The two subordinates behind Xiao Ya exchanged nces.<span>0
Did she say Mr. Ke Muning?<span>0
She did mention Mr. Ke Muning, right?<span>0
Yes, she definitely did!<span>0
How could this person be the master''s goddaughter?<span>0
Xiao Ya suddenly turned around. Not wanting them to slip up, she took the initiative and asked in German, "Does Ke Muning have other goddaughters? That''s outrageous!"<span>0
Xiao Ya spoke with an angry expression.<span>0
The two subordinates felt their scalps tingle.<span>0
What should they do? She''s angry?<span>0
They had never had tofort a young girl before!<span>0
How should they console her?<span>0
Even if their master were here, he might not be able to handle this well!<span>0
This uncertainty pushed back everything else they wanted to say, leaving them only able to stammer, their lips moving wordlessly before finally squeezing out: "We''ll... we''ll call the master to ask."<span>0
Edith suddenly interjected, "Was that German?"<span>0
Xiao Ya lifted her chin slightly, nodding proudly.<span>0
Edith smiled and said, "I know a little bit too."<span>0
Really? Or just pretending?<span>0
Xiao Ya remained unfazed and said, "Oh? Then repeat what we just said."<span>0
Edith''s eyes flickered.<span>0
Weren''t Chinese people supposed to be modest and reserved? Especially Chinese girls, who should bepletely opposite to foreign girls.<span>0
This one was truly arrogant.<span>0
A thousand times more arrogant than Qin Yue had ever been!<span>0
"Were you asking them to call home?" Edith asked.<span>0
So she could only understand scattered words.<span>0
Xiao Ya felt slightly relieved.<span>0
If Qin Yue could understand the dialect, their future conversations would be even more secure.<span>0
Xiao Ya continued in German to Edith: "Whose property is this? Your family''s? What''s fun to do here?"<span>0
Edith''s expression stiffened slightly: "Are you asking what''s fun to do?"<span>0
But quickly someone behind her said: "She also asked whose property this is?"<span>0
Xiao Ya then said another phrase in German: "DiebstahlversicherungetwinRatenabzahlen."<span>0
This time no one responded.<span>0
This wasn''t aplete sentence, but rather a string of financial vocabry.<span>0
It showed that when slightly more technical words were used, they couldn''t understand at all.<span>0
Finally satisfied with her test, Xiao Ya feltpletely at ease.<span>0
Edith watched her, eyes flickering, feeling very displeased while also bing alert.<span>0
This Chinese girl was extremely guarded; she was testing to see if they could understand.<span>0
Such a person... Edith felt hesitant.<span>0
But then Xiao Ya lifted her chin again, looking down her nose at them, and snorted, "So you really can''t understand. What was that about knowing German?"<span>0
Edith: "..."<span>0
So it wasn''t about testing them? It was purely about mocking them?<span>0
She''s so arrogant.<span>0
Too arrogant!<span>0
Only a Chinese family could raise such a proud yet peculiarly naive girl who hadn''t been exposed to much of the world.<span>0
"Don''t be so proud, we know things you don''t," Edith said with a smirk.<span>0
"Like what?" Xiao Ya asked.<span>0
"Like driving, can you drive?"<span>0
Xiao Ya: "...No." She was underage and couldn''t drive.<span>0
"We also know how to shoot," Edith''s smile grew wider.<span>0
"I know guns are banned in your country. Would you like to try something new? Not just guns. Have you ever had alcohol? Want to taste some?"<span>0
"Parents, teachers, they all restrict your freedom, but here, you can have absolute freedom, experience everything you''ve never experienced before..."<span>0
Edith said, taking the lead: "Come on, though I suggest you don''t bring your bodyguards when doing these things. They might tell your parents. I hear Chinese parents love to educate their children with fists and sticks. You wouldn''t want to get beaten, would you?"<span>0
"What if they have to follow me?"<span>0
Edith turned back: "Then it''s my turn to mock you. Don''t you even have the courage to fight for your own freedom?"<span>0
Xiao Ya turned to her subordinates: "Wait for me here."<span>0
The subordinates nodded.<span>0
If Edith had been more observant, she would have noticed these "bodyguards" were suspiciouslypliant, not even attempting a single word of protest.<span>0
Edith led Xiao Ya across the carpet to a set of double doors.<span>0
Behind the doors was dim lighting, with gun racks on one side and a swimming pool on the other.<span>0
"Aren''t you curious why there aren''t any targets?" Edith turned and asked.<span>0
Xiao Ya obligingly nodded.<span>0
Edith picked up a gun: "Are you scared?"<span>0
"No."<span>0
Edith loaded the gun and fired at a light globe on the ceiling.<span>0
The globe instantly shattered, pieces scattering everywhere.<span>0
The other girls couldn''t help covering their faces to avoid the falling shards.<span>0
Qin Yue had seen such tricks before, and rather than this deliberate "performance," she was more interested in Xiao Ya''s expression.<span>0
But... she didn''t even blink.<span>0
Edith hadn''t noticed Xiao Ya''s expression. She slowly lowered the gun and asked, "Was that fun?"<span>0
"Not really."<span>0
Edith took a small breath, surprised that this one seemed to be "worldly."<span>0
She pressed a button on the wall, and a door opened.<span>0
Inside was a small dark room.<span>0
Xiao Ya''s first reaction was to look for the emergency exit.<span>0
Edith raised the gun and fired another shot.<span>0
In the dim light, a shadow suddenly shuddered but couldn''t make a sound.<span>0
Edith said, "This is why we don''t need targets. Do you find it fun now?"<span>0
As Xiao Ya''s eyes adjusted to the darkness, she finally saw that huddled on the ground was a girl who was also only in her teens.<span>0
The bullet had grazed past her feet, leaving a smoking hole in the ground.<span>0
Xiao Ya stepped back half a step: "Using people as targets? That''s illegal."<span>0
"Can''t handle it?" Edith finally felt like she had regained control of the situation.<span>0
She shrugged: "But you''ve already broken localws. Thew states that minors can''t enter bars."<span>0
She paused, then continued: "If my hand were to slip, and I identally killed this girl. You''re at the scene, you''d be implicated too.<span>0
Then your family would have to rush over here because you''re being prosecuted... Your studies would be interrupted, and there are many other consequences. Do you need me to continue?"<span>0
"Wondering what to do?" Edith moved closer, "Let me tell you what to do."<span>0
"Here, some people always have special privileges."<span>0
"If you join us, your studies and life here will be very smooth, even teachers will fear you..."<span>0
Xiao Ya naturally thought of what she had seen before - "Brotherhood?"<span>0
Edith paused: "You''ve heard of it? Well, yes, I heard there are many rumors about brotherhoods in your country. But we''re not a brotherhood, we''re a sisterhood."<span>0
"Now, tell me, which Chinese family''s daughter are you?" Edith coaxed.<span>0
"My brother is the Chief Inspector," Xiao Ya said briefly.<span>0
Edith''s eyes lit up.<span>0
Currently serving?<span>0
Even better!<span>0
Qin Yue looked confused. Was she making this up? Where did she get a brother who was Chief Inspector?<span>0
"So we''re friends now?" Edith asked proactively.<span>0
Xiao Ya thought briefly, then said: "That depends on what other interesting things you have."<span>0
Edith was surprised: "Isn''t what we''ve shown enough?"<span>0
Xiao Ya took the gun from her hand.<span>0
Edith was caught off guard, her expression changing slightly: "You..."<span>0
Xiao Ya expertly loaded the gun and pulled the trigger.<span>0
"Bang—"<span>0
The bullet hit the mural on the wall, right between the eyes of the woman in the painting.<span>0
That painting was Edith''s self-portrait.<span>0
Xiao Ya said: "This, I''ve yed with long ago."<span>0
Everyone else instantly fell silent.<span>0
Was she really a Chinese child?<span>0Aliali: 6748674f3f33ac4783886
Qin Yue was also stunned.<span>0
Outside the door.<span>0
The subordinates were trying to call Ke Muning.<span>0
"No signal?"<span>0
"Looks like they''ve installed special signal jammers here."<span>0
The subordinates spoke while maintaining perfectly neutral expressions. They were used to others blocking signals before going in to take care of people.<span>0
They''d picked the wrong ancestors to y this trick on.<span>0
They took out a device and pressed a switch... Ten minutester, the signal blocking was disabled.<span>0
They eagerly redialed Ke Muning''s number: "Sir, do you have a second goddaughter?"<span>0
"The young miss is very angry now," they reported honestly.<span>0
