CHAPTER 444: 156 AUNT ZHAO’S COMPROMISE ✩✩✩✩✩ ZAIZAI, HOLD ONTO YOUR AUNT TIGHTLY!

Zhao Liang glared at He Tingting, his eyes filled with rage. She actually knew Li Zhiyan?

All along, Zhao Liang forbade He Tingting from speaking to other men because his wife was too beautiful.

Anyone in the village who dared talk to Zhao Liang’s wife would find themselves beaten up by him at their doorstep.

Hearing He Tingting call Li Zhiyan "Xiao Yan," his rage burned even hotter. Just what was the relationship between these two?

Today, he had to use the rattan cane to properly punish He Tingting! Zhao Liang, who was no longer functioning well, had grown increasingly twisted. Fearing that He Tingting might cheat on him, he often whipped her until her body was covered in wounds, leaving her too humiliated to even think about going out to cheat.

Seeing Li Zhiyan berate him now, Zhao Liang threw a punch at him!

Inside the house, Zhao Shumin gripped the knife in her hand tightly. She had made up her mind: if anything happened to Li Zhiyan, she’d risk her life to take down Zhao Liang with her!

In this world, Zhao Shumin no longer had any other family. To her, Li Zhiyan was practically her entire world now.

Watching Zhao Liang throw a punch at him, Li Zhiyan, who was recording everything, felt an exhilarating rush. An unrestricted fighting match was about to begin!

Effortlessly dodging the aggressive punch, Li Zhiyan lunged forward and struck Zhao Liang’s wrist with his fist.

As the punch connected, Zhao Liang felt as though his wrist had been smashed by a hammer.

A wave of searing pain shot through him, and he let out a cry of agony.

In the village, Zhao Liang was known as the bully who had fought everyone, with no one able to defeat him. But Li Zhiyan’s speed far exceeded human limits.

Every move Zhao Liang made appeared painfully slow in Li Zhiyan’s eyes!

After delivering the punch to Zhao Liang’s wrist, Li Zhiyan followed up with a kick to Zhao Liang’s stomach.

"Bang!"

With a muffled grunt, Zhao Liang was sent flying, his head smashing heavily against the wall.

Zhao Liang’s son, Zhao Zhihao, wanted to help, but the moment he met Li Zhiyan’s gaze, his legs turned to jelly in fear.

Because of Zhao Liang, Zhao Zhihao had been accustomed to acting arrogantly in the village. He had stolen money from or beaten up his playmates, but now, faced with someone as tough as Li Zhiyan—

He froze on the spot, collapsing to the ground, trembling all over.

"Aunt Zhao, call the police!"

Everything happened so fast. When He Tingting finally came to her senses, she saw Zhao Liang on the ground howling in pain after being beaten.

She could hardly believe it—Li Zhiyan was actually this skilled at fighting!

"You little bastard!"

Zhao Liang, however, was a tough character. Bearing the pain, he got up again and grabbed a flower pot nearby to use as a weapon, ready to smash it over Li Zhiyan’s head.

Seeing that Zhao Liang still wanted to put up a fight, Li Zhiyan felt even more exhilarated. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and delivered another kick!

Zhao Liang was once again sent sprawling more than a meter away. This time, he fell to the ground, completely incapacitated and unable to put up any further resistance!

After saving the recording as evidence, Li Zhiyan placed his foot on Zhao Liang’s face.

"This is a society governed by law, not some remote mountain where you can beat people as you please!"

"If you dare bark like a dog around my Aunt Zhao again, I’ll beat you every time I see you!"

Staring up at Li Zhiyan’s fierce gaze, Zhao Liang, despite the immense hatred in his heart, found himself unable to speak a single word.

Hearing the resolute tone in Li Zhiyan’s voice, Zhao Shumin’s tears nearly fell. She could feel it deep down.

Li Zhiyan genuinely cared for her deeply. All the meals she cooked for him every day, all the affection she showed him—none of it was in vain.

Within ten minutes, the police arrived at the scene.

After Li Zhiyan explained the situation and provided the video as evidence, Zhao Liang was detained on the spot after a statement was taken at the police station.

When Li Zhiyan and Zhao Shumin left the police station, the sky was already quite dark.

"Xiao Yan..."

Seeing Zhao Shumin still shaken, Li Zhiyan pulled her into an embrace by the roadside.

"Aunt Zhao, it’s all over now. Everything’s fine."

"I was just so scared something might happen to you. When you started fighting with him, I was really terrified that something might happen to you."

Thinking of how Li Zhiyan had defended her, Zhao Shumin couldn’t help but feel deeply touched.

"Aunt, don’t worry. Do you really think I can’t take down an old man like that?"

"I couldn’t just stand by and watch someone bully you, could I?"

"Xiao Yan..."

With tears gathering in her eyes, Zhao Shumin looked as though she might cry at any moment. Seeing this, Li Zhiyan quickly hugged her tightly.

Holding her closely, their bodies fitting perfectly together, Li Zhiyan spoke softly, "It’s okay now, Aunt. You don’t need to be sad. It’s all in the past, and I’ll protect you no matter what. I won’t ever let anyone hurt you."

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan cupped Aunt Zhao’s face in his hands and leaned in slowly toward her lips.

"Xiao Yan, let’s save that for when we’re back home at night."

"I’m all sweaty and smell bad."

"It’s fine, Aunt. You smell the best to me."

Feeling the warmth of Aunt Zhao’s breath, Li Zhiyan could no longer hold back. He pressed his lips to hers.

"Mmh... You naughty boy..."

Wrapping her arms around Li Zhiyan’s waist, Zhao Shumin kissed him back passionately.

It was a long time before they finally pulled apart.

"Xiao Yan, let’s go home."

Moved by the fiery passion radiating from Li Zhiyan, Zhao Shumin just wanted to return home as soon as possible.

"Aunt, will you stay with me tonight? I miss you so much, Aunt."

Li Zhiyan whispered into Zhao Shumin’s ear, causing her face to flush red and her body to grow increasingly hot.
