He really is never idle for a moment!

When those people's hands were about to touch the corner of her clothes, Ning Yichu suddenly took a step back and shouted sternly, "Get out of here!"

"Yo, you have a temper? Brothers, see, this is the real Pepper!"

"Haha, Little Pepper, come, have a drink with me..."

Ning Yichu's face was as cold as ice. "You were sent here by someone, right? I'm not a woman you can afford to offend. Get out now, and I can still pretend nothing happened."

The gangsters' faces changed slightly when they heard this, but when they thought of the high reward, they pretended to be stupid.

"Ordering? Haha, Little Pepper, you're not suffering from paranoia, are you? We've taken a fancy to you today, and you have to obey us whether you want to or not! Brothers, take her to the alley next door..."

Just then...

"Crunch", a sharp sound was heard as the tires rubbed against the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a cool Bugatti Veyron braked sideways on the road.

Li Lingyang's tall figure strode out of the car, his eyes as cold and sharp as ice blades fixed on the thugs causing trouble across the street, as if he were looking at a group of dead people. "Who gave you the courage to harass my woman?"

His distinguished face was as cold as ink, and he was surrounded by a murderous aura that made people unconsciously frightened. One could tell at a glance that he was a character not to be trifled with...

The gangsters looked at each other in bewilderment. They just wanted to make money and had no intention of getting into such trouble.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I'm going to get out of here..."

After saying that, the group of people left in disgrace.

Li Lingyang sneered and made a phone call.

In less than two minutes, the mall manager, along with a group of burly bodyguards, subdued the troublemakers.

The manager bowed respectfully, "Boss Li, I'm really... really sorry. If such harassment occurs within my jurisdiction, I will immediately send them to the police station for severe punishment!"

Li Lingyang narrowed his narrow eyes and remained silent.

"Miss..." The manager turned his gaze to Ning Yichu and pulled out a black card from his bag. "The lax security has caused you trouble. I've specially applied for a super VIP card for you. From now on, you can get a 30% discount on all your purchases here!"

"30% off?" Li Lingyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

The manager broke out in a cold sweat, "No... No, I said it wrong, it's 50% off!"

Ning Yichu, "..."

"Chu Chu, since customers are the most important thing in this mall, you should just accept it reluctantly." Li Lingyang opened his thin lips slightly, his casual tone revealing a bit of nonchalance.

Ning Yichu saw that the manager was very afraid of Li Lingyang, and didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he simply put the card away.

At worst, you can just come here less often and not take advantage of them.

"Get lost." Li Lingyang waved the manager away impatiently.

In an instant, Li Lingyang and Ning Yichu were the only ones left on the roadside.

Ning Yichu thought of the threats Li Jingting had made before he left, and with a slight movement in his heart, he asked casually, "Is everything alright at your company?"

"It's okay." Li Lingyang's deep eyes darkened, and his handsome face pretended to be relaxed. "It's just that there was a small problem with the project."

Ning Yichu's eyelids twitched twice.

"Did Li Jingting do it?"

Li Lingyang's jaw tightened, but he didn't deny it. "After Cheng Cheng's affair was exposed, he stopped lying dormant and wanted to seize power."

"I just met him. He brought Cheng Cheng here to buy something."

Li Lingyang pursed his thin lips and said, "No wonder a few thugs suddenly showed up. Did he do anything to you?"

"No." Ning Yichu shook his head, and thinking of his grandmother lying in the hospital bed, he couldn't help but look up and ask, "Li Jingting is too arrogant. Is there anything I can help you with?"

She now desperately wants to see Li Jingting lose everything and pay the price!

How could Li Lingyang let her take risks?

He hooked her nose lovingly and said, "If you take good care of the three children, you will be the greatest help to me. I can handle the rest."

The originally heavy atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

Ning Yichu's face felt hot, and she could even smell the faint scent of his cologne in her nostrils.

Li Lingyang looked at her shy and angry expression, his eyes full of smiles, and couldn't help but hold her hand.

"Everyone on the internet is saying that I turned into a tyrant for Ning Yichu and told you to give up the Li family's kingdom. My image has been ruined. Chuchu, you have to be responsible for me..."

Ning Yichu's eyelashes trembled, and since she couldn't break free, she simply let him go.

"Forget it, those rumors can only fool netizens!"

Li Lingyang is essentially a shrewd businessman.

How can one just give up a business empire that he has built long ago and involves the interests of many parties? That would be too naive.

"Actually, these rumors are not entirely wrong—"

Under the dim street lights, Li Lingyang's face became clearer and more noble. All the splendor outside the glass window was taken in by his eyes. His domineering and powerful expression fell on Ning Yichu's face, and there was an ambition that could not be ignored.

Ning Yichu's face flushed and his eyes flickered.

"It's already this late, and you still have the mind to talk about this."

Ning Yichu quickly changed the subject, "Li Jingting and Shen Jiangqing killed so many people in order to conceal Cheng Cheng's life experience. Just now, when Cheng Cheng saw me, she said I was the murderer who killed her mother..."

"Cheng Cheng has been taught a bad lesson. Don't take his words to heart."

"What about you?" Ning Yichu asked suddenly, as if possessed by some strange force. "Although I've told you many times before that I don't want to save her, Shen Jiangqing has been entangled with you for so many years. If she really dies... will you miss her?"
