After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Those with mediocre talent can make up for their shortcomings with diligence, and those with a restless mind can be gradually honed."

Lin Li looked at Ming Qian and said calmly, "Most importantly, I value your ruthlessness and loyalty."

"On the path of martial arts, sometimes character is more important than aptitude."

Mingxi didn't run away just now; instead, she chose to stay and take responsibility, even willing to cut off her own arm to repay the debt of gratitude.

This made him feel a little favorably toward him.

This girl has a bad temper, but she's not a bad person at heart; she's barely considered a promising talent.

"real?!"

Mingxi was taken aback, then excitedly asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

If one could truly become an apprentice of a powerful figure like Lin Li, that would be something countless people dream of!

"What I say goes."

Lin Li stroked his chin and then deliberately said, "However, there are many rules to being my apprentice. Moreover, you may not be able to give me what I want."

What do you want?

Mingxi wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by, and eagerly asked, "If I have it, I'll give it to you!"

"Um……"

Looking at her face flushed with excitement, Lin Li suddenly felt like teasing her. He deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "I want...you."

boom!

Mingxi's mind went completely blank for a moment, and she could only stare blankly at Lin Li.

I want...you?

What does this mean?

Could it be... could it be that he wants to...?

Mingxi's face turned bright red, her heart raced, and she couldn't help but let her mind wander.

I've long heard that some masters have peculiar preferences when it comes to taking on disciples. Could Lin Li be one of those people?

But... but this person saved Dad and Second Brother, and in order to learn real skills...

Mingxi gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay... I... I promise you."

"If you can teach me real skills... I... I'm willing to sacrifice myself..."

After saying that, she actually reached out to unbutton her dress!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Li was startled and quickly grabbed Ming Qian's hand, looking both amused and exasperated: "What are you doing?!"

"You...you said you wanted me, didn't you?"

Mingxi opened her eyes, her face filled with shame and indignation. Her lips trembled as she said, "I...I'll give it to you right away..."

"What are you thinking?"

Lin Li was surprised that Ming Qian actually took it seriously, so he could only feign speechlessness and say, "When I said 'I want you,' I meant I want you to be my apprentice!"

"From now on, your life and your very being belong to me, Lin Li! You are not allowed to die, nor are you allowed to lose, without my permission! Understand?!"

"what?"

Mingxi was stunned. Looking at Lin Li's upright and gentlemanly demeanor, and then at her own collar where one button had been undone, she immediately realized that she had misunderstood.

"ah--!"

She screamed, covered her face, and squatted on the ground, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

What a shame!

That's so embarrassing!

Lin Li looked at the little ostrich that seemed to want to bury itself in the ground and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, stop pretending to be dead."

He patted Mingxi's head. "I'm leaving now. I'll contact you later."

……

Lin Li stared at the red light at the intersection, his fingers unconsciously tapping the steering wheel, when a beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Fang Wanqing.

Since the last time she confessed her feelings to him, the two have not been in contact.

I wonder how she's been lately? Has she been frightened by what happened to Wang Mei?

Thinking of the women in his family, especially Su Qian who had also been kidnapped, Lin Li hesitated for a moment, then turned the steering wheel and drove towards Fang Wanqing's apartment.

"Never mind, let's go see her."

……

"Zhong Yu! Let go of me! Are you crazy?!"

Fang Wanqing struggled desperately, trying to push away the man who was pressing down on her.

"Wanqing, I really like you!"

Zhong Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he gripped Fang Wanqing's hands tightly, panting as he said, "I've liked you for four whole years! Don't you feel any remorse at all?"

The two were college classmates. Zhong Yu fell in love with Fang Wanqing from the first time he saw her and kept pursuing her throughout college.

"I've already told you, I don't like you!"

Fang Wanqing glared at Zhong Yu and shouted angrily, "Zhong Yu, this is a crime! I'm calling the police!"

She really didn't expect Zhong Yu to dare to do such a thing, using the excuse of helping her friend deliver something to trick her into opening the door, and even trying to forcibly take her!

"Call the police?"

Zhong Yu sneered, his expression arrogant: "Go ahead and report it! See if the police dare to arrest me! My dad is the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau! In this Jiangcheng, who dares to touch me?!"

As he spoke, he tore at Fang Wanqing's clothes even more recklessly.

"Help! Help!"

No matter how hard Fang Wanqing tried, she couldn't break free and could only keep shouting for help.

"Shout! Shout all you want!"

Hearing her shouting, Zhong Yu, though stubborn, still reached out and covered Fang Wanqing's mouth, grinning maliciously, "The soundproofing in this house is excellent!"

"And so what if the people around heard? Do you want everyone to know you were raped? You'll be the one who loses face!"

He threatened, "Wanqing, you'd better behave and serve me well, and you'll get your share of the benefits later."

"Otherwise... hehe, I'll take a picture of you looking like this and post it online, ruining your reputation!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wanqing's body stiffened abruptly.

Although Zhong Yu had been harassing her, he still maintained the minimum demeanor of a second-generation official. I never expected him to be such a hypocrite!

"Hehe, Wanqing, you'd better stick with me, you won't regret it!"

Seeing that Su Wanqing had stopped resisting, Zhong Yu chuckled lewdly and reached his hand towards under her skirt—

boom!

A loud bang.

The thick security door was kicked open!

Zhong Yu was so frightened by the voice that he almost collapsed. He turned around in terror and saw a man with a murderous look on his face standing at the door.

"Who are you?!"

"Lin...Lin Li?!"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Fang Wanqing burst into tears. She suddenly pushed Zhong Yu away forcefully, crying out, "Lin Li! Save me!"

Lin Li looked at Fang Wanqing, who was disheveled and tear-streaked, and rushed over without saying a word, grabbing Zhong Yu by the collar.

"What...what do you want to do?!"

Zhong Yu's feet left the ground, and he began to struggle, shouting, "Let me go! I'm Zhong Yu! My dad is..."

boom!

Lin Li ignored his nonsense and punched him directly in the stomach.

Zhong Yu screamed and doubled over, vomiting up his dinner.

Lin Li frowned in disgust, slammed the man heavily to the ground, grabbed his left arm, and twisted it—

Click!

"ah--"

Zhong Yu clutched his left arm and screamed in agony, his face covered in cold sweat.
