Luo Li, just wait-you'll spend the rest of your life in prison!

Murong Xue's anger, after realizing that she could not suppress Luo Li through conventional means, did not extinguish but instead burned brighter and brighter, like dry wood doused with oil.

Her failure in the private bounty business made her feel like a clown; all her power and background seemed to have no effect in front of that man.

This feeling of being out of control drove her almost insane.

She mobilized more resources and investigated everything about Luo Li in greater detail.

Soon, the investigation results were presented to her.

Luo Li's social relationships are relatively simple. His childhood friend Yang Shan is a key member of the patrol team, and taking action against him could easily provoke a backlash from the military system; his live-in "cousin" has a mysterious identity and unclear abilities, and is inseparable from Luo Li, making her difficult to target; his older cousin Yu Qian is an internet celebrity with high public attention...

Finally, her gaze settled on the last line of the document— Luo Li's parents, Luo Mingyuan and Zhou Wan.

Two ordinary middle school teachers, not yet retired, live in an old residential building in another district of Jiangcheng. They go to work and leave work on time every day, their lives as regular as clockwork.

An ordinary person.

No background information.

No special abilities.

A perfect weakness.

Murong Xue lightly touched the two names with her bright red nail polished fingers, a cold and cruel smile curving her lips.

"Luo Li... you're really good at fighting, right? You care a lot about the people around you, right?"

"I'll see if you can still be this arrogant when your dearest parents suffer unjustly because of you!"

She immediately summoned her trusted confidant and whispered some instructions.

A few days later, one evening, Luo Li had just finished a private bounty and was about to go home when she received a tearful phone call from her mother, Zhou Wan.

"Xiao Li... did you get into some trouble outside?"

Luo Li's heart skipped a beat, and her tone immediately turned serious. "Mom, what's wrong? Tell me slowly."

"These past few days... there have been some strange people... loitering around outside your dad's school and my school... This afternoon, on his way home from get off work, your dad was ambushed by a few thugs... They accused him of failing to raise his son properly, shoved him a few times, and even... threw his lesson plans on the ground..."

Zhou Wan's voice was filled with fear and grievance. "Your dad was furious and argued with them for a bit, and they were about to hit you... Luckily, a neighbor happened to be passing by... Xiao Li, who did you offend? They said they'd make you... make you pay..."

As Luo Li listened to his mother's suppressed sobs on the other end of the phone, he felt the blood rush to his head, and an uncontrollable Wrath erupted in his chest like a volcano.

Murong Xue!!

How dare you--!!!

Harming my family?!

Luo Li's eyes instantly became bloodshot, and her knuckles turned white from gripping the phone so tightly.

He forcefully suppressed the roar that was about to burst from his throat and reassured her in the calmest possible voice, "Mom, don't be afraid, it's alright."

Tell my dad to avoid going out alone for the next few days, and wait for me to handle it.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Li stood there, the icy aura emanating from him causing passersby to instinctively avoid him.

He dialed Yang Shan's number directly.

"Shan Zai, find out who was behind this attack near my dad's school this afternoon. Hurry!"

Yang Shan sensed something was off about his tone, but without asking further questions, he immediately used his connections within the patrol team to investigate.

Less than half an hour later, a message came in—it was from several thugs who often loitered in the area and had criminal records, and it seemed to point to an underground gang connected to the Murong Family.

The address is also attached.

Luo Li stared at the message on her phone, her eyes as cold as the Siberia wind.

He didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even take Enma.

We don't need weapons to deal with these scum.

He directly used [Space Folding], his figure flashing several times in the shadows of the city, quickly heading towards the billiard hall in the old town that reeked of musty smells and cheap alcohol.

The dimly lit and noisy billiard hall was filled with smoke.

Several slick-looking young men with tattoos were loudly boasting about their daytime "victories" around the pool table.

"Hey, that old man, he's turned pale with fright!"

A blond-haired guy smugly gulped down a mouthful of beer.

"You dare glare at me? If someone hadn't walked by, I would have made him bedridden for days!"

"That's right! If we do a good job on what Miss Murong asked us to do, we'll definitely get our share of the rewards!" another bald man chimed in.

Just then--

Bang!!!

The billiard hall's flimsy door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, the loud noise instantly drowning out all the other sounds.

Amidst the flying sawdust, a figure stood against the faint light from outside the door, looking like a demon.

His gaze, like a cold searchlight, instantly locked onto the repulsive faces that might have appeared before his father during the day, beside the pool table.

"Who the hell...?"

Just as Huang Mao was about to curse, he met Luo Li's cold gaze, and the words caught in his throat.

The entire billiard hall fell silent instantly, and everyone felt a suffocating pressure.

"Who... who are you?" the bald man asked, mustering his courage, but his voice trembled slightly.

Luo Li did not answer.

His figure moved like a ghost.

No nonsense, no warnings.

Let's get started!

Bang!

Before the blond-haired man could even see the movement, he felt a shattering pain in his nose. His vision went black, and blood mixed with snot and tears gushed out. He flew backward, crashed heavily against the wall, and slid down without a sound.

"Fuck! Get him!"

The bald man and the others reacted quickly, grabbing pool cues and bottles and charging forward.

However, in the face of the Wrath Luo Li, these ordinary people moved as slowly as snails.

He didn't even use [Time Retardation], relying solely on [Super-Speed Reaction] and his enhanced physical abilities.

He dodged the swinging cue stick by sidestepping, grabbed his opponent's wrist with his backhand, and twisted it forcefully!

Click!

A sickening cracking sound rang out, accompanied by a piercing scream.

He raised his foot and kicked a thug who was charging at him with a bottle. The man's chest throbbed as if he had been hit by a truck, and he crashed into two pool tables before coming to a stop.

Another person tried to sneak up from behind, but Luo Li seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. With a clean and decisive elbow strike, she hit the other person directly in the temple, and the person collapsed to the ground without even uttering a sound.

Less than ten seconds.

The thugs who were so arrogant just moments before were now all lying on the ground, some with broken arms or legs, others unconscious, groaning in pain.

Luo Li stood in the center of the messy billiard hall, her breathing not even becoming rapid.

He walked up to the blond guy who had initially been shouting, stepped on his only intact hand, and applied slight pressure.

"Ah--!!!" The blond-haired man was jolted awake from his unconsciousness by excruciating pain, letting out a pig-like scream.

"Tell me, who ordered them?"

Luo Li's voice was icy cold, devoid of any human emotion.

"It's... it's Miss Murong... Murong Xue... Spare me... Big brother, spare me..."

With tears streaming down his face, the blond-haired man betrayed his employer without hesitation.

The cold light in Luo Li's eyes intensified.

It really was her!

He pushed off with his feet again.

Click!

Huang Mao's last intact hand was also rendered useless, and he completely passed out.

Luo Li looked around at the scum of society on the ground, and the violence in his heart had not been completely quelled.

To harm his family is to provoke him.

This is what happens!

He took out his phone, ready to call Yang Shan and ask him to handle the aftermath.

However, the instant he dialed the number—

Woo-la--woo-la--!

The piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, quickly enveloping the entire billiard hall.

Numerous police cars and vehicles from the guild's law enforcement team completely blocked the front and back entrances.

Fully armed law enforcement officers rushed in, their guns instantly pointed at Luo Li, who was standing in the center.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

A middle-aged man in a law enforcement captain's uniform with a stern face walked in. His gaze swept over the thugs lying on the ground, badly injured, and finally landed on Luo Li, his eyes sharp.

"Luo Li, we received a report that you intentionally injured someone here using extremely cruel methods! You are now being arrested on suspicion of intentional assault! You have the right to remain silent..."

Luo Li looked at the law enforcement officers who quickly brought the scene under control, and then at the thugs on the ground who, though in a pitiful state, were not dead, and instantly understood.

This is a trap.

Murong Xue had long anticipated that he would be provoked and seek revenge on these thugs.

So she set a trap beforehand, waiting for him to make a move, and then immediately called the police to arrest him.

Witnesses (these thugs), physical evidence (the mess and injuries at the scene), motive (avoiding revenge for his father)... everything is there.

Even if he claims that the other party harassed his family first, without direct evidence that these thugs were related to Murong Xue, and given the severity of his attack, the claim of "self-defense" is difficult to substantiate.

"Intentional injury"? "Cruel methods"?

Luo Li looked at the righteous and stern law enforcement captain and suddenly chuckled softly.

His smile was full of sarcasm.

He put down his phone, offered no resistance, and allowed two law enforcement officers to approach and handcuff him.

Just as he was about to be put into the police car, he saw through the car window a luxury sedan slowly approaching from the shadows at the street corner.

The car window rolled down, revealing Murong Xue's face, which was filled with smugness, resentment, and a hint of morbid excitement.

She silently mouthed something in Luo Li's direction, a triumphant smile on her face.

Luo Li understood her lip reading--

"Luo Li, you can expect to spend your whole life in jail!"
