The other side also fired at the warehouse entrance, and a fierce battle ensued. Jiang Meng, Yu CaiCai, and Zhou Zhou were so scared they huddled together, tightly covering their ears.

When the three people guarding the outside stopped, they saw that there was no one at the warehouse door.

Just when the three were utterly confused, they suddenly heard a whooshing sound from behind, followed by two "bang" sounds. Qiao Qiqi, holding two bricks, directly knocked two of them out!

The two didn’t even get the chance to groan before they fell unconscious.

Then, a hard object pressed against the third person’s waist, as Qiao Qiqi coldly said, "Don’t move, or you’ll die!"

How would that person dare to move?

...

Five minutes later, Jiang Meng, Yu CaiCai, and Zhou Zhou helped tie all those people together. Qiao Qiqi instructed Jiang Meng to call the police. In less than half an hour, the police came and took them all away.

Qiao Qiqi drove the three girls who gave statements back to school. On the way, the three were very silent.

"I’m sorry, this whole thing was my fault." Qiao Qiqi knew the ordeal started because of her. Those people were after her, and Jiang Meng and the others got caught in the crossfire.

"It’s unnecessary to apologize; you can’t be blamed for this. It was those people who were too evil." Jiang Meng waved her hand.

"Qiqi, you’re truly amazing. I want to learn martial arts too, so I won’t be afraid the next time I encounter bad people." Yu CaiCai suddenly exclaimed in excitement.

"Really, you can’t be blamed for this. Those bad people were so vile to even target us like this. You must be careful." Zhou Zhou looked at her with concern.

"Don’t worry. If they could move against me, they wouldn’t be using you three as bait. You all don’t have to worry; I’ll arrange for someone to protect you during this time." Qiao Qiqi comforted them.

The three were indeed scared, but hearing her assurance, they felt relieved.

After sending the three back to the dormitory, fearing they might still be afraid, Qiao Qiqi decided to stay in the dormitory tonight as well.

...

When Qiao Qiqi returned to the Rong family, the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Starting from outside, the servants all had a hesitant look when they saw her.

Since nobody seemed willing to tell her, she didn’t press further. It wasn’t until she entered the house that she understood what was going on.

Turns out, her uncle Rong Shu had found her a new aunt!

The new aunt was only twenty-eight years old!

Younger than Rong Yuan by one year!

And she was a popular celebrity.

Qiao Qiqi looked at her brothers’ dark expressions and felt quite sympathetic.

Indeed, one couldn’t rely on such irresponsible people.

The new aunt’s name was Liu Yihong, an actress whose acting was exceptionally eye-burning and was surrounded by scandals, taking the controversial fame route.

Rong Lening’s face showed no expression, perhaps even a bit numb, because she felt her brother’s private life was none of her business, and her relationship with her brother wasn’t exactly close. So whoever he wanted to marry, it didn’t concern her.

Elder Rong didn’t look pleased at all either. He couldn’t oppose it anymore since his son had already registered the marriage; things had moved quickly!

However, he had already divided the Rong family’s fortune and set up a will. His son only had dividends, no shares, but the son had his own lucrative enterprises. Being old now, Elder Rong couldn’t manage much anymore. His son could do as he pleased.

"I still have matters to attend to at the company, I’m heading to work." Rong Yuan stood up, his face dark as could be, clearly unhappy.

Who could suddenly accept having a mother younger than themselves, right?
