Chapter 112: Revenge
“I’m knocking, this dumbass grandson who came out of nowhere!”
“He wants to learn from others to hero save the beauty, but doesn’t even look at what kind of sorry state he is!”
“Hahahaha~”
“Hahaha!”
To be honest, Qiao Yuan looked just like a pale-faced scholar from ancient times; not to mention intimidation, even his face flushed red from excessive indignation right now looked exactly like a shy, timid, and easy-to-bully male classmate.
Normally, knowing the Qiao family background, people would naturally cower and act subservient when he got angry.
Over the long term, it hadn’t given him the illusion that he had overwhelming momentum, where just a glance or a shudder of his whole body could intimidate others.
And now, Qiao Yuan who had rashly rushed up without thinking and stood in front of her clearly hadn’t realized yet that these people were not his own ‘subordinates’.
“Do you know who I am, and you dare to speak to me like this!”
“Heh, good guts!”
Following Master Bin around the Gu City black market for who knows how many years, ever since they unified all the surrounding influences, Lin Lao San really hadn’t encountered someone who could act tougher than him in a long time.
This hotheaded young fool who came out of nowhere…
Revealing a sinister smile, Lin Lao San somehow pulled out a knife in his hand, spun it around on his fingertip, then thrust it straight toward his chest.
Drawing a knife without a word?
This is serious!
Qiao Yuan was startled; he had prepared for hand-to-hand combat, thinking that even if he was outnumbered and eventually fell defeated, in Su Ning’s eyes he would at least be seen as a heroic and fearless existence, right?
But he never expected that the ones who looked like street thugs would actually be real people from the underworld who didn’t follow martial ethics!
Equally surprised by Qiao Yuan who suddenly rushed out, Su Ning saw the person in front of her who was still dazed and motionless like an idiot in this moment of crisis, so she grabbed his collar and dragged him behind her.
Dangerously brushing past the knife tip.
“Get out of the way!”
She coldly shouted, not caring about the expression on Qiao Yuan’s face who inexplicably became the ‘man’ behind her after instantly switching positions.
Taking advantage of the opponent still laughing and cursing, completely not taking their weak-on-weak combination seriously.
The three-pepper powder she had prepared early in her hand was thrown straight at their faces.
“What the hell!”
“Ah, my eyes!”
“Third Brother, kill this little woman, it hurts so much!”
This unexpected powder hit several people on the opposite side, especially Lin Lao San who was at the front and received the most care.
The spicy stinging pain in eyes, mouth, and nose made people involuntarily cover their faces, with tears and snot flowing.
Her canvas bag was on the ground, and she was wearing a blouse without even a pocket; where on earth did she pull out these ghost things?!
“Bang—”
Not giving them any chance to breathe, strike while they were down!
Su Ning raised her hand and smashed the small glass bottle filled with the green mutant version sleeping potion of unknown exact effects hard at their feet, then quickly covered her own mouth and nose and held her breath.
“Bang bang bang!”
The few who were still wailing in pain uniformly fell straight heavily to the ground.
Their originally spicy-red faces visibly turned greenish, accompanied by uncontrollable twitching of hands and feet and foaming at the mouth.
Heaven can attest that what she made was real sleeping potion, but why did they not faint and instead look exactly like they were poisoned?
Oh no!
As if just remembering something, Su Ning immediately turned her head and sure enough saw Qiao Yuan collapsed on the ground with the same symptoms: ……
In the haste, cough~ forgot to remind.
“Hey? How do you feel?”
Qiao Yuan who had fallen to the ground only felt an indescribable sour stench coming.
Before he could carefully distinguish it, he felt like he had been hit with a needle on the head, his whole body went limp, and his consciousness numbed.
Even pinching his philtrum until it swelled showed no reaction from him, so Su Ning gave up, stood up enduring the pain, quickly got up and walked out of the alley.
“Comrade? You… are you okay?”
“Trouble helping to call the police, thanks!”
This time was exactly when workers from various factories were getting off work and heading home; just reaching the main road, she saw quite a few people in groups of three or five.
After finding a kind person to help call the police, she refused others’ good intentions to send her to the hospital and calmly waited for the police officers to arrive.
In just over ten minutes, three or four police officers hurriedly arrived on bicycles.
“Comrade, did you have someone call the police? What happened?”
“A few people followed me, dragged me off my bicycle, and took out a knife to threaten me.”
“Specifically how many people? Do you know them? Remember any characteristics, where did the people run to?”
Upon hearing her say someone had a knife, the police officers’ expressions immediately turned serious; the higher-ups were currently conducting a crackdown, and someone actually dared to go against the wind!
Limping as she led them into that alley, she pointed at Qiao Yuan leaning against the wall, “Except for him who came to help as a coworker, the rest are all.”
“?”
Looking shocked at the few people completely unconscious on the ground, the quick-reacting ones stepped forward to check one by one.
“Lin Lao San?”
“Comrade, what happened to them?”
“I threw some powder and smashed a bottle of medicinal water, and that’s how it is.”
They looked at each other, and the leading captain looked at the young female comrade in front of him who was unusually calm despite the situation and asked, “What powder? What medicinal water? Do you have any left on you?”
“Chili pepper, flower pepper, black pepper powder; the medicinal water was specially gotten by my family for my self-defense, all gone.”
Good grief!
The red and green faces of the few on the ground seemed not hard to understand.
After learning the identities of this gang and being uncertain about the effects of the medicinal water they were hit with, including Su Ning, the whole group was taken to the hospital.
After checks revealed that the few were just unconscious with bodily paralysis, like they had been given anesthetic, and would recover in one or two hours without poisoning.
After making a record and conveniently cleaning her wound, Su Ning left the hospital first.
……
Pushing the bicycle to a place with no one around, both bike and person entered the space together, quickly arriving at the spring water to treat the injury.
Once the pain in her ankle completely disappeared, she stopped the pouring action, ignoring the other minor wounds.
Never one to sit idly by, upholding the principle of revenge must be taken, Su Ning let go of her hand, pulled down her trouser legs, with cold light flashing in her eyes.
“Yan Bin…”
Tang Tian’s biggest backer? Controlling all the black markets in Gu City and the surroundings?
While recalling what Qin Jianjun had mentioned before, and the scenes she had seen through Tang Tian.
While unbraiding her somewhat loose braids and re-braiding them into two braids, she turned around, took the bike, and left the space.
Based on what she knew from touching Tang Tian, she was already quite familiar with various places in Gu City now, so finding the Yan family was not difficult.
After riding for over forty minutes, repeatedly recalling and comparing, confirming that the house in front of her was the Yan family, Su Ning got off the bicycle and switched to pushing it, circling around this area several times.
Memorizing all the nearby terrain, she then rest assured circled back.
……
At seven-thirty in the evening, after entering the Beginning of Autumn, the sky started getting dark a bit earlier; dim yellow lights lit up one by one in each house.
The Yan family’s yard was at the end of the street; from outside, it didn’t look like the biggest or best on this street.
Having lived as neighbors for so many years, everyone more or less knew some things about the Yan family.
But due to Yan Bin this ruthless person, no one was willing to risk their whole family’s lives to report it.
Moreover, in the most difficult three years, whether or not they were black-hearted and squeezed dry of their family savings, since no one in his family starved to death, they all had to accept this favor.
Of course, this was also where Yan Bin was clever, using not too much coarse grain to bestow favors, not only getting the money but also securing the favors.
There were those who curried favor and shamelessly acted like dogs, and naturally also various people who couldn’t stand it and secretly hated in their hearts, but even so, what could they do?
Besides secretly cursing a few times in their hearts and hoping heaven would open its eyes someday, they could only silently choose to shut up.
Learn from old Li’s family to report and bring destruction to their own family?
“Heavens, which thousand-knife bastard did this!”
“Fuck your ancestors eighteen generations up and down!”
Hearing this earth-shaking cursing, the tightly closed room doors of each house were gradually opened one after another.
Upon learning that the cursing came from the Yan family yard, various different expressions surged on everyone’s faces.
But the hesitation in their eyes was all the same: big gossip from the Yan family, hard to get a taste!
“What happened? Does anyone know?”
“That old woman Jin Hua, which day does she not howl a few times! Probably finding trouble to grind on the daughter-in-law again.”
“This commotion doesn’t seem like it…”
“I think so too, how about? Go peek a few glances?”
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, finally unable to resist the increasingly burning curiosity for gossip in their hearts, and with experienced steps turned toward the base of the Yan family wall.
