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

"Lin Li, is this your reason for rejecting Yao Jia?"

Dugu Yan glanced at the women in the living room, her gaze scrutinizing and critical: "They're just a group of ordinary women; they'll only become stumbling blocks on your path of cultivation."

"I am Lin Li's teacher's wife."

She looked at the women and said domineeringly, "For the sake of his future, from today onwards, you must leave him. Only Yao Jia can be by Lin Li's side."

Dugu Yan didn't want to see Lin Li follow in that old man's footsteps and be burdened by his love for his children!

The living room was silent, and Su Qian and the others looked at Lin Li with some confusion.

"ha!"

Lin Li laughed in anger, releasing his grip on Lei Xiangqing and walking step by step to Dugu Yan: "Master's wife? Who do you think you are?"

Even if there were hidden circumstances surrounding what happened back then, the bottom line is, you abandoned my master!

"Now you want to act all high and mighty with me, acting like I'm your master's wife?! What gives you the right?!"

"you……"

Dugu Yan's expression changed; she had been hit where it hurt.

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

Lin Li had no intention of giving this old woman any more face. "I only address you as 'Master's Wife' out of respect for my master."

"But if you dare touch my woman, don't even mention my master's wife, even if my master himself comes, I'll beat him without hesitation!"

"Good! Well said, 'Fine, we'll fight anyway!'"

Dugu Yan laughed in anger, thinking that her good intentions had been taken for granted and that her disciple was asking for trouble.

"Since that old man failed to teach you what respect for teachers means, then today I'll teach you a lesson on his behalf!"

Before she finished speaking, she quickly approached, her delicate hand striking Lin Li's chest, a faint popping sound echoing in the air.

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Lin Li's expression turned cold, and his internal Yang Fire erupted as he unleashed a punch!

boom!

The fist and palm collided, producing a dull, loud thud.

A visible shockwave emanated from the two of them and spread outwards, instantly shattering the coffee table in the living room and causing the glass windows to crash and break into pieces on the floor!

"what!"

Su Qian and the others screamed and covered their ears.

The disciples of the Ye family were filled with shock. This... this is the duel between top experts?

Lin Li and Dugu Yan's figures moved so fast they were almost invisible.

The two moved nimbly through the cramped living room, destroying furniture and leaving deep handprints and fist marks on the walls in their wake.

Ye Yaojia's feelings became somewhat complicated.

She suddenly realized that Lin Li wasn't the kind of promiscuous scumbag.

He was genuinely in love with all the women around him, and he even dared to fight his great-grandmother to protect them!

This man...

boom!

Another loud bang.

The two combatants retreated simultaneously.

Lin Li took three steps back, each step leaving a footprint on the floor, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew increasingly fanatical, his fighting spirit soaring.

Dugu Yan took two steps back. Although she seemed to have the upper hand, she couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.

Looking at the pale golden aura emanating from Lin Li, she exclaimed, "Internal energy projected outwards, protective aura... You've actually reached the fourth level of internal energy?!"

A twenty-five-year-old with fourth-level internal strength!

What a monster!

Lin Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at Dugu Yan, and said, word by word, "Do you still want to fight? If we're going to decide who wins, then it'll have to be a fight to the death."

"You can try and see if you can kill me!"

Dugu Yan looked into Lin Li's murderous eyes and fell silent.

If she really fought desperately, she might win, but she would definitely pay a heavy price. And... could she really bring herself to kill the old man's only heir?

"……very good."

Dugu Yan looked at Lin Li, her tone tinged with helplessness: "The old man has indeed found a good disciple. Since you insist on this, I will not force you."

After saying that, she turned and left. "Yaojia, let's go."

Ye Yaojia took one last look at Lin Li, bit her lip, and left the villa with Dugu Yan.

……

For the next two days, Jiangcheng was unusually calm.

The living room furniture, shattered by Lin Li and Dugu Yan's internal energy, has been cleaned up, and new furniture is being urgently ordered.

The masked man disappeared, and Dugu Yan and Ye Yaojia vanished as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, never to be seen again.

However, Lin Li did not let his guard down and redeployed security forces.

He divided the most elite brothers in the security company into several groups, who took turns protecting Su Qian, Lin Yuehua and Fang Wanqing in secret 24 hours a day.

As for those who had just been recruited, they were all handed over to Du Yu, Gong Kun, and Ban Hong for grueling training.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Li was resting in his boss's chair when there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open, and Gu Xiaomeng, dressed in a plain white dress, entered.

"Xiao Meng? What brings you here?"

Lin Li was somewhat surprised and said softly, "Come in and sit down. What would you like to drink? Juice or milk?"

Gu Xiaomeng quickly waved her hand and walked somewhat awkwardly to the sofa to sit down.

She took out a small notebook and pen that she always carried with her, quickly wrote a line, and then handed it to Lin Li with both hands.

Lin Li, I want to rent a new shop. The previous landlord said he'd raise the rent, and besides, I don't want to stay in that place anymore.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow slightly after reading it.

Although the previous shop was in a remote location, Gu Xiaomeng and her team must have run it for a long time.

It's likely that the harassment Zhang Yousan and his gang had left the two with considerable psychological trauma, which is why they decided not to rent anymore.

"This is a good thing."

Lin Li handed the notebook back, smiling, "A change of scenery is good. Have you decided where to go?"

Gu Xiaomeng shook her head and then asked Lin Li if he had any suitable recommendations, preferably with cheaper rent.

Lin Li's heart softened. This silly girl, even though she had a million yuan given to her, was still so frugal, afraid of spending even a penny more.

"I have it right now."

He thought for a moment, "The shops on the first floor of Junlin Building facing the street are still empty, they're all yours."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaomeng quickly waved her hand.

Junlin Building is a landmark building in Jiangcheng, and the shops on the first floor are extremely valuable, with rents that must be astronomical. How could she afford to rent them!

Don't rush to refuse.

Lin Li held her hand, the warmth of his palm making Gu Xiaomeng blush. "We're old classmates and friends, it's only right that we help each other out."

"And I don't plan to pay for Lao Ba and the others when they come to your clinic in the future."

Gu Xiaomeng bit her lip, knowing that Lin Li was deliberately saying things to comfort her. She hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.

"Come on, let me show you the venue. We'll also go to the underground parking garage to pick something up; I have a gift for you."

As Lin Li spoke, he naturally took Gu Xiaomeng's wrist and led her outside.

Gu Xiaomeng followed behind him with her head down, looking at their clasped hands. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, her smile a little shy and sweet.
