As Chen Liuzhi approached, the crowd that had surrounded Li Hu and his sister automatically parted.
Li Hu had initially been fearful of Chen Liuzhi, but now, blinded by rage, he looked at Chen Liuzhi with anger in his eyes as the man walked up to him.
Li Hu's sister, fearing he would act rashly, quickly pulled him into her arms.
However, Chen Liuzhi seemed not to notice Li Hu's glare. He smiled at Li Hu's sister and said, "Yanzi, you should already know my feelings for you. Today, I just want to ask you what you really mean."
After speaking, Chen Liuzhi stared intently at Li Hu's sister, Li Yan, without blinking.
Li Yan had wanted to refuse, but when she saw Chen Liuzhi and the menacing figures behind him, she hesitated.
She knew very well that if she refused, with Chen Liuzhi's cruel nature, he would immediately have his men beat her brother half to death.
But she couldn't bring herself to agree to him against her will.
Thinking back, if she hadn't come to the Baihu Mountain market to help her brother with his stall, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Half a year ago, Li Hu's company went bankrupt, and after being idle for more than half a month, he decided to buy some goods and set up a stall at the Baihu Mountain market to earn some pocket money.
When Li Yan found out, feeling sorry for her brother and fearing he would get tired, she would occasionally come to help him out.
Who would have thought that one day, while Li Yan was helping him sell things and Li Hu had gone out to buy a lunchbox, Chen Liuzhi passed by with his men.
Chen Liuzhi, upon seeing Li Yan, was immediately mesmerized.
Logically speaking, Chen Liuzhi, having reached his current status, had been involved with many women. However, in his eyes, Li Yan was completely different from any woman he had known before, giving him the urge to marry her.
From then on, Chen Liuzhi frequently visited Li Hu's stall.
After a few visits, Li Hu and his sister Li Yan became aware of Chen Liuzhi's intentions.
On the surface, Li Hu went along with Chen Liuzhi, but when he returned home, he told Li Yan not to go to the Baihu Mountain market anymore.
Chen Liuzhi's current position was not due to just fighting and killing, as outsiders might think. If that were the case, he would have been killed or imprisoned long ago.
On the contrary, Chen Liuzhi was very shrewd. He immediately guessed the intentions of the Li Hu siblings.
Therefore, this debt collection today was his deliberate attempt to force Li Hu to make a decision.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for Li Yan's answer.
Because her answer would determine the fate of the siblings.
"Sixth Brother, I..."
"Sister! You absolutely cannot go with this guy. Even if I die today, I won't push you into a fire pit!"
Li Yan looked at Li Hu, who was covered in blood and injuries in her arms. She gritted her teeth, intending to sacrifice herself to protect her brother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Hu, whom she was holding, struggled to sit up and shouted.
Immediately, Li Hu glared at Chen Liuzhi in front of him, "Chen Liuzhi, you are a scoundrel and you want to covet my sister? You are dreaming! If you have the guts, kill me today. My sister will never fall for someone like you!"
The onlookers, including Chen Liuzhi's subordinates, were surprised that Li Hu, who had always been submissive, had shown such rare courage.
Looking at Chen Liuzhi's expression, he was trembling with rage.
"Good! Good! Very good," Chen Liuzhi said with a bitter laugh, "If I don't kill you today, then I, Chen Liuzhi, will twist my head off and let everyone use it as a ball to kick!"
"Kill this idiot, and I'll take responsibility for any consequences!"
Chen Liuzhi then gave orders to his subordinates.
As his words fell, the crowd that had moved aside once again surged forward.
"Huzi! You are being utterly foolish!"
Although Li Yan was happy that her brother cared about her, seeing Chen Liuzhi acting like a madman, she was even more worried about her brother's safety. She then shouted to the crowd, "Please, someone with a good heart, call the police, please."
However, Li Yan's plea received no response.
It wasn't until Chen Liuzhi's men had surrounded the siblings that anyone dared to respond.
After all, more than eighty percent of the people present knew Chen Liuzhi.
If they dared to call the police now, Chen Liuzhi's next target would undoubtedly be themselves.
In this day and age, if you want to help someone, you have to consider if you are capable of doing so. Otherwise, you might not help them and instead put yourself and your family in danger. Therefore, even though the onlookers felt sympathetic, none dared to respond.
"Damn it, the bad guys these days are getting more and more lawless. They're beating and killing in broad daylight. Is there still any law?"
Just as Chen Liuzhi's subordinates were about to attack Li Hu, a voice rang out from the crowd.
At this moment, someone dared to speak up?
Chen Liuzhi and his men all looked towards the source of the voice.
The surrounding crowd, fearing being targeted by Chen Liuzhi, immediately made a large clear space.
In the open space stood two young men, not much older. One of them kept shaking his head, clearly displeased with what was happening.
"I used to think things like this only happened on TV. I never expected to encounter it in real life. Well, I want to be a hero too. Du Fei, do I look like one?"
The speaker was Fang Chao, who had come to the Baihu Mountain market with Du Fei not long ago.
The two had come to the Baihu Mountain market to find some interesting small toys as a gift for their grandfather's hundredth birthday.
Given Fang Chao's grandfather's status, no gift, however valuable, would be of much significance. So Fang Chao thought he might find something special at the Baihu Mountain market.
Who knew that as they were browsing, they saw a group of people gathered and decided to check it out.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a group of thugs beating people on the street. Before Du Fei could say anything, Fang Chao's sense of chivalry surged, and he immediately spoke up.
Even as Chen Liuzhi and his group of subordinates stared at him menacingly, Fang Chao remained unfazed.
As for Du Fei, he smiled and nodded in response, "Not just like it, you are a hero with a righteous heart. It's just that these scumbags aren't worth your effort!"
What the hell!
Who were these two young men?
One actively provoked them, and the other was even more arrogant, calling them scumbags.
If they didn't make these two guys kneel and beg for mercy today, wouldn't everyone in Baihu Mountain market become unruly in the future?
Chen Liuzhi, who had originally planned to beat Li Hu until he begged for mercy and then use that opportunity to force his sister to yield to him, was already seething with anger.
