Chapter 512: Chapter 510: Pacification
Qin Hao was at a loss for words.
He wanted to stand up for Tang Rou, but the guy started self-mutilating instead?
No chance to step in at all!
"Smack! Brother Hao! I have eyes but can’t see! Smack! I’m worse than a pig or a dog! Smack! I deserve a beating, I’m brainless, I’m a pile of crap..."
This slap seemed to give the smoking man immense courage. As his tongue returned to normal, he started slapping himself and humiliating himself, "I’m a shameless scum, I have no humanity, I deserve a thousand deaths!"
Smack!
"Please, spare me a way to live!"
In the end, the smoking man’s cheeks were swollen, snot and tears all over, his face fully hysterical.
The bizarre scene left passersby stunned, the Tang family stunned, and even the smoking man’s bully henchmen stunned!
These tough bullies were wide-eyed and open-mouthed, faces as exaggerated as if they’d seen a real-life alien.
Are you kidding, the big brother scared to this extent?
Do the words "Qin Hao" hold such magic power?
Among all present, Tang Rou was the least surprised.
Her tears continued to flow, but they were tears of joy instead of sadness.
"Qin Hao!"
In an emotional outburst, Tang Rou ignored everything around her and dashed towards Qin Hao, throwing her soft body towards him...
Qin Hao opened his arms, welcoming the flying Tang Rou, and gently patted her delicate back after holding her, "I’m late, I’m really sorry!"
"Wah..."
Tang Rou couldn’t speak at all, her grievances causing her to sob and wail.
One could say, when the bullies came calling, she experienced the darkest moment of her life.
But Qin Hao’s arrival was like the clear sky after the rain, instantly dispelling the clouds over her head and letting her feel the taste of happiness.
Zhao Mengke watched this scene, pouted, and turned her head jealously.
But she also knew that this was Tang Rou’s moment of needing comfort, choosing to suppress her jealousy quietly and offer blessings.
Tang Rou was crying, but wasn’t the smoking man crying too?
The difference was, the former cried tears of joy, while the latter cried with genuine sorrow.
Qin Hao didn’t say a word, and the smoking man dared not stop his actions, continuing his "self-slap" behavior.
By this point, the corners of his mouth were completely split, his face not only swollen but also bruised and deformed to the extent that even his parents probably wouldn’t recognize him.
Smack!
The crisp sound of a slap snapped Tang Rou out of her bliss, she glanced back at the smoking man, her beautiful eyes flashing sympathy.
"Xiaorou, do you think that’s enough?"
Qin Hao noticed Tang Rou’s reluctant heart, deciding to leave the smoking man’s fate up to her.
"That’s enough, Xiaorou, our Tang family practices proper medicine, we must not act ruthlessly!"
Tang Rou’s father, a doctor for many years, had a kind heart, stepping in timely to interject.
"Father is right, though he’s hateful, this is enough..."
Tang Rou turned around, staring deeply into Qin Hao’s eyes as she spoke.
"Alright then, you may stop now."
Qin Hao had no choice but to order the smoking man.
"Thank you Brother Hao for sparing my life..."
The smoking man, with a sausage-like swollen face, spoke with saliva and blood mixed, and as soon as he finished speaking, his head slumped, falling into unconsciousness.
What on earth?
Qin Hao was speechless at the scene, he still had a bunch of questions to ask, and the troublemaker just collapsed like that?
The boss falls, but there are still minions.
Qin Hao turned his head, his eyes sweeping over the bullies, and every glance was like a sword piercing their hearts, filling them with fear and making them wish to beg for mercy on the spot.
Thud!
A particularly weak-willed bully couldn’t endure Qin Hao’s murderous gaze, choosing to kneel and beg for mercy, "Brother Hao, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old son, please spare me this once!"
Saying that, he copied the smoking man’s self-slapping method.
This action was like poking a hornet’s nest.
Immediately, the bullies all knelt down, competing to start self-slapping.
"Brother Hao, I’ve sinned too, I shouldn’t have bullied people nor done so many bad things, please spare me this once!"
"Master Hao, it’s my first time doing this kind of thing, please forgive me with your great generosity!"
The bullies all used their best rhetoric to describe their miserable lives, while not slacking off their self-slaps.
The air was filled with the sound of "smack smack" slaps, while the Tang family outside was watching with their hearts pounding.
By now, they must have realized that the commotion had subsided, and Qin Hao, who ended this disaster, naturally became their hero.
Every member of the Tang family looked at Qin Hao with eyes full of admiration and respect.
Qin Hao felt ashamed but could only shamelessly bask in this glory.
He couldn’t possibly tell the Tang family that it all started because of him, right?
Actually, just from the smoking man’s arrogant words, everything was clear.
This group of bullies was indeed targeting him, and the Tang family was just collateral damage.
Qin Hao could guess the situation’s outline, but there remained one last question.
Who on earth was the "Luo Dan" mentioned by the smoking man?
Afraid the bullies might follow in the smoking man’s footsteps into unconsciousness, once everyone’s faces were swollen enough, Qin Hao spoke, "Tell me who Luo Dan is and where to find him, then you can get lost."
As soon as these words were uttered, the bullies, as if listening to an imperial edict, scrambled and shouted.
"Luo Dan is the Gang Leader of the Huasheng Sect!"
"He’s jealous of Brother Hao’s power! That’s why he’s targeting you!"
"He’s at the Huasheng Sect headquarters now! Does Brother Hao need me to lead the way!"
Qin Hao: "..."
Just to get some information, is there really a need to be this diligent? Even offering to lead the way...
Qin Hao was left speechless by this bunch of goofballs, deliberately scowling and shouting, "All of you get out of my sight! If I catch you bullying again, I’ll wipe out your whole families!"
"Never again, we swear!"
The bullies, as if granted amnesty, carried the unconscious smoking man and ran out of the crowd at breakneck speed, breaking personal sprint records along the way.
Once the troublemakers cleared out, the surrounding crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers, with Qin Hao as the center of their discussion.
After all, no one dislikes a hero, especially a hero like Qin Hao with such good manners.
In a few short minutes, Qin Hao received more praise than he had in his entire life, with a few young women even boldly casting flirtatious glances, as if saying: Tonight’s fine!
"Mr. Qin, for your immense favor, the Tang family has no way to repay. As an old man, I can only promise that if Mr. Qin ever needs anything, the Tang family will risk our lives to help!"
At this moment, Tang Rou’s father stepped forward, even at his age, personally bowing to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao hurried to help the old man up with an elegant and polite smile, "No need for such courtesy, sir. Tang Rou is my friend, this is a duty of mine."
