The moment Li Bao finished speaking, his subordinates rushed toward Jiang Lang all at once.
Today, they were going to teach this ignorant bitch a lesson.
Excitement gradually filled Li Bao’s eyes.
Jiang Lang had never intended to hold back in the first place. After hearing such disgusting words, killing intent surged through her even more fiercely.
People like him were no different from the beasts she had seen in the apocalypse—those who lost all humanity under extreme conditions. The apocalypse would become paradise for people like them to exploit others.
Then she simply wouldn’t let him live long enough to see the apocalypse.
Jiang Lang’s fighting skills had been forged through hardship and constant struggle.
In the apocalypse, searching for supplies inevitably meant fighting. At first, she couldn’t win. Many times, the supplies she had desperately obtained were stolen away.
Later, in order to survive and protect what belonged to her, her combat skills had been forced upward through sheer desperation.
Because of that, her moves were ruthless and lethal, never giving the opponent a second chance to get back up.
Very quickly, several grown men were beaten by Jiang Lang until they couldn’t stand.
The last man took a punch directly to the stomach and immediately felt intense pain.
He screamed miserably, clutching his abdomen as cold sweat poured down.
Zhang Li shrank into the corner, staring in complete shock.
Jiang Lang was actually this strong.
What kind of world was this?
“Trash! A bunch of useless idiots! You can’t even beat one woman?!”
Li Bao’s expression changed drastically as he shot to his feet.
Jiang Lang shook out her hand, which had gone numb from the force of her punches, and slowly walked toward Li Bao step by step.
“So, how’s my strength?”
The anger and humiliation in Li Bao’s heart were gradually suppressed by shock and fear.
This woman was actually this powerful. Every one of his men was considered capable, yet beside her they looked like complete garbage.
For the first time, Li Bao began to feel a trace of regret.
Bitch! Just wait until he got another chance!
As long as he survived today, he had countless ways to make this woman regret everything.
“They’re trash, but you aren’t. You’re the strongest one here, right?”
Jiang Lang looked him up and down, eager to try.
Bitterness filled Li Bao’s mouth. Who the hell said the boss had to be the strongest fighter? Which bastard spread that rumor?
Back in his early years, he really had fought his way up personally. But now that he had subordinates, all he needed to do was give orders. Why would he fight himself?
With his current obese figure, his beer belly looked like a seven-month pregnant woman carrying twins.
Forget several slaps—even one kick could cripple him half to death.
Just as Jiang Lang’s kick was about to land—
Bang!
The door suddenly opened.
At that instant, the despairing Li Bao felt as though he had seen salvation itself.
His men must have come to save him.
Jiang Lang turned her head and immediately shrank her pupils.
What rotten luck.
The man had refined features, sharp contours, and deep eyes carrying a trace of urgency. Only after seeing her did he seem to relax slightly.
Both sides appeared to be waiting for something, remaining calm and silent without speaking first.
Jiang Lang pressed her lips together.
First he witnessed her stabbing someone. Now he had caught her beating people up again.
Was he born specifically to oppose her or something?
“Help! Help! This woman wants to kill me!”
Li Bao’s face turned pale as he instantly adopted the appearance of a victim. Seizing the chance, he hurried farther away from Jiang Lang and closer to the door.
Jiang Lang twitched at the corner of her mouth.
At least act with some dignity—you’re supposed to be an underworld boss.
She stared at the man.
Unable to determine his intentions, she felt uneasy.
“Ahem.”
Ying Jiashi stepped out from behind him and glanced at Jiang Lang before acting as a mediator.
“This… is all just a misunderstanding. You guys continue, continue, alright?”
As he spoke, he glanced at the “Second Brother” beside him, who stood there like a statue, making Ying Jiashi feel frustrated beyond belief. Why was he just standing there?!
Hearing those words, Li Bao instantly felt all hope collapse into despair.
In contrast, Jiang Lang secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Looks like these two weren’t here to meddle.
Good.
“Master Ying?”
Li Bao listened to the somewhat familiar voice and took another careful look.
“You’re Master Ying, right? I’m Li Bao, Li Bao!”
Everyone present—including Jiang Lang and “Second Brother”—turned to look at Ying Jiashi simultaneously.
Ying Jiashi rubbed his forehead awkwardly.
“I don’t think I know you?”
Li Bao bent over immediately, his entire attitude changing.
“We’ve met before! At the Ten Colors Bar! You even said you’d introduce me to Master Yan!”
“Second Brother” glanced at Ying Jiashi upon hearing that.
The corners of Ying Jiashi’s lips curved slightly.
“Li Bao, huh? There are plenty of people trying to curry favor with Master Yan. You’re not worth much. But since you’re so eager to meet him… well, here you go.”
He gestured toward the man standing in front of him.
Li Bao looked up and followed Ying Jiashi’s line of sight.
In terms of presence alone, the man was top-tier. Even without speaking, he naturally became the center of attention.
Li Bao had already been wondering who he was.
“Master Yan, hello. My name is Li Bao… You don’t know this, but this woman is vicious. She nearly stabbed my daughter to death, and now she’s beaten everyone in this room.”
The moment Li Bao learned his identity, his expression instantly switched to a flattering, sycophantic smile that was painful to look at.
Li Bao’s level only made him feared within one district of A City. There were far too many people capable of suppressing him. Families like the Rong family were colossal existences in comparison.
If Li Bao managed to connect himself to them, he could absolutely climb another level higher, so he was desperate to do so.
The man swept a cold gaze over him.
“Did I ever say I came here to uphold justice?”
Ying Jiashi stared at the ceiling as though he knew absolutely nothing and saw absolutely nothing.
Li Bao instantly froze, as though someone had grabbed his throat. Not a single word came out.
“Besides,” the man continued coldly, “justice isn’t on your side.”
Li Bao looked at Jiang Lang, his face gradually turning pale.
At this point, even an idiot understood—Master Yan had come for that woman.
The man stepped closer to Li Bao.
“What exactly were you planning to do to her just now?”
“No, no! I only invited this young lady here for a chat!”
Li Bao hurriedly shook his head in panic.
“Big Sister!”
A soft childish voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Jiang Lang looked toward the source of the voice.
Two chubby little hands were wrapped around Ying Jiashi’s leg like tree roots. A tiny head peeked out from behind him, looking innocent and adorable.
Jiang Lang’s expression instantly brightened with delight.
“Guoguo, why are you here?”
Only after seeing Jiang Lang smile did Guoguo dare run toward her and hug her leg.
“Big Sister, I missed you so much.”
That obedient little voice was unbelievably cute.
In her previous life, Jiang Lang had not seen such a fragile and adorable little creature in a very, very long time.
