Old Liu repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. I'll even find out how many meals he eats a day."
Zhao Qiushan said with a smile, "I trust you to handle things, Lao Liu. When your son graduates from university, I'll arrange a job for him."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qiushan turned and walked into the yard. After taking two steps, he walked out again and took out his phone. "Zhang Biao, come out. I need to talk to you," he said.
Five minutes later, a man built like a tank came over. When he saw Zhao Qiuyan, he greeted her respectfully, "Ms. Zhao, what would you like me to do?"
Zhao Qiushan lowered his voice, "Qiuyan brought a boyfriend home. I have a task for you. When Qiuyan and he are apart, pretend you don't know him and make trouble for him."
Zhang Biao frowned. "Mr. Zhao, do you want to embarrass him? Then I'll just give him a scolding to show him who's boss."
Zhao Qiushan shook his head. "If that's all, I would have asked someone else. You're a bodyguard and know martial arts. You should use your advantage. Beat him up, and make it hard."
Zhang Biao nodded. Zhao Qiushan's words were orders, and if he wanted to work for the Zhao family, he had to obey. However, he knew nothing about Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend. "Mr. Zhao, what does he do? Does he know martial arts?" He wanted to know clearly to ensure there were no mistakes when he took action.
The image of Ye Changqing greeting him with a smile came to Zhao Qiushan's mind. Ye Changqing looked gentle. Zhao Qiushan said with certainty, "Look at him. He seems so frail. I bet he spends his energy on women, not on martial arts practice. There's no way he knows martial arts. Beating him will be like playing with a child."
Zhang Biao now had an idea of what to do. He wanted to know what kind of result Zhao Qiushan expected. "Mr. Zhao, should I cripple him or kill him?" Beating someone to the point of being crippled didn't bother him psychologically. If there were any problems, the Zhao family would take care of it. As for killing, he just said it casually to show his loyalty to Zhao Qiushan.
Zhao Qiushan was satisfied with Zhang Biao's attitude and nodded approvingly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't cripple or kill him. But make sure he loses face. Hit him in the face. It would be best if you give him a black eye, break his nose and mouth, and if possible, knock out a few of his teeth. The more 狼狈 (miserable) he looks, the better."
Zhang Biao promptly gave a thumbs - up. "Great idea. When a new son - in - law comes to meet his in - laws and gets beaten black and blue with a few teeth knocked out, let's see how he can stay with his face intact."
Zhao Qiushan grinned maliciously. "Yes, that's the effect I want. If the boyfriend makes a fool of himself, she'll also lose face."
When Ye Changqing saw the courtyard house for the first time, he couldn't help but look around more. This yard was a combination of several courtyard houses, and he felt like he had entered a maze. As he followed Zhao Qiuyan inside, passing through several courtyards, Zhao Qiuyan pointed to the last one and said, "This is my home."
Thinking about meeting his future in - laws, Ye Changqing suddenly felt nervous, and his pace slowed down.
Zhao Qiuyan entered the yard first and called out for her parents several times, but there was no response. She took out her phone and made a call. Learning that her parents had gone to the supermarket, she turned to Ye Changqing and said, "My parents are at the supermarket. You can rest here, and I'll go pick them up."
Knowing that his future in - laws were not at home for the moment, Ye Changqing's nervousness eased a little. "Okay, you go. I'll wait here."
After Zhao Qiuyan left, he wandered around the yard. After waiting for a long time and still no one came back, he walked towards the front yard. Just as he left the yard, he saw someone coming towards him. The person was surprised to see him and asked, "Hey, which yard are you from?"
Ye Changqing thought for a moment and then replied, "I'm from this yard..."
Zhang Biao interrupted Ye Changqing, "Nonsense. I know everyone in this yard. You must be mistaken."
Ye Changqing didn't like Zhang Biao's overbearing tone. "I'm not mistaken. I'm Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend."
Zhang Biao sneered in his heart. Boy, your mistake is being Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend. Once you stepped into this yard, you were doomed.
However, Zhang Biao continued to act on his face, and his acting was quite exaggerated. He pointed at Ye Changqing and said, "Ridiculous! How could Ms. Zhao like you? You... you're not here to steal something, are you? There was a theft in the house a few days ago, and I lost my watch. So, it's you!" As he spoke, he moved forward to attack.
Ye Changqing felt that this person was acting strangely and quickly stepped back. "Don't do it. I'm Zhao Qiuyan's boyfriend. You can call Zhao Qiuyan to verify."
Zhang Biao thought to himself, I'm going to beat you up until you have a black eye, a broken nose, a busted mouth, and lost teeth.
He shouted, "You still dare to lie to me. There are dozens of people chasing Ms. Zhao, but she doesn't like any of them because no man in this world is worthy of her. You're even less worthy! Don't try to deceive me. Stop! If you don't stop, I'll attack!"
Since he couldn't explain, Ye Changqing could only keep retreating.
Zhang Biao thought the time was right and lunged at Ye Changqing, throwing a right - hand swing punch at Ye Changqing's temple.
Ye Changqing quickly retreated, shouting, "It's a misunderstanding. It's really a misunderstanding. You can check with Zhao Qiushan. He knows me."
After retreating several steps until he was against the wall with nowhere to go.
Seeing this, Zhang Biao knew it was his chance and attacked more quickly, punching at Ye Changqing's temple again.
Ye Changqing had always felt that something was wrong. He had explained, but this guy didn't even think about verifying. And he aimed at vital points!
Seeing another punch coming and having no way to avoid it, a cold light flashed in Ye Changqing's eyes. He shifted half a step to the side, leaned forward, and punched Zhang Biao's abdomen.
Bang!
There was a dull sound, and Zhang Biao's body flew backward like a broken sack for more than two meters and crashed to the ground. Then he curled up like a shrimp, clutching his stomach in pain.
Not far away, at the corner of the wall, Zhao Qiushan was watching excitedly. Suddenly seeing this, he opened his mouth in shock and couldn't close it for a long time.
Is this guy so good at fighting?
At the entrance of the yard, Zhao Qiuyan had just come in with a middle - aged couple when they saw this scene.
Zhao Qiuyan was confused. "What's going on?"
When Zhang Biao saw Zhao Qiuyan coming back, his face changed at first, knowing he was in trouble. Then he had an idea. He clutched his stomach and started wailing, "Ms. Zhao, there's a thief in the yard. I wanted to catch him, but he said he's your boyfriend. How could someone like him be your boyfriend? When I questioned him, he hit me. Ms. Zhao, run away quickly. He's violent. It'll be too late if you don't go."
Zhao Qiuyan was about to ask Ye Changqing what had happened.
Her father, Zhao Mingtao, heard that Ye Changqing was violent and immediately frowned, looking at Ye Changqing. Seeing that Ye Changqing still had a clenched fist, as if he hadn't had enough of fighting, a hint of disgust flashed in Zhao Mingtao's eyes. "Are you Ye Changqing?"
Ye Changqing glared at Zhang Biao. This guy first said he was a thief, and now he accused him of being violent. But he didn't have time to settle scores with him now. He had to deal with his future father - in - law first. "Yes, I'm Ye Changqing. There was just a misunderstanding."
Zhao Mingtao looked at Zhang Biao's painful state and snorted coldly at Ye Changqing, "You hit someone because of a misunderstanding?"
