Seeing Li Yan holding a wrench more than a foot long in his hand, those people instinctively stepped aside to avoid getting hit, but they didn't leave. Instead, after making way, they kept a safe distance and surrounded him.

Those closest to him reacted by pulling out steel pipes from their cars. Six people stepped back, three grabbed the steel pipes, and another leaned against the car, exuding a menacing aura—Zhang Jing.

Li Yan had already walked to the center, allowing him to see the situation clearly. Sure enough, it was Zhang Yurong's Mercedes that was blocked by a large van, and inside the car, Zhang Yurong was in the driver's seat with Yue Yao in the front passenger seat beside her. The two of them were now on defensive lockdown, locking the car doors and rolling up the windows. However, because they were blocked in front and surrounded by people, they could only defend themselves temporarily and had no way to drive away.

"Where did this fool come from? Trying to play hero rescuing the beauty? Damn it! They hit our car, injured several of us. If they have money to drive a Mercedes, they better not think of leaving without paying us a hundred or eighty thousand!"

One of the people inside, holding a newly acquired steel pipe, began provoking Li Yan.

Inside the car, Yue Yao had already noticed Li Yan coming over as soon as they parted. Although she wouldn't have been truly afraid even if Li Yan hadn't come, his timely appearance allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would have to either knock Zhang Yurong out or reveal her unusual abilities, which wouldn't benefit future secret protection around Zhang Yurong.

Zhang Yurong only now realized that it was Li Yan who had come. She was very nervous and had already called the police, wanting to hold on a bit longer until they arrived. This wasn't a situation she was familiar with. In the business world, she had the status of the Paradise Group's president. No matter how powerful the client or skilled the negotiator, she could handle them calmly. But these people outside clearly couldn't be reasoned with.

In this situation, she couldn't help but think of Li Yan. Just like that time when she was bullied by a few women who had men backing them up, and everyone around only watched the show. Then, as she was unable to reason with them, Li Yan called at the crucial moment, making her feel instantly secure. He quickly found her and provided immediate protection, ultimately retaliating against those who bullied her.

Recalling that sense of security, Zhang Yurong felt both grateful and helpless. After all, he was her husband! Although he might not be that remarkable usually, he stood up for her at critical moments. But now... thinking of him playing around with two Beihai girls in a faraway place without a care, she felt continuously agitated, a frustration she brought upon herself with her special approval!

Zhang Yurong, who never regretted any work decision she'd made, had regretted multiple times for arranging Li Yan to accompany Shinohara Mirai and the others these past few days.

Even though that guy said he'd be back soon, who knows where he is now? Distant waters can't extinguish nearby fires, and two fists can't battle ten people. Even if Li Yan did come, he couldn't take on ten violent men. So, although Zhang Yurong hoped Li Yan could be by her side right now, she rationally chose to call the police and didn't call him. If she called him about this, perhaps he would think she was making an excuse to bring him back, and she didn't want him to misunderstand like that... who needs him...

No matter what she thought earlier, having just called the police and with them not arriving yet, Li Yan unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere, causing Zhang Yurong to feel excited, as if she were dreaming—it was too unreal!

At this moment, she had no mind to deal with the matter of the Beihai sisters, nor did she ponder over the issue of him not returning for several days and failing to report. Now, her only thought was about his safety! How could one person handle ten thugs?

"Li Yan! Leave now, this has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing the situation inside the car, Li Yan exchanged glances with Yue Yao. From her eyes, he knew they were safe, without any issues. Seeing Zhang Yurong's anxious expression and hearing her urging him to leave, he gave her a comforting smile.

Seeing Li Yan's nonchalant demeanor, Zhang Yurong furrowed her brows tightly and murmured in a low voice, "This guy still wants to show off! Is this the time to show off?"

Yue Yao gently reassured her, "Sister Rong, don't worry. Brother-in-law is a man, he must have solutions we can't think of, he will certainly protect us."

"But who's going to protect him? Won't those thugs beat him to death?" Zhang Yurong, for the first time, spoke harshly to Yue Yao. Immediately afterwards, she apologized, "Yue Yao, I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about his safety."

Yue Yao smiled and shook her head, "It's alright. But I still have a lot of confidence in Brother-in-law Li Yan. Look, he dares to come over alone; that already shows he's quite heroic. Ordinary men would choose to call the police rationally in such a situation instead of coming up. He didn't see us, so he must have recognized your car; he's very worried about you! Sister Rong, having a brother-in-law who cares for you like this without regard for his own life, you are truly blessed!"

Yue Yao naturally spoke well of Li Yan to mend her deception towards Zhang Yurong and reconcile their relationship.

After hearing this, Zhang Yurong froze for a moment. Blessed?
