"As a husband, instead of cherishing your woman and children, you beat your wife and squander your daughter's life-saving money. Living like this, man, you're a failure!"
In the alley, Shen Shaolong grabbed Zhang Senma's hand and said unhurriedly, his tone filled with mockery.
"Damn it! Who the hell are you? It's none of your business if I discipline my own woman! Get lost!"
Zhang Senma was furious. Hearing Shen Shaolong's words, his pride was deeply hurt, and he could only cover it with anger.
He looked at Shen Shaolong with malicious eyes and tried to yank his hand away, but no matter how hard he tried, his hand seemed to be fixed and couldn't be pulled from Shen Shaolong's grasp.
"Damn it, if you don't want to die, let go of me quickly!"
Zhang Senma cursed. But as soon as he finished speaking, he was sent flying out, kicked away by Shen Shaolong.
"Hmph, just an ant, daring to disrespect this young master?!"
Shen Shaolong's tone grew colder. If this weren't the territory of Da Qin, for that one sentence Zhang Senma just uttered, he would have already died!
The kicked Zhang Senma wanted to continue cursing, but when he saw the four bodyguards behind Shen Shaolong and the demeanor of their group, he quickly shut his mouth, his body falling heavily to the ground.
His intuition told him that this group was not to be trifled with! At the very least, he himself couldn't afford to offend them!!!
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoduo was stunned. She had already prepared herself to be beaten, but Shen Shaolong's sudden appearance left her momentarily frozen.
It's him! Zhang Xiaoduo thought, recalling how he had sent people to invite her before, and she had refused. Logically, he should dislike her for not giving him face, so why would he help her?
"Miss, are you alright? My subordinate was a bit rude at the bar earlier. I apologize on his behalf. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Shen Shaolong bent down and extended a hand to Zhang Xiaoduo, intending to help her up.
Zhang Xiaoduo came back to her senses. Looking at the hand before her, her eyes hesitated, but she did not accept Shen Shaolong's help. Instead, she stood up on her own.
No one noticed the sudden flash of coldness in Shen Shaolong's eyes, which quickly vanished.
"Thank you. I've already forgotten what happened before, so you don't need to apologize for me. And thank you for helping me, but this is my own family matter, so you don't need to trouble yourself."
Zhang Xiaoduo said, her face filled with gratitude. Although she knew that if she asked, this man, who clearly had an extraordinary status, would definitely help her, her intuition told her that this man had ulterior motives, giving her a very bad feeling.
"Heh, Miss, you're too polite. I've always been someone who likes to meddle. Seeing a beautiful woman like you being bullied, I felt pity for you, which is why I couldn't help but intervene. Don't worry, you don't need to worry about troubling me. Doing things for a beauty is no trouble at all for me."
Shen Shaolong spoke, pretending not to understand the meaning of refusal in Zhang Xiaoduo's words.
However, he sneered inwardly. This woman had no way out, yet she was still so reserved. He couldn't understand what she was persisting for.
"Heh, Zhang Xiaoduo, you're something else. Where did you find such a powerful lover? He clearly has money. Go ask him for money, why are you bothering me?! Ruining my good deed!"
At this moment, Zhang Senma's eyes darted, and he looked at Zhang Xiaoduo, speaking mockingly. Then he turned to Shen Shaolong and said:
"Brother, let's make a deal. This bitch is my wife, but our feelings have faded. Give me some money, and she's yours!"
"Zhang Senma, shut up!!! Are you even a man?!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoduo's face instantly flushed red. She felt utterly despairing. Not only had the man in front of her spent all her money, but now he wanted to use her to exchange for money, treating her like merchandise. She was, after all, his wife! They had loved each other once, but who would have thought Zhang Senma would turn out like this? He was simply unworthy of being called a man.
"Just an ant, fit to trade with this young master? Slap him!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoduo finished speaking, Shen Shaolong's voice echoed in her ears. Immediately, a dark figure shot out and appeared before Zhang Senma.
"Slap, slap!!"
Two slaps were delivered, sending Zhang Senma flying backward. Both sides of his face were swollen red, and blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.
"Hmph! Such a virtuous wife, Zhang小姐, you don't cherish her, but someone else will!"
Shen Shaolong said lightly, looking at Zhang Xiaoduo with burning eyes. He believed that by now, she should have developed some favorable feelings for him.
As for Zhang Senma, he was completely stunned, filled with humiliation. He touched his aching face and was about to flare up, but when he saw the cold eyes of the bodyguard who hit him, his heart inexplicably chilled.
That kind of gaze, he was too familiar with it. It was a gaze that showed utter disregard for life.
"You are martial artists!!! You dare to attack ordinary people, aren't you afraid of being punished by the guards?!"
Zhang Senma spoke with a trembling voice.
"Hey, since you know we are martial artists, you still dare to seek death? You should be thankful this is Da Qin, otherwise, you would already be dead!"
Shen Shaolong's bodyguard replied, his tone icy, his gaze looking at Zhang Senma as if he were already dead.
Zhang Senma was suddenly filled with terror. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but the words got stuck in his throat. He was scared!
"Heh, Miss Zhang, don't listen to my subordinates talking nonsense. They don't mean anything. This is Da Qin's Jiangnan, we don't kill people indiscriminately."
At this moment, Shen Shaolong spoke, continuing to look at Zhang Xiaoduo with amusement. First, he avenged her, then he revealed some of his identity. One was to show goodwill, the other was to coerce.
He wanted to see what attitude this woman would have. Would she be submissive to him, or would she continue to be reserved?
"Ah hah?!!"
Zhang Xiaoduo came back to her senses and let out an involuntary startled cry. To be honest, she was frightened and her heart was in utter chaos. She was just an ordinary woman, how could she have experienced such a situation?
"Thank you, thank you, I, I have something to do, I'll leave now."
Zhang Xiaoduo spoke flusteredly. Regardless of whether this mysterious man was good or bad to her, she didn't want to stay any longer.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoduo prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, Shen Shaolong's bodyguard blocked her path.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoduo's face instantly turned pale. She looked back at Shen Shaolong, her eyes filled with pleading.
"Miss Zhang, are you really leaving just like that? Aren't you going to save your daughter? You should know that as long as you are slightly compliant with this young master, I can solve the difficulties you encounter with a mere flick of my finger."
Shen Shaolong's voice sounded. He walked leisurely behind Zhang Xiaoduo and then reached out to stroke her cheek.
