Leng Yuan’s movements were fast and decisive. In a flash, Old Nine was on the ground, his jaw dislocated.

Old Nine stared, his eyes wide with terror.

’He was wrong.’

’This man is a psycho. The way he hits people hurts way too much.’

’He shouldn’t have messed with someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.’

At that moment, Old Nine thought he saw his great-grandmother.

’His great-grandma was coming to take him away.’

He wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth couldn’t make a sound.

Then, Leng Yuan’s fists landed brutally on Old Nine.

A single punch made Old Nine’s entire face flush red. His eyes were bloodshot, and his features contorted violently.

Leng Yuan didn’t stop. His fists fell like a downpour.

Old Nine was beaten until he started crying.

He hadn’t cried once since becoming a boss. This was the first time he’d cried as an adult.

’He missed his great-grandma.’

’He missed her so much.’

Gu Jiaojiao stood to the side, watching Leng Yuan beat the man. She could only hear the thud of fists on bone, not a single cry of pain.

It was like watching a movie with the volume muted.

The people nearby saw the fight and were all scared into taking a detour.

Before long, the area was completely quiet, devoid of a single person.

Leng Yuan gave him a vicious beating until Old Nine’s struggles grew weak.

Afraid something serious might happen, Gu Jiaojiao quickly spoke up.

"Honey, that’s enough."

Leng Yuan froze for a moment before stopping.

He looked at Old Nine on the ground, who was like a dead dog, and planted his foot on the man’s eye.

"If there’s a next time, you can say goodbye to these eyes."

Old Nine was scared to death. In that instant, he felt like the man before him was going to crush his skull.

Leng Yuan was only giving him a warning, so he lifted his foot.

’If his little wife hadn’t been right there, his actions wouldn’t have been so gentle.’

Gu Jiaojiao walked up, not the least bit afraid. In fact, she felt an incredible sense of security.

She gave Leng Yuan a thumbs-up.

"Honey, you’re amazing."

Old Nine, twitching on the ground: ...

’He really is amazing.’

’A total psycho.’

’How could anyone be so strong? He fractured my arm with a single punch.’

Old Nine’s eyes were filled with terror. He wanted to move, to get away from this madman.

But he couldn’t muster an ounce of strength. No matter which part of him he tried to move, an excruciating pain immediately shot through him.

He had never been in so much pain. Forgetting his image, he lay flat on the ground and began to bawl.

Tears and blood streamed down his face.

Leng Yuan looked at the face—a mixture of dirt, blood, and tears—with utter disgust.

He immediately led Gu Jiaojiao a short distance away.

’A grown man sobbing and sniveling... He hated that most of all.’

Old Nine felt incredibly wronged.

’He’d been beaten to a pulp.’

’The pain was killing him.’

’And now he was being looked down on for crying about it? This was just awful!’

Perhaps because he was crying so hard, Old Nine began to convulse.

Lu Yuanbin came running over.

He arrived just as Old Nine was lying on the ground, weeping his heart out.

This was a black market boss. When had anyone ever seen him in such a state? Lu Yuanbin was dumbfounded.

Then, he hurriedly looked over at Gu Jiaojiao.

He saw Gu Jiaojiao standing with his Brother Leng.

Lu Yuanbin froze, standing there stiffly.

In that moment, he wished he had never chased after them.

’How could I run into my own Brother Leng right after a fight?’

’No wonder Old Nine was beaten into such a pathetic state. If his opponent was Brother Leng, then it wasn’t strange at all.’

Gu Jiaojiao saw Lu Yuanbin arrive and turned back to meet her man’s gaze, which clearly said he wanted to teach her a lesson.

Gu Jiaojiao cleared her throat.

She sidled up to him, grabbed his arm, and acted cute.

"Honey, we have company. Give me some face, okay?"

’She was innocent too!’

’She had no idea this Old Nine was such a creep who would insist on chasing her.’

Leng Yuan’s expression was grim. He couldn’t bear to imagine what Gu Jiaojiao would have suffered if he hadn’t arrived just now.

He radiated an intimidating aura that screamed, "Do not mess with me."

Gu Jiaojiao boldly grabbed the man’s arm and shook it gently.

In the distance, Lu Yuanbin saw this.

He nearly jumped out of his skin.

’This Gu Jiaojiao, does she have a death wish?’

’His Brother Leng despised women the most. He never showed mercy to any woman who got clingy.’

’If Brother Leng punched that pretty face of hers, it’d be ruined for good.’

Afraid that her face would indeed be ruined, Lu Yuanbin could only bite the bullet and step forward.
