“It doesn’t hurt at all; you’re being too cautious,” Fang Yuan assured Bo Yi. Even though she didn’t take her minor injury seriously, she felt a warmth in her heart because he cared about her well-being.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door, and the restaurant manager entered, pushing a food cart.

“M-Mr. Bo, I’ll serve the dishes…”

The waitstaff were too intimidated to enter, leaving the manager with no choice but to brave the situation. As he entered, he couldn’t help but notice the typically reserved Bo Yi hugging the girl and whispering sweetly in her ear. It was evident to anyone with eyes that Young Master Bo was deeply in love and deeply concerned about this girl.

The restaurant manager proceeded to serve the dishes with his head down, mentioning that they had an excellent meal before excusing himself. However, he halted when he heard Bo Yi’s voice.

“Wait.”

Startled, the restaurant manager thought he was in trouble for some reason.

“Mr. Bo, if you need anything, 1 can arrange for a doctor to check on the lady…”

Bo Yi instructed, “Take the first aid kit away.”

The manager was left perplexed. Was that all? He had anticipated a heated confrontation. Bo Yi’s demeanor was far less intimidating than the rumors had suggested.

On another note,

Gu Panpan and Wan Chunling arrived at the Jade Water Mansion and were utterly astounded. They could secure an apartment in such an upscale neighborhood for only 3,600 yuan a month? It was like stepping into a dream. They accompanied Wang Ning to the 10th floor in the elevator, and upon opening the door, they were taken aback once more.

The apartment was exquisitely decorated and impeccably clean. Could such a place truly cost just 3,600 yuan a month?

“Is President Fang mistaken?” Gu Panpan was incredulous at the sight. “Wang Ning, are you sure this is the place?” In this environment, not only 3,600 yuan, even if the rent were doubled, it would still seem like a steal.

“This is the right place. The password is correct. Everything matches,” Wang Ning affirmed with a smile, setting down her luggage. “I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll take my leave.”

Gu Panpan and Wan Chunling exchanged bewildered glances, struggling to come to terms with what they were witnessing.

After Bo Yi dropped Fang Yuan off at the company, he promptly instructed Mu Qing to investigate Fang Yuan’s injury. In under ten minutes, Mu Qing provided him with footage captured by a roadside surveillance camera. Three vehicles had pulled up in front of Fang Yuan. Initially, a man and a woman alighted, followed by over a dozen thugs who were clearly there to intimidate Fang Yuan.

After some time, everyone left the surveillance footage. From their direction, it appeared they had headed to the adjacent weed-covered area. A few minutes later, the woman returned to her car alone, speeding away in a state of panic. Subsequently, Fang Yuan appeared in the surveillance footage and entered Bo Yi’s car.

Regardless of the circumstances, the presence of so many individuals ganging up on Fang Yuan was disconcerting. Bo Yi’s countenance darkened. “Locate these individuals. I want to have a personal conversation with them.”

Within half an hour, the thugs found themselves back at the weed field, facing over ten men, each one a formidable bodyguard.

Perplexed, they asked, “Sir, may we know which gang you represent? We are affiliated with the Gu family.”

“Have we met before? Why have you brought us here?”

“It’s nothing; I’m simply lending support to my young friend,” Bo Yi calmly stated, his gaze frosty. “Do you recognize this place?”

The dozen thugs quickly grasped the implication. Could it be that he was intervening on the girl’s behalf? Contemplating her formidable combat skills, they quivered.

“You’re all adults, yet you dared to bully a child?” Bo Yi raised his stature, emanating a commanding presence. “You outnumbered her, and it was a man against a woman.”

One of the thugs couldn’t help but protest, “Boss, can we talk this out? That girl beat us up badly. We’re the ones who got bullied! Look at our injuries!”

“Yeah, that girl’s combat skills are incredible. None of us could even come close to matching her!”

“She must have trained in mixed martial arts for years. Her level of skill is…”

“Not only that, I’ve been practicing mixed martial arts since I was a child, and I don’t stand a chance against her. She’s like a force of nature!”

Bo Yi’s low voice held a tinge of inquiry. “A force of nature?”

“No, no, Boss, what we mean is that she’s exceptionally skilled…”

“Take them away.” Bo Yi’s tone was icy. “Make sure they remember this well.”

“Boss, what we said is true!”

“We were the ones on the receiving end of the beating!”

“We didn’t even lay a finger on her!”

The dozen or so thugs were unceremoniously hauled away by the bodyguards. They writhed in pain on the ground once more, unable to escape the consequences of their actions. They were truly bullies!

Bo Yi’s narrowed his eyes slightly. “I’ll ask again. Who dared to lay a hand on her?”

One of the thugs cried out, “Boss, you’re giving us too much credit.. We couldn’t get anywhere near her, let alone touch her…”
