erly at Li An and smiled."Mind your own business," Shao Meizhuo released Wu Tiantian, not forgetting to quarrel with Li An. "Come here, Tiantian, sit by me." She pulled Wu Tiantian over to sit next to...Chapter 53: An Untamed Beast
Lian raised the cane beside him and swung it at Zhou Guangtao, bringing a gust of wind with its swift movement.
Zhou Guangtao loved playing ball games and running when he was in school; his body had developed well as a result. Yet compared to Lian, who came from a background in the underworld and received special training, Zhou's sensitivity to danger and reaction time were far inferior. By the time Zhou realized that Lian intended to take violent action, Lian’s cane was already descending.
As Lian's cane neared Zhou Guangtao's head, Yan Luoxi once again pushed him aside with her body shielding the cane that struck down...
The previous time when Lian drove a car at her and Zhou Guangtao, she had swiftly pushed Zhou away. This time was no different; her ability to react quickly to sudden changes wasn't because she was more skilled than Zhou Guangtao, but rather due to her deep understanding of Lian. This young master was unpredictable and incapable of controlling his temper.
Although Lian had matured somewhat with age over the years, in his younger days when he was full of vigor, if he saw someone he disliked while out, he would kick them without warning. There were numerous instances where people would be found on the ground clutching their heads or stomachs groaning before hearing any verbal confrontation from him.
Lihao Nan was strict but didn't often intervene in such minor skirmishes as Lian's brawls. Thus, over time, Lian had become an untamed beast that would resort to extreme and cruel actions when provoked.
Yan Luoxi had heard of Lian’s ruthlessness before. Earlier, she also recalled Ming Zixi mentioning how Lian once used his cane to injure someone's head. She always kept a wary eye on the green-tinted cane he carried beside him.
Although Li An was filled with hatred and wished to kill Zhou Guangtao instantly, he had been trained by the professional Li Haonan since childhood, so his movements were still controlled. The cane that came down with the intention of hurting someone stopped just an inch away from Yan Luoxi's head.
"Oh my god, you want to scare me to death," Ming Zixi covered his chest in fear. When Li An raised the cane and struck down, he was completely blank in his mind. If Li An had actually hit Zhou Guangtao on the head, he wouldn't have been able to handle it.
Ming Zixi quickly rushed over and grabbed Li An's "weapon." He scolded him as if dealing with a child, "Li An, can you let me rest easy Even though your leg is injured, you still don’t calm down. The hospital gave you the cane to treat your injury, not for hurting people. With how energetic you look now, you don't even need this thing anymore. In the future, it would be better if you jump around instead. It’s safer."
Li An's expression changed several times in just that moment, especially when he saw Yan Luoxi protect Zhou Guangtao regardless of everything. But very quickly, his face became indifferent and unconcerned. He gave a cold snort before looking rather lazy and self-satisfied.
Sao Junhe also rushed over hurriedly to check on Yan Luoxi's condition and asked anxiously, "Luoxi, are you okay Did he hit you anywhere"
Yan Luoxi slowly calmed down from her shock. She shook her head blankly and said weakly, "Thank you, I'm fine."
"Luoxi," Zhou Guangtao wasn't pushed far away this time by Yan Luoxi. He quickly turned around, grabbed Yan Luoxi from Sao Junhe's side, and examined her up and down, saying in a state of shock, "You silly child, you don’t need to protect me. You should take care of yourself."
Yan Luoxi forced a smile at him. "Brother Guangtao, it’s not that I’m protecting you. It’s all my fault. I’ve caused trouble for you."
"It's not about you. This matter has nothing to do with you," Zhou Guangtao suddenly turned around and glared at Li An angrily. "There are people responsible for this."
The person responsible was extremely arrogant. Seeing Zhou Guangtao looking over, he raised his eyebrows挑釁地, and said sarcastically, "Are you a man You always rely on women to protect you. If it wasn't Lu Xi just now, I would have killed you right then and there."
"I am not a man. And you are not even human," Zhou Guangtao pushed aside Yan Lexi from his arms and started running towards Li An in an aggressive stance.
Shao Junhe saw this and immediately stood in front of Zhou Guangtao, separating the furious Zhou Guangtao from Li An. Regardless of whether Li An was right or wrong, he was still a friend of Shao Junhe's. Now that one of his legs was injured, even with excellent martial arts skills, if he were to really fight against Zhou Guangtao, it would be disadvantageous for him.
Seeing this, Yan Lexi hurriedly pulled Zhou Guangtao's hand and pleaded pitifully, "Brother Guangtao, we shouldn't take him seriously. Just ignore him..."
Shao Junhe and Ming Zixi were consoling Zhou Guangtao and Li An respectively.
Ming Zixi and Shao Junhe had been drawn over by the commotion from the fire escape通道, and were standing to one side listening in.
Shao Junhe saw Yan Lexi looking like a rain-washed pear blossom梨花帶雨, on the verge of collapse, and feeling extremely awkward. He knew that with more people present圍觀, it would be even harder for Yan Lexi.
He wanted to help Yan Luoxi out of her predicament, but Li An's feelings for Yan Luoxi were not fake either. They had been through twenty-five years together as friends; he had never seen Li An look at any other woman with such a deep gaze before. Infatuated and persistent.
This was karma. Shao Junhe knew that there was nothing he could do about the situation. He signaled Ming Zixi with his eyes to leave.
Ming Zixi didn't move, thinking that Li An’s fiery temper wasn’t something they could ignore. Even if it was clearly not their fault, Li An would get angry later and be too embarrassed to admit it. If we leave now, who will calm him down when Zhou Guangtao aggravates him
Indeed, things unfolded exactly as Ming Zixi had anticipated. Li An got furious once again and used his cane as a weapon.
Li An didn’t care whether or not Ming Zixi took away his cane; he just stared unwaveringly at Yan Luoxi, who was desperately defending Zhou Guangtao. He felt aggrieved yet unwilling to back down. Clenching his teeth and grinding his molars, he said: "Yan Luoxi, this is the second time. This is already the second time. Let me tell you, don’t take advantage of my tolerance towards you by showing favoritism towards him in front of me; otherwise one day I will come after you with interest.
At that moment, Yan Luoxi wiped away her tears and stared sternly at Li An. With gritted teeth, she retorted: "Li An, don’t push your luck either. Your oppression over the years is enough already. For my father’s and mother's sake, I can tolerate you, but if you ever harm my brother Guangtao again... then I will kill you and die alongside you!
Seeing Yan Luoxi’s determined look of wanting to eliminate him immediately made Li An feel an icy chill in his heart. He appeared desolate.
Turns out, he didn't just want her body, but also her heart. Seeing how she disregarded his feelings and protected another man with all her might, he truly felt the sting of a cold heart.his relatives lived.After driving there, he encountered Ran Xu searching for Yan Luoxi just as he arrived.Heard that Yan Luoxi ran off in the rain, Li An was extremely anxious.
