As soon as the people around saw Ah Ming's group pull out their daggers, they all got scared and backed away.
In Huang Town, there were hardly a few who didn't know of Ah Ming. Just like those hoodlums said earlier, in Huang Town, there were scarcely any who dared to ss with Ah Ming.
Ah Ming was like a desperado, with many brothers under him. Once, during a brawl, Ah Ming gathered a group and ended up being arrested by the police.
After Ah Ming got out of the detention center, he stabbed that cop directly.
Ah Ming threatened the cop, saying if he dared to ss with him again, he would outright kill the cop's entire family.
Because of Ah Ming's ferocity, the cop didn't dare to pursue the matter of being stabbed, and from then on, in Huang Town, no one dared to provoke Ah Ming. The place was far from the city, with lax control, so until now, Ah Ming had virtually beco a scourge of Huang Town.
"Now, these out-of-towners are going to suffer, Ah Ming is not soone you can afford to provoke."
"These guys are so unlucky, how did they run into Ah Ming"...
The bystanders whispered among themselves.
The townspeople of Huang Town might have feared Ah Ming, but Ding Fan didn't take him seriously at all. In Ding Fan's eyes, Ah Ming was nothing but an ant. Still, he was of the sa opinion—if the other party didn't co looking for trouble, Ding Fan couldn't be bothered to squash it.
"F***, don't say I didn't give you a chance, let your wife accompany for a month and we'll call it even for today's incident. Otherwise"... Ah Ming said, while licking the blade of his dagger with his tongue, "Otherwise, I will let you bleed today."
"You're dead at, my dad Ding Fan will surely beat you black and blue," Song Tao, standing by, said to Ah Ming while making faces at him.
At that mont, Ding Fan completely ignored Ah Ming and his group, simply touching Song Tao's little head. "Go protect your mom, I'll handle these scumbags."
"Ding Fan Dad, you must beat these guys black and blue! They bullied my mom..." Song Tao said earnestly.
Ding Fan nodded with a smile on his face, "Alright, I'll do as you say."
"F***! Are you treating like I don't exist?" Ah Ming was pissed off. Here he was, with a dagger out, and you should be at least a little afraid, right?
Facing his dagger and still being able to chat so casually on the side—this annoyed Ah Ming considerably.
"Stab this dumbass for , make him realize what happens to those who offend , Ah Ming!"
"Chop!"
"Chop!"
The few n behind Ah Ming, hearing his command, charged at Ding Fan with their daggers in hand.
Ding Fan didn't want to waste ti. As the first person rushed towards him, Ding Fan directly grabbed his wrist.
The hoodlum was caught off guard, but then Ding Fan just swung him around by the wrist.
The man was like a at whip, being swung by Ding Fan and lashing towards the other hoodlums behind him.
These hoodlums, accustod to brawling, had never seen such a scene before. Using a person as a whip was shockingly excessive.
Swinging the at whip, Ding Fan lashed out wildly, and in a short ti, everyone but Ah Ming, who hadn't moved, was downed by Ding Fan.
Ah Ming glanced at his subordinates lying on the ground.
They were writhing and groaning on the ground, showing that they wouldn't be getting up any ti soon.
"Do you want to try as well?" At that mont, Ding Fan casually threw the human whip to the side, looking at Ah Ming with indifferent words.
Ah Ming swallowed hard.
In Huang Town, Ah Ming was tough, few dared to provoke him, but it also depended on who he was showing off against.
The townspeople were generally honest and wanted to live their lives peacefully without stirring up trouble. There wasn't anyone in the entire Huang Town as fierce as Ding Fan. If there were, Ah Ming would have stopped showing off long ago.
However, although Ah Ming was very reluctant to move and confront Ding Fan, he had to toughen up and go.
If Ah Ming didn't step up and simply chickened out, then he might as well stop trying to blend in this place in the future.
"F***, kid, today I'll let you understand why the flower is so red..." Ah Ming spoke with fake bravado, but inside he was exceedingly afraid.
He was just putting on an act in front of his subordinates and the civilians.
Ah Ming charged over, and Ding Fan, without even paying attention, swung his hand.
Slap... the slap was solid. Ah Ming was smacked so hard that he spun in place.
"You…" Ah Ming tried to say sothing, but when he opened his mouth, all his teeth fell out.
Slap... another backhand slap from Ding Fan, and Ah Ming was sent tumbling to the ground...
Now looking at Ah Ming lying on the ground, spitting white foam with his legs twitching, it seed his consciousness was starting to blur.
"That's for bullying my mom, my dad Ding Fan will definitely not let you off! Bad guys!" Song Tao said, pointing at the hoodlums on the ground.
Generally, the townsfolk, who were bullied by these hoodlums yet dared not speak out, felt a wave of relief now.
"Ah Ming and his gang bullied people around here all the ti, now they've t their match acting tough..."
"That's good, let them taste their own dicine. Maybe next ti they bully soone, they'll think twice..."
...
"Ding Fan's dad is so handso! Ding Fan's dad is so powerful…" Song Tao kept repeating, calling him Ding Fan's dad.
At this mont, Li Shuying's cheeks were burning with embarrassnt.
Those who knew, were aware that Song Tao had recognized Ding Fan as his godfather. Those who didn't know might even think the three of them were a family.
Li Shuying was shy, and she quickly squeezed out of the crowd with Ding Fan and Song Tao.
"Ding Fan's dad, you fought so well just now, can you teach , so I can protect mom when Ding Fan's dad isn't around?" As they walked together, Song Tao was still not quiet, chattering on the side.
Ding Fan smiled. "Sure, but we'll have to wait until we get back."
Song Tao blinked his eyes and then seed to think of sothing. "Ding Fan's dad, we're going to my great-aunt's house, you should co with us, and you can teach kung fu while you're there…"
"Don't be ridiculous, Song Tao, your Ding Fan's dad has other things to do. He doesn't have that much ti to fool around," Li Shuying said.
Li Shuying was not soone unaware of the ways of the world. She did not think that Ding Fan had co here just for a leisurely visit. She already owed Ding Fan too much and did not want to waste more of his ti.
At this mont, Ding Fan was not thinking about anything else. What he was considering was that Huang Town wasn't big, and Li Shuying's relatives lived in this very town. If he left and Ah Ming ca back to trouble Li Shuying, that would be troubleso since Ah Ming had so tricks up his sleeve. In this area, even the police didn't dare to interfere.
"Okay then, I don't have anything else going on, so I'll go with you," Ding Fan said indifferently.
Li Shuying was taken aback, she had not expected Ding Fan would really stay.
"Oh... great, Ding Fan's dad is going to be with us, let's all go to my great-aunt's house together."... Song Tao was jumping up and down with joy.
"This kid…" Li Shuying patted Song Tao's little head.
In fact, Li Shuying also hoped Ding Fan would co along. For a woman with a small boy, there were many inconveniences. Having a man co along, especially soone as capable as Ding Fan, was a lot of help.
Soon, the three of them walked towards the road together.
Li Shuying rembered the way, so Ding Fan and Song Tao just followed behind her. After about fifteen minutes, Li Shuying led them to the front of a small courtyard.
It was a shantytown that hadn't been renovated yet, consisting of red-bricked tile houses. Across from the house was a small plot of land, which looked to be a warm and cozy farmhouse.
"This is the place." When Li Shuying arrived, her face also lit up with a smile.
Since getting married, Li Shuying's life had been full of hardships. Now able to see her relatives again, her heart inevitably filled with excitent.
Li Shuying imdiately began knocking on the iron gate.
Bang bang bang…
But to Li Shuying's surprise, despite her continuous knocking for a long ti, no one ca out of the courtyard.
Using his Divine Sense, Ding Fan checked the inside of the courtyard and found no signs of anyone there.
"It seems there's no one at ho; maybe you should call them," Ding Fan suggested.
Li Shuying shook her head slightly. "I only know their landline, and if no one's at ho, it won't do any good to call."
Ding Fan nodded.
Just as the three of them were wondering what to do next, a passerby, a middle-aged woman, ca up to them. She looked Ding Fan and Li Shuying up and down before speaking.
"Do you… do you know the people who live here?" the woman asked after sizing up Ding Fan and Li Shuying.
Seeing soone to talk to, Li Shuying very politely replied, "This is my distant aunt's house. I ca to visit family, but it happens that no one is ho."
The middle-aged woman nodded after listening to Li Shuying. "It seems you don't know then, this family has recently encountered so troubles. Your cousin was beaten up and is now in the hospital. I suppose everyone must be there by now."
Hospitalized?
Li Shuying's eyebrows knitted tightly. "May I ask, do you know their phone number?"
"I do know it; just wait a second." The middle-aged woman took out her phone, searched for a while, and then gave the number to Li Shuying.
Li Shuying called right away. After a brief conversation, she found out that the other party was currently at the town's central hospital.
Ding Fan and Li Shuying imdiately set off for the central hospital.
As Huang Town was not large, the central hospital was easy to locate. Added to that, Li Shuying had their phone number, so they quickly found the ward.
"You must leave the hospital now..."
"Doctor, my son's leg has not yet healed, and there's still internal bleeding. What are we supposed to do about his injuries if we leave now?"
...
Once they entered the ward, Ding Fan saw an old woman with hair half black and half White Ginseng tangled with the doctor.
This old lady was Li Shuying's distant aunt.
"Doctor, look at the state of my son; it's impossible for us to leave the hospital right now…" Li Shuying's aunt pleaded with the doctor.
"Don't make it difficult for ; the one who your son has offended, we simply cannot afford to provoke. They've given us a clear warning—if you keep staying here, the other party has threatened to take it out on us…" the doctor sighed and explained.
