Chapter 3

The arrogant Wang Li was instantly knocked down by my blow. This was one of the few times I had ever fought back. The stool was still trembling in my hands. Wang Li on the ground screamed in pain, but even so, it couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. I wanted to keep smashing Wang Li.

But at this moment, two or three people around Wang Li also reacted and quickly rushed over to block me. I was easily restrained by them. Wang Li on the ground came to his senses, turned his head to look at me, and said angrily, "Damn it, beat him to death for me!"

Fists and kicks from several people landed on me. After being beaten, I calmed down, but this time I didn't beg for mercy. It wasn't that I didn't want to, but I understood Wang Li. He was such a vengeful person; since I had done something so extreme this time, begging for mercy would definitely be useless.

I was beaten until I was a bit dazed, and there wasn't a single place on my body that didn't hurt. Even so, Wang Li didn't intend to let me go. He grabbed me directly, lifting me up like a chicken, while two people around me held me up so I wouldn't fall.

And the girl over there was also scared silly. I didn't expect her to save me; after all, she couldn't do anything. Saving her earlier was just a heat-of-the-moment decision. Now I just prayed she would take this opportunity to run away so my actions wouldn't be in vain.

Wang Li touched my chin, stared at me like a dead silkworm, and then slapped me hard.

"You're pretty capable, aren't you?"

Slap, then another slap.

"Like playing the hero, do you?"

"Screw it, idiot, I feel dirty even hitting you!"

After saying this, Wang Li punched me hard in the stomach again. I felt a surge in my stomach, as if something was going to come out. I wanted to hold it in but couldn't. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood sprayed out directly.

Wang Li gently wiped the blood that had splattered on him and then gave the two people beside him a look.

The two started beating me again, and my whole spirit was dazed. I vaguely saw the silly girl on the sofa actually rush over, grabbing Wang Li's arm and begging him, "Please, don't hit him, he's about to be beaten to death!"

"Screw your mother, get out of the way!" Wang Li ignored the silly girl's plea, pushed her aside, and joined the group beating me.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a very pleasant voice rang out.

I remembered, this voice was Sister Ling's, that is, the KTV's landlady, Yu Manling.

I couldn't even lift my head anymore, and my eyes were slowly becoming blurred. If I hadn't liked to exercise before, I probably would have already passed out.

"Yo, isn't this Sister Ling? What wind blew you here!" Sister Ling seemed to have backing, and it was said to be quite significant, so even the arrogant Wang Li respectfully called Yu Manling "Sister Ling." After all, even Zhang Longtao had to give Sister Ling face, let alone Wang Li.

Yu Manling looked at me in a miserable state, then at the silly girl on the sofa, and then at Wang Li and the others, saying, "A-Li, what are you doing? We're all family, why get so angry? Look, you've beaten him like this. Just let it go, give me some face, and let them go!"

"Sister Ling, you don't know, this idiot brat actually rebelled and even hit me. If I don't give him a lesson, how will people in the underworld look at me in the future?" Wang Li clearly didn't intend to let me go. My actions this time had truly angered him.

"A-Li, I've already said this much, don't go too far. You and I both know the reason for what happened. This girl is one of my people. I've given instructions before: if they agree, I naturally have nothing to say, but if they don't agree, you can't force them. You're in the wrong this time, even if it goes to Xiao Tao, I have something to say!" Yu Manling clearly was determined to protect us.

Hearing Yu Manling's words, Wang Li gritted his teeth, looked at me, then looked at the silly girl on the ground whose tear stains hadn't dried yet, and hummed, "You're lucky this time, running into Sister Ling. You won't be so lucky in the future, humph!"

After saying this, Wang Li took two people and left.

What Wang Li said wasn't actually entirely correct. Many years later, I realized that Sister Ling appearing in my life wasn't just luck.

After the two people let me go, I collapsed directly to the ground. At this moment, I was truly in so much pain that I had no strength, not even enough to support myself.

The silly girl on the ground quickly ran over to help me up and thanked Yu Manling, "Thank you, Sister Ling, thank you, Sister Ling!"

Sister Ling looked at the silly girl and sighed, "Alright, you should hurry and take him to the hospital to get checked out!"

"In the future, if you don't have the ability, don't try to play the hero. It just makes you look very low!"

I knew Sister Ling was saying this to me. I wanted to say thank you to Sister Ling, but just as I was about to open my mouth, I lost consciousness completely.

When I woke up, I found myself in a small clinic, and sitting beside me was none other than the silly girl. Seeing me wake up, the silly girl quickly said to me, "Are you okay? How do you feel now?"

I shook my head: "I'm fine. By the way, why are you here, and how did I get here?"

"You passed out earlier, and it took my colleagues and me a lot of effort to carry you to the clinic. Fortunately, the clinic isn't far from where we are!"

Hearing this, I remembered that it was because I saved her that I got beaten by Wang Li and the others.

"That, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have really!" After saying this, the silly girl couldn't help but shed tears again.

I am the type of person who hates seeing girls cry the most. As soon as I see a girl cry, I don't know what to do. I quickly said to her, "Don't cry, aren't I fine? What are you crying for?"

The silly girl lowered her head and stopped sobbing, but tears were still dripping. She poured me a glass of water. I didn't want to take it, but I was indeed very thirsty, so I took it and drank it in big gulps. After drinking a whole glass in one breath, I finally felt much more comfortable. Although my body still hurt, I felt it should be fine; after all, it was just some external injuries. I hadn't been beaten less by Wang Li and the others in the past, so I got out of bed, ready to leave.

Seeing that I was about to leave, the silly girl quickly stopped me: "What are you doing? Your body isn't better yet, where do you want to go?"

"It's fine, the hospital costs a lot of money, and these are just skin injuries, it doesn't matter. I still have to go back to work!"
