"Xiao Yi, what exactly happened?"
Xu Yi lowered his head, his face full of grievance.
"I worked for them, but they refused to pay me and even mocked me. They said I was an orphan..."

Zhang Yu: "???"
When did I ever say that?!
Lu Wei looked at Zhang Yu as if she were an idiot.
Li Wen's face was full of fury. "Damn it! That's outrageous... Who refused to pay him?"
The three female white-collar workers and Lu Wei all pointed at Zhang Yu in unison.
Smack~
Li Wen had a fiery temper. Without saying a word, he slapped her several times, leaving her seeing stars.
It could be said that Xu Yi being an orphan was Li Wen's ultimate taboo.
Not a single person dared to utter a word.
Lu Wei smiled obsequiously. "Manager Li, you've already hit her. Let's let this matter pass."
"Impossible!"
"Manager Li, your nephew drove his car right into the shop. Neither side is entirely in the right."
Li Wen: "This is too much!"
"Yes, yes, it really is too much." Lu Wei nodded in complete agreement.
"What exactly did you do to humiliate him that made him lose his reason like this? It's simply outrageous! Just hearing about your actions makes me feel suffocated."
Lu Wei: "???"
Brother, do you want to hear yourself right now?
Xu Yi let out a cold laugh. Talk reason? A lowly commoner like you wants to reason with the chairman?
This is hilarious.
"Give Xiao Yi the money he's owed, and everyone apologize to him. Then this matter will be considered settled."
"But what about the losses our shop suffered..."
"You're dreaming."
Negative Emotion Points +200
Lu Wen's expression was extremely ugly. He could apologize; he could endure it and let the matter pass.
After all, pride was worthless.
But the losses were different. The initial estimate was fifty or sixty thousand.
If he did not get compensation, he would have to bear the responsibility himself.
Who could stand that?
Therefore, after hesitating for more than ten seconds, Lu Wen decisively shook his head.
"No! I must receive compensation. Once the compensation is paid, I'll definitely apologize to him."
Li Wen's expression turned cold, and his voice was filled with intense pressure.
"I'll give you one more chance to rethink your words."
"I want compensation!"
"Manager Li, it's true that the Furun Group is powerful, but we're a company from Magic City too. If this really goes to court, it's still uncertain who will win."
Li Wen laughed in anger. "Good, good. You're trying to use Magic City to pressure me?"
"I'm only telling the truth."
Zhang Yu looked at Lu Wei with extreme admiration. "Brother Wei, you're amazing~ You can even stand up to the chairman of the Furun Group. That's so full of Stone Particles."
"Just kidding. I'm super brave, okay?"
Feeling the four women's continuous admiring gazes, Lu Wei straightened his back considerably.
Zhang Yu became even bolder. "Manager Li, there are surveillance cameras in the shop. We'll see each other in court."
Xu Yi sent her flying with a Yu General flying kick, knocking her to the ground.
"See you in court? Not even the underworld would want you."
Negative Emotion Points +100
Zhang Yu: He spoke up for me...
But no one paid any more attention to Zhang Yu's miserable state.
The atmosphere had become tense and oppressive.
Neither side was willing to take a step back.
However, Li Wen had already developed murderous intent.
Regardless of the outcome today, they would no longer be able to stay in Harbor City.
At that moment, a pleasant voice came from the doorway.
"Big Brother, are you all right? Are you hurt?"
Just as Xu Yi expected, Huang Lu carefully examined Xu Yi from head to toe.
Her snow-white, soft hands pinched and kneaded him all over.
"Fortunately, there aren't any injuries."
"No, it's very possible you have internal injuries."
Xu Yi: "..."
Negative Emotion Points +50 Shock Points +500
Behind them, Lu Wei's mouth hung wide open, his pupils shrinking repeatedly.
"L-Lady...! What are you doing here?"
Smack~
A crisp sound rang out, and the entire hall fell silent.
Lu Wei covered his face and trembled under Huang Lu's icy gaze.
"Were you the ones bullying my big brother?"
Lu Wei frantically shook his head, his eyes filled with terror. "No, no. How would I dare bully your big brother?"
Damn it! How are all the young ladies your sisters?
Why are all the powerful people your relatives?
Seriously, is your father God or something?
Lu Wei's heart trembled wildly. He had already cursed the four foolish women half to death in his mind.
A second ago, he had still been gloating over the fact that his company was from Magic City. The next moment, he had been slapped in the face by Magic City's young lady.
What a miserable life...
Shock Points 400*4
The four female white-collar workers behind them were hardly any better off than Lu Wei.
Zhang Yu, in particular, had completely short-circuited. Her eyes were vacant.
So what he had said before was true!
This company really had been bought and given to him.
But he had not wanted it? He had gone to drive for a ride-hailing service to make money instead...
What a lunatic!
Seeing how cold and awkward the atmosphere had become, Xu Yi immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
"It's all right, little sister. They didn't really bully me. They just made me state my last words and said things like I wasn't worthy of being your brother..."
Negative Emotion Points +400 Negative Emotion Points +400
The five of them: "⊙?6?6⊙!"
When did we ever say that?!
Is it really appropriate to act this green-tea innocent with your background?
"Little sister, just forgive them. At least I'm not dead."
Brother, please stop acting so innocent.
If you keep this up, we're going to lose our lives.
At that moment, a layer of frost covered Huang Lu's pretty face, and her pearly teeth were clenched tightly.
"Disable them."
The bodyguards behind her immediately carried out the order. Their attacks were vicious and caused excruciating pain, but they avoided inflicting fatal injuries.
Clearly, these bodyguards had all undergone professional training. Judging from their bearing, Xu Yi guessed that eight out of ten were retired special forces soldiers.
Only several people's heart-wrenching screams remained at the scene.
Even Xu Yi felt his heart pound as he watched.
But Huang Lu's expression never changed, and the killing intent between her brows never faded.
This little sister of mine... seems even more ruthless than I imagined.
"Little sister, make them stop. It feels like they're about to be beaten to death."
"Big Brother, you're just too kind. That will only make others bully you.
"When we were at the orphanage, I was bullied by the other children. You stood in front of me and fought them.
"So even though I was the smallest child in the orphanage, no one ever dared bully me.
"Big Brother, from now on, let me protect you."
Xu Yi took a deep breath. What man could endure refusing such a comfortable meal?
What respectable person doesn't eat soft rice?
"Stop. My big brother is kind and has decided to let you off."
Negative Emotion Points +500*5
The five people said nothing, merely contributing Emotion Points nonstop.
They did not even dare show a resentful look.
Xu Yi nodded. "I'm still too kind. Don't worry. Although your bodies hurt, you haven't suffered any serious injuries. You'll recover after a few days of rest."
The group wore bitter expressions.
Thank you, I guess!
At that moment, police sirens sounded outside the door.
Huang Lu raised an eyebrow. "Did you call the police?"
Lu Wei nodded nervously. "When the car crashed in, I panicked and called the police."
Li Wen's gaze was filled with threat. "You know what you should and shouldn't say later, right?"
"Yes, yes, I know."
Meng Xiang got out of the police car.
Last time, pressure from his superiors had caused two criminals to escape, leaving him extremely frustrated.
This time, nothing would stop him!
He would definitely bring evil to justice, without fearing the powerful.
My name is Tie Lin. What's yours?!
The moment he walked through the door, he was stunned by the scene inside.
