Chapter 348: Chapter 348 We Are Childhood Sweethearts
"Isn’t it just the Cheng Family?"
Wang Hao said with disdain.
"In Zao City, I’ve only ever heard of the Wen Family, Wu Family, and the Yi Family. When exactly did this Cheng Family pop up? I’ve never even heard of them."
"You make yourselves sound pretty formidable. Well, now I really want to see just how formidable you are!"
Scaring Wang Hao was simply not going to happen.
Wang Hao never deliberately provoked anyone, but if someone who didn’t know any better insisted on bothering him, he wouldn’t give them face, not even if they were the Emperor himself.
"You!"
Cheng Yingjie was left speechless by Wang Hao’s words.
Ever since Cheng Yin returned, nobody had dared to talk to him so arrogantly.
Even those who had previously dominated the Cheng Family were now brought to heel by them.
Yet here was Wang Hao, blatantly showing contempt for the Cheng Family right in front of Cheng Yingjie, despite knowing Cheng Yin was currently in Zao City. This was tantamount to challenging the Cheng Family’s authority.
Wen Xiaowei’s complexion changed instantly. Even their Wen Family wouldn’t dare say such words in the face of the Cheng Family, and here was Wang Hao—he was simply courting death.
"Good, not bad. So, are you challenging the Cheng Family?"
Cheng Yingjie sneered coldly, arrogantly looking at Wang Hao as if he were a defeated foe.
"I see you Cheng Family folks really have no shame!"
Wang Hao made another shocking statement.
"What did you say? Have the guts to say that again to me?"
Cheng Yingjie shouted furiously.
"Wen Xiaowei is already my woman, yet you, Cheng Yingjie, still won’t stop pestering her. I haven’t bothered seeking you out for trouble, and here you are, shamelessly coming to my doorstep. If that’s not shameless, what is?"
"Just because you’re from the Cheng Family, does that mean you can snatch someone else’s woman at will?"
Wang Hao said seriously.
"Yes, I think Wang Hao is right. Now Wang Hao is my publicly recognized boyfriend, and by being here, you’re interfering with our relationship. What gives you the right to use me to threaten Wang Hao?"
Wen Xiaowei also didn’t want the conflict between Wang Hao and the Cheng Family to escalate and quickly spoke up for Wang Hao.
After all, she was still the young lady of the Wen Family. No matter how formidable the Cheng Family was, they’d need to weigh their options before dealing with the Wen Family.
"On what grounds? Because I met you first, we are childhood sweethearts!"
Cheng Yingjie started to become unreasonable.
"Who decided that just because you met first, you have to be together?"
Wang Hao said with a puzzled face.
"Then you also met your brothers and sisters at birth, so are you going to marry your sisters as your wives?"
"That’s clearly twisting the facts!"
Cheng Yingjie said with a dark expression.
"I’m warning you for the last time now, stay far away from Wen Xiaowei, or I might still be kind enough to spare your life."
"What a joke. Why should I leave Wen Xiaowei? She’s now my girlfriend. Just because you like her, I should leave?"
Wang Hao curled his lip in disdain.
"That’s right, because I, Cheng Yingjie, like her, I must get her. You won’t be able to fight against our Cheng Family. I’d advise you to just obediently listen and leave."
Cheng Yingjie even cast a smug glance at Wen Xiaowei as he spoke.
"Even Zao City will belong to our Cheng Family in the future. If the Wen Family wants to survive, you’ll need to listen to the Cheng Family. Otherwise, relying on our family’s connections with the military, it’ll just take minutes to flatten the Wen Family!"
Upon hearing Cheng Yingjie speak of using the military’s power against the Wen Family, Wen Xiaowei’s face lost all color in an instant.
It wasn’t just in Zao City; no family power in the entire country could contend with the military.
If the Cheng Family really used military power against the Wen Family, the Wen Family would have only a dead end.
Wen Xiaowei knew that Cheng Yingjie was threatening her.
Wang Hao also frowned secretly, for he was certainly aware of the military’s power, having been trained as part of the nation’s professional forces, and knew it wasn’t something an individual or a private group could easily confront.
Seeing Wen Xiaowei and Wang Hao fall silent, especially with Wen Xiaowei’s complexion growing uglier, Cheng Yingjie immediately revealed a victorious smile.
"Wang Hao, I can tell you’re a smart man, better leave Wen Xiaowei early if you know what’s good for you, and you might save your own life."
At this moment, Cheng Yingjie’s sneaky eyes were measuring Wen Xiaowei up and down, saying with a sleazy grin on his face.
"Once I’m bored with her, who knows, I might be in a good mood one day and let you have her for a few days."
These words immediately sent Wen Xiaowei into a towering rage.
What did this bastard Cheng Yingjie take her for? Even though she knew such a thing would never happen, Wen Xiaowei was still furious. After all, she was the young mistress of the Wen Family; how could Cheng Yingjie humiliate her like this?
Wang Hao, however, chuckled coldly, slowly moving closer to Cheng Yingjie.
Wen Xiaowei was surprised by Wang Hao’s action. What was he trying to do? Could it be that he actually agreed with Cheng Yingjie’s unreasonable demand?
If that were the case, then Wen Xiaowei could only blame herself for being blind, for misjudging Wang Hao, but she couldn’t bring herself to believe that Wang Hao would do such a thing.
"It’s just a woman, after all, play with her until she’s no longer fun, why sacrifice your life for her?"
Cheng Yingjie, seeing Wang Hao laugh, thought he had come to his senses. When Wang Hao walked up to him, Cheng Yingjie even reached out and patted Wang Hao on the shoulder.
But as soon as Cheng Yingjie’s hand touched Wang Hao’s shoulder, Wang Hao’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly grabbed Cheng Yingjie’s hand, twisting it forcefully.
"Crack crack crack!"
Following the sound of three crisp bone-snapping sounds, Cheng Yingjie’s entire arm was dislocated.
"Ahh—"
Cheng Yingjie’s scream rang out, startling Wen Xiaowei, because the cry was truly agonizing.
"Wang Hao, you bastard, I won’t let you get away with this!"
Staring at his immobile arm, Cheng Yingjie finally realized what had happened and shouted through clenched teeth.
"You should be begging me for mercy right now; I still have to consider whether I should let you off!"
Wang Hao said, enunciating every word.
"You... what on earth do you want?"
Cheng Yingjie’s face suddenly changed, as he clearly saw Wang Hao grab his other hand.
When Wang Hao grabbed Cheng Yingjie’s other arm, he twisted it with the same technique, dislocating all the joints, followed once again by Cheng Yingjie’s screams.
The twin screams of agony immediately drew the attention of the others in the martial arts dojo, who rushed to see what had happened.
When they saw Cheng Yingjie’s disfigured arms, a few timid women immediately screamed in fear, covering their eyes, unable to look directly.
However, they all recognized Cheng Yingjie and Wen Xiaowei, and were eager to know what had happened, so they didn’t leave out of fear.
"What are you waiting for, call an ambulance right now!"
Cheng Yingjie, in extreme pain, shouted to the people outside.
"I’d like to see who dares to call today, whoever does is going against me, Wang Hao. After you leave this door, you’d better not run into me, or you’ll get to feel the same pain as Cheng Yingjie!"
Although some people hurriedly pulled out their phones to call for an ambulance when Cheng Yingjie shouted, they were stopped by Wang Hao’s threat. Holding their phones, they stood there, hesitant, and after a long moment of indecision, they silently put their phones away. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Most of the people there had heard about the underground boxing matches. Although they hadn’t witnessed them firsthand, through the embellishments of others, the original story had likely been altered. What these people were hearing now was a new version.
That version was of Wang Hao, not only as the Fist God who had defeated professional Muay Thai boxers but also as a ruthless demon king.
The demon king was right in front of them, and they certainly didn’t want to cause themselves trouble.
