With his call, several burly men emerged from the abandoned, unfinished building, ranging in age from twenty to fifty.
"Brother Zhou! Where's the stunning beauty?" the men who emerged asked one after the other, their hearts already drooling in anticipation.
They had been summoned by a taxi driver surnamed Zhou, mainly to help him control Lin Yifan and capture that peerless beauty.
"She's in the car! Hurry over and help subdue this guy first," the taxi driver surnamed Zhou called out.
So, these burly men strode over excitedly, unable to suppress the thrill in their hearts.
At that moment, Lin Yifan in the car let out a cold snort, utterly disdainful.
Then, he opened the car door on his own, stepped out of the vehicle, and confronted the men with a domineering stance.
Watching this scene, the taxi driver surnamed Zhou sneered mockingly, "Well, well! You've even got the guts to get out of the car, it looks like we've got to deal with you properly!"
"Hmph! Merely a few curs, what's there to fear about getting out?" Lin Yifan chuckled coldly in response, fearless.
Staring at Lin Yifan's indifferent expression and the murderous aura he exuded, the taxi driver surnamed Zhou felt a creeping unease.
In such a situation, most people would give in to fear and back down, but he hadn't expected Lin Yifan to remain so calm in the face of these burly men.
There could only be three reasons for this: one was that Lin Yifan was foolish, which was clearly not the case; another was a bluff to scare them, which was highly likely; and the last was that he truly had the strength and wasn't afraid of them.
Out of these three scenarios, Zhou leaned more toward the second one, so the next moment, he and the other brothers charged to gang up on Lin Yifan.
"Dare to call us curs? Die!"
The men bellowed in rage, filled with indignation. They had originally intended to deal with Lin Yifan gently and with Light Foot, but it seemed unnecessary now.
Subsequently, they raised their fists with gritted teeth and threw heavy punches straight at Lin Yifan's face.
Looking at this development, Lin Yifan gently lifted his leg and kicked out.
The motion looked casual and effortless, but it was actually faster than a bullet and stronger than a sledgehammer; hence the man in the lead hadn't even landed his punch on Lin Yifan's face before he was sent flying by the kick, ending up on the ground severely injured and unable to rise.
Seeing this disheartening and terrifying outcome, the burly men following close behind swallowed nervously, startled.
However, in the end, temptation overcame fear, so the next moment, they fearlessly charged forward again.
Watching these men who only knew how to throw fancy punches and intimidate with bluster, Lin Yifan shook his head helplessly, sighing repeatedly. These types no longer posed any harm or threat to him. He needed only one foot to effortlessly handle them.
Thus, he bound his hands behind his back and used just his right leg to deal with the burly men.
With each sound that rang out, a sturdy man was kicked away; in a matter of seconds, he had dealt with these burly men.
At this moment, the ground was filled with their howls as each of them clutched their bellies, screaming in agony.
Lin Yifan walked straight up to the taxi driver surnamed Zhou and met his gaze coldly.
Seeing Lin Yifan's deadly gaze, the taxi driver with the surname Zhou felt his heart turn to fuzz, terrified to the extreme.
Now, he regretted it, truly regretted it; he had not anticipated that Lin Yifan was such a strong person, able to handle seven or eight burly men with just one foot. If he had known how formidable Lin Yifan was, he would never have entertained such a crooked idea.
"Big brother! I was wrong! Please don't kill me! I beg you, don't kill me! I have elderly parents and young children at home, I can't just fall !" The surname Zhou taxi driver kept pleading, his back drenched in cold sweat, and he was utterly terrified.
"You only think of your elderly parents and young children now? Why didn't you think of that when you were doing this? It's utterly laughable," Lin Yifan said with a face full of mockery, then lifted his foot and stomped, breaking the surname Zhou taxi driver's leg.
He had always been merciless to those who harbored crooked thoughts towards his woman, no matter how pitiful they seemed, it was no excuse.
"Ahh!!!" The surname Zhou taxi driver screamed with all his might, wailing miserably, writhing in extreme pain.
"I told you earlier, it's already too late to not want to be disabled. Now I'm just fulfilling my promise. This is a lesson, I hope you'll remember this foot the next time you have crooked thoughts," Lin Yifan stated.
After saying that, Lin Yifan took the taxi driver's cellphone and car keys, then drove away.
The taxi driver cursed under his breath, never expecting that his attempt to steal would lead to such a loss. Now he truly was disabled and could never drive for a living again.
"What crooked thoughts! What crooked thoughts…"
He kept slapping his own face to engrave this lesson deeply in his memory.
Once the car started moving, Xiao Fang, concerned, asked, "Yifan! Are you okay? Have you been hurt?"
"If those punks could hurt me, I wouldn't have any business being in the Cultivation World," Lin Yifan replied.
"I'm glad you're fine!" Feeling reassured, Xiao Fang then asked, "Yifan, where are we heading now?"
"Of course, we're going to the Ye Gui Xiang Auction Event," Lin Yifan answered.
"But do you know the way?" Xiao Fang asked somewhat worriedly.
"I don't know, but the cellphone does! Just go online and search lightly, and you can find it," Lin Yifan said, taking out the surname Zhou taxi driver's cellphone and telling Xiao Fang who was sitting in the back.
That was why he had taken the cellphone before leaving. He had unlocked it before setting off, so now he could go online to look up information.
"What is a cellphone? How does it know?" Xiao Fang asked curiously.
"It is a smart communication tool. It can make calls, chat, watch videos and movies, and it can look up information online among other functions. It has become a necessity in modern life and work," Lin Yifan explained.
"There are so many, such magical functions? I really want to buy one to play with!" Xiao Fang expressed her longing, extremely eager.
"After we wake An Qi up, I'll ask her to give you one. Her family sells cellphones, and they have many of these smart phones," Lin Yifan responded.
"Really?" Xiao Fang asked, filled with curiosity.
"Really," Lin Yifan affirmed sincerely.
"That's great! I'll have a cellphone to play with then!" Xiao Fang exclaimed excitedly.
Ever since she had arrived in this modern society, she had been captivated by the technological wonders of this society and was very eager to dissect and explore them. Chapters first released on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Looking at Xiao Fang's innocent and radiant smile, Lin Yifan smiled slightly and then swiftly moved forward.
Following the route shown on the cellphone's map, he quickly drove the car to the Ye Gui Xiang Auction Event located in the central district of Capital Yanjing.
