40: Chapter 40: No matter how skilled one is in kung fu, they still fear the kitchen knife!
Fang Bai, in his past life, had entered the path of dicine and knew that “Illusion Grass” was an extrely potent hallucinogenic substance.
When dried and ground into powder, even a small dose could make a person dazed and listless, as if they had lost their soul and were at the rcy of others.
It was unexpected that in this world, there existed such a drug that could bewitch the minds and confuse the hearts of people.
From the actions and deanor of the three burly n, Fang Bai could imagine the fate that would befall the lady in the red dress once she was taken into the Tiangong Grand Hotel.
“What are you looking at, you little brat?
Get lost!”
The last of the burly n, seeing Fang Bai staring non-stop at the lady in the red dress, suddenly glared at him nacingly and raised his hand to shove him.
Fang Bai didn’t like to ddle in other people’s business or to start trouble on his own, but he couldn’t tolerate others provoking him.
The burly man’s words, “you little brat,” ignited his anger.
Fang Bai lashed out in anger.
Crack!
With a light snap, the arm of the man trying to shove Fang Bai broke, and then the man himself flew backward, landing stiffly on the ground two yards away, imdiately losing consciousness.
The two hulking n carrying the lady in the red dress heard the commotion behind them, turned their heads in unison, and saw only a fist rapidly enlarging before their eyes.
Then their consciousness was overwheld by an imnse pain and darkness.
The two hulking n fell backward to the ground, and the body of the lady in the red dress, lacking support, also slumped to one side.
Fang Bai promptly reached out, steadying the soft and boneless body of the lady in the red dress.
Then with his right hand’s index finger, he pressed firmly on her head, chest, and abdon in several spots.
Wow—
The lady in the red dress felt her stomach churn violently all of a sudden and imdiately bent over, beginning to vomit.
“Feeling better now?”
Fang Bai supported the lady in the red dress, waiting until she had almost finished vomiting before he asked.
After throwing up, the flush faded from her face, her gaze was no longer blurred, she recovered so strength and was noticeably more lucid.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, she still felt a headache.
Hearing Fang Bai’s inquiry, the lady in the red dress nodded subconsciously, then stood up.
Seeing the three fallen hulking n on the ground, the lady in the red dress paused, then she understood that it was Fang Bai who saved her.
She wanted to say a few words of thanks, but Fang Bai interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
Fang Bai glanced toward the entrance of the Tiangong Grand Hotel and said, “If you don’t want to be captured and taken back to the hotel, you should leave quickly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two more burly n charged out of the hotel, heading toward them with a furious montum.
The lady in the red dress cast a quick glance at Fang Bai, then clenched her teeth and ran to her red Ferrari parked nearby, opened the door, and dove in.
Before the two burly n could catch up, the sports car started up, roaring away into the distance.
The two burly n failed to catch up with the lady in the red dress, stomping their feet in anger and sporting frustrated expressions.
When they turned back, they found only their three companions lying unconscious on the ground, but Fang Bai was nowhere to be seen.
“It’s Fang Bai again!
Dad, this bastard has beaten twice, and now he’s ruined your plans.
Can you tolerate it?”
In the “Fortune Hall” on the sixth floor of the Tiangong Grand Hotel, a young man with a rather handso appearance stood in front of a glass window, looking out at the departing silhouette of Fang Bai with a flickering gaze and a grim expression.
“No, I cannot!”
Standing beside the handso young man was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a rosy complexion, who at this mont was also looking at Fang Bai’s retreating figure, his face flush with anger.
“I must find soone to teach him a harsh lesson!
Damn it!
A little brat who’s still in school, daring to ss with us, the Liu Family father and son, has turned the world upside down!”
Letting go of his son being beaten for the mont, what was most infuriating was that if it weren’t for that “Fang Bai” ddling, allowing Xia Chenyu to slip away, that woman with enchanting charm and a hot figure would have beco his plaything under him tonight.
But now, the duck that was about to be cooked had flown away; the joyful pleasures had slipped through his fingers.
How could the middle-aged man not be enraged?
The young man said, “But Dad, Fang Bai knows martial arts and won’t be easy to deal with.
You saw it just now; those bodyguards you brought were knocked down by him in just a few kicks.”
“No matter how high one’s kung fu is, they still fear the kitchen knife!
No matter how good one’s skills are, they will fall to a bullet!”
The middle-aged man sneered: “In today’s world, firearms reign supre; cold weapons and martial arts are worthless!”
The young man exclaid, “Dad, you’re not really planning to use guns against Fang Bai, are you?”
The middle-aged man huffed, saying, “Is that necessary?
Besides, we, the Liu Family, are now legitimate businessn, law-abiding citizens.
How could we knowingly break the law?”
He turned around, gestured to a bodyguard behind him, then extended his index and middle fingers, mimicking the action of holding a cigarette.
The bodyguard understood, imdiately lit a cigar, and respectfully handed it to him.
“Yichen, later give Black Panther a copy of Fang Bai’s detailed information.”
The middle-aged man took a deep draw on his cigar and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, addressing the bodyguard who had lit his cigar: “Black Panther, find a few brothers with good skills, and when ti allows, go and break the arms and legs of that kid ntioned in the information.”
“Understood, boss.”
The bodyguard known as “Black Panther” bowed to take the order, his small but sharp eyes gleaming cruelly and excitedly.
“The won I, Liu Yuanlong, desire have never escaped my grasp!
Xia Chenyu, consider yourself lucky this ti, but next ti you won’t be able to escape from the palm of my hand!”
The middle-aged man’s gaze turned back to the window, looking out into the distance where lights twinkled dimly.
He seed to see the stunning face, the proud figure, and the myriad charms of the woman in a red dress, a parched and greedy smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
……
On an early sumr night, with a cool breeze blowing, couples were walking hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, along the artificial riverbank in Peace Park.
Willows swayed gently by the river, each tree accompanied by a bench.
Tired couples would sit down to rest, cuddling and whispering sweet nothings to each other.
On the north side of the artificial lake, separated by an iron chain fence and a strip of flowers, lay the straight and broad Peace Avenue.
At this mont, with the streetlights just coming on, the lighting made Peace Avenue as bright as day, with a continuous stream of traffic.
Suddenly, a red Ferrari sports car lost control for so reason, broke through the flowing traffic, ran over the roadside flowerbed, broke through the iron fence by the artificial river, and plunged into the water.
The artificial river was two ters deep, enough to subrge a sports car.
If the person inside could not escape in ti, it would be extrely dangerous.
This sudden ergency caused many pedestrians by the riverbank to cry out in shock and scream, quickly attracting dozens of people to the scene.
After plunging into the river, the sports car began to sink visibly fast, and in a blink of an eye, the front half of the car had been swallowed by the river.
Using the bright moonlight and the streetlights, so people on the riverbank saw soone desperately pounding on the car windows inside the subrged car.
