Chapter 64: The Law of the Jungle

An Benyue was already dead.

Wu Ming walked up to Li Moxuan, forcing a reluctant smile onto his face.

"Senior, are you satisfied with this?"

Only then did Li Moxuan nod in satisfaction.

"If you had done this earlier, would you have needed to make such a big fuss and waste so much time?"

Li Moxuan knew that because of this incident, the Wu and An families would harbor a deep, bone-deep hatred toward him.

However, he did not care in the least.

An Benyue had brought this upon himself; he had no one else to blame.

If neither family chose to be smart about this, Li Moxuan could easily make them disappear from this world without a sound.

If he lacked this kind of strength, would these people have spared him and Li Moling?

They would have simply been tortured to death by An Benyue.

Everything boiled down to the law of the jungle—the strong prey upon the weak.

"Senior's lesson is well-received. In that case, Senior, we shall take our leave so as not to disturb you any further!"

Wu Ming retreated respectfully, and An Zhicheng ordered his men to carry An Benyue's corpse back.

In the blink of an eye, both families vanished without a trace.

Realizing that this farce had ended with An Benyue courting his own death, the onlookers quickly dispersed, terrified that Li Moxuan might wipe them out as well.

The bustling entrance of Wushi University instantly became dead silent and completely empty.

"Where... are you going?"

Li Moxuan called out to Chen Caixia, who was attempting to slip away in the chaos.

Frightened out of her wits, Chen Caixia dropped to her knees with a loud thud.

Seeing that even the dignified young master of the An family had been driven to a tragic death right before her eyes, what was she in comparison?

Chen Caixia no longer dared to show an ounce of arrogance, pleading for mercy with a look of utter terror.

"It was all a misunderstanding! An Benyue forced me to do this; I had no choice!"

Li Moxuan couldn't be bothered to deal with such a sycophantic, fickle-minded nobody.

Bang...

With a single kick, Li Moxuan sent Chen Caixia flying to slam against the wall.

After this lesson, let's see if she would ever dare to court death again.

With the dust finally settling, Xiang Peng, along with Dong Shan and his son, timidly approached.

At this moment, he once again gained a profound appreciation for Li Moxuan's immense strength and lofty status.

As for Li Moxuan, he was now revered like a deity in Xiang Peng's eyes.

"Master Li, then as for us..."

Li Moxuan glanced at Xiang Peng and his companions.

"Your matter isn't particularly difficult. Although I am not an easy man to talk to, I believe in dealing with things fairly and separately."

"An Benyue was the mastermind, while he was merely an accomplice. If he can obtain Chen Wenwen's forgiveness, I can spare his life. If not, he can go keep An Benyue company!"

Trembling all over in terror, Dong Bo couldn't help casting a glance at the pool of blood left behind by An Benyue.

On the verge of tears, he whimpered, "I don't want to die..."

Clearly, Li Moxuan was not joking.

Panic-stricken, Dong Bo scrambled over to Chen Wenwen, weeping bitterly as he confessed his sins.

He began to frantically slap his own face.

"I'm sorry... Please forgive me, I will be your devoted servant."

"I... I'll beat myself until I'm satisfied, I will make amends tenfold, please spare my life... Wuuu..."

Dong Bo's desire to survive was exceptionally strong.

Within a few strikes, he had beaten his already bruised and battered face into an even more gruesome pulp.

Though angry, Chen Wenwen couldn't help feeling a trace of pity upon witnessing such a bloody and brutal scene.

"Forget it! If you ever dare to bully a girl again, I will never let you off!"

Hearing this, Dong Bo was overwhelmed with gratitude.

He kowtowed frantically.

"Thank you, beautiful lady, for sparing my life! From now on, I am your loyal underling, and I will come at your every beck and call."

"Get lost!"

Since Chen Wenwen had chosen to grant him a way out, Li Moxuan couldn't be bothered to entangle himself further with these wretches.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Master Li, for your boundless mercy!"

Dong Shan hurriedly dragged his son away.

Xiang Peng looked at Li Moxuan, intending to say something, but after pressing his lips together, he ultimately remained silent.

He had originally recognized that Li Moxuan was a person of great importance and had wanted to curry favor with him.

Yet those models he sent last time had turned out to be a well-intentioned blunder.

And this time, he had made mistake upon mistake.

What else could he do?

He had the vision, but lacked the fortune.

In Li Moxuan's eyes, he, the lofty chairman of a major corporation, was actually nothing at all.

As long as he didn't completely offend Li Moxuan, that was already enough.

Xiang Peng cupped his fists toward Li Moxuan and then departed with a lonely, desolate expression.

Li Moxuan was well aware that Xiang Peng's attempts to butter him up were merely meant to secure protection for his own corporation.

Both parties took what they needed; neither owed the other anything.

If Xiang Peng had treated him with genuine sincerity, Li Moxuan would have responded in kind.

If he harbored ulterior motives, then he was sorry.

Given Li Moxuan's strength, there were plenty of people lining up to follow him; he didn't need a mere Xiang Peng.

The crowd dispersed entirely.

Only Li Moxuan, Li Moling, and Chen Wenwen remained at the scene.

Overjoyed, Li Moling hurried forward with quick steps.

"Brother, you were amazing! You're the strongest!"

Li Moling threw herself into Li Moxuan's arms, affectionately rubbing against him.

Meanwhile, Chen Wenwen bowed politely and gracefully.

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Facing Li Moxuan's gaze, Chen Wenwen lowered her head shyly, a faint blush spreading across her delicate, fair cheeks.

The moment she laid eyes on Li Moxuan earlier, she had thought he looked incredibly handsome, just like a supreme hero out of a movie.

Not only was he handsome, but he possessed immense power.

No matter who he faced, he remained utterly dominant and unyielding.

This was what a true, towering man looked like.

What young maiden's heart doesn't flutter with spring?

Seeing Li Moxuan in action, Chen Wenwen's heart raced wildly, and deep feelings began to take root within her.

The look she cast toward Li Moxuan was filled with a dreamy haze.

Unaware of the romantic reveries running through the young girl's mind, Li Moxuan simply felt a pang of heartache seeing these two young lasses being bullied.

"What did Brother tell you before? If anyone bullies you, charge right up and blast them to pieces! Brother will handle the consequences."

"But... why didn't you make a move earlier? If you had acted directly, would Wenwen have gotten beaten?"

Li Moling pouted her lips.

"However... those talismans are so powerful, that guy would have died."

Li Moxuan pinched Li Moling's tender, soft cheek.

"Some people are simply courting death, and all we need to do is send them off to see the King of Hell. Forgiving them is the King of Hell's job."

"You've seen it for yourself. In this world today, no one pities the weak; they only grovel before the strong. Being soft-hearted is useless—it will only cause them to bully you with even greater intensity, or perhaps even kill you!"
