The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xi Yuanchen answered the phone, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, his eyes fixed on a spot with a sinister look, but his focus wasn't on it: "Has Li Zhi called me?"

Xi Yuanchen opened the apartment door and walked out.

Anan didn't receive a single call from the Li brothers all day: "No."

Xi Yuanchen's expression grew even uglier: "Have someone find Li Zhi and cut ties with him regardless of the consequences."

Anan responded "Okay" on the phone.

If they don't call to negotiate with Xi Yuanchen, then it's not about the money.

If that's the case, Yao Yingxi's situation is extremely dangerous.

Xi Yuanchen walked to the car, put on his Bluetooth headset, and his face was as cold and gloomy as a demon descending from hell.

He stared fiercely ahead.

Since the Li brothers are so overconfident, there's no point in keeping them around.

……

Yao Yingxi's clothes were torn to shreds. She struggled with her hands and feet and found that she could move. She suppressed her disgust and fear and looked around, trying to save herself.

Suddenly, she saw the red bricks not far from her. At that moment, her eyes turned bloodshot and her lips trembled.

She moved her body little by little, using all her strength to pick up the brick, gripping it tightly as she lifted it.

With a loud "bang," Yao Yingxi smashed Li Zhi's head open with a hammer while he was on top of her.

Li Zhi was stunned for several seconds when he saw himself being beaten and blood dripping from his head.

The two people were also stunned, but they hadn't reacted yet.

Yao Yingxi, with strength she didn't know she possessed, smashed people's skulls with a brick all by herself.

Those people were all stunned.

Ignoring her tattered clothes, Yao Yingxi got up, her eyes fierce and wary.

When Li Zhi and his gang realized what was happening, they were so angry they looked like they wanted to devour Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi looked at them, the brick in her hand like a lone warrior in armor.

They covered their heads, their faces fierce as they tried to snatch the brick from Yao Yingxi's hands.

Yao Yingxi gripped the brick tightly and pointed it at them: "Don't move over, or I won't be so polite as to crack your skull open."

Li Zhi and his group were intimidated by her, but then they remembered that Yao Yingxi had cracked their skulls open.

It would be too embarrassing if they couldn't even beat a woman.

Li Zhi stepped forward, disregarding everything, and tried to snatch the 'murder weapon' from Yao Yingxi's hand.

Yao Yingxi kicked Li Zhi with all her might, and Li Zhi instinctively covered his lower body where he had been kicked.

The two men were somewhat timid, but for the sake of saving face, they still stepped forward.

"Boom..."

The door was kicked open forcefully from the outside.

The men in front of Yao Yingxi were startled and instinctively turned back to look.

Xi Yuanchen stood at the door with a gloomy face, surrounded by four or five bodyguards holding guns.

Yao Yingxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xi Yuanchen.

Xi Yuanchen strode up.

When Li Zhi and the others saw Xi Yuanchen, his legs went weak with fear.

The scene of being captured and tortured by Xi Yuanchen and his men suddenly flashed into his mind.

But considering that she might die either way if Xi Yuanchen caught her, and that this woman was important to him, it would be too easy for him not to take her down with him.

Li Zhi whispered to his men beside him, "If we capture him, we might still be able to survive."

Yao Yingxi happened to hear this, and she turned her gaze away from Xi Yuanchen, taking several steps back with a constantly wary look in her eyes.

"Don't move."

Suddenly, one of Xi Yuanchen's subordinates spoke up.

Li Zhi and his group completely ignored what was happening and were about to step forward.

The gun that Xi Yuanchen was holding suddenly opened.

"Boom..."

"what……"

Gunshots rang out, followed by low growls and groans.

The two henchmen trembled with fear when they saw that Li Zhi had been shot in the leg.

As Xi Yuanchen walked in, he could see more clearly that Yao Yingxi's clothes were tattered and barely covered her body. She had scrapes on her knees and bruises on her wrists and other bones.

His face was dark and terrifying. He strode forward and covered Yao Yingxi with his clothes from the front.

Without asking, it was obvious what had happened to Yao Yingxi before she smashed those people's heads with the brick, which explained her fierce expression.

Xi Yuanchen turned around, one arm around Yao Yingxi to shield her from view, while the other pointed a gun at Li Zhi.

"Boom...bang..."

Shot in two places in his arm, Li Zhi growled in pain, his eyes fixed on Xi Yuanchen: "Xi Yuanchen, you'll die a horrible death."

Xi Yuanchen ignored him and continued to fire bullets into the limbs of the two men.

He coldly ordered his men, "Take them all back and interrogate them thoroughly."

The last sentence was pronounced with extreme emphasis.

His expression was cold and sinister, which sent chills down the spines of his subordinates.

After being embraced by Xi Yuanchen, Yao Yingxi took a long time to come to her senses. Looking at the person in front of her, she finally realized that Xi Yuanchen had arrived.

Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes.

Li Zhi continued to curse, but Xi Yuanchen ignored him and said to Anan, who was rushing over, "Since the Li family is overestimating themselves, there's no point in keeping them around."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi roared, "Xi Yuanchen, what do you want to do?"

"Kidnapping your woman was my idea alone; my brother didn't know about it."

Xi Yuanchen glanced at him, feeling disgusted, and was about to pull Yao Yingxi away.

He then realized that Yao Yingxi had fainted while leaning against him.

He hurriedly picked Yao Yingxi up and carried her outside.

Anan also saw Yao Yingxi faint, and quickly instructed the bodyguards before going out to open the car door.

Xi Yuanchen held Yao Yingxi in his arms as they sat in the back seat. "Call Su Che and have him go to the apartment."

Yao Yingxi was dressed in rags, and he didn't want to take her to the hospital to be seen by others.

Anan was on the phone.

Xi Yuanchen lowered his eyes and stared at Yao Yingxi in his arms.

When I saw Yao Yingxi's fierce expression towards those people just now, I felt a pang of pain in my heart for no reason.

At this moment, he felt more deeply the difference between Yao Yingxi and Ye An'an.

When the car pulled up in front of the apartment building, Anan quickly got out and opened the car door.

Xi Yuanchen carried Yao Yingxi up in the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Che was about to curse when he saw Xi Yuanchen with a gloomy face, holding Yao Yingxi, whose face was pale.

He abruptly stopped speaking, opened the door, and strode into the bedroom. Su Che wanted to follow him in.

Xi Yuanchen slammed the door shut with a loud bang and locked it from the inside.

Su Che twisted around and saw that the door was locked from the inside. He angrily shouted, "You told me to come for a checkup and wait, and now the door is locked. If you're not going to see me, I'm going back."

Xi Yuanchen carried Yao Yingxi and placed her on the bed.

He opened the door and came out, his face grim.

Su Che was stunned when he first saw the man's murderous expression.

Realizing what she was doing, she cursed under her breath, realizing she was afraid of Xi Yuanchen, and was about to open the door and leave.

Xi Yuanchen turned back and said coldly, "She has a fever. Don't go in. Let me change her clothes first."

Su Che was stunned.

Xi Yuanchen went to the wardrobe and found a set of fluffy loungewear for Yao Yingxi. Su Che was still standing at the door. Seeing that Xi Yuanchen's tone didn't seem too serious, he wasn't in a hurry anymore.

Xi Yuanchen opened the bedroom door and then closed it again. After he helped Yao Yingxi change her clothes, he opened the door to let Su Che in: "She has injuries, please check her over."

Su Che carried the medical kit inside.

Lying on the hospital bed, Yao Yingxi's face was pale. The light shone on her face, making it look both gentle and subtly resilient.

This stirred up a strange emotion in Su Che's heart.
