Chapter 599: Chapter 618 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

Wang Xiaojuan breathed a sigh of relief, but her impression of Li Yifei worsened. How could someone like him be reliable? She really didn’t understand how Michelle could be so charmed by him. Regardless, she was indeed grateful to Li Yifei for his help.

However, no sooner had the three of them left the store than Li Yifei headed straight into a security shop across the street, and Michelle actually followed him in.

"Michelle, what are you guys doing now?" Wang Xiaojuan hurried to catch up with Michelle and asked in a low voice.

Michelle chuckled and said, "Shopping, of course. That’s what we came out to do today."

Wang Xiaojuan said anxiously, "What more do you need to buy? Didn’t you hear that Su Lingling has already gone to find people to come here? You should leave quickly. If her people arrive, you won’t be able to get away."

The smile on Michelle’s face grew wider as she said, "It’s okay."

"What do you mean it’s okay? Su Lingling isn’t kidding. She really knows some tough gangsters, and when they fight, they don’t care about life or death. You should really leave."

Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji followed them to the entrance and said to Wang Xiaojuan, "Think you can leave just like that? It won’t be so easy." They had made up their minds; if they couldn’t directly stop them, they would follow Li Yifei and his group. As long as they didn’t lose track of them, they’d still be able to take care of them later.

With a heavy heart, Wang Xiaojuan said to Su Lingling, "Treat me however you want, I’ll accept it, but they have nothing to do with this. If you have an issue, just come at me."

Su Lingling snorted and said, "You won’t escape either. I won’t let you off so easily, but that brat has gotten on my nerves, and I’ll take care of him just the same."

Clenching her fist, Wang Xiaojuan said sternly, "Su Lingling, all you want is to see me admit I’m wrong, to humiliate me, right? Well then, I—I’ll kneel for you. Are you satisfied now?"

Laughing heartily, Su Lingling said, "Fine. If you kneel before me, I’ll consider letting that kid off. But this doesn’t settle our matter."

"Fine! I’ll kneel!" Tears of humiliation welling in her eyes, Wang Xiaojuan was actually about to kneel before Su Lingling as her legs started to bend.

Michelle quickly reached out to stop Wang Xiaojuan, while Li Yifei had not expected Wang Xiaojuan to be so loyal. Michelle making such a friend was really not bad, and he felt even more resolved to help her. "Michelle, let’s continue shopping; don’t bother with that crazy woman."

Michelle promptly pulled Wang Xiaojuan into the shop.

Su Lingling scoffed, "Wang Xiaojuan, it’s not that I didn’t give you a chance. You just don’t appreciate it. So don’t blame me later."

At this moment, Wang Xiaojuan was stomping her feet in frustration, saying, "Michelle, how can you also become so irrational now?"

Michelle held on to Wang Xiaojuan’s arm tightly and said, "Xiaojuan, as your friend, I will definitely help you. Don’t worry, with Brother Li here, nothing will happen. He will certainly help you, right, Brother Li?"

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Since you’ve spoken, can I stand by and do nothing? You having such a friend, I’m happy for you too."

Michelle immediately beamed a sweet smile, while Wang Xiaojuan felt that Li Yifei, no longer carrying the air of a gangster, now had the composure of a man, providing a sense of security that confused her even more. Who was this man really?

Li Yifei didn’t take Su Lingling and Zheng Mingji seriously, selecting items with Michelle in the shop. He found the equipment that the company needed the most and soon negotiated with the shop owner, settling on goods worth 240,000 yuan.

The shop owner had been worried when he saw Li Yifei arguing at the door, but he didn’t expect to close such a large deal so quickly. He was grinning from ear to ear.

Boss Qian, who was also standing at the door, was now filled with regret. These were the real buyers, and to boot, they were big spenders. Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji, despite their previous bravado, were now just preoccupied with their quarrel, ignoring him—the deal was obviously not going to happen.

Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji also noticed that Li Yifei had made a deal and were extremely surprised. Someone who could purchase hundreds of thousands worth of security equipment had to be from a significant company, and one capable of making decisions on the spot couldn’t be an ordinary security guard, could they?

Both harbored some doubts, but when they saw Li Yifei in his security uniform and were consumed by anger, they dismissed their suspicions and just waited for people to come and deal with Li Yifei.

Just then, a van came tearing down the street and stopped in front of the shop. About a dozen young men in their twenties rushed out of the vehicle.

Su Lingling’s spirits lifted as she hurried to meet them and pointed at Li Yifei, who was walking out of the shop, "Big Brother Bing, it’s him."

The soldier brother waved his hand, and without another word, a group of people charged at Li Yifei.

Michelle immediately pulled a frightened and pale Wang Xiaojuan back into the shop. Even if there were about a dozen of them, she was not worried at all.

At this point, Wang Xiaojuan anxiously said, "What do we do, what do we do? Let’s call the police."

With a slight smile, Michelle said, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Meanwhile, outside, the fight had already erupted. Those dozen or so people were just some small-time hooligans who were quite familiar with group fights, but they only had the advantage of daring to strike and a decent physique, with no real fighting power. In front of Li Yifei, they were like paper mâché, and if Li Yifei wanted, he could take them all down in less than a minute without breaking a sweat.

But Li Yifei didn’t do that. He sidestepped a punch from one of the guys and then lightly nudged with his shoulder. That guy didn’t even know what hit him, suddenly lunging forward and throwing a punch that hit Su Lingling in the face.

There was a "thump" as Su Lingling screamed. She hadn’t anticipated such a thing happening and didn’t dodge in time. The thug’s punch was quite powerful, almost knocking her down, leaving her seeing stars and crying out in pain while clutching her face.

"I’m sorry!" The thug hadn’t finished apologizing when another one charged forward, his uplifted foot landing right on Su Lingling’s rear, sending her tumbling forward in a face-plant. Although she didn’t hit her front teeth, her lips burst open and bled.

And that wasn’t the end of it. Two other hooligans staggered Zhao Mingji with a punch each, sending him reeling to the ground.

"Are you stupid, why are you hitting us?" Zheng Yuling struggled to get up and immediately started cursing loudly.

But what she met was the backside of one of the thugs, who sat down right on her face, sending her crashing back to the ground.

These hooligans were also utterly confused about what was going on. They were clearly trying to attack Li Yifei, but they never hit him, and then, as if they were bumped or pushed by Li Yifei, they would uncontrollably charge toward Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji.

Moreover, this kept happening repeatedly. The dozen or so hooligans would get up and charge at Li Yifei, only to quickly end up by Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji again, either hitting them or falling on top of them.

For Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji, they became the human punching bags for these hooligans. In the blink of an eye, they were beaten to a bruised and battered state, with several people piled on top of them like a stack of logs, nearly suffocating them. Even if they wanted to curse, they couldn’t get the words out.

For people like Su Lingling and Zhao Mingji, Li Yifei wanted to deal with them but didn’t bother to do it personally. Letting these thugs beat them up was a hassle-free and enjoyable outcome for him.

Wang Xiaojuan watched, dumbfounded, while Michelle eyed Li Yifei with admiration, wishing she could throw herself into his arms.

The onlookers were also stunned at this point. A dozen people, all experienced in fighting, usually the ones beating others, now flattened by just one person was beyond their imagination.

"What’s going on here?" At that moment, a group of people arrived. Some of them saw the fight going on and immediately came over to ask what was happening.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, it’s Mingji!" Zhao Mingji called out right away.

"Mingji... Who are you people? Let him go, now!" Uncle Lin shouted loudly, thinking the hooligans had Zhao Mingji pinned down and that they were the ones who had beaten him up.

The hooligans quickly scrambled to their feet, realizing this group appeared to be officials and dispersed immediately.

Several people rushed to help Zhao Mingji and Su Lingling up. Both of them were in a sorry state, covered in dust, with bruises all over their faces. Especially Su Lingling, who had a split lip with blood still at the corner of her mouth, looked extremely pitiable.

"What are you doing, getting into a fight like this? Don’t worry, I know one of them. I’ll ask Uncle Lin from the Qingping County Committee Office to find them for you." Uncle Lin worked at the Qingping County Committee Office and was in the same department as Zheng Mingji, so they were quite familiar. And because of Zhao Mingji’s father, Uncle Lin was also somewhat polite to Zhao Mingji.

Seeing official authorities had arrived, Su Lingling quickly became arrogant again. Li Yifei could fight, right? If the thugs couldn’t handle him, then they would just have to turn to the authorities. It would be too easy to get a few police officers to take Li Yifei into custody.

"Uncle Lin, it wasn’t those people who hit us, it was this kid." Su Lingling also knew Uncle Lin and immediately pointed at Li Yifei.

"He hit you?" Uncle Lin was also bewildered. He had clearly seen a group of hooligans pressing down on Zhao Mingji and Su Lingling, so why was it Li Yifei who was accused of doing the beating?
