After being hit, he still says don't hurt him. Is this kid sick?

As the opponent's fist was about to reach his face, Li Kuo suddenly shouted for his friends not to harm the opponent. However, Ren Ying and Lei Xiaolei must find a way to prevent the opponent from hurting Li Kuo, even if they don't injure him.

Yet, they both were shocked to find that they were too late. Who exactly was this guy who suddenly appeared?

'Whoosh.'

Seeing the fist approaching, Li Kuo quickly shut his eyes, as if ready to take the hit.

However, there was no pain on his face. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that Xiaofan had caught the opponent's fist just in time.

"Hey, let's talk this out calmly." Xiaofan was somewhat surprised by the opponent's strength. It was no wonder that earlier, when he went downstairs, he saw him knock back Li San with a single punch.

But the man was even more shocked. He hadn't expected that in the city, a young guy like this could catch his fist.

"Bro... Li Kuo." A woman ran over with her face full of worry, hurriedly grabbing the man's arm, afraid he might do something out of line again.

Li Kuo slowly climbed up from the ground. Seeing the woman, his expression was slightly bitter, filled with apology.

"That punch you threw earlier could have killed someone. What's so urgent that it made you act so violently from the get-go?" Xiaofan asked gently.

Ren Ying and others slowly approached behind Xiaofan, clearly ready to stand on a united front. If the opponent tried anything again, they wouldn't let it slide easily.

In the midst of misfortune, there was a great fortune; if it had been an assassin just now, Li Kuo might have lost his life in that instant.

However, it wasn't that Ren Ying and others were negligent; rather, the man in front of them, although tall and sturdy, had no killing qi on his face besides anger. Otherwise, they would not have let him get close to Li Kuo in that situation.

The man obviously only intended to teach Li Kuo a lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn't have started with a slap but would have used a punch from the beginning. He was also intimidated by Li San's strength, which is why he acted so harshly in a moment of panic. Of course, even if he injured someone, he wouldn't regret it.

"Such scum, it doesn't matter if he dies. Does he think he's great just because he has a bit of money? Scumbag."

"Hey, how can you talk like that? Who are you, exactly?" Hearing someone talk about his friend, Li San immediately became displeased.

"Hmph, I respect your skills, but if it really came down to a life-or-death fight, I wouldn't necessarily fear you." The man tried to push away his sister, seeming ready to make a move again.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's make things clear first. What did Li Kuo do that makes him such scum?" Xiaofan quickly waved his hand, noticing Li Kuo's troubled expression.

"Hmph, toying with emotions and then abandoning them. I originally thought this kid was a good person, but it turns out he's nothing but an emotional con artist. Yes, our Han Family is poor and can't match you wealthy people, but we have pride. Ask him, what did he do to my sister?"

"Brother... stop talking. Let's go back. Let this matter pass, don't bother with it anymore."

"Let it go? How can I swallow this indignation? Today, I must make this kid give you an explanation. Why did he abandon my sister?" The man pointed at Li Kuo and yelled.

"Wow, so it's a family dispute, after all, huh..." Li San, hearing this, pursed his lips and relaxed his vigilance.

Seeing Li Kuo slightly bow his head and look away, Xiaofan seemed to understand.

"Hey, I suggest this: we have important matters to attend to now. Can your issue wait until we return?" Xiaofan gently suggested.

"No way, it must be resolved now. Otherwise, how will I find you later?" The man insisted relentlessly.

"Alright then, Li Kuo, do you have anything to say?" Xiaofan turned to look at his good friend.

"Nothing, Xiaofan, just step aside. If he's going to hit me, let him do it."

"Hey, you bastard..." Seeing Li Kuo's unflappable demeanor, anger flared up in the man's heart, and he stepped forward aggressively.

"Hey, hey, really, alright, we truly have something important to handle now. How about you come with us? Once we're done, we can sit down and talk. We're not unreasonable people. Li San, drive..." Xiaofan stopped the man again, tossing the keys to Li San after speaking. He then took the car key from Li Kuo's hand, unlocked the car electronically, and found the company car.

The man also felt what Xiaofan said made sense, so he calmed down and walked over with his sister.

The young woman clearly didn't want to follow. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Li Kuo and softly asked, "Sorry, are you okay?"

"I'm fine... It's not your fault; it's my mistake."

On the way, no one spoke. Xiaofan deliberately let Li Kuo and the brother-and-sister duo stay apart. Even if he didn't ask, Xiaofan probably guessed the gist of it. Perhaps the situation was quite similar to his own.

Li Zhongran's secretary during his lifetime was named Chen Lanfen, 26 years old this year. She had worked beside Li Zhongran for three years and was always very diligent. However, just a few days ago, after Li Zhongran disappeared, she was inexplicably fired.

Finding a good job in Capital City these days is not easy, and working under such a large company like Li Zhongran's, the benefits were undoubtedly excellent. Now, being inexplicably dismissed, even with an additional three months' salary, at most, she could stay in Capital City a little longer.

Consequently, Chen Lanfen began searching for other jobs outside. This morning, she went out early, and by noon, she was hungry, so she bought lunch outside intending to eat at home before taking a nap and continuing the job search in the afternoon.

However, just as she took out the key to unlock her door, a group of people started walking towards her.

"Miss Li." Xiaofan greeted her first.

"Who are you guys?" Li Lanfen looked at Xiaofan and the others warily.

"Miss Li Lanfen, do you remember me?" Li Kuo also stepped out from the crowd.

"Hmm? Young Master Li? Why are you here?"

"Can we go inside and talk? I want to ask you some questions about my dad and also about why you were inexplicably fired." Li Kuo asked gently.

"Okay. Come in then."

"Sorry for the intrusion."

There seemed to be a few too many people, but with important matters at hand, such a small issue wasn't worth holding onto. If all goes well, today, from Li Zhongran's former secretary, they should be able to learn more information.
