Taking a Step Back to Advance

Yang Lixie was stunned when he saw Xiao Zhang lying on the hood of the engine. He was about to have someone go down and move Xiao Zhang when he heard Luo Yan say softly.

"Save him."

Yang Lixie paused for a moment, but did not hesitate or ask why.

He got out of the car immediately, and with hand gestures, several Yang family guards also got out.

He stood beside Yang Lixie to bolster their momentum.

Luo Yan then helped Xiao Zhang up and put him in the car before looking at the man running towards them from the alley.

Seeing that Xiao Zhang had been put into the car, the leader of the group pointed at Yang Lixie and the others and shouted.

"Brothers, this has nothing to do with you."

I advise you not to meddle in other people's business.

Yang Lixie laughed heartily, "Xiao Zhang is my buddy, I'm really going to meddle in this."

"Who are you? Why did you beat Xiao Zhang up like this?"

"You,?????????????? Call the Local Security Bureau."

"You, call the Corps."

"I want to see which guy is so arrogant, daring to shout and kill in the street, as if there's no law in Qingyang City!"

Young Master Yang's spoiled temperament is something he doesn't need to fake; he can't fake it anyway.

As soon as a person stands up and raises their voice, their aura is immediately apparent.

Those people saw that this guy had an arrogant and haughty demeanor, and seemed to be someone important.

And then they wanted to call the Corps directly, which made me a little panicked.

The leader pointed at Yang Lixie and shouted, "Good lad, you've got guts!"

"You can protect him for a while, but can you protect him forever?"

We'll see!

After uttering a few polite words, the group scattered like birds and beasts.

hotel.

Xiao Zhang groaned and woke up.

Upon seeing an unfamiliar place, he instinctively rolled over and sat up, half-squatting on the bed, ready to pounce at any moment.

Then I saw Luo Yan.

Xiao Zhang was taken aback. "It's you?"

Luo Yan nodded. "How are you?"

Xiao Zhang's eyes dimmed slightly, then he said softly, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Luo Yan didn't say anything; he wasn't good at comforting people. He stood up and walked out of the room.

They ran into Yang Lixie -on.

Luo Yan glanced into the room and said, "That person is quite skilled and has a sense of honor; otherwise, he wouldn't have worked at Axin Auto Shop."

"If you take over the Nursery Garden, you'll need this kind of talent."

Yang Lixie smiled and said, "Understood."

He then had a guard follow him into the house.

Luo Yan then heard Yang Lixie say from inside the house, "You're badly injured. Here, I've had someone make some ginseng chicken soup."

"Don't say anything, just take a couple of sips to nourish your body."

"We can talk about it tomorrow."

Luo Yan smiled; Yang Lixie was indeed more suitable to be a persuader than he was.

Also on this night.

Zheng Chao looked tired as he returned to his home in Qingyang City.

He bought this house after coming to Qingyang City; it's a detached villa with a garden and swimming pool.

After getting out of the car, Zheng Chao walked towards the gate.

The door opened, and a man who looked like a butler said, "Mister Zheng, Mister Jiang has arrived."

Zheng Chao's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly went to the study.

Before entering the study, he made a few adjustments and made a few exaggerated expressions.

After getting ready, he pushed open the door and laughed heartily.

At this moment, he was radiant and showed no signs of fatigue.

"Mister Jiang, you're finally back."

The man, referred to as Mister Jiang, was tall.

He was dressed in a suit and bow tie, leaning on a cane, his gaze sharp and menacing.

"Zheng Chao, I heard you lost the bid today?"

A few beads of oil glistened on Zheng Chao's forehead as he chuckled and said, "I was indeed careless; a little rascal stole my chicken."

Mister Jiang looked at Zheng Chao coldly, until the man opposite him broke out in a cold sweat, before he spoke.

"You were indeed careless, and you shouldn't have been careless."

"I told you this long ago, we're determined to get this Nursery Garden."

"With this, we'll have a legitimate reason to walk in Forbidden Land from now on."

"Instead of being like those 'black witches,' sneaking around and hiding in the light."

"However, you don't seem to have taken my words to heart."

Zheng Chao shuddered and quickly said, "Mister Jiang, don't worry."

"It's true we lost the bid, but it's still uncertain who will ultimately own this Nursery Garden."

We still have a chance.

Mister Jiang gave him an inquiring look.

Zheng Chao quickly explained, "In addition to the auction, the Undercity also stipulates that a martial arts contest must be held."

"The three highest bidders will each send representatives to present their work. I've already prepared the necessary personnel, and in a few days, I'll definitely teach that kid a lesson."

Mister Jiang snorted, "With your meager manpower, are you even worthy of being called a leader?"

"If it were my men, I would take action too."

"We can't afford to fail again this time!"

The day of the armed conflict arrived in the blink of an eye.

Inside the hotel, Luo Yan and Yang Lixie were discussing their appearance.

Yang Lixie said, "I'll go up first. After I step down, your older brother can go up."

Luo Yan looked at him. That day at the Black Spider Base, this guy had said that he wasn't cut out for fighting. Why was he volunteering now?

Yang Lixie roughly guessed what Luo Yan was thinking and chuckled, "I'm really not good at fighting, and risking my life is even less suited to me."

"But in situations like today, if you can't win, you can surrender."

"Anyway, with your older brother backing me up, I have no qualms about it."

Luo Yan's lips twitched slightly.

Just then, he heard a voice say, "Need any help?"

That's Xiao Zhang's voice.

After spending two days together...

Luo Yan already knew that his name was Zhang Yi.

But what was the purpose of coming to Qingyang City? Why did you get injured?

It has not been mentioned yet.

Seeing that he had volunteered, Yang Lixie glanced at Luo Yan and then smiled.

"This has nothing to do with you. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt because of it."

Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "Is this related to the Nursery Garden you've been talking about these past few days?"

"It's okay, I can help."

"I'm going to stay in Qingyang City for a while anyway."

"If your Nursery Garden opens, I just need a job."

Yang Lixie winked at Luo Yan, looking very pleased with himself. Then, he pretended to decline for a while before reluctantly agreeing to help Xiao Zhang.

Luo Yan smiled; Yang Lixie retreat to advance was indeed brilliant.

Instead of deliberately recruiting Xiao Zhang, they revealed information about the Nursery Garden, letting Zhang Yi make his own decision.

The three then discussed it and reached a consensus.

Zhang led the charge, Yang Lixie the middle position, and Luo Yan covered the rear.

After making the decision, we went to have breakfast.

10 o'clock.

Qingyang Gymnasium.

Luo Yan got out of the car, picked up the heavy Longxiang, and then silently followed Yang Lixie and the others into the stadium.

One of the areas in the stadium has already been set up.

A narrow log bridge, barely two feet wide, is placed in the center of the area.

With such terrain, there is no room for maneuver; both sides have no choice but to fight head-on.

In this way, the winner can be decided within three to five breaths, which is quite decisive and quick.

At this moment, people from the Zheng Chao arrived.

As soon as those people entered, Luo Yan sensed something.

The people Zheng Chao brought were all quite capable.
