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, and Wang Li on the ground was screaming in pain, but even so, it couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. I wanted to continue 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 regained his senses, turned his head to look at me, and shouted angrily, "Damn it, beat him to death for me!"

The fists and feet of several people landed on me. After being beaten this time, I had actually calmed down. However, I didn't beg for mercy this time. 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 excessive this time, begging for mercy would definitely be of no use.

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 the 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. My saving her earlier was purely a heat-of-the-moment decision. Now I only prayed that she would run away while she had the chance, so that my actions wouldn't be in vain.

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

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

Slap, followed by another slap.

"You like playing the hero saving the beauty, right?"

"Damn, idiot, I feel dirty even hitting you!"

After saying that, Wang Li punched me hard in the stomach again. I felt a surge in my stomach, as if something was about to come out. I wanted to hold it back but couldn't, and suddenly a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

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

The two started beating me again, and my whole spirit was dazed. I vaguely saw that 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!"

"Damn you, get out of the way!" Wang Li ignored the silly girl's pleas, 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 vision was slowly becoming blurry. If I hadn't liked exercising in the past, I probably would have already been unconscious.

"Yo, isn't this Sister Ling? What wind blew you here!" Sister Ling apparently had backing, and it was rumored 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 the miserable me, the silly girl on the sofa, and then at Wang Li and the others, saying, "Ah Li, what are you doing? We're all family, why get so angry? Look, you've beaten him like this. Just let it go, consider it giving me some face, and let them go!"

"Sister Ling, you don't know, this idiot 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 indeed thoroughly angered him.

"Ah 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, naturally I have nothing to say, but if they don't, you can't force them. You're in the wrong this time. Even if it goes to Little Tao's side, I have something to say!" Yu Manling was clearly 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 tracks hadn't dried yet, and snorted, "You're lucky this time, running into Sister Ling. You won't be so lucky in the future, humph!"

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

What Wang Li said wasn't entirely correct. It wasn't until many years later that I realized Sister Ling appearing in my life wasn't just luck.

After the two people let go of me, I collapsed directly onto the ground. At this moment, I was truly in so much pain all over that I didn't even have the strength to support myself.

The silly girl over there on the ground hurriedly 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, sighed, and said, "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 be a hero saving the beauty. It will only make you look very low!"

I knew this sentence was said to me. I wanted to say thank you to Sister Ling, but just as I was about to speak, I lost consciousness completely.

When I woke up, I found myself in a small clinic, and sitting beside me was none other than that silly girl. Seeing me wake up, the silly girl hurriedly 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 fainted earlier, and a few colleagues and I managed to carry you to the clinic. Luckily, the clinic isn't far from us!"

Hearing this, I remembered that it was because I saved her that I was 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 hurriedly said to her, "Don't cry, isn't everything fine? Why are you crying?"

The silly girl lowered her head and stopped sobbing, but tears were still dripping down. She poured me a glass of water. I didn't want to take it at first, 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 there shouldn't be any major issues; after all, they were 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 and prepared to leave.

Seeing that I was about to leave, the silly girl hurriedly 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 all just superficial wounds, it doesn't matter. I still have to go back to work!"
