But just as I got up, I was kicked back to the corner. This time, no matter how much effort I put in, I couldn't get up. My heart was filled with despair. 'Am I really going to die here this time?'

The burly man was the one in the lead. Naturally, he was the first to come forward to teach me a lesson. He reached out his hand towards me with a lewd smile, and turned his head to tell the subordinate beside him, "Bring me my whip, I want to let her have a taste of the consequences of offending our sister."

"Sure, please, boss."

The lackey next to him saw that it was a young man in his early twenties, so he responded with a mischievous smile and threw out a whip as thick as his finger.

The leader of the men received it and first gave it a few fierce slaps on the ground, which made a 'da da da' sound. That sound was like a psychological shadow to me.

I couldn't forget the memory of my foster mother beating me, the memory of being beaten in the barber's shop when I was almost sold.

"Pah!"

As my thoughts wandered away, the leader of the men ruthlessly whipped my body. Instantly, a bloody wound appeared on my wrist, causing me to gasp in pain.

"Yeah, this could also be considered a type of lesson."

"Hou Zi, don't forget. Yi'jie specifically told you not to destroy this woman's place. She was planning on giving this woman to Director Zhang to earn some money from it."

"Damn it, I can see but not eat. How depressing."

"What's the hurry? It's not too late to let people play with you for a bit before eating. "

Listening to these people, I was completely disappointed in Wandering. The feelings of the past disappeared with a single whipping.

I don't know how long I was beaten like this, until I lost consciousness

When I woke up, I felt a splitting headache. The wounds all over my body made me feel as if I could move at will.

When I finally opened my eyes, all I could see was white flowers and the pungent smell of disinfectant. I looked down at myself and quickly found that I was lying on a bed. There was no one around me.

I tried to get up, but the wounds all over my body made it difficult for me to move.

Look, in this unfamiliar place where there is only one person in the world, as long as I fall down on my own, there will be no one who can take care of me.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel sad. This was the first time I felt a little lonely in this city. My tears unconsciously crawled up the corners of my eyes. I really didn't know where to go from here.

"You're awake?"

Just when I was feeling depressed over it all by myself, I couldn't extricate myself from the sadness. Li Tianyi walked in from the ward with an indifferent expression on his face. After he walked in, he pulled over a chair and sat down in front of my bed without saying anything.

I was stunned, I never thought that we would meet at this time, or under such circumstances, the tears immediately stopped flowing. Lowering my head to cover my weakness, I coughed lightly and pretended that nothing was wrong as I asked, "Director Li, why are you here?"

In fact, I don't know what happened after I fainted.

Upon hearing my words, Li Tianyi lightly raised his eyebrows, "I would actually like to ask you, how did you end up like this?"

His words left me speechless. I could only smile bitterly as I thought to myself, I really want to know how I ended up in such a state.

But there was no point in pursuing these matters now, so I paused before asking, "Did you save me?"

It was unclear what was wrong with my question. When Li Yingyi heard it, his previously calm expression instantly darkened and he looked at me strangely.

I looked at him in bewilderment, but I didn't pursue him further. Instead, I quietly waited for his reply.

The silent atmosphere lasted for a long time. Finally, Li Yingyi nodded, and his voice sounded very depressed, "Yes. "We were in the middle of a business negotiation when we saw you being carried by a group of men to Director Zhang's room in the parking lot."

After Li Tianyi said this, he stopped speaking. I was terrified in my heart. I really couldn't imagine what would have happened if Li Tianyi hadn't coincidentally met with this scene and saved me from such a merciful situation.

He might even lose his life.

"Thank you."

I admit that after hearing Li Tianyi's words, my heart is not without ripples, but the only choice I have is to face it calmly. I am even more clear that when I return to Huadu, Wandering will definitely not let me go because of the pain I've suffered.

Thinking up to this point, I felt a headache, but I still maintained my rationality and softly said this to Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi raised his eyebrows and lightly glanced at me. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes before he shook his head in front of me, "There's no need. It's a simple task."

I smiled faintly. In my heart, I had received his kindness. I thought that I would one day be able to properly repay this kindness of Li Tianyi's.

However, it seemed like Li Tianyi didn't need me to do that. After pausing for a moment, he asked, "What do you plan to do now? Continue to head back? "

Li Tianyi really wanted to know who it was that hit me from behind, so when he asked this question, there wasn't a single ripple on his face, but he used a very ordinary tone.

"Why don't I go back?"

Although I have also thought about this question from the bottom of my heart, I seriously thought about it. Why would I retreat just because of a few blows from Wandering? Furthermore, after being in this big city for such a long time, I am well aware that the weak have no right to speak.

Since I wanted to become stronger, I couldn't retreat. However, when I return this time, I must find a backer that can protect me. At the very least, I can make it so that Wandering doesn't dare to rashly use my protective talisman.

Otherwise, before I could even compete with her, I would have been beaten black and blue by her underhanded methods.

"If you go back, I'm afraid you'll be killed."

Li Tianyi didn't seem to think that I would give such an answer. After being dazed for a moment, he sneered at me, as if he felt that I was a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger.

I naturally know of this point, as my eyes darkened, I looked at Li Yingyi with determined eyes, "Chief Li, I know that your ability is among the best here, and if I do not have a backer, then it would be a problem even for me to survive, so can you step in and help me settle this matter?"
