Chapter 71: 065 Li Zhiyan is even better than a son!
 

Li Zhiyan was indeed very formidable at that moment.

After all, the strength of a 20-year-old was nothing to scoff at.

Anyone who saw him would feel inferior.

Fang Zhiya also noticed this scene…

This kid really had an early display of greatness, but at the moment, her heart, filled with fear, had no mood to think of anything else.

Fang Zhiya was aware of debt collectors’ reputation.

Tactics like using a slingshot to break glass, splashing red paint, and intimidation were all things she had experienced before.

Back then, she had been living in constant trepidation.

After moving, she thought she could start a peaceful life over again, but it was then that Fang Zhiya realized that a happy and stable life seemed to be just a naïve and lovely fantasy of hers.

Now, these people from the debt collection company had appeared before her again.

“I really don’t have any money…”

“Please give me some more time.”

The three debt collectors had yet to recover from their inferiority complex.

This kid was frighteningly tough!

However, getting money was still the most important thing, as they would only receive a commission if they collected dues within the credit term.

If they couldn’t collect the money after some time, it would be handed over to the next batch of collectors, so they had no intention of giving Fang Zhiya any leeway to slowly figure things out.

“Auntie, you’ve still got your charms. You keep me company, just the two of us sleep together for one night, and I’ll give you three days’ grace, give you time to get the money. Isn’t that fair?”

Fang Zhiya backpedaled repeatedly.

“Impossible, if you keep this up, I’m calling the police!”

Clearly, Fang Zhiya’s words did not scare the tall and thin guy who was leading the group.

He directly picked up a folding stool and smashed it onto the ground with force.

The plastic stool instantly shattered into pieces.

Customers who had just thought of coming in to eat were scared away as well.

In this era, people instinctively feared such thugs, as short videos were not yet widely spread and the internet’s latency was quite significant.

“Xiao Yan, run!”

Fang Zhiya, sensing trouble, urged Li Zhiyan to run. She resigned herself to being beaten if need be, ready to fight with a pot of hot soup in her hands.

She had to protect the child at all costs!

With the pot of hot soup in hand, Fang Zhiya screamed hysterically, “Stay away from me!”

In her heart, traditionally to the extreme…

How could she possibly accept the unreasonable demand of a thug.

Even if it meant her death, she would never do such a thing!

Li Zhiyan’s heart was overwhelmed with emotion. Auntie was truly far better than a young girl, at least in times of real trouble.

They would stand in front of him just like they were protecting their own child.

Seeing Fang Zhiya holding up a pot of boiling hot soup, the three thugs got a bit cowardly…

They were collectors, but if they got disfigured because of it, it wouldn’t be worth it.

But this couldn’t scare them off, they were convinced that the woman wouldn’t dare to splash the hot soup since intentional injury was a crime that could put her in jail.

“Then splash it.”

The three men kept pressing in, but they were also prepared to dodge at the same time.

Li Zhiyan could tell, Aunt Fang was really ready to risk it all, that 1.6-meter frame, the delicate-looking Aunt Fang pushed to the brink of desperation.

It made Li Zhiyan’s heart ache uncontrollably.

Aunt Fang’s suicide in a previous life showed she was indeed capable of risking her own life.

These beasts!

“Three bastards.”

“I cnmnm.”

Li Zhiyan blurted out a national essence, drawing the fire upon himself; he could no longer restrain his impulse to fight.

Against such scumbags, he would definitely not hold back!

As expected! When the three thugs saw Li Zhiyan cussing, they all walked towards him.

They were already jealous of Li Zhiyan’s toughness.

Now was a good time to give him a ruthless beating.

And it seemed that the kid had a close relationship with the woman, probably her son or nephew or something.

If they beat him up, the woman would surely be forced to come up with the money.

Perhaps even the thought of sleeping with her could come true— this woman was so beautiful, to die for…

“Go to hell!”

A hoodlum on the left charged towards Li Zhiyan.

He intended to hit Li Zhiyan with a flying kick; experienced in brawling, he knew such a move would surely knock this average-height kid to the ground.

“Xiao Yan!”

Fang Zhiya was completely panicked, but because they were very close to each other,

she hesitated to intervene, not daring to act recklessly.

Her heart was touched yet fearful at the same time; this kid was truly trying to protect her as if she were his mother.

But these were three hoodlums who frequently fought; how could a kid like him stand a chance?

Putting the noodle soup back on the stove, she grabbed the knife used for cutting noodles, ready to fight to the death.

At that moment, Li Zhiyan’s status in Fang Zhiya’s heart rose yet another level.

Li Zhiyan was like her own son.

Even better to her than her biological son.

She would not allow anyone to bully him! No one!

Although she was just a woman with limited strength, she too would fight with all her might.

But what happened next left Fang Zhiya utterly dumbfounded…

Because she saw the hoodlum who appeared much tougher than Li Zhiyan being kicked away by him, lying on the ground with a face full of pain.

Next, he was like a dragon emerging from the sea.

He knocked down another hoodlum on the right with a single punch.

The skinny and tall hoodlum in the middle started to back down, hurriedly trying to pull out the knife he’d been toying with from his pocket.

But Li Zhiyan was too fast to give him the chance.

Before his hand could reach his pocket, Li Zhiyan had already grasped his wrist.

“You little…”

Before he could finish his insult, he heard a snapping sound.

Severe pain spread, turning his complexion deathly pale!

This kid must be trained in Sanda, and he had participated in those kinds of competitions!

Today, they had just come out to collect a debt, how did they run into such a tough nut!

This was serious trouble!

It seemed that the supposedly fierce people were just as fierce in a fight.

The next second, Li Zhiyan landed a punch in his belly.

In the blink of an eye, the three hoodlums were taken down by Li Zhiyan, lying there and wailing continuously.

Fang Zhiya could never have imagined…

These three fierce-looking young men from the streets couldn’t even win against a kid like Li Zhiyan, all three of them losing to just one.

How could Xiao Yan fight so well!

Gradually sitting up, the leading hoodlum’s eyes were filled with fury; he couldn’t let this go unless he broke the kid’s arm today.

To be beaten by a kid, it would sound terrible once the word got out.

The people from those debt collection companies were local tyrants, capable of anything, and it wouldn’t surprise Li Zhiyan.

These three men would surely find ways to take revenge on Aunt Fang in the future, her business might not last.

He had to resolve the issue from its root.

This was when the strength of the system came into play; with every task, the system always provided an appropriate plan.

Afterward, he began to make a phone call.

Seeing Li Zhiyan making a call, seemingly to call for backup, the leader of the hoodlums sensed something was amiss.

Anyone who had trained Sanda to such an extent definitely had some shady connections.

The people he knew were definitely not simple.

“Hello, President Xu.”

Over the phone, the voice of Xu Gensheng came through.

“Brother Li, long time no see.”

“What’s the matter.”

Sitting there, the heart of the leading hoodlum sank completely.

It was over… He had truly provoked someone he couldn’t afford to mess with. Given Xu Gensheng’s methods, it wouldn’t be surprising if he broke his fingers.
