Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

"Thud!"

After a dull thud, Li Zhao's eyes rolled upward, and his whole body fell backward limply like a wad of cotton.

"Boss!"

Those lackeys all rushed forward to support him, and Li Zhao slowly regained consciousness.

Chen Lan in the inner room was also startled seeing this, while Jiang Wenyu still kept a cold face, his eyes full of rage.

"You... you..."

Li Zhao had taken a blow to the head; although Jiang Wenyu basically hadn't used much force, he still felt dizzy, and for a moment his speech was somewhat stammering. Supported by several lackeys, he stood up and pointed furiously at Jiang Wenyu, finally managing to force out a single fluent sentence.

"You... you hit me again? Good for you, Jiang Wenyu... g-get... get him killed for me!"

As his words fell, the several lackeys beside him didn't move at all.

"What are you waiting for, get him!" Li Zhao shouted angrily.

"Bo... Boss..." one lackey, cold sweat all over, looked cautiously around.

It turned out that during their quarrel, quite a few people had actually gathered around; more and more people, mostly onlookers, but they had also started pointing fingers at Li Zhao and the others.

Li Zhao's face also changed; causing a commotion in a crowded place was indeed a bit troublesome. He unwillingly gritted his teeth, stared dead at Li Zhao and Chen Lan inside, and said through gritted teeth: "Good... very good... Jiang Wenyu, you're capable, fine... we'll wait and see!"

Leaving those words, Li Zhao left the crowd quickly supported by several lackeys; the surrounding onlookers also dispersed after Li Zhao and the others left, only some neighbors who usually had a good relationship with them came forward to ask Jiang Wenyu about the situation; after sending off the neighbors, Jiang Wenyu sighed and returned to the house.

Chen Lan's complexion wasn't too good either; only now did she dare put down Nuan Nuan in her arms; the little girl was actually quite calm.

The two looked at each other, obviously both thinking of something.

Given Li Zhao's personality, after this he obviously wouldn't let the matter rest, but Jiang Wenyu didn't regret it; insulting Chen Lan was what he could least tolerate.

And Chen Lan had also seen that scene just now; although moved inside, more of it was still worry. But she didn't speak first, instead waiting for Jiang Wenyu.

After a long moment Jiang Wenyu took a deep breath and said: "For these days you go back to your parents' place and stay a few days first; I'll stay at Li Chen's for these days, and after a while I'll go find a house."

Chen Lan heard this but replied decisively: "I'm not going back!"

Jiang Wenyu persuaded: "This is for your and Nuan Nuan's safety."

Chen Lan still shook her head firmly and said: "I just don't believe he can do anything to me; it's broad daylight, would they really have that much guts?"

In fact, Li Zhao's guts were indeed not big; he was completely relying on having connections in both the underworld and legitimate circles to be this arrogant, but he indeed didn't dare do much in daytime; but as the saying goes, one cannot be without a guard against others. Now moving away as soon as possible was the only countermeasure.

"You really aren't willing to go back and stay a couple days?" Jiang Wenyu asked again.

Chen Lan still shook her head very straightforwardly, saying somewhat resentfully: "They all look down on you, and I don't want to deal with them..."

"But those are your family."

Chen Lan still said firmly: "I said I'm not going back means I'm not going back!"

Seeing Chen Lan so insistent, Jiang Wenyu instead felt a bit happy; this meant she had already completely trusted him, but it wasn't a long-term solution; the relationship between him and Chen Lan's family would have to be faced sooner or later.

After this the two also discussed some things, like not going out at night, Jiang Wenyu picking up and dropping off Chen Lan for work morning and evening, etc.; although it would be more tiring, this was also the helpless way for ordinary people like them.

"Damn, this is too arrogant!" The next day, after telling the matter to Li Chen, he was also very angry.
