Rong Yi gave her a faint smile, instantly like spring blossoms blooming and celestial music playing in harmony...
"Cousin, don't worry about me." His voice was low and slightly husky, paired with a light smirk at the corner of his lips, exceptionally alluring.
"Rong Yi..."
Qiqi felt as if she had been suddenly hit by a freezing spell, her entire body frozen in place, heat surging through her veins, a constant roar in her ears—ahhh! A beauty to topple nations!
Such was the power of charm.
Not just her, but everyone present held their breath in an instant, motionless, as if all struck by a magical curse.
Yet the tall, slender man leaped up under the watchful eyes of the crowd!
With a "whoosh," a swift black shadow flashed through the air, drawing gasps from everyone...
Then, Rong Yi stood atop the high bulldozer's canopy, looking down coldly at the muscle-bound man.
"How... how did you get up there?"
Through the windshield, the muscle-bound man suddenly broke into a sweat—under the cold gaze of the man in black, he felt an immense pressure bearing down through the air, and the foul words on the tip of his tongue were choked off in his throat.
Rong Yi's eyes were like knives, slowly cutting through, and the muscle-bound man nearly knelt in the driver's seat.
The Wolf King slowly extended his fist, his deep voice ringing out, like gold and jade, carrying immense authority—
"From now on, don't come bullying the people again; otherwise, this will be your fate—"
The crowd fell silent.
Then, as if a deity had finished proclaiming a sacred decree, he slammed his fist heavily against the windshield!
With a loud "bang," the entire bulldozer shuddered! Then, the wide, thick windshield sprouted radial cracks, like a giant white spider web suddenly appearing!
Everyone present gasped!
Director Liu, seeing this, was stunned at first, then jumped three feet in fury (impressive for someone so fat): "Who are you! How dare you damage state property!"
The Wolf King suddenly turned his head, fixing a cold stare on him.
Director Liu's arrogance immediately deflated by three points: "Damaging state property means jail time..."
The Wolf King narrowed his eyes slightly and countered, "And what about damaging the people's property?"
Director Liu's voice turned stammering: "We, we're just following policy..."
The Wolf King pressed on: "What's more important, policy or the people?"
Director Liu: "..."
Whether in presence or eloquence, Director Liu was no match for the Wolf King; and with the neighbors' morale high, inciting public anger could ruin his political career!
After much deliberation, Director Liu decided to temporarily retreat with the demolition team.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw out a threat: "Just you wait, I'll be back—"
Pfft, do you think you're Big Big Wolf?
Qiqi sneered, then excitedly rushed forward to hug the Wolf King's neck: "Rong Yi, you're so handsome, so handsome! So incredibly handsome, hoo hoo..."
The neighbors surrounded Rong Yi and Qiqi, erupting in cheers.
※※※
Rong Yi became famous overnight, winning over every man present with his formidable skills, captivating every woman with his peerless charm, and single-handedly driving back the violent demolition team with his bare hands, thus effortlessly becoming the biggest celebrity, battle hero, and youth idol of the entire old town... So, wherever he went, he was always surrounded by a crowd of fans.
After the incident, Qiqi specially took leave from school and stayed home on high alert—first, to guard against retaliation from the demolition team, and second, to manage the Wolf King's fan base. A week passed quickly, with no movement from Director Liu's side, but instead, neighbors came by daily to build rapport, aunties constantly inquired about Rong Yi's situation, little girls peeked through windows, and kids staged full-on martial arts performances... leaving Qiqi on edge, wishing she could hide Rong Yi in the cellar.
