Chapter 134: The Awesome Uncle

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Awesome Uncle

"Uncle, it hurts so much!" Chu Xiaoyao, after being slapped by Li Yifei, had tears streaming down her face, but she still clung tightly to Li Yifei, refusing to let go.

"If you don’t get off me, do you want another slap?" Li Yifei’s face was stern, like a strict judge.

"No, I won’t get off. You could kill me, and I still wouldn’t let go," Chu Xiaoyao pouted with tearful eyes, her defiance extremely strong.

Li Yifei remembered girls her age were often very rebellious; if he were too tough on her, she would just resist even stronger, so he softened his tone and said, "Do you really want me to avoid you from now on whenever I see you?"

Chu Xiaoyao pouted again, then muttered quietly, "It’s your fault for being mean to me," and slowly hopped down.

Li Yifei finally relaxed a bit and then said to Xu Shanshan, "Shanshan, let’s go."

Xu Shanshan nodded her head. She wasn’t upset by Chu Xiaoyao’s impulsive reaction because she knew if she had been Xiaoyao’s age, she might have reacted the same way. She saw her past self in Xiaoyao, so far from being annoyed, she actually felt a sense of kinship.

Li Yifei was ready to leave when the thugs he had hit earlier disagreed. Now, several of them got up and blocked his way. Although they didn’t directly attack Li Yifei, one of them still said viciously, "Kid, don’t think you’re something special just because you can fight. Do you know who we work for?"

"Who do you work for?" Li Yifei asked, narrowing his eyes.

The thug proudly raised his head and said, "We’re Brother Hu’s men. You dare to hit us; you’re a dead man." As if the mention of Brother Hu gave him boundless courage, he stopped being intimidated by Li Yifei entirely.

At this moment, there were low murmurs in the bar, and everyone looked at Li Yifei with sympathetic eyes.

"These punks have such a backing; that guy’s in trouble now. Offending Brother Hu’s people, once Brother Hu comes after him, he won’t just get skinned alive."

"Yeah, even though he can fight, who do you think Brother Hu is? He’s the big boss around here, with hundreds of underlings, and his backing is solid. There’s nothing good that comes from crossing him."

Chu Xiaoyao also felt a sudden tightness in her chest. Although young, her rebellious nature meant her classmates often talked about who was tough and influential in society, and Brother Hu’s name came up often. She knew Brother Hu was a fearsome Underworld boss; Li Yifei had hit his men, and now they were really in a difficult spot.

"Uncle, what do we do?" Chu Xiaoyao clutched Li Yifei’s arm, looking pitifully at him. The trouble had started because of her, and she too was afraid of Brother Hu’s men coming after her.

Li Yifei glared at Chu Xiaoyao and said, "And you still ask me, isn’t this mess your doing?"

"But what do we do? What if they come looking for me at school? What if they smash up my house?" Chu Xiaoyao was nearly crying – a young girl like her had no idea what to do in this situation.

"Now you know to be scared?" Li Yifei said, somewhat amused as he looked at Chu Xiaoyao.

"Uncle, you’re still laughing. They’ll definitely catch me and force me to be a prostitute. I don’t want that at all. Uncle, I’d rather be your mistress than do that. Please Uncle, can I stay with you? I’m scared," she pleaded.

Li Yifei was truly at a loss for words, amazed that the girl could still say such things at a time like this. She really was hopeless.

"What’s Brother Hu or Younger Brother Hu to me? None of my business," Li Yifei certainly did not take that Brother Hu seriously, especially since he had clashed with him before. That time, because of Su Yiyi, he even gave Brother Hu a good beating.

When Li Yifei spoke dismissively of Brother Hu, the underlings immediately became indignant, pointing at him and shouting their protests.

The rest of the crowd looked at Li Yifei as if he were a fool, thinking that although he could fight, he really had no clue about the way things worked in society. Thinking that just because someone has some martial skills they could disregard anyone they pleased was simply courting death.

"Brother Hu, when did you get here?" As Li Yifei was talking to Chu Xiaoyao, the doorman shouted loudly, and the bar went quiet all at once. Everyone’s eyes turned towards the entrance; nobody had expected such a coincidence – Brother Hu showing up at the bar at that moment.

Brother Hu had come here spontaneously today, followed only by a couple of bodyguards. Upon entering and seeing the place in disarray, he frowned, his face stern as he asked, "What happened?"

This bar was under Brother Hu’s protection, and the bar owner was well acquainted with him. Had it been anyone else’s men fighting, they would have called the police by now. The owner quickly scuttled over and said, "Brother Hu, some students started fighting, but there was one person who stepped in and beat up your guys."

Brother Hu’s face darkened. He asked coldly, "Who is the blind fool that dares hit my men?"

"Brother Hu!" The underlings who just got beaten saw Brother Hu and immediately flushed with excitement. With Brother Hu present, their beating today wouldn’t be for nothing. One of them ran to Brother Hu, pointed at Li Yifei and shouted, "It was this kid who hit me. He clearly doesn’t have any respect for you, Brother Hu. We even dropped your name, but he still said all this nonsense."

Brother Hu’s complexion turned even uglier upon hearing this. Over the past few years, he had established a significant status here, and there had hardly been anyone who dared to disrespect him. The only exception had been that time when Li Yifei gave him a beating. However, not many people were involved in that incident. To save face, Brother Hu had ordered those few who knew not to talk about it, so even his own underlings were unaware that he had ever suffered such a loss.

Chu Xiaoyao, who saw Brother Hu for the first time, instinctively hid behind Li Yifei despite never meeting him before. The reputation preceded the man, and she was genuinely scared of being captured by Brother Hu and sold off to be a prostitute—a common cautionary tale among her friends about what happened to the women who crossed Brother Hu.

Xu Shanshan was also worried at this moment. Although her brother-in-law was strong, the opposing party clearly looked like the Underworld. If a conflict broke out with them, it could become never-ending trouble. Even being skilled at fighting wouldn’t help in this case, so she secretly picked up the phone and called the police.

Li Yifei also heard Xu Shanshan make the call, but he did not stop her because he believed there was no need to fight to resolve the situation.

Finally, Brother Hu noticed Li Yifei, and upon seeing him, Brother Hu’s body shuddered. He could forget anyone he had recently met, but he would never forget Li Yifei. This terrifying man was too powerful, way beyond merely being able to fight. It was excessive. Unless one had a gun, there was simply no chance of dealing with Li Yifei.

He now deeply regretted coming here today for no good reason. Caught between a rock and a hard place, he clenched his teeth, came before Li Yifei, and with a fist bow, said, "Mr. Li, my boys were blind to offend you. I apologize on their behalf."

"Gasp!" All the underlings were stunned.

The patrons in the bar who knew of Brother Hu watched in disbelief as their jaws dropped to the floor.

Chu Xiaoyao watched, dumbfounded, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, unable to close it for a long time.

Xu Shanshan’s eyes were filled with surprise and then fixated on Li Yifei. Suddenly, she felt she couldn’t see through her brother-in-law at all.

"It’s nothing, I’ve already taught them a lesson."

"Gasp!"

The underlings already stunned by the earlier events were once again dumbstruck. The jaws that had just been picked up off the ground had fallen once more. Chu Xiaoyao’s chin nearly hit the floor in shock, while Xu Shanshan’s eyes sparkled with amazement.

In their view, Brother Hu being so polite to Li Yifei meant that the two knew each other, which is why Brother Hu gave Li Yifei face. But what Li Yifei said was so audaciously confident that it seemed he didn’t take Brother Hu seriously at all. How could someone who looked so unremarkable be even tougher than Brother Hu? Could they not be shocked?

Brother Hu’s facial muscles twitched violently. At that moment, he really wanted to fight Li Yifei to the death, but he also knew that it would result only in his death and Li Yifei’s survival. So, suppressing the impulse in his heart, he forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, they lacked discipline. Thank you, Mr. Li, for teaching them a lesson for me."

"Hmm, don’t mention it. It’s a minor matter. Since these are all students and your people have hit them, you should give them some money for medical expenses."

Brother Hu’s face darkened as he said, "Of course."

"It’s not easy to run a business in this bar. For the things that got damaged, you can help compensate for your understudies too."

Brother Hu’s face grew darker and he said, "No problem."

"And our bill, have your underlings settle it as well. They’ve ruined my mood, so I won’t ask them for compensation."

"Okay!"

At this point, Brother Hu’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Since rising to power in the Underworld, he had never felt so humiliated.

Initially, Chu Xiaoyao had been very afraid of Brother Hu, but under the circumstances, how could she still be? Her head was held high; her nostrils flared as if she was the one who had made Brother Hu so compliant, not Li Yifei.

She had never felt as honored as she did today. Here was the infamous Brother Hu unable to blow his top after his men were beaten, and in the end, he had to pay the bill like a chastened grandson. Chu Xiaoyao had never felt so imposing before.

Clutching Li Yifei’s arm as if afraid he would run away made her feel secure. At that moment, she wouldn’t mind being Li Yifei’s mistress, even if it meant being number three, four, five, or seven—following such an impressive man was an honor in itself.

Those classmates who usually strutted around arrogantly now seemed like nothing but dirt in her eyes. Even at their most formidable, they wouldn’t dare to breathe too loudly in front of Brother Hu, let alone beat his men and then make Brother Hu apologize.
