Did you eat cement? Why are you so heavy?

"A-Yan." Peng Yuyan looked at him with amusement. "The manager just told me someone used your membership information as a referral to get a new membership card.

"Did you know about this?"

"No." Shi Yan spoke lazily.

"His surname is Li." Peng Yuyan leaned over, draping one arm over the back of the sofa, and said with interest, "He also ordered a bottle of liquor. Do you know which one?"

"Are you this long-winded when you handle divorce cases too? Nothing but bullshit."

The man lounged with his long legs casually crossed, lazily swirling a glass in one hand, as though nothing could catch his attention.

"He ordered that bottle of Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl!"

Peng Yuyan slapped Shi Yan's thigh, thoroughly excited. "Not just anyone can get hold of your membership information. He must have some connection to you. Come on, spill!"

A trace of surprise appeared in Shi Yan's deep, dark eyes, but quickly vanished.

"The Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl sold?" Qi Feiyu smacked his lips regretfully. "I was thinking of opening it for a taste someday."

"We can taste liquor anytime, but gossip about A-Yan is a rare treat." Peng Yuyan looked at Shi Yan again and pressed, "Do you know that guy called Li Yi?"

"My gardener."

"Ohhh-is he the gardener at your Wisteria Garden villa?"

"Yes."

Peng Yuyan shaped two fingers into a gun against his chin, looking thoughtful. "So he's the beauty you've been hiding in your villa."

"Heh heh..." Qi Feiyu exchanged a glance with him and abruptly stood up. "Let's go take a look."

"He's in room 261."

"..."

"Come on, let's all go see what your little gardener bought such expensive liquor for." Peng Yuyan not only wanted to watch the drama himself, but insisted on dragging Shi Yan along too.

"You really do have too much time on your hands." Shi Yan gave him a disdainful look.

"I finally wrapped up a difficult divorce case. All I want now is to relax." Peng Yuyan grabbed Shi Yan's arm and pulled hard, but failed to get him up.

"Did you eat cement? Why are you so heavy?"

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow. "My weight is normal. You're the weak one. Have Qi Feiyu check you over."

"Pah! You're the weak one. I'm as strong as a wild boar. Anyone who calls me weak, I'll ram them to death!"

"Go on, try it."

"Except you. You're a terrorist even wild boars would be scared of." Peng Yuyan let go, grinning. "That stepmother of yours-her son's still mining coal in Africa, right?"

"Yes." Shi Yan finished the last of his drink and stood up. "Let's go."

"Come on, let's not miss any of the good stuff."

The three had just reached the second floor when they heard a loud crash.

"Li Yi, have you caused enough trouble yet?" Zhou Xuanze sat on the floor and roared.

"No. How could this possibly be enough?" Li Yi stood in the doorway, cradling the bottle worth a million, speaking to the people inside with a grin.

What you did back then was far worse than this. How could this little bit of revenge possibly be enough!

"Little brother, you've gone too far. This is Young Master Song's birthday party, and now you've ruined it." Lu Junjia was still fanning the flames. "Do you know who Young Master Song is?

"His family..."

"Song Tianyi, the youngest son of the Yuexiang Group, a nationally renowned home appliance company. You can find their brand in any supermarket downstairs." Li Yi looked ahead. "I'm not wrong, am I?"

"No." Song Tianyi nodded and bent down to help Zhou Xuanze up. "The birthday party is a minor matter. Let's not argue over a little disagreement and damage our relationships."

"He kicked me just because we disagreed!"

Li Xu's face flushed red with anger. Pointing at Li Yi, he shrieked, "You call this minor? Zhou Xuanze came out to put in a word for me, and he hit him without a word too. I think he's a lunatic!"

"I only kicked you because you tried to hit me." The corners of Li Yi's mouth curled up a little more. "What, am I only allowed to stand here and wait for you to hit me? I can't strike first?

"Being younger makes you right?"

"Li Yi, you bastard, I'll kill you!" Crazed with anger, Li Xu grabbed a bottle from the table and hurled it toward the door.

Crash!

The bottle smashed against the opposite wall, soaking a patch of the white surface and scattering broken glass across the floor.

"Oh dear, that almost hit my precious bottle."

Li Yi lowered his head and stroked the bottle, then looked both ways down the corridor. He immediately spotted three figures standing ahead. Without caring who they were, he rushed over and shoved the bottle into someone's arms. "Please look after this for me.

"I'll be right back. Thank you."

"Is this... Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl?" Peng Yuyan looked down at the bottle that had been thrust into Shi Yan's arms. "And almost half of it's gone."

-Bang!

Another crash came from inside.

"They're fighting pretty hard in there." Qi Feiyu folded his arms and winked at the other two. "Shall we go have a look?"

"Come on, hurry. Was that little guy even an adult? If he can't win, we can lend a hand while we're at it." Peng Yuyan chuckled. "He can thank us with this bottle."

Without the bottle in his hands, Li Yi could fight without worry. The moment he charged through the door, he punched Li Xu in the face, pinned him to the table, and beat him within an inch of his life.

He moved so fast that the others nearby froze in shock. Only when Li Xu let out agonized howls did they react.

They all scrambled to pull Li Yi away.

"Get lost!" Li Yi shouted at Song Tianyi, who was the first to reach for him. His eyes were icy and filled with hatred, like a monster that had just crawled out of a sea of blood.

Just one look from him made Song Tianyi feel chilled all over, and he involuntarily took a step back.

"Li Yi, stop." Zhou Xuanze wrapped his arms around Li Yi's waist, trying to pull him away, only to take an unexpected elbow to the nose. A warm wetness instantly flowed from his nostrils.

He had only just realized his nose was bleeding when his foot was stomped on hard. Howling, he hopped out of the fray on one foot.

Li Yi had already gone berserk, his hands covered in blood.

It was this very Li Xu who, in his previous life, had helped Lu Junjia do all sorts of vile things, openly and in secret, targeting him time after time, humiliating him and turning him into the biggest joke among all the wealthy families.

At this birthday party, they had called him over and coaxed him into drinking, then taken advantage of his drunkenness to trick him into doing all kinds of humiliating things.

And Li Xu had filmed it all and posted it in their wealthy circle's entertainment group chat.

Making him the laughingstock of all Beicheng!

At the thought, Li Yi struck even harder, aiming every blow at Li Xu's face.

Xu Ming and Lu Junjia each grabbed one of Li Yi's hands, but even they could not stop his determination to beat Li Xu.

"Ow!" Xu Ming and Lu Junjia sprang away, clutching their feet.

The cleats Li Yi had specially changed into were excellent for stomping on people. One stomp for each person-what a rush!

"Tsk, tsk... How awful, how awful." Peng Yuyan reached the doorway first and leaned against it, clicking his tongue and shaking his head as he watched.

Shi Yan's eyes were slightly lowered, his expression somewhat gloomy, as he stepped toward the doorway.
