I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Zhang Zihao.

Zhang Xiong's son, who has blond hair, is quite handsome, but always has a fierce look in his eyes.

He kept a close eye on Gu Yan's expression.

He saw Gu Yan glance coldly at Hua Heng, her eyes darting around, and he immediately understood.

"It must be that cowardly bodyguard who didn't do his job properly and failed to protect Master Gu's girlfriend!"

"It made Master Gu personally come to deal with this mess!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Zihao's ruthlessness, which he had developed on the streets, came back to him.

He completely disregarded Hua Heng's reputation as a martial arts prodigy and gave him no time to react.

A young martial arts genius?

Who isn't a genius?

He was forced by his father to practice martial arts every day since he was a child, and he was given all kinds of top-notch medicinal baths.

As long as it's not a monster like the Pei family's sword immortal or the Lin family's fire god, who would he be afraid of?

What's more, this is a good-for-nothing who can't even protect Master Gu Yan's girlfriend.

He suddenly lunged forward and delivered a powerful punch to Hua Heng's stomach!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Hua Heng, completely unprepared for this, groaned in pain, bent over, and stumbled to the ground.

He clutched his stomach, his lips twitching, his eyes filled with not only pain but also confusion and grievance.

He didn't want to fight back, and even wondered... if he deserved the punch.

Gu Yan froze for a moment.

He... he really wanted to beat up Hua Heng, but he hadn't said it yet!

Does Zhang Zihao have mind-reading abilities? His action-taking speed is just too outrageous!

He stared blankly at Zhang Zihao.

The latter had already stopped punching and stood still, even secretly winking at him with a smug look on his face, clearly very satisfied with his quick thinking.

Seeing this guy's behavior, Gu Yan was too lazy to explain, and only felt a deep sense of exhaustion wash over her.

He rubbed his temples.

At this moment, he should be comfortably sitting in the soft chair in the command center, drinking coffee, calmly planning and advancing Cecilia's healing script through monitoring.

But now?

Everything is in complete chaos.

Because Shen Youyao caused some trouble, Hua Heng, the male lead, proved to be ineffective.

He has to deal with this mess first.

Gu Yan's icy gaze first fell on Wang Hu, who was lying on the ground, his head covered in blood.

When Wang Hu met his gaze, he instinctively flinched, a flash of malice crossing his eyes, but it was quickly masked by an even stronger sense of fear and ingratiation, forcing him to force a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Gu Yan stopped looking at him and turned to Hua Heng, who had just barely managed to get up, her voice devoid of warmth.

"you."

Gu Yan pointed at Wang Hu with her chin, "Break one of his legs."

"Master Gu... this..."

Hua Heng suddenly looked up, his face drained of color, his lips trembling.

"You're not going to hit him?"

"I'll hit you. Choose."

Gu Yan interrupted him, her tone even colder.

Hua Heng's pupils contracted sharply, unable to believe that these words came from the same person who had just been gently stroking Shen Youyao's hair.

These were the words spoken by Gu Yan, who said she had faith in her own fists.

But Gu Yan's eyes at this moment were like a frozen deep pool, without the slightest hint of a joke.

Gu Yan knew she only had four days before heading to South Africa, far from the central government's reach.

He no longer had time to guide Hua Heng slowly, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

The male protagonist is cowardly to the core. Without seeing bloodshed and experiencing extreme impact, he will probably never grow that tough bone.

Even if I'm seen as the villain because of this, even if it completely changes the plot, what happens to all those female leads making dumplings later...?

He didn't care anymore.

Before he leaves, he must leave Shen Youyao with a barrier that at least dares to grit his teeth and stand in front of her, even if that barrier is still scrap metal now, he must smash it into shape!

"Aren't you going to make a move? Useless!"

"Didn't you hear what Master Gu said? Do you want me to help you out?"

Zhang Zihao, standing nearby, spat impatiently. The blond-haired man's face, gleaming in the sunlight, revealed a ferocious expression once again.

"No, no... Hua Heng, Hua Heng, we're neighbors after all..."

"Master Gu, Master Gu, I was wrong, I'll never dare to do it again!"

Wang Hu was so frightened that he didn't care about the blood on his head and face. He dragged his injured leg and tried to crawl away, making muffled pleas.

Hua Heng stood there, his body trembling slightly, his eyes filled with struggle and pain, and he looked utterly dejected.

Should we make him break someone else's leg on his own initiative?

This is completely contrary to his education over the past ten years and his personality.

Even though Wang Hu had bullied him so much before, Hua Heng still didn't dare to make up his mind to take action.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Zhang Zihao completely lost his patience.

"Damn it, so slow and indecisive!"

He cursed, then suddenly struck, not at Hua Heng, but by grabbing Wang Hu's ankle as he tried to crawl away, dragging him back to his original spot amidst the latter's pig-like screams.

"Then, before anyone could react, Zhang Zihao grabbed Hua Heng's foot and stomped his hard-soled leather boot down hard on Wang Hu's leg!"

"Snap!"

The sickening sound of bones cracking rang out clearly.

"ah--!!!"

Wang Hu's screams suddenly rose in pitch, then became distorted and twisted due to the excruciating pain. He clutched his obviously abnormally bent lower leg and rolled wildly on the ground.

Tears streamed down his face; he looked as if he were about to die at any moment.

Gu Yan just watched coldly.

His decision not to kill Wang Hu was not out of soft-heartedness, but out of a cold-blooded calculation.

He knew Wang Hu well enough.

Greedy, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, vindictive, but also valuing life above all else.

Destroying him would be enough to make him and his cronies in the subsequent plot tremble with fear and weigh the consequences of provoking Shen Youyao.

He remembered that Wang Hu later used Shen Youyao's body to even get close to a top-tier playboy in Beijing's military circle.

As for why the young master from the Beijing elite circle would take a liking to Shen Youyao, well, this young master is the third male lead, and also part of the redemption process.

In any case, female-oriented novels do indeed lack logic.

Putting all that aside, if it were really replaced by some rich young master...

Or, if it's someone like Li Hu or Zhang Hu, he'll have to reassess the risks, and that would be troublesome.

"It's noisy."

Gu Yan frowned, then suddenly said indifferently.

Zhang Zihao immediately understood and made a hand gesture towards the shadows.

Immediately, two bodyguards dressed in ordinary civilian clothes but exuding a sharp aura stepped forward and dragged Wang Hu, who was in so much pain he was about to faint, away like a dead dog. His screams quickly faded into the distance.

At the scene, only Hua Heng, who was distraught and pale-faced, and Shen Youyao, who had her head down, remained.

And there was Gu Yan, expressionless, and Zhang Zihao, waiting for the next instructions.

"Take this piece of trash aside, don't let him get in the way of the master."

Zhang Zihao glanced disdainfully at the absent-minded Hua Heng, muttering under his breath that he was a hopeless case, and then gestured to the other bodyguard.

The bodyguard stepped forward and, half-supporting and half-dragging, led the limp Hua Heng away from the area.

Zhang Zihao then turned to Gu Yan, his face instantly plastered with a fawning and ingratiating smile, and he even gave Shen Youyao a meaningful wink.

"Master Gu, well... you and your wife can talk slowly. We'll clean this place up thoroughly and make sure no one disturbs us!"

He pronounced the words "sister-in-law" in a slightly ambiguous tone, and without waiting for Gu Yan's response, he tactfully led the remaining people away quickly, disappearing into various places.

The actors who had been pretending to play while secretly observing immediately understood each other and left, either entering the amusement park rides or heading into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, only Gu Yan and Shen Youyao remained near the fountain square.

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the faint sound of amusement park music coming from afar.
