Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Hearing this voice, the people who were originally talking and laughing suddenly stopped talking, as if they were cast under a spell. The sudden change of voice instantly froze the smiles on their faces, and replaced them with anger. They all stood up from their chairs and turned to look at the door, as if they were going to curse at who was so blind as to dare to disturb their fun.

However, when they saw clearly that the person standing at the door was Wang Haoran, their angry faces immediately turned pale. Especially when they saw Wang Haoran's familiar face and his flushed face, their bodies suddenly trembled, and fear and uneasiness surged in their hearts.

Wang Haoran stared at them straight in the eyes, full of anger and dissatisfaction. After Liu Yong and the others looked at him, they felt guilty and dared not look him in the eye. They began to look around, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, trying to avoid Wang Haoran's sight. For a moment, the whole scene became unusually quiet, and no one dared to speak.

At this moment, Wang Haoran finally couldn't help it. He looked at the people in front of him and couldn't suppress his anger any more. He smiled coldly and said, "What were you guys talking about just now? You were laughing so happily! Tell me now."

Hearing this, Liu Yong and the others looked even uglier. They knew that what they did had made Wang Haoran feel defeated, but they didn't know how to explain it. After a moment of silence, Liu Yong stammered, "That...Haoran...we were just talking about what happened last night, and they said you were pretty fierce." After saying this, he also looked at Li Qiang and Sun Lei, hoping to get their support.

"Yes, Brother Haoran." Li Qiang and Sun Lei echoed the matter from the side.

"Really? Then why did I hear you guys saying outside the door just now that I will be skinned alive if I don't die this time?" Wang Haoran asked back with a gloomy face.

"How is that possible? You must have heard it wrong. How could we be such good friends? How could they say that about you?" Liu Yong retorted in panic. As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes that Li Qiang and Sun Lei should not admit it.

"That's right, Brother Haoran, you must have heard it wrong." Li Qiang nodded quickly.

"Yes, we never said such things!" Sun Lei quickly agreed.

Wang Haoran glanced at the three people, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Oh? Really? Then tell me, what's the story about you helping me stop the love debt outside, and you were beaten black and blue in the end?"

Li Qiang and Sun Lei looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Hearing this, Liu Yong and others became hesitant and didn't know how to answer. They saw Wang Haoran walking towards them and began to feel uneasy.

"Haoran...don't be so impulsive. Calm down and listen to our explanation, okay?" Liu Yong said anxiously, but there was a hint of fear in his voice.

Wang Haoran sneered and continued to walk slowly towards Liu Yong and others with a mocking expression on his face. "Oh? Do you have anything else to explain? I'd like to hear it."

Seeing Wang Haoran's creepy smile, Liu Yong and others couldn't help but shudder. They realized that they might really be beaten this time.

So Sun Lei and Li Qiang looked at each other, holding the idea that it was better to let their friend die than to let the poor Taoist die. They quickly stood up and pushed the responsibility to Liu Yong. "Brother Haoran, this is all Brother Liu's idea, it has nothing to do with us! If you have any questions, go ask him!" After saying that, the two quickly stepped aside and kept a distance from Liu Yong.

Liu Yong gritted his teeth when he heard this, staring at Li Qiang and the other man, shaking with anger. He said tremblingly, "Well, you are so disloyal! This is a bad idea that the three of us came up with together, and now you are pushing all the responsibility onto me! Who was it that just now spread the word that Haoran must be skinned alive this time?"

"Oh... is this true?" Wang Haoran smiled playfully when he heard this, and looked at Li Qiang and the others coldly. Li Qiang and the others panicked when they saw this, and quickly looked away, not daring to look at Wang Haoran.

Seeing Wang Haoran's attention shifted away, Liu Yong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. But before he could come to his senses, he heard Li Qiang and Sun Lei say to him in unison: "Brother Liu, don't be angry. We were just joking with you just now. Don't take it seriously! However, you went into the steel mill early this morning and told everyone that you were beaten because you helped Brother Haoran deal with a debt of love. You can't deny this! In comparison, we just added fuel to the fire later, and the situation is not as serious as yours!"

At this moment, Liu Yong was furious. He didn't expect these two guys to be so cunning and put the main blame on him in an instant. He widened his eyes and cursed at Li Qiang and Sun Lei: "You ungrateful people! Wasn't it you who proposed to teach Haoran a lesson? Now you are biting me back!"

However, Li Qiang and Sun Lei turned a deaf ear to Liu Yong's roar and continued talking to themselves, as if they had not heard him.

"Okay, stop arguing. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Do you have anything else to say?" Wang Haoran walked towards Liu Yong and said.

As Wang Haoran got closer and closer, cold sweat began to appear on Liu Yong's forehead. He realized that the situation was beyond his control. In a hurry, Liu Yong played the emotional card and tried to calm the storm.

"Haoran, I was wrong this time, but look at Brother Liu, he went to fight with you yesterday and ended up being beaten like this. Let's just forget it for the sake of what we've been through together." After saying that, Liu Yong pointed to his red and swollen cheeks, hoping to arouse Wang Haoran's sympathy.

However, Wang Haoran was not shaken by this. He responded righteously: "This won't do. Let's put one thing at a time. Who told you to talk nonsense? You almost caused me to lose my wife." His voice was full of determination and anger.

Liu Yong explained helplessly: "I have to say this! There are so many people in the factory. When they see my condition, I can't say that I went out to fight and got beaten up. I have to save some face. It would be so embarrassing to tell others about it." He hesitated, trying to find a reasonable excuse.

Hearing this, Wang Haoran couldn't help but laugh angrily: "You want face, but I don't? Now everyone is pointing fingers at me behind my back."
