Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, Luo Meili hadn’t spoken yet when Wu Xiaoru already interjected with a cold laugh.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you’re at death’s door and still having the nerve to boast here?"
"I’ve been with you for so long, why didn’t I notice before that you’re such an egomaniac? You’re surrounded by helpers called by Little Long, and you’re still putting on an act?"
Zhang Xiaoshan gave Wu Xiaoru a cold glance.
"Hmph, my ability is beyond your imagination, you’ll definitely pay for your foolish actions."
"I will make you realize how big a mistake leaving me was."
"Pfft." Wu Xiaoru wasn’t impressed at all.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaolong, who was leading the way, had already stepped into the crowd.
"Hehe, Brother Tuzi has personally taken action, you are done for, kid."
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you better start repenting."
When Wang Xiaolong shouted the name Zhang Xiaoshan, Baldy Liu, who was leisurely walking at the back, shuddered. His elusive expert was also named Zhang Xiaoshan—could it be a coincidence? Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
He quickened his pace involuntarily.
When he bypassed the crowd and stepped into the circle, seeing Zhang Xiaoshan’s face clearly, Baldy Liu was utterly dumbfounded.
Had he found his savior?
Baldy Liu’s body trembled uncontrollably.
He was genuinely thrilled.
But in the eyes of Wang Xiaolong, Huang Gou, and others, it clearly looked like he was infuriated.
Huang Gou limped over to Baldy Liu’s side, sobbing as he spoke.
"Cousin, it’s this guy, he’s too ruthless. I told him I’m your cousin, that you have my back, but he didn’t care at all, clearly showing no respect for you."
Wang Xiaolong chimed in to support him.
"Right, Brother Tuzi, your reputation cannot be tarnished by anyone. That I took a small loss today doesn’t really matter, since I’m just a nobody, but you’re the famous underground kingpin of Qingshan County. If this gets out, your reputation will suffer."
"You must not let this kid off easily today, to let him know, Lord Ma has three eyes."
"Gabble, gabble, gabble..."
The instigating words of these two made Baldy Liu clench his fists tightly, his teeth grinding loudly.
Of course, it wasn’t out of hatred for Zhang Xiaoshan but from frustration with Wang Xiaolong and Huang Gou, these two blockheads.
He had been searching high and low for Zhang Xiaoshan, and having finally found him, who would have thought he’d meet him in such circumstances?
Since he already had disputes with Zhang Xiaoshan, even crying and begging might not convince Zhang Xiaoshan to help his uncle, and now his own men had blindly provoked Zhang Xiaoshan—wasn’t this pushing him into a dead end?
Seeing Baldy Liu looking fierce and menacing, everyone thought that he was utterly enraged by Zhang Xiaoshan, possibly about to unleash a major move.
"Brother Tuzi, it was I who caused this mess, so please, take it out on me."
At this moment, though Luo Meili was terrified, she resolutely stood in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, arms stretched out, like a hen protecting her chick.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, little lady, don’t rush. I’ll deal with you in a moment and show you what your Uncle Huang Gou is made of."
Huang Gou drooled as he eyed Luo Meili’s attractive figure.
Wu Xiaoru was furious to the point of incoherence, she berated Luo Meili loudly.
"You whore, I knew long ago that you weren’t a decent woman. It was you who instigated Zhang Xiaoshan to break off our engagement, wasn’t it?"
"Hmph, aren’t you just lacking a man? Well, there are dozens of men here today, you’ll get what you deserve."
"You, you..." Luo Meili’s face reddened with anger from the insulting words.
Just then, Baldy Liu suddenly shouted furiously without warning and fiercely slapped Wu Xiaoru.
A crisp sound echoed, Wu Xiaoru’s nose bled profusely, and she fell onto the ground, sitting down hard.
Suddenly, Huang Gou, Wang Xiaolong, Luo Meili, and some of Zhang Xiaoshan’s unfamiliar underlings were all confused.
The previously noisy scene became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
