This made Catherine’s heart even more restless and irritated.
Li Zhiyan was actually using work hours to practice driving.
By the ti it reached four in the afternoon, Catherine’s patience was nearly worn out. Having skipped lunch and only had bottled water,
she was feeling unbearably hungry.
Finally, just as Catherine was feeling utterly miserable, Li Zhiyan walked into a seemingly very remote alley.
The area clearly lacked surveillance caras, and Catherine quickly parked her car and followed him stealthily.
Up ahead, three thugs also noticed the opportunity.
Having tailed this guy all day, now they could finally earn so cash, and they didn’t think much of Li Zhiyan at all.
After all, three against one—that should be easy.
Once he stopped in a corner, Li Zhiyan turned to look at the three n wearing sunglasses behind him.
"You’ve been following all day. Tired yet?"
At the sa ti, Li Zhiyan also spotted Catherine ducking into the small alley.
Although the three thugs had been noticed by Li Zhiyan, they didn’t appear nervous at all.
Casually, they began approaching Li Zhiyan, planning to teach him a lesson.
Catherine, having waited all day long, was finally exhilarated at this mont.
Here it cos!
Li Zhiyan, who didn’t even consider her worth bothering about, was finally going to pay the price. At last!
Yet, her heart felt uneasy. The brutal beatdown Li Zhiyan had given Brother Ni lingered vividly in Catherine’s mind.
Were these three n going to fail against Li Zhiyan?
It seed unlikely—how could three people possibly lose to one?
Catherine pulled out her phone, intending to record the scene of Li Zhiyan getting beaten up.
This way, she could replay the footage later to relieve her anger, and she’d also have plenty of other ways to tornt Li Zhiyan.
This lowly guy had to learn that she wasn’t to be trifled with!
The three n continued to approach, but Li Zhiyan remained completely unbothered.
He made the first move, kicking the thug on the right squarely.
With a dull thud, the thug on the right was instantly sent flying, while the other two tried to seize the opportunity to pin Li Zhiyan down.
No matter how strong a person is, once pinned to the ground,
there’s no room for them to fight back! These guys, who often got into brawls, were well aware of this strategy. However, with Li Zhiyan’s reflexes, how could these two amateurs possibly lay a hand on him?
Easily dodging their attacks, Li Zhiyan struck one thug squarely in the chest with his fist.
Imdiately after, he landed a kick on the other thug’s leg.
All three n cried out in varying degrees of pain. At this point, they felt sothing was definitely off.
This guy seed trained—
how was he so good at fighting?
From her hiding spot, Catherine saw the entire scene clearly. She clamped a hand over her mouth, utterly stunned.
Li Zhiyan was astonishingly skilled! Effortlessly, he overwheld the trio, leaving them howling in pain. Within monts, all three were defeated.
Could it be that he truly practiced the legendary Eastern Martial Arts?
If that’s the case, were the legends of immortal cultivation also true?
The three thugs had never expected that their attempts to gang up on Li Zhiyan would backfire so spectacularly, resulting in their humiliation. Knowing Catherine was still watching from the shadows,
they felt even more ashad. A stunning woman like Catherine—they had hoped to impress her.
After climbing to their feet, the three n charged at Li Zhiyan again, determined to take him down.
Casually ducking to avoid a punch aid at his face, Li Zhiyan unleashed a strike to the stomach of the thug in the lead. The visceral satisfaction of landing such a blow gave him an imnse sense of gratification!
Opportunities for justified self-defense fights were rare. If Catherine kept sending people his way to challenge him, he would get to indulge in unlimited combat matches.
After that, he nonchalantly toyed with the three thugs.
With nimble footwork, he dodged their attacks effortlessly, planting punches or kicks on them from every angle.
Within just a few minutes, all three thugs were bruised and battered, their faces swelling up like pandas.
Their sunglasses, ant to make them look cool, had been knocked off by Li Zhiyan.
Realizing the unfavorable turn of events, the three n turned tail and ran, terrified that Li Zhiyan might cripple them if they stayed.
The fact that they were defeated so quickly—
made Catherine, who had been watching the drama unfold, stomp her feet in frustration.
"Those useless idiots!"
"But how on earth does Li Zhiyan actually know kung fu?"
She had hoped to see him get brutally beaten up, maybe even disfigured. This might finally let her vent her anger over him kissing her.
But Catherine could never have anticipated that Li Zhiyan would be so skilled.
"Damn it, looks like I’ll have to find another way to deal with him," she muttered.
"At least seven n would be needed to take him down."
"This kung fu is terrifyingly effective."
A newfound respect for Eastern Martial Arts welled up in Catherine’s heart. She realized that taking down soone like Li Zhiyan would not be easy.
She’d have to resort to another thod to get back at him.
While Catherine fud over her failed plans, she noticed Li Zhiyan walking directly toward her hiding spot.
This made Catherine panic even more. Had Li Zhiyan discovered her?
This couldn’t be happening!
Catherine thought to herself, but Li Zhiyan was heading closer,
step by step, directly toward her.
This made Catherine’s heart race even faster, her anxiety mounting with each passing mont. She was genuinely frightened that if Li Zhiyan found her, he might beat her up.
Reaching the entrance of the alley where Catherine was hiding, Li Zhiyan now stood before her.
"Catherine, what a surprise to bump into you here. Quite the coincidence," he said.
"Yes, it’s... quite the coincidence,"
Catherine replied, feeling awkward but relieved that Li Zhiyan didn’t know she was the one who had hired the thugs to ambush him.
"I didn’t expect soone like you, the president of such a big company, to stoop so low as to hire people to harm . It’s kind of childish, don’t you think?"
"You’re spouting nonsense! Do you have any proof?"
Of course, Catherine wasn’t about to admit it. That would bring too much trouble upon her.
"They told while I was beating them up."
"They don’t keep their word!"
Only after saying this did Catherine realize she might have fallen into his trap.
"Well then, shall we report this to the police?"
Li Zhiyan knew that involving the police would likely lead nowhere since Catherine would have made sure to bribe the thugs into silence ahead of ti.
"Don’t call the police, Li Zhiyan."
"If we don’t call the police, then Ms. Catherine, you’ll have to endure a bit of your own dicine," he said.
"What are you trying to do?!"
At this mont, Catherine was visibly uneasy.
Instinctively, she stepped back a few paces.
But Li Zhiyan abruptly stepped forward, pulling Catherine into his arms and planting a kiss on her crimson lips.
"Mmph—you bastard..."
Catherine hadn’t expected to be kissed again by this lowly man.
She despised Li Zhiyan from the bottom of her heart.
But as their lips t, Catherine found herself unable to suppress or control the loneliness gnawing at her soul.
After all, Catherine was a mature woman who had been lonely for many years. She hadn’t had any intimate contact with a man for a long ti. Ever since Li Zhiyan had kissed her last ti,
the mory of that kiss had kindled a spark inside her, gradually igniting a wildfire across the grasslands of her heart.
She began passionately responding, her sudden enthusiasm catching Li Zhiyan off guard. The sensation of the kiss grew into perfection.
After all, it takes two to tango; a one-sided act holds no interest.
To kiss soone she despised to her very core—this filled Catherine with a strange, shaful thrill of being defiled.
She realized, to her surprise, she might actually enjoy this feeling.
