Tomb Raider: As a cannon fodder, I started to play badly

As soon as Bai Ran got off the car, he was taken to a separate courtyard of the Xie family by the servants of the Xie family. In the courtyard, he saw a woman lying, and there were countless servants of the Xie family guarding her. However, Bai Ran was too anxious to care about so many things. He just took a quick glance and walked in the direction indicated by the housekeeper. When he reached the door, Bai Ran took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and said softly: "Xiaohua, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

The door was opened, and Bai Ran was immediately hugged by someone. Bai Ran supported his body with his feet and hugged the person tightly in his arms. He took a step forward, and with a light "creak" sound, he separated himself, the person in his arms and the world.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Bai Ran gently patted the back of the person in his arms, whispered comfortingly, and leaned lightly against the door.

"I almost, almost got hit!" Xie Yuchen said uneasily in Bai Ran's arms. His voice was still trembling. He hugged this person tightly and listened to his breath. Only in this way could he tell that this person was still there.

"Xiaohua is awesome!" Bai Ran smiled and praised the person in his arms who was still feeling very uneasy.

"Xiao Ran, I'm just a little bit short, just a little bit." Xie Yuchen said sullenly.

"It's okay, Xiao Ran knows. Xiao Hua resisted this time, didn't she? Our Xiao Hua is really amazing!"

"Bai Ran, I'm serious with you! That fake just wants to rob us of our luck, but you are different, it wants to kill you!" Xie Yuchen broke free, looked at the person in front of him who was still smiling, and roared directly.

Only then did Bai Ran see Xiaohua's current appearance clearly. She looked at him with red eyes and very excitedly. His face was pale and his tone was still filled with uncontrollable anger.

"It's okay. I'm fine now, right?" Bai Ran still kept his arms open and looked at him tenderly.

Xie Yuchen turned around, not knowing what to say next. And Bai Ran? For him, death was not a very scary thing. He had even been able to design his own death before, so how could he be afraid of a clown jumping in front of him? It was just more or less, there would be some regrets! Obviously, he had tried so hard to live like a human being, but countless things, like his chest that never beat and his body that was always at room temperature, reminded him again and again that he was not a human being and could not become one.

"Xiaohua, do you regret it?" Bai Ran opened his dry throat and said helplessly, "Are you thinking that maybe it would be a better choice for me to stay in the bronze door?" Bai Ran walked forward, patted Xie Yuchen on the shoulder, and gently advised, "Xiaohua, I will be fine. Didn't I say that I will never lie to you again, believe me, okay? And, even if..."

Before he could even utter the word after “even if”, Xie Yuchen interrupted him, “No even if!”

Bai Ran looked at him, Xie Yuchen still didn't turn around, and neither of them spoke. Bai Ran was overwhelmed by Xie Yuchen's anxiety, sighed, gently hugged Xiaohua in his arms, and comforted him: "I asked about the situation on the way to Aqi, and it's similar to ours, but it may be mainly on our side at the moment, so it doesn't affect them much!"

"us?"

"Zhang Rishan didn't see me. When I was leaving the Crescent Hotel, I was thinking about walking around and called you. I guess you didn't pay much attention. Then when I was walking in the alley reminiscing about the past, suddenly a girl rushed out and bumped into me. She..." Bai Ran hesitated for a moment and pursed his lips, "she looks similar to Mr. Qi Ba."

"How about you?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I originally thought it was just a coincidence, but then I thought of your abnormality and later proved my guess. I knew it was the fake who did it."

"I was discussing a cooperation this morning, and my partner met me nearby. After the discussion, during dinner, my partner introduced the person from outside. I didn't have any ideas at first, but then my mind seemed to be out of control. Although I had doubts several times, I quickly regained control and regained my rationality. It was your phone call that completely changed my mind, and I knocked that woman unconscious and left her outside." Xie Yuchen reported his itinerary.

Bai Ran felt that Xie Yuchen's mood had gradually stabilized, so he loosened his arms, stood beside him, thought for a while and said, "How about we talk to her?"

"No, I..."

"Xiaohua, believe me, it's okay!" Bai Ran turned Xie Yuchen around and made him face him, and said with trust. Xie Yuchen had no choice but to turn his head to the side and let the servants of the Xie family wake up the woman.

"Brother Xiaohua, where are you?" A woman's voice sounded. At this time, Bai Ran opened the door and looked at Xie Yuchen behind him, but saw that he shook his head. Bai Ran was helpless, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"Who are you? Brother Xiaohua, I saw you, why didn't you come out to see me! Who is this man? Don't you want to see me?" The woman's voice weakened a little, and she said pitifully.

What a pity, there are only two people who can save her. One cannot be called a real person, and the other, the fact that he has not been killed yet is the result of another person's obstruction. How could he care about her?

"Who are you?" Bai Ran asked again in a good-tempered manner.

"I'm from the Huo family. My name is Huo Qinglian."

"Go back, you are not welcome here!" Bai Ran decided to give this girl, who might have joined this conspiracy innocently, one last chance to escape from the tiger's mouth.

"Who are you? I want to see Brother Xiaohua! Could it be that this is Brother Xiaohua's idea? I want Brother Xiaohua to tell me in person!" Huo Qinglian didn't expect that this person would chase her away right away.

"Get lost!" Xie Yuchen was really scared by this woman. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he didn't regain his sanity. So, the mask that had always been on Xie Yuchen's face was taken off, and he roared directly.

"Brother Xiaohua, did Qinglian do something wrong?" Huo Qinglian was about to cry as she looked behind Bai Ran, as if this could convey her emotions to the person behind her.

Bai Ran lost his patience and asked the rest of Xie's men to leave. Then he set up a formation and walked in front of Huo Qinglian. He looked down at Huo Qinglian and said indifferently, "Just you?"
