The people around fell silent instantly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Nian's gaze slowly fell on the man in front of her, whom she hadn't paid much attention to earlier.

Although the man had an ordinary appearance, he was tall with long legs and an excellent body proportion. His strong and powerful muscles were faintly visible under his floral shirt, making him look like a cheetah lurking in the dark, exuding a dangerous aura.

However, before Qin Nian could take another look, Qin Huai suddenly yelled, interrupting her thoughts.

Without thinking twice, Qin Nian gritted her teeth and immediately agreed, "Okay, I promise you!"

Without turning his head, the man gave the order, "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear Miss Qin? Give him a good beating!"

His men immediately stepped forward and pulled Qin Huai and Lin Yang apart.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang let out a painful groan, "Ah—"

Qin Nian turned her head and saw that Lin Yang was surrounded by several people. Each person punched and kicked him, and he was completely unable to resist. He could only protect his head and curl up to be beaten passively.

Qin Nian watched Lin Yang get beaten so badly, and a strange, indescribable pleasure welled up inside her.

Ever since Lin Yang's disgraceful scandals were made public, the resentment that had been building up in her heart seemed to have found an outlet and was able to be released to its fullest extent.

At this moment, even the strands of Qin Nian's hair exuded a hint of pleasure. She stared at Lin Yang with resentment, thinking: Lin Yang, when you wronged me back then, did you ever think about this day?

Lin Yang's actions have caused her to lose face and make a complete fool of herself in the socialite circle!

Doesn't she want to get revenge?

How could that be!

It was just that the initial blow was too great for her. Afterwards, she had people look for Lin Yang, but they couldn't find him. She guessed he was hiding from those debt collectors. She didn't expect to run into him today.

She had really wanted to get revenge, but she knew her brother was no match for Lin Yang. As she expected, even though her brother had the upper hand, he was still beaten to the ground by Lin Yang.

Qin Nian turned her head sharply, her gaze falling on Qin Huai. Seeing his face covered in bruises and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, she couldn't help but scream, "Brother!"

Qin Huai waved at her nonchalantly and comforted her, "I'm fine, I just look a bit miserable."

Qin Nian quickly took out a tissue and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of Qin Huai's mouth.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, he didn't control his strength well and accidentally touched the wound, causing Qin Huai to wince and groan in pain: "Hiss—"

Just then, Lin Yang, who had been beaten to the point of near death, suddenly shouted with all his might, "Panlong! You've gone back on your word! Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation by doing this?!"

His roar had almost exhausted all his strength, causing the veins on his neck to bulge, making him look quite frightening.

However, the man chuckled dismissively and said disdainfully, "Tsk, when have I ever gone back on my word? Didn't you hear? It was Miss Qin who paid for my help with a meal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He stared intently at Qin Nian, gritting his teeth as he cursed, "You bitch!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nian looked at him calmly and said in a cold tone, "Likewise, you wronged me first. If you hadn't hit my brother, I wouldn't have asked anyone to help."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a muffled "bang!" was heard.

Lin Yang was kicked by someone, followed by a crisp "crack" sound.

Lin Yang's face turned deathly pale, and he cried out in pain, "Ah—"

Qin Nian was startled by his scream and frowned subconsciously, but she quickly regained her indifferent expression and coldly watched Lin Yang roll on the ground clutching his stomach.

Seeing this, someone looked at Qin Nian with some difficulty and asked cautiously, "Miss Qin, shall we continue?"

Seeing Lin Yang's miserable state, those around him couldn't help but say, "Miss Qin, although Lin Yang wronged you in the past, he has learned his lesson today. That's enough."

Another person quickly chimed in, "That's right. Besides, what man doesn't have an affair? They're already beaten like this; if they keep going, someone might die."

"We should call an ambulance right away. Judging from his condition, he probably has internal injuries or broken ribs. Miss Qin, he has already learned his lesson. Let's be forgiving."

Qin Nian was furious at what they were saying. Lin Yang was clearly in the wrong back then, but now it was her who was in the wrong!

The things he did in private were so disgusting that she couldn't eat. Did he think he was right to cheat on her with multiple women?

Moreover, although her brother hit Lin Yang first, it was to stand up for her. Besides, wasn't her brother also injured?

Her brother was beaten so badly, and she asked people to help her fight back. Was she wrong to do that?!

Moreover, she didn't even say anything, so how did it become that she was being unreasonable!

But she couldn't say.

Seeing their accusing gazes, Qin Nian quickly calmed down after feeling wronged. She took a deep breath, quickly organized her thoughts, and analyzed the current situation to find a way that would be beneficial to her.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, but she still spoke clearly and logically: "Stop. I only saw that my brother was injured and acted rashly. I didn't mean to hurt him."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately stopped what they were doing and stepped aside, leaving Lin Yang alone, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.

By this time, some people nearby had already called for emergency medical assistance, and they were waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

Qin Nian slowly walked to Lin Yang's side, her eyes filled with grievance and resentment. Her voice choked as she said, "I saw with my own eyes that female celebrity being kept by you in your villa while she was heavily pregnant. Although I felt wronged, I didn't do anything excessive. When the news of you cheating on me with multiple women made it to the trending topics, I was so upset that I locked myself in my room. It took me a long time to calm down, and I didn't let anyone cause you any trouble. But you shouldn't have done that. You were the one who made the mistake, yet you still dared to hit my brother! Yes, it was my brother who hit me first, but he was only doing it to protect me!"

As her words grew more and more emotional, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, becoming increasingly intense.

She continued sobbing, "I regret ever falling in love with you. If I hadn't been with you, my brother wouldn't have fought and gotten hurt for you today, and I wouldn't be being ridiculed behind my back because of you. What did I, Qin Nian, do wrong to deserve this treatment!"

Finally, Qin Nian completely broke down and shouted, "Is falling in love with you my fault?!"
