Could it be...that the God heard her thoughts?

The girl lowered her eyes, not wanting to look directly into those eyes that she couldn't refuse. "Why are you here?"

"Same reason you're here."

“…I came here for a walk.”

"Maybe it's because of different customs."

Bai Li said calmly, "You don't need to jump off a building to take a walk in China. Is this a unique tradition in Japan?"

"..."

Xiangzi turned his face away and after a long moment, he whispered, "It's just my habit."

This person is really stubborn.

Holding the railing with both hands, Bai Li was silent for a while and said:

"For human beings, death is a festival that is bound to come."

"..."

"I mean."

Bai Li sighed, "Mr. Fengchuan, you really don't need to rush for success."

He raised his head and stared into the girl's evasive eyes. "Can you tell me the reason?"

Xiangzi was silent.

She didn't want to tell these dirty things to Bai Li, not only because of her self-esteem, but also because she didn't want Bai Li to have anything to do with that disgusting man.

"Forget it, just follow me first."

Seeing her like this, Bai Li was not angry.

After bringing Xiangzi home, the girl had been outside in the rain for too long and her clothes were already soaked.

After wiping her hair with a clean towel and making her a cup of hot ginger tea, Bai Li sat on the soft sofa and pondered:

"Let me guess, is it because you didn't do well on the test?"

In the warm room, holding a cup of hot ginger tea in his hand, Xiangzi seemed to have a little more vitality. He whispered back:

"I'm not that fragile..."

"I guess so."

Bai Li nodded in understanding and suddenly asked, "Is it because of your father?"

"..."

He was answered by a long silence.

But silence is a kind of answer.

Bai Li had known Xiangzi for some time. Even though he had not specifically inquired about her family background, he was able to get some information from the words of the neighbors around him.

Xiangzi is a very tough girl, and it is difficult for her to be defeated by hardships from the outside world.

Only the closest person can make her lose hope of life and leave in the most decisive way.

"So, Toyokawa-san."

Baili looked directly into the girl's amber eyes and said again, "Can you tell me the reason?"

……

A taut bow, no matter how tight it is, always has a limit.

After all, the girl named "Toyokawa Shoko" had just reached adulthood, less than two months old.

She may be strong, like a stubborn little blue hedgehog, but that is just a helpless protective color.

When the hard shell is peeled off, the girl's fragile heart is revealed.

During his four hundred years of cultivation, Baili had seen newborns before.

He had seen evil people who slaughtered entire cities for their own selfish reasons, just to condense the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner.

I have also seen the Zhongshan Wolf who repays kindness with enmity and who would not hesitate to attack his savior for the sake of an opportunity or a magic weapon.

But what Xiangdie did succeeded in making him hard.

The fist is hard.

It would be fine if he just let his daughter, who was still in school, earn money to support the family, but he actually stole her scholarship with such a conscience, even resorting to violence, just to go out drinking and playing shotgun?!

Bai Li rarely gets angry, but he is really a little angry now.

"Just get some rest, it's okay."

He carried the still sobbing girl to the soft bed, tucked her in, and turned off the lights.

"I'll be back soon."

……

"Damn it! It was just a little bit! Just a little bit!"

With his face bruised and swollen, Toyokawa Satoru fled the casino in disgrace under the thugs' contemptuous gazes. He waited until he reached a secluded alleyway and lost sight of them before cursing and fiercely kicking the trash can in front of him.

"A bunch of scum from the bottom of society, you dare to attack me? When I make a comeback, I will make you bastards kneel down and lick my shoes!"

He gritted his teeth:

"Yes, a comeback! Only 100,000 yen... No! 200,000 yen! Give me another 200,000 and I'll definitely be able to turn things around!"

Whether it was the lost seat as a councilor or the huge fortune of the Toyokawa family...

Ultimately, it’s all that damn bastard woman’s fault!

He simply took advantage of his position to accept some gifts from his subordinates, and accidentally killed a few low-level workers during a forced demolition. He lost his position as a councilor because of malicious reports.

It's obvious that these scandals can be easily suppressed by using the connections of the Toyokawa family!

But the heartless woman ignored their years of marital love and kicked him out of the house!

Fengchuan Wu looked resentful.

Sooner or later, he will get back what belongs to him!

"Let's go ask Xiangzi for some more money. After all, he's been working for a few months, so he can definitely come up with 200,000 yuan."

Fengchuan Wu calmed down and saw that the rain seemed to be getting lighter, so he prepared to rush home in one go.

"I thought you were a complete scumbag."

A leisurely sigh echoed in the dark alley. "But I didn't expect that I might have over-anthropomorphized you."

"Who's there?"

Fengchuan Wu was startled, thinking that his former enemy had come to visit him, trying to use his former enemy's skin as a banner. "I'm warning you! I'm the son-in-law of the Fengchuan family. If you dare to attack me, the Fengchuan family will not let you go!"

"Are you the son-in-law of the Toyokawa family?"

The voice in the shadows was a little puzzled, "Does the Toyokawa family know about this?"

Chapter 43 Don’t You Know You’re Wrong?

Toyokawa Satoru tried hard to see the appearance of the person who came.

But the bruised eye sockets were blurry, and only a faint outline could be seen.

It seems... to be an unfamiliar boy?

"My name is Toyokawa Satoru! I inherited the Toyokawa family name! If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Toyokawa Satoru tried to scare the newcomers away, but he lacked confidence and looked like a weakling.

Bai Li no longer wanted to waste time with this newborn.

He stepped forward step by step, his handsome features were calm, yet inexplicably unsettling.

"I'm warning you! Stay away from me!"

Toyokawa Satoru still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and wanted to threaten, but soon he let out a painful groan.

In order to avoid beating the scum into a pulp with one punch, Bai Li deliberately restrained his strength, but Fengchuan Wu, who was used to a life of luxury, had almost zero ability to withstand blows, and his hunched body curled up like a shrimp.

"Does it hurt?"

Bai Li grabbed his hair and lifted him up. His indifferent eyes made him feel even more terrified. "Wait, wait... let me go, and I'll give you money! I can give you money!"

"I'm asking you, does it hurt?" Bai Li ignored him and just repeated it calmly.

madman!

Fengchuan Wu cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to provoke him, so he could only say honestly:

“It hurts, it hurts so much!”

Another punch.

This time he was hit right on the bridge of his nose. Toyokawa Satoru's head tilted back and something hot flowed out of his nasal cavity. A kind old lady seemed to appear in front of him.

"now what?"

"It doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt at all!" He was so sad that he could not even cry, so he quickly changed his words.

"Well, you're a good man!"

Bai Li nodded in approval and delivered a vicious knee strike to his lower abdomen without mercy.

Toyokawa Satoru groaned.

His once handsome features were twisted into a ball, he was in so much pain he couldn't speak, and his stomach was churning.

But it's not over yet.

Bai Li snapped his fingers, and an invisible force rushed into the middle-aged man's limbs and bones.

This energy is not fatal, but it is like a thousand ants gnawing at your heart, making your life worse than death.

Toyokawa Satoru rolled on the ground in pain, with blue veins popping out under his skin, as if an invisible insect was crawling around. In a short while, he was sweating profusely, and his suit trousers were soaked with a yellow unknown liquid, which gave off an unpleasant smell.
