"No!"
Facing Brother Ma's relentless questioning, Zhou Yi remained absolutely certain.
Brother Ma immediately flared up.
After asking for so long without getting any information, this impure wave was a waste of time.
He realized it now.
This old man was just making fun of them!
He had been running this street for so many years, and no one had ever dared to treat him with such disrespect!
Today, he had to teach this old man a lesson!
"Old Man Bi Deng!"
Brother Ma cursed loudly, then directly grabbed Zhou Yi by the collar.
"Are you intentionally making a fool of us?"
"Let me tell you, I'm the boss of this street. Many people have to offer me cigarettes as tribute when they see me. Are you tired of living?"
"Take this opportunity to tell me the truth. Have any young, beautiful women ever been to your place?"
"If you don't tell the truth, you'll end up in the hospital!"
Inside the room, Lin Wanru's heart also sank.
Oh no, this old man is going to get beaten!
Although this old man is extremely annoying, and even...
But firstly, that incident can't be entirely his fault.
Secondly, he was also caught in the crossfire because of her.
This over 80-year-old man being suddenly beaten, even if he goes to the hospital, he won't live for more than a few days!
Not to mention, after this old man is beaten...
No one will stop those people outside.
They might even storm in and search the room!
"What should we do this time?"
Just as Lin Wanru was about to leave, she heard something unusual happening outside.
Zhou Yi clutched his chest in agony, repeatedly shouting, "Ow! My chest hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
It must be said that Zhou Yi had a bit of acting talent.
After all, he had lived for so many years.
Although he hadn't actually done it himself, he had seen it before.
He knew how to act.
In the eyes of Ma Ge and his gang of thugs, Zhou Yi's performance was incredibly realistic.
It was as if he was about to die.
Not to mention the ordinary thugs, even Ma Ge was a little scared.
Damn it!
Could this old man really be dead at my hands?
That would be a big deal!
He hastily let go, only to see Chu Yi collapse to the ground, convulsing occasionally and foaming at the mouth.
That was terrifying.
The thugs beside him panicked: "Brother Ma, what should we do?"
Brother Ma gritted his teeth: "What else can we do? Retreat first!"
"Don't let this old man get away with this! Even with someone protecting us, it'll be a real nuisance! Go, go, go!"
"Hey! Brother Ma, don't go that way, there are cameras over there!"
"That's right, that's right, I'm already crazy because of this old man, let's go this way!"
Then, they all disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Leaving only Chu Yi lying on the ground.
Sensing the thugs were about to leave, Lin Wanru immediately rushed out and supported Chu Yi.
"Old man! How are you!"
No matter how much she shook him, Chu Yi remained unresponsive.
This worried Lin Wanru.
Although she truly hated this old geezer,
but...
...was it really necessary for him to suddenly die?
At this moment, Chu Yi slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Chu Yi awake, Lin Wanru was both excited and somewhat flustered.
"Old man, you... Are you alright?"
Chu Yi looked very weak, but still managed to speak.
"Miss, I know I'm at fault."
"I'm almost at my limit now, you should just ignore me and escape."
"Yes, before I die, I have a wish from beginning to end: to ask for your forgiveness for what just happened. I have wronged you..."
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, their words are kind.
Seeing Zhou Yi in this state, Lin Wanru immediately felt compassion.
However, she still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.
Seeing Lin Wanru hesitate,
Zhou Yi sighed: "Okay, young lady, I won't force you to forgive me."
"Just let me leave this world with this guilt..."
"No!" Lin Wanru immediately cried out.
She gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"I, I forgive you, old man, I forgive you..."
"You... just go in peace..."
Just as Lin Wanru closed her eyes, about to cry,
she suddenly heard a loud laugh.
"Ha! That's what you said!"
Lin Wanru's eyes widened.
She saw Chu Yi leap from the ground like a carp, directly turning around and rising.
Looking at his smug expression, where was the faint, dying look from just moments ago?
"You... this?"
Lin Wanru was completely stunned.
After a long while, she finally reacted.
He was using the opportunity to feign death to gain her sympathy!
This old geezer is too devious!
"I..." Lin Wanru held back her anger for a long time before finally managing to swear.
But before she could get angry,
Chu Yi, emboldened, began to press on.
"Oh dear, young lady, since you've forgiven me, then I owe you a debt, let's just forget about it!"
"So, next, you should tell me what you've wronged me with!"
Lin Wanru's eyes widened.
What nonsense!
I've wronged you?
Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly: "Your coercive behavior has caused immeasurable harm to me, an old man."
"Not only has it depleted my mental and physical energy, but it has also caused me, who has preserved my virginity for over 80 years, to lose the most precious thing."
"Tell me, shouldn't you compensate me?"
Lin Wanru laughed angrily: "Oh, then tell me how I should compensate you?"
Zhou Yi pressed on.
"It's nothing, just a little compensation for mental distress and nutritional expenses."
"I don't need much, just pay whatever you like!"
Lin Wanru was so furious she couldn't control herself. She impulsively started grabbing Chu Yi's side, squeezing his flesh.
"You old geezer! I'll let you talk nonsense!"
"I'll let you get away with it!"
"I'll let you be shameless!"
Chu Yi was being squeezed so hard he almost threw himself into the room.
"Hey! A gentleman uses words, not fists. If you want to use your fists again, I'll use my words!"
Words?
Looking at Chu Yi's intentions, Lin Wanru was startled.
She immediately thought of all the images of the two of them before, and instantly felt both embarrassed and ashamed, her face turning bright red.
"You... you shameless old scoundrel..."
Just then, the door was knocked again.
This time, the knocking was even more urgent than before.
Just then, Ma Ge shouted from outside the door: "Old man, open the door quickly! We need to see what's going on!"
"That little girl is at your house! Open the door!"
"If you don't open the door, we'll have to kick it down!"
Chu Yi's door was thin and flimsy, and after just a few forceful knocks, it was already shaking.
It was as if the other party could burst in at any moment.
This time, however, it frightened Lin Wanru: "They're back again!"
Just as she was panicking, she saw Chu Yi calmly say: "Don't panic, I'm here!"
"You?" Lin Wanru clearly didn't believe him.
"Ah!" Chu Yi's tone was matter-of-fact.
"Don't look at me being seventy or eighty years old, my body is no different from that of young people in recent years!" "And to be honest with you, I am a master of the Primordial Chaos Form and Intent Thunder Tai Chi Quan, a truly formidable skill!"
"Don't worry!"
"Hun Yuan Xing Yi Pi Li Tai Chi Quan?" Lin Wanru was even more bewildered.
This sounds...
It's like some master who got knocked out with one punch?
Could this old man be surnamed Ma?
Before Lin Wanru could say anything more, Zhou Yi had already gone to open the door.
Lin Wanru hurriedly grabbed a pair of scissors.
If this old man couldn't stop those thugs, she could at least use these scissors for self-defense.
Of course, judging by the situation, he probably couldn't stop them.
After all, Zhou Yi was over 80.
How strong could an old man over 80 fight?
To be able to withstand a punch without falling was already considered tough.
Not to mention there were several of them.
As for herself?
Lin Wanru also knew that she was just... Holding scissors doesn't offer much fighting power; I guess I'll probably still end up being...
"What should we do now? What should we do this time?" Lin Wanru's heart was burning with anxiety.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi had opened the door.
