After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

Seeing Gu Xiaomeng's appearance, Lin Li's anger had long since dissipated.

Although he never loved Gu Xiaomeng, this girl remembered him for so many years because of his small act of kindness, and even in her most desperate moments, she might still be thinking of him.

This sentiment is too heavy.

Lin Li took out his phone and handed it to Gu Xiaomeng: "Xiaomeng, I don't know about what happened before, so I couldn't help you, but I'm back now."

"No matter what happens in the future, you can come to me."

Gu Xiaomeng looked at the phone handed to her, hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. She entered a number on the screen and dialed her own number.

After exchanging contact information, Lin Li looked at Zhou Juan again.

Zhou Juan had completely calmed down. Looking at the finger marks on Lin Li's face, her face felt hot.

"I'm sorry."

She lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I was too impulsive just now. I acted without understanding the situation... If you're angry, hit me back."

"never mind."

Lin Li sighed silently, too lazy to argue anymore. "You did it because of Xiao Meng, I don't blame you."

Remembering what Zhou Juan had just said, he still asked, "Is anyone still bothering Xiaomeng?"

Gu Xiaomeng's uncle and the chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation probably won't let her off so easily.

"...There are indeed people still bothering Xiaomeng."

Zhou Juan's face turned somewhat grim. She glanced at Gu Xiaomeng and said, "There's a bully who's been harassing us for over half a year."

Lin Li's eyes turned cold: "Explain clearly, what happened?"

"That bully's name is Zhang Yousan, and everyone in this area calls him Third Brother."

Zhou Juan sighed, "About half a year ago, someone brought us a dog with late-stage parvovirus. When the dog arrived at the store, it was already dying."

"Xiao Meng is soft-hearted. Although she knew it was hopeless, she still wanted to try. As a result, the dog died the next day, and that Third Brother came with his men."

"He insists that we killed the dog and is demanding 200,000 yuan in compensation! Where would we get that much money? This shop is rented, and the business is barely enough to make ends meet."

Zhou Juan bit her lip, her eyes reddening again: "Later, when he saw that we couldn't come up with the money, he said... he said that as long as we transferred the shop to him, or... or let Xiaomeng stay with him for a month, this debt would be settled."

"Of course we refused, so he sent people to cause trouble every now and then."

"Splashing paint, throwing dead rats, intimidating customers... That old dog Li just now, he's with Third Brother, he deliberately brought that dog to scare us."

There are so many bad people in this world, yet they insist on bullying her and Xiaomeng!

Lin Li's eyes turned cold; it was that same underhanded tactic again.

Boom boom boom—

Just then, a piercing roar of a motorcycle suddenly rang out at the store entrance.

Seven or eight modified motorcycles sped onto the sidewalk and blocked the entrance to the pet hospital.

"They're here again!"

Zhou Juan subconsciously took a step back and tightly gripped Gu Xiaomeng's arm.

Gu Xiaomeng trembled and immediately looked at Lin Li, gesturing frantically with her hands: "You go quickly! Go through the back door! These people are unreasonable, you'll get hurt!"

Lin Li stood still, but instead reached out and took her cold, trembling hand, saying calmly, "Stay here and relax. No one will be able to bully you anymore."

Gu Xiaomeng was stunned. Feeling the warmth from her hand, her previously panicked heartbeat calmed down a bit.

boom!

The glass door of the pet shop was kicked open, and a group of tattooed, burly men strode in menacingly.

The leader was a man with a mohawk, a dragon tattooed across his shoulder on his arm, and a fierce look in his eyes.

Behind this man, Li Laogou, the middle-aged man who had just been chased away, was following behind with a fawning expression.

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

As soon as the man in the mohawk entered, his gaze swept around the store before finally settling on Gu Xiaomeng and Zhou Juan.

"Little mute, what's your decision? It's been half a month already, and my patience is running out."

"Is this the Tosa dog that killed Li Laogou?"

He glanced at the fourth brother lying on the ground and sneered, "He doesn't look like much either, just a useless dog."

The fourth brother lay on the ground, letting out a low, muffled thud.

"Third Brother! It's this pretty boy!"

Old Dog Li pointed at Lin Li and shouted, "He not only hit me, but he also extorted 20,000 yuan from me! Third Brother, you have to stand up for me!"

When Third Brother saw Lin Li holding Gu Xiaomeng's hand, his face immediately darkened.

"Damn it! Where did this pretty boy come from, daring to touch the woman I've got my eye on?"

He spat, "Kid, do you fucking want to die? Get your filthy hands off me right now!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The group of thugs suddenly burst into laughter.

"This kid's pretty fair-skinned; he's probably that mute's kept boy, right?"

"Just because you own a useless dog doesn't mean you're something special. Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror!"

"Third Brother, this kid dared to extort money from Old Li just now. I think he's got a death wish!"

Lin Li gently patted Gu Xiaomeng's hand, gesturing for her to stand behind him.

"I'll give you two choices."

He looked at Zhang Yousan and said coldly, "First, before I make a move, kneel down and kowtow to these two girls to admit your mistakes, pay the previous medical expenses, and then each of you leave one finger behind and get out of here."

There was a moment of silence after those words were spoken.

Third Brother tilted his head and looked at Lin Li, then reached up and picked at his ear: "What did you say? You want us to kowtow? And leave a finger behind?"

Lin Li continued expressionlessly, "Secondly, I'll break your arms and legs, and then have you carried out."

"Hahahaha!"

Third Brother burst into laughter, pointing at Lin Li and saying to his men, "Brothers, did you hear that? This idiot said he'd break our arms and legs? Hahahaha! Is this kid out of his mind?"

"I think he's read too many novels and thinks he's some kind of war god returned!"

"This is hilarious! Nobody in this area dares to talk to Third Brother like that!"

Old Dog Li grinned maliciously, "Kid, weren't you so arrogant just now? Now that Third Brother is here, let's see how arrogant you are now! I'm going to knock your teeth out one by one!"

Gu Xiaomeng hid behind Lin Li and turned pale with fright when she saw Zhang Yousan and the others like this.

Although Zhou Juan was also scared, she still mustered up her courage and shouted, "You...you mustn't do anything reckless! This is a society governed by law!"

"A society governed by the rule of law?"

The third brother stopped laughing, his expression instantly turning ferocious. "In this area, I am the law!"

He walked up to Lin Li with an arrogant expression and jabbed Lin Li's chest repeatedly.

"Come on, try touching me! I'm standing right here today, if you don't dare to move..."
