The man in the lead had barely finished speaking.

The woman lying on the ground, her face flushed red, cried out emotionally, "He's lying! I didn't owe him any money! I really didn't... Waaah, waaah..."

Before she could finish speaking, one of the man's men reached out a large, thick hand and covered the woman's mouth tightly.

This sudden scene startled both Zhao Youde and Chen Ze, who was standing to the side, and their brows furrowed.

Seeing the woman being treated so unfairly, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately and decisively said, "Do it!"

At Chen Ze's command, Zhao Youde, who had been waiting by his side, sped out like an arrow.

He clenched his right fist, his arm muscles tense, veins bulging, and with a fierce aura, he lashed out at the man in the lead.

However, the burly man with a fierce face was clearly no ordinary person either.

Faced with Zhao Youde's fierce punch, he simply turned slightly to the side and moved his feet nimbly, easily dodging the attack.

However, these street thugs were ultimately just insignificant nobodys. How could they possibly compete with Zhao Youde, who came from a background of sharp knives?

As expected, in less than ten seconds, Zhao Youde, with his agility and superb fighting skills, beat the seemingly fierce and burly man so badly that he was left helpless and lying on the ground in a sorry state.

Seeing their boss taken down so quickly, the other two henchmen panicked.

In their panic, they reacted quickly. Almost simultaneously, they reached into their pockets, pulled out two sharp knives that gleamed coldly, and without a word, charged fiercely at Zhao Youde.

Faced with this perilous situation, Zhao Youde remained completely calm. He first launched a flying kick, striking one of the men squarely in the chest, sending him flying several meters away like a kite with a broken string.

Immediately afterward, he flashed forward and grabbed the other person's wrist with lightning speed, then executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the other person to the ground.

Then, he delivered another heavy punch, and with a muffled thud, the enemy's eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

Despite being kicked away, the man was unharmed due to his strong physique and continued charging towards Zhao Youde, brandishing his knife.

Zhao Youde showed no mercy, quickly grabbing the hand holding the knife with one hand and knocking him unconscious with a swinging punch.

The burly man knew he'd met his match, and quickly said, "Brother, let's talk this out. I'm a subordinate of the Li family in the capital. I advise you not to go against me, or you won't leave here alive..."

"Bang!" He was knocked unconscious by Zhao Youde before he could finish speaking.

When Chen Ze heard that it was someone from the Li family in the capital, he immediately felt that things were getting complicated.

He looked at the girl and asked, "Are you still able to walk?"

The girl got up from the ground and tried to take a few steps, but the pain made her cry.

"I sprained my ankle."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Ze expectantly.

"Sigh..." Chen Ze sighed deeply, slowly squatted down, and said softly:

"Come on up, this is no place to stay any longer. You're in big trouble this time. To be honest, even I might not be able to help you this time, and I might even get myself involved."

The girl seemed to have anticipated this situation, and without the slightest hesitation, she nimbly climbed onto Chen Ze's broad back.

Seeing this, Chen Ze shook his head helplessly, then quickly picked up the girl's pair of delicate high heels from the ground, and then left the scene as fast as the wind.

On the way, the girl whispered her thanks in his ear: "Thank you for saving me. My name is Lin Xiyue."

"You're welcome. It's fate that we met," Chen Ze said calmly.

Time passed slowly, and after about five minutes, the two finally made it back to their hotel room safely.

As soon as he entered, Chen Ze asked Zhao Youde, "Uncle De, this girl has sprained her ankle. Do you know how to treat it?"

Zhao Youde, who was tidying up his things inside the house, heard the shouts and quickly turned around. He glanced at the girl on Chen Ze's back and the high heels he was holding.

He replied with a smile, "Boss, I can treat this little injury. Don't worry, it's a piece of cake for me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ze's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes, complaining irritably.

"Uncle De, if you knew how to treat her, why didn't you say so sooner? I had to carry her all this way without any trouble!"

Zhao Youde, however, didn't seem to mind and replied with a smile, "Boss, you didn't ask me."

After healing Lin Xiyue's foot, Chen Ze asked seriously, "Tell me how you offended the Li family."

Lin Xiyue didn't hide anything; she told Chen Ze everything.

It turns out that Lin Xiyue is a graduate student at Peking University, and she accidentally discovered a super effective skincare product.

This product moisturizes and nourishes the skin, deeply hydrating it, locking in moisture, protecting it from environmental pollution and oxidative damage, and maintaining a youthful appearance.

It can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles and delay skin aging. For this reason, she borrowed money from relatives and friends to go to a beauty salon as soon as she graduated.

She personally made one hundred bottles of this magical essence water, and within just one month of opening the store, it received unanimous praise from the surrounding socialites.

Unexpectedly, a woman named Li Muqing took a liking to her essence water and said she was willing to pay 200,000 yuan to buy her formula.
