Wow!
Just as she closed her eyes, feeling certain she was about to die, she suddenly heard the sound of strong winds whistling around her, followed by screams.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw that standing before her was Li Yang, the very person who had been about to bully her.
He had actually come out and saved her life!
The burly men lying on the ground were all clutching their chests, struggling as if they were severely injured.
Li Yang had defeated them with a single move!
"A bunch of ants, she owed you money, you should have just taken the money. Why did you want to take her life? If she has committed a crime, let the law deal with her, not you."
Li Yang said coldly, staring at the group of people before him.
"Kid, you dare to meddle in our business. Do you know who we work for?"
The leader of the burly men pointed his large saber at Li Yang, threatening him with a cold tone, "Our boss is the underground emperor of the provincial capital. If you dare to provoke us, you're going against him."
"You'd better think carefully if your actions are worth it. If you don't want to be retaliated against, then get out of the way quickly and let us kill this dead girl. Otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, our boss will find you and kill you."
"Underground emperor? From the sound of it, he's not a good person. I think instead of underground emperor, he should be called an underground ghost. I'll deal with you first, and if he wants revenge, I'll deal with him then."
As Li Yang finished speaking, he instantly teleported in front of the leader, and with a fierce punch, struck him in the chest. The leader's eyes bulged, and he was sent flying backward!
Boom!
The moment he hit the ground, he spat out blood, his entire being contorted in pain!
"Get lost!"
Li Yang roared in anger, scaring them all into trembling. They scrambled to their feet and fled in disarray.
After they left, the girl, extremely excited, came before Li Yang and, with a thud, knelt down. She smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother, for saving me. From today onwards, you are my savior."
"Aren't you afraid I'll bully you?" Li Yang turned back and saw her sincere gratitude, asking casually.
She shook her head repeatedly, looked up at Li Yang seriously, and said, "I'm not afraid. Big brother is a good person. For this life-saving grace, even if big brother really bullies me this time, I won't dodge. I'm willing to be your woman."
"Heh, you're quite spirited, and you even know the meaning of 'life-saving grace'."
Li Yang helped her up and looked at her carefully. "You little imp, what were you thinking just now? I asked you to break your own arms, and you actually attacked me. Do you think I would easily let you go?"
"Big brother, you were the one who handed me the weapon. To protect myself, of course, I would attack you. If I am merciful to my enemies, I am cruel to myself."
The girl replied to Li Yang with complete honesty, "However, I didn't intend to kill big brother, only to injure you, so I could escape."
"If big brother didn't have such strong skills, I might have been caught by them by now and died at their hands. So, it's all fate. Big brother, you are my benefactor, and I am willing to follow you."
"Is that so? You're quite smart, predicting your own consequences. But why doesn't someone as smart as you use your brain for good, find a legitimate way to earn money, and instead choose to risk stealing?" Li Yang asked, puzzled.
"This..."
The girl pouted and slowly lowered her head, as if she had something unspeakable.
A moment later, she shrugged and said, "Actually, I don't want to steal, but my brother needs a lot of money for treatment. I can only save enough for his surgery by stealing. He's still in the hospital now."
"Your brother is sick? Are you sure you're not trying to trick me?"
Li Yang had heard too many such excuses, and most of them were false. She couldn't possibly have a brother.
But the girl said with great certainty, "I'm really not lying. I can take you to the hospital to see my brother. He has leukemia. Although the chance of survival is very small, as long as there is any hope, I will help him get treatment."
"Then what about your family? You're only fifteen, and you're already earning money to support your brother by yourself?" Li Yang continued to ask.
"My parents died long ago. My brother and I depend on each other. I raised him. Now that he's seriously ill, of course, I have to take good care of him," the girl said seriously.
"So that's how it is. I'll believe you for now, but from today onwards, you cannot steal anymore, nor are you allowed to do anything bad. If I find out, I will personally break your hands and feet."
Li Yang said sternly, then took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her. "This card has two million. It should be enough for your brother's medical expenses for now. I'll add your contact information. When you get to the hospital, take a picture of your brother's condition and send it to me."
"If I find out you're lying to me, I will not only take back this money, but I will also find you and make you responsible."
"Don't worry, big brother. I swear to heaven that I'm not lying. It's just that if I take this much money, I won't be able to repay it anytime soon. Big brother, you won't mind, right?" the girl asked, looking at Li Yang with concern.
If this money was from a loan shark, she would rather not have it.
Li Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not expecting you to repay this money. As long as what you said is true, consider it a donation from me. I also hope you can start on the right path from now on."
"Don't worry, big brother, I definitely will. You are truly a good person!"
The girl's eyes welled up with tears of excitement, and she threw herself into Li Yang's arms, hugging him tightly.
Li Yang didn't expect her to be so emotional. It seemed she wasn't lying. He gently patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, go and get your brother treated first. Contact me when you're done. Perhaps I can help your brother recover completely."
"Really?"
The girl blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Li Yang in disbelief. "Big brother, if you can save my brother, I will thank you for the rest of my life. I'm willing to be your servant."
"That won't be necessary. Hurry and go. If those people come back soon, you'll be in trouble," Li Yang waved her away.
"Then big brother, you should also be careful. Those people are not to be trifled with, especially their boss. He has strong connections in the provincial capital and is ruthless. You must not fight them head-on. If you see them again, run away quickly."
Before leaving, the girl did not forget to remind Li Yang seriously.
Li Yang now felt that if this little girl turned over a new leaf, she would be a very interesting soul. Moreover, her wit was unmatched by others.
After watching the girl walk away, he calmly returned outside to find Long Lingling.
