Thank you "The Last Tear" brothers for your support, thank you for your support!
Especially just now, in full view of everyone, Li Changlin did not fight back at all; he merely used both hands to protect his head. How could that possibly have injured Peng Lianpeng? Now, this guy even claims his leg is broken.
Not to mention the managers of the antique market did not believe Peng Lianpeng could be injured. Even the other onlookers had expressions of doubt on their faces.
"My, my leg is broken!" Seeing this scene, Peng Lianpeng felt so wronged he wanted to cry, and the wailing from his mouth gradually grew softer.
However, he really was in pain, his right leg indeed was broken.
When he kicked out at Li Changlin just now, Peng Lianpeng felt as if his right leg had struck steel. Then a huge rebound force broke his leg.
Every time he recalled the incident, Peng Liangpeng felt a chill in his heart.
He thought that there was no way Li Changlin had the ability to hurt him, and as for Lin Ruonan, she had been on the right side of Li Changlin at that time and could not possibly have attacked him.
Upon such reflection, there might have been a powerful expert lurking nearby, secretly attacking him.
Could it be that Lin Ruonan had powerful backers, and there were strong protectors hidden around her?
Peng Lianpeng had a throbbing headache and was beginning to regret having struck Li Changlin.
"Peng Lianpeng, your leg is broken, but what exactly happened?" After hesitating for a while, the market management staff finally approached Peng Lianpeng, squatted down next to him, and asked softly.
"My, my right leg is broken," Peng Lianpeng said through clenched teeth, his voice hoarse. At that moment, his face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.
This showed that Peng Lianpeng was indeed suffering immense pain.
The market management staff frowned slightly, getting the impression that Peng Lianpeng might not be acting.
"Could it be that the kid was pretending to be weak but is actually a tiger?" The staff member looked back at Li Changlin, who was still howling in pain.
"What’s going on?" Just then, a young man came out from the entrance of the Xingwei Antique Shop. With such a commotion outside, Jiang Xingwei finally arrived.
"Young Master Jiang, Young Master Jiang, you must avenge me!" Upon seeing Jiang Xingwei, Peng Lianpeng suddenly felt as if he had seen a family member and cried out in anguish.
"Peng Lianpeng, what happened to you, who hit you?" Jiang Xingwei quickly walked to Peng Lianpeng’s side and asked sternly.
"My, my right leg is broken." Peng Lianpeng grimaced in pain, looking up at Li Changlin with a resentful gaze.
"It was you!" Jiang Xingwei turned and glared at Li Changlin, roaring in a low voice, "Li Changlin, why did you hit my man?"
"Jiang Xingwei, don’t talk nonsense," Lin Ruonan immediately retorted angrily upon hearing Jiang Xingwei so clearly confusing right and wrong: "Everyone present can testify that Li Changlin did not make a move; it was your bodyguard who hit Li Changlin."
"That’s right, that’s right, the handsome boy didn’t hit your bodyguard at all."
"I guess he might have sprained his ankle!"
"It’s really too funny, the one who hit someone else ended up spraining his own foot."
Laughter rippled through the crowd of onlookers.
Peng Lianpeng’s face turned green with rage, his body trembling, "Young Master Jiang, this guy stole the jade pendant from our antique shop!"
At this moment, Peng Lianpeng was seething with hatred. He looked at Li Changlin with venomous eyes and said through clenched teeth.
"Damn it, Li Changlin, you actually dared to steal the jade pendant from our shop, hand it over!" Jiang Xingwei’s face turned icy as he coldly looked toward Li Changlin.
"Are you an idiot? Which eye of yours saw me stealing your shop’s jade pendant?" At this point, Li Changlin was too lazy to keep up the act.
He gently patted Lin Ruonan’s hand and then lifted his eyes to look indifferently at Jiang Xingwei, "Young Master Jiang, it is, isn’t it? Your bodyguard keeps insisting that I stole some jade pendant from your shop. I’m quite curious, do you have any evidence to prove I stole your shop’s jade pendant?"
"Evidence, of course, there will be evidence," Jiang Xingwei said with a slightly sunken expression, looking down at Peng Lianpeng.
"I saw you stealing it with my own eyes. You put the jade pendant in your left pocket," Peng Lianpeng said emphatically, pointing at Li Changlin from the ground.
"What, you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Could he really be a thief?"
"He’s so handsome, yet he’s out here stealing; what a waste."
The onlookers began to murmur among themselves, and their gazes toward Li Changlin shifted.
"You say I stole it, and that’s it? And something about my left pocket!" Li Changlin scoffed coldly, then reached his hand into his pocket.
Suddenly, he was slightly taken aback, his expression changing as well.
"No way, could he really have a jade pendant in his pocket?"
"Look, his expression has changed."
Seeing Li Changlin suddenly change his expression, everyone believed that there must definitely be a jade pendant in Li Changlin’s pocket.
"Changlin, what’s wrong?" At this moment, Lin Ruonan’s worry surfaced, and suddenly, it seemed she remembered something, "Jiang Xingwei, you’re so despicable, did you deliberately frame Li Changlin!"
"Me, framing him?" Jiang Xingwei pointed at himself, "Lin Ruonan, let’s be clear about something here. I only just found out that Li Changlin stole the jade pendant from our shop. What, now that it’s come to this, you still want to turn the tables on us?"
"Changlin, what should we do?" At this time, Lin Ruonan began to panic as well.
In her mind, Li Changlin had reached into his pocket and then didn’t take his hand out again. Surely, he must have felt there was indeed a jade pendant inside.
If that weren’t the case, Li Changlin’s face wouldn’t have turned so unsightly!
"Jiang Xingwei, you are too vile." Li Changlin gently grabbed Lin Ruonan’s hand, looking up grimly at Jiang Xingwei, "I didn’t expect that someone from the prestigious Jiang Family would be so shameless!"
"Hmph, don’t talk to me about being shameless. Li Changlin, hurry up and bring out the jade pendant from our shop. Otherwise..." Jiang Xingwei let out a cold snort, his face showing a cat-toying-with-a-mouse expression.
"Otherwise what, are you planning to hit me again?" Li Changlin also sneered, then looked down at Peng Lianpeng lying on the ground, "It’s said that heaven watches over our actions; the predicament of your bodyguard here is excellent proof of that."
"What do you mean?" Hearing this, both Peng Lianpeng on the ground and Jiang Xingwei standing, had their expressions turn extremely ugly.
"My meaning is simple: I didn’t steal the jade pendant from your shop, you deliberately set me up, defamed me. Jiang Xingwei, you owe me an explanation!" Li Changlin glared fiercely at Jiang Xingwei, but however one looked at it, he seemed a bit blustering yet apprehensive.
