"Are you saying you bullied my sister?"

Yang Yang's eyes were filled with murderous rage, ignoring the last sentence of Zhang Lili.

"So what if I did?" Ma Yangshen sneered, "Not only will I hit your sister, I'm going to deal with you too!"

As he spoke, Ma Yangsen grabbed Yang Yang's collar, ready to strike.

He dared to reveal the truth, he must kill the opponent!

But before his fist could land, it was caught by Yang Yang.

With a counter-twist of his hand, he caused Ma Yangshen great pain.

"Ah! You little thug, let go of me! Or I'll have someone kill your whole family!"

Ma Yangshen felt like his hand was going to be twisted off by Yang Yang, breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Ma Yangshen, I was able to take care of you two years ago, and two years later, I can still take care of you."

Yang Yang said coldly.

Then he let go of his hand, at the same time kicking out and hitting Ma Yangshen right in the buttocks.

Ma Yangshen flew out, crashing heavily onto the ground, chin scraped and bleeding profusely.

"Ah! Yang Yang, you've gone mad, daring to hit Young Master Zhou!"

After Zhang Lili's scream, Yang Yang swiftly walked into the room and closed the door.

"Call me again and I'll finish you off!"

He grabbed Zhang Lili's face and coldly said, "Zhang Lili, do you really think I wouldn't dare to hit you?"

"What, what are you doing?"

Zhang Lili was trembling in fear. How did Yang Yang, this useless person, seem to change into a different persona?

She even saw a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Yang Yang, let me tell you, don’t think that behaving this way will terrify us. Do you know who Zhou is? If this matter gets blown up, there will be no place for you in Shu City!"

Ma Yangshen also stood up at this time, wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and menacingly said, “Did you hear that? Dare to offend me, Yang Yang, you're done! And your sister..."

"Are you threatening me?"

Yang Yang smirked and stepped forward, giving Ma Yangshen an intense kicking.

Ma Yangshen had no power to fight back and screamed in pain.

"Do you dare to threaten me now?"

Yang Yang stared at the bruised and swollen Ma Yangshen and asked coldly.

"You damn Yang Yang...!"

"Slap!"

Yang Yang slapped Ma Yangshen's face hard and said coldly: "Do you understand your mistake now?"

"I'll beat you to death, you damned brat!"

"Slap!"

Yang Yang harshly slapped Ma Yangshen twice more, causing blood to flow freely from Ma Yangshen's nose.

"Dare to call me old man now?"

"No... no more..."

Ma Yangshen, seeing stars from the beating, figured that a wise man knows better than to take an immediate loss. He decided to bear it for now and wait for an opportunity to retaliate later.

"How do you plan to deal with what happened to my sister?"

"I... I can compensate!"

Ma Yangshen dug out a bank card and handed it over to Yang Yang with both hands.

"There's three hundred thousand in there. Consider it my apology for my previous rash actions and please, stop hitting me."

Yang Yang laughed, having a clear understanding of the other's intentions.

He scoffed, "Don't think I don't know your little schemes. If you have any issues, come find me anytime. But if I find out you've hurt my sister again, I'll wipe out your entire family!"

With that said, Yang Yang turned and left with an air of nonchalance.

"Zhou Shao, are you okay?"

After Yang Yang left, Zhang Lili quickly went over to help Ma Yangshen.

Ma Yangshen spat out a mouthful of blood, speaking coldly, "Yang Yang, you wait for me, I will absolutely take my revenge!"

...

Upon descending the stairs, the sight of the familiar street still stirred up a touch of sorrow in Yang Yang's heart.

Throughout his return trip, he had been drowning in delightful memories of reuniting with Zhang Lili, but now, all of it had faded into nothingness.

"Forget it, to each his own, why force it?"

Yang Yang hailed a cab at the corner of the street. Half an hour later, he stood outside the West Lake villas.

This was where the Li family resided. He and his younger sister Yang Ting had never met their biological parents. At the age of five, they were adopted by the Li family.

Their foster father, Li Dongshan, was pretty good to them. However, their foster mother, Wu Dongmei, was quite the snob who often criticized indirectly.

Living under someone else's roof was indeed hard.

"You are... Yang Yang?"

Just as Yang Yang walked up to the gate, he encountered Li Yulian.

She was Li Dongshan's eldest daughter. Two years older than Yang Yang, she was a graduate from Jingbei University with a curvaceous figure, currently holding the post of Vice President at the Li Group.

"Yulian sister, long time no see."

Yang Yang greeted her with a smile.

Li Yulian furrowed her brows, "You finally decided to come back. Two years later, where the hell have you been?"

Just as she was about to continue hurling accusations, her phone rang. After exchanging a few hurried words, she hung up.

"I just got a call from the hospital. Xueyan has attempted suicide by swallowing pills!"

"What? Suicide?"

Yang Yang was shocked beyond words.

Li Xueyan was Li Dongshan's youngest daughter. This girl was usually cheerful. How could she suddenly want to die?

"I'll come with you!"

The Li family had been good to him. He absolutely could not turn a blind eye to this.

...

On the second floor of the hospital, by the time Yang Yang and Li Yulian hurried over, Li Xueyan's body was already covered with a white cloth.

"Lil' sis!"

Seeing this, Li Yulian could no longer stand. Zhang Linhai stepped forward to support her, whispering, "I'm sorry, Yulian, I never thought Xueyan would go to such extremes. We tried our best."

Zhang Linhai was the head of the department here and also one of Li Yulian's suitors.

"It can't be, I don't believe it!"

Li Yulian stepped forward and gently lifted the white cloth. Lying underneath was a pale-faced girl. It was Li Xueyan!

"Xueyan! Xueyan, why did you have to do this..."

Li Yulian held Li Xueyan's body in her arms and burst into tearful sobs, "You silly girl, how heartbroken your mom and dad are at your passing!"

"No, she's not dead!"

Just as everyone was lost in grief, a voice suddenly rang out.

The voice belonged to Yang Yang.

He noticed that Li Xueyan was just in a state of suspended animation and still had a glimmer of life.

At first, no one took his words seriously.

They thought that Yang Yang was so shocked by Li Xueyan's death that he was just talking nonsense.

Seeing their disbelief, Yang Yang went forward and lifted Li Xueyan's clothing, revealing the scene beneath.

"What are you doing!?"

Upon witnessing this, Zhang Linhai was perturbed and grabbed hold of Yang Yang.

"You are crossing the line, lad! Xueyan is dead, and yet you disgrace her like this!"

Yang Yang shook off Zhang Linhai, his face serious: "I'm trying to save her. Please stay out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"What? Save her? Stop babbling nonsense here! She's dead, how could you possibly save her? Do you think you're a god?"

Zhang Linhai scoffed, "I tell you, this is a great insult to my patient!"

At this moment, Li Yulian wiped away her tears and said in disappointment: "Yang Yang, this is too much! After Xueyan’s passing, isn't this just tarnishing her last bit of innocence?"
