"You're right; I came specifically to thank you!" Xiao Hong stared at Qin Hai, her smile sinister, and her gaze like a venomous snake.
A young man in his twenties, holding a cigarette, swaggered over to Xiao Hong. He looked at Qin Hai and asked, "Red Sister, is this the guy you're talking about?"
"Yes, it's him! Xiao Gang, help me teach him a lesson. Later, Red Sister will treat you to a luxurious feast at Dafuhao!" Xiao Hong said.
The young man threw the cigarette to the ground, stepped on it forcefully, and then chuckled, "Alright, Red Sister, you just wait and see how we help you vent your anger."
Waving his hand, the young man called out, "Brothers, let's get to work. Finish quickly so we can go to Dafuhao."
The others rushed forward, surrounding Qin Hai and Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei hurriedly stood in front of Qin Hai, saying, "Xiao Hong, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Can't you see? Beauty, this is a fight. Be sensible and step aside; otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless." The young man named Xiao Gang waved the wooden stick in his hand and sneered.
Qin Hai lightly patted Qiao Wei's shoulder, took a step forward, and stood in front of her, a smile playing on his lips. "You guys dare to talk to me about fighting?"
Xiao Gang disdainfully said, "Quit the nonsense, kid. If you're smart, break one of your arms by yourself. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Break an arm? Sure, I promise!" The smile on Qin Hai's lips deepened.
Qin Hai's words caught Xiao Gang off guard for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter with the other guys.
"Red Sister, I thought he was some tough guy. It turns out he's a softie, haha!"
After speaking, he threw the wooden stick in his hand in front of Qin Hai.
"Go ahead, it's fine like this. Saves us the trouble."
Qin Hai bent down, picked up the wooden stick, and weighed it in his hand. Qiao Wei, behind him, urgently pulled his clothes and whispered, "Xiao Qin, let me stop them. You go quickly; they won't dare to do anything to me!"
"Sis Qiao, rest assured. Nothing will happen!" Qin Hai turned around, smiled at Qiao Wei, and reassured her.
Whether it was because she had witnessed Qin Hai's imposing presence at the Four Seas Company or the bright smile on Qin Hai's face, Qiao Wei's nervousness eased considerably. She involuntarily loosened her grip on Qin Hai's clothes.
After comforting Qiao Wei, Qin Hai turned to Xiao Gang with a smile, "One arm, right?"
"Don't waste time, kid. If you're smart, break your arm yourself. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite. Do you know that our time is precious? Delaying us from making money, can you afford the consequences?" Xiao Gang lit another cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and arrogantly said, pointing at Qin Hai with the cigarette holder. The hand holding the cigarette even gestured as if he were a big shot.
Crack!
A crisp sound suddenly echoed, and then abruptly stopped.
It sounded like something had broken cleanly, without dragging on or hesitation.
Xiao Gang suddenly widened his eyes, staring fixedly at his own arm. The hand holding the cigarette was hanging down at a very strange angle, swaying gently in the night breeze. Undoubtedly, the bones in his arm were broken.
"My hand!"
A piercing and miserable scream suddenly exploded, appearing exceptionally terrifying in the dark night, sending shivers down the spine.
The other guys looked at each other. The scene happened too quickly, and they didn't see what had just happened.
Is there a ghost?
Someone muttered, and a few guys holding sticks were scared, looking around as if there were really ghosts or monsters wandering nearby.
"A ghost of what? I was beaten by him. Damn it, all of you beat me. Kill him!" Xiao Gang, in pain, kicked the closest guy toward Qin Hai.
The remaining few guys finally understood. They lifted the sticks in their hands and rushed towards Qin Hai.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As if in the blink of an eye, after a few muffled sounds, without exception, these guys, like Xiao Gang, had their arms hanging down at a ninety-degree angle.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Gang, who had been shouting incessantly just now, was completely dumbfounded. His mouth was wide open, almost big enough to fit a duck egg.
At this moment, he finally realized that he had encountered someone unbeatable tonight, and moreover, someone exceptionally formidable.
Making a joke, in the blink of an eye, he had broken the arms of seven or eight people. Such a person could be easily dealt with? At least Xiao Gang had never heard of it, let alone encountered it.
Xiao Gang, being a smart person, quickly endured the pain in his arm, bowed deeply, and said, "Big Brother, we were blind and offended you just now. Please forgive us!"
Qin Hai didn't expect this kid to be so sensible, so he stopped and said, "Right, he's quite sensible. Fortunately, you only said one arm. If you had said twist off the neck, you might not be able to talk now."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Gang, terrified, turned pale. He mentally blamed Xiao Hong for the miserable situation he found himself in.
"Get lost, and don't come here again. If I ever run into you again, you know the consequences," Qin Hai's eyes flashed with a hint of severity.
"Yes, don't worry, I won't come here again, even if you beat me to death!" Xiao Gang shivered all over with fear. Seeing that Qin Hai didn't intend to pursue further, he felt relieved and quickly fled with his subordinates. No matter how much Xiao Hong called out, they refused to look back.
After Xiao Gang and his group left, Qin Hai walked step by step towards Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong kept retreating until she was stopped by a wall.
"What... What do you want?" Xiao Hong, her face pale, looked at Qin Hai, her body trembling, reaching the point of extreme fear.
Qin Hai had initially intended to frighten this woman, but Qiao Wei intervened, saying, "Xiao Qin, forget it, let her go."
Qin Hai frowned and glared at Xiao Hong, "You... hurry up and leave. Remember, be careful about what you say. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I won't let you off so easily."
Xiao Hong looked deeply at Qiao Wei, then hurriedly ran away, not daring to look back even when she accidentally stepped on a piece of brick and fell to the ground, yelling in pain.
Qiao Wei quickly walked over, helping Xiao Hong up. However, as soon as Xiao Hong stood firm, she shook off Qiao Wei's hand, saying fiercely, "Spare me the act, Qiao Wei. Don't think I'll be grateful just because you spared me. You stole Guo Wei from me, and you made my husband want to divorce me. I'll never let you off in this lifetime!"
Qiao Wei hurriedly said, "Xiao Hong, I really didn't know you were pursuing Guo Wei back then. Believe me!"
"Believe you?" Xiao Hong sneered, "You killed your own husband and then came to harm me. Do you think I'll believe you? To tell you the truth, I've already told Guo Wei's parents about you killing Guo Wei. Your show has come to an end. They will never forgive you!"
After saying these words, Xiao Hong left without looking back. Although she limped and hobbled, she walked away as fast as if she was afraid of being caught up by someone.
Xiao Hong's words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, completely stunning Qiao Wei.
"They all know?" Qiao Wei muttered, staring blankly ahead, her face as pale as paper.
