Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Nowadays, her fame on Medicine Farmer Star has spread widely, and the Xiahou Family will become her ally, while General Luo Xiangyue will also back her up.

Moreover, just a few days ago, Xu Xingguang went to the Alliance Government to dispose of the Corpse Centipede and even signed a cooperation contract with them.

Soon, she will start working at the Xia Country Research Institute alongside veterans to study the Corpse Centipede disassembly project.

Currently, she is an important scientific personnel under the protection of the Alliance Government. Her profile documents have also become S-Class confidential files of the Alliance Government.

She has no fear of Jiang Heng!

Xu Xingguang’s imposing aura made Jiang Heng look at her with new eyes.

The thought of Xu Xingguang daring to speak harshly to him in that kind of environment was truly naive and foolish.

”Huh.” Jiang Heng scoffed, his face full of disdain as he said, ”Xu Xingguang, the former Xu Family couldn’t even compete with me, and the present Xu Family is even less noteworthy.”

”I promised your father, as long as he kept an eye on you and made sure you stayed obediently in Yujiang City like a turtle hiding in its shell and never disturbed me and Bai Xuan, I would return Qinglang Daily Chemical Company to him and even give him an extra plot of land.”

”Your father agreed.”

After saying this, Jiang Heng walked up to Xu Xingguang with a teasing look, he leaned his head close to her, deliberately provoking, ”Xu Zeqing wouldn’t be your support, neither can he be your support. Xu Xingguang, you’re just an orphan, what do you have to fight me with?”

Xu Xingguang suddenly raised her oiled paper umbrella and jabbed at Jiang Heng’s face with the handle, ”Stay away from me, filthy creature!”

Hit by her, Jiang Heng’s sharp and handsome face instantly darkened ominously.

He touched the chin that was pained by the umbrella handle, gritting his teeth he said, ”Xu Xingguang, you dare touch me!”

Xu Xingguang sneered, raising the oiled paper umbrella again, surprisingly thrusting the small wooden top at the umbrella tip forcefully into Jiang Heng’s nostril!

Her movement was so swift and incredible that Jiang Heng only saw a fleeting shadow, then felt his nose pried apart by something hard.

Then his body was jolted backward by that force, staggering back a few steps before stopping.

”Humph!” Jiang Heng covered his nose, catching a handful of blood.

Xu Xingguang stood there holding the umbrella, smirking defiantly, arrogantly saying, ”I just hit you, if you have the guts, hit back.”

Really enraged by Xu Xingguang, Jiang Heng spoke in an icy tone, ”Do you know what happens to those daring enough to hit me!” At worst, they lose limbs, at best, they face family destruction.

”Xu Xingguang, I should truly teach you a lesson!” Jiang Heng strode aggressively towards Xu Xingguang, raising his hand to strike her.

Just as Xu Xingguang was about to retaliate, she suddenly heard Xiahou Shang’s reprimanding voice, ”Jiang Heng, this is Xiahou Home. You are, at my Xiahou Home, going to hit my wife’s sister. Isn’t that quite unruly?”

Jiang Heng couldn’t believe Xiahou Shang arrived so conveniently.

He must have been here a long while, hiding behind watching the scene unfold.

Jiang Heng lowered his hand, speaking with a hostile tone, ”City Lord Xiahou, you truly arrived at the right moment.”

Standing in front of Xu Xingguang, Xiahou Shang directly looked at Jiang Heng, stating flatly, ”You once used improper methods to force Xu Zeqing to sign a voluntary blood donation agreement for Xingguang as her guardian. You took advantage of loopholes in the law; out of consideration for the connection between our noble families, I turned a blind eye.”

”But back then, Xingguang was in a vegetative state; the situation was different. Now Xingguang has awakened; she endured having her blood drawn for two or three years. Is it really excessive for merely hitting you a few times?”

Jiang Heng’s brows furrowed slightly, somewhat surprised Xiahou Shang dared to break relations with him for Xu Xingguang.

Xiahou Shang continued, ”As the brother-in-law, I already disappointed my younger sister once, and naturally can’t let her be disheartened again. Today, I set aside my position as the City Lord of Yujiang City, and merely as Xingguang’s brother-in-law, I stand here warning you.”

”You can act against Xu Xingguang, unless you defeat me first.”

Against the assertive Xiahou Shang, Jiang Heng could only take a step back.

After all, this was Yujiang City, not his territory of West Continent City.

The City Lord of West Continent City is merely a puppet of Jiang Family, but the Yujiang City Lord has the Xiahou Family as his backing, unable to be manipulated by anyone.

”City Lord Xiahou, farewell.” Deeply glancing at Xu Xingguang, Jiang Heng left with a stomach full of fire.

Watching Jiang Heng walk while covering his bleeding nose, Xiahou Shang then turned to Xu Xingguang, scolding, ”You’re being reckless.”

Xu Xingguang chuckled lightly, yet said, ”City Lord Xiahou, today you have the confidence to stand up to Jiang Heng and speak boldly. Is it truly to protect Zhang Zhiyi’s sister, or to protect Medicine Farmer Star? The reason is perfectly clear to both of us.”
