"Little Yi, what's going on?"

Xu Yi lowered his head, looking wronged.

"I worked for them, but they refused to pay me and even mocked me. They said I was an orphan..."

[Guilt Points +100]

Zhang Yu: "???"

When did I say that!

Lu Wei looked at Zhang Yu with the expression of someone watching an idiot.

Li Wen's face was filled with rage, "Damn it! This is too much... Who refused to pay?"

The three female office workers and Lu Wei pointed at Zhang Yu in unison.

Slap~

Li Wen had a bad temper and, without a word, landed several slaps, making her eyes see stars.

It could be said that Li Wen's current bottom line was the fact that Xu Yi was an orphan.

No one dared to make a sound.

Lu Wei said with a fawning smile, "Manager Li, you've already hit her, let's just let this go."

"Impossible!"

"Manager Li, your nephew crashed the car. None of us are in the right here."

Li Wen: "This is too much!"

"Yes, yes, it's indeed too much." Lu Wei nodded in full agreement.

"What exactly did you all insult him with for him to lose his mind like this? It's outrageous! Just hearing about it, I feel suffocated."

Lu Wei: "???"

Brother, do you even know what you're saying?

Xu Yi let out a cold laugh. Reason? You, a nobody, want to reason with the Chairman?

Childish, this is hilarious.

"Give Little Yi the money he's owed, and everyone apologize to him. Then this matter will be over."

"But the losses in our store..."

"You're dreaming."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

Lu Wei's face turned extremely ugly. Apologizing? He could endure that.

After all, face wasn't worth much.

But the losses were different, preliminarily estimated at fifty to sixty thousand.

If you don't compensate, then I have to bear the responsibility.

Who could stand that?

Therefore, after more than ten seconds of hesitation, Lu Wei decisively shook his head.

"No! I must receive compensation. Once the compensation is in place, I will definitely apologize to him."

Li Wen's expression turned cold, his tone filled with intense pressure.

"I'll give you one more chance to rephrase that."

"I want compensation!"

"Manager Li, Furun Group is indeed powerful, but we are also a company in Magic City. If it really comes down to a lawsuit, it's not certain who will win or lose."

Li Wen laughed in anger, "Alright, alright, you're trying to pressure me with Magic City?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

Zhang Yu looked at Lu Wei with extreme admiration, "Brother Wei, you're so amazing~ You can even stand up to the Chairman of Furun Group. You've got so much spirit."

"Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay."

Feeling the admiring gazes from the four women, Lu Wei's back straightened considerably.

Zhang Yu became even bolder, "Manager Li, the store has surveillance cameras. We'll see you in court."

Xu Yi delivered a flying kick, sending her sprawling onto the ground.

"See you in court? You won't even make it to the underworld."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Zhang Yu: Speak up for me...

But no one cared about Zhang Yu's miserable state anymore.

The atmosphere had become tense, a stalemate.

Neither side was willing to back down.

However, Li Wen had already developed murderous intent.

Regardless of the outcome today, they wouldn't be able to stay in Port City anymore.

At this moment, a pleasant voice came from the doorway.

"Brother, how are you? Are you okay?"

As Xu Yi expected, Huang Lu also carefully checked Xu Yi all over.

Her soft, fair little hands pinched and massaged him everywhere.

"It's good there are no external injuries."

"No, it's highly likely there are internal injuries."

Xu Yi: "..."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

[Shock Points +500]

Lu Wei, standing behind them, had his mouth wide open, his pupils constricting.

"Young Miss...! Why are you here?"

Slap~

A crisp sound echoed, and the entire hall fell silent.

Lu Wei clutched his face, trembling under Huang Lu's icy gaze.

"Are these the people who bullied my brother?"

Lu Wei shook his head desperately, his eyes filled with terror. "No, no. How could I dare bully your brother?"

Damn it! How can the Young Miss always be your sister?

Why are all the awesome people your relatives?

Seriously, is your father God?

Lu Wei's heart trembled wildly, and he mentally cursed the four stupid women to death.

One second he was still smug about his company being from Magic City, and the next he was being slapped in the face by the Young Miss of Magic City.

What a bitter fate...

[Shock Points 400*4]

The four female office workers behind him weren't faring any better than Lu Wei.

Especially Zhang Yu, her brain had crashed, and her eyes were vacant.

So what he said before was true!

This company was indeed bought to be given to him.

But he didn't want it? And he wanted to drive a ride-hailing car to earn money...

What a lunatic!

Seeing the awkward silence, Xu Yi stepped forward to smooth things over.

"It's okay, little sister. They didn't really bully me. They just asked me to say my last words. They also said things like I don't deserve my sister..."

[Negative Emotion Points +400]

[Negative Emotion Points +400]

[... ]

The five of them: "⊙?6?6⊙!"

When did we say that?

Is your background this 'green tea' appropriate?

"Sister, please forgive them. At least I'm still alive."

Brother, please stop being so 'green tea'.

If you keep being this 'green tea', we're going to lose our lives.

At this moment, Huang Lu's pretty face was covered in frost, her teeth clenched tightly.

"Break their legs."

The bodyguards behind her immediately carried out the order, their attacks fierce and causing immense pain, but not fatal.

Clearly, these bodyguards were professionally trained. Judging by their demeanor, Xu Yi guessed they were likely retired special forces soldiers.

Only the heart-wrenching screams of a few people remained.

Even Xu Yi felt a pang of fear watching.

But Huang Lu's expression remained unchanged, the killing intent in her brows never receding.

This sister of mine… seems more ruthless than I imagined.

"Sister, tell them to stop, they're almost dead."

"Brother, you're just too kind. People will take advantage of you like this.

Back at the orphanage, I was bullied by other kids. You stood in front of me and fought them.

That's why, even though I was the smallest in the orphanage, no one dared to bully me.

Brother, from now on, I'll protect you."

Xu Yi took a deep breath. What man could resist eating this kind of "soft rice"?

What decent person doesn't eat "soft rice"?

"Stop, my brother is kind and plans to let you go."

[Negative Emotion Points +500*5]

The five men remained silent, only contributing their Emotion Points.

They didn't even dare to glare resentfully.

Xu Yi nodded, "I'm still too kind. Don't worry, even though your bodies hurt, there are no broken bones. You'll be fine in a few days."

The men wore pained expressions. Thank you so much!

Just then, police sirens wailed outside.

Huang Lu raised an eyebrow, "Did you call the police?"

Lu Wei nodded fearfully, "When the car crashed in, I panicked and called the police."

Li Wen's eyes were full of menace, "What to say and what not to say later. Understand?"

"Got it, got it."

Meng Xiang got out of the police car.

Last time, pressure from his superiors had caused him to let two criminals escape, which had frustrated him immensely.

This time, nothing would save them!

He would bring evil to justice, no matter the power.

My name is Tie Lin, what's yours?!

As soon as he walked through the door, he was stunned by the scene inside.
