Chapter 576: Those who want to slaughter me are many, and he, the Li Family

"Whose people were those just now?" An Yinan asked.

Chen Xun walked to the opposite side of her, his dagger unconsciously spinning in his hand, looking dazzling and eye-catching, yet this also represented the lack of calm in his heart.

On normal days, he would absolutely never reveal his weapon in front of her.

But his unconscious action meant that the situation was not simple.

"People from the Li Family," Chen Xun said.

The Li Family...

Among the Six Great Families of City, this Li Family was one of them.

There are many people with the surname Li, but there is only one Li Family that dares to call itself by that name.

"What do you mean?" An Yinan asked.

"That person just now was scared off by me; they might be quiet for a short time, but... it won't last long."

Since this person has come, they must be harboring huge ambitions.

Whether it is the real Li Family, or a Li Family that is a symbol of power representing some other faction, it doesn't matter.

They are now in a dilemma.

A crossroads.

Or rather, they have no right to choose.

"No matter who comes, I will not agree," An Yinan said, appearing relatively indifferent.

Chen Xun was more concerned and thus anxious; what he did not know was that when Nan Nan laid out her plan, she had already anticipated this day. She was not worried about anyone right now, only the two children.

The children are still young, Yun Shu has to take care of the two children, and her martial arts are not yet up to par; it seems more people need to be arranged over at the residential complex.

If that really doesn't work...

For the safety of the two children, they must be sent back to Beijing.

"I know," Chen Xun nodded.

How could he not know Nan Nan's temperament?

If others are three parts polite to her, she will return five parts.

If others threaten her three parts, she will return ten parts.

But this is City, which is exactly why he is worried; the mission is not over, and they cannot leave.

Then there is only one way: face them head-on.

"It's fine, let's just wait and see for now. It's not the end yet, who knows what the outcome will be?" An Yinan was indifferent.

"Li Zai, go outside and call those three people in," An Yinan instructed.

Li Zai's face turned somewhat pale. He had always known that the Madam's identity was special, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people protecting her, but to be able to face even the Li Family head-on...

That is more than just a special identity.

Lu Xiaoli froze for a moment, and just as he was about to turn back, a clear, elegant woman's voice asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Lu Xiaoli turned back and looked at the Madam, "Madam, why would you not agree?"

That is the Li Family!

If the people of the Li Family shake, who knows how many people in this City would die.

Thinking of the way Brother Chen rejected the person just now, I'm afraid this matter will not end well.

An Yinan smiled, "If I agree to one of the Six Great Families, do you believe that by the next day, news of my assassination will spread throughout all of City?"

"How could that be?" Lu Xiaoli was a bit confused, but he had seen a lot these days, and his thinking had become much more flexible.

He had even dabbled a little in fields he had never touched before.

He clearly knew that the Madam was right.

The other five of the Six Great Families would not want one family to dominate.

There were no uncertain factors before, but now one has appeared, and the Li Family has made the first move.

Then...

The other five families... joining forces to slaughter one person, I'm afraid not even a ripple would be raised in this vast City.

"Since you are here, be at peace with it."

"There are many who want to slaughter me, and he, the Li Family..."

"Heh! They aren't worthy." From beginning to end, An Yinan's expression remained faint.

Lu Xiaoli was a bit worried; as he walked out, his arm bumped into the door, and the intense pain brought him back to his senses.

"Have you... ever thought about leaving?" Just at this moment, a question from An Yinan was thrown directly at him.

At a time like this, isn't it the best moment to see a person's character?

Lu Xiaoli turned back, "I don't know the Li Family, I don't know the Six Great Families, I only know that the person who pulled me out of the sea of misery is the Madam!"

The young man clenched his fists, his neck held high, his whole person carrying an unyielding stance.

"Good." An Yinan sat on the sofa without even turning around, and Lu Xiaoli did not see the warmth that appeared at the corners of her mouth, nor her eyes curving slightly.

Her expression was very faint; only Chen Xun, who was in front of her, saw it all.

In a short while, Lu Xiaoli brought in the three people. This was the first time the three of them had entered the Small Hall; both the layout and the fresh scent inside made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

They were rough men, accustomed to living anywhere.

Their stench and their dirty, messy clothes seemed completely out of place in this elegant Small Hall.

"Sit," An Yinan raised her hand and pointed to the seat opposite.

The three looked at each other and then sat down.

Lu Xiaoli stood behind An Yinan, and beside An Yinan were Chen Xun and Yun Shu.

Yun Mo had been sent out to investigate the situation of the Li Family.

"Do you have any other thoughts about the future?" An Yinan's first question left the three of them stunned.

They had anticipated many other questions, but no one had ever asked them about the future.

The future...

It is too far away.

They are just monks hitting the bell for as long as they are in the monastery.

Surviving today, and dying in some sewer tomorrow, is not an unusual thing.

In the City, who dares to think about the future?

"Madam, we don't even know if we can survive," Duyanlong said with a chuckle. "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for you, Madam, I might have been dead long ago, and my corpse might have already rotted away. Haha, how could I think about the future?"

"For people like us who live day to day, the future is too far off; we don't think about it, don't dare to think about it, and can't think about it."

An Yinan looked at him; that single eye was very striking, even giving people a strange feeling when they saw it.

She also hadn't expected that this man, who looked like a venomous snake, would actually say such things.

In a world of eternal prosperity, someone who can keep to themselves is, after all, someone to be looked at with high regard.

"It will all get better." An Yinan only said these four words, offering no guarantees and no expectations.

For people like them who only want to stay alive, that was too hollow.

"And you?" She looked toward Zhang Pangzi.

Zhang Pangzi was smooth in his dealings; one could say he spoke human words to humans and ghost words to ghosts.

Yet, because of one sentence from Duyanlong, he hadn't sold his stocks even though he had been starving for so many days.

Anyone who is ruthless to themselves is a ruthless character.

"You..." An Yinan's impression of this young man was not very deep; after a few contacts, she had no particular impression of him.

She only knew he was a young man who knew how to handle things.

"My name is Zhang He. I used to be a low-level clerk, but later I was laid off without any compensation and was kicked straight out of the company," Zhang He said with a bitter smile.

"Madam, I just want to ask if I can stay by your side, even if it's just to run errands," Zhang He said.

He...

Was certainly honest enough.
