She sighed softly, leaned down and glanced at the middle-aged man: "Whose family are you from?"
The middle-aged man looked somewhat puzzled, so Xie Li continued, "By the way, Xu Zhen of Zhenye Group is really my uncle. Do you have time to have a cup of tea with him?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
Don't be fooled by his loud pronouncements just now; it's only because he doesn't know Xie Li's background.
How could someone surnamed Xie be the eldest daughter of the Xu family? At most, they're just related.
Moreover, given the circumstances just now, the law does not punish the masses, and he didn't believe that Zhenye Group could really hold so many families accountable.
But if we take it out on his own, he wouldn't dare to confront Zhenye Group and bear the wrath of Xu Zhen.
Add to that the excessively handsome young man beside the girl, who exudes an imposing aura, seems to have a powerful background, and is wholeheartedly protective of her…
The middle-aged man was utterly terrified and apologized profusely, as sincerely as he could possibly be.
Xie Li ignored the middle-aged man's apology, turned to look at Luo Zhihan, and casually placed her fingers on the other man's wrist, her brows furrowing slightly.
Are you... angry?
The thin ice in Luo Zhihan's eyes finally melted away. He closed his eyes briefly and then grasped Xie Li's wrist with his other hand.
“Lili…” She paused, then said softly, “I don’t like seeing anyone bully you.”
He had only recently learned of some of the news. Seeing Xie Li being attacked by the mob, he couldn't suppress the murderous intent within him.
Xie Li shrugged. "Actually, it's alright. I can handle this situation."
"I've memorized all these people's faces. If I wanted to get revenge, it would be too easy."
Although these people are very cunning and recklessly test the limits of the law and her anger, she is not entirely without ways to deal with them.
It's fine if a middle-aged man insults her, but if he tries to make her drop out of school, then he's crossing her line.
If anyone tries to force her to stop studying, she will make sure they die!
The middle-aged man huddled to the side broke out in a cold sweat. How could this young girl speak so casually, yet he felt a chill down his neck?
Thinking of Xu Zhen's barbaric style at Zhenye Group, he vaguely understood that the Xu family was indeed not to be trifled with.
Even my niece is incredibly ruthless. How arrogant is it for a little girl to barge into the top class and arrest someone right in front of Teacher Wen?
Unfortunately, the other party was in the right, and while they might not be easy to talk to, it didn't really count as bullying or taking advantage of their power.
He was careless; he couldn't afford to mess with a girl like that.
The middle-aged man became much more obedient this time, and apologized to Xie Li again with trepidation, "I just had a sharp tongue and wanted to show off, but I don't actually have the guts..."
After the middle-aged man left, Yan Jin sighed, "So this is what it feels like to work under a big shot?"
Wow, that middle-aged man was just trying to curry favor with him by offering him a cigarette.
Before, when he followed Zhang Jingyang, he would bully delicate and weak girls. But when they actually encountered someone stronger, Zhang Jingyang would run away faster than anyone else.
Xie Li: "..."
"Are you talking about me?" Xie Li felt he had to clarify his position, "I don't take on followers."
She had considered becoming the ruler of Tiandu Mountain by recruiting followers before, but after Shen Tiezhu gave her a book on criminal law, she completely abandoned that idea.
She only wants to be a true and upright successor to socialism, not a law-abiding citizen.
Yan Jin scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Um, Li Shen, I just wanted to be your errand boy..."
