The Argument

There were many exclamations from the crowd of onlookers.

This sudden development stunned Xia Ling. What was Li Lei doing here? Wasn't he overseas? When did he come back?

Before she could finish her thought, Li Lei had already pushed past the crowd and walked to the side of the elevator shaft. He reached out his arm and pulled her out of Pei Ziheng's embrace and into his own. He used a lot of strength, and Xia Ling felt herself lurch forward, feeling as if her arms had been pulled out of their sockets. Her nose smashed into his chest, and she gave a muffled yelp of pain.

Li Lei coldly looked at Pei Ziheng and said, "Don't touch my girl."

His voice was sinister, giving the onlookers the chills. There was silence all around momentarily.
