As the sun rose from the eastern horizon, Xiahai City stirred like a giant monster waking from its slumber.

It was likely due to the excruciating pain emanating from his mangled arm, but Zhuo Wei was the first to wake up from his coma. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked! The view in his vision entirely disoriented him, and he needed some time to find his bearings.

Why was the sky beneath and the ground above his head?

Two to three seconds later, he finally regained his senses and realized that someone had tied his legs up, and he now hung him upside down on the outer face of a 52-story high building! Besides him, everyone else had also been hung upside down on this high-rise building. Even if one didn’t suffer from a fear of heights, it was more than enough to cause all the hair on one’s body to stand on ends at this kind of elevation.

“Help me… help me…!”

Zhuo Wei started to panic and scream in abject fear. Being hung upside down in such a precarious way was undoubtedly frightening and very dangerous. Zhuo Wei felt like his life would end at any given moment.

The other “cats” started stirring from their state of unconsciousness as well, and the moment they realized the situation they were in, they began screaming in terror just like Zhuo Wei did.

Being strung up 52 stories high was the last thing they’d expected, and the fear was too much for them to bear. Several of them who had a fear of heights had already wet their pants.

…

“Sister, hurry up and look at that, it seems like there are a whole bunch of people being hung outside that building!”

After drawing the curtains to the balcony at the Crescent Bay hotel, Luo Pingxiang was the first to notice the incredible scene at the opposite office building. She immediately pointed at it and called out to Su Li.

Su Li was in the midst of feeding Su Xiaobei breakfast, and as soon as she heard that, she turned her head towards the balcony to take a look. The scene she saw startled her—there were indeed 20 to 30 people strung upside down outside the 52-story building.

“It has got to be Zhuo Wei and his bunch of b*stards!”

Chai Zhiying exclaimed in surprise, but she was puzzled. “Who in the world could have hung them upside down outside the building?” she asked.

Su Li immediately thought of Xiao Luo, for she had informed him just last night that people were secretly taking pictures. It couldn’t have been just a coincidence that the next morning, Zhuo Wei and his crew were suddenly hanging hung upside down outside that tall building. That would be very unlikely, and she was sure that Xiao Luo was the one who did it.

As she was pondering over the matter, the doorbell rang.

Luo Pingxiang rushed over to open the door, and Xiao Luo walked in, dressed in a white shirt. He strode toward the dining table and sat right next to Su Xiaobei.

“Good morning, Daddy!” The little girl said, laughing as she raised her crescent-shaped eyes and flashed two rows of perfectly formed teeth at him.

“Good morning, Bei Bei!”

Xiao Luo patted her on the head and then began to tuck into his breakfast.

“Are you the one who did it?” Su Li asked, as she got up from her seat and pointed at the office building opposite them.

“Yes, I’m the one who did it.”

Xiao Luo decided to be upfront as it would be pointless for him to hide it anyway. Su Li very likely already knew it was him by now.

Luo Pingxiang and Chai Zhiying were stunned and look at Xiao Luo in shock. They thought that this man was simply too violent. To think that he tied up the legs of Zhuo Wei and his group of photographers and just hung them upside down precariously outside a building. And it was likely that they had been hanging there for an entire night too. Just thinking of it made one shiver. Wasn’t he afraid that the rope might just snap or loosen and cause them to fall to their deaths?

“Who allowed you to do something like this?” Su Li screamed.

She was furious and reacted rather emotionally. “You think you’re all that great just because you’ve learned some martial arts, and can do whatever you want? Not everything in this world can be settled using violence,” she cried, “What are you going to do if someone over there dies, and you become some wanted fugitive by the police? Will you only be satisfied when you’ve ruined your entire life? You’re too full of yourself! Next time, just stay out of my business!”

Xiao Luo, who was in the middle of his breakfast, raised his head and smiled wryly. “Excuse me, are you taking my kindness as ill intentions?” he asked.

Su Li opened her eyes wide and was speechless. “Taking his kindness as ill intentions?” She was worried about him, afraid that something horrible would happen to him, why couldn’t he understand this?

Luo Pingxiang interposed to mediate on Su Li’s behalf, and said, “Mr. Xiao Luo, sister didn’t mean it that way. Don’t take it to heart.”

“That’s exactly what I meant!”

Su Li’s unreasonable temper showed again as she sighed and said, “He is always full of himself, reckless as usual. He’s just arrogant, and does what he likes without considering the law!”

Xiao Luo laughed and said, “So, it looks like I did something that I should not have done.”

After he finished this sentence, Su Li, Luo Pingxiang, and Chai Zhiying immediately realized that something was not right with Xiao Luo. His vibrations were terrifying and scary.

“Full of myself? Reckless? Lawless? Barbarian?”

Xiao Luo laughed and sneered, “Hahaha, so, deep down I’m this kind of person to you, and here I thought… I thought you actually had feelings too. Nevermind, the next time, regardless of how overwhelming the negative perception is of you, or the insults that people are hurling at you, or even worse, letting others openly view your private life, I will not care anymore!”

Su Li’s words had deeply hurt him. Xiao Luo had only done it in her interest, and to receive such a response from her was nothing short of an insult.

Su Li stood at the same spot without moving, and she stared right at Xiao Luo, no longer hearing anything else. What did he mean by that? Was hacking into every single major media outlet and forcing Jia Zhengyi to apologize to her, all done by this guy here?

Had he done so many things for her before without mentioning them to her even once?

She was suddenly really touched, but as soon as she realized what she had just said to him, she felt ashamed of herself.

Just what in the world did she say earlier on?

Su Li was mad at herself for everything she had said.

“Just bring Xiaobei over to my apartment in the afternoon,” Xiao Luo said.

He sounded cold and just turned around and left.

“Wait… w-wait a moment…” Su Li stammered.

“Wait for what? For you to continue insulting me?” Xiao Luo retorted.

“I…”

Su Li’s body shook a little. The look that Xiao Luo gave broke her heart. How did this happen? She was really concerned about him; why was it that he just couldn’t seem to understand that at all?

Chai Zhiying rushed towards Xiao Luo. “Hey, you with the last name Xiao. You stay right there and explain yourself clearly. What in the world is going on here?” she barked.

Xiao Luo was in a terrible mood, and Chai Zhiying’s action was no different from taking off his muzzle. He suddenly stopped, and without any warning, swiveled his body around. Whizzing through the air, he swung his right leg toward the side of Chai Zhiying’s head in a split second.

He was filled with rage and looked like he would kill someone!

Chai Zhiying froze. All she felt was a gust of wind as Xiao Luo’s right foot stopped right at the left side of her head. The immense power that was behind that kick caused her scalp to turn numb.

“Daddy, no! Please, Daddy, don’t hurt her!”

Xiao Luo glanced over at Su Xiaobei, and he suddenly calmed down. He glared at Chai Zhiying and said, “I’ve tolerated you long enough, just listening to your voice gets me very agitated and angry. You better thank Bei Bei this time round. If it wasn’t for her, this leg would have taught you that not everyone is going to allow you to scream and shout at them!”

After saying that, he retracted his leg, opened the door, and left without looking back at all.

After he left, Chai Zhiying slumped to the floor. She sat in a daze, and cold sweat started to pour like a waterfall as she took a deep breath to calm herself down. It was as if she had just walked past the gate of hell.

Su Li, on the other hand, felt as if she had just lost her soul. She was drowned in her own sorrow and guilt. She wished she could turn back time. If she could, she would never say such words that would hurt him again.
