Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

"Please forgive me. I'll never dare to do it again," Li Lang said with humiliation, his forehead pressed to the floor.

This time, he'd picked a fight with the wrong person in Xu Ke, and he had no choice but to accept his defeat! What else could he do? Did he really want to end up like his brother and lose his life?

Li Shichuan's jaw clenched tightly.

Humiliation. Such utter humiliation!

Xu Ke stopped circulating the True Qi in his body. His eyes were cold as ice as he stared at Li Lang. "You…"

He was still not satisfied. He could let things go when dealing with attacks on himself, but when it came to his family, Li Lang's kneeling was far from enough.

Just then, Xu Yi hurriedly said, "That's enough, brother. I'm feeling a little unwell. Let's go."

"I want to go back."

Xu Ke could stand up for her, but she couldn't stand by and watch him escalate the conflict. Having known Xu Ke since they were young, she was certain he wouldn't be satisfied with Li Lang just kneeling. But she also knew she couldn't let him get into more trouble over a momentary fit of anger.

"Yes, brother, let's go back," Xu Yi's roommate added urgently. "Let's find somewhere else to eat."

Seeing this, Xu Ke took a slow breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart. "Alright."

Since Xu Yi had stopped him, he had to listen.

Seeing that Xu Ke was finally willing to let him go, Li Lang breathed a sigh of relief. This way, even though he had suffered great humiliation, at least there was no substantial harm done.

After all, whether it was being crippled by Xu Ke or having the matter reported to the Martial Alliance, the Li Family could not afford either outcome at this stage.

However, unnoticed by everyone, Xu Ke's fingers trembled slightly. A Silver Needle, as thin as a hair, shot directly toward Li Lang's body.

As Xu Ke turned to leave, the waiter in the private room hurried forward to help Li Lang up.

Li Shichuan didn't say a word to Xu Ke and simply had someone close the door to the room.

At a time like this, swallowing his anger was the absolute limit of his forbearance.

***

After the door to the private room closed, the corridor on the eighth floor grew much darker, with the sunlight struggling to penetrate the space.

Xu Ke stood his ground, staring down at Kang Dehui, who was lying on the floor. "How do you want me to deal with you?" he asked indifferently.

As soon as he spoke, Kang Dehui, who was playing dead, stiffened. He clearly hadn't expected Xu Ke to still have plans for him.

The other students trembled with fear. They had no intention of speaking up for Kang Dehui; they only wanted to protect themselves.

How could they possibly persuade Xu Ke to let Kang Dehui go when he was willing to cripple even Li Lang? Besides, Kang Dehui was indeed a beast!

"Young… Young Master Xu…" Kang Dehui forced a smile.

"Close your eyes," Xu Ke said flatly to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was taken aback but closed her eyes under his steady gaze.

Seeing this, a cold dread washed over Kang Dehui. "Young Master Xu, let me…"

How could he not see that Xu Ke was about to make a move?!

But Xu Ke didn't waste a word. He lifted his foot and stomped down on the man's hand. It was the very hand Kang Dehui had intended to use to grab Xu Yi.

CRACK.

The bones in his hand shattered.

"AAAAAHHH…"

Before Kang Dehui could even fully form his smile, excruciating pain ripped through his body. The intense agony overwhelmed his nerves, and he passed out cold.

The others turned pale with fear. Xu Ke's methods were too brutal!

"Let's go."

After Kang Dehui stopped screaming, Xu Ke took the hand of the still blindfolded Xu Yi and walked straight to the elevator, signaling her roommates to follow.

The two young women hurried after them.

But even after Xu Ke's elevator reached the first floor, no one dared to speak. Their faces were ashen, clearly terrified by what they had witnessed.

Only when the elevator started ascending again did the waitstaff hastily call for an ambulance.

***

Tang Yingchang drove away from the restaurant.

Inside the car, Xu Yi's face was somewhat pale. Although she hadn't seen what Xu Ke had done, she wasn't deaf. Hearing a former classmate scream so miserably would chill any normal person to the bone.

The two roommates, who had witnessed Xu Ke's actions firsthand, were still trembling with fright.

But none of them—not Xu Yi, not her roommates—thought Xu Ke had done anything wrong. If they weren't so scared, they would have even cheered for Xu Ke. Scum like that deserved the punishment he got!

"Mister Xu, did something happen?" Tang Yingchang asked instinctively. The three young women were in the back seat, while Xu Ke sat beside him in the front.

Xu Ke's aura was seething, his killing intent overflowing. An ordinary person might not have noticed, but it was impossible for Tang Yingchang not to realize something had happened upstairs. He was worried Xu Ke had run into trouble when he wasn't there, so he had to ask.

Xu Ke shook his head. "It was a small matter. We just ran into the Li Family."

He didn't want to recount the scene and force the three young women to relive their fear.

"That's good, then." Hearing this, Tang Yingchang breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew of the Li Family; their strength was only average. As long as it wasn't one of the Six Great Families, it was fine!

Then, Xu Ke changed the subject. "Let's find another place to eat. Afterward, I'll take you all back to school. Xiao Yi, is all your stuff at the school?"

Xu Yi nodded. "I already packed and sent everything I needed to the school over the past two days."

"It's all in the dormitory," Xu Yi's roommate quickly added.

"Good. Thank you." Xu Ke turned his head and offered a faint smile to Xu Yi's two roommates.

Seeing Xu Ke smile, the two young women were taken aback. From the moment he appeared, Xu Ke had been confronting Kang Dehui's group, and they had pegged him as a cold and ruthless thug. Seeing him smile now actually made them uneasy.

Noticing their reaction, Xu Ke awkwardly turned back around. He only meant to show some goodwill to the people who helped Xu Yi; he hadn't expected even that to frighten them.

Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh. "Brother, I told you not to be so fierce. People who don't know you might think you don't even know how to smile. I have no idea how you managed to find a sister-in-law…"

"I'm actually quite friendly…" Xu Ke said, embarrassed.

"Who would believe that?"

Hearing Xu Yi's teasing and seeing Xu Ke's discomfort, the two roommates couldn't help but laugh as well.

The atmosphere in the car finally lightened up.

***

While Xu Ke and his group had relaxed, the mood on Li Shichuan's side was grim. After the incident, they had no appetite for food and left the restaurant to head straight for the hospital.

Li Shichuan looked at Li Lang lying on the hospital bed, his own face livid. "Xu Ke is too arrogant! Does he think Tianhai is the Wang Family's private backyard?"

"Dad, stop talking…" Li Lang struggled to say.

Just then, another voice chimed in. "Xu Ke is indeed too arrogant. That's why I wanted to discuss with you how to deal with him. But I never expected he would actually stoop to something like this. If this goes on any longer, I'm afraid he won't even have any respect for Alliance Leader Chen."

Li Shichuan looked at the speaker. "Young Master Sheng, do you have any ideas?"

The person speaking beside them was Huang Sheng. He was the one they had been waiting for at the restaurant today.
