Super War God in the City

"Meng Ying, don't listen to those bastards and their malicious belittlement!" Yun Fei saw that Li Mengying was in a bad way, and her heart twisted in pain; she had not imagined that the job of a public relations manager, which Li Mengying held, was far more arduous and humbling than she had thought.

Called by Yun Fei, Li Mengying snapped out of her daze, regaining some coherence in her thoughts, yet her eyes still held a tinge of grey.

During this time, all the humiliations she had endured were suppressed in her heart, but the scene just now was the final straw that broke the camel's back, triggering all the pent-up grievances and negative emotions in a flash.

It should not have been like this, but the timing chosen by Ma Wenguang was just too cruel, coinciding with her most humble and fragile moment, when she was reminiscing about Ling Fan.

To be humiliated in such a public setting, how could she stand it? Her thinking became deeply entrenched and she couldn't escape from it.

Li Mengying looked at Yun Fei and let out a self-mocking bitter laugh.

"Sister Ying, you need to lift your spirits, don't mind those bastards. They are just sour grapes because they can't have what they want; they are just envious and spiteful towards you. Those who are trying to knock you down will see, once my brother-in-law comes back, he won't let them get away with it!" Feng Qiang, enduring severe pain, encouraged Li Mengying.

Li Mengying let out a sigh and turned her head to He Chuan, "Why are you helping me?"

He Chuan noticed that Li Mengying seemed distressed and mused, "Nothing much, after my encounter with Miss Li yesterday, I quite took a liking to you!"

Li Mengying snorted with a sneer, "Heh, you took a liking? Then help Tian Yun resolve all this trouble, and I'll be extremely grateful to you. You can have whatever you want; I'll meet all your demands, how about that?"

At her words, He Chuan couldn't help but be stirred, wasn't this exactly what he had been longing to get from her?

But the condition was too high for him to fulfill. Although he lusted after Li Mengying's beauty, he was not reckless to the point of disregard for everything. As for Li Mengying, he was just planning to have a fling, nothing more.

As for opposing Hua Yi for a woman, Li Mengying wasn't worth that much to him, nor did she have the stature.

"Miss Li, your request is a bit difficult for me to comply with. I can ensure your personal safety, but for others, my capabilities are limited," He Chuan sighed.

Li Mengying let out another sneer. Apart from Ling Fan, she realized all men approached her with the same goal, the same behavior. She could attract every man except for Ling Fan, which filled her with sadness.

"Heh heh heh, limited abilities, huh? Don't think I can't see through you, you're just lusting after my beauty! Keep me safe? Do I need your protection? What the hell are you? Let me tell you, if you want me, you've got to show some sincerity.

You think those little plots of yours could move me? Dream on and get lost!" Li Mengying totally lost her temper.

Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming disgust with the vile faces of these men, feeling nothing but nausea.

Stunned by Li Mengying's outburst, He Chuan was left speechless, his face alternating between red and white. He never anticipated that his attempt to steal a chicken would result in losing a handful of rice, his little schemes exposed and turned against him in a public shaming.

"Hahaha!"

Immediately, a burst of unrestrained laughter echoed.

"Ah, the ancients were right, 'He who offers unsolicited help has an ulterior motive, either a scoundrel or a thief.' I actually thought someone here was Miss Li's friend, turned out to be with an agenda, flattering the very opposite of what's intended!

Playing the good guy to get close; too bad they don't appreciate your affection!" Ma Wenguang said with schadenfreude from not too far away.

He also did not expect Li Mengying to suddenly go off the rails and dare to disrespect He Chuan's face, acting out the farce of 'the dog biting Lu Dongbin'.

Logically, even if one knew that He Chuan had ulterior motives, anyone with a normal brain wouldn't act out like this in public. It seemed the provocation Li Mengying had just experienced was too much for her.

Yun Fei and the others were also a bit slow to grasp the situation. Li Mengying's behavior was indeed unexpected, but being women themselves, after a moment's thought, they could understand her feelings at this time.

The crowd below exchanged glances. Feng Qiang's attempt to save the situation was, in fact, an open secret among them; all men understood it was just that kind of thing.

But Li Mengying was indeed fierce—to be able to do such a thing on the spot really surprised everyone.

"Li Mengying doesn't seem like the easy type, right? Otherwise, why would she do such a fierce thing on the spot?" someone in the crowd immediately murmured.

"Since ancient times, deep affection can't be retained; it's always the schemes that win hearts. How do you know this isn't a case of 'escape from death to find prosperity'? Maybe this move just cleansed her image. Look, just now didn't you believe she was innocent?" someone next to him said with a weird tone.

Zhao Yuan below the stage was originally indignant because of He Chuan's plea for protection, but she didn't expect Li Mengying to dig her own grave with such a stunt, which caused her to scoff in surprise and derision.

"Ha, she really knows how to act, playing the saint and the sinner at the same time. Once the pants are off, it's all the same darkness; how could a wash turn it white?" Zhao Yuan let out a cold laugh, speaking disdainfully.

He Chuan's face turned red with embarrassment. When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation in public? His gaze toward Li Mengying was filled with darkness and severity.

"Miss Li, you will regret this. He Chuan has been kind as to a donkey's liver and lungs and has never suffered such humiliation. He is not a petty person, but neither is he magnanimous. I will remember today's 'gift'," He Chuan said with a pale face, his manner detached.

"Mr. Wang, I was impudent just now. As of this moment, I have nothing to do with them, please do as you wish!" He Chuan emphasized those last four words markedly.

The situation on stage changed rapidly, and it was unexpected that it would end up like this. However, with He Chuan's words, Wang Anxiang felt completely at ease. Today, no matter how much trouble he caused for Tian Yun, someone would clean up the mess.

"Hmph, threatening me? Let me tell you, compared to the man in my heart, your sort is not even worthy to carry his shoes. Do you really think you're something special?

You want me to regret? I've never done anything I regretted. I'll be waiting for you to make me regret!" Li Mengying, resigned to her fate and disregarding the consequences, spoke whatever felt satisfying to her. To her, death would be the worst that could happen anyway.

He Chuan laughed in his rage, "Good, good, good, Li Mengying has more guts than men. I really want to see what kind of thing the man in your heart is. I'll make sure you watch the man in your heart kneel before me and call me 'Daddy'!"

Below the stage.

"President, according to the clues we've found, all evidence points to her!" A young man raised his hand toward Yun Fei on the stage.

"Hong Mo, are you sure? We can't take this lightly. It's not a good time to cause trouble at this event. It would be difficult to end the matter if we stirred up a commotion," Hong Wei said solemnly.

"President, Hong Ping and I looked into this. If you don't trust me, you should at least trust Hong Ping. He's always meticulous in his work," Hong Mo pointed to a young man nearby and said.

"Yes, through our investigation, both Hong Dewei and Hong Cang were last seen alive at a private villa. Although the crime scene was cleaned up well, the last person Hong Dewei met with was Yun Fei.

All the evidence points to the woman on the stage; there's no mistake about it. It's up to the president whether to pursue the matter or not. We can also swallow our anger, pretend it never happened, and keep it to ourselves," Hong Ping spoke.

Upon hearing this, Hong Wei's complexion darkened, "What are you talking about? Do I look like someone who's afraid of trouble?

Our esteemed Zhongnan Martial Family, being plotted against by a woman from the Secular World, if word of this got out, would we have any face left?"

"Then..." Hong Mo and Hong Ping looked at each other, speaking hesitantly.

Hong Wei snorted angrily, "What 'then'? Come, follow me on stage to demand an explanation. The face of the Martial Arts World cannot be challenged by someone from the Secular World!"
