She charged into the crowd like a human tank.
In her previous life, she wasn't just a doctor; the Dong family had international connections and had established an international mercenary corps starting from her great-grandfather's generation. She grew up among men. Her maternal grandparents came from a family of scholars, passing down medical skills and the refined arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But she also had a high talent for martial arts and was once known as Steel Teeth Rabbit for her formidable fighting skills.
Thinking about her naive, childish face of the past compared to her current dark and pockmarked face made her want to shed a handful of bitter tears.
"Dong Dabao?"
Zhou Dachun was both shocked and angry. It seemed she had some training, charging at Dong Huiying to fight, but she got kicked away by her.
Yue Ning bit his cheek in schadenfreude when he saw this scene.
So satisfying, unbelievably satisfying.
Zhou Dachun got up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, then glared at Dong Huiying malevolently.
Dong Huiying was mystified by her glare.
What? These people rushed in to smash things; she was just defending herself, right? She was in the right, and with the truth on her side, she could go anywhere under the heavens.
"Not bad, Miss Dong, you've got some moves," Zhou Dachun said as she pulled out a small knife, with the other tough women following suit.
Yue Ning's eyes widened momentarily before he vigilantly protected the frail Liang Yixuan.
Dong Huiying dodged left and right, but she was overwhelmed by the sheer number of opponents, each armed with a knife. A large cut appeared on her arm, bleeding profusely, which infuriated her. She stopped holding back, disarming opponents with her bare hands and quickly subdued Zhou Dachun with the knife at her throat.
"Stop!"
To catch the bandits, catch the leader first. She roared with strong Qi, and the dozen or so tough women were instantly frozen as if under a spell. The Liang Family Brothers, however, were not surprised by this scene.
Because they well knew that despite having many flaws, this little clown possessed immense innate strength, capable of smashing boulders weighing over a hundred pounds with her bare hands and killing a mad bull with a single punch.
Zhou Dachun was also somewhat confused, her face showing uncertain emotions. "Stop, listen to her, everyone stop!"
After halting her sisters-in-crime, she distorted her face, tremblingly said, "Miss Dong, you'd better be careful, all right? I was just following the rules. You owe Taihang Gambling House two taels of silver, and it's been half a month since you've paid. Our gambling house can't just watch that silver go to waste, right?"
"Following the rules?" Dong Huiying revealed a grin, her teeth gleaming eerily white.
Zhou Dachun, with a gloomy expression, still honestly said, "These are the rules set by Master Hong. If someone doesn't pay back their money, we take their family's valuable possessions, and even the men of the household, as collateral. They are not released until the debt is paid."
Zhou Dachun was from out of town, later joining Master Hong's domain with her sisters. She was fiercely loyal to Master Hong.
The girl owed two taels of silver to the gambling house and kept dragging her feet on the payment. As a qualified minion, she couldn't wait for orders from her master for everything; she had to take the initiative to relieve her master of worries, so she immediately brought people over.
However, before coming, someone had warned her that the girl had Innate Divine Strength and was a notorious bully known for miles around.
She didn't believe it because the girl was dark and unremarkable, covered in pockmarks, and petite. She didn't look like an eighteen-year-old but more like an undeveloped girl, maybe around eleven or twelve. She couldn't believe she wouldn't be able to subdue her.
But reality proved otherwise, striking her face too fast, a series of slaps leaving her cheeks swollen and sore.
