Chapter 22: Even if your father is the god emperor, it won’t save you

“Heh, your men are quite brave, huh? They have the guts to stay behind even after hearing my father’s name? People this brave are very rare in Tiandu nowadays. Unfortunately, they are too stupid.” said Zhang Tian’ang with a sneer when he saw that there were still about a dozen people left.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The moment Zhang Tian’ang finished speaking, sounds of doors being opened rang out repeatedly. The doors of the four rooms around the presidential suite were suddenly opened. Several dozen people rushed out of those rooms before surrounding Jiang Bai’s group. These people were equipped with various weapons such as clubs, daggers, and even spears.

Every single one of them was burly, muscular and over 1.8 meters tall. In fact, their arms were thicker than the legs of an average person. Each of them looked incredibly ferocious, and it was clear they were also experienced fighters. It only took a single glance to see that the quality of these men was far higher than Jiang Bai’s men.

“Since we’re going to be playing, let’s make it fun. I had someone investigate your background before. Therefore, I have naturally made some preparations before coming here. Of course, I have not expected that you would be brave enough to actually come. I know you’re a good fighter. But my men are good fighters as well. So what if you’re a good fighter? At my command, your skull will be immediately pierced by a bullet.” Zhang Tian’ang said and started roaring with laughter.

He stepped forth, staring at Jiang Bai and continued speaking arrogantly, “If you know what’s good for you, stand still and don’t move. Watch with your own eyes how I have fun with your beautiful cousin. If I’m sufficiently satisfied, I might even spare you.”

Then, Zhang Tian’ang started ignoring Jiang Bai and looked straight at Lin Wanru. He scanned Lin Wanru’s body with a lustful gaze, causing her to instantly go pale. With a perverted smile, he spoke, “Lin Wanru, you heard me. And you can see clearly what’s happening here. Serve me well today and I will spare that kid. Or else, I am still going to do what I’m about to do but on top of that, I will also allow my men to have some fun with you after I’m done. As for that kid and his men, they will be made to watch before dying.”

Zhang Tian’ang paused before he recalled something as he quickly added, “I am going to play with you right in front of him. Remember to struggle more. I like it when girls struggle. Hahaha! Come, let’s put on a good show for him. You may start stripping now.”

“Strip your mom!” Jiang Bai was completely infuriated when he heard all that. For the very first time in his life, he had the urge to kill someone. The moment he shouted, he dashed forward.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Moving like the wind, Jiang Bai leaped forward. Immediately, four figures were sent flying and crashed heavily on the wall. Four guns appeared in his hands while the four that were sent flying could no longer stand. After tossing the guns to Xu Jie, he charged forth again.

“Freeze, motherfuckers! Move and die!”

Wielding two guns, Xu Jie pointed at the people in the room. Zhang Tian’ang’s men no longer dared to move when they saw the guns in Xu Jie’s hands. They were aware that he was a madman. If he claimed that he would shoot, he would definitely do it.

“Boys, whoop their asses! Whoever dares to fight back will take a bullet from me!”

With a sinister grin on his face, Xu Jie commanded his men to go forward. With their confidence bolstered, they snatched the weapons off their opponents and started beating those people up. The room was filled with miserable wails, yet nobody dared to hit back. In a short few minutes, the floor was filled with a group of groaning men.

The abrupt change shocked Lin Wanru so much she yelled repeatedly. The confidence Zhang Tian’ang had vanished as he stared at Jiang Bai. With a pale expression, he threatened, his voice stammering.

“You…you…my father is Zhang Changgeng! If you dare touch me, my father will not spare you!”

Jiang Bai slowly walked toward Zhang Tian’ang, narrowed his eyes and sneered before saying, “So what if your father is Zhang Changgeng? Even if he is the god emperor, it won’t save you.”

After saying that, Jiang Bai sent Zhang Tian’ang flying with a kick. Zhang Tian’ang crashed on the wall with half his ribs broken. Even his internal organs were injured from the kick. A mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth like a fountain.

Jiang Bai was already holding back with the kick as he did not want to kill someone in the public. Otherwise, he could have turned Zhang Tian’ang into mincemeat with a single kick. That was not the end of this. Jiang Bai strode forward and unleashed four continuous punches on Zhang Tian’ang, crippling all four limbs of his. A miserable wail started to ring in the room.

After giving Zhang Tian’ang the beating, Jiang Bai was satisfied. Zhang Tian’ang was now with grave injuries and would probably end up many months in the hospital. Of course, the injuries were not fatal as Jiang Bai had controlled his force well when attacking. He had a stream of Hidden Force sent into Zhang Tian’ang’s body so as to protect him from death yet allow him to clearly feel the intense pain of being beaten up.

Even after doing all that, Jiang Bai did not intend to let this matter end here. He lifted Zhang Tian’ang with one hand before tossing him over to Xu Jie.

“Let’s go. Take him with us.”

The beating Zhang Tian’ang received was in fact quite a harsh lesson for him. With such injuries, even after treatment, his limbs would never be as nimble as they once were. With this, Jiang Bai had completely turned Zhang Changgeng into his enemy. Since that was the case, he had to find a way to end this conflict. Otherwise, endless troubles would ensue.

Xu Jie seemed to understand what Jiang Bai was trying to do. Without saying anything else, he waved his hand and had his men tore off the curtain before tying Zhang Tian’ang up. After tying Zhang Tian’ang up, they took his socks off and stuffed them in his mouth.

Jiang Bai scanned the room coldly and under Lin Wanru’s stupefied gaze and his men’s fanatical gazes, he spoke before he left.

“Go notify Zhang Changgeng to come see me. Just let him know that if he wants his son back, today, he will have to give me, Jiang Bai, an explanation for this!”

A fleet of vehicles had already been prepared by Xu Jie beforehand. They stuffed Zhang Tian’ang into one of the vehicles, and they all left on five different vans. Lin Wanru and Jiang Bai were seated on the same vehicle. When Lin Wanru got on the vehicle, she finally recovered from her shock. Still in disbelief, she opened her mouth, trying to say something.

“Cousin, you…”

Before Lin Wanru could say anything, Jiang Bai waved his hand and spoke gently.

“Don’t worry. I will handle everything. It will be fine. But you won’t be able to return to the campus for now. I’ll get Xu Jie to arrange a temporary hiding place for you. I will end this today.”

“Um.”

This time, Lin Wanru was not reprimanding Jiang Bai nor was she trying to educate Jiang Bai. She merely nodded obediently with a complicated look in her eyes. Everything that had happened today was a large shock to her; everything she knew seemed to have broken apart. It would take her some time to take in all this.

As they travelled, Jiang Bai proceeded to comfort Lin Wanru while also answering her questions such as the origin of his combat prowess. He claimed that since young, he had been secretly learning from an expert. And under Lin Wanru’s complicated and worshiping gaze, they arrived at the house of Xu Jie’s friend where she would be hiding for now. The friend was a middle-ranking police officer who was tight with Xu Jie as they once fought together in the army. He was a trustable friend of Xu Jie.

It was only now that Jiang Bai found out about Xu Jie’s past in the army. Xu Jie was from the special forces, a soldier that had truly been on the battlefield and had killed before. As for his past deployment locations, Jiang Bai did not ask. But he finally understood the reason for this guy to be so fearless and ruthless during fights.
