The white-haired boy leaned back in his chair, playing with his long hair in one hand, while the other hand slowly slipped through Jieyuhua's fingers, interlocking with hers and stroking her thumb joint, looking so nonchalant.

"Yours?" Jieyuhua looked at Lingxiao with a curious gaze, his expression carrying a hint of 'aren't you going to explain?' How come he didn't know that the child had kept a crow?

Hearing Xie Yuhua's question, the boy was slightly shocked. His fingers, which were still fidgeting, paused for a moment before he laughed and said, "How could I dare! It's a real injustice. If it were mine, how could I not tell Brother Xiaohua?" After saying that, he raised his hand and kissed the hand that was clasped with his, and continued:

"I just sensed that it didn't mean me any harm, so I didn't stop it. If you really think about it, it should be considered to be on our side." After all, it had just given Cheng Xiaoli a good beating, which was a great achievement.

Thinking of this, the boy revealed a big smile without any attempt to hide it; his attitude was practically an open declaration of his dislike for Cheng Xiaoli.

Hearing the child's explanation, Jieyuhua smiled warmly.

"Sir, could you please hand over that crow to me?" A man in black, quite inappropriately, extended a hand and bowed to Ling Xiao.

Upon hearing the man in black's words, Ling Xiao, who had been smiling, immediately turned cold. He then glanced at the crow, which seemed to understand human nature. The crow tilted its head and rubbed against Ling Xiao in the direction of its feathers, as if afraid that its feathers might rub against Ling Xiao and prick him.

Even so, when the crow tried to rub against him, Ling Xiao raised his head to signal it not to get too close. The crow obeyed and immediately lowered its head to stand obediently on Ling Xiao's shoulder, not daring to make any further moves.

Seeing the crow's attitude, Ling Xiao slightly raised his eyes to look at the man in black who had reached out to him, and slowly uttered a single word: "No".

"Sir, please hand it over!" the man in black said again, reaching out his hand.

With a 'bang!', the group led by the fat man stood up and confronted the man in black.

Before the fat man and his companions could speak, the men in black calmly pulled out their guns from their pockets.

In a confined space, facing these dark creatures, even if a few people are very skilled in fighting, they would be riddled with holes.

"It seems Miss Cheng had planned this all along. But isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to use such a forceful method to deal with a crow?" Xie Yuhua smiled at Cheng Xiaoli.

Cheng Xiaoli was still tending to her wounds, and her face, which already didn't resemble Ling Xiao much, now looked nothing like him at all.

"Who dared to provoke this crow? I'll not only catch it, I'll pluck its feathers and chop it into mincemeat! And that kid, he dared to bite me and dirtied my brother's clothes, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

Cheng Xiaoli screamed wildly, switching her emotions so freely. One moment she was fiercely saying she wanted to chop him into mincemeat, the next she was looking at the clothes with regret, then her expression turned fierce again, and finally she burst into laughter as if she couldn't hold back.

Watching Cheng Xiaoli's mood swings, sometimes sunny, sometimes crazy, sometimes rainy, Ling Xiao glanced at the syringe on the table and fell into deep thought. The others also had their own guesses.

"If she's not mentally ill, then she's probably on drugs!" Wu Xie said, expressing his suspicion first.

The men in black didn't listen to what they were saying. They were Cheng Xiaoli's men, and since their employer had given the order, they naturally had to follow the employer's orders. Several of the men in black immediately tried to grab Zhuangzhuang.
