"Ahhh . "
Xuxu heard the man's groan, and she gave an involuntary shudder . She wound her hands around his waist and whimpered . "Yan Rusheng . "
"Be good and go to the side . " Yan Rusheng gently nudged Xuxu and smiled at her in reassurance . Unknown to Xuxu, he had swiftly extended his leg and aimed another kick .
The hooligan who had tried to splash boiling soup on Xuxu earlier on suffered another one of Yan Rusheng's kick . He was rolling on the floor .
In a flash, Yan Rusheng appeared next to him . He then stepped on the man's hand with one foot, while the other stepped on his head .
"Ahhh…"
The man shrieked in agony . He writhed like a snake on the floor .
Yan Rusheng exerted more force and the man's ear-splitting scream intensified .
"Let me go now! Let me go!"
Yan Rusheng squatted and looked at him with menace in his eyes . He hardened his expression . "Open your eyes and take a good look at me . "
"I know you, Third Master Yan!" The hooligan begged and repeatedly pleaded . "Third Young Master, please let me go . My fingers will be broken . "
"That's exactly what I want . " Yan Rusheng gritted his teeth . He then exerted more force on his foot, and in a split second, the fingers underneath it snapped .
The severe pain brought along excruciating and traumatic shrieks from the man .
Xuxu covered her ears and turned around . She was trembling badly—the harrowing incident badly shook her . And to add on, the man's shrieks were distressing to hear .
To the man who wanted to disfigure her as a punishment—she could not be lenient towards him .
"Oh my…"
Qi Lei settled the hooligans and dashed out of the shack . He saw Yan Rusheng stepping on the hooligan's head, and it had taken him back . "Third Brother Yan . "
When the man's scream finally died down, the furious gleam in Yan Rusheng's eyes subsided .
He lifted his foot off of him and immediately turned around . He bolted towards Xuxu . "Xuxu, are you alright?"
He stood behind her with his hands hesitantly hovering in mid-air . He didn't dare take another step towards her, and so his hands gradually fell .
Xuxu turned around and looked at Yan Rusheng . She shook her head lightly . "I'm fine . Thank you . "
Thank you…
It pained Yan Rusheng when he heard Xuxu thanking him in such a formal way, but at least she was fine .
Yan Rusheng heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Qi Lei .
He pressed his lips and remained mum .
Qi Lei smiled rather foolishly at him . "Third Brother Yan, thankfully you came in time . Can you please send Sister Xuxu home? I'm slightly injured, and I want to go back to apply ointment on my wounds . "
Xuxu anxiously turned around when she heard Qi Lei . "Where were you hurt?"
Qi Lei smiled and reassured her . "I'm fine, my injuries are superficial . Hurry up and go home with Third Brother Yan . "
He glanced at Yan Rusheng .
Yan Rusheng nodded .
Xuxu was still worried about Qi Lei . "Are you sure you are really alright?"
"Yes, I'm sure . I'll go back first . " Qi Lei turned around to leave .
Xuxu stared after Qi Lei for some distance before turning around . She caught a glimpse of the ladle on the ground and seemed to recall something . She looked up at Yan Rusheng and opened her mouth, but she couldn't seem to utter a word .
After a short while, she spoke to him with her head bowed . "You… are you alright?"
Yan Rusheng felt rather disappointed when he heard how formal and distant she was with him .
If it was in the past, she would rush to him and tear his clothes apart to check his wounds .
"I'm fine . It's cold outside, let's go back," he softly replied as he shook his head . He then turned around to walk away .
Xuxu stole glances at the tall and forlorn-looking figure ahead of her . She bit her lips with her hands clenched tight .
