Chi Hailang could not tolerate this. He shook off Li Beinian’s grip and turned around swinging his fist, delivering a heavy blow to Wang Lei’s face.
He was too quick, and by the time Li Beinian could react, Wang Lei cried in agony.
Lin Yuxin jumped in fright, taking a step forward in an attempt to stop this.
But Wang Hao, who was standing by the side, was quicker. Cursing aloud, he immediately came down on Chi Hailang, starting a fight.
Li Beinian scowled and hollered angrily. “Enough! Stop it!”
At these words, Chi Hailang paused. Alas, at the same time, Wang Lei had raised his leg and kicked him in the back. Following this, Wang Hao threw another punch across Chi Hailang’s face.
“Damn it!” Li Beinian strode towards them and grabbed Wang Lei by his collar. Pushing him against the wall, she started hitting out at him.
The scene was a mess.
Wang Lei could never have imagined that he’d be beaten up by a woman!
He retaliated in fury. However, as he was about to draw a punch, he was blocked. Closely following this, he felt a hard punch on his stomach.
He shoved Li Beinian aside, shouting in anger, “F*** you!”
He jumped and struck out at Li Beinian with a forceful punch. Li Beinian laughed and took a step back. Suddenly, a whiff of perfume filled her nostrils before she felt a hard push from the back. Instead of having avoided the punch, the blow came down on her shoulder. A sharp pain shot right through her bone as her face turned pale.
Wang Lei looked aggressive now as he raised and pulled back his other arm, directing his fist towards her face.
Li Beinian’s gaze turned icy as she dodged at lightning speed, raising her leg to kick him forcefully.
Wang Lei was blocked from moving forward, at the same time, Li Beinian recoiled from the impact. Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands steady her.
“Big brother!” Lin Yuxin exclaimed, as though she had just seen her savior.
Wang Lei had wanted to continue the fight but halted when he heard her calling out.
Li Beinian turned around. Lin Ya’s elegantly refined and genteel face greeted her.
Only, he looked somewhat displeased now. “What’s going on?”
Li Beinian’s shoulder was numb, and she was pale from the pain at this point.
She looked at Lin Ya angrily and in disbelief, asking, “Was it you who pushed me just then?”
Lin Ya’s expression tensed up as he turned around to look behind him.
Standing behind him was Lin Kerou. She stumbled a step back as she caught Li Beinian’s stare.
Li Beinian suddenly understood, and her heart sank. The pain in her shoulder flared again as her arm went numb.
“Hailang!” Lin Yuxin ran towards Chi Hailang as she cried out, “Are you okay?”
There were new bruises on his face, and the corner of his mouth was swollen and bleeding.
He wiped off the blood and said to Lin Yuxin, “I’m fine.”
“You again!” Lin Ya’s tone carried obvious displeasure. “Why do you like to get into fights so much? If you have the guts, stop getting people to clean up your act all the time.”
Chi Hailang was infuriated by the chiding, but he wasn’t in the condition to retort.
It was the truth.
Lin Ya’s stern face was even more deterring than the shrewd smile that he usually carried.
He shot a glance at Wang Lei and Wang Hao, remarking, “You two are quite capable too, hitting a woman?”
Wang Lei and Wang Hao squirmed with awkward uneasiness. Just as they opened their mouths to explain, Lin Ya walked towards Li Beinian.
He reached out to examine her shoulder, asking, “Are you okay?”
Li Beinian knitted her brow tightly and pushed his hand away, replying, “I’m fine…”
“Mayor Lin.” Her voice was calm, its magnetism slightly subdued by a cool indifference.
Only, undetectable anger underlined it.
