Chapter 35: Xu Zihang was Surrounded
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In any era, the strong would always bully the weak; and the venue of bullying was always consistent: the small forest behind school, by the river or in the countryside. This was because these places had a geographical advantage; people would scream their lungs out, but no one would hear them. Moreover, they could also teach the people a lesson as and however they liked.
At this moment, one of Xu Zihang’s brothers was kicked in the ass and landed in the river. The youngsters were having the time of their life and laughing out loud.
Amidst the few people that were laughing, Song Ye saw a familiar person straight away.
When she heard what Wang Tiechuan said, she guessed that it was the people who caused trouble in the desolate house. However, those few punks became her sandbag, and she guessed that they had blamed this score on Xu Zihang.
It seemed like she had some relation to it so when Wang Tiechuan knocked on the door, she had the right to train her body.
Dagger still had his arm in his cast as he bragged. “Xu Zihang, when I’m done playing with you, I’ll hand you to Brother Zheng. He said if I handed you in, he’ll give the brothers twenty thousand dollars. If I knew that a kid like you was worth so much money, I would have kidnapped you a long time ago.”
When they heard twenty thousand dollars, the few youngsters’ eyes turned green. At this decade, it was a large sum of money.
Xu Zihang held his stomach and fell on the floor, but his pale face did not have any signs of weakness. “If you dare, just kill me right now. If not…” He squinted his eyes, and when no one was looking, he suddenly pounced forward. He picked up a rock from the floor and smashed it on Dagger’s chest.
“Ah…” Dagger was hurt. Then, the surrounding brothers reacted and pressed him down again before punching and kicking him.
After a very long time, Dagger held his chest and slowly recovered. He glared at Xu Zihang stiffly and was so angry until his eyes turned red. “Wow, you’re really crazy. Hold his hand down. I’ll cripple him today, and we’ll see how crazy he can still be.”
After his hand was fractured that day, he was still in a cast. When he thought about it, his blood would boil; and yet he could not find the stupid woman that caused it. Since Xu Zihang had coincidentally hit his arm, then he should not blame him for being harsh.
“Oh f*ck, Brother Xu…” When he saw that Xu Zihang’s hand was pressed against the rock, Wang Tiechuan was so anxious until he broke out in cold sweat and rolled his sleeves up to rush over.
However, when he took a step, a cloth flew to his face. “Take this.” A cold command was heard. When Wang Tiechuan took it, he saw that Song Ye’s thin figure was already far away.
Xu Zihang was suppressed the whole way, and now that he was going to lose his hand, it would be a lie to say that he was not scared. However, his pride did not allow him to beg for mercy. It was just a hand; it would be over if he just endured for a little while.
“Hehe, I do want to see how long your pride lasts!” Dagger held the rock and sneered as he was prepared to take action. Suddenly, his shoulder was hit; and he instinctively turned around to see an intricate, good-looking face. “Who…?”
Before he could finish his question, the person in front took action and grabbed his wrist with one hand and quickly flipped him over. Kacha! Kacha! The clear and familiar sound sounded. When he recovered his senses, the excruciating pain had already extended into his bones. “Ah…”
“Hey, long time, no see.” Song Ye squatted and calmly greeted him. As she felt that explaining would be too troublesome, taking action might help him trigger his memory.
As expected, Dagger collapsed on the floor and could not exert any strength in his two arms as he stared at Song Ye with familiar fright. “It’s you!”
Other than the stupid woman from the desolate house, there would not be a second person who knew this pervertic yet familiar torture method.
Song Ye nodded and generously admitted to it. When she stood up, she casually stepped on his wrist with one foot. Kacha! The person’s curses suddenly became a bitter cry.
Perhaps the sound was too pitiful or the wind blowing by the river was too cold. At this moment, a chill was sent down everyone’s spines.
“Who are you?” The other punks collectively took three steps back and vigilantly looked at the handsome face that suddenly appeared.
When Dagger fainted due to the pain, Song Ye walked to Xu Zihang’s side and stood there. He pointed at him and said, “Are you going to let us go like this, or do you want to fight first?”
Her tone was so calm until it was arrogant as if she was just asking if the weather was fine today. This made Xu Zihang, who was sitting down, look up and size her up and her surroundings. After a while, he clenched his teeth and asked softly, “Where’s the rest?”
He asked it meticulously, but Song Ye replied magnanimously. “I came here alone.”
Instantly, Xu Zihang’s entire gang of brothers was taken aback, along with the few punks opposite her. Afterward, they surveyed the surroundings and laughed loudly. “You dare to cause trouble alone, toy boy? Hahaha, Brothers, let’s slowly play with him today.”
When she heard the words ‘toy boy’1, Song Ye unhappily furrowed her brows. Even though her skin was white and she was wearing a white shirt, they could not call her names as they liked.
However, this knitting of her eyebrows was misunderstood as being scared, especially Xu Zihang—who knew that she was a girl—had a huge headache. He forcefully stood up. “Why did you come alone? Get lost!” At first, he thought that Song Ye dared to come because she was prepared, but in the end, she was just a burden. If they found out that Song Ye was a girl, it would spell trouble.
Song Ye looked at the young man covered in dirt in front of her; he looked like he would be blown away by the wind, but he was still acting strong. In her heart, she admired his guts. She walked around him and stood in front of the crowd. As Song Ye was rolling up her sleeve, she answered his earlier question “Me alone is enough.”
What? Xu Zihang was stunned and did not quite understand what she meant, but the woman next to her had already acted like a lightning strike. Before the punks opposite them could see clearly, they had already taken a blow.
“Ah!”
The poor sound came one after another, followed by crisps sounds of the bones breaking. In the end, more than ten punks had collapsed into a pile amidst the chaos.
Xu Zihang watched on by the side until his mouth went agape as he finally understood what she meant. When he was still deeply impressed by her, he saw that a punk behind Song Ye had taken out a dagger. His heart sank as he yelled with all his might. “Song Ye, be careful.”
Before he finished his sentence, Song Ye in front had already turned around and held the other party’s wrist. With the twists of some fingers, the dagger had beautifully landed in her hands. Her thin arm raised and landed, followed by blood spurting out, as the dagger was deeply stabbed into the other party’s shoulder blade.
When the wind blew the blood smell, everyone’s actions slowed down. When the punks saw that Song Ye was so harsh in her moves, they were all scared until they shivered and later ran off in their separate ways.
“Ah… don’t—don’t kill me. I’m begging you… ah, I’m begging you…” The punk, who was stabbed by the dagger, collapsed on the floor in agony. When he saw that Song Ye was squatting in front of him, his face turned as white as a sheet.
“I heard that you guys are from the Low Tiger Gang.” Song Ye asked nonchalantly, but when she was talking, her fingers touched the dagger, threatening him clearly.
