Wang Haoran averted attention from the battle, immediately scanning the people surrounding Qin Yunhan with his [X-Ray Vision].
A male waiter who served food earlier was ‘coincidentally’ headed to Qin Yunhan while holding a plate.
The plate was covered with a dark cloth, making it impossible to see what was on it.
However, Wang Haoran’s [X-Ray Vision] couldn’t be blocked that easily.
The waiter arrived at Qin Yunhan’s side, slowly reaching out to the dark cloth on the dinner plate.
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t had enough time.
Wang Haoran picked up a wine bottle and threw it as fast as lightning.
With a bang, accompanied by a miserable scream, the waiter fell to the ground while covering his head.
The people were startled, confused even.
Nobody understood why Wang Haoran suddenly wanted to hit someone.
However, everyone’s eyes quickly converged on the dinner plate that fell to the ground.
The impact of the man’s fall had caused the dark cloth to fall off the plate.
And the gun on the plate was now exposed for all to see.
The gangster was bleeding, as he covered his head and groaned, seemingly having lost the ability to resist.
However, just to be cautious, Wang Haoran kicked the weapon a bit farther away.
Qin Kai’s nerves were sensitive, and he immediately reacted. It became clear that these gangsters wanted to kidnap his daughter.
“Dad, this-” Qin Yunhan was both terrified and confused.
“Now do you understand why I wanted to get you a bodyguard?” Qin Kai solemnly said.
The fear still lingered in Qin Yunhan. If it wasn’t for Wang Haoran, she would’ve been held hostage by now.
When she was caught in a fire, Wang Haoran saved her. And now that she was about to get kidnapped, Wang Haoran saved her again.
In a world of fairy tales, the prince would always come forward to save his beloved princess from danger.
Was Wang Haoran her own prince, perhaps?
As she thought of this, Qin Yunhan uncontrollably stared at Wang Haoran.
From his image and family background, wasn’t Wang Haoran a bonafide prince?
[Ding! The Host cuts off the Protagonist’s routine, stopping the gangsters from kidnapping Qin Yunhan. Receiving 400 Villain Points!
Xiao Yifeng’s Protagonist’s Halo -20! Host’s Villain’s Halo +20!]
[Ding! The heroine, Qin Yunhan, has experienced an increase in her favorability toward the Host by 10.
The current total favorability is 55 (Heartfelt Affection).]
[Ding! The Host has greatly affected the plot direction. Receiving 600 villain points!
Xiao Yifeng’s Protagonist’s Halo -30! Host’s Villain’s Halo +30!]
After receiving three consecutive prompts from the system, Wang Haoran was so happy that he almost flew.
However, the 1000 Villain Points and 50 Halo Points were secondary.
He was so happy mainly because of Qin Yunhan experiencing a qualitative change in her favorability.
With this, dealing with Xiao Yifeng would be much easier.
“Haoran, thanks to your quick and timely reaction, we prevented this situation from escalating further. Thank you so much!” Qin Kai gratefully said.
It was during this time that Xiao Yifeng came running over.
However, all he could do was to dislocate some of the gangster’s bones, leaving him defenseless.
[Samael: D i s c o m b o b u l a t e .]
“Miss, are you okay?” Xiao Yifeng asked with concern.
“The gangster has already been taken care of, and you only just got here. What kind of bodyguard are you?” Qin Yunhan contemptuously said to Xiao Yifeng.
“But miss, you gave me orders to guard the door just now. If you had allowed me to stay by your side, he wouldn’t have even gotten within 3 meters of you.” Xiao Yifeng said.
“So now you’re blaming me? I asked you to guard the door, and so you did. If I asked you to die, would you die?” Qin Yunhan is stubborn and willful, and she has a clever way of dealing with people.
Xiao Yifeng was rendered speechless.

[Outside the banquet hall]
The sound of the gunfire gradually ceased.
Both sides’ ammo was limited. In the long run, whoever runs out of supplies first will be finished.
The gangsters took cover behind the hotels’ pillars, there were approximately seven of them.
Three of them were the three young people who had failed to kidnap Qin Yunhan before:
A tall one, a short one, and one with a pockmarked face.
[Samael: I shall refer to you as “pocky”, Mrs. Pockermarked face.]
“Damn it, how come there are so many bodyguards here? They even brought their guns too!” The short-tempered Pocky growled, as the battle came to a temporary halt.
“Qin Kai probably brought them over. He’s really no pushover if he has such precautions installed.” The tall young man said in surprise.
“Then…then what should we do now?” the shorty asked in a panic.
“This is all your fault! If you hadn’t brought out your gun, then the guards wouldn’t have noticed us!” Pocky angrily complained.
“No time to argue. The other guy’s been in there for a while, and I don’t see him anywhere. Something must have happened; let’s not wait any longer. Let’s find a way to get out of here!”
“Cover our retreat!”
Upon hearing this, the accomplices immediately fired off the last of their ammo and retreated in an orderly manner.
When the bodyguards saw this, they hardly tried stopping them.
They were there to protect their employers, not chase down gangsters.
Wee-woo! Wee-woo! Wee-woo!
[PR/N: Really Translator-san?]
The sound of sirens was suddenly heard.
“The cops are here, split up!” the tall young man commanded.
The group of gangsters got into two cars and fled in opposite directions.
Xu Zheng arrived, leading his team in an attempt to arrest these people.
“I’ll go after the black van. Xiao Lin, you take the white van. Xiao Ling, you’ll take the banquet hall to see if anyone is being held hostage.”
Upon seeing this, he immediately split his team into three, two of which would be going after the gangsters’ vehicles, while the other would be headed for the banquet hall.
Once he finished giving out his orders, Xu Zheng and Xiao Lin gave chase to the gangsters.
“Follow me!”
At Ling Duanya’s valiant command, they rushed into the banquet hall with her weapon in hand and her colleagues by her side.
However, when they entered the banquet hall, they found no gangsters threatening the people inside.
The only gangster they found was already subdued.
After determining it was safe, Ling Duanyu and her colleagues immediately lowered their guards.
Then, Ling Duanya and her colleagues hurriedly went to the bodyguards and the other guests in the banquet hall to ask about what had happened.
After learning the general sequence of events, Ling Duanya looked at Xiao Yifeng with a slight frown.
Xiao Yifeng had indeed done his part, but the gangster was already subdued at that point.
From her point of view, his actions were unnecessary, even a bit extreme.
Even gangsters had human rights.
Xiao Yifeng dislocated his bones while he was defenceless.
Thus, this gangster could potentially sue Xiao Yifeng.
‘But then again…’
‘Xiao Yifeng has the backing of the business tycoon, Qin Kai, and the chance of the gangster winning is close to zero.’
Ling Duanya didn’t care about that.
She had a considerable amount of dislike for Xiao Yifeng, so she naturally didn’t want to pay any more attention to him.
Ignoring Xiao Yifeng, she looked at Wang Haoran with admiration.
She was surprised, amazed, she admired him even.
[Ding! The heroine, Ling Duanya, has experienced an increase in her favorability toward the Host by 5.
The current total favorability is 25 (Very Friendly).]
[Ding! The Host has affected the plot direction, receiving 100 villain points!]
