Fear was instinctive, and when his emotions overcame his fear, he immediately turned his head and glared at Yu Ke in embarrassment.
"You damn bitch, you lied to me? And you're keeping two men here and pretending to be pure with me?"
"Yang Guang, mind your language!"
Yu Ke couldn't help but curse angrily, while Yue Hai, with a cold expression, walked towards Yang Guang.
"I can't deal with him, but can't I deal with you?"
Yang Guang was also seething with anger. Although he knew he was no match for Li Chonglou, he truly didn't take the stranger who suddenly appeared, dressed like a male escort, seriously. He had even made him an outlet for his emotions.
Without any communication, the two suddenly started fighting.
Yang Guang moved first.
Having gotten whatever he wanted since childhood, he had long cultivated a very traditional, no, a pathologically chauvinistic mindset.
Yu Ke was already considered his property, both in terms of her looks and his father's instructions. So, seeing that she had two men hidden in her room as a single woman, how could he possibly tolerate it!
He stomped his foot, causing the hard floor to crack, and he, like a cannonball, threw a straight punch at Yue Hai's face.
The next second, Yue Hai's figure suddenly disappeared from his spot, and Yang Guang lunged forward, missing his target. The fierce momentum even made him stumble forward a few steps.
"This is bad!"
Yang Guang immediately realized he had encountered a master, but it was too late to regret his rash attack. His instincts took over, and he immediately adopted a stable stance, turning around with a defensive posture.
Just then, a whip kick violently swept towards him. With a loud 'snap', Yang Guang, who thought he could calmly block this move, was kicked flying backward with his arm raised. He slammed heavily into the famous painting.
The million-dollar famous painting instantly turned into scrap paper. After Yang Guang crashed heavily onto the ground, the damaged painting happened to float down and cover his head.
Such a sudden turn of events had already terrified Yu Ke. From Yang Guang's sudden attack to him being sent flying and hitting the wall, it had only taken a few breaths.
It wasn't until the living room suddenly fell silent that Yu Ke finally reacted.
"This is bad!"
Just as Yu Ke was about to check on Yang Guang's injuries, Yue Hai suddenly said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I controlled my strength this time. He's fine."
Yu Ke was stunned. At this moment, Yang Guang indeed stood up as if nothing had happened, shaking his hands, but his expression had become extremely unpleasant.
What kind of monsters were these!
Why were there such ridiculously rich people in this world? Yang Guang felt both depressed and fearful. He was truly a little scared.
If Yue Hai hadn't said that, he would have thought he still had a chance to fight, as he could withstand the force of that kick.
But the reality was that the other party had intentionally held back. What was the point of fighting then!
With this thought, Yang Guang didn't even leave any harsh words behind. He turned around with a dark face, walked to the door, and slammed it shut as he left.
The atmosphere in the living room immediately became silent again.
Just as Yue Hai was about to return to Li Chonglou's side, Yu Ke suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Thank you."
Yue Hai's body visibly stiffened, but he didn't reply. He silently walked back to Li Chonglou's side.
However, at this moment, his expression visibly softened, and he even felt a little pleased.
Li Chonglou then said sternly to Yu Ke, "If something like this happens again, don't blame me for not considering you a friend anymore."
Yue Hai's expression changed. He looked at Li Chonglou with confusion. He didn't understand why she, the victim, was being spoken to in such a tone and with such words.
What was going on with Brother Li?
What made him even more confused was Yu Ke's reaction.
"I'm sorry, Brother Li. I just didn't want to cause you trouble."
"So you're bearing it all alone? These things were probably sent by him too, weren't they?"
"Mm."
Yu Ke lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. At this moment, Yue Hai couldn't help but interject.
"Brother Li, wasn't she also being bullied?"
Li Chonglou turned to look at Yue Hai and said, "I'll explain this to you later. For now, just understand that I'm doing this for her own good."
Yue Hai furrowed his brow tightly but said no more.
Li Chonglou sat down opposite Yu Ke.
"I originally came to talk to you about company matters, but it seems we need to resolve this first. Come on, tell me everything about what happened."
Yu Ke hesitated at first, but after looking up and seeing Li Chonglou's stern gaze, she finally explained the situation in detail.
Li Chonglou then understood how powerful the so-called elder of the Shangjing Martial Arts Association was, and that such a figure existed.
"A local overlord from the past, indeed quite tricky."
This time, Yue Hai had a rough understanding of what was going on and immediately voiced his naive opinion: "What's there to be afraid of? We can just fight him!"
Li Chonglou immediately rolled his eyes at him and explained, "Strength is one thing, but influence cannot be ignored. You are here with no family or friends, so you can act as you please, but what about Yu Ke?"
Yue Hai still didn't understand Li Chonglou's meaning.
"Then if one comes, kill one. If a pair comes, kill a pair, isn't that enough?"
Li Chonglou shook his head. "The numbers aren't just one or two, but tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Don't think I'm exaggerating. He's been entrenched here as a local tyrant for so many years; he should be able to achieve this many people."
A look of confusion flashed across Yue Hai's face. He still didn't understand Li Chonglou's meaning.
Li Chonglou didn't explain further. After a moment of silence, he said to Yu Ke, "To catch the king, you must first catch the thieves. Tell me his address, and I'll go meet him before deciding what to do next."
Yu Ke's face immediately showed hesitation. Seeing this, Li Chonglou reminded her, "Don't hesitate. He could make a move at any moment. Even if your grandfather has a connection with him, who can be sure in such matters?"
Yu Ke's expression changed slightly, and only then did she give Yang Dongtian's address.
"Let's go, time to get to work."
Li Chonglou didn't hesitate at all. He stood up directly and said to Yue Hai.
The latter visibly perked up immediately, his eyes brightening with a 'whoosh', and he quickly stood up.
"You should notify your family first and explain this matter clearly. It's best if they send someone over first..."
Li Chonglou suddenly paused as he said this. He glanced first at Yue Hai, then at Yu Ke.
"Perhaps I should have him stay here to protect you? In case that guy makes a desperate move?"
"No!"
The two of them said in unison.
