You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

When questioned, Chen Li stubbornly insisted, "I...I didn't do anything."

Do you think we believe that?

Lu Yuan's tone grew colder, and he threatened, "You probably also want to have a peaceful and happy New Year, right? I don't want to push things too far. After all, I'm a good person."

Having said all that, Chen Li finally raised her head, staring at Lu Yuan with red eyes.

His eyes were filled with resentment and malice.

If she could, she would not hesitate to devour Lu Yuansheng alive.

Lu Yuan frowned: "What? You have a big problem with me? Look at me like that, what's wrong with you? Say it now."

Chen Li bit her lip and said angrily, "Of course I have a problem with you! I hate you, I hate every single one of you!"

"Heh, you hate me?" Lu Yuan sneered. "To be honest, Chen Li, if I weren't a good person, I would have broken your legs instead of sending you to the provincial capital when you bullied Yi Xian last time. Believe it or not?"

"Then you might as well break my legs!"

Chen Li became even more agitated, her voice trembling: "I'm telling you, I went to Ye Yixian's house to put bugs in her room and disgust her!"

"Release the bugs?"

Ye Yixian was stunned for a moment.

She had considered that Chen Li might have various means of revenge, but she never expected this one.

"Yes, it's releasing bugs! It'll disgust you!"

The insects Chen Li mentioned were nothing more than cockroaches or similar creatures.

She probably wouldn't dare release poisonous insects, but she certainly could do release these small bugs.

Ye Yixian rolled her eyes: "Chen Li, are you kidding me? I'm not afraid of those things at all. When I was ten, a poisonous snake got into our house, and I caught it myself and threw it out."

Lu Yuan was speechless. He shook his head and said, "Chen Li, let me put it this way: if we hadn't sent you to the provincial capital to find a job, you'd still be a street urchin, having to chip in with others for a cup of milk tea. Even now, don't you understand that we don't want to kill you?"

"Even if you're not grateful, you shouldn't hold a grudge against Yixian, right? You were the one who bullied her first."

Lu Yuan was actually very disappointed.

If Chen Li remains unrepentant, then in order to protect Yi Xian, he will have no choice but to take even more extreme measures.

Chen Li suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down her face: "What kind of bullshit help is this! You have no idea what I suffered in the provincial capital! I had only been there a few days when that bastard Li Jie dumped me and ran off with some old lady. I was all alone in the factory, looked down upon, doing the hardest work for the lowest pay! And there was a bunch of old men plotting against me."

She wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse: "If I hadn't later ingratiated myself with Brother Biao from my hometown, who was willing to help me, I don't know what kind of miserable life I would have had!"

She broke down in tears, indicating that she had indeed suffered a lot during her initial period in the provincial capital.

These days, many factory workers form cliques, mostly small groups made up of people from the same hometown. If someone gets promoted, they'll give priority to their own people.

Li Jie and his gang of thugs packed up and ran away. Chen Li, a young girl, was all alone in the outside world with no one to help her, so it was no surprise that she was bullied.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Yuan reached out and shoved Chen Li's head, showing no pity whatsoever. "Then why aren't you blaming that bastard Li Jie for abandoning you, but instead blaming us? Don't you have the guts to confront Li Jie?"

Chen Li staggered and looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.

She felt she had already suffered enough; Lu Yuan, a grown man, should at least have some sympathy, right?

He showed no sympathy and even attacked?

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Lu Yuan asked expressionlessly.

Chen Li said angrily, "If Li Jie dares to show his face in front of me, I promise I'll have someone beat him up! He slept with me, and in the end, he ran off with that old woman just because she's rich! With that short and small thing of his, he thinks he can be a gigolo? He's definitely been kicked out by that old lady by now."

At this point, she looked at Lu Yuan, Ye Yixian, and Lin Na, her tone suddenly hardening: "You'd better be polite to me. I have a new boyfriend, and he has connections. One phone call from me, and he'll bring people over. Even if he can't beat you, he definitely won't let me suffer any losses."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Linna was the first to object, scoffing, "Go ahead and call now. If you can't get twenty men, I'll kill you tonight."

"Okay! Don't run away!"

Driven to desperation, Chen Li immediately pulled out her phone and made a call.

It seems she really has connections.

The call was answered quickly, and Chen Li's voice immediately became pitiful: "Brother Biao, I'm being ambushed at the intersection near my house. Please come help me quickly. Bring more men..."

It seems she wasn't lying; she really could call in help.

Ye Yixian was a little worried, so she leaned closer to Lu Yuan and whispered, "Should we ask Sister Ya for help?"

Gao Ya knows a lot of people in Jiangcheng, so if you need to call on someone, you can't go wrong with her.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Lin Na also chimed in, "Lu Yuan, it's up to you now."

Lu Yuan glanced at her: "No, Sister Na, you were the one who made those harsh remarks, why didn't you say you'd handle it?"

Lin Na blushed slightly: "I don't know many people in Jiangcheng, and I'm just a woman. Of course, I have to rely on you when something like this happens."

With red eyes, Chen Li said triumphantly, "I've already called for help. If you have the guts, don't try to run away."

"Are we afraid of you?"

Lin Na stood tall and proud, and to be honest, her chest was really perky, exuding an imposing aura: "You bitch, do you know who I am? If you mess with me, you won't even dare to go to the provincial capital again."

"Heh, then I'll make sure you don't leave Jiangcheng." Chen Li was desperate. "Brother Biao can call a lot of people, just you wait."

It seems this guy called Brother Biao has quite a bit of influence.

Lin Na asked Lu Yuan, "Do you know who this 'Brother Biao' she's talking about is? How strong is he?"

"I don't know him." Lu Yuan shrugged.

Aside from government officials, the most powerful person in Jiangcheng is probably Uncle Qian.

That's Uncle Qian, who spent a lot of money unnecessarily because Hou Mingyu fabricated rumors.

Xia Anqi's family is also very powerful, but it is said that their main base is not in Jiangcheng, so strictly speaking, they are not considered a local force.

Apart from that, Lu Yuan had never heard of any prominent figure calling himself "Brother Biao".

Lu Yuan and the other two didn't leave; they just stood at the intersection and waited.

About ten minutes later, a roar came from afar. Several motorcycles with their high beams on roared in, making quite a spectacle, the blinding lights making it hard to open one's eyes.

Each vehicle carried three or four people, and there were at least eighteen or twenty in total. They were all strong young men, carrying sticks, and they came in a menacing manner.

Lin Na quickly hid behind Lu Yuan.

Ye Yixian also nervously grabbed Lu Yuan's arm.

"Heh, you're finished!"

Chen Li was extremely proud and quickly ran over to greet her Brother Biao.

The motorcycle convoy stopped around Lu Yuan and his group, the engine sounds rising and falling.

Chen Li ran towards the last car, where a man was sitting alone.

She leaned over and said a few words, presumably complaining, then the man cursed, strode over carrying a steel pipe, and arrogantly roared, "Who bullied my girl? Looking for death? Don't you know how powerful Jiangcheng Sangbiao is?"
