Chapter 148: Chapter 151: Inconceivable

"This..."

Li Ziming stared at the two men who rushed in, the scolding he had prepared was forcibly swallowed back, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at the two before him. He didn’t recognize the middle-aged man, having only seen him once, only knowing that he was following the young man. But that young man, he was all too familiar with.

He was the very person he was currently on the phone with!

He was also his current partner, and more importantly, he was the one he had hired to cripple Xiao Yi!

A master with skills so extraordinary that they gave him goosebumps, a high-level expert whose abilities were ghostly and unpredictable!

"I... am injured, and I need to use this place,"

the young man said to Li Ziming, observing the shocked expression on his face before reluctantly curling his mouth into a grim smile.

As he spoke, it seemed extremely painful, the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched.

"There’s no problem with that, but... you... how did you get injured? Who hurt you like this?"

Li Ziming couldn’t believe his eyes, he exclaimed in surprise.

This young man, actually injured, it was simply too shocking for Li Ziming! In his eyes, this young man was almost an invincible existence; he had personally witnessed him punching a wall to collapse half of it, resembling those legendary martial world masters only seen in movies and novels!

"It was... that... Xiao Yi."

Upon hearing Li Ziming’s words, a vicious look of intense bitterness appeared in the young man’s eyes. Clenching his teeth, he thought, that bastard was so ruthless, almost crippling him entirely, this vendetta, he must avenge—make him suffer all the cruelest punishments in the world!

Smack!

The mobile phone in Li Ziming’s hand instantly smacked against the floor once more, his entire jaw nearly dropped, his eyes widened, full of disbelief. How could Xiao Yi possibly have hurt him?

The young man saw the doubt and thoughts in Li Ziming’s heart and with a forlorn look in his eyes, he struggled to say, "He’s very... powerful, he had always been... hiding his strength."

"Third Young Master, don’t talk too much. Rest well, and we will do our best to treat your injuries,"

the middle-aged man glanced indifferently at Li Ziming, then turned to the young man, showing a deep look of affection as he spoke to him.

"For now, don’t provoke that Xiao Yi again. Wait until... my injuries are healed!"

The young man nodded, glanced at Li Ziming, and then closed his eyes.

Li Ziming quickly nodded, his heart skipping a beat with apprehension. Even without being told, he now completely dared not provoke Xiao Yi again. Joking aside, if such a profound and inscrutable master was injured like this, what would happen if he sought trouble with him? It would be like someone with a death wish!

...

Although Xiao Yi and Fatty Tang had only ordered some cheap dishes like vegetables, Li Ling still prepared a feast for them, adding to their simple order dozens of skewers of various meats, and a big chicken wing for each.

When she brought it over, Xiao Yi hurriedly started to refuse, but Li Ling wouldn’t hear of taking it back. In the end, unable to refuse her any longer, Xiao Yi shot a stern and embarrassed glance at Fatty Tang, who seemed at a loss for words, expressing speechless frustration with the guy for overseeing the situation. He couldn’t fathom what Fatty Tang had been doing all this time there without noticing something so obvious.

"You guys try some. If it’s not grilled well, just put up with it, haha."

After Xiao Yi finally agreed to keep the food, a smile finally spread across Li Ling’s face. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she said to them,

"Why don’t you, Classmate Li, sit down and eat with us too? It’s not every day we classmates get together, so let’s treat it like a day off."

Xiao Yi said with a smile, inviting her.

"Yeah, Li Ling, take a break today, will you?"

Fatty Tang had just offered to help and, unsurprisingly, was turned down by Li Ling. Without her guidance, he had no idea what to do, so he had just been watching Li Ling bustling about, already feeling terribly sorry for her. When he heard Xiao Yi’s words, he quickly followed up.

Upon hearing their persuasion, Li Ling was tempted. Today, she had recouped the losses from the bullies who ate for free over the past two days and even earned some extra, with her income exceeding even her busiest days. Moreover, they had just saved her, and she wanted to thank them properly, but just then, some customers arrived, calling out for grilled items. She had to apologize to them with a hint of regret, "I’m really sorry, but I have customers. I’ll come over after I’ve taken care of them."

With that, she hurried off to busily tend to her stall once more.

"Li Ling is really working too hard."

Fatty Tang said, his eyes full of pity as he watched Li Ling quickly get busy again.

"Yeah."

Xiao Yi nodded empathetically, recalling Li Ling’s inadvertent display of a weary smile. He sighed softly. This truly was a girl who wasn’t having an easy time. At an age where her peers were enjoying the beauty of college life, she was already setting up a food stall by the street.

"Boss, I want to help her."

Fatty Tang suddenly seemed to make a significant decision, mustering a great deal of courage as he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yi earnestly.

"How do you want to help her?"

Xiao Yi, seeing Fatty Tang’s expression, felt a jolt in his heart, realizing that Fatty Tang had deep feelings for her.

"I..."

At Xiao Yi’s question, Fatty Tang was suddenly at a loss. He had the strong desire to help her, but he abruptly found himself unsure of what exactly to do or how to help her. The look on his face became dejected.

"Fatty Tang, I understand how you feel, but don’t rush it. You eat food one bite at a time, and you walk a road one step at a time. For now, talk to her more, learn more about various aspects of her life, and see if you truly like her. If you do, try harder, give it some gas, at least become good friends with her first before talking about helping. That way, it’s more appropriate. Also, the more you understand, the clearer it will be what she needs and what you can do to help her."

Xiao Yi softly comforted the somewhat discouraged Fatty Tang. After finishing, seeing that Fatty Tang’s expression had relaxed, he smiled, casting an encouraging glance at him, "Go for it, this girl is pretty great, and so is your taste. If you need my help with anything, just let me know, and I’ll do my best to help you!"
