"Ah, ah, ah..."
Screams of agony erupted from Cheng Kun's throat.
The few people gathered around had already been few, and now all their attention was drawn to their commotion.
Cheng Kun, who was shaking hands with Lin Xiao Tian, had a contorted expression, his emotions completely out of control.
"Ah... it hurts..."
Cheng Kun desperately tried to pull his hand back, but Lin Xiao Tian refused to let go.
Under the intense pain, Cheng Kun no longer cared about his demeanor and immediately used his other hand to join the struggle.
But Lin Xiao Tian's hand, like a vice, held him firmly.
"Ouch! It hurts... it hurts so much, let go of me!"
Cheng Kun desperately tried to yank his hand free, even sitting down on the ground, attempting to use his weight to break free from Lin Xiao Tian's grip.
But Lin Xiao Tian still didn't loosen his hold.
The most terrifying thing was that Lin Xiao Tian's hand remained at the same height from beginning to end, not moving an inch.
Seeing Cheng Kun's screams grow louder, even Qin Yu Xiang found it unbearable. Only then did Lin Xiao Tian release his grip.
Cheng Kun hadn't expected Lin Xiao Tian to suddenly let go. Because he had been desperately pulling away, his body, propelled by inertia, spun like a top for several rotations.
"Hiss... my hand, is my hand still there?" Cheng Kun struggled to get up from the ground.
He shook his right hand; it was completely numb.
Looking around, he saw everyone staring at him, and Cheng Kun's face immediately flushed red.
"What are you looking at? Damn it, you want a fight?" Cheng Kun yelled at the onlookers.
Seeing Cheng Kun's bullying demeanor, the surrounding people instinctively averted their gaze.
But Cheng Kun was clearly not done being angry. He scanned the crowd and saw Lin Xiao Tian and Qin Yu Xiang walking away, with Qin Yu Xiang still wearing a panicked expression.
Cheng Kun felt a flicker of amusement.
Scared?
Qin Yu Xiang was still scared?
That meant they were trying to run?
Why were they running? Because he was stronger than them!
Driven by lust, Cheng Kun ran towards Lin Xiao Tian.
"Wait a moment, that didn't count. Let's do it again." Cheng Kun blocked Lin Xiao Tian's path once more.
"Oh! I see. Is it because I didn't introduce myself just now?" Lin Xiao Tian asked with a smile.
"Yes! You didn't say your name. You're Yu Xiang's man after all, so we should get acquainted, right?" Cheng Kun said shamelessly.
Qin Yu Xiang, hearing this, became a little angry. Why should her man be forced to get acquainted with Cheng Kun?
But Lin Xiao Tian's expression remained calm.
"My name is Lin Xiao Tian!" Lin Xiao Tian extended his hand proactively.
Cheng Kun also extended his hand.
But in the next second, he abruptly pulled it back.
The stinging pain in his right hand hadn't subsided, and the man before him had maintained a relaxed expression the entire time.
This wasn't fear at all.
How foolish was he to think that he was scared of him?
For a moment, looking at Lin Xiao Tian's outstretched hand, Cheng Kun hesitated.
"Heh heh, Xiao Tian, is it? I'll remember you." Cheng Kun ultimately gave up on the handshake.
"Cheng Kun, I'll remember you too." Lin Xiao Tian smiled slightly. "Do you need anything else?"
"No... not at the moment!"
"At the moment?" Lin Xiao Tian could tell that Cheng Kun's words were a threat.
But he wasn't worried.
Cheng Kun lacked the ruthlessness of a street thug and the cunning of a hypocrite. Such a person, who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, was much easier to deal with.
Thinking this, Lin Xiao Tian said calmly:
"Alright then! If you need anything, feel free to come find me. I'm free all day today!"
"Okay! I will!"
Lin Xiao Tian smiled and left with Qin Yu Xiang.
Watching their retreating figures, a gloomy expression appeared on Cheng Kun's face.
He couldn't stomach the humiliation Lin Xiao Tian had just inflicted upon him.
And Qin Yu Xiang, such a beauty, he absolutely couldn't give up on her just like that.
With this thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Meanwhile.
Lin Xiao Tian and Qin Yu Xiang arrived at a small eatery.
The county town wasn't prosperous, making it difficult to find places to eat. Lin Xiao Tian was also unfamiliar with the area, so he found a nearby spot.
While they were eating, Liang Xu finally found a parking spot and called to ask for Lin Xiao Tian's location.
Lin Xiao Tian, seeing that the time was approaching, told him to head directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to meet.
At two-thirty in the afternoon.
Lin Xiao Tian and Qin Yu Xiang appeared at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Li Da Zhu also arrived right on time.
Now that he was a eunuch, with no desires for romantic matters, divorcing Qin Yu Xiang was not a big deal for him.
The two entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and quickly completed the divorce certificates.
After obtaining the divorce certificates, Lin Xiao Tian prepared to take Qin Yu Xiang back, but Li Da Zhu called out to Lin Xiao Tian.
"Xiao Tian, can we talk alone?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
Li Da Zhu led Lin Xiao Tian out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and found a secluded corner nearby.
Lin Xiao Tian then asked Liang Xu to accompany Qin Yu Xiang and wait inside the bureau.
Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Lin Xiao Tian frowned as he looked at Li Da Zhu, who seemed hesitant to speak.
"Li Da Zhu, spit it out, don't beat around the bush!"
"Xiao Tian, you know, now that I've divorced Yu Xiang, I'm alone. What will happen when I get old?" Li Da Zhu sighed.
Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback. "What does your divorce have to do with this?"
"How is it unrelated? Clearly, I can't get married again, and no one will take care of me in my old age. Won't I just be waiting to die?" Li Da Zhu looked at Lin Xiao Tian.
"Li Da Zhu, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Heh heh, Xiao Tian, since I've divorced Yu Xiang, can't you give me some compensation? After all, I haven't asked you for a single cent!" Li Da Zhu said with a smile.
Lin Xiao Tian was infuriated.
Li Da Zhu had already wronged Qin Yu Xiang, and now their divorce was due to mutual incompatibility and was voluntary.
From beginning to end, Qin Yu Xiang owed Li Da Zhu nothing.
Instead, it was Li Da Zhu who had Qin Yu Xiang help repay his debts when he had run away.
And now, Li Da Zhu shamelessly demanded compensation?
Lin Xiao Tian sneered. "Li Da Zhu, do you think I'm an idiot? Why should I compensate you?"
"Xiao Tian, your family is wealthy and influential. Are you short of this little bit of money? Consider it paying for Yu Xiang's freedom."
Lin Xiao Tian grabbed Li Da Zhu by the collar. "Li Da Zhu, do you really think I have a good temper? Do you think I'm still the fool you used to bully?"
Li Da Zhu, intimidated by Lin Xiao Tian's glare, suddenly became scared.
"Okay, okay, I misspoke just now."
"How about this? For the sake of our years of friendship, can you grant me one request?"
Li Da Zhu wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite shrewd. But his persistence made Lin Xiao Tian somewhat curious.
"What request?"
