She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Fang Li's heart skipped a beat. Behind her, she heard the sound of fists hitting flesh. Her body stiffened for several seconds before she gradually came back to her senses.

He hurriedly turned around and saw two tall men, whose every word could make most of the capital city tremble, now fighting each other.

If you punch me, I'll kick you back.

The once spacious and enchanting front hall was now filled only with the sounds of two people fighting.

Many passersby stood at a distance, watching in surprise. Han Xi rarely appeared in public, and perhaps not many people knew him, but Lu Jie's face was nothing short of a synonym for a young master in the capital.

Quite a few people present recognized him.

Everyone was incredibly curious; a man who dared to fight against the mad dog-like Young Master Lu was truly a rare sight!

The two fought for two minutes, and soon Lu Jie's weakness became apparent.

In terms of ruthlessness, he might be a bit more ruthless than Han Xi, but in terms of martial arts skills, he was clearly no match for Han Xi.

When Han Xi and Yu Tian first met, Fang Li had already guessed something from their conversation, which showed mutual respect between them.

Given the Han family's revolutionary background of serving in the military for generations, it's highly likely that Han Xi was also sent to the military camp for training as a child, and as it turns out, her guess was correct.

Han Xi's movements were swift and powerful, his punches and kicks were like the wind, and compared to Lu Jie, who relied solely on ruthless punches, it was clear that he had been trained.

Lu Jie took several punches in a row. When he saw Han Xi raise his foot to kick him again, Fang Li went over and stopped him, saying, "That's enough."

Han Xi's breathing was heavy, his dark eyes fixed on Lu Jie, whose back was slightly bent and whose gaze was also fixed on him. In the end, he didn't kick him.

Fang Li breathed a slight sigh of relief. If that kick had actually landed, Lu Jie would have been in the hospital for a while, even if he didn't die.

"Let's go home first, okay?" she said softly to Han Xi, softening her tone.

Han Xi glanced down at her, meeting the pleading look in her eyes, and his sharp eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

After a long while, without saying a word, he pulled her outside.

He took long strides, his steps fast and steady. Fang Li, wearing high heels, had to jog to keep up. After only a few steps, she was panting and looked somewhat exhausted.

The man beside her seemed to notice, and although he didn't react, his pace noticeably slowed down.

Fang Li's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed a little, but within seconds it was quickly covered by guilt and remorse.

I promised him I wouldn't go out before the stitches were removed, but not only did I go out, I almost got into trouble, and now he's seen my nemesis... He must be furious.

Fang Li bit her lip and looked up nervously, only to see the man's cold, sharp jawline.

The heavy glass door opened, and Han Xi pulled Fang Li out.

Just as the door behind him was about to close, Lu Jie's irritating voice rang out again.

Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want your phone?

Fang Li turned around abruptly and saw Lu Jie, with a bruise on the corner of his mouth, standing at the door, holding what was none other than her phone in his hand.

At that moment, she finally understood why Han Xi and Yu Tian had appeared here so late.

The guilt that had been welling up in her heart vanished instantly. Looking at Lu Jie's smug expression, she thought to herself, no wonder Han Xi got angry and hit him. If it were her, she wouldn't have been able to hold back either.

"Give me!"

Lu Jie twitched his lips, as if he wanted to laugh, but a sharp pain shot through his mouth the moment he moved.

His eyes instantly turned cold, and the smile on his lips faded. He waved the phone in his hand and said, "Sure, come and get it yourself."

Fang Li frowned deeply.

Just as she was about to break free from Han Xi's hand to take it, she saw the man beside her suddenly turn around, his dark eyes staring coldly at Lu Jie.

His gaze was as if he were looking at a troublesome, rebellious youth who was not worth fearing. His expression was indifferent, and without saying a word, he simply took out his phone from his pocket, found a number, and dialed it.

The call was answered very quickly.

"President Han? That's strange. What made you think of calling me?" It was a magnetic middle-aged man's voice.

Han Xi looked at Lu Jie with indifferent eyes and slowly opened his lips: "President Lu, I suddenly feel that with your young master's style of doing things, Lu's Group is probably not capable of handling the cooperation project in Taihu Bay. I will not be involving Lu's Group this time. You'd better take care of yourself."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without caring about the other person's reaction and just stared at Lu Jie quietly.

The moment Han Xi slowly uttered the words "President Lu," the smile on Lu Jie's face vanished.

When he finished speaking, Lu Jie's eyes were already sinister. He gritted his teeth and just wanted to say in his heart, "He always asks his elders to suppress him when he gets into trouble. How despicable!"

Soon, just seconds after Han Xi hung up the phone, Lu Jie's cell phone rang.

Lu Jie bit his chin hard and took out his phone to answer the call.

The moment the call connected, a furious male voice rang out: "You unfilial son, what have you been up to again! Tell me, how did you provoke Han Xi this time? Do you know how important the Taihu Bay project is to the Lu family? You're provoking him at this crucial moment. Do you think your old man has too much free time, or do you think the Lu family is too long-lived and want the entire Lu family to be buried with your impulsiveness!"

"Are you that afraid of Han Xi? It's just a project. If we lose it, we can just find another one!"

"A project? I told you to focus more on the company's business, but you wouldn't listen. Now listen to what you're saying! Han Xi is so young and he can already shoulder the responsibility of the Han family business. What about you? What can you do besides causing trouble for your old man every day?!"

Lu Jie gripped his phone tightly, gritting his teeth.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued: "I don't care what you did, apologize to Han Xi right now, and get back here right now after you apologize. If Han Xi doesn't mind, then forget it. But if he really uses this to kick Lu's Group out of the Taihu Bay project, then you'd better be prepared to beg for his forgiveness!"

This time, it was the other end who hung up first.

After the call ended, Lu Jie's expression was beyond gloomy.

Han Xi was still looking at him calmly. When he looked at Lu Jie, the initial arrogance and provocation on his face were gone. He was now gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to chew Han Xi up.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Fang Li quickly let go of Han Xi's hand, ran over, snatched the phone from his hand, and ran away.

Now that she had the phone, she didn't want to stay there any longer. She took Han Xi's hand and said, "Let's go home."

Lu Jie stood there, watching the two get into the car.

Soon, the black sedan started and drove away from the entrance of Meise.

Watching the car drive further and further away, Lu Jie could no longer suppress his anger. He kicked over the trash can next to him, put his hands on his hips and exhaled heavily. He looked up at the dark night sky and it took him a long time to regain some of his composure.

He took out his phone again and dialed a number: "Where is it?"

I don’t know what was said on the other side.

His face froze for a moment, then he snapped, "Drink my ass! Get over here and come pick me up!"

-

The black sedan sped along and, half an hour later, came to a stop in front of the main house, its taillights swaying.
