Chapter 1077: Chapter 1120: A Tiger in Trouble is Bullied by Dogs in Pingyang

The rivalry between Li Yifei and Meng Qianjun was completely unknown to outsiders; the city leaders only knew that Meng Qianjun had temporarily withdrawn from Mile City, so they figured it must have been a victory for Li Yifei, but as for the specifics, they were just as clueless.

The higher-ups were unaware of the situation, so naturally, those below them were even more in the dark, especially those figures in the underworld. During this time, most had followed Meng Qianjun. Although Meng Qianjun had left for the time being, his enterprises were still there, so his influence hadn’t dissipated. Thus, they believed that Brother Hu was now nothing more than Meng Qianjun’s Front Soldier, nothing to be in awe of.

Especially those who had suffered at Brother Hu’s hands before now saw a golden opportunity to settle scores with Brother Hu. Today, a group barged into Wang Lin’s place, even thinking of messing with Wang Lin today to humiliate Brother Hu thoroughly.

As soon as a few people entered, they started shouting and making a racket. Wang Lin was in the kitchen preparing food, and the front desk staff immediately ran to notify her.

This infuriated Wang Lin. In the past, who would dare to cause trouble here? If some hooligans came to dine, they’d have to leave extra money. Now, on the contrary, there were people causing trouble from time to time. A few days ago, Brother Hu could only lay low and Wang Lin had to endure it, but today Young Master Li was here, so what did she have to fear?

"What are you doing? Get out, all of you! This isn’t a place for you to run wild." Wang Lin burst out, only to see six young men crowding around a man in his forties, making a scene. She immediately started yelling angrily.

"Oh ho!" The forty-something man named Guan Gaochao had been a thug in his early years. After so many years, he had achieved some minor success, running a bar and a karaoke establishment. He had once had a conflict with Brother Hu and gotten beaten up by him. He dared not say anything back then but always held a grudge. Now, finally having an opportunity, he leered at Wang Lin, saying, "Brothers, this chick is damn fine. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a bit of fun with her?"

"Yeah, it’ll definitely be a blast. Brother Gao, you go first. Will you let your brothers have a taste afterward?"

The lackeys around him immediately started to jeer with dirty, vulgar language.

"Guan Gaochao, you really have grown bolder, daring to make passes even at me. Seems like you think your life’s too long," Wang Lin said, recognizing Guan Gaochao and shouting with an ashen face.

Guan Gaochao squinted his eyes, letting his gaze wander blatantly over Wang Lin’s body, saying, "If it were two months ago, I definitely wouldn’t dare to flirt with you, but times have changed. Today, I not only dare to flirt with you, but I also dare to play with you. Do you think that sick cat can still protect you? Haha..."

"Brother Gao put it so well. Before, he was Brother Hu, but now he’s just a sick cat who needs to act tame,"

"That’s right, that sick cat can barely protect himself now, how could he protect you? You’d be better off giving in to our Brother Gao. With Brother Gao covering for you, you’ll surely get to eat and drink well."

Wang Lin was so angry she trembled, but she was a cunning woman. Knowing that with Li Yifei present, these men would definitely not end well and she wouldn’t suffer a loss, she needed to show her loyalty to Brother Hu at this moment. Grinding her teeth, she said, "Do you really think Brother Hu is done for? Let me tell you, you’re all dreaming. It won’t be long before you realize that a few out-of-towners can’t take control of Mile City."

Jiang Ningxiang rushed over at this time, her face a mix of panic, but still mustering the courage to say, "You... you can’t mess around, or else I’m calling the police."

"Sure, go ahead and call the police. We’re Young Master Meng’s people, even if the police come, we’re not afraid." Guan Gaochao gave Jiang Ningxiang the once over, his eyes lighting up, and said, "I didn’t expect there to be such a fine girl here; this trip is really worth it."

Wang Lin extended her arm to pull Jiang Ningxiang behind her, shouting, "You’d better not touch her."

"What if I do? Brothers, this woman is yours, I’ll take the little girl," Guan Gaochao sneered lecherously, completely disregarding Wang Lin, reaching towards Jiang Ningxiang’s face.

"Ah!" Jiang Ningxiang screamed, ducking behind Wang Lin.

"How dare you!" With a roar, Brother Hu charged out. Guan Gaochao instinctively withdrew his hand and retreated a few steps, hiding behind his lackeys. Even if Brother Hu’s power had waned, his commanding presence remained, causing Guan Gaochao to back off on instinct.

Brother Hu glared at Guan Gaochao, his eyes filled with ferocity, bellowing, "Look at you, Guan Gaochao, you little scoundrel, daring to challenge me here today."

Guan Gaochao had been frightened only momentarily and now puffed out his chest, saying, "So what if I challenge you here? Times have changed. Do you think you still hold your former glory? Let me tell you, you better keep your tail between your legs, or you’ll regret it."

"Is that so? What if I don’t cooperate?" Brother Hu stepped forward, his fists cracking.

"If you don’t know what’s good for you, then I won’t be polite anymore. Brothers, beat him up!" Guan Gaochao had come here specifically to get back at Brother Hu. With Brother Hu present, he couldn’t ask for more, so what he wanted most now was to beat Brother Hu up, then mess with Brother Hu’s woman, to vent out his pent-up frustration.

"Thinking of beating me? You’ll have to wait a few more years for that," Brother Hu roared, charging at the six thugs. Brother Hu knew some martial arts; not advanced, but more than enough to handle a few regular guys.

And these days, he had always been holding back a burst of anger, now that these people had come, it was just the opportunity for him to vent, especially with Li Yifei here. If he couldn’t even deal with a few underlings, how was he supposed to continue being the boss? So, he fought with even greater ferocity.

Guan Gaochao thought that bringing six men would be enough to get the upper hand over Brother Hu, who currently had no underlings with him. However, to his surprise, Brother Hu fought with such ferocity that instead of gaining the upper hand, his six-on-one assault made them retreat in embarrassment.

"Grab your weapons, cripple him for me," roared Guan Gaochao furiously.

The six thugs all pulled out their daggers at once, and Brother Hu’s advantage was immediately reversed. Even though Brother Hu was fierce, he could take on one knife-wielding thug without fear, and even had a chance against two. But against six, he was completely outmatched.

"Ah! Knives... they have knives!" Jiang Ningxiang cried out loud, trembling all over in fear.

Wang Lin was also trembling with fear at this moment. Faced with such a situation, she suddenly lost her nerve. She really wanted to call for Li Yifei’s help but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

"Brother Hu, it looks like you’ll need to train harder in the future. Although it’s normal for a boss to have underlings, you’ve got to have the ability to protect yourself."

"Young Master Li, I..." At this moment, Brother Hu was filled with extreme shame. Now facing a few thugs and not being able to resolve it, he felt pathetic as a boss.

"I’ll take care of them for you first," said Li Yifei as soon as he finished speaking. He casually walked into the fray. His two underlings, one from the left and one from the right, swung their daggers at Li Yifei, but they didn’t even see how he moved. They just felt severe pain in their chests and then their bodies were sent flying until they hit the ground, and excruciating pain made them scream.

Li Yifei moved seamlessly, and in the blink of an eye, all six thugs were thrown out by him and couldn’t get up from the ground.

"You take care of the rest," Li Yifei said, and then smiled at Wang Lin, "Sister-in-law, I’m still waiting for your side dish for the drink."

This address of "sister-in-law" made Wang Lin’s heart blossom with joy. She quickly agreed and ran happily into the kitchen.

Li Yifei then turned around and went back into the private room. How Brother Hu dealt with Guan Gaochao, he did not want to concern himself with. These were the types of matters he did not want to get involved in initially. All he needed was to help Brother Hu rise up and work for him.

Brother Hu turned to look at Jiang Ningxiang and said, "Go keep Young Master Li company."

Jiang Ningxiang quickly agreed and ran into the private room, still tremulous. Upon entering, her legs were still a bit shaky, and she immediately collapsed onto a chair.

Li Yifei smiled at Jiang Ningxiang and poured her a cup of tea, handing it over to her, "Drink some water to calm your nerves."

"It was really terrifying," said Jiang Ningxiang as she took the cup, her hand still shaking, and a bit of water spilled from the cup. After drinking two sips, she finally settled down a bit.

Li Yifei looked at the girl and truly had no intentions towards Jiang Ningxiang. However, having met her a few times, he considered it a kind of fate, and said, "Society is indeed very complex. You, as a young girl, if it’s not necessary, better just focus on studying well in school."

Jiang Ningxiang lowered her head and whispered, "I... I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. I just wanted to earn some living expenses during the holidays."

"Sigh, here’s what we’ll do, for this holiday stay here, and during the winter break come work at my company, at least that way you won’t be harassed."

"Ah... but I don’t know anything... I’m not even qualified... to be a nanny at your house."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "It’s not that you’re not qualified; it’s just that the housekeepers at my home are all long-term employees, and besides, you’re still too young and should focus on your studies. Being a nanny would be a waste of your talent."

"Thank you, Brother Li. Thank you so much, you’re really a good person," Jiang Ningxiang thanked him repeatedly.

"Haha, receiving a ’good person’ card, alright, no need to be polite. I guess I’ve done a good deed, accumulating some virtue for my children," Li Yifei chuckled.
