Unexpected Second Chance at Love

[Qi Li?! Qi Li?! Bro, answer me if you're alright!!"]

Liu Shan's voice continues to scream from the other line of the phone that lay on the grass. However, he received no response.

"Son of a bitch!"

Ignoring the frantic screams coming from the phone, the robust man fumed with intense rage the second he tackled Qi Li down. Never in his entire life has anyone dare to attack him.

One look from him, and people cower away with their tail between their legs.

However, Qi Li didn't even flinch at the sight of him.

He (robust man) loosens his hold on Qi li and position himself upon his knees. He doesn't wait for a response and throws a punch in aim for Qi Li's head. He wants him (Qi Li) to suffer the same pain that he (robust man) relieved moments ago.

"You're gonna pay for sneaking an attack on me!!"

Qi Li's face contorted in pain. Not only did his back hit the ground hard, so did the back of his head. He had yet to even recover from the tackle when he felt the robust man's fist land on his left cheek.

A sudden sharp pain surge throughout him, and his head flung sideways to the right. The impact was so strong that it caused his glasses to knock off to the side of him, and he coughs out blood.

His eyes flash dangerously with a glimmer of light as he quickly came to his senses. He darts his head back to look at the man kneeling on top of him.

In that split second, both his arms raised in front of him. He blocks his face just as another punch lands on him.

The robust man may have caught him off guard the first time, but he won't let it happen the second time.

Seeing that the robust man wasn't going to stop, he quickly retaliates.

Just as the robust man throws another punch with his right hand, Qi Li also swings his right arm.

His fingers curl, and he clenches his hand into a tight fist. He doesn't strike the man on the face but aims straight for the side of his neck.

The robust man anticipated that he had the upper hand since he was twice the size of Qi Li.

However, it was only his wishful thinking.

"KK!!"

He felt a sharp pain, then like something blocked his bronchial tubes, he could only choke a few coughs frantically. He held his neck and rolls off of Qi Li to the side.

Feeling the heavyweight on him disappear, Qi Li abruptly rolls to the opposite side before jumping to his feet. His breathing had become heavy, and without his glasses, everything in front of him was a blur.

[Qi Li?! Can you hear me?! Hello?!"]

Suddenly hearing the faintness of Liu Shan's voice sounding from the phone, he (Qi Li) lifts his head a little. He curses inside how the assistant would ask ridiculous questions despite knowing the situation.

Did he (Liu Shan) really think he (Qi Li) could get to the phone right now?

Cursing in his head again, he looks around. He couldn't see clearly as he is practically blind without glasses, but judging from the sound, he reckoned he must have dropped the phone where he was tackled on the ground.

However, despite knowing this, he doesn't show any intentions of moving.

That is because the phone was in the direction the robust man was.

"Tsk. Not bad, kid. You have guts."

The robust man clicked his tongue when he was finally able to catch his breath again. He stood up from the ground and turned around to look at the young man.

He gathers his saliva in his mouth and spits to the side. His eyes subconsciously caught sight of the unconscious petite man, and he scoffs a malicious sneer as his attention shifts back to Qi Li.

"Do you know who I am?"

Despite Qi Li's vision unclear, he could make out the robust man's outline. He stares with an indifferent expression, not allowing one to read what he is thinking.

"I don't care who you are."

His voice sounded in matching with his expression. He calmly raises his left hand and wipes the partially dried blood on the corner of his mouth.

"You picked the wrong house to enter."

The robust man arched his eyebrows when he heard Qi Li's words. He couldn't believe that someone so young would have such courage.

He howls a burst of hysterical and sinister laughter like a villain. His posture straightens as he sizes the young man in front of him.

"You don't care now, but don't go crying to your mother after I teach you a lesson."

He was full of confidence now. Before, he 'was acting scared because he thought Qi Li was a ghost. However, now that he knows the figure is human, he has nothing to fear.

Giving a glance at the unconscious petite man, he scoffs inside in ridicule.

Didn't he (Petit? Man) swear to get revenge for Xiao? If so, then why was he knocked out so quickly?

Quickly as the thought came to him. he quickly discards it to the back of

his head. He looks back at Qi Li, and his entire being turns serious. Since they had both snuck behind each other, he'll call it even. This time, he won't let Qi Li touch a single hair on him.

Taking a step forward to close the distance between them, he howls another laughter—however, this time, more menacing than the first.

"Kid, I hope you're as c.o.c.ky as you think you are. You're going to know what it's like to mess with a beast from the underworld."

Qi Li's expression never changed. Even when the person he is facing happens to be intimidating and twice his size, he kept his composure.

"I only fear one person in my life." My boss.

He spoke coldly but spoke the two remaining words in his head. No matter how strong his opponent is, never will they give him the same terrifying chill his boss can.

"But that person is not you."

* crack-

Qi Li's last word had only fallen when a sudden crackling sound echoes into the night sky. His eyes dim dangerously, and he glances down to the source of the sound.

"Oh."

The robust man gasps and stops in his steps. His eyes sightly widen like

he was in great shock due to the sound as it came from under his foot.

His head lowers, and he looks down at the ground. He slightly raises his right foot, and an atrocious smirk curls on his lip when he saw the broken glasses.

"Oops. It seems like you won't be needing these anymore."

He chuckles mockingly and steps on the glasses. He also didn't forget to add more pressure to smash it more.

Qi Li remained unfazed at what the robust man was doing. However, his eyes did not move away from the man's blurry right foot.

The crackling sounds continue as they entered Qi Li's ears. He looks up at the man's face, and he parts his lips.

"You're gonna regret doing that."
