The two women didn’t know Ye Qiu, and being suddenly struck, they glared at him furiously.
“Who are you?”
“What gives you the right to hit us?”
“I’m telling you, apologise to us right now, or we’ll expose you.”
“We’re influencers with millions of followers, if you don’t want trouble, apologise immediately.”
The two women barked at Ye Qiu.
“Apologise? You think you deserve it?”
Slap! Slap!
Ye Qiu landed two more slaps on their faces, scolding, “Someone gave their precious life to save you, and not only do you show no gratitude, you insult their parents, is that human?”
“Don’t talk about your measly millions of followers, even if you had tens of millions, you should know a drop of kindness deserves a flood of repayment.”
“Apologise to the boy’s parents now.”
Pah!
One woman spat, cursing, “I didn’t ask him to save me, why should I apologise?”
“Hmph, apologise? In your dreams!” the other chimed in.
“You really won’t apologise?” Ye Qiu’s face darkened, a chilling aura radiating from him.
“I won’t, what can you do about it?”
“You should be the one apologising, or I’ll call the police, say you assaulted us, and have them lock you up.”
The two women snapped arrogantly.
“Even now, you show no remorse, you deserve this.”
Slap slap!
“This slap is for the boy, he never should’ve saved you.”
Slap slap!
“This slap is for his parents, they raised a good son, only for you to ruin him.”
Slap slap!
“This slap is for your parents, I can’t imagine how they raised such heartless creatures.”
Ye Qiu delivered three consecutive slaps.
The women’s mouths bled, their faces swelling visibly, looking utterly wretched.
The onlookers didn’t intervene, instead cheering:
“Well struck!”
“Ungrateful wolves deserve it!”
“What a pair of menaces!”
One woman clutched her face, pointing at Ye Qiu with venom, “You wait, this isn’t over.”
“Not over? You think I’d let you off easy?”
Ye Qiu sneered, unleashing a cold, oppressive presence that bore down on them.
The two women, mere mortals, couldn’t withstand Ye Qiu’s aura, feeling as if they faced a demon, gripped by instinctive fear.
“What, what do you want?”
“We’re warning you, don’t mess around.”
The women stammered in panic.
Ye Qiu addressed them, “I have three conditions.”
“First, apologise to the boy’s parents.”
“Second, the boy died saving you, you’ll wear mourning clothes for him and provide his parents financial compensation.”
“Third, his parents lost their only son, with no one to care for them in old age, you’ll take his place and look after them till the end.”
“Agree to these, and I’ll let you go, otherwise…”
“No way!” Before he finished, one woman shrieked, “I’m not caring for them in their old age.”
“And you?” Ye Qiu asked the other.
“I won’t pay a dime,” she replied.
Ye Qiu grabbed their hair and flung them out.
Splash!
Splash!
Both women landed in the river.
“Ah, help!”
“I’m going to die!”
They flailed, crying for rescue.
The crowd was stunned by Ye Qiu’s move, no one expected him to toss them into the river.
It was satisfying, sure, but if they died, Ye Qiu could be in trouble.
“Director, let it go, I’ll pull them out,” Fu Yanjie said, stripping off his shirt to jump in.
The boy’s parents added, “Young man, thank you for everything, but if they die, you’ll go to jail, let it be.”
The crowd shouted, “Quick, save—”
“No one moves!”
Ye Qiu’s roar, backed by a massive presence, froze everyone in place.
Watching the women struggle in the water, he said, “Let’s see how long it takes for their consciences to kick in.”
The women thrashed and yelled, “You lunatic, we’ll haunt you as ghosts!”
“Bastard, I’ll fight you to the end, sob sob sob…”
Unable to swim, water flooded their throats as death loomed, their cries growing desperate.
The onlookers wanted to help, but with Ye Qiu standing there, no one dared move.
Two minutes later.
“We… we were wrong… we agree to your conditions…”
“Please… save us…”
The women finally begged for mercy.
“Should’ve known earlier, why be so stubborn?”
Ye Qiu leapt forward.
The crowd watched as his feet tapped the water’s surface a few times, reaching the women, grabbing their hair, and returning to shore in an instant.
“My God, he knows qinggong!”
“Was that the legendary water-walking?”
The onlookers were floored.
The Chinese Medicine team stared in disbelief.
Fu Yanjie shouted, “Director, you’re the man!”
Old Xiang marvelled, “Director’s a god among men!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, thinking, “Ye Qiu’s skills seem stronger than before, this isn’t good for me.”
Ye Qiu tossed the women onto the ground, “You agree to my three conditions?”
They stayed silent.
“Are you deaf? I’ll ask again, do you agree? If not, back in the river you go…”
Terrified at the thought, they pleaded.
“No, please, we agree!”
“We’ll compensate, we’ll care for his parents.”
Ye Qiu eyed them, “Since you’ve agreed, you’d better follow through.”
“Don’t think you can back out later, I’d advise you to drop that idea now.”
“Have you heard of Dragon Gate?” Ye Qiu asked suddenly.
The women nodded, Dragon Gate was a big deal, of course they knew.
“I’m Ye Qiu, from Dragon Gate, if you break your word, I’ll hunt you down to the ends of the earth, and you won’t live to regret it.”
As he spoke, Ye Qiu spun around, scanning the crowd.
Just then, he’d felt a flash of killing intent!
