Zhao Ming's desire to perform erupted once again.

He glared at me angrily.

It's as if I've committed some unforgivable crime against Liu Chaoyang!

Zhao Ming suddenly pulled my hand away from Liu Chaoyang's.

He said to Liu Chaoyang, "President Liu, don't worry, I studied Taekwondo for a while and can protect you! Dealing with this kind of person is a piece of cake for me!"

Without saying a word, Zhao Ming punched me in the face.

Bang it!

I was knocked to the ground by Zhao Ming's punch.

I had been training for a while and should have been able to dodge Zhao Ming's punch.

But I've already suffered from heatstroke after being exposed to the sun for so long.

In order to see Liu Chaoyang, I was completely relying on willpower to persevere.

Therefore, Zhao Ming knocked me down with one punch very easily.

I painfully covered my nose, feeling my palms were wet.

Upon looking at his palm, he saw a pool of blood.

Zhao Ming made my nose bleed.

At this moment, Zhao Ming wore a smug and proud expression.

He said, "President Liu, you saw it too! I could take down this little bastard who's trying to take advantage of you with one punch!"

Upon hearing this, I raised my head somewhat defiantly and stared intently upwards with difficulty.

Just then, Liu Chaoyang's gaze fell upon mine.

Liu Chaoyang's expression was extremely cold.

He asked calmly, "Who are you? What do you want with me? Are you here to collect your unpaid wages?"

Before I could even speak.

Zhao Ming preemptively answered for me: "President Liu! To be honest, this person is my friend! But because he's dissatisfied with me, he often does some inexplicable things! For example, today, he's here to sabotage our cooperation!"

My face froze, and I gritted my teeth and cursed, "Zhao Ming, your ability to spout nonsense and talk rubbish is getting better and better!"

Zhao Ming heard me scolding him.

His expression changed instantly.

But Zhao Ming didn't hit me in front of Liu Chaoyang for that reason.

Because if he hits me.

That means he's angry.

If he gets angry, it means I was right.

This would arouse Liu Chaoyang's suspicion.

So, Zhao Ming gritted his teeth and said with a fake smile, "President Liu, you saw it too, right? This person is here to deliberately slander me and try to ruin our cooperation."

Liu Chaoyang was also a cunning old fox; he wouldn't easily believe someone's one-sided story.

He said, "Why would this person slander you?"

Zhao Ming said, "It's very simple. I used to owe him wages, so he has always held a grudge against me."

Hear this.

Liu Chaoyang's eyes lit up slightly.

He continued, "So now? Have you paid back the wages you owe him?"

"I already paid it back."

Why does he still keep bothering you?

"Because he wants compensation, but I don't want to pay it, it's that simple!"

As Zhao Ming spoke, he adopted an extremely tough stance.

My nose was bleeding profusely from the beating.

In addition, prolonged exposure to the sun caused me to suffer from heatstroke and become completely exhausted.

I was so angry at Zhao Ming's lies that I could hardly breathe.

Every word Zhao Ming said.

It's all a lie!

Now he's a master of lies, telling them with ease!

Liu Chaoyang looked at me and shook his head indifferently.

He said, "Those who don't know how to be content will not have a good ending, and no one will pity them!"

After saying that, Liu Chaoyang got into his official car.

Zhao Ming before getting on the bus.

He stared at me with his head down, and I saw a smug, cold smile on his lips.

Zhao Ming opened his mouth and said something to me.

I watched his lips move.

The message read: "Lu Yi, you're trying to ruin my plans? How could I possibly let you have your way?"

"Not only that, if you dare to do this today, don't blame me for being impolite!"

You could say that Lu Yi misunderstood me, but she didn't completely misunderstand me.

I came here because I wanted to take back the cooperation with Liu Chaoyang.

But I didn’t know Lu Yi would come here today.

The two just happened to bump into each other.

Therefore, Zhao Ming would mistakenly believe that I was holding Liu Chaoyang's hand to ruin his plans.

Finally, Zhao Ming got into Liu Chaoyang's car and left.

I struggled to my feet all by myself.

The security guard in the distance stared at me coldly.

There was still blood from my nose on the ground when I got up.

At that moment, I struggled to move my body and walk towards the roadside.

I plan to take a taxi and leave first.

But, at this time.

The black Mercedes that Zhao Ming rode in when he came before.

Two men in black suits came down from upstairs.

They walked towards me with cold indifference.

My heart skipped a beat as I sensed the menacing glint in their eyes.

It's obvious that these two are here to get me!

As expected, just as I predicted.

These two men are Zhao Ming's bodyguards.

After Zhao Ming left in Liu Chaoyang's car.

He texted his two bodyguards, telling them to come over and teach me a lesson.

The two bodyguards walked up to me.

One of them, without any hesitation, punched me squarely in the stomach.

My body, which I had struggled to stand up, crashed to the ground with a thud.

"Uh!"

I felt like I'd been beaten so badly that the world was spinning and I was seeing stars.

I felt like I was about to see my great-grandmother the moment I opened my eyes.

Another bodyguard walked towards me.

He kept kicking me with his feet.

However, he knew exactly which parts of a person's body he could kick and which parts he couldn't.

He deliberately avoided the spot that would have been fatal to me.

I was kicked so hard I was in excruciating pain that I could only resort to the self-defense instincts I had learned in the correctional facility.

Curl your body into a ball to minimize the areas that can be attacked.

In the end, I was kicked so hard that my bones were almost broken.

Finally, I heard someone shouting.

"Stop it!"

The person who shouted seemed to be Lin Xia.

But I was in so much pain that I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes.

In my peripheral vision.

I saw Lin Xia and her bodyguard jogging towards me.

Zhao Ming's bodyguard saw that someone had arrived.

The two men were incredibly fast, quickly running towards the black Mercedes before speeding away.

Lin Xia's bodyguards tried to chase after them, but they couldn't catch up.

"These people have gone too far!"

Lin Xia cursed as she ran towards me.

She squatted down and looked at my injuries.

Lin Xia asked worriedly, "Lu Yi, are you alright?"

I gave a weak smile: "I'm fine, nothing's wrong, you don't need to worry about me."

At that moment, I noticed...

Lin Xia's eyes were a little red, and it was hard to tell if she had been crying.

This gave me a slight pang of unease.

Is this the first time in my life that a woman has ever shed tears for me?

Then, carried by Lin Xia's bodyguards, I was put into Lin Xia's car.

Later, I took him to the hospital.

While lying in the hospital.

The nurse jokingly said to me, "Mr. Lu, you're practically a regular at the hospital now, coming here every few days. How about we buy a house near the hospital someday?"

I knew the nurse was just joking with me.

But Lin Xia, who was standing to the side, was very angry.

She said, "What nonsense are you spouting, nurse! Believe me or not, I'll file a complaint against you!"

The nurse was frightened by Lin Xia.

She was pale and somewhat frightened.

I quickly tried to smooth things over: "Lin Xia, don't be angry with her. She didn't say anything wrong."

“It’s my fault. I’ve been going to the hospital every few days, and I’ve even been a burden to you.”

I apologized to the nurse.

"I'm sorry, beautiful, she was in a bad mood, so she spoke a little harshly."

"Don't worry, we definitely won't complain about you."
