Chapter 35: Bang!

Hearing the sound, Su Ming's steps faltered slightly.

He could tell that the voice belonged to Xia Weiwei.

But soon he continued walking forward at an unhurried pace.

It probably wasn't speaking to him.

Unfamiliar.

"Stop! Su Ming! I told you to stop! Are you deaf?!"

However, the voice behind him completely changed tone.

The tone was filled with hysterical anger.

And a trace... of uncontrollable excitement!

The surrounding crowd fell silent instantly, countless gazes shot toward this side.

The few black‑clad bodyguards who had been holding the middle‑aged man rushed forward immediately.

They were well‑trained, moved extremely fast, and instantly formed a surrounding formation.

With bulky arms and indifferent eyes, they blocked Su Ming's path solidly.

"Tsk."

Su Ming was forced to stop and turned around slowly.

His impatience in his eyes was unmistakable.

This woman...

She's a bit seriously ill!

"Ha, run? Can you even run away?"

Accompanied by a rapid clatter of high heels, Xia Weiwei pushed through the crowd and walked over.

She stood in front of Su Ming, a twisted delight on her face.

These past few days, she has attached herself to Black Shadow.

The continuous Green Light made her a minor celebrity even within the organization, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

But the name Su Ming is like a thorn lodged in her heart!

How could she have such a worthless ex‑boyfriend?!

And this loser actually dared to block her?!

Fortunately, the thorn delivered itself to her doorstep!

Now she only feels a wave of pleasure throughout her body!

"Su Ming, Su Ming, you really are a good dog."

Xia Weiwei crossed her arms, looking down at Su Ming from above.

"You blocked me, yet you can't help wagging your tail and following me—what? Regretting?"

She laughed wildly, her voice sharp and grating.

"I'm telling you, it's too late!"

"You're such trash, you're not even fit to fetch my shoes!"

Around them, a chorus of laughter and chatter rose.

"Who's this guy? A pretty boy? So pitiful?"

"Sounds like an ex, tsk tsk, this woman is ruthless."

"A toad trying to eat swan meat, that's how it is!"

Xia Weiwei relished the feeling of being the center of attention.

She wants to publicly humiliate Su Ming.

She'll stomp this man—who once dared to block her and now is lukewarm toward her—right into the mud!

Yet Su Ming's gaze remained as still as an ancient well, his thoughts drifting—

He didn't have lunch today at noon.

He killed a chicken for fun and missed the time.

Now he's actually a bit hungry and doesn't know what to eat.

Xia Weiwei watched Su Ming's indifferent, unresponsive demeanor and felt an unnamed fire rise within her.

"What are you pretending for?!"

Her voice suddenly rose sharply, her face twisted ferociously.

Then she let out a cold laugh and bent down—

Deliberately, she slipped off the expensive high heel from her right foot.

"Sss—"

In the crowd, a wave of sharp inhalations rose.

This development... is insanely explosive!

Immediately after, she also removed her flesh‑colored stockings.

"Don't you want me to show you mercy?"

She licked her lips, a malicious glint flashing in her eyes.

"Your chance is here."

"Now, immediately, kneel."

"Lick my foot... clean it! No spot may be missed!"

"If you lick it to satisfaction, there's two thousand, consider it your dog food reward!"

She flung a stack of cash from her bag, slamming it hard onto the ground!

"Hahaha! Lick! Lick quickly!"

"This guy's got luck!"

"Useless people should have the awareness of being useless!"

"Wuh wuh wuh, the goddess is so great, why reward him? Can I lick instead?"

The crowd boiled over completely.

Vulgar curses and boisterous heckling intertwined with the crowd's love of spectacle.

"Hm?"

Su Ming snapped back to his senses from hunger.

"What is this woman muttering about?"

He was truly getting annoyed.

Delaying him from going to eat at a street stall!

"You! You bastard! Kneel!!!"

Xia Weiwei, seeing Su Ming still unmoved, went completely berserk.

"Slap!!!!"

A crisp crack!

The sound was so loud it instantly drowned out all the clamor.

Xia Weiwei's scream abruptly stopped.

She was struck backward, her delicate makeup instantly contorted.

A purple‑red handprint swelled instantly on her fair cheek.

Sss!

The whole venue fell dead silent.

"You... you damn... actually..."

Xia Weiwei covered her face, her eyes full of terror and disbelief.

"Slap!!!!"

Su Ming swung his other hand for another slap.

That strike sent Xia Weiwei sprawling to the ground with a miserable scream, looking utterly disheveled.

"Aaah! Kill him! Kill him for me!"

Xia Weiwei writhed on the ground, screaming.

"Grass Mud Horse!"

A few bodyguards finally came to their senses, eyes bulging, and charged at Su Ming.

Afterward.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

None of the bodyguards even brushed Su Ming's coat.

Each one screamed miserably as they were flung backward, spitting blood, teeth scattering.

Su Ming clapped his hands and walked up to the trembling, collapsed Xia Weiwei on the ground.

"Idiot."

He calmly uttered two words.

Then, stepping over her body, he strode away amid the stunned gazes of the countless onlookers.

In the dead silence.

A middle‑aged man in a plain jacket, blending into the crowd, stared dumbfounded at Su Ming's departing silhouette.

But after only a brief daze, he quickly slipped into a nearby shadow and produced a custom encrypted communicator.

"Report! Target 【Peacock】 is having a fierce clash with someone on West District Pedestrian Street!"

Since this morning, after Yan Ruoxue and Xia Weiwei's party appeared at the abandoned junkyard...

they've been logged by the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau's covert monitor.

And the codename 【Peacock】 naturally refers to Xia Weiwei.

Too flamboyant!

The bureau is currently short‑handed.

But dealing with someone like Xia Weiwei doesn't require much effort.

She acts ostentatiously, arrogantly, as if she wants everyone's eyes on her.

Tracking her is just ridiculously easy.

"The other side... seems to be her ex‑boyfriend, but his combat skill is decent!"

"Beating those bodyguards is like playing a game!"

…

Jiangzhou Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

Qin Feng was hunched over a map of Jiangcheng, looking frazzled, while a few more cigarette butts were added to the ashtray.

"Understood."

After hearing the report, he just rubbed his brow.

"It's probably just a minor friction, it's on record, keep observing—we don't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters now."

"Wait… wait a moment."

Beside him, Lin Wan, who was also studying the documents, suddenly spoke up.

Her eyes were fixed on the on‑site candid photo sent back by that informant.

The photo is a bit blurry, capturing the moment Su Ming turned sideways and left.

Lin Wan frowned slightly.

It wasn't that she thought the man in the photo was particularly ruthless in his actions.

But rather…

She stared at that profile, and a strange, inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart.

"This person…"

Lin Wan enlarged the photo.

"I feel like… I've seen him somewhere before."
