said, "If you’re protecting yourself, then what’s my role?"
