"In the area around Lincheng, no one dares to have any ideas about me. Even if I am more beautiful than a woman, that doesn't mean that I will let you ride me like a woman... " Li Yi whispered in the man's ear as he gently bit the man's earlobe. The man who was being pressed down by him took a sharp intake of breath and started trembling all over. However, Li Yi didn't have any intention of hurting him at the moment. He was just giving the man a warning, and also thinking about finding a few people to accompany this guy for some fun."
The wine and pleasure industry in the southern district is under Gu Qi's management. Li Yi is very familiar with the bar street in Lincheng. Over the years, it has undergone some changes, but those who have been around here for a long time all know him, Li Er Ye. Just how familiar is Li Yi with this road?
In that room, hidden in that nest, he knew exactly how many "lollipops" were kept there, and how many "special" props were stored in that place. He didn't want to be like this, but he used to be in charge of these things before and had long gotten used to it.
At that time, Gu Qi felt that Li Yi was somewhat underutilized in managing this area. However, Li Yi didn't mind much. The main thing was that he felt happy. In life, there were bound to be countless unsatisfactory things, so it didn't matter what he did or didn't do. Who had the time to worry about so much?
Li Yi knew very well that his face, which surpassed that of ordinary mortals, had caused trouble for many men and women. Such a appearance was something that outsiders could not envy, because all the children of the Li family were born exceptionally attractive. It was inherited and also bestowed upon them by their mother as a precious treasure. However, it was precisely because of this excessively beautiful face that Li Yi had also attracted quite a bit of trouble.
But Li Yi didn't mind the hassle either. Just because he was born handsome, he couldn't go poking a few knife scars on his own face, could he? Were those lecherous men worth it?
It's really a huge international joke.
Li Yi dragged the person into the small dark room. Everyone was having a great time and was about to burst into angry curses when they turned around and saw the stunning beauty from the southern district. Immediately, they fell silent and dared not utter a word.
Li Yi, besides being known as "Uncle Li" in code, actually has another nickname called "Yuyanluo". Li Yi's enchanting peach blossom eyes are too captivating, his charming gaze alone can make people fall into a trance. His slender waist, when grasped lightly, can bewitch anyone who lays eyes on it. However, this is a person who should not be touched unless it is voluntary, otherwise it will be a common occurrence to lose a limb or two.
Li Yi kicked open the small room, pressing the lit cigarette onto the man's buttocks. The man finally screamed in pain. They were unaware that Li Yi had always had a sadistic tendency. But even when he played, at most he would leave someone disabled, never playing to the point of killing them.
In fact, in these past few years, Li Yi has become quite compassionate. This time, he handed over his companions to the brothers in the southern district and then disappeared without a trace. Before leaving, he only instructed them not to harm his companions. This is quite different from before when he would casually say, "Play as you wish, no need to be polite to me..."
Li Yi felt that he was becoming more and more kind-hearted. Living in the present, he constantly found himself tormented by the trivialities of life, to the point where he had lost his temper.
Life, ah, this lifetime is too long. Occasionally, when the urge to do good arises, it also accumulates virtue for oneself. Li Yi has never believed in gods or spirits, nor does he believe in Buddha, but now he is willing to do so.
Li Yi turned away from the bar street and sat alone on a pedestrian bridge until dawn. As he watched the large trucks speeding under the bridge, he suddenly felt refreshed by the wind blowing on the bridge. Li Yi enjoyed smoking on the bridge; he genuinely liked the feeling of overlooking the entire city. Only by standing tall could one see far, and this principle applied to any situation.
He enjoys sitting on the sky bridge, gazing at the distant skyscrapers and observing the changes in the city. From the once muddy and desolate land to the towering skyscrapers of today. One downside of being his age is that he is prone to being sentimental. And then, he is reminded of his own childhood.
Childhood was also a dreamland for Li Yi. Li Yi had a younger brother. When Li Yi was very young, his younger brother was taken away by someone. Li Yi couldn't remember where he was taken to. It was only in recent years that he received news about his younger brother. Li Yi remembered that when they were young, the two brothers would often fight. Later, Li Yi's family was chased by enemies, and the two brothers became separated.
Promoting the spirit of Chinese martial arts has been Li Yi's father's lifelong wish. Li Yi's return this time is to fulfill his father's dream.
The black aura that stained him in the past cannot be easily washed away. When Li Yi followed the gang leader Gu Qi, he also picked up quite a few bad habits. This unconventional behavior is not what a descendant of the Li family should possess. First of all, smoking, drinking, and clubbing should be strictly prohibited. However, Li Yi can't give up smoking. There are just too many damn problems, and he can't avoid dealing with the Gu family when he returns to Lincheng. He can't possibly not save face for Gu Qi.
Vaguely recalling the scene of despair witnessed with one's own eyes years ago, Li Yi's parents were taken away by four muscular men wearing black masks, losing their lives. Father collapsed in a pool of blood, while Mother was pregnant at the time. Originally, Li Yi should have had a younger brother or sister. However, from that day onwards, Li Yi lost even his home.
At that time, Li Yi was still young, but his hatred had already penetrated his bones. For the past few years, Li Yi had been wandering around, constantly searching for the whereabouts of those perpetrators, but could never find them. The police investigation yielded no results. Gu Qi once told Li Yi that the reason they couldn't find the culprits was probably because they had powerful backers, making it too risky for the righteous path to intervene. It was only later that Li Yi wholeheartedly followed Gu Qi, giving up on seeking revenge.
This retrospection, it's already a thing of the past, a long time ago. Recently, Li Yi has gathered some information and finally discovered the whereabouts of his younger brother.
Based on the skill and ability Father displayed back then, it is absolutely impossible for him to be not a match for those few men. Among the reasons for this, it is the utmost priority that Li Yi has been investigating all this time.
Li Yi tightly clenched his fist, as if blaming his powerless self from his youth. He fiercely pounded on the bridge pillar, instantly adding a scar on the back of his hand where it was grazed by the asphalt and cement board. Blood slowly trickled down his wrist. Li Yi raised his hand, licked the blood off the back of it, then took a deep breath and strode forward with his chest held high.
The night wind in the outskirts of the city carried a hint of chilliness. Li Yi ran desperately on the main road, closing his eyes tightly to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes. He was always blaming his younger self for not being strong enough, unable to reach the power to protect his loved ones and his home.
It will get better when daylight comes...
As long as daylight breaks, everything will pass...
Over the years, he has always been comforting himself this way, thinking that there's nothing to worry about. As long as he can endure the darkest nights, dawn will always come.
Li Yi always had trouble falling asleep late at night, so he habitually immersed himself in the abyss of decadence. However, even decadence couldn't make him forget everything that had happened before. Smoking and drinking only numbed his nerves, but they couldn't erase his memories.
He had been here until early morning at 7 o'clock, when the traffic and pedestrians began to increase. It was time for him to go back to the martial arts school for classes.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly "beeped", which was his message ringtone.
Opening the message on his phone, one of them was sent by a new student to Li Yi. The number of people studying martial arts had increased, and money was flowing in as well. It was indeed a joyful and fortunate occurrence.
