As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zexi raised his hand to grab Su Yueyi’s wrist, but just as he lifted his arm, Ye Tianfan’s large hand seized his wrist, causing Li Zexi to scream in pain: “Ah!… Damn it, let go of me, or I’ll have someone break your leg…”

Ye Tianfan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, “Try saying that again!”

A dragon has a reverse scale, and touching it is fatal, and Ye Tianfan’s mother inadvertently is his reverse scale.

Now Li Zexi had insulted his mother, stirring up a murderous intent in Ye Tianfan’s heart!

Li Zexi glared angrily at Ye Tianfan and said furiously, “You…”

“Slap!”

In the instant the clear sound of the slap echoed, two of Li Zexi’s teeth flew out of his mouth.

The slap from Ye Tianfan was so unexpected that even the bodyguard behind Li Zexi couldn’t react in time.

At this moment, stars danced before Li Zexi’s eyes, dizziness overwhelming him, causing him to lose his balance and fall to his knees, saliva mixed with blood pooling and dripping onto the ground.

Seeing this, the face of the bodyguard behind Li Zexi suddenly changed!

A blunder!

Unexpectedly, someone dared to attack a member of the Li Family! And with such force!

“Dare to touch our Young Master Li, you’re courting death!”

After suddenly shouting, the bodyguard wearing black swung his fist the size of a sandbag, carrying a gust of wind, rapidly striking towards Ye Tianfan’s head.

This bodyguard was hired by the Li Family for a hefty sum, an elite tasked with ensuring Li Zexi’s safety, his strength beyond question.

As the saying goes, you can tell an expert as soon as he makes a move, there were no flashy techniques in his punch, yet the sound of air being sliced reminded Ye Tianfan that the power of this punch was enough to smash through the concrete walls of the noodle shop.

“Hmph!”

Ye Tianfan snorted coldly, unfazed, his calm eyes fixed on the incoming fist, slowly raising his hand to casually deliver a light slap!

“Bang!”

At the instant the fist and palm met, the bodyguard’s face suddenly changed dramatically, feeling a powerful force emanating from Ye Tianfan’s palm, making it too late to retract his punch.

“Crack!”

A faint sound of bone fracturing was heard, the bodyguard’s face contorted in pain, his arm bone had fractured.

“You…” the bodyguard exclaimed in shock, intending to withdraw using the force of the rebound, but Ye Tianfan’s expression changed abruptly, his lips curling into a cold smile that expanded in the bodyguard’s pupils.

In the next moment, Ye Tianfan raised two fingers, moving like lightning, striking the bodyguard’s chest multiple times in succession.

Following this, the bodyguard couldn’t help but groan, retreating several steps, a look of terror appearing on his face.

Ye Tianfan’s technique was too swift for others to perceive, but the bodyguard knew that in that fleeting moment, Ye Tianfan’s fingers had mercilessly jabbed more than a dozen acupoints on his chest.

The bodyguard now felt intense pain throughout his body, a tingling sensation radiating from his acupoints, rendering him powerless as a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

“Who are you?”

Ye Tianfan’s eyes were filled with chill, as he glanced at the bodyguard and said coldly, “You don’t need to know the answer to that question. All you need to know is that if I want, sending you to hell is merely a flick of my wrist!”

The bodyguard’s face changed dramatically; among experts, life and death can be decided in an instant. Clearly, Ye Tianfan had shown mercy; otherwise, he would now be a cold corpse!

Who exactly is he?

In an instant, the bodyguard mentally ran through all the major powers in China, from the first knife master of the Northern Frontier, the Xie Family with the Shadowless Palm, and the top killer Gui Jianchou, thinking only these three could defeat him so quickly.

While contemplating, the bodyguard instinctively glanced up at Ye Tianfan.

No, his strength surpasses theirs!

If he were facing those three, even if he couldn’t win, he could at least protect himself, ensuring a chance to escape. But in the instant he fought Ye Tianfan, he was entirely suppressed, having no option but to accept his fate, without any means of escape!

“Well? Still not leaving? Or do you want me to invite you for a meal?” Ye Tianfan raised his eyebrows, giving the bodyguard a glance.

The bodyguard suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning, quickly helping Li Zexi up from the ground, turning to leave the noodle shop.

By now, Li Zexi, in a semi-conscious state, had a cheek swollen high, mumbled indistinctly as the bodyguard helped him into the car, “This isn’t over! I…”

Before he finished speaking, the bodyguard quickly shut the car door, as if fearing Ye Tianfan might hear, and hurriedly drove away from the noodle shop.

Watching Li Zexi’s car disappear, Ye Tianfan slowly turned around, giving Su Yueyi a gentle look.

At that moment, Su Yueyi was already in tears, her face streaked with drops of rain, her tear-filled eyes expressing such a depth of sorrow that it tugged at the heart. A confrontation happened in the quiet noodle shop, in front of the person she liked most, receiving a proposal from another, and hearing such words, what would Ye Tianfan think? How would he view her?

“Brother Tianfan, do you think I’m just a greedy woman? Do you think I’m really frivolous?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yueyi couldn’t hold back anymore, and tears gushed like a flood bursting through a dam, choking as she said, “I’ve never seen my father since I was born, my mother single-handedly raised me with great hardship, but recently my mother fell seriously ill and was hospitalized, urgently needing money. The gifts that Li Zexi gave me, I sold them all without keeping anything! I had no choice!”

Crying, Su Yueyi crouched to the ground in grievance, sobbing uncontrollably, continuously repeating, “I had no choice! I had no choice…”

Ye Tianfan held a significant place in Su Yueyi’s heart, but she lacked Qin Ruomeng’s beauty, had no prestigious background, only those deep-seated feelings for Ye Tianfan. Now that this has happened, Ye Tianfan likely feels annoyed with her, viewing her as a gold-digger.

Su Yueyi reproached herself internally, driving her to tears in her already low self-esteem, as she crouched on the ground, hugging her knees, letting the tears and snot fall as if she were a lost child, her pitiful appearance silently aching anyone who laid eyes on her.

“Sigh…”

Ye Tianfan sighed helplessly, lifting Su Yueyi from the ground and said, “Every family has its own troubles.”

Upon finishing, Ye Tianfan shook his head lightly, and Su Yueyi raised her head, tears shining on her cheeks, biting her finger, endeavoring to control her sobs, yet still managed to choke out, “Brother Tianfan, my mother has been discharged now, and I’ll repay the money slowly, and I won’t have any dealings with Li Zexi anymore.”

Ye Tianfan nodded, looking at Su Yueyi, and said, “I believe you, it’s late, you should tidy up and close; I have something to do today, so I can’t walk you back to the school.”

After saying that, Ye Tianfan walked out of the noodle shop.

Watching Ye Tianfan’s figure, Su Yueyi’s tears burst forth again, finally breaking into a wail. Normally, after finishing his noodles, Ye Tianfan would take her back to the school dormitory, but this time he left alone.

Su Yueyi didn’t know if Ye Tianfan was truly busy or if he was starting to resent her, feeling as if a sharp thorn pierced deep into her heart, this was the true agony at the heart.

Just as Ye Tianfan turned to leave the noodle shop, a shadow emerged from the dark corner, watching Ye Tianfan’s retreating figure with a thoughtful expression!

In the next moment, the man retrieved a phone from his body and dialed a number!

“Miss Long, Ye Tianfan has made a move, perhaps you’re right; he could actually be from that family!”

“Made a move?”

A melodious voice that sounded like heaven’s music cut through the receiver into the man’s ear.

“Yes, he made a move, he instantly defeated Li Zexi’s bodyguard!” the man said heavily, “Miss, what should I do next?”

The woman on the other end of the line fell into silence.

After a brief silence, the woman slowly said, “Come back for now!”

“And Ye Tianfan…”

“Mr. Fang from Hong Kong is coming in the next few days; after receiving Mr. Fang, we’ll decide on his matter!”
