I was transported to the 1970s, and I became the most stylish kid in the whole compound.

Chapter 146 It turns out it was all an act.

Luo Yan stood still and took a solid slap from Liu Bo, falling to the ground with half her face swelling up quickly.

After a moment of dizziness subsided, Luo Yan burst into tears.

"Hey, how could you hit a child like that!"

Aunt Huang put down her knitting needles and ran outside.

Liang Zhizhong and Luo Shicheng, who were talking in the living room, rushed out upon hearing the crying.

Luo Shicheng bent down and picked up Luo Yan, who was lying on the ground crying loudly. When he saw the red handprint on Luo Yan's face, he raised his foot to kick Liu Bo, but Liang Zhizhong grabbed him.

Despite his advanced age, Liang Zhizhong was incredibly agile. If Liang Zhizhong hadn't been quick enough to grab Luo Shicheng in time, Liu Bo would have lost his life here today.

Luo Shicheng's footwork was fierce, and Liu Bo was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat but dared not run away, repeatedly apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I just heard that this girl is really good at fighting, so I wanted to spar with her, but I didn't expect it to be like that at all."

Luo Yan sneered inwardly. She hit Du Jiqing at the door because Luo Shicheng, as a man and as the younger brother-in-law, couldn't touch Du Jiqing. She didn't let Du Jiqing hit her not because she was afraid of the pain, but because being hit at the door was ineffective.

But being beaten at 'Big Golden Leg's' house is a different story; Liu Bo hitting her is like slapping 'Big Golden Leg' in the face.

Liu Bo also knew Luo Ziwei, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Liu Bo came to avenge Luo Ziwei.

When the Luo family really starts to hold a grudge, the father will not only not be the perpetrator, but will also become the victim because his daughter was beaten by Luo Ziwei's people at the "Golden Leg" house.

It's all thanks to Liu Bo, that brainless idiot, who really helped a lot.

Liang Zhizhong turned around and said to Aunt Huang, who was running towards him.

"Go call Liu Xuanzhi and tell him to come over here."

When Liu Bo heard Liang Zhizhong call his "old man," he was stunned.

"Minister Liang, there's no need to call my grandfather, is there? I'll pay whatever compensation is due. Or, I'll have Brother Luo slap me twice as a return favor..."

Liang Zhizhong laughed angrily, "You want Luo Shicheng to slap you twice?"

Liu Bo nodded, his clear little eyes wide open.

"He could send you to your death with a single slap, do you want to go?"

"Nonsense, it's not that amazing. Even Brother Luo has practiced martial arts for so many years and he can't do it. He hasn't even learned it."

Luo Shicheng had no interest in arguing with this kind of person. He took the ice towel that Aunt Huang handed him and put it on Luo Yan's face.

Liu Xuanzhi arrived very quickly, and Liang Zhizhong greeted him immediately upon seeing him.

"Do you know how to teach your grandson? If not, I'll teach him for you."

Liu Xuanzhi didn't know what was going on, and turned to look at his grandson who was standing in the middle of the living room as punishment.

Liu Bo told the truth, "My master and mistress were hit by this little girl, so I wanted to come and test her skills. Who knew she couldn't even withstand one slap?"

When Liu Xuanzhi saw Luo Yan's swollen face, he was so angry that he picked up his cane and started hitting her.

"You bastard, how dare you come to Minister Liang's doorstep and cause trouble? You must have a death wish."

Liu Bo stood there taking the beating, and said defiantly.

"I didn't mean any disrespect to the old man, I just really wanted to spar with him."

How could their family produce such a brainless person? Liu Xuanzhi felt dizzy.

Seeing this, Liu Bo quickly helped Liu Xuanzhi sit on the sofa.

Liu Xuanzhi was exasperated. "Since you say that the little girl beat up the second son of the Luo family and his wife, then tell me how she did it?" "I didn't see it myself. I heard it from others. They said that this little girl is really fierce. She overpowered Du Jiqing and beat him until he was black and blue. She even kicked the two of them and knocked Luo Ziwei unconscious."

Still not satisfied, Liu Xuanzhi slapped Liu Bo twice more.

"Everyone in the compound knows that Luo Ziwei's wife is someone you can't touch. She's always having allergies. You never know, if you touch her, she'll swell up like a fathead fish. If the little girl happens to slap her a few times, she might have an allergic reaction."

Besides, that second son of the Luo family has martial arts skills. Do you really think a little girl could kick him down or knock him unconscious? He only pretended to be angry because he knew his wife was in the wrong for not letting their son into the house and even hitting the child.

After listening to his grandfather's analysis, Liu Bo felt like slapping himself twice.

"It has to be Grandpa. He's eaten more salt than I've eaten rice. No wonder Luo Ziwei woke up before the car even reached the hospital. He was faking it. I really didn't notice until you told me."

Luo Yan, even if she were to cover up the matter of hitting Luo Ziwei and his wife herself, she couldn't do it this well. The old man is amazing.

It wasn't that Liu Xuanzhi was overthinking things; anyone in the compound who witnessed or heard about it, and who was even slightly shrewd, would think the same thing.

Luo Ziwei and his wife, who had just returned home, soon heard rumors about the situation.

Du Jiqing was indeed beaten, but Luo Ziwei being kicked down by Luo Yan was not...

Luo Ziwei tripped over Du Jiqing because he was holding her from behind. In addition, it was Luo Yan who was fighting with his wife, and Luo Shicheng never laid a hand on her. If an adult fights with a child, it means his wife is in the wrong. So he deliberately fell down so that his wife wouldn't be completely in the wrong when they argued later.

But he was genuinely knocked unconscious by Luo Yan; he wasn't faking it.

Luo Ziwei was furious after hearing the rumors. He looked in the mirror and saw no bruises on his temples. He thought that no one would believe him if he said he was innocent.

Liang Zhizhong listened to Liu Xuanzhi's logical explanation and nodded in agreement.

"Even if the little girl has some strength and knows some martial arts, how powerful can she be? How can she hold down an adult and beat him up? The second son and his wife of the Luo family are really... sigh, what a bunch of idiots."

Liu Bo searched through all his pockets and finally managed to scrape together fifty yuan, which he then stuffed into Luo Yan's hand.

"It's my fault, I was confused. Here's the money, you can buy some candy."

Luo Yan's face looked badly swollen, but she avoided pointing out the problem. Her eardrums were fine, and her teeth were all good, but she had to put on a convincing act.

"Waaaaah, Daddy, I'm scared."

Luo Yan dropped the money in her hand and, frightened, burrowed into Luo Shicheng's arms.

Luo Shicheng held Luo Yan in his arms, knowing full well that his daughter was acting, but the beating was real. He didn't need Luo Yan to suffer like that. He was both angry and heartbroken, holding Luo Yan and comforting her, ignoring Liu Bo's embarrassed expression.

"Your meager money can only buy a few pieces of candy, and you still have the nerve to take it out."

As he spoke, Liu Xuanzhi took out two thousand from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table.

“It’s my grandson’s fault. Take the child to the hospital immediately. If it’s not enough, just let me know.”

In front of Liang Zhizhong, things had to be handled well; otherwise, if his grandson went to the home of a retired cadre and beat him up, it would be seen as a sign of being neglected after retirement, and that he was bullying the old leader who had stepped down. In that case, the whole compound would be talking behind their backs.

Liu Bo felt a pang of heartache at the sight, and was glared at fiercely by Liu Xuanzhi.

"Third brother, how about I drive you and your niece to the hospital right now, so we can make sure you're not hurt anywhere and it doesn't get any worse?"

He followed the whole process and kept track of every expense. Even with the apology, it should only cost a few hundred at most. As for the remaining thousand or so, he figured he could keep it for himself.

Without hesitation, Luo Shicheng picked up Luo Yan and said, "Lead the way."

Liu Bo felt uneasy after hearing the quick agreement.

Liang Zhizhong also stood up, "I'll go too, so we can look out for each other if anything happens."

As he spoke, Liang Zhizhong picked up the money on the coffee table and stuffed it into Luo Yan's small handbag.

"Keep it with you; you'll have to pay for your own medical expenses when needed."
