"No need, I still have things to do in town."
Before Zhao Qian could react, Er Zhu had already gotten into the car. As she watched the black luxury car drive away, Zhao Qian unconsciously waved.
He was still a stranger to her...
Today, Er Zhu went to town alone, while Wu Feng was dispatched to a neighboring city to oversee the company integration matters.
It was only six in the morning, and coupled with the thick fog, all vehicles had slowed down.
Only Er Zhu's black luxury car maintained its usual speed. Everyone assumed the driver was reckless, unaware that this fog was nothing to him!
Passing through a stretch of woods, Er Zhu was about to enter a tunnel. Halfway through, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared, blocking his car.
"Get out!"
The leader, a man with a scar on his brow, was masked and held a steel pipe, arrogantly pointing at Er Zhu in the car.
The burly men behind the scarred man also cursed and pointed at Er Zhu, gradually surrounding him.
Er Zhu glanced at the burly men on either side, then at the silent tunnel. A faint smile touched his lips.
Yang Lili, you brought this upon yourself!
"Are you deaf? Get out here now!"
With a sudden, loud bang, the car window next to Er Zhu shattered. Fortunately, it was bulletproof glass, preventing the fragments from flying.
With a curse, a steel pipe over a meter long was thrust through the car window. Er Zhu grabbed the pipe, and the scarred man's face was pressed against the window.
*Slap! Slap! Slap!*
Er Zhu wasted no time, raining blows on the man's fleshy face. Before long, the scarred man's face was swollen into a pig's head!
"Damn it, everyone, attack! Kill him, one million!"
The scarred man, unable to open his eyes from the pain, yelled at his subordinates behind him.
He was hired to teach someone a lesson, only to be the one taught!
That woman said the other guy was just a country bumpkin, but with this speed and strength, how could he be ordinary!
Clutching his disfigured face, the scarred man glared at Er Zhu with his small, angry eyes.
Now, his subordinates had surrounded this kid. This country bumpkin couldn't escape!
*Bang!*
Suddenly, the car door burst open, sending the surrounding thugs flying backward!
Some, quicker on their feet, dodged. As they tried to flee, they were met with a kick!
"Ouch!"
"Ah, my leg!"
"Brat, you broke my ribs, I'll kill you!"
"Aah... Aah!"
...
In just a few minutes, all of the scarred man's subordinates were lying on the ground, their agonizing cries filling the air.
Huh?
The scarred man, covering his face, looked at his scattered and groaning men, staring at Er Zhu in shock.
At this moment, he was absolutely certain this kid was no ordinary farmer!
He was a martial artist!
With that thought, the scarred man turned and tried to flee, clutching his face. They were just hired muscle; dying here wasn't worth it!
"Trying to leave? Too late!"
Seeing the scarred man's attempt to escape, Er Zhu stamped his foot and charged forward, grabbing him by the collar and dragging him back.
"Car window, one million. Wasting my time, three million!"
Before the scarred man could struggle, Er Zhu pointed at the broken car window and then at his wristwatch.
Four million?
That woman had only given him five hundred thousand!
Not only would he make no profit on this job, but he'd also have to pay out three and a half million!
And that didn't even include his injured brothers!
The scarred man's face turned green with rage. He wanted to retaliate, but seeing Er Zhu's sharp gaze, the words died on his lips.
"Sir, please, don't be angry with me. I was just doing as I was paid."
After a long thought, the scarred man fell to his knees with a thud, clasping his hands together and pleading.
"Brother, please spare us. We'll never dare again. We'll steer clear of you from now on, alright?"
"Brother, as long as you don't make us pay, we can take you to that woman!"
...
Seeing Er Zhu's silence, some of the thugs who were closer crawled over to beg for mercy.
Having been in the jianghu for so long, they naturally understood the principle of surrendering when outmatched, especially when the opponent was a martial arts master!
That damned bitch woman had lied to them! She should be sold to a bar!
Thinking of Er Zhu's fluid movements, the scarred man and the others cursed Yang Lili's entire lineage!
"Fine, then you'll come with me."
Seeing how desperately the thugs were crying, and checking the time, Er Zhu didn't waste any more words and threw the scarred man into the car.
If more people arrived, this matter would be harder to handle. Thus, it was better to take the man and find Yang Lili.
That woman clearly hadn't been beaten enough!
Thinking of Yang Lili's spiteful face, a cold glint flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. The black luxury car vanished instantly, leaving behind only the dozen groaning hooligans.
In a quiet cafe, Yang Lili elegantly sipped her coffee, gazing in the direction of Shiliu Village.
Scar Brother and his men had left for over an hour. She assumed that country bumpkin had been beaten half to death by now!
"To dare offend me, Yang Lili, look at what you are!"
Picturing Er Zhu being beaten to the ground by everyone, Yang Lili's lips curled into a smile, and she took another sip of coffee.
As soon as she placed the coffee cup on the table, Yang Lili heard the sound of a car. But when she turned her head, the smile froze on her face.
That country bumpkin had come with Brother Ba!
And that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that the countryman was unharmed, but Brother Ba was injured!
"It's this woman. She gave me fifty thousand to teach you a good lesson and told me to make you kneel and apologize to her!"
Seeing Yang Lili, the scarred man was so furious he was about to explode, pointing at her angrily and complaining.
It was one thing that the woman paid little, but her information was inaccurate! If there weren't people around, he would have chopped her up!
"Yes, I hired people to beat you. What can you, a country bumpkin, do to me?"
Seeing Brother Ba confess, Yang Lili didn't hide anything. She crossed her arms and walked slowly towards Er Zhu with an arrogant expression.
He was just a country bumpkin, so what if he came to settle scores?
He would only fare worse!
"So you're saying country folk can be bullied as they please?"
Seeing Yang Lili's idiotic demeanor, Er Zhu sneered and retorted, his gaze growing colder.
The principal had already said he was the big boss of the school. What was this fool thinking, daring to teach him a lesson!
"Yes, country folk are like ants to us from wealthy families, to be bullied as we please. We can even kill them!"
"Kid, I am a daughter of the Yang family. If you want to live, kneel down and kowtow to me. If you want to die, I'll grant you your wish right now!"
Yang Lili curled her lips and waved her hand. Instantly, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in!
