Are you waiting for someone to hit you!

Seeing Ye Wuqi turn his gaze toward him, he smiled and said, "This classmate, you are clinging to my CEO's thigh. If you don't let go right now, I'll have the bodyguards beat you."

Ye Wuqi felt a slight wave of relief wash over him. Good thing he managed to protect his Brother Lv's leg hair.

At the same time, he knew that if he kept this up, even if Brother Lv didn't fly into a rage right now, he would definitely settle accounts with him later. Therefore, the moment he heard Song Linfeng's words, he smoothly released his grip from his Brother Lv's leg.

"Damn it! I was just hugging it for a second! Is that really necessary?!" He then scrambled a good distance away from both Brother Lv and Song Linfeng.

"Brother Qi, where did your school-bully arrogance go?!" Yan Baba, Qin Zhaoyu, and Lei Xingxing all looked extremely dissatisfied. "Fight them! What are you afraid of?! Aren't you the best at beating people up?! You were already holding on, why didn't you at least pull out a hair? Aren't you taking a huge loss here?!"

In a fit of indignation, Ye Wuqi pointed angrily past Gong Lv's back and roared at them, "Did none of you motherfuckers open your eyes to look?!"

It was only then that Yan Baba, Qin Zhaoyu, and Lei Xingxing noticed that, at some unknown point, two rows of bodyguards dressed in black, wearing sunglasses and Bluetooth earpieces, had appeared behind Gong Lv...

Furthermore, every single one of those bodyguards looked like a seasoned martial artist at first glance...

The three of them instantly lost their nerve, retreating even faster and farther than Ye Wuqi had.

Seeing that Qin Zhaowu was still standing there with a smile, a furious Qin Zhaoyu rushed over, yanked Qin Zhaowu far away from Gong Lv, and cursed loudly while pulling him, "Qin Zhaowu, are you fucking stupid?! Everyone else is hiding, what are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for them to beat you up?!"

Qin Zhaowu smiled and said, "I didn't do anything, so I probably won't get beaten."

"Probably won't, probably won't!" Qin Zhaoyu yelled. "You won't be saying that once you get hit!"

Qin Zhaowu still smiled with his usual good temper.

The moment Song Linfeng saw that Ye Wuqi and the others would no longer try to cling to Gong Lv's legs, he waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to leave.

Ye Luo glanced at the orderly retreating bodyguards before shifting her cold gaze calmly toward the pile of scrap metal... no, toward the completely collapsed tricycle.

Gong Lv lowered his head slightly, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then also looked at the pile of scrap metal. The corners of his thin, cool lips couldn't help twitching once more.

Ye Wuqi and the others followed suit, casting their gazes toward the heap of scrap iron...

It was only then that Lei Xingxing realized his tricycle had fallen apart. He immediately dropped to his knees before the pile of scrap metal, tears streaming down his face as he wailed, "Dad, I've failed you. Before you died, you said you left this for me to use for collecting junk when I grew up, but now it's fallen apart... Wuwu..."

Before Ye Luo and the others could react, Uncle Wang, the estate's head butler, felt his heart ache so intensely that he wiped away his tears and choked out, "This child is so pitiful."

"Big Gorilla, what the hell are you crying for?! We already told you that if it broke, we'd all chip in to buy you a new one!" Qin Zhaoyu's hot temper immediately flared, and he couldn't help cursing at Lei Xingxing.

"Oh, right!" Remembering this, Lei Xingxing instantly cheered up. He quickly wiped away his tears, jumped to his feet, and deftly gathered up every piece of the scrap metal, tossing them straight into the nearby trash can.

His movements flowed in one continuous motion, without a single shred of reluctance.

Uncle Wang's tears froze right there in his eye sockets...

Seeing Uncle Wang's expression, Ye Wuqi and Yan Baba instantly burst into loud, uproarious laughter: "Hahahaha..."

Gong Lv simply couldn't bear to watch any longer, turning around to head inside the house first.

Ye Luo also felt a slight urge to turn back inside, but since she couldn't just abandon her old ancestor, she simply kept her eyes fixed on him.

The moment the old ancestor caught her staring at him, he immediately sidled up to her with a cheeky, all-smiles expression and drawled, "Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Luo, my girl. We really did our absolute best."
