Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Calling for Help
"Wang Hao, save me!"
As soon as Chen Hongying saw Wang Hao, she cried out for help as if he were her lifeline.
"Wang Hao?"
Qin Xi followed Chen Hongying’s gaze and indeed, there Wang Hao stood before him. His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he let out a cold sneer.
"Perfect timing, you’re really saving me some trouble! Men, take both of these people to my office!"
The two security guards outside approached Wang Hao with fierce expressions on their faces.
But just as they were about to lay hands on him, they felt a tightness in their abdomens, and their bodies involuntarily flew outward, slamming into the wall.
At that moment, the hotel’s walls bore several cracks from their impact, while the men lay unconscious on the floor.
Qin Xi was momentarily stunned by the scene, not expecting Wang Hao to be so formidable.
"Hurry up and call for backup, bring me all the security guards here, I refuse to believe we can’t beat this bastard to death!"
Qin Xi roared at the staff in the lobby.
The staff in the lobby, who had already been scared witless, didn’t wait for Qin Xi to finish speaking before they ran off in haste.
"Wang Hao, you think you can fight? Well then, today I’ll let you get your fill of it. Just so you know, my good brothers are all skilled fighters. Just wait for your death!" freёwebnovel.com
Qin Xi’s words grew more and more arrogant. freewebnøvel.com
"Is that so? I think you won’t live to see that spectacle. By the time they get here, you’ll already be pushing up daisies!"
Wang Hao spoke calmly and suddenly lunged forward to Qin Xi, grabbing his hand and twisting it forcefully.
A "crack" was heard, and Qin Xi’s arm visibly deformed.
"Ah—"
Qin Xi let out a sudden howl, then collapsed to the ground, screaming miserably.
"Wang Hao, you’re deliberately hurting people. I’ll press charges against you, even for murder!"
"Murder? That’s a great idea. Why didn’t you say so earlier!"
Wang Hao picked up Qin Xi and looked at him with ill intent.
"Since you’re going to accuse me of murder anyway, it would be a shame not to follow through, wouldn’t it?"
Qin Xi’s face turned pale at those words.
"What... what on earth are you going to do? You can’t kill me... help!"
Qin Xi never expected that Wang Hao would actually consider killing him.
And he knew all too well that for Wang Hao, killing him would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
"Wang Hao, murder is a crime that comes with a prison sentence, you can’t kill me!"
"Didn’t you just say to turn off all the cameras here?"
"You..."
Indeed, Qin Xi had all the cameras turned off for his own selfish purposes, intending to destroy his own criminal record, never imagining that it would present Wang Hao with a perfect opportunity.
"Who’s going to know it was me?"
Wang Hao asked with a big laugh.
"No, no, I didn’t see anything!"
The guest who had been about to check out didn’t even take the time to claim his money but grabbed his documents and ran out as fast as a startled rabbit.
The beautiful receptionist at the front desk was also terrified, cowering under the desk and repeatedly saying,
"I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything at all. Please don’t kill me!"
Seeing the reactions of these two, Qin Xi’s face went white as a sheet.
Murder was a grave crime, but it required witnesses and evidence. Now that all the evidence was gone, if Wang Hao really did kill him, he might well evade legal punishment.
"Brother Hao, you’re like a grandfather to me. Please, I’m begging you, don’t kill me!"
Qin Xi’s legs gave out, and he pleaded like a grandson.
"Weren’t you acting tough just a moment ago?"
Wang Hao couldn’t help but sneer.
"I’m not tough anymore, not tough at all. In Zao City, you, Brother Hao, are the toughest. How could I possibly be tough in front of you? It’s all a misunderstanding, please, can you put me down now?"
Qin Xi begged pitifully, not caring about his dignity as long as his life was spared.
"Put you down? Sure, that can be arranged!"
Wang Hao lifted Qin Xi high and then slammed him to the ground with a "thud."
Qin Xi crashed heavily to the ground, his mind suddenly blanking out, feeling like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
It took him a long while to recover, and blood kept spurting from his mouth.
Just as Qin Xi had come to his senses, staff members with a large group of security guards rushed over.
Following the group of security guards was a man dressed in a business suit and leather shoes, looking very respectable and likely the owner of this place.
Seeing these people arrive, Qin Xi scrambled to hide behind the hotel owner.
"Hong, quickly kill this bastard, don’t worry, if he’s killed I’ll help you with the lawsuit. I definitely won’t let you lose!"
Now with some backup, Qin Xi suddenly became much bolder, pointing at Wang Hao, speaking with more confidence than before.
He just couldn’t believe that with so many people on his side, many of whom were well-trained, they couldn’t beat Wang Hao.
The security guards and thugs all turned uniformly to look at the hotel owner.
"What are you looking at? Get moving, you idiots!"
The hotel owner cursed at his subordinates.
"Call for backup?"
Qin Xi hurriedly asked.
"There’s no need for more people, just kill Wang Hao for me, and you’ll be well rewarded in the future."
A few of the security guards and thugs shot Qin Xi a disdainful look before they suddenly surrounded Wang Hao.
"Kill him, kill him, just kill him for me!"
Qin Xi shouted triumphantly.
"Wang Hao, I’d like to see how arrogant you are now. Still dare to hit me? I’ll make sure you won’t have a spot to be buried in!"
No sooner had Qin Xi finished than he saw all the security and thugs bow neatly to Wang Hao and cry out in unison.
"Brother Wang Hao!"
Chen Hongying had been worried for Wang Hao as she watched these people arrive so aggressively, but when she heard them addressing Wang Hao, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
Qin Xi was utterly bewildered.
"Hong, what..."
"What the hell!"
The hotel owner didn’t wait for Qin Xi to finish speaking before he slapped him across the face, sending Qin Xi crashing to the ground and then kicking him twice for good measure.
Not satisfied with just a few hits, he pointed at the security and the thugs and bellowed.
"Beat him up, beat him to death!"
The security and thugs didn’t hesitate and swarmed over Qin Xi, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Hong... Ah..."
Qin Xi was instantly surrounded and battered by several people; as soon as he opened his mouth, someone’s fists or feet would connect with his body.
In no time at all, Qin Xi was badly beaten, several teeth knocked out, so he covered his mouth and dared not to utter another word.
"Brother Wang Hao, are you alright? Come, have a cigarette to cool off!"
The hotel owner came up to Wang Hao as if he had completely changed his demeanor, nodding and bowing as he offered a cigarette to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao also clearly saw that the hotel owner’s hands were trembling as he lit the cigarette, as if he were very frightened of Wang Hao.
Seeing the hotel owner so frightened, Wang Hao didn’t feel it right to say much. He took the cigarette, lit it up, and looked again carefully at the hotel owner.
Looking at his face, Wang Hao just couldn’t remember where he had seen this man before.
"Who are you?"
Wang Hao asked, puzzled.
"I’m just a nobody," the hotel owner hastened to explain, "It’s very normal for you, Brother Wang Hao, not to recognize me. But I saw with my own eyes how you defeated Billy in the boxing match downstairs; I’ve admired you for a long time!"
Wang Hao’s victory over Billy had been a moment of vindication for the countrymen and Chinese martial arts, making him an overnight sensation.
At the time, the hotel owner was one of the backers behind a boxer and had stood right by the cage, watching clearly as Wang Hao took Billy down with one move.
That’s why he recognized Wang Hao the moment he laid eyes on him.
"Oh, is that so!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao nodded slightly and then indifferently pointed to Qin Xi on the side and asked,
"This guy was saying earlier that you two were best friends?"
