Lu Xiaohang shrugged when Xia Xibei questioned him, “It’s simple.”

“Yea?”

“Don’t give them a chance to play dirty tricks.”

Xia Xibei’s face fell once again, “Is that it?”

“Yes, that’s it,” Lu Xiaohang nodded, looking serious. “Don’t worry. Even if they’re up to something, they wouldn’t dare to be too blatant.

“It’s a lawful society. There may be some loopholes from time to time, but they aren’t emperors who can just do what they want.”

Lu Xiaohang was very serious.

“Besides, you people aren’t children who can’t fight back. There’s no need to be afraid of them if you’re powerful enough.”

“Is it that simple?”

Xia Xibei was exasperated.

“Simple for you, of course,” Lu Xiaohang offered a compliment. “I believe you can do it. You have what it takes!”

He wasn’t talking nonsense though. Xia Xibei was exceptional indeed.

She might be young, but she was capable of remarkable things.

He had seen Liu Manhong getting injured before, but he couldn’t help but notice that her speed of recovery was so fast.

Her healing ability was so spectacular that people would come for her like ants to a sugar cube. Besides, no one would dare displease her.

“If you show your true strength, in fact, no one would dare to mess around with you.” Lu Xiaohang advised, “I have no idea where you learned your skills from, but you can protect your friend if you’re capable enough.”

Xia Xibei shot a glance at him, but it dawned on her that he was right indeed.

It was easy for anyone to do something bad in society these days, but it was not without restrictions.

As long as they kept their guards up, they wouldn’t have the guts to inflict any direct harm.

“Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare to use common tricks.” Lu Xiaohang nodded, “I’ll also handle things from my end. The only thing is that your friend has to protect herself well, and not let anyone take advantage of these circumstances.”

He then smiled, “In fact, things will be easier if you could find someone to back you up.”

“Someone to back me up?”

“Yeah, someone more powerful than they are, to keep them at bay,” Lu Xiaohang bantered. “The Qi family, for instance.”

The Qis made up the most powerful family at the moment. Even though the prestigious families were more or less the same, people wouldn’t usually confront them.

“The Qi family?”

“Yeah, aren’t you quite close with Qi Zhi’an?” Lu Xiaohang nodded. “If people know that you’re friends, they wouldn’t dare mess around.”

Xia Xibei rolled her eyes at him and ignored the suggestion.

“You haven’t said anything about the family!”

She got the subject back on the right track.

“Han is their surname.”

Lu Xiaohang told the whole story truthfully.

Although he didn’t mean to say it, it was indeed related to him.

If it weren’t for him, the Han family wouldn’t have investigated Xia Xibei and found out about her friend.

As the fuse that started the spark, he’d better cooperate well, or he might get thrown out by Liu Manhong.

“Han?”

“Right,” Lu Xiaohang nodded. “Their last name is Han, and they’ve always walked the crooked path. Admittedly, it’s been useful indeed. To this day, they keep getting better.”

The Han family was doing really well compared to the rest of the families, who seemed to be declining day by day.

They were all jealous, but it was no one’s fault that they didn’t have excellent children.

There was no future for families without excellent offspring.
