Lu Yuli was already beautiful, and now with her pitiful appearance, Zheng Qian found it hard to speak. Although according to Niu Tou's account, she had stolen his phone, he had no evidence at all.
"Are... are you okay?" Zheng Qian felt a bit awkward and reached out his hand.
Lu Yuli looked at the scar on her leg and shook her head, "I'm fine, I was just too hasty just now, it's not your fault!" As she said this, she pulled Zheng Qian's hand and stood up.
Her small hand was soft and cool, smooth to the touch. Zheng Qian was taken aback. Since breaking up with his girlfriend, he hadn't even held a girl's hand, let alone the school beauty from the Medical University.
If he told Chen Zihao about this, that guy would probably start licking his hand.
As the school beauty of Han City Medical University, Lu Yuli usually attracted countless admiring eyes whenever she went out. Now, she had been knocked down by a stranger at the school gate, which was a big deal, comparable to the top news in Han City.
Soon, a few young men surrounded Zheng Qian, pointing and whispering.
"Who is this guy? Damn, he even knocked down my goddess and held her hand, I have to go up and replace him!"
"Right, damn, look at the stockings on her leg, they're torn, and blood is flowing. If it leaves a scar, this beautiful leg will have a flaw..."
"Quick, quick, Dongfang Hong is here..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion. A sharp car horn sounded, and a white Bentley stopped steadily at the school gate. A young man wearing a floral shirt and a mohawk pushed through the crowd and rushed over, shoving Zheng Qian away.
"Get lost!"
The angry voice came from the young man, and the next moment, a foot kicked toward Zheng Qian's abdomen.
Fortunately, Zheng Qian reacted quickly and dodged.
"Kid, are you crazy? Don't you know Yuli is my woman?" The young man's face was dark, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he shouted.
"Dongfang Hong, please watch your words, I have nothing to do with you!" A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Yuli's face as she responded.
After saying that, she walked toward Zheng Qian and said, "You go back first, this has nothing to do with you!"
"Kid, if you dare to leave, I'll cripple you today!" Dongfang Hong, having lost face in front of Lu Yuli, had nowhere to vent his anger and turned it toward Zheng Qian, his face turning grim.
Zheng Qian was not afraid and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Dongfang Hong shouted, and two men in black quickly rushed toward Zheng Qian from the car behind.
"Dongfang Hong, what are you doing?"
Lu Yuli's face turned cold, and she took a big step in front of Zheng Qian, blocking the two men in black, "Try to touch him and see what happens!"
At this moment, Zheng Qian was stunned. Was this the school beauty who had stolen his phone? They had no relationship, yet she was protecting him so much?
Actually, it wasn't that Lu Yuli was protecting Zheng Qian; she just knew Dongfang Hong too well. This person was petty and ruthless. If she didn't intervene today, this student would likely end up in the hospital for a month or two.
This incident was not his fault, and the kind-hearted Lu Yuli wouldn't let Zheng Qian suffer innocently.
The onlookers were shocked, their jaws dropping. "What the hell, who is this guy? Our goddess Yuli is actually protecting him?"
"Rumor had it that Yuli already had a boyfriend. Could it be this guy?"
"Eight out of ten, Dongfang Hong's family is rich, and he's just here to pass the time. How many women he sets his eyes on can escape? It's said that the last two school beauties of our Medical University ended up in bed with him. Now it looks like he's going for a third term!"
Amid the envious and hateful gazes of the onlookers, Zheng Qian slowly recovered from his shock. Even a clay figure has a bit of temper, and a rabbit, when cornered, will bite.
"Kid, are you a man? Hiding behind a woman, what kind of skill is that?" Dongfang Hong, not wanting to confront Lu Yuli, directly turned his gaze to Zheng Qian, trying to provoke him.
Lu Yuli was anxious. She knew Dongfang Hong's methods well and, without a word, pushed Zheng Qian to leave quickly.
However, Zheng Qian stood still, looking at Dongfang Hong, his face calm, "Since we both like Yuli, why don't we compete fairly? The loser leaves!"
Although Zheng Qian and Lu Yuli were meeting for the first time, or perhaps the second, as the phone theft had not been confirmed.
Every normal man has a heart for beautiful women, and with Dongfang Hong's threats, Zheng Qian couldn't bear it anymore.
Lu Yuli was stunned. What was he thinking? Was he going to fight Dongfang Hong for her? Was he crazy?
The onlookers, eager for a show, cheered loudly.
"Rushing to anger for a beauty, this temper and character match the school beauty. The kid has personality!"
"Right, fighting Dongfang Hong, even if he dies, he'll be famous in Han City!"
"You guys are all bad, just inciting him. Kid, don't act rashly. Dongfang Hong's family is powerful, not someone you can provoke!"
Some people, feeling sorry for Zheng Qian, seeing his cheap clothes, couldn't help but advise him.
But Zheng Qian seemed not to hear. He took a step forward, blocking Lu Yuli behind him.
At that moment, Lu Yuli's whole body trembled. Looking at the strong back in front of her, her heart was touched.
"Good, good, good!" Seeing Zheng Qian provoke him so, Dongfang Hong laughed in anger, pointing at Zheng Qian, his face dark, "How do you want to compete? One-on-one or with others?"
If it came to a real fight, he had a master's training and a black belt fifth dan, which was no joke. Dealing with a young student would be more than enough.
"Let's all go together," Zheng Qian said calmly, his eyes sweeping over the three of them.
Dongfang Hong's face turned red with anger, "Kid, you're too arrogant!"
"I'll show you how arrogant I am!" Zheng Qian continued, "But I have something urgent to do before we fight, so I need to clear it up first, to avoid any delays!"
"Dongfang Young Master, this kid is too arrogant, don't bother, let us two take care of him!" One of the men in black said coldly.
The man with a short, green-tinted haircut and a fierce gaze clearly wasn't a good person.
"Fine, I'll wait for you to arrange it!" Dongfang Hong's lips curled into a cold smile. He had decided that if he didn't beat this kid to a pulp, he wouldn't be able to stay in Han City.
Zheng Qian felt relieved and quickly took out his phone to ask Niu Tou for help.
"Niu Tou, do you have any powerful martial arts techniques that can be learned instantly? Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!"
"Xiang Yu's divine strength, interested?"
Seeing Niu Tou's message, Zheng Qian felt relieved. With Xiang Yu's divine strength, this situation would be much easier to handle. Three people would be no problem.
"Yes!" He replied straightforwardly.
"Five thousand yin virtue points!" Niu Tou replied quickly.
Seeing this message, Zheng Qian was stunned. He only had eight hundred yin virtue points, and giving a gift to Qin Guang Wang cost a thousand. Xiang Yu's divine strength required five thousand?
"Is there a cheaper option?" Zheng Qian asked pitifully. If he didn't get the martial arts technique, the two men in black would kill him.
Niu Tou replied, "No!"
"But Xiang Yu said it can be paid in installments!" Niu Tou continued, seemingly knowing Zheng Qian's lack of yin virtue points.
"How?" Zheng Qian was delighted. If it could be paid in installments, that would be perfect.
Niu Tou's reply was a bit slow, "Prepay one thousand, learn the first three moves, repayment cycle is ten days, each repayment must be at least one thousand, with ten yin virtue points interest per day!"
"Damn, are you robbing me? This is too much, even loan sharks aren't this bad!"
But Zheng Qian didn't say this, to avoid wasting the remaining yin virtue points.
"I don't have that much." Zheng Qian asked again.
Niu Tou was silent for a moment, then said, "You have seven hundred, I'll add three hundred as a reward for helping me deliver a gift. The rest you'll have to repay yourself!"
Zheng Qian felt relieved. Whether it was a loan shark or not, he had to get through this first.
He clicked confirm, and his yin virtue points instantly dropped to ten. At that moment, an invisible yellow light shone from his phone, enveloping Zheng Qian. As the yellow light faded, his phone automatically shut off.
"Kid, are you done?" The man in black was already impatient, shouting.
Dongfang Hong leaned against the car, a cold smile on his face, not in a hurry.
He occasionally glanced at Lu Yuli, cursing in his heart, "Bitch, I'll make you beg for mercy sooner or later."
"That kid is arranging his last affairs, no rush, let's wait a bit." The other man in black laughed.
After saying that, the two men burst into laughter.
"Come on!"
Zheng Qian put away his phone, his face calm as he looked at the two men. He felt a surge of strength, confident that he could knock down three bulls with one punch.
"Looks like Xiang Yu's strength to lift a tripod wasn't entirely fictional!" Zheng Qian smiled, thinking to himself, and walked toward the two men, "Let's go, both of you!"
"Looking for death!"
The man who spoke first cracked his knuckles and leaped up, spreading his arms like a large eagle, quickly pouncing on Zheng Qian.
"Hmph!"
With Xiang Yu's divine strength, Zheng Qian felt no fear. He understood the principle that strength can overcome skill.
He punched without hesitation, aiming at the man.
Seeing Zheng Qian not dodge, the man was pleased. His move had broken many enemies' necks. A student who hadn't even graduated would be no match, just a "snap" away.
"Snap!"
The man thought this, and indeed, a "snap" was heard, but it wasn't from Zheng Qian's neck, but from his own arm.
Immediately, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, and bone fragments pierced out, blood splattering everywhere.
"Ah..."
He screamed in pain, rolling on the ground, his face pale. His arm was completely ruined, and even the best surgeons couldn't fix it.
This wasn't Zheng Qian's fault; he had just learned Xiang Yu's divine strength and didn't know how to control it. The man was just unlucky.
Seeing his most capable subordinate defeated in one punch, Dongfang Hong's pupils dilated, his face full of shock.
He had only two requirements for his bodyguards: they must be former elite soldiers and have taken lives.
But such a tough guy couldn't even last one move against a student?
The
