Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Li Hanliang was very experienced in dealing with these thugs. He knew that talking nonsense was useless; he just had to beat them into submission.

"You fucking bastard, do you submit or not?"

Li Hanliang picked up a chair again, this time intending to smash it directly on Qi Shibin's head.

"Ahhh!" Qi Shibin screamed, covering his head in fright.

Zhou Meiping was stunned by what she saw. She had thought that Li Hanliang was glib and clever and would definitely be able to help her scare away Qi Shibin, but she didn't expect Li Hanliang to take such a hard line.

"Hanliang!" She stopped Li Hanliang. "That's enough. Don't let this get to someone's death."

Li Hanliang threw the chair down, which landed squarely on Qi Shibin's leg, causing the hooligan to cry out in pain again.

"Alright, stop yelling in my girlfriend's house and get the hell out of here!"

Li Hanliang kicked him, then grabbed him by the collar, intending to throw him out.

Unexpectedly, Qi Shibin was quite capable. He hadn't had a chance to retaliate after Li Hanliang took the initiative, but now that he had stood up and had the opportunity, he used his strength to tackle Li Hanliang and smash his fist directly into Li Hanliang's face.

Li Hanliang never expected him to pull this stunt, and was caught off guard and slapped in the face.

"Damn it!" Li Hanliang retorted, throwing a punch in retaliation.

The two men wrestled, neither willing to give in. Qi Shibin swore incessantly, but Li Hanliang, being the action-oriented type, kept his head down, looking for an opportunity to beat him up.

Zhou Meiping was startled, but she quickly recovered and immediately closed the door to avoid being reported.

Seeing how this woman didn't care about his life and death, Li Hanliang cursed inwardly, "This little woman is truly ungrateful!"

However, he wasn't afraid. The saying goes, "When you close the door to beat a dog, you're beating the dog," and it was clearly the scoundrel he was fighting with who was the real culprit.

After becoming wealthy, Li Hanliang learned boxing and martial arts, so dealing with these petty thugs was a piece of cake for him.

Within minutes, he turned the tide, beating Qi Shibin until he was bruised and battered, and Qi begged for mercy.

"Too late!" Li Hanliang stomped on Qi Shibin. "I gave you a way out just now, but you wouldn't take it. Now you want to beg for mercy? Dream on!"

Li Hanliang grabbed his fashionable collar and threw him in front of Zhou Meiping, saying, "Kneel down and say, 'Grandma, I'll never bother you again.'"

Qi Shibin gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to struggle and fight back, but he was already scared after being beaten. He moved a few times, but when he saw Li Hanliang's face, he was frightened back down.

"Speak!" Li Hanliang wasn't going to let him off the hook.

A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. He was truly angry today. How dare a scoundrel ride on his head? And even dare to fight him?

If this had happened in the past, he would have guaranteed that the scoundrel would be dead.

Zhou Meiping was shocked, but she quickly calmed down, crossed her arms, and looked at Qi Shibin leisurely, "Didn't you hear me? My little boyfriend made you swear an oath."

Qi Shibin was filled with hatred, glaring at Zhou Meiping through gritted teeth, "You've humiliated me like this today, have you thought about our past? Have you forgotten all the love we shared?"

"Are you fucking acting out a romance novel here?" Li Hanliang stomped on him. "Believe it or not, I can make you crawl out of here."

Qi Shibin felt as if his spine was about to split open, so how could he dare to say anything more?

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; it seems he has no choice but to admit defeat today.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Zhou Meiping's eyes as she stared intently at him, waiting for him to say the words she had been longing to hear.

Qi Shibin was unwilling but dared not resist. He almost ground his back teeth to powder. In the end, he could only hang his head and say with difficulty, "I will not bother you anymore."

"What if you keep bothering me?" Li Hanliang stomped his foot again.

Actually, he didn't use much force. If he really wanted to break his spine, the man would have been cut in two by now.

This is no exaggeration, after all, he has actually participated in combat competitions, especially against these weak and sickly little chicks of this era.

"I, I am a dog! I am a turtle bastard!" Qi Shibin was almost scared to death, and now all he could think about was escaping as quickly as possible.

Li Hanliang snorted coldly, looked at Zhou Meiping, and asked her with his eyes, "Are you satisfied now?"

Zhou Meiping had tears in her eyes, but she didn't want Li Hanliang to see them, so she just turned her face to the side and nodded.

Li Hanliang then released Qi Shibin, saying, "Get lost."

Qi Shibin crawled two or three times before getting up from the ground and running away in a scramble.

Once you get outside, it's a completely different story.

He turned around fiercely, pointed at Li Hanliang, and said, "You little punk, you just wait!"

Li Hanliang slammed the door shut, not even wanting to look at him.

Zhou Meiping stood there for a while before remembering to ask Li Hanliang, "How are you? Let me put some medicine on you and then take you to the hospital?"

"No need, just get me some water," Li Hanliang knew his situation well; it was just a minor injury, nothing serious. However, this effort had to be rewarded. "Has the business deal been settled?"

He didn't care about anything else and lay down on Zhou Meiping's bed to ease the pain in his body.

Zhou Meiping brought him water and some iodine in a biscuit tin, and asked, "How desperate are you for money that you're working so hard for your business? Did your restaurant go bankrupt?"

She dipped a cotton ball in mercurochrome and applied it to Li Hanliang's face.

“The watered-down pork your family supplied to the vocational school made them a fortune, enough for their retirement. How could I not be anxious? This is a sure way to make money.” Li Hanliang deliberately probed for information.

Zhou Meiping stopped abruptly. "What vocational school? What are you talking about?"

Li Hanliang carefully observed her reaction and realized that she genuinely didn't know; subconscious reactions don't lie.

"Isn't the pork in the technical school cafeteria in our county bought from your family?" Li Hanliang lowered his voice. "You and Principal Zhou both have the surname Zhou, so you two must be related, right? Don't try to fool me. I did a lot of inquiries before I found you. They said your pork is the cheapest and the least likely to be detectable by taste."

Zhou Meiping frowned, looked at Li Hanliang, and stopped gently wiping his face. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Who told you these things?"

Li Hanliang took the cotton ball from her hand and wiped it himself. "What, you want to report me to the leaker? I can't tell you that. Besides, we're such good friends now, it's not fair of you not to tell me the truth."

Zhou Meiping grabbed Li Hanliang, her expression becoming even more serious. "Don't mess around. This is no joke. You know, some things are fine for selling normally, but if you send them to a school, you'll end up in jail, and you might be ruined for life."

"That serious?" Li Hanliang said, "I thought this was one of your glorious achievements."

Zhou Meiping was really anxious. "I really didn't sell it! If you consider me a friend, tell me right now what happened!"

Li Hanliang felt relieved. It seemed that Zhou Meiping really wasn't behind this, so he could now rest assured and investigate further.

“It’s good that it’s not you,” Li Hanliang said. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t come here to buy watered-down pork. I just wanted to ask you about something. Do you know any of you butchers who have connections with technical schools?”
