Just as Ye Qiu and Tangtang were about to kiss, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Immediately, a familiar voice rang out, “Slut, you still claim you’re not a couple? If I hadn’t shown up, were you planning to put on a live show here?”
Tangtang turned her head and saw Zhang Xiaoru nestled in the arms of a young man, accompanied by a large group of people. She hurriedly said, “Sister Xiaoru, it’s not what you think…”
“Enough, stop pretending. I hate people like you the most, acting all pure and virtuous on the surface, but secretly just a loose woman.”
Zhang Xiaoru pointed at Ye Qiu and said to the young man, “Shan Ge, this is the bastard who hit me.”
“You dare hit my woman? You’ve got some guts!” The young man’s Mandarin was awkward, laced with a heavy Hong Kong accent.
Ye Qiu ignored the young man, his gaze sweeping over the others’ faces as he asked, “Who kicked the door just now?”
The young man, seeing Ye Qiu disregard him, was instantly furious, “Punk, I’m talking to you, are you deaf?”
Ye Qiu still ignored him, repeating, “Who kicked the door just now?”
“It was me!” said a bald man next to the young man, his accent also thick with a Hong Kong twang.
The man wore a black trench coat, his head completely shaved, and he sported sunglasses, clearly a bodyguard.
“Do you know you ruined my moment?” Ye Qiu asked.
The bald man was arrogant, saying in broken Mandarin, “So what?”
“So what?”
Ye Qiu grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
“I’m a pretty easy-going guy, but I’ve got a bit of a temper. You ruined my moment, so I’m going to take one of your legs!” Ye Qiu said.
At that, the bald man laughed loudly, “Shan Ge, did you hear that? This punk says he’s going to take my leg. He really doesn’t know his place.”
The young man said coldly, “Since he wants one of your legs, break all three of his.”
“Yes!” The bald man received the order and walked toward Ye Qiu with a smug grin, saying, “Kid, you’ll pay for your big mouth. Die!”
The bald man suddenly lashed out with a kick.
The kick aimed straight for Ye Qiu’s crotch, its malicious intent clear.
Ye Qiu stood still, not moving or dodging, just smiling at the bald man.
The bald man was a bit surprised, as under normal circumstances, Ye Qiu should have tried to dodge by now.
Of course, his speed was fast, and he didn’t believe Ye Qiu could avoid it.
But even if you can’t dodge, you’d at least make an effort, right?
It’s human instinct to react to danger, yet Ye Qiu showed no intention of dodging.
“Idiot!”
The bald man cursed, his right foot landing on Ye Qiu’s crotch.
The next second, an astonishing scene unfolded.
After the bald man’s right foot struck Ye Qiu’s crotch, Ye Qiu didn’t collapse or show any sign of pain, as if he felt nothing at all.
How could this be?
The bald man was stunned.
“Want to try again?” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
The bald man was enraged, thinking Ye Qiu was mocking him. In fact, Ye Qiu was indeed mocking him.
“Courting death!”
The bald man increased his force and kicked Ye Qiu’s crotch again.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound.
Ye Qiu stood his ground, unmoved, still smiling.
“What the hell is going on?”
The bald man was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, he recalled a video he’d seen online about a miraculous technique called “Hanging a Thousand Pounds,” where one ties a brick to their private parts and does squats daily, eventually making it as hard as iron, impervious to attacks and unstoppable in battle.
Could this guy have practiced that technique?
The bald man thought it was the only explanation, as nothing else made sense.
Little did he know, Ye Qiu had cultivated the Nine-Turn Dragon Art, his physical body far beyond normal human limits.
Moreover, Ye Qiu was channeling his internal energy to silently protect his “good brother.”
Let alone two kicks from the bald man, even a bullet wouldn’t harm him.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu had an idea.
“Why not use this method to deal with Sister Lin and Sister Wan later, heh heh…”
Unbeknownst to him, Tangtang, covering her mouth, looked shocked.
“My God, how can he be so tough? Can Lin Jingzhi and Bai Bing handle that?”
Tangtang suddenly felt scared.
“What if one day he tries to deal with me? Would I faint?”
Zhang Xiaoru was also shocked. Having been in the entertainment industry for years, she’d never seen someone as extraordinary as Ye Qiu.
“Such a pity. If you hadn’t hit me, I might’ve kept you around.”
“But now, you’re done for.”
“Bastard!”
Zhang Xiaoru cursed inwardly.
As for the young man, he stared at Ye Qiu with envy, thinking, If I were that tough, would I still need to take pills?
“Want to try one more time?” Ye Qiu said to the bald man with a smile.
The bald man kicked again.
“Damn it, I tell you to try, and you just obey like a dog.”
Ye Qiu struck, smashing a fist down on the bald man’s incoming foot.
Before the bald man’s foot could reach Ye Qiu, his knee took Ye Qiu’s punch.
Crack!
His knee shattered instantly.
“Ah…” The bald man collapsed, screaming in agony.
Seeing this, the young man’s expression shifted slightly.
He knew his bodyguard’s skills were comparable to a special forces soldier, untouchable by a dozen men, yet Ye Qiu had crippled his leg with one punch.
The young man’s expression wavered, then he said to Ye Qiu, “No wonder you’re so arrogant, you know kung fu. But your skills are too weak.”
“Still, I’m a man who values talent.”
“If you’re willing to follow me and let me have your woman for a few days, I can spare your life.”
Zhang Xiaoru’s expression changed at those words, “Shan Ge…”
“I know what you’re about to say. Shut up. I don’t like people telling me what to do,” the young man said domineeringly, then asked Ye Qiu, “What do you think?”
“Not much,” Ye Qiu said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“Since you’re asking for death, I’ll beat you into submission. Go!” The young man gave the order, and the six bodyguards around him rushed forward.
Ye Qiu swiftly delivered a few slaps.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
In an instant, the six bodyguards were knocked to the ground, wailing in pain.
Zhang Xiaoru was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Ye Qiu, who looked thin and weak, to be so formidable.
“Isn’t he a doctor? How is he this strong?” Zhang Xiaoru glared at Tangtang with resentment, “Hmph, that slut must be lying.”
The young man hadn’t expected this outcome either, his face turning grim.
At that moment, Ye Qiu raised his head, his icy gaze landing on the young man.
