Han Lan's puzzlement vanished from her eyes as she furrowed her brows, about to scold, but Wang Dahai stepped in front of the two elderly people before she could.

"What's your relationship with Han Lan?"

The two elders were frightened by his fierce demeanor and stammered without speaking for quite some time.

"Damn it!"

Wang Dahai cursed and then turned to the two young people in their twenties, "Are you Han Lan's relatives?"

The middle-aged man who had opened the door finally came to his senses, hurried forward, shielded the two young people behind him, and attempted to push Wang Dahai away, "Who are you? Who let you in?"

Wang Dahai grabbed his arm, and without another word, raised his hand and delivered several slaps to both sides of his face.

With a couple of smacks, he saw stars.

This sudden violence scared everyone in the house.

Even Director Han was scared.

The man's face stung fiercely as he clutched it and said, "You, why are you hitting people!"

Wang Dahai grabbed his hair and delivered two more slaps, followed by a kick to his stomach that sent him tumbling to the floor.

After the beating, Wang Dahai looked at the two young people again, "Are you two Han Lan's relatives?"

Both young people were scared stiff.

Only then did Wang Dahai turn his head to Han Lan and, while the others were stupefied, secretly winked at her.

Han Lan was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind his glance.

"Han Lan, these are your relatives, right?" Wang Dahai gently patted the shoulder of one of the young women and asked with a smiling face.

Han Lan subconsciously said, "She's my niece…"

"Niece, huh? She's quite pretty."

Wang Dahai pinched the young woman's cheek and added, "Han Lan, you really don't plan on paying back the money you owe me, do you? If you don't want to pay, that's fine. Your niece has a good look; I can take her back for some training, and she can easily make a few thousand a day."

After saying that, he grabbed the young girl's arm, lifted her from the couch, and walked towards the outside.

At this moment, the young girl finally reacted, struggling violently, "What are you doing, let go of me, let go…"

The middle-aged man who had been hit, along with a middle-aged woman, immediately rushed over, one hugging the young girl and the other pulling at Wang Dahai.

"Let go, that's my daughter!"

"Han Lan owes you money, go after her, why are you grabbing my daughter!"

The family finally understood what was happening.

Han Lan had external debts, and it seemed like a high-interest loan.

The other party was obviously a thug and had now come to collect the debt.

"What do you mean your daughter? She's her niece; it's only natural for the niece to pay the debts of the aunt!"

"Don't worry, once your daughter has made enough to pay off the debt, I'll give her the surplus."

"Your daughter's skin is really nice. If she works hard for me, she could buy an apartment in Lingcheng in no more than three years."

"Then she can find a decent man to marry, bear children, and lead a comfortable life."

Wang Dahai's words left the family trembling with fear.

"What aunt? Han Lan isn't her aunt, we're not related at all, we're not even relatives!"

The middle-aged man shouted loudly, finally pulling the young girl out of Wang Dahai's grasp.

"Damn it!" Wang cursed, reaching out to grab her back.

But the middle-aged man had already run out the door with his daughter, and the others quickly followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, the whole family had run away.

And they even closed the door in the process.

After the people had left, Chu Qing ran out of the room excitedly, "Wang, you're amazing!"

Wang Dahai raised his eyebrows proudly at her, "Of course, I have the most experience dealing with this kind of scum."

It was only then that Director Han realized that Wang Dahai had put on a show for his relatives.

"Wang Dahai!" Director Han glared at him, "Who told you to do this?"

Chu Qing stuck out her tongue and quickly ran back to her room.

Wang Dahai said, "Qing sent me a message saying someone was harassing you, so I came over to check it out."

Director Han said, "This is a matter for my family, none of your business!"

Wang Dahai snorted, "You really are unreasonable. I'm kindly offering to help you with your troubles, and you're yelling at me?"

"Do you think I want to meddle?"

"I'm worried it might affect Qing. Otherwise, I couldn't care less."

"I didn't ask for your help!"

"Heh."

Wang Dahai said, "Whether you asked or not isn't important. What's important is that I intervened. Also, if I hadn't come, how exactly were you planning to resolve today's issue?"

"You think you can handle this peculiar relative of yours?"

"So, whether you like it or not, I'm the one who resolved the issue."

He walked closer and whispered in her ear, "Remember, you owe me a favor."

He got too close, making Director Han somewhat uncomfortable.

"Don't stand so close to me!"

"You think I want to be this close to you? I'm doing it so Qing won't overhear."

After saying that, Wang Dahai stepped back and shouted toward the room, "Qing, come out for a moment."

Chu Qing opened the door and came out. She looked at Wang Dahai, then at her mother.

Wang Dahai said, "I've spoken with your mom, and she has accepted me as your online friend. From now on, if you want to go out, just let me know, no need to report to your mom."

Chu Qing's eyes lit up, somewhat incredulous.

"Mom, really?"

Director Han almost ran out of breath, but seeing her daughter's hopeful eyes, and remembering the skipped class from yesterday,

And considering the guilt she had towards her daughter since the divorce, Director Han forced a smile, "Hmm."

"Yay!" Chu Qing was so happy she almost jumped up.

Wang Dahai said, "Don't get too excited. Going out with me is fine, but you're not allowed to skip classes from now on, got it?"

"Hmm-hmm."

"Also, cut down on chatting with those random people online. You're still young; if someone lures you out and takes advantage of you, you'll regret it too late."

"But didn't you also get to know me online?"

"..." Wang Dahai was momentarily speechless.

Seeing his deflated expression, Director Han's face broke into a smile as well.

"I'm different!" Wang Dahai said, "I see you as a sister."

Chu Qing pouted, "Then this weekend, I want to go play billiards."

"No problem."

"I also want to see a movie."

"Sure."

"You ride your bike and take me for a spin!"

"Sure."

Wang Dahai agreed to everything.

After she finished making her requests, Wang Dahai said, "But you can't fall behind on your studies, or else your mom will never forgive me."

"That's not a difficult thing," Chu Qing said confidently, with a slightly raised chin.

"Alright then, get some sleep. I need to head off."

"Oh, right."

Wang Dahai looked at Director Han, "If those relatives come again, let me know. I have experience with this kind of people."

Director Han wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but Wang Dahai did have the experience.

So, she nodded and gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

After leaving Director Han's house, Wang Dahai suddenly felt conflicted.

He didn't know whether he should go to Wu Qiangwei's place or to Luo Qin's house.
