Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Can't Help But Kill Him [Second Update]
Li Xiaoyao didn't know what issues Lili had with Tang Tiantian, as he took out his cellphone to call Tang Tiantian. The phone was answered after just one ring.
"I've arrived, where are you?" he asked.
"I'm in the office... Ah, what are you doing?" Tang Tiantian was midway through speaking when suddenly, the manager in front of her lunged at her, tearing at her clothes.
In the chaos, her phone fell to the ground.
Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his thoughts swiftly encompassing the floor of the mall, and almost instantly, he located Tang Tiantian.
Under the mantle of his thoughts, he also saw clearly that the manager, with his dog-like appearance, was forcefully tearing at Tang Tiantian's clothes.
"Call emergency services," Li Xiaoyao suddenly instructed Zhao Ge.
Zhao Ge was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why call emergency services?"
As Li Xiaoyao strode toward the manager's office, he replied with a cold voice, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from beating him to death!"
Zhao Ge noted the murderous tone in Li Xiaoyao's voice and thought to himself, what on earth did this manager do to provoke Li Xiaoyao to such fury?
Lili watched Li Xiaoyao walk away and murmured softly, "A man like this, I won't give up on easily. Tiantian, thank you for bringing me such a great man."
It took Li Xiaoyao only a few breaths' time to reach the manager's office door. He lifted his foot and kicked the door open violently, then under the stunned gaze of the manager, he walked over and kicked him in the head.
The next moment, the manager passed out.
"Did you call emergency services?" Li Xiaoyao looked down at the unconscious manager and asked.
Zhao Ge replied with a bitter smile, "No."
"Then don't bother calling," said Li Xiaoyao as he pulled out his phone and called the well-endowed policewoman Zhu Xiaoyue. Without preamble, he asked, "Is this part of the city under your jurisdiction?"
Zhu Xiaoyue had thought Li Xiaoyao was calling her to treat Officer Zhang's wife, not expecting such a sudden question.
"Have you caused trouble again?" Although Zhu Xiaoyue hadn't interacted deeply with Li Xiaoyao, she knew he was a troublemaker; there was never peace where he was involved.
"Some blind beast laid hands on my woman, and I've knocked him out cold. Of course, it was self-defense. If you're free, come on over. After all, if scum like this doesn't get taught a lesson, other women will suffer in the future," Li Xiaoyao explained.
Zhu Xiaoyue was speechless, realizing that he had indeed hit someone, yet he sounded completely justified in doing so.
However, she also knew that Li Xiaoyao had a strong sense of justice deep in his bones. Since he dared to make this call, it meant he must be on the side of righteousness in this matter.
Zhu Xiaoyue sighed and asked, "Where are you? I'll come now."
After Li Xiaoyao gave her the address, he hung up the phone.
Tang Tiantian leaned against Li Xiaoyao's chest, her clothes somewhat torn but thankfully not too severely.
Li Xiaoyao stroked her hair and said, "I'll arrange for a bodyguard for you from now on. If such scum dares to touch you again, have the bodyguard cripple him."
Tang Tiantian wasn't too scared, probably because she knew Li Xiaoyao could arrive straight away.
"You're my bodyguard," said Tang Tiantian sweetly.
Li Xiaoyao chuckled bitterly and replied, "I forgot to tell you, our chairman has hired me as her bodyguard for an annual salary of five million."
"Ah!" Tang Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "Five million? Five million a year, that's so high?"
Zhao Ge, who was nearby, also showed some surprise upon hearing this. He knew Li Xiaoyao was a martial artist, but he wasn't clear on just how formidable Li Xiaoyao truly was.
Still, to be hired as a bodyguard for an annual salary of five million suggested that his skills must be quite exceptional.
"Is it high?" Li Xiaoyao laughed, not at all concerned as he said, "If I weren't tight on money right now, I wouldn't work as her bodyguard for five million, not even fifty million."
Tang Tiantian only thought that Li Xiaoyao was bragging, but in fact, Li Xiaoyao wasn't exaggerating at all.
Given his glittering experiences as a mercenary, an annual salary of fifty million was low rather than high.
The saying "Even a tiger can be bullied by a dog when it's on flat ground" applied here, though Li Xiaoyao hadn't fallen low enough to be bullied by dogs, he was indeed troubled by money.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sold himself for just five million.
Li Xiaoyao and the others waited in the office for about fifteen minutes when the manager, whom Li Xiaoyao had knocked out, suddenly woke up.
The manager climbed up from the ground, still dizzy, but he knew exactly what had happened.
Pointing at Li Xiaoyao, the manager furiously cursed, "Bastard, you dare hit me!"
Li Xiaoyao looked down at him coldly, and without another word, he started to fiercely kick the manager in the head, who let out pitiful cries.
Li Xiaoyao was holding back his strength; otherwise, a single kick could have sent the manager off to meet the King of Hell with his slight frame.
After a dozen or so kicks, the manager lay on the ground, only able to exhale and not inhale.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and several police cars arrived, stopping in front of the mall.
Zhu Xiaoyue got out of the car, and seven or eight police officers also disembarked from the other vehicles.
Zhu Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "Follow me inside."
Zhu Xiaoyue led a team of police officers into the mall and into the office.
Seeing the manager unconscious at Li Xiaoyao's feet, Zhu Xiaoyue didn't even ask any questions and directly ordered the manager to be arrested and taken back to the station for interrogation.
Before leaving, Li Xiaoyao approached Zhu Xiaoyue and whispered, "Thanks."
Zhu Xiaoyue turned her head to look at him, then glanced at Tang Tiantian beside him and said, "Wait for my call."
After Zhu Xiaoyue left, Li Xiaoyao and the others also departed.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Let's find a place to eat something."
In the restaurant, the three of them ordered a table full of dishes.
Li Xiaoyao's voracious eating scared both Tang Tiantian and Zhao Ge.
"Xiaoyao, are you sure you're okay eating like that?" Even Zhao Ge, who was worldly-wise, was afraid for Li Xiaoyao's stomach as he watched him eat as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated.
"No problem, no problem, this is barely enough to fill the gaps between my teeth," Li Xiaoyao waved off the concern and continued to devour his food.
After nearly cleaning out the dishes on the table, Li Xiaoyao pulled Tang Tiantian closer and whispered in her ear, "Go to the bank and withdraw twenty thousand in Xuan Country Currency in cash."
Tang Tiantian took the bank card, didn't ask why, and stood up to look for a bank.
Li Xiaoyao watched Tang Tiantian leave the restaurant, then turned his gaze to Zhao Ge and asked, "When can your former comrades get here?"
Zhao Ge inquired, "Are you in a hurry?"
Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Old Zhao, if your comrades come, you can have them work at the company, the salary will be as much as I previously mentioned to you. If they want to make money, they can work with me. You can tell them this, and let them decide for themselves."
Zhao Ge asked, "Work with you? Doing what?"
Li Xiaoyao, knowing that Zhao Ge was also interested, smiled and said, "I have some businesses in San Tiao Alley, but I don't have many people I can trust. If your comrades come, they'll mainly work on security. Of course, occasionally they'll definitely have to deal with some issues. After all, people often come to make trouble at these places."
Zhao Ge nodded and said, "I'll talk to them."
