7: temptation

As soon as he finished speaking, a Young Master in his twenties, accompanied by three bodyguards, strode over with a menacing Aura.

The Young Master was dressed in an expensive suit, with a 30/70 split hairstyle, and was no more than 1.7 meters tall, with a face that was simply indescribable.

However, a strong Killing Intent emanated from him, and his Aura was arrogant.

He was skilled and had blood on his hands!

This was Liu Jiangyi's first impression of the Young Master.

Liu Ruyan ignored the Young Master, instead wrapping her arm around Liu Jiangyi's, and said in a flustered tone, "Brother Liu, I'm scared…"

Damn it!

Liu Jiangyi cursed inwardly.

This woman was causing him trouble!

Sure enough!

When the Young Master saw Liu Ruyan voluntarily embracing Liu Jiangyi's arm, his face became even more ferocious, and the Killing Intent in his eyes was undisguised.

"Bastard! Let go of my woman!"

Liu Jiangyi: ???

For so many years, Liu Jiangyi had long had enough of being humiliated.

Now that he had the System, did this brat still dare to act all high and mighty with him?

Anger surged in Liu Jiangyi's heart.

He wrapped his arm around Liu Ruyan's slender waist.

Liu Ruyan's body trembled, her pupils suddenly constricted, completely unexpected that Liu Jiangyi would suddenly embrace her.

She instinctively wanted to pull away, but instantly suppressed the impulse.

Joy filled her heart!

"Hehe, you really are a pervert. Since you're so eager to die, then don't blame me!"

Liu Jiangyi sneered, "I'm sorry, but she's in my arms now, so she's my woman!"

"You… you damn bastard, how dare you!"

"You dare to touch Qian Qiang's woman, are you really tired of living!?"

Boom!

It was like a thunderclap.

Liu Jiangyi regretted it!

Qian Qiang?

Isn't this the Young Master of the Qian Family in City 39?

The Qian Family controlled all the energy stones mines in City 39, possessing immense power and astonishing heritage.

The Young Master of the Qian Family was notoriously known for bullying men and women and committing all sorts of evil deeds!

It was rumored that Qian Qiang once saw a young couple on the street.

Without a word, he went up and tried to have a relationship with the woman. When the man resisted, he was beaten to death on the spot and hung on the city wall!

After that incident, the people of City 39 were terrified at the mention of the Qian Family!

"Brother Liu~ I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. Please, please save me, I don't want to be defiled by him, please…"

Seeing Liu Jiangyi in a daze, Liu Ruyan quickly leaned against him again, looking pathetic.

The anger in Liu Jiangyi's heart was stirred up.

The thought of being a hero saving a beauty did indeed surface in his mind.

However!

This thought was quickly suppressed.

Instead, a murmur arose in his heart.

This Liu Ruyan was at most thirty years old, and her strength was only that of a Third-Rank Martial Artist. Logically, she absolutely did not qualify to be in charge of a mine.

Furthermore, generally, when Qian Qiang took an interest in a woman, he would absolutely not wait until the next day to sleep with her.

By now, Liu Jiangyi understood.

Liu Ruyan didn't kill him, and then brought him to this bar tonight, all for the purpose of using him as a shield against Qian Qiang.

But the problem was!

If Liu Ruyan was just an ordinary person, she should have been defiled by Qian Qiang long ago.

Even if she used him as a shield, what good would it do?

Thinking of this!

Liu Jiangyi suddenly understood!

"This Liu Ruyan is definitely not simple, and this Qian Qiang also has a problem!"

Liu Jiangyi chuckled.

He wrapped his arm around Liu Ruyan's arm and said proudly, "Don't worry, I also fell in love with General Manager Liu at first sight."

"For General Manager Liu, I am willing to die!"

With that, Liu Jiangyi suddenly stood up, pointed at Qian Qiang, and shouted, "I don't care if you're Young Master Qian or Young Master Dog, Ruyan is my woman, Liu Jiangyi's woman!"

"You want to touch her? Then step over my corpse first!"

With that, Liu Jiangyi chose to strike first, directly launching a punch at Qian Qiang's face.

With the Invulnerable Body's blessing.

The power of Liu Jiangyi's punch was astonishing, actually producing bursts of air explosions, like the majestic might of heaven descending, unstoppable!

Qian Qiang was greatly startled, completely unexpected that Liu Jiangyi would attack without a word.

He hurriedly retreated to dodge, then delivered a sweeping kick towards Liu Jiangyi's abdomen.

This move of his directly unleashed the power of a Third-Rank Martial Artist.

But in Liu Jiangyi's eyes, his movements were extremely slow.

Liu Jiangyi was overjoyed.

"A Third-Rank Martial Artist is indeed no match for me!"

Slap!

He merely raised his hand slightly and caught Qian Qiang's ankle, then pulled hard, performing a large swing that slammed Qian Qiang heavily onto the table.

Hiss!

The surrounding people gasped, their faces greatly changed.

They never expected that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man could instantly defeat a Third-Rank Martial Artist with a mere raise of his hand!

Liu Jiangyi was overjoyed; this was his first time fighting with such direct, flesh-and-blood combat.

With his bloodlust fully ignited, Liu Jiangyi showed no hesitation, directly pursuing with large strides, his fist like a meteorite, smashing heavily towards Qian Qiang's head!

This punch was incredibly powerful; if it landed, Qian Qiang would surely die!

Qian Qiang was so scared his body trembled, wanting to resist but it was already impossible.

"Stop!"

At the critical moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly let out a loud shout!

Boom!

The fist stopped just an inch or so from Qian Qiang's face.

Gulp!

Qian Qiang swallowed hard, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, his pupils trembling uncontrollably, where was the arrogance he had just moments ago?

Only deep fear remained!

"What's wrong?" Liu Jiangyi asked unhappily.

Liu Ruyan quickly stepped forward, pulled Liu Jiangyi away, "Stop hitting him, he's not Qian Qiang!"

"What!?" Liu Jiangyi roared, "I almost killed him, and you're telling me he's not Qian Qiang?"

"Then who is he?"

"He… he…" Liu Ruyan looked embarrassed, "He's my subordinate."

Liu Jiangyi chuckled inwardly.

Sure enough?

In fact, Liu Jiangyi had already guessed that this Qian Qiang might be fake!

Because if Qian Qiang were real, and Liu Ruyan had no power or influence, her suddenly asking him to be a shield would be meaningless.

Even if he could instantly kill a Second-Rank Martial Artist.

In front of a behemoth like the Qian Family, he would still be nothing more than an ant.

Thinking this, Liu Jiangyi dared not show it on his face.

He said angrily, "What? He's your subordinate? You were testing me?"

"Good, good, good, I thought you really liked me, but it turns out you were testing me? Liu Ruyan! You've disappointed me too much!"

With that, Liu Jiangyi turned to leave.

"No! Don't go!"

Liu Ruyan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Jiangyi, sobbing pitifully, "Brother Liu, I'm sorry… I shouldn't have tested you, but I've truly been hurt too much, and I don't dare to easily trust feelings anymore."

"My liking for you is real, but I don't want to find someone I like who doesn't like me, that's why I found my subordinate to test you."

"I'm sorry… Brother Liu, will you forgive me? Please…"

"You…" Liu Jiangyi's expression was one of struggling pain, an absolute Oscar-worthy performance!
