Bai Xi looked at Xi Li.
Xi Li nodded mutely, accepting it. In fact, he was still a little dazed. After all, he never imagined that Bai Xi, such a beautiful and slender girl, would be so formidable.
However, hearing Wang Chong talk about his sister, Xi Li thought of his family's situation over the years.
Although Wang Chong had some assets in Hai Dao City, he was naturally dissolute and not a man to be entrusted with a lifetime. If his sister truly followed him, she would undoubtedly suffer endless grievances.
Wang Chong had used this as a threat back then, saying that if they didn't marry his sister to him, their vehicle would not be allowed into Hai Dao City, which was equivalent to cutting off their family's economic lifeline. Even so, their family of four decided to resist Wang Chong to the end, absolutely refusing to let their sister fall into the tiger's den.
From then on, Wang Chong also slandered his sister, causing everyone to point fingers at her.
Because of this incident, their whole family moved out of Hai Dao City and started a small business that didn't earn much.
Heaven knows why it was so unfair, letting their already unlucky family suffer misfortune after misfortune. His sister, while moving things, sustained an injury and couldn't stop the bleeding. It was only discovered at the hospital that she had leukemia. Treatment required a bone marrow transplant, as well as a large sum for the surgery.
Therefore, he had no choice but to sneak into the city, hoping to get a high-paying job. He went to a host club, learning to sell wine like others.
Unfortunately, he wasn't good enough. He went for three days and didn't sell a single bottle.
Before, he had sneaked into the city when Wang Chong was not around. He had then left the city with the vehicle arranged by Commander Shen, and now he unexpectedly encountered them here.
Today, when Bai Xi kicked Wang Chong a few times on his behalf, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Although his sister's illness was not directly related to Wang Chong, if it weren't for his harassment, their family would not have fallen into such hardship.
Bai Xi, seeing the anger in Xi Li's eyes towards Wang Chong, kicked Wang Chong again.
This kick was perfectly placed and of moderate force, directly cracking Wang Chong's right shoulder bone, rendering his entire right arm unusable. With bones and tendons needing a hundred days to heal, this kick would leave Wang Chong crippled for at least half a year.
Wang Chong cried out in pain, "Grand Aunt, I told you truthfully, why are you hitting me again..."
Bai Xi said indifferently, "Grand Aunt doesn't seem to have said that I wouldn't hit you if you answered my questions honestly. A man's self-esteem is earned, not gained by stepping on others. Since you can't handle being rejected by a woman, I'll assume you can handle being beaten by one!"
Matters of the heart should be based on mutual consent. Those who are rejected but then slander or even harass are the most disgusting.
Wang Chong, enduring the pain in his arm, kowtowed repeatedly, "Grand Aunt, I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong. Please, Grand Aunt, spare me, spare me..."
Bai Xi looked at the person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, raising an eyebrow slightly. She didn't want to bother with him anymore and turned to Xi Li, "How do we get into the city now?"
Xi Li, seeing Wang Chong being taught a lesson, felt a bit of his pent-up anger dissipate. Hearing Bai Xi speak, he snapped back to attention, his eyes on Bai Xi glowing even brighter. "Big Sister, you are truly amazing! I want to learn from you, learn a few moves, can I?"
He was so excited that he could barely speak coherently.
Boys grew up watching hero movies, so no boy didn't admire heroes. If there was one, it was only for one reason: they hated that they couldn't be heroes.
Hearing Xi Li's praise, Bai Xi's cold gaze softened slightly. She said indifferently, "Just average, can we get into the city first?"
No one dislikes being praised, especially sincere praise, and even more so from a forthright and handsome young man. However, to explain how she did it, she could only attribute it to constant training, high-intensity training, and inhuman training.
Xi Li immediately nodded, "Right, we need to get into the city first."
Saying that, he quickly grabbed their luggage, intending to lead Bai Xi and the others into the city through the pedestrian passage.
Wang Chong, watching them turn to leave, gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with venomous light.
He was unwilling, of course he was unwilling. But he had to endure it for now, knowing he couldn't defeat Bai Xi. However, it was okay, he had a trump card. He would definitely deal with the woman who had just rejected him, trampled on him, and hurt him, and he certainly wouldn't let Xi Li and his father off the hook.
Thinking of this, he quietly pressed the call button on his waist.
This call button went directly to the city defense troops within Hai Dao City, which was real military force, equipped with guns and cannons. Even if Bai Xi were a ghost, they could blow her to smithereens.
However, it would take some time for the city defense troops to arrive, so he had to wait.
The moment the call was connected, his heart pounded violently, as if he could already see people aiming guns at these lowlifes, their expressions of regret filling his vision.
Just as he was thinking this, the city gate suddenly opened.
What greeted them was an armed team, with two cannons among them.
Xi Li's eyes widened in shock at the sight, "This is the city defense force of Hai Dao City! Why are they here all of a sudden?"
Apart from the military parade in Hai Dao City, he had never seen this city defense force before, nor had he seen their leader. Now, he saw them. A man in a tight green uniform stood on a vehicle, his gaze sharp and fixed ahead.
The man had a tall and straight posture, well-defined features, and a strong, dashing build. His slightly tanned skin revealed a hint of stubble. While the man was not exquisitely handsome, he possessed a heroic charm, especially his eyes, which held a deep foreignness. His nose was also very prominent, giving him a powerful aura.
As everyone looked at him, he also noticed the situation and frowned slightly, calling out with great presence, "What are you doing?"
As soon as he said this, Wang Chong, who had been kneeling and begging for mercy, pitiful and helpless, miraculously recovered. His leg, which had been bleeding from injury, and his arm, which had been too painful to stand up with, were now seemingly completely healed. He leaped up from the ground and rushed to the man standing on the vehicle, "Officer, help, Officer, someone forced their way into Hai Dao City, injured me, and wants to kill me!"
He had never expected that he, who had merely intended to notify the city defense troops of Hai Dao City, would have the superior officer personally lead the city defense troops here, and so quickly.
He didn't even bother to think about why they were here. His only thought was that they now had armed forces. This woman, who had dared to hurt his body and soul without knowing her limits, was doomed! All the kowtowing he had done, the apologies he had offered, the humiliation he had suffered, he would reclaim from them!
Bai Xi looked at the "medical miracle" unfolding, a scene of false accusation, her gaze indifferent.
She had long seen the malice in Wang Chong's eyes and knew he wouldn't give up easily. She had intended to enter Hai Dao City, settle into their booked room, get her tired mother settled, and then call Shen Mingxun to handle the situation. But she hadn't expected... he would "resurface" so quickly. In that case, she would have to deal with it now.
