Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: The Cousin Who Opened a Martial Arts School

"Ying Ying, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

After easily driving away five thieves, the young man hurried over to Zhou Yingying and asked with a tense expression.

"Cousin Cheng, why is it you? How come you are here?"

Zhou Yingying looked at the young man and asked with a face full of surprise.

"Oh, I... I was taking the students from the martial arts school out for practice, and just thought this was a nice area to train around. When I heard gunshots, I came over to check, never expecting to bump into you."

The young man hurriedly explained, but his speech was halting and his gaze extremely unnatural.

However, upon seeing Wang Hao, Cousin Cheng frowned, his eyes even carrying a hint of disgust, and he didn’t show any concern for his wounds.

When Cousin Cheng mentioned the gunshots, Zhou Yingying suddenly snapped back to reality and quickly examined Wang Hao’s injury.

Unbuttoning Wang Hao’s shirt, she found that his shoulder was a bloody mess, and tears involuntarily began to stream down her face.

"Why are you so foolish, knowing they had guns and still coming out to save me!"

Zhou Yingying said, feeling somewhat guilty.

"I couldn’t just stand by and watch you be bullied! Don’t worry, it didn’t hit the bone, I won’t die!"

Wang Hao forced a smile despite the pain.

Even though it hadn’t hit the bone, losing so much blood was still very painful.

Hearing Wang Hao say this, Zhou Yingying’s tears flowed even more. She had never imagined that Wang Hao would risk his life to save her and, furthermore, he was the first man to take a bullet for her!

Cousin Cheng saw Zhou Yingying crying her eyes out for another man and was full of jealousy, feeling very unhappy.

He also knew Zhou Yingying was in danger and had risked his life to rescue her, yet she didn’t shed a tear for him!

At the moment, Zhou Yingying was only concerned about Wang Hao’s injuries and didn’t notice the change in Cousin Cheng’s expression.

But Wang Hao had noticed Cousin Cheng’s change in demeanor. Despite having seized the gun, why did he let those five men escape? Logically, it would have been correct to capture them and hand them over to the police.

Moreover, with the skills of those five men and the guns in their hands, how could Cousin Cheng handle them so easily?

Furthermore, the way Cousin Cheng looked at Wang Hao seemed to carry a murderous intent, while his eyes were full of tenderness when looking at Zhou Yingying. Clearly, he had special feelings for Zhou Yingying.

But this didn’t make sense. If Wang Hao had heroically saved his beloved, he should feel grateful, so why did he only show anger? Where was this hostility coming from?

"Ying Ying, I came here by car, why don’t I take this brother to the hospital to get checked out!"

Cousin Cheng suggested.

Zhou Yingying thought that made sense since Wang Hao’s wounds couldn’t be neglected, and she immediately wiped away her tears and agreed.

So, she helped Wang Hao get into Cousin Cheng’s car parked at the edge of the woods.

On the way to the hospital, Wang Hao noticed that Cousin Cheng would occasionally glance at the rearview mirror with eyes full of hostility.

At the hospital, the doctor treated Wang Hao’s wound and said it was nothing serious. He just needed to keep it dry, take antibiotics on schedule, and that would be enough.

The doctor was also puzzled by Wang Hao’s wound, which was clearly a gunshot aimed at his shoulder.

Not only were Wang Hao’s meridians undamaged, but the bullet had not remained in his body, almost as if he hadn’t suffered a gunshot wound at all, leaving the doctor utterly baffled.

Wang Hao knew in his heart that it must have been the dragon tattoo inside his body protecting his meridians.

He didn’t tell anyone because even if he did, no one would believe it.

So, Wang Hao did not go into detail and just feigned ignorance, claiming he was in too much pain to know what had happened.

"Are you sure there’s no need for hospital observation?" freewebnøvel.com

After they exited the hospital, Zhou Yingying still felt worried and grabbed Wang Hao’s arm to ask.

"If the doctor said it’s fine, then it must be fine. Don’t worry!"

Wang Hao affectionately patted Zhou Yingying’s hand and at the same time, sneakily glanced at Cousin Cheng to gauge his reaction.

The result was exactly as he had predicted. Cousin Cheng’s face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth and glared at Wang Hao.

Since he liked being jealous so much, Wang Hao decided to play along and put on a full act. So, he held Zhou Yingying’s hand tightly and said with a worried expression.

"You should be careful yourself from now on. There are many bad people out there, and I would be heartbroken if you got hurt taking risks alone!"

Such cheesy words made Wang Hao feel sick to his own stomach.

But when Zhou Yingying heard them, she just blinked, then her face turned red, and she nodded quietly.

Cousin Cheng, standing beside them, was so angry he was about to explode. He rushed over, grabbed Wang Hao’s hand, and forced a smile.

"Brother Wang Hao, right? My name’s Cheng Lei, and I run a martial arts school in Zao City. I’m also Yingying’s cousin. Don’t worry, I’ll escort you two home and make sure no one dares to bully you!"

Wang Hao felt the anger and the strength in Cheng Lei’s grip, realizing that he was indeed a martial artist, and not a bad one at that.

"Great, let’s all escort Wang Hao back together!"

A smile immediately appeared on Zhou Yingying’s face, and now it seemed that any mention of Wang Hao made her very happy.

"Yingying, I can escort Brother Wang Hao back home. You should head back to the office first! Losing your gun is no small matter; surely, Aunt Dong needs to be informed."

Cheng Lei persuaded.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingying felt that her cousin made a lot of sense, so she didn’t insist on staying.

As soon as Zhou Yingying left, Cheng Lei immediately changed his face. There was hardly any conversation with Wang Hao on the way, until the car was well out of town.

"Wang Hao, I still advise you to keep your distance from Yingying."

As soon as Cheng Lei spoke, his words were laced with hostility.

"Then I’ll also give Cousin Cheng a piece of advice. You’d better make sure you play your part well. If Yingying finds out the truth, I really don’t know what she will think of you," Wang Hao retorted.

At Wang Hao’s words, Cheng Lei’s body shook, and he slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop.

"What did you say? I don’t understand what you mean."

Cheng Lei was clearly flustered, but still tried to feign confusion.

"I ask you, when you go up the mountain to train, where are your students?"

"They..."

Upon hearing Wang Hao’s question, Cheng Lei’s eyes darted around, seemingly looking for an excuse.

Before Cheng Lei could respond, Wang Hao continued.

"When we left, I looked around. There was only your car nearby. With so many students, you’re telling me you only brought one car?"

"Furthermore, those five men were all skilled. They each had guns at the time, and you managed to take them down so easily, all by yourself?"

"They’ve escaped, yet you didn’t notify your students to evacuate. Aren’t you worried that they might encounter your students and harm them?"

"It seems to me that you had no students on the mountain at all, and your presence there was no coincidence!"

Left speechless by Wang Hao’s accusations, Cheng Lei snorted disdainfully.

"Indeed, I didn’t bring any students, so what?"

"That’s a big problem then."

Wang Hao suddenly became righteously indignant, speaking with a sense of justice.

"If you didn’t bring your students, then why were you on the mountain? And having confiscated the guns, why didn’t you execute them on the spot? You knew they were going to bully Yingying, yet you let them go!"

Wang Hao paused for a moment, staring hard at Cheng Lei before asking.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"
