"Angie!" Sophie Su stared at Anqi Chen in a daze, as if time had suddenly flashed back to her childhood. Back then, no matter what danger she faced, Anqi would always step up and shield her, and every bully would end up running away in tears after getting a beating from this big sister.
Now, although Sophie had grown up, become tough, and even taken charge of the entire Su Group as one of Harbor City's rare strong female CEOs, she was still young. And in front of Anqi, she always felt like a kid. So the moment she heard Anqi say that, Sophie instantly nodded.
"Should we call a few more people to help you out?" Lily Liu asked worriedly from the side.
"No need!" Anqi Chen was clearly not nervous at all. After all, she’d been arrogant for years in the provincial capital, and she was a real grandmaster—no way she’d lose face in a small city like Harbor. But after thinking for a moment, she suddenly turned to Ryan Ling and said, "If things really get dangerous, let Ryan come with me!"
"Me?" Ryan Ling froze, honestly not too keen on being alone with her.
But before he could finish, Sophie jumped in, eager: "Exactly, let Ryan go! I was just about to say it myself. I'll stay here with Lily to take care of Grandpa. If he goes with you, I’ll feel much better!"
"Great, it’s settled then!" Anqi Chen grinned, snapped her fingers at Ryan, and he instinctively shivered. Sure, they’d be going together, but at least the pharmacy had staff and it was broad daylight—Anqi probably wouldn’t go too crazy. Thinking this, Ryan relaxed a little.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Ryan personally drove Anqi to Su’s Pharmacy, the Su Group’s biggest store in Harbor City—over 300 square meters, prime downtown location, and solid business. When the Su family hit hard times, most of their income depended on this pharmacy.
"Master Ling, never thought we’d be fighting side by side again so soon—just thinking about it gets me hyped!" In the car, Anqi Chen couldn’t help but speak up.
Ryan just grunted, figuring it was best to keep the conversation with her to a minimum.
