54: Chapter 53, Touched by This Man!
Ma Rui could never have anticipated that someone would emerge out of nowhere to interfere.
He cursed Liu Zhe viciously in his heart, even cursing his ancestors, now feeling somewhat stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Seeing the other person stride towards him, Ma Rui couldn’t help but step back until he was pressed against the wall with nowhere to retreat.
He glanced to the side and saw a metal pipe, which he quickly picked up.
Don’t you come over here,” Ma Rui exclaimed, brandishing the metal pipe.
“If you dare come closer, I’ll fight you!
You don’t want us both to get hurt, do you?”
Fang Yi ignored him and continued walking until he was right in front of Ma Rui, who immediately swung the metal pipe at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi caught it with ease.
Ma Rui tried to pull the pipe back, but it felt as though it was clamped by iron pincers.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull it free, and soon sweat appeared on Ma Rui’s forehead.
“You’re not at the level where you can hurt me,” Fang Yi said nonchalantly.
Taking advantage of Ma Rui’s distraction, he pulled the pipe out of his hands.
Then, Fang Yi took the pipe and struck Ma Rui’s forehead with it.
Ma Rui let out a shrill scream, clutching his forehead as blood seeped through his fingers.
Fang Yi’s action not only caused Ma Rui pain but also startled Xia Ziqi who was huddled in the corner.
Fang Yi was not one to cool down easily and certainly wouldn’t end things now so simply.
“Speak up, how should we handle this?” Fang Yi asked coldly.
Do you know who my brother is?
My brother is with the Shadow Alliance!” Ma Rui yelled, attempting to intimidate Fang Yi.
However, when a person’s forehead is throbbing, their reasoning is at its weakest.
Once Fang Yi became impulsive, not even the King of Heaven could stop him.
“You don’t want to say, huh?
Fine, then I’ll just cripple you,” Fang Yi said coldly.
Hearing these words, Ma Rui’s face twisted in terror, and he struggled with all his might.
Moments later, Ma Rui’s screams echoed through the room as Fang Yi crippled one of his legs – and that was just one leg.
Ma Rui had intended to assault Xia Ziqi, and if Fang Yi hadn’t arrived in time, the situation might have led to irreversible consequences.
Thus, Fang Yi thought the punishment was light.
If it had been during his days abroad, Fang Yi would have shot him dead.
this was Xuan Cang, and Fang Yi hadn’t reached the point of losing complete control just yet.
Fang Yi approached Xia Ziqi and softly asked, “Are you okay?”
Xia Ziqi pursed her lips and replied, “I’m fine.”
Without further ado, Fang Yi untied Xia Ziqi.
Her wrists bore red marks from the ropes.
She did not show her pain but rushed to Cai Cai’s side quickly.
“Cai Cai is fine, just passed out,” Fang Yi said as he picked Cai Cai up.
Then the two of them left the bedroom and entered the living room.
There, Xia Ziqi saw Liu Zhe, bleeding from the head and unconscious on the floor, which stirred complex emotions in her.
“Fang Yi, what should I do?” Xia Ziqi suddenly asked.
“If it were up to me, I would certainly kill such scum,” Fang Yi replied.
Xia Ziqi bit her lip and said, “I’ve endured his beatings so that Cai Cai wouldn’t lose her father.
But after all these years, he hasn’t changed.
He even dared to do such a thing—I see through him now!”
As she spoke, Xia Ziqi looked at Fang Yi and asked, “Can you help me one last time?”
Fang Yi nodded, “Tell me.”
“I don’t want him to bother us, mother and child, ever again.”
“I promise he won’t trouble you and your child ever again,” Fang Yi said with a smile.
Xia Ziqi’s request was an easy one for him to fulfill.
A bucket of water poured down on Liu Zhe, awakening him from his fortunate slumber and washing the blood off his face.
As he opened his eyes, what he saw was a face with an ambiguous smile, which scared Liu Zhe so much that he instinctively retreated, but a wall behind him meant he had no place to go.
Fang Yi tossed the bucket aside and then took out a document and a ballpoint pen, saying, “Sign it.”
what is this…” Liu Zhe’s voice trembled.
“A divorce agreement.”
Liu Zhe’s eyes instantly widened again, and he then yelled, “I won’t sign, I won’t sign…”
Fang Yi let out a cold laugh, set the divorce agreement and ballpoint pen to one side, then suddenly grabbed Liu Zhe’s chin, pinning his head against the wall, and said coldly, “Liu Zhe, do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?
You’ve already caused them mother and son enough misery.
Just sign the divorce agreement and you won’t have to suffer.”
Liu Zhe was full of panic, yet he bitingly said, “I won’t sign.
That’s my wife, my daughter; I absolutely won’t sign.”
Fang Yi laughed, this time not a cold one.
“Liu Zhe, you’ve used drugs before,” Fang Yi suddenly said.
Liu Zhe was as if struck by lightning, his face freezing, “How…
Fang Yi said indifferently, “I not only know that, but I also know what you’ve been using.”
The next moment, Liu Zhe was petrified.
Actually, Fang Yi had noticed that Liu Zhe had used drugs the first time he saw him, and that he was still using now.
Therefore, Fang Yi had seen all kinds and was very clear about their effects and consequences, but he had never touched any of them because he knew they were no good.
“Alright, don’t just stand there, are you going to sign this divorce agreement or not?” Fang Yi said.
This was the last time he would ask.
“Come to your senses?”
“Even if I don’t sign, you will definitely force me to.
I know I can’t escape,” Liu Zhe said through gritted teeth.
“But after I sign, can you let me go?”
Fang Yi smiled slightly, “Of course.”
In the end, Liu Zhe still signed his name on the divorce agreement.
Fang Yi secured the document and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped, turned around, and cast a glance at the dispirited Liu Zhe, saying, “I’ll give you a piece of advice, for the sake of your future life, consider going to a detox center.”
These words made Liu Zhe jolt; he never expected Fang Yi to offer such consoling advice.
Look, Fang Yi was that kind of strange person; sometimes killing someone for Fang Yi was as simple as stepping on an ant, but sometimes he would do something unpredictable, truly inscrutable.
Fang Yi passed the divorce agreement to Xia Ziqi; she took the agreement with no hesitation and signed her name.
Xia Ziqi held the agreement, looked up slightly at Fang Yi, and said, “Hungry, right?
I’ll go make some supper.”
You should go to bed early; we can talk about anything else tomorrow,” Fang Yi said with a smile, then turned around only to pivot back again, saying, “Oh, I forgot to tell you something.”
Xia Ziqi couldn’t help but ask, “What?”
Fang Yi spoke seriously and earnestly, “If you ever encounter any difficulties, you must tell me.
Never keep them from me, understand?”
Xia Ziqi was taken aback, looking at the man before her, she suddenly felt as if something she had lost before had returned.
This thing was called being moved.
And so, Xia Ziqi involuntarily nodded firmly.
