132: Sensitive girl

A feinted straight punch immediately followed by a sweeping kick—the movements were fluid and seamless, a combination killing move he had honed in the Special Forces.

Chen Li did not retreat but advanced, neutralizing the moves with his superior reaction speed.

Their fists and feet collided, emitting dull thudding sounds in the night.

The longer the fight went on, the colder Lu Jun's heart grew.

Every killing move he unleashed, whether it was a feigned attack meant to distract, or a vicious, ruthless chokehold, was always neutralized by the opponent with astonishing speed at the last moment.

What made it even harder for him to believe was that this young man remained completely at ease, as if he was merely... sparring?

That's right, Chen Li was indeed using him for practice.

Feeling the surging power within him gradually integrating through actual combat, he cherished this rare opportunity for a sparring partner even more.

Every move and stance was helping him familiarize himself with this power. The exhilaration of this progress made him almost reluctant to end the duel too quickly.

Inside the car, Liu Nansheng was already dumbfounded.

She gripped the car door handle tightly, staring unblinkingly at the two figures grappling outside the window. How could this be an ordinary fight?

It was clearly a martial arts scene straight out of a movie. Every move carried sharp, fierce winds, and every offense and defense was fraught with danger.

She had long forgotten her fear, completely stunned by this extraordinary battle.

After several minutes of fierce exchange, Chen Li keenly noticed that the opponent's moves were starting to repeat.

This opponent was indeed experienced, but Chen Li had already figured out all his attack patterns.

It was time to end it.

Chen Li's eyes focused, and he suddenly accelerated.

The force of his punch howled as it approached, its power more than double what it had been before.

Lu Jun had not expected the opponent to still be holding back, and he hastily managed to raise his arms to block.

A muffled 'thud' sounded.

Lu Jun felt a mountain-toppling, sea-overturning force spread from his arms throughout his body. He retreated uncontrollably until he finally crashed heavily onto the ground.

He tried to struggle back up, but Chen Li was already close, shadowing him. Chen Li pinned him down firmly, gripping his wrist with one hand and pressing down on his shoulder joint with the other.

"Li Weishan sent you, didn't he?" Chen Li's voice was cold as ice.

Lu Jun lay prone on the ground, his pupils contracting almost imperceptibly before returning to normal.

He clenched his jaw, not uttering a single word.

"I know it was him even if you don't say it."

Chen Li didn't lessen the pressure in his hand. "I just don't understand why someone with your skill would risk your life for trash like him?"

This sentence seemed to touch a deep wound inside Lu Jun.

He closed his eyes, his voice hoarse: "Just... cripple me."

Chen Li keenly caught the struggle and helplessness in his tone; this was not the reaction of a hardened criminal.

Lu Jun felt his cheeks burning, a strong sense of shame searing his heart.

It started the moment Li Weishan handed him that Bank card holding his sister's life-saving money.

He clearly remembered his sister's pale, smiling face on the hospital bed, and he remembered the doctor saying that only continuous treatment could sustain her life.

He could face a hail of bullets on the battlefield, but he could not watch his only relative be taken away by illness.

Even if it meant violating the oath he swore under the military flag, even if it meant his hands would never be clean again.

Once his sister recovered, he could give his life back to God anytime.

Chen Li was silent for a moment... "You can go."

Chen Li suddenly released his grip and stood up. "But remember this: if I catch you helping Li Weishan commit evil again, I absolutely won't show mercy."

This decision was not an impulsive one.

From his fighting moves to Lu Jun's upright posture and firm gaze, Chen Li had long recognized that the opponent came from a military background.

He had always held a special respect for soldiers; perhaps this was a sentiment shared by every citizen.

Lu Jun lay stunned on the ground, seemingly unable to believe he had just been released.

Chen Li turned and walked toward the driver's seat, opening the car door.

Just as he was about to get in the car, Lu Jun's low voice came from behind him: "My name is Lu Jun."

Chen Li paused briefly but did not look back.

He got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and skillfully reversed and turned. The white Audi quickly disappeared into the night.

Lu Jun remained standing in place, watching the car drive away. The pain in his chest was far less than the shock in his heart.

This battle tonight, this mysterious young man, not only showed him that there is always someone better, but also made him reconsider the path he had chosen.

The night wind blew, lifting the fallen leaves by the roadside.

This veteran, who had gone through countless life-and-death trials, felt such total suppression at the hands of another person for the first time, and also encountered such a unique opponent for the first time.

The car compartment was silent. Liu Nansheng turned sideways, her gaze firmly fixed on Chen Li.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered, openly revealing admiration and affection, as if she wanted to engrave every detail of him into her heart.

"Why are you staring at me?" Chen Li felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Chen Li, how were you... so amazing just now?"

Liu Nansheng's voice was filled with awe. "Just like a martial arts master in a movie."

"What kind of amazing are you referring to?" Chen Li teased her deliberately, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Liu Nansheng immediately blushed and lightly punched his shoulder: "Jerk! I meant the way you fought, of course."

"I've always been this amazing," Chen Li said casually.

"Then why couldn't you beat those thugs last time we were kidnapped?" Liu Nansheng suddenly remembered the incident and tilted her head in confusion.

Chen Li was momentarily speechless, then quickly found an excuse: "That was... me deliberately showing weakness, wanting to see what they were really up to."

Just then, the car slowly drove into the Villa area and stopped right outside the house.

Although the explanation was full of holes, Liu Nansheng was currently completely immersed in the shock of what she had just witnessed and had no intention of probing further.

Her mind was filled with Chen Li's agile figure—the swift strikes, the composed demeanor; every movement made her heart race.

She tightly held Chen Li's arm, almost melting into his embrace. Her eyes, usually holding a hint of coolness, were now glistening and reflecting undisguised infatuation.

Chen Li's excellence was simply every girl's dream—not only did he possess astonishing wealth and extraordinary skill, but he was also incredibly strong in that aspect.

The pain of losing her family seemed to be healed at this moment. God had indeed opened a window for her while closing a door.

This thought sparked an uncontrollable urge in her heart.

As soon as they entered the house, before she even had time to turn on the lights, she turned and threw herself into Chen Li's arms, rising onto her tiptoes to kiss his lips.

The kiss was sudden yet passionate, carrying all the gratitude, worship, and deep affection she had accumulated over these days.

In the darkness, their embracing figures intertwined in the entryway. The already sensitive Nan Sheng was now flowing like a stream...
