Suddenly, Huo Shiqian stepped forward, lifted his foot, and delivered a spinning kick that sent Li Qiang flying before he could even dodge.
"Brother Qiang!" The lackeys cried out loudly.
At this point, everyone knew a fight was inevitable.
A few men exchanged looks and charged at Huo Shiqian together.
"I’m going to fight you with all I’ve got!"
Huo Shiqian let out a cold laugh, flexed his wrists, and casually got into position, facing the group’s attacks without dodging—blocking and punching...
Those who usually relied on brute strength to fight were no match for a true master.
Moreover, in terms of sheer strength, none of those present was a match for Huo Shiqian.
The courtyard was in chaos.
If you can’t fight in a military uniform, just take it off!
Uncle Liberation Army, so cool!
Xia Chuyi gazed at her boyfriend’s heroic figure with sparkling eyes.
Suddenly, she noticed her second elder brother standing to the side, his expression gloomy and complex.
"Second Brother, at this point, do you still have feelings for Li Qiang?" Xia Chuyi’s voice chilled, "Do you still want to talk about so-called Jianghu loyalty?"
If Xia Chengzong remained so stubbornly foolish, then he wasn’t worth her concern anymore.
Xia Chengzong shook his head, "Loyalty? Bullshit!"
He said bitterly, "I just feel that I should have been the one standing there getting beaten."
Chuyi’s heart relaxed, and she smiled at her second brother, "No, Second Brother, you’re different from them."
"You have a bottom line."
"The so-called loyalty isn’t about Jianghu loyalty but about justice... like him," Xia Chuyi said proudly, nodding toward Huo Shiqian.
Huo Shiqian, fierce like a tiger and agile, took down all the lackeys in just one round.
Four young men, with bruised noses and swollen faces, were in a pitiful state—one clutching his stomach, another his arm, groaning and moaning.
And Huo Shiqian, with integrity radiating from him, his expression cold, his hair slightly disheveled, which only added to his unruly charm.
He frowned slightly and finally, after a harsh stomp on Li Qiang, who had received the worst beating, he stopped and stood still, slowly rolling down his sleeves.
Xia Chuyi’s eyes curved with joy as she trotted up to him, pleasingly draping the clothes over him and said with sparkling eyes, "Uncle Liberation Army, you look so handsome!"
"...What did you call me?" Huo Shiqian glanced at her, his expression no better than before.
"Brother Shiqian!" Xia Chuyi quickly corrected herself.
She’d gotten used to calling him Uncle Liberation Army and hadn’t changed it in time.
To make Huo Shiqian forget this quickly, Xia Chuyi dutifully helped him button up one by one.
Finally, she couldn’t help but say, "Brother Shiqian, you looked really handsome today!"
"Weren’t I handsome before?" Huo Shiqian couldn’t help but respond.
Uncle Liberation Army, who spoiled you?
After disciplining the men, Huo Shiqian, unfazed, took Xia Chuyi’s hand and started to leave, saying, "I’ll call Chang Luhui to take the people inside."
When Chang Luhui saw Huo Shiqian coming to tell him to arrest the people personally, he almost choked on his own saliva.
"Commander... Commander... why did you personally... personally act?" Chang Luhui stuttered in shock.
"Cracking down on criminal activities is exactly my job here; what, do you have doubts?" Huo Shiqian looked at him.
"No, absolutely not!" Chang Luhui quickly raised his hand to show his loyalty.
