Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

"Master Shao, you have quite the air of authority!"

Xiao Yan's voice, like ice shattering in a frozen pool, pierced through the bloody stench of the streets, striking the teahouse with a chilling force:

"Committing violence in the street, humiliating women and children, and seizing shops—do you even have any respect for the law?"

Shao Linshen slowly wiped his fingertips with a silk handkerchief, as if they were stained with some filth, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth:

"Lord Xiao's words are biased. These two men forcibly occupied the shops owned by my Shao family, which is an act of theft. I merely punished them slightly and did not harm their lives. What crime have they committed?"

"It's rather ridiculous that you drew such a conclusion without even knowing the facts."

He tapped his fingertips lightly on the table as he spoke, his eyes brimming with contempt.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed even more.

But at this moment, all his attention was focused on Gu Ruxin on the ground.

The glaring bloodstain beneath her was winding its way along the lines of the bluestone slab. Half of her cheek was swollen and bruised, and there was still blood on the corner of her lips. Even her breathing was trembling with pain.

Heartache overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and his aura was so cold it could almost freeze the air.

He was too lazy to continue the pretense with Shaolin, and his gaze swept over the thugs present like a sharp sword.

Those people were already wary of his status as an official of the imperial court, and when he swept his gaze over them, they were even more frightened and retreated, actually making way for him.

Xiao Yan strode to Gu Ruxin's side, and was about to bend down to pick her up when she pushed his wrist away with all her might.

"You, surnamed Xiao, let her go!"

Seeing this, Shao Jingcheng, who was lying on the ground, was already jealous because of the appearance of his love rival. Seeing his own disheveled appearance covered in blood, he felt even more humiliated and immediately roared:

"Xiao Yan, how dare you show your face in front of Ru Xin? Get out of here! We don't need your fake kindness!"

"A piece of trash who can't even protect his own woman dares to talk to me?"

Overwhelmed by both old and new grudges, Xiao Yan saw that he still dared to bark like a dog and kicked him in the chest, yelling, "Get lost!"

With a muffled thud, Shao Jingcheng was kicked so hard that he bent over, spitting blood onto the bluestone slab. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Jingcheng!"

Ignoring the excruciating pain in her lower abdomen, Gu Ruxin struggled to crawl in front of Shao Jingcheng, spreading her arms to shield him beneath her. She stubbornly looked up at Xiao Yan, her eyes blazing with overwhelming hatred.

"Xiao Yan, how far are you going to destroy me before you're satisfied? Do you want me to die in front of you before you're satisfied?"

Xiao Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart from the hatred in her eyes, causing him to stagger back half a step. His throat tightened, but he remained defiant:

"Gu Ruxin, don't be ungrateful! If I hadn't arrived in time, you would be dead by now!"

"If you hadn't ruined my wedding with Jingcheng, how could we have ended up in this state?"

Gu Ruxin's voice trembled with pain and anger, each word like a poisoned knife:

"We've become like this all because of you!"

She caught a glimpse of her son timidly moving towards her, his little hand about to touch the hem of her clothes, but she pushed him away cruelly: "Don't come any closer!"

The child was pushed backward, staggering and hitting his bottom on the stone slab. He cried out in pain, rubbing his eyes with his little hands, tears streaming down his face.

"Mother...why did you push me? Didn't you used to love Nianyu the most?"

He pouted and took half a step forward, but was stopped in place by Gu Ruxin's cold and sharp gaze. He could only sob and look at her, his small body trembling uncontrollably.

But the child's appearance did not elicit any love or pity from Gu Ruxin, only causing her greater distress.

Belated affection is cheaper than grass.

Since they are so obsessed with Gu Huixin, they should go find her instead of bothering themselves.

Gu Ruxin suppressed the bitterness in her heart and was about to grit her teeth and drag Shao Jingcheng toward the clinic when her body was suddenly lifted into the air.

"Let me go! I don't need your fake kindness!"

Gu Ruxin struggled desperately, the cramping pain in her lower abdomen causing cold sweat to pour down her forehead and her vision to blur.

"Listen to me, your health is the most important thing right now."

Xiao Yan held her tightly, his arms so strong that she couldn't break free, but his voice softened unconsciously:

"If you have any complaints, you can accept any punishment as you please once you're better."

Gu Ruxin was unable to resist. The pain in her abdomen made her tremble all over. Thinking of the unborn child, she finally let her arms fall limply.

Seeing her compromise, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a complicated emotion. He assumed that she was only giving in for the sake of Shao Jingcheng's child, and his face grew even more gloomy.

He turned to leave, carrying Gu Ruxin in his arms. Before leaving, his gaze swept over the trembling thugs around him, finally settling on Shao Linshen, his words as sharp as iron:

"Master Shao, regardless of whether these two are guilty or not, even if they have made a mistake, it should be left to the government to decide."

But you have set up your own torture chamber and disregarded human life. I, Xiao, will report this matter to the imperial court and seek justice for them!

Anyone who dares to touch the people he protects will be held accountable.

As Shao Linshen watched him leave after uttering those harsh words, a sinister smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.

Want to leave? Not so easy. He wouldn't do something as foolish as letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Do you still dream of climbing to a high position by stepping on the corpses of the Shao clan, just like in your previous life? That's wishful thinking!

The teacup in his hand suddenly slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground with a loud clatter.

In an instant, the masked men hidden in the street corners and alleys appeared, their bows already fully drawn, and dozens of arrows shot towards Xiao Yan and Gu Ruxin with a sharp whistling sound!
