Thankfully, the speed wasn't high, and they were wearing seatbelts, so no one was injured. Seeing the collision, Tang Yanran immediately scrambled out of the car in a panic, wanting to check if the other driver was hurt.
The door of the Porsche opened, revealing a young man with dyed yellow hair. After exiting, he ignored Tang Yanran and instead rushed to open the door on the other side of his car. Simultaneously, four or five other cars screeched to a halt, and over a dozen thuggish-looking individuals disembarked, surrounding Tang Yanran's Beetle.
Tang Yanran was startled. Then, the young man who emerged from the other side of the Porsche frowned. "It's you!"
As Nancheng City's number one beauty, even though she was nominally married, her "idiot" husband couldn't deter the multitude of admirers around her. This man before her was one of them: Li Tianyang, the eldest young master of the Li family, a notorious playboy.
"It's me." Li Tianyang smirked playfully. "Yanran, you threw the Australian air-freighted golden-edged roses I sent into the trash, and the luxury bags worth hundreds of thousands you gave to beggars. Why are you actively crashing into my car today? Have you had a change of heart?"
A flicker of disgust crossed Tang Yanran's eyes. "This was an accident. I'll compensate you for any damages."
"Compensate me? Can you afford it?" Li Tianyang sneered. "This is a top-spec Porsche 718. It cost nearly three million yuan just to get it on the road. Can you afford that? Plus, this car helped me charm dozens of girls; it's a memento of my youth. Money alone can't solve this."
Tang Yanran's face turned ashen. "So, what do you want?"
"It's simple. Be my woman, and this debt will be completely written off. Young Master here will even give you a limited edition Porsche."
"That's impossible. I'm calling the police." Tang Yanran reached for her phone to dial, but Li Tianyang snatched it away.
"Young Master has already prepared a room. You can call the police after we've slept together. By then, you can just say you couldn't afford to pay for my car and used your body as collateral. No one will disbelieve you, and your Tang family wouldn't dare utter a peep."
Li Tianyang guffawed triumphantly. He waved a hand, and the men around him swarmed forward, lunging at Tang Yanran with menacing gestures.
"Don't come any closer..." Tang Yanran instinctively panicked, a feeling of helplessness rising within her.
Chen Wanli shook his head, stepping forward to shield Tang Yanran behind him.
Li Tianyang scoffed. "What, the mentally challenged wants to play hero too? Do you even qualify? Pfft..."
But then, a shocking scene unfolded. In the blink of an eye, those fierce hooligans one by one fell to the ground, crying out for their mothers and fathers, howling like pigs being slaughtered. In almost an instant, all dozen or so men were floored by Chen Wanli. Tang Yanran hadn't even seen how he made his moves. These men brought by Li Tianyang were usually seasoned brawlers, yet they couldn't withstand three punches and two kicks from him?
Chen Wanli pursed his lips. After obtaining the legacy, he had diligently studied in the illusory realm of his spiritual sea for three years. Dealing with a few hooligans was like using an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken.
"This..." Tang Yanran was dumbfounded, never having dreamt that one day she would be protected by her "idiot" husband.
Li Tianyang's face, which had been filled with a cold sneer, now turned pale. As a famous playboy who had slept with countless women, Tang Yanran's repeated rejections had deeply annoyed him. Having pursued her for so long, he had completely lost patience, which was why he planned to forcefully take her today. Everything had been meticulously planned, and everything was going smoothly. He thought his dream was about to come true.
But he never expected that the one who would be scared silly right now would be himself. Tang Yanran, the renowned beauty of Nancheng City, married to an idiot—the entire city lamented her fate. But who could have imagined that this "idiot" would be so formidable?
Seeing Chen Wanli's gaze fall upon him, he trembled with fear, retreating seven or eight steps. "Don't come any closer! What do you want to do?"
Chen Wanli flexed his fist. "Bullying my wife right in front of me, what do you think I want to do?"
Li Tianyang nervously swallowed. "Don't be reckless! She crashed into my car; it's only right that she pays for it..."
At this moment, Tang Yanran also came to her senses and quickly pulled Chen Wanli. "Don't fight. I hit his car; I should pay for it." Although her driving skills weren't great, she understood traffic rules. She had been on the phone while turning, so she should bear full responsibility.
Chen Wanli shook his head. "You're still too naive. Turn on your phone and record this."
"Record what?" Tang Yanran didn't understand what he was up to, but she instinctively picked up her phone and started recording.
Chen Wanli grabbed the young yellow-haired driver of the Porsche. "Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you crash into my wife's car?"
"I..." The young man was Li Tianyang's most loyal henchman and naturally wouldn't tell the truth. But when he saw a flicker in Chen Wanli's eyes, his expression instantly became blank.
"Young Master Li told me to crash. He had someone watching the intersection, and I waited here. When Miss Tang's car turned, I was to crash into it..."
The few words were enough to explain everything clearly. This was no accidental traffic accident, but a premeditated conspiracy.
Tang Yanran heard everything distinctly from the side and immediately understood what was going on. She couldn't help but shout in anger, "Li Tianyang, you are utterly despicable!"
"I..." Li Tianyang was utterly bewildered. Events had already far exceeded his understanding. He never imagined that his usually loyal henchman would sell him out directly.
Chen Wanli kicked the young yellow-haired man flying, then strode towards Li Tianyang.
"You..." Li Tianyang originally wanted to utter some intimidating words, but before he could, loud slaps rained down on his face, making him unable to speak a single coherent word.
"Alright, stop hitting him." Tang Yanran, despite her anger, retained her reason and quickly pulled Chen Wanli back. After all, these were people from the Li family, and they couldn't afford to provoke them.
Li Tianyang's face was bruised and swollen, but Tang Yanran's intervention gave him courage, and he roared in fury. "You idiot, how dare you hit me? My Li family will not let you get away with this!"
"You just said it yourself, I'm just an idiot. Why would I care if you're from the Li family, the Wang family, or the Zhao family?" Chen Wanli grabbed his collar, delivered two more resounding slaps, and said mockingly, "An idiot isn't even breaking the law by hitting someone, let alone killing them. What do you think would happen if I killed you right now?"
"I..." Looking at Chen Wanli's sharp gaze, Li Tianyang's recently restored confidence completely vanished. The fact that the Tang family had an idiot son-in-law was well-known throughout the city. If Chen Wanli really killed him, there might be no repercussions at all. Thinking this, he immediately cowered. "Let's talk this over, please don't be impulsive. Whatever you want, I'll do it."
"That's right. Don't provoke me, or I really will kill you," Chen Wanli stated. "You plotted against my wife and crashed into her car. Don't you think you should compensate?"
Li Tianyang nodded frantically. "Compensate, definitely compensate! I'll have someone fix the car right away. Whatever the cost, it's on me."
Chen Wanli raised his hand and delivered another loud slap. "Just fixing the car is enough? You look quite ugly, but you dream big!"
"I... I'll pay for everything! I'll pay for a new car! It's a Beetle, right? I'll transfer three hundred thousand yuan to you right now!" Li Tianyang was teary-eyed from the beating. All he wanted now was to get away from this lunatic as quickly as possible. Revenge could wait; his own safety was paramount.
"Three hundred thousand? Is that enough?" Chen Wanli landed two more slaps, making blood trickle from Li Tianyang's mouth.
Li Tianyang's head was ringing from the beating. He had already offered to pay for a new car's price, why wasn't that enough? "Stop hitting me! How much do you want? Just name a price."
Chen Wanli declared, "This isn't just an ordinary Beetle. This is a testament to the love between my wife and me. Without it, we wouldn't have come together. It's our matchmaker. Now you've damaged the testament to our love, you've damaged our matchmaker. You'll have to pay at least a million!"
"I..."
