Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Divine Doctor Jiang, Run
"Don’t give me that shit about a ’misunderstanding’!"
The full-bearded man, who radiated a powerful Martial Arts aura, was none other than Manager Wu of Dongguan Bath City. Burning with rage, he fixed his gaze on Meng Lihua. "I remember you. You’re new here! The guy behind you is that bastard who tried to skip the bill, isn’t he? He’s really got a death wish!"
"Manager Wu, he... he’s my guest. Please, don’t make things difficult for him."
Meng Lihua had heard from Niu Zhen about Manager Wu’s fearsome reputation and hastily tried to reason with him.
Mainly, it was because of the men in suits surrounding them—more than thirty of them, all looking absolutely vicious!
Even if Jiang Xinghai was a skilled fighter, there was no way he could avoid getting ganged up on.
Besides, Jiang Xinghai was here to pull her back from this path, and he was the only doctor who could save her daughter!
No matter how she looked at it, Jiang Xinghai had to come out of this unscathed!
"You bitch, trying to protect that bastard?"
Manager Wu’s eyes widened, and he laughed in fury. "Hmph! You can barely save your own skin, and you want to protect someone else? You’re just a whore. You think a bitch like you has any clout? What fucking right do you have to protect anyone!"
"I...!"
A wave of humiliation washed over Meng Lihua, and tears streamed down her face. "As long as you let him go, I’ll do anything!"
"Letting him go is impossible."
Manager Wu’s gaze fell on Jiang Xinghai.
’Just how much nerve does this guy have?’
’He’s staring death in the face and still looks completely unfazed?’
"And as for you," Manager Wu said, turning back to Meng Lihua, "you’re already in this business. What’s this nonsense about ’willing’ or ’not willing’?"
"Am I wrong? Heh! I’ve decided. First, I’m going to break all four of that bastard’s limbs. Then, I’ll throw him in a room and make him watch how you’re going to service all of us brothers tonight! HAHAHA!"
"You’re... you’re despicable!" Meng Lihua was at a complete loss, but then she felt a warm hand rest on her shoulder.
The warm hand belonged to Jiang Xinghai. He smoothly pulled Meng Lihua into his embrace and said softly, "Sister Meng, do you see them for who they truly are now?"
The reason he had held back was to let Meng Lihua see the true nature of these people, to show her that she could never be one of them.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, run!" Meng Lihua suddenly pushed at Jiang Xinghai with both hands.
But Jiang Xinghai only pulled her closer. "Sister Meng, I promise I’ll deal with them in thirty seconds."
"Thirty seconds..." Meng Lihua was stunned speechless.
"Thirty seconds? To deal with us?"
"Manager Wu, did I hear him right?"
"This guy must be dreaming!"
The men in suits immediately started to jeer.
"No, this kid is a martial artist, too. Don’t let your guard down, men." Manager Wu tried to get a read on Jiang Xinghai’s aura, but it was frustratingly indistinct.
’There were only two explanations: either this man’s Martial Arts cultivation was on par with his own, or it was even greater!’
"Thirty seconds. The countdown starts now."
Jiang Xinghai’s voice rang out again. His left arm still holding Meng Lihua, he vanished from where he stood.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
THUD! THUD! THUD!
In an instant, the thirty-odd men in suits crowded nearby fell to the ground, one after another.
The sound of their axes clattering against the floor tiles filled the air.
"So... so fast..."
Manager Wu had only just managed to turn and look for Jiang Xinghai, but all he saw were two afterimages flashing past in an instant.
"Sister Meng, how many seconds has it been?"
Just then, Jiang Xinghai came to a stop in front of Manager Wu, still holding Meng Lihua.
"Twenty-one seconds," Meng Lihua said quietly, her eyes still shut.
Jiang Xinghai glared at Manager Wu. "You kept calling me a ’bastard,’ and you kept calling Sister Meng a ’bitch.’ If I let you live, it would be a disgrace to your ancestors!"
’I’m screwed!’
’I picked a fight with the wrong person!’
Manager Wu could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Jiang Xinghai.
The hair on his body stood on end. Just as he was about to turn and flee, he suddenly felt an immense weight on his shoulder, as if a mountain had been dropped on him, pinning him to the spot.
THWUMP!
Manager Wu was instantly slammed face-first onto the ground.
"Don’t... don’t do it! It’s a misunderstanding..."
Blood spurted from Manager Wu’s nose as he begged endlessly for mercy.
"Now you realize it was a misunderstanding? Too late."
Jiang Xinghai emotionlessly placed his foot on Manager Wu’s neck.
CRACK!
And just like that, Manager Wu was dead.
Then, Jiang Xinghai turned his cold gaze to Niu Zhen nearby. "And you... a man with no sense of responsibility, who abandoned his wife and daughter... you don’t deserve to live either!"
"You... you... you’re in big trouble now! The boss of Dongguan will never let you get away with this!"
Niu Zhen was so terrified his legs turned to jelly. He scrambled unsteadily toward the lobby entrance.
Jiang Xinghai scooped up Meng Lihua and was about to give chase.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, he’s still her father... Don’t chase him." Meng Lihua was already too stunned by the scene to find the right words.
Seeing that Jiang Xinghai intended to kill Niu Zhen as well, her heart softened.
She didn’t want her daughter to lose her father, to be labeled as the girl with no dad.
"Boss Ning! It’s great to see you!"
Niu Zhen’s voice rang out from the lobby entrance. "Someone’s here causing trouble! He kidnapped my wife and even killed Manager Wu!"
