Yao Yue stepped forward, “Come, beg me for mercy, and I’ll say a few good words to my second uncle on your behalf. Who knows, maybe he’ll let you keep both your legs and arms.”

“Yao Yue, even if you begged me for mercy, I wouldn’t spare your legs or arms; I’d definitely kill you,” Xu Chaomu retaliated tooth for tooth.

“You! Brother Yin, give her a thrashing, no more bullshit!” Yao Yue turned to her second uncle’s bodyguard and ordered.

“Yes, Miss Yao.”

The bodyguard advanced, swinging a punch. Having been caught off guard before and kicked twice by Shen Chi, he was frustrated.

This punch was delivered with full force, aimed straight at Xu Chaomu’s delicate face.

Xu Chaomu quickly covered her eyes, frightened, and stumbled back two steps. Like a small cat, she jumped and hid behind Shen Chi’s tall figure.

Shen Chi stood firm as a pine. When the bodyguard’s punch came swinging in, he didn’t move; he just extended his right hand and precisely grabbed the bodyguard’s wrist.

A crisp “snap” resounded, heard by everyone.

“Ah!” The bodyguard’s scream of horror pierced the sky.

“Snap” “Snap.”

Shen Chi showed no mercy, twisting the man’s wrist with such powerful force that it was instantly crippled!

“Scram!”

He spat out the chilling words, his face cold and solitary, a ruthless chill flashing in his obsidian hawk-like eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw the man several meters away. Clutching his broken wrist, the man was in excruciating pain, his face contorted gruesomely.

“Ah!” Lying on the ground, the man howled in agony, his legs twitching, veins bulging on his face.

Under the pleasant sunlight, Shen Chi’s towering figure perfectly shielded Xu Chaomu, who was so scared that she clung to Shen Chi’s clothes and refused to let go.

She knew that Shen Chi had practiced Taekwondo since he was young and was already a black belt. When she was a child, she also practiced with Shen Chi, but she just watched him instead of concentrating on her own training.

Latterly, she didn’t learn a thing.

Shen Chi was several levels above her when it came to fighting.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, falling onto Shen Chi’s sharply chiseled face, which looked cold, solitary, and exceptionally attractive.

Frightened, Yao Yue quickly hid behind her second uncle and asked in a low voice, “Second Uncle, what should we do?”

“Who is this man?” Her second uncle asked, looking perplexed.

Yao Yue shook her head, “I don’t know, someone who sticks his nose into other people’s business, perhaps?”

“Impossible,” her second uncle, after all, was used to such scenes.

Xu Chaomu was still hiding behind Shen Chi when he reached back and touched her, smiling slightly, “Come out.” “I’m scared,” Xu Chaomu shook her head.

“Scared of what?” Shen Chi asked her leisurely.

But the girl hid behind Shen Chi, refusing to come out. Shen Chi pulled hard, dragging her to his side.

“Scared you can’t beat them,” Xu Chaomu giggled.

“So little confidence in your fourth brother?” Shen Chi looked down at her, the ferocity and sternness had faded, replaced by modesty and warmth.

“Fourth Brother, wait for me,” Xu Chaomu squeezed her eyes at him and suddenly ran off.

Shen Chi narrowed his eyes, wondering what the girl was up to.

“Brother,” Yao Yue’s second uncle stepped forward, speaking with righteous indignation, “You hurt my bodyguard today. I don’t want to fuss over that. However, the girl just now scratched my car; aren’t you going to give me an explanation for that?”

Shen Chi lifted his eyes, covered with a layer of frost, “Are the injuries on

Chaomu’s face caused by you guys?”

“Brother, why don’t you first talk about how you plan to compensate for the money?”

“I’m asking you fuckers a question!” Shen Chi raised his voice coldly.

This cry stunned everyone present.

After a few seconds of shock, Yao Yue’s second uncle, who was no pushover, retorted, “So what if it is? You want to fight? Come on, I’ll stay with you to the end!”

“Getting physical with you would dirty my hands, ” Shen Chi glanced at him.

Just then, Xu Chaomu came with a basin of water from who knows where, filled to the brim.

“Fourth brother, make way for me.”

Shen Chi lifted his eyes, his narrow, attractive eyes narrowed further.

“Splash!”

A whole basin of cold water was poured over Yao Yue and her uncle, not a drop spared!

Yao Yue jumped up at once, like a startled poodle. She was completely soaked from head to toe, her hair clinging to her body, dripping water continuously.

It was still spring, and a basin of cold water had chilled Yao Yue to the point of chattering teeth. The damp clothes stuck to her body, making her look like a drowned dog.

“Xu Chaomu, you’re seeking death!” Yao Yue cursed while wringing the water from her clothes.

“Achoo!” “Achoo!”

She sneezed several times in a row, shivering from the cold. Her sticky hair clung to her face, her eyes wide with fury, her cheeks deathly pale.

In haste, she stripped off her jacket, leaving just a white camisole that clung to her well-developed body due to the wetness; she didn’t care about her image anymore. After removing her jacket, the camisole outlined her curves closely.

Compared to Yao Yue’s panic, her uncle was much calmer.

He wiped the cold water off his face, shook his hands, his face a map of flesh, but he didn’t act recklessly.

“Shameless,” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly.

Stripping in broad daylight.

Xu Chaomu jumped to Shen Chi’s side, tiptoeing to cover his eyes.

“Don’t look,” she warned him.

These vulgar men always liked women with big chests, and Yao Yue was well endowed; what if he took a fancy to her?

Shen Chi was both amused and helpless, a face of resignation as he pried off Xu

Chaomu’s small hand: “Stop fooling around.”

“Fourth brother, you’re shameless too, liking women with big chests,” Xu Chaomu pouted.

“What else should I look at then, you?” Shen Chi retorted without any scruples.

He looked down at her, the girl’s face full of jealousy, her cheeks puffed up and red like cherries.

He couldn’t help but reach out to touch her face; her mouth corners seemed a bit swollen. He had seen the man hit her.

He had failed to protect her, and a twinge of self-reproach swept through his heart.

It was like that unripe green apple, with its astringent taste spreading through his heart, pervasive and lingering…

Xu Chaomu slapped away his hand: “Fourth brother, I’m your sister, show some respect.”

Shen Chi laughed. Was she considering him a brother now?

At this moment, Yao Yue yanked at her hair and yelled, “Uncle, you’re so gutless. Have all these years meant nothing to you?”

“Yueyue, let’s go. This man is not to be trifled with; we will have our day,” Yao Yue’s uncle whispered to her.

The man who had just been bluffing and blustering had now turned into a turtle withdrawing into its shell.

He looked at Shen Chi and felt he seemed familiar, but he couldn’t quite place where he had seen him.

Even though Shen Chi was dressed unassumingly, it couldn’t hide the aura about him. It was the kind of presence that, even lost in a sea of people, still stood out, noble and innate.

“Uncle, just look what’s become of me! And now you tell me to go? If you want to be a coward, go ahead, I won’t have an uncle like you anymore! Spineless!” Yao Yue said, splashing water in defiance.

Xu Chaomu, an orphan, what kind of dignitaries and nobles could she know? Yao Yue refused to believe it..
