Chapter 2508: Chapter 2572: Ruffian
Li Yifei smashed the flowerpot with one punch while grabbing Father Su with the other hand. The flowerpot didn’t hit Father Su but was knocked to the side. Li Yifei turned around quickly and looked up at where the flowerpot came from, only to see a head retreating from a window on the fourth floor.
"Dad, are you okay?" Su Yiyi hurriedly ran over and asked.
"I’m fine, I’m fine," Father Su, still a bit shaken, looked up with lingering fear. Several elderly residents also rushed over; they all lived here. One old lady immediately recognized whose house it was, looking a bit displeased, she shouted up, "Zhao Liuzi, you reckless fool, are you trying to kill yourself? How dare you throw such a big flowerpot down!"
Before Li Yifei could speak, a shout came from the fourth floor, "Fuck your mom, I threw it, so what? Consider yourself lucky I didn’t smash you to death!"
Li Yifei wasn’t too angry at first, thinking it might have accidentally fallen, after all, he had already broken the flowerpot and no real harm was done. Fortunately, he was there, otherwise, Father Su would have had a bloody disaster today.
However, looking up again, Li Yifei realized this was no accident. With the other party cursing so openly, Li Yifei understood it was deliberate.
If it wasn’t intentional, an apology would have sufficed, after all, they lived in the same neighborhood. But this was blatant attempted murder, and that was another matter. Li Yifei saw the person retreat again but the cursing didn’t stop, so he said to Su Yiyi, "Yiyi, take Dad to the car first, I’ll go handle this."
"Okay!" Su Yiyi didn’t stop Li Yifei. If not for his intervention, that flowerpot would have hit her father’s head directly. What kind of grudge would drive someone to do something like this?
Su Yiyi looked very upset, and Father Su moved his mouth but did not stop Li Yifei.
"Young man, that guy is Zhao Liuzi, he lazes around all day, never doing anything right. He’s the worst in our area, does all sorts of things. A few days ago, he knocked on your dad’s door at night, yelling about borrowing money. Your dad didn’t lend to him, so he harbored resentment; who knew he’d go mad today and attempt murder..." the old lady quietly explained.
Li Yifei nodded and said, "I’ll go ask what he means by this!"
"Um... young man, maybe you should call the police. That Zhao Liuzi is a bit wild, he’s even capable of stabbing someone!" an old man pulled Li Yifei aside and whispered. They all lived here, and many had been bullied by Zhao Liuzi to some extent. But since Li Yifei had just helped solve a big problem for them, they couldn’t help but warn him.
"It’s okay," Li Yifei shook his head and walked into the stairwell. This building was even filthier inside, Li Yifei could smell a strong stench of urine as soon as he entered, not knowing who had done it. As for the rotting smell and such, it filled the air.
On the third floor, Li Yifei still heard cursing. Zhao Liuzi seemed full of resentment, spewing filth from his mouth. Li Yifei quickly made his way upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Fuck your mom, who is it?" The cursing stopped, and Zhao Liuzi came to the door shouting.
"Looking for you," Li Yifei said.
"Oh, you actually dared to come up, huh? What, driving a crappy car makes you think you’re something? You don’t even know who I, Zhao Liuzi, am!" Zhao Liuzi’s voice came from inside. However, he seemed only brave enough to shout from within, refusing to open the door no matter how much Li Yifei asked, just yelling from inside.
"I’ll give you one more chance, if you don’t open the door, bear the consequences yourself!" Li Yifei warned.
"Fuck, you’re something else, today I’m not opening the door. Let me tell you, breaking into someone’s home is illegal. If you dare come in, I’ll chop you to death!" Zhao Liuzi arrogantly stated.
Li Yifei didn’t bother arguing with this kind of person. He directly kicked out. Zhao Liuzi’s door was one of those flimsy iron doors. Li Yifei’s foot landed on the lock and actually made the door cave in. This force... even a professional door-breaking hammer couldn’t do this. With the second kick, Li Yifei knocked the door down.
Inside the room, Zhao Liuzi, wearing a tattered sweater and bare-chested, was cursing merrily, but he didn’t expect the other party to actually kick the door down. He was so frightened he almost couldn’t react.
But Zhao Liuzi was a scoundrel with nothing to lose. Besides this house, he had nothing, no kids, no wife—his wife couldn’t stand him and left with someone a few years ago—his parents long dead, leaving him alone. Thus, he acted even more recklessly. In this area, filled mostly with the old, weak, and sick, they all basically put up with him. This made Zhao Liuzi increasingly brazen, even bullying nearby elderly and demanding protection money from them.
This kind of hooligan is the lowest level, they exist in many villages and towns. Most of them bluff and don’t truly want to risk their lives. However, some do, like Zhao Liuzi, who belongs to the former category. Even if others die, he would not bear to, nor dare to, so he just pretends. Seeing Li Yifei kick the door and come in, Zhao Liuzi felt scared in his heart, though he still wanted to act tough.
"Damn it, dare to come in and try, I’ll cut you to death right away!" Zhao Liuzi turned to grab a kitchen knife and angrily pointed at Li Yifei!
Li Yifei pushed the door open, stepping in. The room had a very unpleasant odor, so Li Yifei held his breath. The floor was littered with various trash. Glancing at Zhao Liuzi, Li Yifei gave a faint smile and said, "Explain it then, you were just committing attempted murder."
"Attempted murder? Screw you..." Zhao Liuzi was about to explode when the words didn’t even get out before a burning pain spread across his face. He spun around two circles on the spot; it was because Li Yifei had slapped him. Zhao Liuzi didn’t even know where the knife went. By the time he recovered, his expression changed immediately, and he retreated, mumbling, "Don’t come over... if you do, I’ll call the police!"
"Call the police? Let me help you!" Seeing him like this, Li Yifei also realized he was just bluffing, so he didn’t bother arguing. Speaking, he picked up the phone, ready to dial the number. This was not to scare him but to genuinely call the police.
Seeing Li Yifei get serious, Zhao Liuzi’s expression changed, and he quickly said, "Wait, wait, I... I was wrong just now. I was going to move the flower pot, but it slipped because I didn’t hold it well, and it accidentally fell down!"
"Pa!" Another slap, not even using his hand this time. Li Yifei grabbed a plank and slapped it over. Zhao Liuzi’s head hit the pile of garbage, and now the other side of his face swelled up. Stunned by the beating, Zhao Liuzi had never met someone who wouldn’t even give him a chance to speak and came in swinging hard.
"Stop hitting, I was wrong, I was the one who threw, it was my fault!" Zhao Liuzi lifted his head from the ground and begged for mercy when he saw Li Yifei still holding the plank.
"Too late!" Li Yifei swung the plank again. Zhao Liuzi blocked with his arm but ended up with a cracking sound. His arm immediately went limp, and Zhao Liuzi let out a murderous scream, writhing on the ground in pain.
Li Yifei disdainfully threw away the plank, this kind of person really wasn’t worth feeling sorry for. Li Yifei found it hard to sympathize with him.
"Go ahead and hit me, unless you kill me, or your father is done for. I live here. He’ll come back sooner or later, and when he does, I’ll kill him!" Zhao Liuzi spat out a mouthful of blood and suddenly cleared his head, glaring with wide eyes.
Outside the door, several elders crowded in the third-floor hallway, listening to the sounds inside. Seeing Li Yifei take action, the elderly folks were startled, then they listened to the conversation, glancing at each other unsure whether to intervene.
Li Yifei sneered coldly, saying, "Still dare to threaten me. I originally just wanted to teach you a lesson, but now it seems I can’t let you go so easily."
"Screw you...pa!" Zhao Liuzi got up to curse but saw a shadow looming that he couldn’t evade. His chest exploded with pain, and he couldn’t catch his breath. A huge sense of faintness hit him, Zhao Liuzi crashed against the wall, recovering after dozens of seconds, gasping heavily and gritting his teeth fiercely, "If you have the guts, kill me; otherwise, I’ll chop your dad to death, hahaha, I’ll kill him!"
"I’ll make you suffer worse than death; I always keep my word!" Li Yifei squatted down and said coldly, which seemed to frighten Zhao Liuzi. After a few seconds, he said, "The knife is there, chop me!"
"Kill you? You’re not even worth it, but I promise to make your life worse than death!" Li Yifei said, then stood up. Zhao Liuzi was about to curse out again but was kicked in the throat by Li Yifei. The sound was suppressed back, and Zhao Liuzi’s eyes bulged; his head tilted over.
Walking out the door, Li Yifei stood at a slightly clean spot at the entrance, wiped the blood inadvertently stained on his shoes. Such a hooligan, Li Yifei really didn’t care at all. But the opponent dared threaten his father-in-law. Even if it’s bluffing, as long as it was said, Li Yifei had to deal with him and definitely wouldn’t give him a chance to carry out the threat, even if it’s fake.
Can’t gamble with family’s safety, as for Zhao Liuzi, he deserved his fate. Such a person, Li Yifei dealt with him justly. He called Li family’s security to arrange something. Li Yifei pulled the door shut. Zhao Liuzi was hit in his body’s Qi Point, unable to move for one or two hours, even if he could move, he couldn’t go far—enough time for Li family’s security to handle him.
Hearing footsteps, several old men and women waiting on the third floor were stunned. Seeing Li Yifei come down, they hurriedly asked, "How was it? Young man, did you hit him?"
"It’s fine, I called the police, they’ll be here to deal with it." Li Yifei said.
"That Zhao Liuzi is such a hooligan, it’s not good to get involved with him. Oh, young man, don’t let your father come back here again. Conditions here are too bad; he’s getting on in age, not good for his health, let him enjoy life." The old woman advised.
Li Yifei nodded with a smile, "Okay, I’ll listen to you!"
