Intense pain shot through Su Qingfeng, and she screamed in agony. She looked closely. The person before her was none other than that damned beggar who was courting death. That's right, the one who had grabbed her wrist was Lin Xiao.

"You damned beggar, let go of me!" Su Qingfeng roared.

Lin Xiao let out a cold laugh. "You dare to hit my wife? You really have a death wish."

The moment Su Qingning saw Lin Xiao, she felt like a lone boat on a vast ocean finally reaching shore. An inexplicable sense of security washed over her. She didn't even understand why, especially after hearing Lin Xiao's domineering words. Her beautiful, peach blossom-like eyes instantly reddened—not with frustration, but with a profound, unprecedented sense of being touched.

"You damned beggar, are you looking for death? Let go of my wife now!" Li Jinlong roared.

Lin Xiao sneered, "Alright then!"

The words had barely left his lips.

CRACK!

A sharp snap echoed. Lin Xiao had snapped Su Qingfeng's wrist. The bones shattered into fragments.

Pain. It was a heart-wrenching pain that made Su Qingfeng shriek, her piercing scream like that of a pig being slaughtered. The moment Lin Xiao tossed her hand aside, she collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

Upon seeing this, Li Jinlong's heart leaped with joy.

To be frank, he didn't like Su Qingfeng one bit. The only reason he'd married her was for the business alliance between the Li and Su Families. He was pleased because he felt he could use this opportunity to manipulate Su Qingning. As for Su Qingfeng's life or death, he couldn't care less.

Seeing the worry brimming in Su Qingning's eyes, Li Jinlong's face twisted into a sinister sneer.

"Good, very good. Su Qingning, if you don't want me to send this damned beggar to the station, then get in the car with me for a chat!"

Su Qingning's face turned deathly pale again. She'd had a bad feeling the moment Lin Xiao made his move, and sure enough, her fears were realized. Although she was disgusted by this piece of trash who didn't care about his own wife, her heart pounded with panic when she thought about the Li Family's power and influence. She couldn't bear to watch Lin Xiao be dragged away.

"Li Jinlong, it was wrong of my husband to hit someone. I apologize, and I'm willing to pay for all the medical expenses."

Honestly, as she spoke those words, Su Qingning felt suffocated. It was clearly Li Jinlong and Su Qingfeng who had started the trouble and hurled so many insults at her, yet now she was the one forced to apologize. But to save Lin Xiao from being arrested, she knew she had to swallow her pride.

Lin Xiao, however, was dumbfounded. He stared at Su Qingning in utter bewilderment. "Honey, he's just a piece of trash. Why are you afraid of him?"

"Shut your mouth!" Su Qingning snapped, her expression darkening. What is he thinking at a time like this? Can't he see I'm trying to de-escalate the situation?

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Li Jinlong grew even more arrogant. She's scared. This is exactly the result I wanted.

"You damned beggar, are you trying to make me call the police right now? Let me tell you something, the chief of the city bureau, Bai Xiangqian, is a good friend of my father. Dealing with scum like you would be easier than squashing an ant!"

Lin Xiao chuckled. Another one who doesn't know what's good for him.

But Su Qingning's panic intensified. She knew Li Jinlong wasn't bluffing. Bai Xiangqian had indeed attended his wedding to Su Qingfeng. If Li Jinlong made that call, Lin Xiao might never get out of prison.

"Li Jinlong, my husband didn't mean to do it, please don't take it to heart. How about this? I'm willing to give you one million yuan as compensation, alright?" Su Qingning pleaded, her voice low and submissive.

"Oh? Are you trying to get rid of me like a beggar, Su Qingning?" Li Jinlong scoffed.

"Then how much do you want?" Su Qingning said helplessly. "Name your price."

She knew Lin Xiao had caused huge trouble. This wouldn't be resolved without several million yuan. Still, she didn't blame him, because she knew he was only trying to defend her. Unfortunately, his thinking was too simple. He believed every problem in the world could be solved with brute force. Of course, force wasn't always useless, but only if one's power was overwhelming. And as far as she knew, Lin Xiao had no real power, nor was he a Martial Artist.

"Hmph, I don't want money," Li Jinlong said with a sinister smile. "I told you already. As long as you get in the car and keep me company for a little chat, we'll call it even for today." He then added, "Oh, and one more thing. While I'm having my fun with you, I want this damned beggar to stand outside and watch!"

Frost instantly crept over Su Qingning's stunningly beautiful face. I never imagined this scumbag could be so shameless. She desperately wanted to tell him he was daydreaming, but she didn't dare. Saying that would only infuriate him more, and that would put Lin Xiao in an even worse position.

Lin Xiao was enraged. Utterly enraged.

I'm standing right here. How can I let this trash bully my wife like this?

"You're courting death! Today, I'll show you the price for bullying my wife!" Lin Xiao said icily.

"Tch, you filthy beggar, you want to fight me?" Li Jinlong said with contempt. "Go on, then! I dare you to touch me!" Fucking hell. A stinking beggar dares to act tough in front of me? He really has a death wish.

Su Qingning saw Lin Xiao's face turn ashen, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. She knew he was furious.

To be honest, I want to beat Li Jinlong to a pulp myself and vent all this frustration. But with our backgrounds, if we actually attacked him, our lives would be over.

As this thought crossed her mind, Su Qingning moved to stop Lin Xiao. But it was too late.

Like a lightning bolt, Lin Xiao shot forward and kicked Li Jinlong.

THUD!

With a dull bang, Li Jinlong's body flew through the air, tumbling for more than ten meters before crashing to a stop. The moment he landed, a shocking spray of blood erupted from his mouth.

Li Jinlong struggled to his feet, roaring, "You damned beggar, you're fucking dead!"

No, Lin Xiao hadn't killed him. The only reason was Su Qingning. If he killed him right in front of her, who knows how badly it would traumatize her. However, this piece of trash wouldn't be living much longer. Lin Xiao had already decided to kill him. He would just find a time when Su Qingning wasn't around and snuff him out.

Seeing this, Su Qingning panicked. She was utterly terrified, her mind a chaotic mess.

Lin Xiao's heart ached seeing her so flustered. He was just about to say something to comfort her when Su Qingning suddenly pulled a bank card from her pocket.

"Lin Xiao," she said in a frantic rush, "there's five million yuan on this card. T-Take it and run! Go now!"
