Chapter 1003: Chapter 1044 This Really is a Death-Seeking Rhythm

"Honey!" The sweet call from Su Yiyi finally snapped everyone back to reality, and only then did they notice that there was an extra person in the room—An Zhen had seen him before; he was Su Yiyi’s boyfriend, Li Yifei.

As soon as Li Yifei received Su Yiyi’s call, he rushed over like the wind and upon reaching the door, had heard Zhao Hongji’s reckless words. Thus, he stormed in unapologetically and knocked Zhao Hongji to the ground in one fell swoop.

Then, he embraced Su Yiyi, taking a good look at her, and asked, "How are you?"

Su Yiyi smiled softly and said, "I’m fine, honey, I didn’t embarrass you."

Seeing Su Yiyi’s radiant smile, Li Yifei knew that she had indeed not been at a disadvantage and his heart settled. With a frown, he said, "Weren’t you supposed to be out with a female classmate? Why are there such shady people here?"

Embarrassed, Su Yiyi explained, "I met a male classmate, then he brought two others..."

Just as Su Yiyi was about to explain everything, Zhao Hongji suddenly leaped up. As he usually exercised a bit, his body was rather resilient. Li Yifei’s throw was strong, but it hadn’t hurt him. He recovered in a moment, immediately sprang to his feet with fury, and threw a punch at Li Yifei. Right now, he didn’t care who the other party was or what he did; since he was attacked first, he had to strike back.

Li Yifei was facing away from Zhao Hongji, but the girls could see everything clearly and instantly screamed in shock, while An Zhen anxiously yelled, "Watch out!"

However, her warning was completely redundant. Without even turning his head, Li Yifei kicked backward. The freshly jumped Zhao Hongji was sent flying backward by the kick, rolling on the ground before slamming into a wall and stopping.

Zhao Hongji felt an immense pain in his lower abdomen; struggling, he couldn’t even climb up himself. Wang Chengqiang and Ma Wendong hurried over to help Zhao Hongji up. This guy, having been so casually knocked down twice by Li Yifei, still hadn’t realized how formidable Li Yifei was. Gritting his teeth, he cursed, "I’ll fuck your mother, how dare you hit me, I’m going to cripple you! Chengqiang, Wendong, attack him."

Wang Chengqiang swiftly picked up a bottle while seeing Su Yiyi in Li Yifei’s arms filled Ma Wendong with jealousy and transformed it into resentment. Knowing he couldn’t have Su Yiyi and seeing her in another man’s arms was unbearable. Luckily, he could blame the incident on Zhao Hongji, so he too quickly grabbed a bottle.

Seeing the others armed, Zhao Hongji didn’t hesitate and grabbed a bottle as well, leading the charge towards Li Yifei.

The girls screamed in fear. They had no experience with fights, and now that weapons were involved, a bottle to the head could seriously injure someone.

Unfortunately for them, their screaming hadn’t even stopped when the three men, each armed with a bottle, were already flying through the air, the bottles smashing on the ground with a crisp sound—an incredibly loud noise—making the five girls’ screams abruptly stop. They stared blankly at Li Yifei, barely believing their eyes, each thinking the same thing, "This must be an illusion."

This time, Li Yifei’s blows were a bit heavier; the three men were in deep pain and lost all courage to confront him.

Zhao Hongji struggled to his feet, and though he dared not attack Li Yifei again, he still refused to submit, and viciously said, "Kid, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? I work at the court, and I’ll have you arrested immediately."

Li Yifei, embracing Su Yiyi, turned around, looked at Zhao Hongji, and shook his head dismissively, "I don’t believe it; the court isn’t run by your family."

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Hongji said, "Just you wait and see if I can get you locked up. If I can’t even do that, then I shouldn’t bother staying in Mile City. This time I will eliminate you if it doesn’t kill me."

"Oh really? It seems like you’ve got quite the influence."

"Nonsense. In Mile City, no one dares to offend me, let alone attack me. Kid, you’re a businessman, aren’t you? I’ll have the Commercial Taxation Department and the police station inspect you daily, then get some gangsters to disturb your company every day. I’ll drive you out of business in Mile City and then get you arrested and confiscate all your property. I’ll make sure you end up penniless."

"That sounds pretty scary, don’t tell me you’re just bluffing, are you?" Li Yifei’s face carried a mocking smile.

"You can assume I’m bluffing, but you’ll soon find out I’m not," Zhao Hongji felt like he had regained the upper hand, spoke arrogantly, "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. If you agree to two of my conditions now, I might still let you go."

Li Yifei uttered an "Oh" and asked, "Then tell me, what conditions would it take for you to let me go?"

Zhao Hongji moved his body a bit, feeling intense pain, and his anger towards Li Yifei grew even stronger. He bitterly said, "That’s simple—first, you kneel down and kowtow three times to me, then crawl between my legs."

Though it might seem like a simple thing, for a man, it was an immense humiliation. If he really did it, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of others ever again. In this world, the ones who could endure such disgrace and still accomplish great deeds were exceedingly rare, just like Han Xin.

"What’s the second one?" Li Yifei didn’t respond to the first condition but pressed on to the next.

Zhao Hongji thought Li Yifei had conceded and laughed, saying, "The second one... also very simple. Let your girlfriend accompany us for a week."

Li Yifei’s face darkened, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes. Zhao Hongji dared to make such a demand—Li Yifei felt an urge to kill him on the spot.

"Scumbag!" Following the loud shout, several people entered the private room, and the shout had come from Song Zhentao.

The first time Li Yifei knocked down Zhao Hongji, Song Zhentao, Gu Yanan, Wei Zijun, and Gu Qianjun, along with Su Mengxin and the lady, had all reached the door of the private room. However, those inside had been too focused on the situation in the room to notice who was outside.

Song Zhentao immediately wanted to intervene and stop Zhao Hongji, but Wei Zijun held him back. Gu Yanan and Gu Qianjun also stopped Song Zhentao; they obviously wanted to see what would unfold, which made Song Zhentao frown secretly, though he could only watch from the door.

Seeing Zhao Hongji becoming more and more outrageous and knowing that Li Yifei was very protective of his woman, to provoke her was akin to seeking death. Song Zhentao genuinely feared that Li Yifei would kill Zhao Hongji in a fit of anger. Moreover, Zhao Hongji’s behavior was tarnishing the government’s image of Mile City. With such influential people present, a few words to the higher-ups could jeopardize his career, hence his outburst to intervene.

Zhao Hongji’s rant was interrupted by Song Zhentao’s loud shout, which annoyed him. He gave Song Zhentao a sidelong glance and sneered, "What, you looking for trouble too?"

Song Zhentao was taken aback. Zhao Hongji, a public servant in the court, did not recognize him, the Municipal Party Secretary, which surprised him.

At this moment, Gu Yanan chimed in from behind, "Kid, you think you’re so tough? Do you know who this is? He’s a big deal in our city. You, a small-time judge, can’t afford to provoke him."

Song Zhentao was at a loss for words. Gu Yanan had deliberately understated who he was to bait Zhao Hongji, but it wasn’t like he could outright declare himself as the Municipal Party Secretary now.

Zhao Hongji had indeed been overly arrogant and still did not recognize Song Zhentao. It wasn’t strange, given he was a minor judge who had only seen Song Zhentao on TV, and nowadays, who really watched local channels, especially the news?

With respect to interactions with Song Zhentao, a low-level judge like him was completely unqualified. Now intoxicated and having just been thrashed by Li Yifei, he was in no mood to deal with interruptions, further worsening his irritation. Giving Zhao Hongji a fierce look, he shouted, "Even if you are someone important, it’s best not to provoke me. My uncle is the Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee."

Song Zhentao was infuriated by Zhao Hongji, his face turning green with anger. The guy was acting arrogant here; dealing with him later was one thing, but now Zhao Hongji had dragged his uncle into this. If Song didn’t take his uncle down in front of these people, he might end up facing criticism himself.

"Very well, turns out your uncle is that Zhao Minghui. He really raised a fine nephew."

"You’ve got some nerve to say my uncle’s name directly," Zhao Hongji was now truly upset, glaring haughtily at Song Zhentao.

Song Zhentao, grinding his teeth in anger, bitterly said, "So should I kneel down and apologize to you then?"

Zhao Hongji was not completely foolish and started to sense that Song Zhentao was no ordinary man. So, he didn’t fully burn his bridges but pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand, "That won’t be necessary, but some people should not be provoked. This doesn’t concern you; just mind your own business."

"Scoundrel!" Fuming, Song Zhentao finally cursed out loud, yelling, "Get Zhao Minghui here now; I want to see if I, Song Zhentao, really can’t afford to offend him."

"You really talk big, huh? Song Zhentao is so incredible? Song... Song... Song..." Zhao Hongji was acting arrogant, but suddenly something clicked, his face turned pale, and his body involuntarily began to tremble.
