“Bang!”
Xiao Qingdi’s head split open. His fate was even worse than Bai Yujing’s, with even more blood flowing out.
The guests’ expressions changed dramatically.
They hadn’t expected that Xiao Qingdi, who had only tried to persuade with a few words, would be smashed over the head with a brick by Ye Qiu.
“Who the hell is that guy? He’s way too ruthless!”
“He not only went all out against Young Master Bai but even dared to hit Young Master Xiao. Does he not know that Xiao Qingdi is the younger brother of the Champion Marquis?”
“He’s looking for death.”
“More than just looking for death, I think he’s insane.”
“Yeah, he’s definitely a lunatic! How else would he dare to do something this crazy?”
Xiao Qingdi had at least trained in martial arts. His body was much stronger than Bai Yujing’s. After taking a brick to the head, he sat motionless in his wheelchair, but a trace of hostility appeared in his eyes.
“You dare hit me?” Xiao Qingdi stared at Ye Qiu with cold, murderous eyes.
“Didn’t you already experience it firsthand?” Ye Qiu smiled. “If you think I went too easy on you just now, I don’t mind doing it again. I don’t find it troublesome at all.”
Smack!
Ye Qiu slapped Xiao Qingdi’s face with another brick. A sickening crack echoed, and Xiao Qingdi’s nasal bone shattered instantly, his once-handsome face now covered in blood.
Xiao Qingdi remained motionless in his wheelchair, staring intensely at Ye Qiu, the murderous intent in his eyes growing stronger.
Ye Qiu acted as if he hadn’t noticed at all, laughing as he said, “Confucius once said: If you fight, use a brick! Never swing randomly, aim for the face, hit with force. If you miss, try again. If your right hand gets tired, use your left. Since you’re already fighting, why not invite a friend? Would that not be a great joy?”
“Do you two want to try?”
Ye Qiu turned to look at Tang Fei and Long Ye, grinning. “Smashing someone’s face with a brick feels amazing.”
Tang Fei twitched his mouth and turned away.
Long Ye, without a second’s hesitation, strode over, took the brick from Ye Qiu’s hand, and stood before Xiao Qingdi, laughing loudly.
“Xiao Qingdi, bet you didn’t expect this, huh? I’m back!”
“Back then, you beat me so badly I had to pick my teeth off the floor. I’ve never forgotten that humiliation.”
“So tell me, should I take this chance to get my revenge?”
“Long Ye, do you want to die?” Xiao Qingdi roared.
Smack!
Long Ye swung the brick hard against Xiao Qingdi’s face. In an instant, his entire face looked like a car crash scene—utterly gruesome.
“F*** you! You still dare to threaten me at this point? Who else would I hit if not you?”
“You think you’re still the old Xiao Qingdi?”
“Now you’re just a cripple. I can beat you whenever I want! If you’ve got the skills, fight back! Pfft!”
Long Ye spat directly on Xiao Qingdi’s face.
Ye Qiu was stunned. This guy was even more ruthless than he was. He couldn’t help but feel relieved that Xiao Qingdi was already crippled—otherwise, he’d definitely be going after Long Ye with his life.
Xiao Qingdi clutched the wheelchair’s armrests tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Long Ye, wanting nothing more than to devour him alive.
Being spat on in front of so many people—this was an unbearable humiliation!
“The f*** are you staring at? Keep glaring and I’ll dig your eyeballs out!” Long Ye cursed. “Don’t think just because you’re the Champion Marquis’s brother that I’d be scared of you.”
“Other than having your brother as backup, what else do you have?”
“You’re just a useless piece of trash!”
Trash? He called me trash?!
“Ahhh—!”
Xiao Qingdi screamed in rage, but it was futile. His legs were already crippled, and he couldn’t even stand up. Despite having all his martial skills, he was completely powerless. The frustration was unbearable.
At this moment, Xiao Qingdi wanted nothing more than to stand up—an urge stronger than he had ever felt before.
“I’ll endure this for now, but the day I stand up again, I will kill you!”
Xiao Qingdi swore silently.
“I thought you’d at least try to stand like a man, but it turns out you really have become a useless cripple.”
Long Ye sneered, then added, “Since I was taught from a young age not to bully the disabled, I’ll stop now.”
Smack!
Long Ye threw the brick away and turned back to Tang Fei’s side.
At that moment, Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Qingdi and said, “Your brother saved my life once. Because of that, I’ll let you off today.”
“But remember my words—don’t mess with me again. I hold grudges. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so easy on you.”
“And next time, if you hire assassins, find stronger ones. Guys like Asura and Rakshasa? Crushing them is easier for me than killing an ant.”
Xiao Qingdi’s pupils shrank violently.
He was right—those assassins, Asura and Rakshasa, had been hired by him.
When Xiao Qingdi learned that Ye Qiu had arrived in the capital, he immediately schemed, offering a high price to hire killers.
If they succeeded, he would get his revenge. If they failed, Bai Yujing would take the blame.
After all, Bai Yujing had already sent so many people after Ye Qiu. Adding one or two more assassins wouldn’t make a difference—Ye Qiu wouldn’t suspect him.
He had been extremely discreet about it.
How did Ye Qiu find out?
Ye Qiu, of course, wasn’t going to tell him that the God of War had investigated it. Instead, he warned Xiao Qingdi coldly, “Remember, don’t provoke me again. Even if the Champion Marquis intervenes, he won’t be able to save you.”
After saying this, Ye Qiu ignored the shocked gazes around him and strode over to Bai Bing.
It had been a while since he’d seen her. Bai Bing looked thinner, her complexion dull even under layers of makeup—it was clear she had suffered a lot.
“Bing-jie, I’m sorry for making you go through this.” Ye Qiu’s face was full of guilt.
Bai Bing first shook her head, then suddenly threw herself into Ye Qiu’s arms, bursting into tears.
They held each other tightly.
Only then did the guests realise—Ye Qiu had stormed the Bai family’s estate for Bai Bing.
Half a minute later.
Bai Bing pulled away from Ye Qiu’s embrace, wiped her tears, and asked, “Was it worth it? Doing all this for me?”
“It was.” Ye Qiu looked her straight in the eyes and said firmly, “For you, I’d give up the entire world.”
In that moment, Bai Bing’s tears flowed again.
“Don’t cry anymore. You won’t look good if you keep crying.” Ye Qiu gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, then turned to the handsome man in a white suit, Pei Jie, and said coldly, “Bai Bing is my woman. I’m taking her away. Do you have any objections?”
“Go ahead.”
Pei Jie’s face was expressionless. What could he do? He didn’t want to end up like Bai Yujing and the others, getting his face smashed by a brick.
This madman had even dared to hit Xiao Qingdi—why would he care about him?
“Good. Consider this me owing you a favour. If you ever need something, come find me.”
With that, Ye Qiu held Bai Bing’s hand and said affectionately, “Bing-jie, let’s go.”
“Mm.” Bai Bing nodded.
Just as they turned to leave, a cold voice rang out—
“You think you can just walk away after causing trouble? Do you take the Bai family for a playground, where you can come and go as you please?”
