Chapter 140: The Wolf’s Howl
Yu Jiahao stopped walking and turned to look at Li Zian, speaking in a faint tone, “What do you want?”
Li Zian walked toward Yu Jiahao while saying, “You caused this whole mess and now you want to leave without even an explanation? Do you really think so little of me?”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yu Jiahao’s mouth. “I’ve looked down on you since the first time I met you. Why would I think much of you?”
Second Young Master was still Second Young Master. Even though he felt a little nervous inside, he wouldn’t lose his imposing manner. When it was time to be bold and overbearing, he had to be bold and overbearing.
Li Zian stopped in front of Yu Jiahao, a gentle, sunny smile appearing on his face. “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?”
Yu Jiahao said, “You do dare, but you can’t hit me.”
Li Zian smiled again. “I’m really curious. Tell me, why can’t I hit you?”
Yu Jiahao glanced sideways at Yu Meilin and said lightly, “Yu Meilin is my sister. I am the Second Young Master of the Yu Family. You, this live-in son-in-law, haven’t even formally entered the Yu Family’s door, have you?”
Li Zian actually nodded in agreement.
Yu Jiahao was no longer nervous inside, and his expression grew calmer. “If you hit me, how will Yu Meilin establish herself in the Yu Family? The Yu Family will no longer see her as family, and you will never enter the Yu Family’s door. Even Grandma will dislike you because you hit her grandson. Think carefully. If you hit me for a moment of satisfaction, how much will you lose? Do you even want to keep the rice bowl you’re holding?”
This time, he was more polite. He didn’t say “living off a woman,” but “rice bowl.”
“What you say seems reasonable, but can you represent everyone in the Yu Family?” Li Zian retorted.
Yu Jiahao said, “I am Yu Jiahao. Of course I can.”
Li Zian smiled, raised his hand, and pointed at Yu Meilin. “Can you represent her?”
Yu Jiahao was immediately stunned.
Li Zian said, “Let me tell you, only one person with the surname Yu has a say here, and that’s Meilin. Besides her, no one with the surname Yu matters to me, and I don’t care. Is the Yu Family’s door some kind of dragon gate that I’m so eager to enter? Now I’ll ask one person with the surname Yu. If she says not to hit you, I won’t hit you. If she nods, I’ll beat you up. I really want to beat the crap out of you, you bastard.”
Yu Jiahao was furious. “What did you call me?”
Li Zian turned his head and said, “Meilin, I want to hit him, but you decide. If you say no, I won’t hit him. If you nod, I’ll hit him.”
“I…” Yu Meilin hesitated. She hadn’t expected Li Zian to put her in such a position in front of Yu Jiahao. It made her feel very troubled and passive.
After all, Yu Jiahao was Second Uncle’s precious son and had prestige in the Yu Family second only to the three elder generations. If she nodded to let Li Zian hit Yu Jiahao, the Yu Family would really see her as a rebel. Her relationship with the Yu Family was already bad enough; this would make it impossible to go back.
Kun Li furrowed her brows. She also didn’t understand why Li Zian was making Yu Meilin decide this, but she didn’t say anything.
Li Zian offered no explanation and just looked at Yu Meilin.
He wasn’t unaware that this would make things difficult and put Yu Meilin in a passive position, but he did it anyway.
He had his own reasons.
Yu Jiahao had brought so many suit-clad thugs to cause trouble, aiming to beat him up, and bullying him because he was a live-in son-in-law who wouldn’t dare retaliate. He wanted to know who was more important in Yu Meilin’s heart: him, her husband, or Yu Jiahao and the Yu Family relatives.
There was another reason: he wanted to figure out what kind of woman Yu Meilin really was.
All along, Yu Meilin had given him the impression of a strong career woman who would pay any price for her business. Her taking him in as a live-in son-in-law was one of the prices she paid, and even Li Xiaomei could be considered part of that price.
He had once divined a hexagram for her, and the hexagram interpretation defined her as “Empress.” Since she was an empress, she should have the personality of an empress. Yu Jiahao bullying her and insulting her husband was the same as insulting her. If this empress hesitated and feared this and that, what kind of empress was she? If the other side came to her door to beat her husband, and in such a situation she still didn’t allow him to hit Yu Jiahao, then it would mean that the recent signs of “reconciliation” she showed were fake, and he, her husband, truly meant nothing to her.
“Haha…” Yu Jiahao laughed, his voice filled with scorn and disdain. “I told you, she doesn’t dare to hit me. You’re just finding a way to save face. Hitting me—whether it’s her or you—you both have to think about the consequences.”
Li Zian didn’t respond, only calmly watched Yu Meilin.
To hit or not to hit, you decide.
In the distance, police sirens sounded. The police were coming.
Yu Jiahao relaxed even more and smiled more happily. “Now you have another way to save face, and you don’t have to trouble my sister anymore. I’m leaving, but this isn’t over. I’ll talk to you and make things clear.”
Yu Meilin suddenly spoke, “Zian, if you get locked up, I’ll bring you meals.”
The smile on Yu Jiahao’s face instantly froze.
But Li Zian smiled.
She really was an empress. He knew very well how difficult this decision was for her, yet she didn’t hesitate for long and even considered bringing him meals.
Li Zian turned to look at Yu Jiahao, his eyes instantly turning cold.
Yu Jiahao had been calm and composed just moments before, but seeing Li Zian’s expression, he immediately felt weak and scared. “The police are here. You… you dare hit me?”
Li Zian suddenly swung his hand, slapping toward Yu Jiahao’s face.
I’m hitting you, you bastard!
Yu Jiahao instinctively raised his arm to block.
But his outcome was the same as Ge Jun’s. The incoming slap suddenly changed trajectory mid-air, turning from a palm into a fist, coming from above and striking hard at the spot between his legs.
Thump!
Yu Jiahao’s legs lifted off the ground, and he fell heavily to the ground, curling up like a shrimp. He clutched his crotch tightly, mouth wide open but unable to make a sound.
The pain of shattered balls was truly more painful than a woman giving birth.
But before Yu Jiahao could catch his breath, Li Zian fiercely kicked his butt. The power of his entire leg gathered at the tip of his foot, aimed at his rear end. All the force landed on that tender spot.
Thump!
Amid the dull thud, Yu Jiahao finally let out a cry: “Awoo—”
Another wolf’s howl.
Two hits were enough. It was unclear whether Yu Jiahao’s balls were shattered, but for a long time afterward, he would probably have some difficulties when doing things. As for his rear end, he probably wouldn’t be able to poop for the next few days.
Li Zian stood beside Yu Jiahao, looking down at him curled on the ground, legs trembling nonstop. He said lightly, “You said I didn’t dare hit you. Who do you think you are? Are you the crown prince? You’re just a spoiled second-generation heir. I’m giving you one last warning today: if you dare cause trouble again, I’ll really mess you up.”
“Huff… huff…” Yu Jiahao gasped heavily. He wanted to kill Li Zian, but with Li Zian right beside him, he didn’t dare even point a finger at him.
“Zian.” Yu Meilin waved a hand.
Li Zian walked over. He was in a good mood. He hadn’t misjudged Yu Meilin, and she hadn’t let him down.
“The police are here. Leave quickly. I’ll handle the rest,” Yu Meilin said, looking very anxious and worried.
Li Zian said, “I can’t leave. If I leave, I’ll be in the wrong, and things will get more complicated later.”
“But…” Yu Meilin looked at the suit-clad thugs lying on the ground and Yu Jiahao, hesitating to speak. She was really worried that Li Zian would be arrested.
Li Zian smiled. “Didn’t you say if I got locked up, you’d bring me meals?”
Yu Meilin scolded, “What time is this? How can you still joke?”
Li Zian said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. If I fall, don’t help me up.”
Yu Meilin was stunned. “What did you say?”
Li Zian didn’t explain. He walked over to Ma Chuan, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
“Zian!” Yu Meilin panicked and rushed forward, but then remembered what Li Zian had just said and stopped.
She was a very smart woman. She hadn’t understood what “If I fall, don’t help me up” meant, but when Li Zian fell to the ground, she understood.
This incident was about Yu Jiahao and Ge Jun bringing twenty suit-clad thugs to the New Star Company to fight and cause trouble. Li Zian alone had taken down more than ten of them. If he were still standing there fine, it would be hard to explain to the police. But with him fallen like this, it was easy to explain.
After falling, Li Zian even rubbed his face on the ground. He was someone who valued his face dearly; this was really going all out. However, he only rubbed against the dust on the ground and the blood that had flowed from Ma Chuan’s head onto the ground. He wouldn’t go so far as to break his skin.
Ma Chuan was the one who truly went all out, directly hitting his own head with a rubber baton. His head was still bleeding.
“General Manager Li… did I… do this right?” Ma Chuan whispered.
Li Zian lowered his voice. “I’ll give you a bonus later. You know what to say when the time comes, right?”
“I know, General Manager Li, don’t worry… ouch…” Ma Chuan had already entered his role ahead of time.
The few suit-clad thugs who hadn’t been beaten watched Li Zian fall to the ground, all of them dumbfounded.
Was the King Kong Live-in Son-in-Law suffering from internal injuries?
He held out until now and finally couldn’t take it anymore?
Who the hell are you trying to fool!
Several police cars arrived at the gate. The security guard at the door didn’t even ask and opened the gate.
Over a dozen police officers got out of the cars. The officer in charge was even holding a weapon.
Yu Meilin strode forward to meet them. “Officer, they came to my company to cause trouble, injured our security guards, and even hurt my husband.”
One suit-clad thug angrily retorted, “You’re lying! It was clearly your husband who beat us!”
“You’re the one lying! You hit our Section Chief Ma first. Our General Manager Li came down to mediate, and you even hit him!”
“Our General Manager Li is still lying on the ground!”
“You even broke Section Chief Ma’s head!”
“Our Section Chief Wei was injured too!”
A large group of security guards all started talking at once.
Upstairs, employees of the New Star Company stood in the corridors, and some ran down to join the chorus of support.
The suit-clad thugs closed their mouths.
“Help… I’m dying… I can’t breathe…” Ma Chuan’s voice was very weak. Before he even finished his sentence, a stream of blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.
It was real blood.
He had bitten his tongue.
Li Zian felt a surge of respect in his heart.
This guy was really ruthless!
Then, he closed his eyes.
You all argue.
I’ll keep playing dead.
