He kicked again and the two men held Li Chonglou tightly, rendering him unable to move.
A strong killing intent instantly surged in his heart, and Old Lin’s voice echoed in his mind.
“Little Li, kick their asses! Since when did we have to let guys like these bully us!”
Elder An remained silent, but he also knew that if Li Chonglou were to act, even without his cultivation, these four thugs would be dealt with in an instant.
However, Li Chonglou had his own concerns.
He had gambled that Li Chonglou wouldn’t dare to act, thinking that with the current situation in the capital, major gangs had restrained themselves considerably, and people below shouldn’t be causing trouble anymore.
But the outcome was beyond his expectations.
It was obvious that these four were not members of any gang. They were more likely hired thugs by that security guard or someone behind him.
Leaving was out of the question. By now, Sister Feng should have arrived. With her status, as long as he connected with her, everything would be fine.
Therefore, Li Chonglou quickly quelled his anger, staring coldly at the leading man.
“Still daring to glare at me?”
The man raised his hand and punched again, and Li Chonglou’s right eye immediately went black.
Old Lin in his mind couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, “Little Li, what are you doing!”
Li Chonglou said helplessly, “There’s no other way. I’m waiting for someone. With my current status, I can’t go to the police station yet.”
Yes, he was still undocumented. If he were taken away by the police at this moment, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
However, even not fighting back wasn’t a problem because many people had already noticed the situation, and some passers-by who couldn’t bear to watch had even taken out their phones.
The four men clearly noticed this too. The tattooed man immediately shouted in a low voice, “Drag him away first!”
The two men holding Li Chonglou immediately grabbed his arms and tried to pull him away. Li Chonglou frowned and used his agility to break free.
“Still daring to resist?”
At this moment, a reprimand suddenly reached the ears of the five men.
“Stop!”
Li Chonglou turned his head and was stunned.
It was Ya Lili!
Ya Lili was accompanied by Ma San. Li Chonglou had asked Ma San to follow her temporarily and had forgotten about it until now, when he saw her and remembered that he actually had a subordinate.
Ma San’s profession was still a bodyguard. Dressed in a serious black suit, even an ordinary person would know that this man was not to be trifled with.
And someone who could afford a bodyguard couldn’t be an ordinary person. Seeing this, the four men couldn’t care about anything else and turned to run.
Ya Lili walked over quickly with Ma San.
“Uncle, are you alright? Do you want me to call the police for you?”
Li Chonglou was wearing tattered clothes. The scene just now must have looked like hooligans bullying a homeless man, making him appear to be the absolute victim.
Hearing this long-lost voice, Li Chonglou couldn’t help but smile.
However, his smile now looked a bit lewd. With his blackened right eye and the blood still lingering on his nose, if one ignored what had just happened, it might lead to some misunderstanding.
“Uncle, what are you smiling about?”
Ya Lili suddenly realized that her coming over might not be a good thing. If Ma San weren’t beside her, who wouldn’t be scared by that smile!
Li Chonglou shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, thank you, young lady. It’s just a small problem, no need to call the police.”
Actually, there was no need for her to call. The onlookers who were watching from a distance had probably already called the police. Li Chonglou had even made plans to leave himself if no one showed up within another minute.
“Miss, this person looks a bit suspicious. We should go inside first.”
Ma San by her side suddenly said in a low voice. Ya Lili nodded.
“Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Uncle, you should go to the hospital.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Li Chonglou really wanted to ask her what she was doing here, but considering his current identity, he could only give up.
He hadn’t even notified Zhou Tong yet. Li Chonglou had no plans to interact with Ya Lili and the others at the moment.
“Let’s go.”
Ya Lili suddenly sighed and then turned to leave with Ma San.
This action made Li Chonglou frown slightly.
He had followed Ya Lili before, even if only for a few days, but Li Chonglou knew that Ya Lili only showed such an expression subconsciously when she encountered something difficult.
And Ma San’s words just now.
“Could someone be targeting her again?”
Li Chonglou quickly looked around, simultaneously activating his Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance ability.
As expected, in a private room of the White Gold Building, a man in green was looking this way with his hands behind his back.
Li Chonglou, realizing the other person was looking his way through a gap in the curtains, immediately pretended to be admiring the scenery and looked away.
“Hmm?”
Inside the private room, the man in green suddenly uttered a sound of doubt.
An aged voice came from behind him.
“What is it, A Cheng?”
“Nothing, I might have been mistaken.”
The man in green shook his head and looked back at Li Chonglou, who had already turned around and was looking around.
That glance from this guy just now was accidental, right? Even for a cultivator, at this distance and position, nothing should have happened.
The man in green quickly put the matter aside, and the aged voice behind him spoke again.
“By the way, what are your plans for that girl from the Ya family? Are you really waiting for her reply?”
The man in green said calmly, “What else?”
“A Cheng, it’s not that I’m saying this, but a man who wants to do great things must be ruthless. With our current strength, can’t we force her to make a decision?”
A cold smile suddenly appeared on the man in green’s face. Although the room was dimly lit and his full appearance couldn’t be seen, it could be vaguely discerned that he was a handsome man.
However, this cold smile instantly changed his demeanor.
“I prefer things to be proactive. It’s not very comfortable to force them.”
“You, sigh, A Cheng, you should prioritize your career. This is the only chance your family has had in hundreds of years. The family head has placed all his hopes on you.”
The man in green’s voice suddenly became cold: “Don’t talk to me about these things. I only do what I like to do. If you can’t wait, do it yourselves. Don’t try to pressure me into being your tool.”
The aged voice no longer responded, only letting out a deep sigh.
On the other side, after activating his Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance ability, Li Chonglou not only discovered that Ya Lili seemed to be targeted by someone but also gained an unexpected reward.
Sister Feng was already sitting in a small car several hundred meters behind him.
Is she observing me?
Was that security guard also her subordinate?
Li Chonglou instinctively looked at the security guard again, who was staring at him with a trace of anger.
This didn’t look like an act.
Then what was she looking at?
Li Chonglou pretended to be looking for someone, but his mind was entirely focused on this question.
A minute passed quickly. Li Chonglou didn’t wait even a second longer and turned to leave.
