NOVEL WEB Chapter 102
"It seems I need to deal with this gang first to lure out the mastermind behind them."
Li Xiao faced the group of thugs, his eyes cold and sharp.
He glanced at a Mercedes parked not far away. Through the window, he could vaguely see someone inside watching the scene with an amused expression.
As the gangsters closed in, Li Xiao charged straight into the crowd.
He wouldn't let these guys harm his family.
Like a wolf among sheep, he tore through them mercilessly.
Even though he looked battered, his injuries were only superficial—his strength remained intact. Taking down these thugs was effortless.
He had no intention of showing mercy to those who threatened his family.
With each punch, a scream echoed, and another thug collapsed, completely losing the ability to fight.
In just one minute, the once-aggressive gang lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.
No, one man was still standing.
The green-haired leader trembled all over, his face filled with horror.
He clutched a baton in his hand, but it brought him no sense of security.
His subordinates had knives, yet they were still beaten senseless.
"You…"
The green-haired leader was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this guy just discharged from the hospital?
How was he still this strong?
Fighting ten armed men was like child's play to him.
Li Xiao's parents were equally shocked.
They knew their son often got into trouble outside, but they never imagined he was this powerful.
While relieved that he handled the situation, they also grew anxious—he had beaten them so badly.
Would the police arrest him?
Li Yunshu merely glanced at him briefly before looking away.
In her opinion—
This problem wasn't something that could be solved with brute force alone.
Even if he beat these thugs, the gang behind them still had connections with the police.
Better to wait for Uncle Xu to arrive.
"Call out whoever's behind you. This isn't a matter for small fries like you anymore," Li Xiao said indifferently.
The green-haired leader's expression shifted.
Li Xiao was too strong. He wasn't a match for him.
Only the vice president could handle this.
"No need to call. I'm already here."
Just as the green-haired leader hesitated, a deep voice came from behind.
A middle-aged man with an imposing presence and a slightly overweight frame stepped forward.
"President Zhang."
The green-haired leader respectfully greeted him.
This man was a big shot in their gang, the one who claimed to have police connections—his own brother.
"Tell the men to step back."
President Zhang waved his hand, then turned to Li Xiao with a self-introduction.
"I'm the vice president of the Xiaodao Gang, also in charge of this demolition project."
Li Xiao frowned.
This man reeked of the same hypocrisy as Xu Hao.
A sneer crept onto his face.
"If it's just a demolition, we wouldn't have a problem with a fair price. But you're pushing people too hard."
"Hah… We don't need your advice on how we do business. You should worry about yourself instead," President Zhang suddenly changed his tone.
He had no intention of playing nice anymore.
Since they were enemies, there was no need for pretense.
"What do you mean?"
Li Xiao's eyes narrowed, sensing trouble.
"Assault and causing serious injury—I've already called the police. They should be here soon."
President Zhang smiled smugly.
Li Xiao tensed.
"They attacked first. I was just defending myself. What's the point of calling the police?"
"Hah! My brother is in the force. If he says you assaulted someone, then you did."
President Zhang dropped all pretense, his arrogance in full display.
Li Xiao clenched his fists.
This guy was blatantly twisting the truth.
But he wasn't worried at all.
After all, he wasn't just some nobody—he was under the protection of a major antagonist.
The Chu family was just as powerful as the Xu family, both billion-dollar corporations.
Considering he had saved Chu Xiong's life,
Even if this was deliberate injury instead of self-defense,
They still wouldn't dare do anything to him.
Li Xiao's parents, however, felt a sinking dread.
Their worst fear had come true.
Unaware of their son's true connections, their faces were filled with worry.
Li Xiao's father stepped forward and demanded angrily,
"How can you do this? You were the ones who started the fight! How can you blame my son?"
Li Xiao's heart warmed.
Even though his parents always scolded him for being reckless, they still cared deeply about him.
He silently vowed—
They were his parents now, and he wouldn't let anything happen to them.
"Hah… You can explain that to my brother," President Zhang scoffed.
As soon as he finished speaking, police sirens blared in the distance.
Moments later, a police car pulled up, and several officers stepped out.
"Brother."
The green-haired leader grinned and approached the lead officer.
"I told you to stop causing trouble," the officer scolded his younger brother, clearly used to cleaning up after him.
"Where's the guy?"
"It's him. He's crazy strong—took down seven or eight guys on his own."
