The bodyguard clutched his stomach, collapsed weakly to the ground, clearly incapacitated.
Upon seeing this, Ye Guangyu finally showed a look of tension on his face; he had miscalculated.
I thought that even if these two had a knife, they wouldn't be a match for Ali.
I never expected Li Xin'er to be such a monster! She fights so fiercely!
Li Xin'er looked at him with a sinister smile, as if to tell him that he was next.
Ye Guangyu retreated in fear.
"What do you want? Don't come any closer!"
The bespectacled man was about to stop him, but Li Yiyuan silenced him with a single look.
The bespectacled man touched his nose and said awkwardly:
"Um... don't beat him too badly, President Ye is very fond of him."
Li Xin'er chuckled softly.
"Oh."
She grabbed Ye Guangyu by the back of his collar.
"You piece of trash, why are you running? Weren't you so arrogant? How come you're so weak?"
She thought one of the three had awakened a superpower and wanted to test it out.
I can't believe how useless he is. I don't know where he gets the courage to be so arrogant.
He thinks everyone is his father and spoils him.
Ye Guangyu was grabbed by the collar, like a duck whose throat was being held by fate.
He had never felt so stifled in his life. He flailed his limbs and twisted wildly, trying to break free.
Li Xin'er released her grip and kicked him hard in the lower back, sending the arrogant man sliding forward a considerable distance.
Then, a sound of ghostly wails and howls rang out.
"Ouch! My back!"
The man with glasses rushed to check on him.
"Young Master Ye, are you alright?"
Although he privately disliked this person, he was the boss, the one who paid salaries. And since they didn't know if it was really the end of the world, he couldn't afford to offend him for the time being.
Ye Guangyu held his waist, his mind racing with thoughts, but he dared not say another word, fearing that Li Xin'er might be dissatisfied and give him another beating.
You have to admit defeat when you should.
Looking at the three men who were completely incapable of fighting, Li Xin'er lost interest and didn't want to continue.
He walked up to Li Yiyuan, took a boning knife from his hand, and twirled it in his hand while his eyes lingered on the three men, seemingly deciding who to start with.
The bespectacled man immediately became alert and kept apologizing and saying nice things.
"I'm so sorry, we were wrong. We hope Miss Li will be lenient."
The injured bodyguard, clutching his stomach and pale-faced, struggled to stand in front of Ye Guangyu.
Ye Guangyu was more afraid at this moment, and kept backing away, his eyes darting around.
He was genuinely afraid that the woman would go crazy and kill him.
The bespectacled man quickly followed and assured him.
"It was Young Master Ye who offended Miss Li first today. I will definitely report the truth to President Ye and will not cause any further trouble for Miss Li."
Li Xin'er raised an eyebrow.
"What? Did I knock your young master Ye out of his wits?"
What's the point of apologizing while the person in question hides behind and remains silent?
The bespectacled man was clearly stunned. He hadn't expected that Li Xin'er would not only vent her anger by hitting someone, but also really want to go all the way with Young Master Ye.
Is it really because it's the end of the world that they feel so fearless?
Otherwise, no matter how good a celebrity is at fighting, where would they get the confidence to go against the Ye family?
Regardless of what Li Xin'er was thinking, the most urgent task was to quell her anger first, otherwise the three of them would have no chance of leaving unscathed. Thinking this, the bespectacled man turned his head to look at Ye Guangyu.
Ye Guangyu received his signal and understood the situation; he had no choice but to apologize. Clutching his back in pain, he awkwardly stepped out from behind the bodyguard.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
Li Xin'er tilted her head and looked at Li Yiyuan.
Did you hear that?
Li Yiyuan smiled and shook his head in agreement.
"No."
Li Xin'er nodded, then glared at Ye Guangyu with a look of disgust.
"Haven't you eaten? Why are you speaking so quietly? Are you chatting with mosquitoes?"
Ye Guangyu was holding back his anger and wanted to retort, "I haven't eaten yet!"
But when she looked at the boning knives in Li Xin'er's and the others' hands, she felt a chill run down her neck. Her face flushed, and she stiffened her neck, shouting:
"sorry!"
Li Xin'er: "Who should I apologize to?"
Ye Guangyu felt like he was going to be driven mad with anger. He clenched his fists tightly, but finally, as if he had given up all hope, he unleashed his usual shamelessness.
"I, Ye Guangyu, am sorry to Li Xin'er!"
"I shouldn't have spoken rudely to Li Xin'er!"
"I shouldn't have suspected you of stealing! I shouldn't have blocked your way! I shouldn't have asked for your autograph! I shouldn't have..."
Li Xin'er waved her hand dismissively.
"Alright, alright!"
After a couple of sentences, he seemed to get into the swing of things and became more and more enthusiastic, talking about increasingly outrageous things.
Feeling bored, Li Xin'er left decisively. Li Yiyuan gave the three of them a warning look before following her.
·
At the top-floor restaurant's stairwell, the bespectacled man leaned against the door, listening to the footsteps fade into the distance, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"Young Master Ye, now that they're gone, let's go too. There's a first-aid kit in the room; you might need some medicine."
Ye Guangyu, now sitting casually on the ground, clutching his back, glanced at the two assistants and bodyguards his father had arranged, his eyes darkening.
"Hurry up and find a way to contact my dad!"
Those two are useless. If he had someone else to rely on, he would have gotten rid of them long ago.
A bodyguard can't even beat a woman.
The assistant is even more useless. He's good for nothing except making him apologize. He's no good at fighting, and he's brainless. He's not even as good as the bodyguard.

Back on the 17th floor, Li Xin'er and Li Yiyuan moved into Li Xin'er's room together.
Firstly, this room is close to the stairwell, making it convenient for escape.
Secondly, the room is a suite, which is more than enough for two people, and it would be safer for them to stay together.
Still no signal.
Sitting on the sofa, munching on bread, Li Yiyuan held his phone in one hand, constantly changing the angle, trying to find a signal.
Sitting on the other side, Li Xin'er opened a bottle of mineral water and replied:
"With so much rain falling from the sky last night, it's no wonder there was no signal."
Li Yiyuan got up, found a charging cable, plugged in his phone, and then said:
"If things really get chaotic, power and water outages are inevitable sooner or later. Right now, we don't know if the hotel's power is from a backup source or if the whole city is experiencing power outages."
"Xinxin, could you take my suitcase out for a moment? I brought a spare charger; let's fully charge all our electronic devices first."
Li Xin'er took his suitcase out of the space.
When Li Yiyuan plugged all the electronic devices they had brought—computer, tablet, watch, earphones, mobile phone, etc.—into various places in the room to charge.
A pile of food was already stacked in front of Li Xin'er: an induction cooker, pots and pans, vegetables, meat, grains, and oil...
Li Xin'er sat with her legs crossed, looking completely at ease.
"What are you looking at? Go cook!"
