Chapter 381: I

The handsome and tall Li Ye transformed into a rampaging demon god in an instant. With punches and kicks, dodging and shifting, it took less than ten seconds for all the tenants, regardless of age or gender, to be lying on the ground, unable to move, left only with the ability to groan.

Everyone around was stunned.

Holy crap, this kid is actually hitting women too—he's really ruthless!

Hiss, he's tall, handsome, and strong... he's almost like Ken Takakura.

After a while, a few of the "Uncle Policemen" clicked their tongues and said to Li Ye, "Little comrade, you've made things difficult for us. You were in the right originally, but now..."

"Whether I'm in the right or not is none of your concern; just follow the regulations and do your job."

When Li Ye was clearing the scene indiscriminately, Tan Qin had run over to support Watching Wen Leyu. Now, she held this younger sister tightly, her eyes filled with ferocity and sharpness.

The Uncle Policeman frowned: "Comrade Tan, following the regulations is not easy to do..."

By now, the tenants lying on the ground weren't just groaning; some were screaming for Li Ye to pay with his life. Taking down so many people at once really was quite difficult to handle.

But Tan Qin waved her hand coldly: "No need to say more; you'll know what to do when the time comes."

The Uncle Policeman was stunned, finally guessing something.

Sure enough, just as Li Ye arrived at the police station, a furious Wen Guohua had already arrived.

Seeing Li Ye, he opened his mouth to curse: "Aren't you capable? How were you protecting my sister? You brag every day like you're Huo Yuanjia... Where are the people who hit my sister?"

Li Ye pointed inside without retorting. Looking at the bloodstain on Watching Wen Leyu's neck, he felt he had no right to retort.

Wen Guohua headed straight in the direction Li Ye pointed, flexing his wrists as he walked.

Li Ye hurriedly got up to follow; if Wen Guohua got involved, things would get really serious.

However, when Wen Guohua reached the spot, he was actually quite calm, and nothing uncontrollable happened.

Li Ye pondered, was it because they were already in such a miserable state that hitting them again had no meaning?

Or was it that at Wen Guohua's level, one needed to restrain their emotions a bit?

Wen Guohua patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "You've passed my test, but go talk to my dad tonight. Don't say I didn't warn you—Xiao Yu is the apple of his eye. You'd better pray for your own luck, kid!"

Li Ye nodded: "Alright, I'll go find Uncle Wen once I'm done here."

Wen Guohua glanced at Li Ye: "Wait until you're done? When will you ever be done? Come with me!"

Li Ye signed a few papers and left with Wen Guohua.

Before they had gone far, they could hear the cries of injustice from Zhang Zui and the others behind them.

"How are we guilty of gathering a crowd to fight? We are clearly the victims..."

"Are you all blind! Where did eight of us beat him? It was clearly him beating the eight of us—it was clearly him beating the eight of us!"

Li Ye arrived at Watching Wen Leyu's home and, as expected, received a scolding from Wen Qingsheng, but this scolding... it didn't taste right.

"What kind of madness have you two caught? Why go buy a courtyard for no reason? Will the family be short of a house for you two when you get married? If it really comes to it, you can just come live at home; it's not like you haven't lived here before..."

"Look at how dangerous the trouble today was! What if those people had grabbed a pair of scissors? Would you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"Even if it wasn't scissors, what if one had scratched Xiao Yu's face? What would you do then? Is a crappy house worth all this?"

"Bang!"

Wen Qingsheng slapped the table and said, still unsatisfied: "And another thing, since you were going to take action, why wait until Xiao Yu was hit? Did you eat a 'post-action cannon'? Don't you know the principle of striking first?"

Li Ye kept his head down, not daring to make a sound, occasionally wanting to laugh.

If Wen Qingsheng had been cold and indifferent when Li Ye entered the door, or even refused to let him in, then Li Ye would have truly been scared!

But listen to what Wen Qingsheng was saying now? Look at his attitude?

This was the attitude of a father lecturing his son, alright!

And after Teacher Ke called Watching Wen Leyu into the room and asked her for a while, the atmosphere in the house became even more amusing.

"Stop scolding Li Ye; why don't you ask your daughter what really happened?"

"Hmm?"

Wen Qingsheng looked at Watching Wen Leyu suspiciously and asked: "Xiao Yu, is there more to this story?"

"Actually... I tripped myself."

Watching Wen Leyu stuck out her tongue and said with some excitement: "At the time, I saw Li Ye dodging and weaving around those people, and I got really annoyed. Why take their bullying? Why are you dodging, damn it!"

"So I went over to help. I tripped one with a leg sweep, and then went to trip the second..."

"But that old woman was too fat. After I tripped her, she grabbed my clothes, and I lost my balance and tripped over the furniture in the courtyard..."

Li Ye was truly stunned. There were so many people in the courtyard at the time, and he really hadn't noticed how Watching Wen Leyu had operated.

Now that he heard Watching Wen Leyu say this, it turned out she was a "hidden master"!

"Bang!"

Wen Qingsheng slapped the table again and lectured Li Ye: "Look at that, look at that! You're not even as good as Xiao Yu! You seem so sharp usually, how did you get so clumsy at the critical moment? Letting them chase you around?"

Li Ye had no choice but to lower his head deeply again, because he really couldn't hold it in anymore.

At this moment, Teacher Ke waved her hand and asked: "Xiao Ye, you and Xiao Yu have your eyes on the house behind the Forbidden City—do you have any thoughts about your future job assignments?"

"Job assignments?" Li Ye slowly shook his head: "I haven't considered the issue of job assignments yet! It's still early, isn't it?"

"You'll be juniors soon; it's not that early," Teacher Ke looked into Li Ye's eyes and asked faintly: "Did you buy that courtyard because you want to work nearby at a unit on Chang'an Avenue?"

"I don't have that thought."

Li Ye said quite frankly: "Teacher Ke, I have no requirements for job assignments. If I had to state a requirement, it would be that wherever Xiao Yu is assigned, I'll just find a job in the vicinity of her unit. Wherever she goes, I go."

Teacher Ke smiled: "Have you two discussed this? Xiao Yu just told me that wherever you are assigned, she will go with you."

Li Ye looked at Watching Wen Leyu. A flush of red immediately appeared on her face, and she glared at Li Ye reproachfully, as if complaining why he would say such things in public.

But Li Ye felt that it was better to get everything out in the open today.

"If you want to ask why we bought that courtyard..."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Teacher Ke, you and Uncle Wen are both in the capital, so we definitely need a little home in the capital! This courtyard is very close to you, and the location is good; it has great potential for appreciation in the future..."

"You're talking about appreciation potential again," Wen Qingsheng said, not very interested: "Is money all you see as an economics student? What's the matter, you bought it for 40,000 today, do you think you can sell it for 200,000 later?"

Li Ye could only smile awkwardly and said, being a hundred times more conservative: "Uncle Wen, based on the rising trends of housing prices in various capitals and major cities around the world, after scientific calculation, I feel that this courtyard will very likely exceed eight figures in the future."

"Eight figures?"

Wen Qingsheng was stunned.

And Wen Guohua, beside him, was also a bit dazed, subconsciously spreading out his five fingers and counting one by one: "Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."

Even Watching Wen Leyu's eyes were wide round, spinning rapidly.

Dumbfounded.

However, Wen Qingsheng soon sobered up, looked at Teacher Ke, and said: "Flipping houses is fine for fun, don't treat it as a serious business."

Li Ye nodded: "I understand, Uncle Wen. My plan for the future is still focused on manufacturing. Manufacturing is the future of our country's development."

"Manufacturing?"

Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke were both thoughtful.

After dinner, Watching Wen Leyu saw Li Ye out.

After there was no one around, the little girl asked Li Ye: "What you said just now about that house appreciating hundreds of times... is it true?"

"That's my guess," Li Ye smiled: "What's wrong? Are you tempted? Didn't your dad just say? Things like this are fine for fun, but you can't treat it as a business; it's beneath you."

"I didn't want to treat it as a business."

Watching Wen Leyu muttered, then said: "I just feel... should I transfer the house to your name? Having such a large sum of money in my name doesn't feel right..."

Watching Wen Leyu was a girl with very upright values.

Ever since Pei Wenhui discovered the relationship between Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu, Watching Wen Leyu could receive the "financial report" of Ice and Fire every month.

Although Watching Wen Leyu was shocked that she had so much money, she actually always treated her share as Li Ye's; she was at most just a small steward.

This could be seen from her living habits.

The wealth of several million US dollars in her account did indeed successfully shake Watching Wen Leyu's fine habit of "hard work and simple living."

But it only shook her from the level of "if I can't finish the soy milk, I'll give it to Li Ye" to the level of buying two bowls of soy milk, drinking one on the spot, and taking one home.

If Li Ye told her to drink one and pour one out, she would definitely flip out.

Usually, when Li Ye bought her gifts, she never wanted things she didn't have a definite need for. When going out with Li Ye, she never let Li Ye spend money that didn't need to be spent.

So now that there was suddenly a house worth potentially eight figures in her name, Watching Wen Leyu always felt there was too much money, and she didn't feel secure.

Li Ye stared at Watching Wen Leyu for a full ten seconds before asking quite bluntly: "What's wrong with it being in your name? Isn't what's yours mine? You're even mine, do you still care about a house? Besides, you saw it today—without you... I couldn't have protected that house!"

Watching Wen Leyu, who was being stared at tightly, locked eyes with Li Ye for a long time before slowly smiling.

"Right, what's mine is yours; it's all ours."

"From now on, anything you can't handle, I'll handle."

"If there's something you can't handle, I'll handle it."

"If there's someone you can't bring yourself to hit, I'll hit them for you."

"You'll hit them for me? You're going to hit them again? Your parents are going to hit me..."

"They won't, my mom will help me!"
