Qin Chuan remained unfazed, his expression cold.
Just then, a figure shot out from his side, colliding with the man.
This figure was Yao Dong!
Both parties were clearly skilled fighters. Fists met flesh, striking with fierce power. In the blink of an eye, a fierce exchange ensued, with several punches thrown, dazzling the onlookers.
In the final blow, Yao Dong and the man's fists landed on each other's chests. Yao Dong's sturdy frame remained as steady as a mountain, while the other man let out a muffled groan from his throat, a pained expression on his face as he stumbled back two steps.
However, his eyes became even more ferocious, like a wolf's, fixed on Yao Dong.
"Who are you?"
"I've never seen you before!"
The man spoke, his voice low, like a startled wild wolf.
"An nobody, not worth the notice of Boss Guo's number one hitter, Brother Lang!"
Yao Dong said slowly, his expression calm, but it sounded like mockery rather than praise.
The man opposite was no ordinary character. He was the renowned Hungry Wolf, known as Brother Lang, the strongest fighter under Guo Guang.
In the entire Yongnan County, anyone who had ever dabbled in the underworld knew this name.
Yet, at this moment, the famous Hungry Wolf had suffered a setback at the hands of an unknown nobody, and it seemed he was significantly outmatched.
This scene astonished many onlookers, and the previously arrogant demeanor of the henchmen turned into expressions of disbelief and uncertainty.
When did Li Ya acquire such a formidable fighter by her side?
Guo Guang, who had just been kicked by Qin Chuan, also looked grave. His deep eyes scanned Yao Dong's face repeatedly, then shifted to Qin Chuan and Li Ya, turning into a cold sneer.
"So this is your trump card, you've recruited an extraordinary expert!"
Guo Guang said sinisterly.
"But Li Ya, my dear niece, no matter how skilled he is, how many can one man fight?"
"You must give me an explanation today!"
As Guo Guang's voice fell, his henchmen behind him took a synchronized step forward, their aggressive aura pressing down on Li Ya's side, causing many workers to look panicked.
Compared to these men who lived by fighting, the workers were clearly at a disadvantage, even though the numbers were roughly equal.
Only Li Ya, Qin Chuan, and Zheng Chengdao and Bai Xiaoguang standing at the very back remained unfazed, their expressions as calm as still water.
"I don't understand what you're saying, Boss Guo!"
"An explanation? Have I, Li Ya, done anything wrong that requires me to explain to you?"
Since the situation had escalated, with no room to retreat, Li Ya finally let go, completely regaining her usual calm and decisive demeanor. Her exquisitely beautiful face was icy cold.
"What did you do last night? Don't you know!!"
"My son is still lying in the hospital!"
Guo Guang seemed surprised that Li Ya denied it and became utterly enraged.
Last night, he had received a call from his son and, rushing over with his men, witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.
His only beloved son had his leg broken and was lying on the ground like a dog, unable to stand.
His wife had completely broken down, sobbing hysterically as she held their injured son, and quickly arranged for him to be sent to the hospital.
After a night of intensive treatment, the bone had finally been mended.
Through his son's words, Guo Guang learned that Li Ya was responsible for all this, seeking revenge for the damage to her flagship store.
Guo Guang was both shocked and furious. He had never expected that a woman he had always kept subdued and at his mercy would dare to act with such audacity.
Seeing that his son's condition was stable at the hospital, the enraged Guo Guang immediately led a large contingent of men to the flagship store to settle the score with Li Ya.
What he hadn't expected was that Li Ya would completely deny it.
"Boss Guo, I truly don't know what you're talking about. What happened to your precious son? Why is he in the hospital?"
Li Ya feigned an innocent expression.
Seeing this, Guo Guang's veins bulged on his forehead with anger. "Are you trying to deny responsibility for your actions?"
He wanted to reveal the incident of his son's leg being broken last night, but there were too many people gathered around. If he spoke of it, it would be his Guo family that would be shamed.
This frustration made him incredibly uncomfortable!
Guo Guang didn't know how many years it had been since anyone had angered him this much…
"Boss Guo, your words are inappropriate. What do you mean by denying responsibility?"
Li Ya retorted with a cold laugh. "You've come at the right time today. I've been wanting to ask you about something!"
"Was it your Guo family that instigated the malicious vandalism and paint-splattering at my flagship store?"
As she spoke, Li Ya pointed to the storefront of the flagship store not far away.
It was still incredibly dirty and chaotic, the roller shutter covered in colorful paint, and the sign on the storefront was also in disarray, a sight too terrible to behold.
"Nonsense!"
"What evidence do you have to prove that my Guo family was behind it?"
Guo Guang cursed almost without hesitation.
Li Ya's pretty face grew colder, her expression filled with frost. Her side had irrefutable evidence, yet Guo Guang shamelessly denied it.
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that your son's hospitalization has anything to do with me?"
Li Ya shot back with a cold smile.
This time, Guo Guang was truly left speechless by her retort. He angrily pointed at Li Ya's nose and cursed, "Good! Good! I never imagined that someone from the Li family would amount to something! And a woman at that!"
"Since you've chosen such an extreme way to oppose me, then let's play this out properly and see who ultimately destroys whom, you or me, making you infamous!"
"I refuse to believe that you'll always have someone protecting you!"
Guo Guang's last sentence was a blatant threat, his face contorted with ferocity.
Li Ya's heart skipped a beat from the fierceness in Guo Guang's eyes, and she couldn't help but want to step back. She knew very well that Guo Guang was also a ruthless character who had engaged in many shady dealings.
But suddenly, a warm, strong hand appeared on her back, supporting her and preventing her from retreating.
Li Ya looked back and saw Qin Chuan giving her an encouraging look. The panic in her heart instantly disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of security.
"Boss Guo, I want to say the same thing to you!"
This time, it was Qin Chuan who spoke, his eyes like knives, directly confronting Guo Guang.
As a man, how could he stand by and watch his woman be threatened without taking action?
Was he even a man then!!
"This time is just a simple lesson, to teach your Guo family that your competitive methods are too despicable and underhanded!"
"If you escalate this, we won't hesitate to raise the stakes. Let's see whose methods are crueler!! After all, we all have families, especially you, with only one precious son..."
Buzz!!
As Qin Chuan finished speaking, everyone on Guo Guang's side was deeply provoked. Their fierce glares conveyed an intense desire to tear Qin Chuan apart.
As for Guo Guang himself, his reaction was even more violent. His eyes blazed as he stared intently.
It was this young man who had kicked him just now, and his stomach still ached terribly...
