Chapter 24

Lu Xin, filled with hatred for Huang Mao's wicked attempt to touch Li Lu, guessed that this thug had probably done similar evil deeds before. He kicked out with a swift foot, stomping hard on Huang Mao's crotch. A crisp sound echoed, and Huang Mao's testicles were crushed, his gun broken. He let out a miserable howl, waking from his daze, but fainted again after less than a second.

The remaining two thugs, seeing this, quickly pulled out their daggers from their pockets and rushed towards Lu Xin.

After his skin had metalized, Lu Xin's movements did not become sluggish. Instead, he had absorbed a lot of metal energy from the metal equipment he had been on all day, making his movements exceptionally agile. He kicked out with his foot, striking the right wrist of the thug on the left who was holding a knife.

The thug felt as if his wrist had been smashed by a thick iron bar, and it instantly broke. He couldn't help but let out a miserable howl, and the dagger fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lu Xin's right hand, moving with lightning speed, grabbed the right wrist of the thug on the right who was holding a knife and twisted it forcefully.

The thug on the right felt as if his wrist had been clamped by a large iron vise, causing intense pain and breaking his hand bones. Unable to bear the pain, the dagger fell to the ground.

Once they no longer had weapons, the situation became much easier to handle.

Lu Xin quickly steadied himself, clenched his right fist, and punched the first thug in the forehead. With a loud thud, the thug was knocked to the ground.

At the same time, Lu Xin kicked the second thug in the stomach with his right foot. The fierce kick sent the thug flying more than a meter away, crashing into a tree trunk, but he did not faint and remained conscious.

Just as Lu Xin was about to deal with the thug, he was pleasantly surprised to see Li Lu pick up her stationery box and smash it hard on the thug's head, producing a dull thud.

Li Lu's strength was not enough, and the stationery box was a bit small. This sneak attack did not knock the thug down. He turned around, glaring fiercely at Li Lu: "F*ck, you b*tch, dare to sneak attack me, looking for death!"

Lu Xin quickly stepped forward, kicked the man, and knocked him to the ground.

The thug, lying on the ground, did not faint. He turned his head and saw that his two brothers were both unconscious, their eyes rolled back. Terrified, he quickly knelt on the ground, bowing to Lu Xin and begging for mercy.

"If it weren't for you bullying such a young girl, I wouldn't even want to dirty my hands with you scumbags!" Lu Xin kicked the thug to the ground and then kicked him hard in the crotch, knocking him unconscious.

This was Lu Xin's rule: anyone who dared to harm his woman had only two options—death or castration!

After knocking out the three thugs, Lu Xin turned to Li Lu with a smile: "Li Lu, I didn't expect you to be so brave despite your young age, willing to take action against bad people!"

Li Lu's face turned red, and her big, bright eyes looked at Lu Xin with immense admiration: "Thank you, big brother. If it weren't for you, I would have... Big brother, what's your name?"

Just as Lu Xin was about to answer, his phone rang.

He quickly took out his phone and saw that it was Jiang Chunyu, the vice president of the alloy materials division. He remembered that Jiang Chunyu had said he would introduce him to someone who could help him curb Li Qiming if that person liked him.

Lu Xin quickly answered the call: "President Jiang, hello, I'm on my way home!"

On the other end, Jiang Chunyu said urgently: "Why are you still hanging around outside? Quickly go home, take a shower, and change into clean clothes. Go to Building 9 of Sanjiang Villa!"

"Building 9 of Sanjiang Villa, isn't that where the leaders of our group company live?" Lu Xin asked with a smile: "President Jiang, which leader are you going to introduce me to?"

Among the leaders of the group company, Jiang Zhenhua was the chairman, followed by General Manager Wu Changhui, Party Secretary Liu Xinchang, and then Executive Vice President Li Zhonggang. Jiang Zhenhua definitely wouldn't help Lu Xin against Li Qiming. The ones who could curb Li Zhonggang and Li Qiming were likely General Manager Wu Changhui and Party Secretary Liu Xinchang. He wondered which one Jiang Chunyu would introduce him to?

Jiang Chunyu smiled slightly: "You'll know when you meet. Get ready quickly. We agreed to meet at 6:30. If she likes you, we might as well have dinner at her place!" He then hung up the phone.

Lu Xin put his phone back in his pocket. Li Lu stood in front of him, her pretty big eyes twinkling, and giggled: "Big brother, what a coincidence!"

"Huh, what a coincidence?" Lu Xin asked, puzzled: "What do you mean by 'what a coincidence'?"

"The Building 9 of Sanjiang Villa where you're going is my home. Hmm, let me think, are you the Chinese tutor Aunt Jiang is going to introduce to me?" Li Lu giggled: "It's really a coincidence! Teacher, you're so handsome, even more handsome than Du Jiaoshou!"

"Huh, what, to be your Chinese tutor?" Lu Xin asked, puzzled: "President Jiang didn't tell me about this!"

"Didn't you and Xueqing sister used to be college classmates? She was the president of the literature club, and you were the vice president?" Li Lu giggled: "Your writing must be really good, wow, so you're both literary and martial! That's amazing! I have a teacher who is both literary and martial!"

Lu Xin began to understand. Jiang Chunyu wanted to introduce him as Li Lu's Chinese tutor to indirectly win the favor of Li Lu's mother, Shen Yafang. Since Shen Yafang's brother was the vice mayor of Jiangzhou City, Li Zhonggang and Li Qiming wouldn't dare to really confront her. However, the key issue was that Shen Yafang was Li Zhonggang's wife. Why would she help him curb Li Qiming?

Unable to fully understand Jiang Chunyu's strategy, Lu Xin decided not to think about it. He searched the thugs and found Li Lu's more than a thousand yuan, putting it back in her wallet. He helped Li Lu organize her schoolbag and then put on a serious face: "Li Lu, if I hadn't happened to pass by just now, you would have... Why didn't you take the main road instead of this small road?"

"This road is the closest to my home. I thought I could run home quickly and be safe!" Li Lu reached out and hugged Lu Xin's arm, her face tightly pressed against his arm: "Teacher, thank you, you're really my protector!"

This girl is quite familiar, Lu Xin frowned: "Don't you think the title 'teacher' and 'protector' are a bit conflicting? Never mind, let's not worry about that. In any case, be careful in the future. Don't walk alone on such paths. Walk on busy roads with police patrols when you're alone!"

"I understand!" Li Lu hugged Lu Xin's arm and pouted: "I won't call you teacher anymore, it makes you sound old. I'll call you big brother in the future. Big brother, what's your name?"
