"Ye Li, come out for a moment."

Ye Li's body trembled slightly again, mechanically removing her hand that was covering her face, biting her lip as she turned her head and met Li Nan's gaze.

However, before she could speak, Chu Ge leisurely began, "If you have something to say to her, say it here."

At the same time, Chu Ge glanced at Li Nan, and his main impression of her was that she had a sexy figure with very long legs, seemingly able to compete with the female cop Mu Lingshan.

Also, she exuded an air of arrogance from head to toe, her slightly upturned chin suggesting she looked down on everyone.

Li Nan squinted her eyes and, meeting Chu Ge's gaze, said, "Did I speak to you? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Chu Ge chuckled.

If a fierce man had said this, it might have had some provocative effect on Chu Ge, but being pointed at and told this by such a girl was only amusing to him.

Seeing that Chu Ge was neither angry nor tense, but rather amused, Li Nan felt greatly humiliated, picked up a plastic stool on the spot, and flung it towards Chu Ge.

"Laugh all you want, bastard!"

Though Chu Ge did not expect this girl dressed like a troublemaker to attack so suddenly, the plastic stool posed no threat to him at all.

Chu Ge merely raised his left hand slightly, grabbing the stool leg and placing it aside, shaking his head speechlessly, he said, "Now, can we talk properly?"

While grabbing a stool might have been trivial in Chu Ge's view, this scene left Li Nan stunned. She immediately turned her gaze to Ye Li and scoffed coldly, "Ye Li, quite impressive, huh? Not only daring to seduce my man but also learning to have someone defend you, right?"

In this crowd, especially in front of Chu Ge, being so slandered by Li Nan distressed Ye Li immediately. She shook her head fiercely, "I didn't, he's the one who keeps pestering me."

Li Nan raised her chin, full of anger, and cursed while pointing at Ye Li's nose, "You shameless bitch, unless you seduced him first, would he keep giving you things? Don't think I don't know about your tricks. Playing weak, playing innocent, playing pitiful, to tempt him and get more benefits from him?"

Lin Ling, who was the girl admiring herself in the Maserati window earlier, chimed in, "Sister Nan, she's an expert at this. Seems pure, but she's nothing good. Previously she never came back to the dorm all night, once I even saw her coming out of an Audi A8."

Hearing such vicious words, Ye Li's face turned grim, but Chu Ge felt a real surge of anger and some guilt.

After all, whether it was that night Ye Li didn't return, or her later emerging from the Audi A8, both had connections to him.

Li Nan squinted her eyes, spat out the cigarette in her mouth, and said, "Bitch, drop that poor little act, don't pull that shit with me, if you still want any dignity, get out here so we can settle this."

Lin Ling sneered and said, "Sister Nan, do you think she still has any dignity? Since she's so ungrateful, let's handle this right here."

Saying this, the two approached Ye Li, clearly intending to start a fight.

At this moment, the restaurant owner, a very thin, decent-looking middle-aged man, stood between them, speaking hesitantly, "Li Nan girl, please talk this over nicely, see..."

"None of your damn business! Get lost!"

Li Nan glared and swung a stool toward the restaurant owner's head.

With a "thud," the stool hit the restaurant owner squarely on the head, the sharp edge cutting his forehead and blood flowed immediately.

Seeing blood in the scene shocked not only the students dining there, but even the few middle-aged people were startled. The timid ones hurried far away from Li Nan, while the bolder ones who wanted to watch the drama dared not make a sound.

Hit so suddenly, the restaurant owner felt dizzy, lamenting internally about what he had done to deserve this.

He was just a small restaurant owner with no money, no background, and even if he took this blow, he had to endure it without retaliation, or else provoking this Plague God of a girl, he'd have to close down his little place.

After all, Li Nan was indeed notorious in this area. Despite being a girl, she often fought when she studied at Lidu University, ruthlessly using her thin, high-heeled shoes to stamp on people. Later expelled, she hung around with a powerful criminal thug, becoming even more brazen and domineering.

Watching the restaurant owner holding his forehead retreating to the side, Chu Ge frowned even tighter, feeling that these two girls were truly too arrogant, and wondered how much grievance Ye Li had suffered at their hands.

Chu Ge looked coldly at Li Nan and Lin Ling, "You two, stop while you're ahead, or else I can't guarantee I'll still see you as women."

Hearing Chu Ge's obviously angry voice and feeling the coldness in his gaze, Lin Ling, who was still in school, hesitated slightly. After all, this was an adult man, and despite Li Nan being by her side, she still felt somewhat guilty.

Li Nan, however, showed no signs of backing down. A disdainful smirk appeared on her lips as she lazily lit another cigarette, took a deep drag with a "hiss," and then blew the smoke in Chu Ge's face.

"Think you're badass? Playing the hero saving the damsel? Damn! You'd better take a good look at yourself in the mirror! If you know what's good for you, you'd better get lost and stop babbling at me."

Seeing Li Nan's ridiculously arrogant demeanor, Chu Ge was both amused and angry. What's the phrase 'not knowing how high the sky is'? This was clearly it.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Li suddenly stood up, "Li Nan, I'll go out with you guys. Whatever it is, the three of us can handle it. This has nothing to do with him."

Looking at Ye Li, who was biting her lip, her body slightly trembling, but her gaze extremely resolute, Li Nan snorted through her nose in disdain, "Oh, got some backbone, huh?"

Lin Ling chimed in mockingly, "Backbone? Sister Nan, you're giving this bitch too much credit. Playing innocent and pitiful, isn't that her specialty? How it stirs up a protective urge in people! The guy next to her, if he had any sense, how could he let her go out with us?"

Hearing Lin Ling's mocking voice, Chu Ge felt increasingly disgusted inside. He grabbed Ye Li's hand, stopping her, and put on his signature smile, though there was a wicked hint to it this time.

"Consider it rare wisdom from your mouth, but as long as I'm here, you really won't touch a hair on her head."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Lin Ling's face suddenly turned extremely unpleasant. This was clearly calling her a dog.

Chu Ge continued nonchalantly, "Also, I don't want to bully you two little girls. If you have someone to rely on, call them here, and then we can continue the conversation."

In Chu Ge's mind, the reason this girl named Li Nan was acting so recklessly had to be because she had someone significant backing her. Otherwise, no matter how tough a girl is, she shouldn't be this arrogant.

He's seen women who can fight, but this Li Nan in front of him certainly doesn't belong to that category.

Since he's here today, he might as well completely settle this matter. As for who Li Nan can call, he really didn't care; it wasn't his problem.

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Ye Li felt both touched and anxious. She tugged hard at the hand Chu Ge was holding, desperately shaking her head.

"Brother Chu, no, really no, you should let me go with them! I'm really fine; they won't do anything to me."

Chu Ge gave a slight smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, gently squeezed Ye Li's small hand, and gave her a reassuring look.

Li Nan glanced at Chu Ge, then at Ye Li, and suddenly said to Lin Ling in a mocking tone, "You were right; this bitch is quite good at playing pitiful! If I were a man, I'd definitely lose my head and forget everything."

Lin Ling smiled gleefully, "Sister Nan, since he's asking for it, you don't need to pamper his bad habits. Let him see what a Taekwondo red belt is about, let him know if you don't seek death, you won't die."

Li Nan hooked the corner of her mouth, squinted at Chu Ge, and said, "You're really not going to roll out?"

Chu Ge didn't even glance at Li Nan. He pulled Ye Li, who was still trying to struggle, back to her seat and served her a piece of sweet and sour pork, as if Li Nan and Lin Ling didn't even exist, gently saying, "I haven't seen you in a while, and you've lost weight; eat while it's hot. I'm here, so you don't need to pay attention to any barking cats and dogs."

A Taekwondo red belt might scare ordinary people, but even facing a ninth-degree black belt Taekwondo expert wouldn't faze Chu Ge, so why would he care about a mere red belt?

Although Chu Ge's look and tone seemed to have some magical power, slightly easing Ye Li's tension, she had no appetite. Biting her lip, she felt extremely guilty.

If only she had been more resolute from the start, if only she hadn't clung to some wishful thinking, Chu Ge wouldn't have been dragged into this huge mess that had nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, Chu Ge wouldn't let her go, and now it was too late for anything.

At that moment, Li Nan suddenly took a step forward, pivoted on her left foot, twisted her waist violently, and lifted her right leg. With a "whoosh" sound, a swift and fierce backward spin kick aimed straight at Chu Ge's head.

This kick was really fast and vicious, without any warning, and the sharp metal heel shimmered with a cold light.

Seeing that the sharp heel was getting closer to the back of Chu Ge's head, Ye Li screamed in fright, not expecting Li Nan to attack so suddenly, and for the kick to be so ruthless!
