The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

"clang!"

"Fuck you! You bitch!"

"clang!"

The sound of banging on the door came one after another. Xu Xi held on tightly to the rickety iron door, not daring to let go for a moment.

"clang!"

Another deep dent appeared on the iron gate, and the part where the door frame and the wall connected began to loosen slightly.

"Hey, Li Laogui, you and your son are having a team-building event here."

The banging on the door by Li Laogui and his son attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"Damn it, my wife ran into this place. I'm going to break down this broken door and take her away."

"Does this woman you're talking about know that she's your wife?"

Loud laughter erupted from the crowd.

Old Li wiped the sweat from his brow and gritted his teeth.

"Whether she knows it or not, whoever helps me open this damn door will get their turn when it's my turn to have sex with her!"

"Oh my, now that you mention that, I'm really excited."

Several people rubbed their hands together, eager to try.

"Hey, this is Xu Nian's house! I've seen a girl going in and out of his house these past few days. Could she be Xu Nian's girlfriend?"

"Forget it, I don't want to mess with Xu Nian. That madman is really reckless when he fights. Five of me wouldn't be enough for him."

"Damn it, who cares? At worst I'll have my fun and run. Xu Nian can't possibly chase me to the ends of the earth."

Several people picked up various tools and stepped forward, while others remained huddled in the crowd, watching the spectacle unfold.

"Help! Help!"

Xu Xi cried out helplessly, the iron gate behind her already teetering on the verge of collapse.

In this shantytown, the only decent people left have already gone to work; those who remain to watch the spectacle are just idle loafers who have nothing better to do each day.

They were eager to see more excitement and even get a share of the spoils, so why would they care about Xu Xi's helpless cries?

"Boom!"

The gate could no longer withstand the relentless attacks and collapsed with a crash.

"Hehehe, you bitch, where do you think you're going to hide?"

Upon seeing Xu Xi's adorable appearance, the crowd erupted in gasps of surprise.

"Holy crap! Xu Nian usually eats so well!"

"Damn it, I've never even touched a woman's hand, and Xu Nian actually has such a beautiful girl hiding at home."

Xu Xi had retreated to the corner of the wall, watching in horror as the crowd drew closer and closer to her.

She closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.

Brother! Where are you?

Brother! I'm so scared!

help me!

"ah!!!!!!!"

The expected thing did not happen; instead, Li Laogui's screams rang out.

She opened her eyes with trembling hands and saw Old Man Li and Old Devil lying on the ground a few meters in front of her, covering their heads and weeping bitterly.

A burly figure was riding on their backs, his fists whistling as he pounded into them again and again.

"elder brother!"

Xu Xi could no longer hold back her grievances and burst into tears.

"Xu Xi!"

Xu Nian rushed over, picked up Xu Xi, and checked on her condition.

Fortunately, apart from being a little frightened, she was unharmed.

Immediately, his eyes turned bloodshot, and every vein on his body bulged out.

Fortunately, halfway there, he realized something was wrong.

Old Li, whom he had beaten so badly that he would avoid him whenever he saw him, appeared near his house for several days in a row, either drunk or just passing by.

Out of concern, and thinking that there was still time before work, Xu Nian decided to come back to remind Xu Xi to lock the door.

Unexpectedly, they witnessed Li Laogui and his son breaking into the house and harming Xu Xi.

If we had returned even a minute later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

When Li Laogui saw who it was, his face changed drastically, and he endured the excruciating pain as he crawled out of the house.

Only his dying father was left in the house to be brutally beaten by Xu Nian.

Old Man Li was already weak, and after being thoroughly beaten by Xu Nian, he was completely unable to move on the ground, barely clinging to life.

Xu Nian turned his bloodshot eyes, searching for any trace of Li Laogui.

But Old Li ran too fast, and he could no longer be found.

Then, he turned his gaze to the other thugs in the room.

Those thugs, stared at by that devilish gaze, dared not utter a sound.

"Damn it, he's all alone. There are so many of us, are we afraid of him?"

One of the people who had just arrived in Yuncheng to work and didn't know Xu Nian encouraged him.

But the others remained unmoved, and even distanced themselves from him.

In the blink of an eye, he was horrified to find that Xu Nian had rushed in front of him.

Xu Nian lifted him up like a chick and slammed his head against the wall.

The man struggled fiercely, using all his strength, but he couldn't budge Xu Nian's fingers an inch.

"It was him. He was the one who instigated us to bang on the door. He was the one who led the charge, but it has nothing to do with us."

The group that had been banging on the door hid their sticks and bricks and turned their accusations toward the man being brutally beaten by Xu Nian.

"You son of a bitch, put me down if you dare."

"Ahhh! Big brother, I was wrong, please let me go..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Grandpa, please have mercy on me this time, I'll never do it again..."

Blood gushed from his head, his mind went blank, and he was horrified to find that more and more Xu Nian were appearing before him—one, two, three...

Xu Nian threw him to the ground, raised her foot, and stomped hard on his palm.

"ah!!!!!!!!"

Soon, his hands became bent and deformed, losing all color.

After dealing with him, Xu Nian raised her head again, her eyes scanning the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, two more guys who rushed to the front got caught in the crossfire.

Two piercing screams rang out, and four people lay on the ground, barely alive.

"Good! Well done!"

"That was awesome!"

"Cool!"

Laughter and applause came from outside, but Xu Nian watched them coldly and ignored them completely.

He knew that what pleased them was not that he had taught these beasts a lesson, but that they had witnessed a bloody fight that satisfied their perverse, animalistic desires.

"Get out of here!"

Xu Nian shouted angrily, and everyone in the room felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They hurriedly squeezed through the fallen door frame and scattered away.

In the past, Xu Nian would not have allowed anyone in the house to walk out.

But just as he was about to unleash his full power in a fight, he remembered Xu Xi.

If things escalate too much, it might attract the attention of the police, and he, as the one who committed the violence, will definitely end up in jail.

Who will take care of Xu Xi then?

Xu Nian threw the four people lying on the ground out of the house like dead rats.

Once the crowd realized there was no more excitement to be had, they all left.

"Xu Xi, come with me!"
