Gu Li noticed Jiang Xu as soon as he appeared and saw him leave. He was thinking of calling him after he finished his call to chat for a bit, but he didn't expect Jiang Xu to come back.

It's not hard to guess that he saw Liu Mingtang's actions; if Jiang Xu could tolerate it, he wouldn't be Jiang Xu.

Gu Li's movements, which were originally light and agile, became sharp and swift. Those who were fighting him were the first to notice the change in Gu Li.

What started as a back-and-forth exchange between their fingertips turned into one-sided abuse, with Gu Li inflicting the abuse while they were relentlessly humiliated and humiliated.

Liu Mingtang: "We let you leave, yet you still dare to come back looking for death."

Jiang Xu glanced at Gu Li's battle situation and smiled. Sure enough, there was no need to worry at all. That kid was just playing tricks on this gloomy guy, using the same old "give a little hope" tactic.

Seeing that everyone was looking in Gu Li's direction and completely ignoring him, Liu Mingtang's voice became sharper, "Since you're looking for death, then I'll grant your wish. All of you, get on top of me."

The people he had originally assigned to make things difficult for Gu Li were given to Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu nodded indifferently, "I should be the one advising you to stop courting death."

The men who attacked Jiang Xu didn't take him seriously at all. "Kid, we'll just use you as a practice run first."

"Judging from his expression, I hope he won't cry if he hits too hard."

"What's with a grown man crying? Hahahahahaha."

Amidst laughter and jeers, Jiang Xu looked at them with clear eyes and asked, "Would you go easy on me?"

"Look at what he's saying! What do you mean, 'quiet down'? Brothers?"

"If you're going to be all effeminate and scared, then get lost. We'll strike hard."

"Going easy on him is impossible. You'd better kneel down and beg Brother Liu to take a look!"

Jiang Xu said, "That's scary." Amid their increasingly loud laughter, he added, "Then I won't be gentle either. I hope you can take a beating."

"Still daydreaming? Want to go play over there?" Gu Li asked calmly. "Then I'll take you there." He kicked the person who had turned their back to him.

The man was sent flying a great distance by that kick.

Those who had been watching Jiang Xu's group snapped out of their daze. They were simply curious about what those people were laughing at, forgetting that they couldn't just leisurely be bystanders.

Gu Li said, "It seems you all want to go. I'll see you off one by one."

The sounds of punches and kicks continued unabated, and some people had already begun to feign death and lie on the ground, refusing to get up.

Jiang Xu smiled as he watched the people slowly gathering around him, then rushed straight towards the first person to speak.

The man didn't take Jiang Xu's charge seriously, and just raised his fist, wanting to fight Jiang Xu head-on.

Jiang Xu raised his foot and kicked him. As Jiang Xu was kicked backward, he delivered the punch he hadn't intended to him to another person next to him.

The kick and punch stunned the two people and angered the surrounding crowd.

"He's asking for it! How dare he charge at us like that? Beat him up!" The voice shouted loudly.

Jiang Xu said, "I originally planned to follow the order, but now I'm going to do whatever I want." He shook his hand, and a new round of teaching them how to be good people began.

Gu Li and Jiang Xu even shared a sudden surge of wicked humor. They both drove people in each other's direction, slowly approaching each other like they were leading a pack of mad dogs. When they were only two meters apart, they gave each other a smile.

They were all harboring the same ill intentions.

They were now standing right in front of Liu Mingtang. Jiang Xu asked, "Should we capture the king first?"

Gu Li gave him an approving look, and then the two of them turned to look at Liu Mingtang together.

Liu Mingtang suddenly met the two men's gaze, and his hair stood on end instantly. "What are you doing? Take them down!"

The group of men he led stood not far away, watching the two men warily, none of them daring to rush forward recklessly.

The next moment, Gu Li and Jiang Xu moved, quickly approaching Liu Mingtang.

Only then did Liu Mingtang lower his guard, and suddenly panicked. His first reaction was to run towards the alley entrance, but then a foot blocked his way.

Jiang Xu looked at him leisurely, his long legs propped against the wall. "What are you running for, you piece of trash?" He pronounced "piece of trash" slowly and clearly, full of sarcasm.

Liu Mingtang instinctively ran in another direction, but Gu Li happened to be waiting for him, and he was blocked by another long leg.

Gu Li said expressionlessly, "Oh? Garbage."

With his back against the wall and surrounded on both sides, Liu Mingtang suddenly rushed forward.

Jiang Xu and Gu Li reached out together, their fists colliding, completely cutting off Liu Mingtang's last escape route.

Gu Li: "Don't bother, I just wanted to talk to you."

Liu Mingtang leaned back against the wall, head bowed. "What did you want to say? What did you mean by what you said on the phone?"

Gu Li didn't answer him, but looked at the group of people who were still gathered around. "Still staying? Planning to play another round with you guys after I rest for a while?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, and then the first person to run away followed one after another towards the alley entrance, and in no time the group was completely scattered.

Gu Li: "You have terrible taste. No wonder you've been entangled with her."

Liu Mingtang, "You really know about that?" He lowered his head even further.

Gu Li: "The gift has probably arrived. I just asked you to remind you to check it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mingtang looked up and was met with a dagger thrust at him.

Gu Li was too close, so she could only try to pull back.

Jiang Xu noticed the other person's movement and grabbed Liu Mingtang's hand, trying to pull her away from Gu Li.

It was an art knife. Both of them moved very quickly, but the blade still grazed Gu Li's hand, adding another wound to her already not fully healed left index finger.

Only then did Jiang Xu realize that the wound on the other person's index finger had already reopened, and the blood had dried somewhat, suggesting that it had been like this since the fight.

Now, fresh blood slid down Gu Li's fingers and onto the ground, appearing both dazzling and eerie.

He suddenly tightened his grip on Liu Mingtang's hand, snatched the knife from him, and mercilessly slashed a line on the other man's index finger.

Liu Mingtang felt a sudden, intense pain surge through him. "Ah!"

Jiang Xu tightened his grip on the other person's wrist, making it feel incredibly firm. "Does it hurt?"

Liu Mingtang couldn't answer at all. He had never experienced anything like this before. His attention was focused on his aching hands. He was an art student, and his hands were extremely important to him.

How could they possibly, how dare they?

Seeing that no one answered, Jiang Xu dangerously twirled the knife in his hand. "Looks like it didn't hurt enough."

He released that hand, grabbed the other person's index finger, and mercilessly slashed it with a knife. He tightened his grip on the index finger, and blood gushed out. "Speak!"

Liu Mingtang cried out, "It hurts! Let me go!" He felt like a leaf being manipulated at will, and fear belatedly crept over him.

Gu Li then placed her hand on Jiang Xu's hand. Jiang Xu looked over, thinking that the other party was going to persuade him to let go, but Gu Li said leisurely, "If you press harder, it will hurt me quite a bit."

He looked into Jiang Xu's eyes and said, "Brother Xu."
