Chapter 938: Chapter 979: Hillside ConflictChu Xiaoyao was just about to catch a beautiful butterfly when a group of four men blocked her, causing her to miss it, which left her already annoyed. Upon hearing their words, her irritation grew even more. She glared at them and exclaimed, "Move aside! Go wherever itâs cool."
"Man, this mountain girl really has some spunk," Gu Yandong laughed heartily, finding Chu Xiaoyao and Meng Xiaofei even more intriguing. He had attended too many Sea Sky Feasts and high-profile parties, grown indifferent to the allure of major celebrities and socialites. Meng Xiaofei and Chu Xiaoyao, who dared to show their temper right in his face, instantly piqued his interest.
"Itâs your family who are mountain folks!" Xiaoyao retorted fiercely, glaring back at Gu Yandong.
"How dare you!" A man from behind Gu roared with profound authority, a tactic that could easily intimidate ordinary people.
Gu Yandong waved his hand and said, "Donât scare her." He then smiled warmly at Xiaoyao and said, "Little sister, donât be afraid, I like you girls, I find you quite appealing. Iâm not very familiar with this place, could you show us around a bit?"
Chu Xiaoyao frowned and replied, "Weâre not familiar either. Also, could you stop using such clichĂŠ moves to flirt? Itâs really annoying."
Since the butterfly was gone, Chu Xiaoyao didnât bother talking any further. She grabbed Little Yifei and said to Meng Xiaofei, "Sister Xiaofei, letâs go."
Just as the trio tried to leave, two men blocked their path. Xiaoyao glared at them, asking, "What do you think youâre doing?"
"One does not leave without Young Master Guâs permission!" one of the men stated flatly.
"Just because he says I canât leave means I canât? Is he the Jade Emperor? Get out of my way!" Xiaoyao was unafraid and reached out to push the man blocking their path.
The man didnât even try to dodge, allowing Xiaoyaoâs hands to push against his chest, but his body didnât budge. Xiaoyao exerted more force, yet she still couldnât move him.
"Little Sister, save your energy. They wonât let you go without my say so," Gu Yandong said with a grin from behind.
Instantly, Xiaoyao whipped around, glaring at Gu Yandong and demanded, "What do you want?"
Gu smiled gently, still appearing quite cultured, and said, "When Gu Yandong wants something done, everyone has to agree."
"You really think youâre all that, huh? Let me tell you, you better let us go now, or else when my uncle arrives, heâll flatten you with a slap."
Gu narrowed his eyes, replying, "What an interesting young lady. But just so you know, I donât take threats lightly, and usually, those who threaten me end up quite miserable."
Xiaoyao grimaced and said, "Youâre so full of yourself; I canât be bothered with your nonsense."
Still handsome, Gu turned away, putting his hands behind his back, "Well, well, itâs not often someone dares to insult me. Iâm starting to like you even more. Alright, if you manage to leave today, Iâll let you go."
"What nonsense, if we leave, we wonât need your permission!"
Chu Xiaoyao and Meng Xiaofei tried to walk around, but the two men quickly blocked them again. Even turning back, those two were still in their way.
Though neither Chu Xiaoyao nor Meng Xiaofei knew martial arts, it was clear these two were formidable. Leaving on their own wasnât an option.
"Ladies, I merely wanted your company to show us around, hereâs ten thousand yuan. Agree to it, and this money is yours," Gu Yandong said, as he took a stack of bills from an associate and flaunted it in front of Chu Xiaoyao and Meng Xiaofei.
Gu was wealthy and used his money to influence countless women, who inevitably ended up in his bed, compliant to his every wish. He presumed these two small-town girls would be effortlessly dazzled by his wealth.
Chu Xiaoyao snorted and retorted, "Could you be less of a show-off? Itâs just some measly money. Do you think Iâm broke?"
When Gu Yandong saw her reaction, he realized that ten thousand was too trivial for her gaze and simply smiled lightly, saying, "Is that too little? Fine, Iâll make it a million for one night with me, think of it as pocket money."
By now, Little Yifei was losing patience, pulling at both Chu Xiaoyao and Meng Xiaofeiâs hands, "Sister Xiaoyao, Aunt Xiaofei, I want to go home now, theyâre bad people, I donât want to play with them."
Meng Xiaofei, who hadnât spoken much because Xiaoyao always cut in, quickly assured Little Yifei, "Yifei, donât worry, dad will find us soon."
Chu Xiaoyao squinted at Gu, asking, "Are you really not going to let us leave?"
Still maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, Gu replied, "Indeed, only if you agree, then Iâll let you go."
Suddenly, Chu Xiaoyaoâs face broke into a sly grin, then she began to scream, "Help! Help!"
Gu broke into laughter, "Quite a spirited girl who knows to cry for help. But, I forgot to mention, no matter how much you yell, itâs useless. I have three experts with me; ordinary people would be subdued by just a flick of their finger. Even if you call the cops, they wouldnât dare meddle in Gu Yandongâs affairs."
Chu Xiaoyaoâs smile on her face grew even brighter, and she said, "Ordinary people canât provoke you, neither can the police, but my uncle can definitely provoke you." SŃarch* The NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Really? Then I must see who dares to provoke me, Gu Yandong."
Gu Yandong had some influence in certain areas, but in a small place like Mile City, he had enough capital to be arrogant. He couldnât believe that with his status, he couldnât dominate this small city outright.
"Uncle, weâre here!"
"Brother Li!"
"Daddy daddy!"
At this moment, Li Yifei had just rounded the hillside and was sprinting towards them; Chu Xiaoyao and the others had been watching intently and immediately started shouting loudly.
As soon as Li Yifei turned the hillside, he saw the situation and felt relieved. He had heard Chu Xiaoyao calling for help and thought she might have encountered something particularly dangerous, but now it seemed there was no danger, just that she was being harassed by four men.
Thus, Li Yifei immediately slowed down his pace. Although still running, he was now moving at the speed of a normal person.
"Daddy, some bad people are bullying us!" Little Yifei exclaimed as soon as Li Yifei approached.
Li Yifei immediately responded, "Donât be afraid, daughter. Who is bullying you? Daddy will beat them up for you."
"Itâs them!" Little Yifei angrily pointed at Gu Yandong.
Gu Yandong, still wearing his trademark smile, said, "I am Gu Yandong, and Iâve taken a liking to these two girls."
Li Yifei looked at Gu Yandong, somewhat surprised. In Mile City, he had encountered several pretentious second-generation officials. They were indeed arrogant sometimes but quite inferior compared to Gu Yandong. At least those people, even if they wanted to harass someone, would at least find an excuse. Gu Yandong, however, was too direct and overly domineering.
And being so domineering, with three capable-looking subordinates by his side, Gu Yandong clearly had some background.
But Li Yifei was no longer the previous Li Yifei; he was now establishing his own family and stepping into the foreground. The honor of the Li family was very important. If he allowed others to bully him so easily, even failing to protect his own woman and daughter, how could he face establishing his family in the future?
Thus, Li Yifei sternly shouted, "All of you, get lost!"
Gu Yandong smiled as if he had seen something amusing, "Kid, I admire your courage. Protecting your people is indeed what a man should do, but that also requires strength. Gu Ji, teach him a lesson."
A man immediately charged at Li Yifei, moving extremely fast, and threw a punch straight at Li Yifeiâs chest.
Gu Yandong had seen such scenes countless times; at his command, his subordinate would strike, and the opponent would be sent flyingâan event that always brought him pleasure.
"Ah!" With a scream, Gu Yandongâs smile intensified, but it suddenly froze because, this time, it wasnât the opponent who flew out; it was his subordinate, Gu Ji.
Li Yifei calmly walked up next to Chu Xiaoyao and her group, scooped up Little Yifei, and said, "Good girl, remember, we shouldnât bully the good people, but we donât need to be polite to the bad ones."
Little Yifei vigorously nodded, "Daddy, I remember."
Gu Yandong, although surprised, didnât panic. He sized up Li Yifei and slowly said, "Kid, I didnât see that coming, youâve got some moves."
Chu Xiaoyao snorted, "Donât think just because you brought three lackeys, youâre anything special. In front of uncle, youâre nothing."
Gu Yandong smiled slightly, "Is that so? Well then, Gu Gan, Gu Kuang, break this guyâs arms."
"Yes!"
The other two subordinates then responded at once, pressing towards Li Yifei. However, they didnât attack immediately as they could tell that Li Yifei was a skilled martial artist and quite strongâGu Jiâs defeat had been careless, but without significant skill, he couldnât have been hurt by the opponent.
"Hereâs your chance, put the child down," Gu Kuang harshly spoke, with Gu Gan beside him as they halted in front of Li Yifei.
Li Yifei scoffed disdainfully, "To deal with you, I hardly need to bother too much, one foot is already enough."
"You arrogant kid!" Angered, Gu Kuang and Gu Gan simultaneously attacked Li Yifei.
