Lin Hai hadn't reached the Maybach yet, when he saw Li Zhe with a dozen men, carrying baseball bats, arrogantly walking towards him.

"Hey, kid, come with me to the woods next door." Li Zhe, swinging the baseball bat, arrogantly said to Lin Hai.

"Woods? This area's woods are a dating paradise for couples, I'm not into that, I won't go." Lin Hai replied.

"You want to run?"

Li Zhe stepped forward, signaling his men to block Lin Hai.

Just then, Nangong Wuyue's voice rang out again.

"Li Zhe, what are you trying to do? Let Mr. Lin go."

Nangong Wuyue, with a demeanor both gentle, scholarly and spirited, hurried over.

"Damn it, why did we run into the teacher again." Li Zhe cursed as he put down the baseball bat.

"Brother Li, what should we do next?" one of the underlings asked.

"Let's get out of here fast, haven't you seen Teacher Nangong?" Li Zhe said, headache apparent.

Li Zhe and his group scattered in all directions.

Nangong Wuyue came to Lin Hai's side, looking worried and apologetic, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, Li Zhe is a bit different in temperament, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Teacher Nangong." Lin Hai smiled nonchalantly.

Nangong Wuyue nodded, worriedly saying, "Mr. Lin, you should go now, I'll take good care of Ouyang Ruoshuang."

Lin Hai smiled, "Then I'll trouble Teacher Nangong. This is my personal number, if Ruoshuang encounters any issues, please inform me immediately."

Lin Hai is now someone who has a business card, though the title on it is a bit embarrassing - Assistant Security Manager.

Nangong Wuyue didn't think much of it and kept the business card.

Lin Hai walked beside the Maybach, causing a wave of surprise in Nangong Wuyue.

When could an Assistant Security Manager afford to drive a Maybach like this?

"I am a retired soldier, also working part-time as the boss's personal bodyguard." Lin Hai, sensing Nangong Wuyue's surprise and confusion, explained.

Nangong Wuyue 'oh-ed' in understanding, "I hadn't realized, Mr. Lin, you're an elite retired soldier." After saying so, she looked at Lin Hai with admiration.

Lin Hai smiled; this was probably the first woman who didn't look down on him but rather respected him.

Since returning to Huadu, besides Su Wanjing who started to see him differently because of that day's encounter, he had always been looked down upon by women.

In the eyes of his CEO wife and Wang Dajun, he was just a completely washed-up, trashy retired soldier.

With Nangong Wuyue gone, taking care of a group of students,

Lin Hai was about to open the car door when he suddenly heard Li Zhe and his underlings.

"Brother, are we just letting that guy go?"

"Let him go this time, we'll deal with him next time, there are plenty of days ahead. Today, our main task is to figure out a way to get Ouyang Ruoshuang."

"Brother is indeed awesome; opportunities are for those who are prepared like you," one underling flattered.

Lin Hai was going to leave, but after hearing all this, he turned around and walked towards Li Zhe and his group.

"Ouch? You came back again!" Li Zhe, with a pleased expression, grabbed a baseball bat and jumped in front of Lin Hai.

Lin Hai lit a cigarette, his eyes looking straight ahead.

"Should I say you're brain-dead? Or just pretending to be tough?" Li Zhe arrogantly tapped the baseball bat and said, "What? Want to die early?"

"The woods, right?" Lin Hai asked, squinting his eyes.

"Yes, the woods. Got the guts to come?" Li Zhe said with a superior and arrogant attitude.

"Let's go!"

Lin Hai casually shrugged, saying, "Lead the way."

"Good, not afraid of death, I like people with your kind of attitude most."

Li Zhe cruelly chuckled, "For someone like you who's not afraid of death, I generally prefer to kill them. Hard bones? Later, I'll even break the cartilage under your legs."

After he finished speaking, a few followers swarmed up, surrounding Lin Hai as if afraid he'd regret and run away midway.

Lin Hai did not look at the followers, but calmly stared at Li Zhe.

For some reason, Li Zhe suddenly felt a chill rise on his back, as if being stared at by some terrifying beast.

"Damn, how did the weather get so cold?" Li Zhe shook his head, puzzled glancing at Lin Hai, who exuded a sense of decadence, looking completely unthreatening and lacking any combat capability.

Not long after Li Zhe and others left, the class president from Ouyang Xiaoya's class, sharp-eyed, caught this and stealthily ran to Nangong Wuyue's ear, beginning to exercise his special talent as class president—snitching.

"Teacher, teacher, Li Zhe just took a group of people to the woods. They were all carrying baseball bats, and a few of them even had tattoos," the class president finished, seemingly having completed a sacred mission.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wuyue's face changed dramatically, she hurriedly instructed the class president to take care of the students and rushed towards the woods.

This place was a suburb, also frequently used by the school to organize student camping trips.

However, usually, it was also a sacred place in Huadu City.

What kind of sacred place?

Naturally, it was a battlefield for skirmishes.

This small forest, located in a remote area, was usually deserted and overgrown, but at night it became lively, as this place provided the perfect cover, offering convenient geographical and environmental conditions for skirmishes.

Now it was daytime, there was no one doing battle in the woods.

"Right here."

Li Zhe stopped, turned around, and with a fierce smile stared at Lin Hai, saying, "Just stand here, don't move, and don't think about running away."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal. A few followers, with their cruel smiles, clapping their baseball bats, menacingly surrounded Lin Hai.

Li Zhe staggered forward, arrogantly pointing at Lin Hai's nose, "Ouyang Ruoshuang is my woman; no one else should even think about touching her. Today, not only will I teach you a lesson, I will also tell everyone that besides me, no one can take her away."

Lin Hai sneered, "You say she's yours, so she's yours? I also say that the two top beauties of Huadu, Ouyang Xiaoya and Su Wanjing are my women!"

Li Zhe was stunned, then angrily said, "Still resisting? Fine, I'll give you two choices, first, kneel down and apologize, hand over Ouyang Ruoshuang to me willingly; second, we resolve this by force, you can choose to face our group alone, or we can all gang up on you, your choice!"

"And let me tell you, not just Ouyang Ruoshuang, when there's a chance, I'll make that passionate teacher Nangong Wuyue my woman too. People like you, doomed to die alone, huh."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, he had a composed look of having everything under control, as if he had already mastered everything.

"Heh, you're naive and stupid." Lin Hai said, smiling at Li Zhe.

Li Zhe flew into a rage, cursing loudly, "Alright, you've got guts. Today I'll make you extinct. You guys, what are you dawdling for? Get him, beat him till he's dead, then make him kneel and sing 'Conquer'!"
