Then he caught the throwing knives one by one with the door panel!

Seeing that her two moves had missed, the woman in red's face immediately turned angry, and she shouted, "Li Xiaohu!"

"You actually dare to block me?!"

Li Xiaohu removed the door panel, cautiously poked his head out, gave an embarrassed smile, and replied:

"If I didn't stop this kid, wouldn't I be dead by now?"

The woman in red frowned and cursed, "I'm going to kill you!"

After saying that, he rushed into the room, his long legs straddling the table, and delivered a powerful kick to Li Xiaohu!

Li Xiaohu reacted quickly, grabbing the long leg that was attacking him with his hand.

The woman shouted angrily, "Let go!"

Li Xiaohu shook his head and said in a humble and apologetic tone, "Miss Hong."

"Let's talk this out calmly, instead of resorting to physical violence the moment we meet."

Upon hearing this, the woman called Red Girl became even more agitated and retorted, "You bastard, how dare you say such a thing?"

"You abandoned me without a word back then, did you ever give me a chance to talk things out properly?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the foot that Li Xiaohu was holding suddenly trembled, and a sharp knife burst out from the sole of the shoe, stabbing towards Li Xiaohu!

Li Xiaohu reluctantly released Hong Gu's ankle.

The latter, however, was relentless and pressed his advantage, even taking out a dagger and aiming straight for Li Xiaohu's vital points!

Yin Xinyue, standing in the corner, was completely dumbfounded.

What exactly happened?

Didn't Li Xiaohu say he was looking for an old friend?

Why did they start fighting like sworn enemies right from the beginning?

What puzzled her even more was...

Li Xiaohu dodged the entire time and didn't retaliate even once.

Even his four cats were quietly staying in the corner of the room, watching the two fight silently.

Yin Xinyue snapped out of her daze and quickly spoke up to stop them, shouting, "Stop it, all of you!"

Hearing this, Hong Guniang stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at Yin Xinyue, and her anger only intensified, while her movements became even more fierce!

Li Xiaohu frowned, dodging as he warned, "Hong Gu, if you keep this up, I won't be so polite!"

Red Girl spat disdainfully: "Pah!"

Li Xiaohu knew that things couldn't continue like this, and his expression suddenly turned serious!

He reached out and took the initiative, accurately grabbing both of Hong Gu's wrists.

Then, using the bed board as a springboard, he used his scorpion-like movement to climb over and land behind Red Girl, embracing her from behind and locking her firmly in his arms.

Before the girl in red could react, she was suddenly unable to move. Both ashamed and angry, she cried out, "Let me go!"

Li Xiaohu ignored her and retorted, "Then if I let you go, can you speak properly?"

With her last shred of stubbornness, the girl replied, "Release me first."

Li Xiaohu sighed and slowly released her.

Who knows.

As soon as Hong Guniang was released, she turned around and slapped Li Xiaohu across the face!

"Snapped!"

The applause was extremely crisp and clear!

But Hong Gu's face showed a hint of surprise, and she asked in astonishment, "You, why didn't you dodge?"

Li Xiaohu turned his head away without answering.

The room fell silent instantly.

Yin Xinyue couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to question, "Who are you?"

"Why did you start hitting people right away?"

Hong Guniang then took a good look at Yin Xinyue. She was beautiful, had a perfect figure, and her skin was soft and delicate. She looked every bit the part of a well-bred young lady.

A sudden surge of jealousy welled up inside her. She turned to Li Xiaohu and said sarcastically, "So, you dumped me back then just for a girl like this?"

Feeling offended, Yin Xinyue retorted angrily, "Who are you talking about?"

The two were about to start arguing.

Li Xiaohu suddenly shouted, "That's enough!"

The two women fell silent instantly, but the way they looked at each other was not very friendly.

Li Xiaohu tidied up the table and chairs and sat down, instructing, "Sit down and we'll talk about everything."

Red Girl straddled the chair with a carefree attitude.

Yin Xinyue sat gracefully on the other side.

Seeing that the two of them had sat down quietly.

After letting out a long sigh, Li Xiaohu slowly said, "Hong Gu, there really was a reason why I left you back then."

I want to continue explaining.

Red Girl waved her hand dismissively, saying with an indifferent expression, "Alright!"

"Now that things have turned out this way, I don't want to hear anything you say!"

He then chuckled and teased, "Do you know you're quite the big shot in the underworld now?"

"I never expected you would dare to cause trouble at the Crescent Moon Hotel in Beiping all by yourself, and even kidnap their young lady?"

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Yin Xinyue.

"Could this be the young lady?"

Yin Xinyue frowned slightly, about to explain, but Hong Gu didn't give her the chance and continued speaking to Li Xiaohu:

"You kidnapped someone's precious daughter, and the bounty offered by the Crescent Hotel has been raised to twenty million!"

"Right now, all the bandits with their names in the six southern provinces, seven northern provinces, and thirteen provinces are looking for you!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"

Li Xiaohu smiled upon hearing this and said, "I know you won't."

The young woman snorted coldly and retorted, "That's a full twenty million silver dollars, how do you know I can't?"

Yin Xinyue sensed that there seemed to be a story between the two, so she asked curiously, "You rascal, who exactly is she?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaohu's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, and he murmured, "How should I put it...?"

"A woman with whom I had a past?"

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Hong slammed her hand on the table and angrily shouted, "Li Xiaohu!"

"You slept with me back then, and you were just a confidante?"

Li Xiaohu suddenly felt aggrieved and said, "You were the one who forced me to get drunk. I was so drunk, how would I know what happened?"

"Hmph!" The girl in red suddenly blushed, crossed her arms, turned her head away, and said, "Anyway, I don't care!"

"You slept with me, so you have to take responsibility for me!"

Yin Xinyue roughly understood the story between the two, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

He interrupted the two of them directly, changing the subject, "Alright!"

"What nonsense!"

Turning to look at Li Xiaohu, he shouted, "You scoundrel!"

"Didn't you say you needed her to do something? Now that she's here, why don't you just get to the point!"

Chapter Twenty-Five - You actually slept with someone else?! (Please give flowers and reviews~)

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaohu immediately sat up straight and said, "Hong Gu."

"I've come to you today because I want to ask you for a favor."

Red Girl looked at Li Xiaohu with a hint of surprise.

A sudden doubt arose in my mind.

How could a playboy like Li Xiaohu listen to a woman?
