Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Just because of this?"

Zhao Jian Hua suddenly sneered, his gaze sweeping over Hu Ge and the others like knives: "You little hoodlums, do you really love stirring up trouble? Just because of this little thing, you want to block Xiao Lu and attack him? Utterly lawless! Ridiculous! Absolutely foolish!"

"I say, gentlemen, you can't put it that way!"

The fat man stuck out his neck, his voice full of displeasure: "We just wanted him to cook for us; what's wrong with teaching him a lesson for not giving us face? Today we only wanted to scare him, we didn't really do anything to him. Besides, look at us—we're the ones he beat up so badly. We're the victims!"

Hu Ge almost couldn't resist jumping up to give the fat man a hard slap.

Damn it, doesn't he see the situation now?

We're fish on the chopping board right now, and you're still acting so self-righteous! Is your head full of shit?

Qin Ye glanced faintly at the fat man and sneered: "So, you still feel wronged? Because you couldn't eat Xiao Lu's food, you can ambush him? By your logic, if you go to the hospital and the doctor can't cure your illness, you can beat up the doctor?"

"Right!"

The fat man answered without thinking, a smug look on his face: "Last time I had a cold, the quack at our community hospital gave me three days of medicine, and it did absolutely nothing, so I gave him two slaps!"

As he said this, his tone was as if he were boasting about something very glorious.

He completely failed to notice Hu Ge desperately winking and signaling at him, or the increasingly grim expressions of Qin Ye and the others.

"……"

Qin Ye and the others exchanged glances, momentarily speechless.

Xu Shao Ying frowned and asked Hu Ge: "Do you share the same thoughts as him?"

"No, no, no, sir, I'm not familiar with this person!"

Hu Ge waved his hands frantically, shaking his head as he spoke.

Yellow Hair and the Short Man also turned their faces away and shifted their bodies to distance themselves from the fat man.

"Hey, Hu Ge, why……"

The fat man was still confused and about to say something.

"Enough, enough!"

Qin Ye interrupted the fat man in displeasure, glared at him, and said with a hint of helplessness: "I really don't know how your brain grew. You think what you did is right, don't you?"

"Young man, if we go by what you're saying……"

Liu Zhen Guo suddenly spoke. Though he had a smile on his face, there was no warmth in his eyes. He stared at the four on the ground and said in a light, floating tone: "If I find you displeasing to the eye right now, can I also have these people beat you up? After all, you make me uncomfortable. But don't worry—if we really beat you up later, we'll cover the medical and nutritional expenses, and we definitely won't welch on the bill."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so black-clad men standing behind Qin Ye moved.

They cracked their joints one by one, their joints making sharp crackling sounds, and excitement shone in their eyes.

As if, the moment Liu Zhen Guo gave the order, they would immediately rush up and beat Hu Ge and the others black and blue.

Hu Ge and the others were instantly terrified; they had already seen the skills of these black-clad men when they were brought over earlier.

One-on-one, they had no power to resist. If this many people surrounded and beat them, even if they didn't die, they'd be crippled.

"No, no, no! Sirs, please don't be angry! We really know we were wrong!"

Hu Ge slapped the fat man's head hard, then hurriedly stepped forward two steps to beg for mercy: "We were originally planning to go apologize to Lu Boss! Really! We'll never dare again!"

The fat man was now so scared he covered his mouth, not daring to say a word.

He had seen clearly the excitement in those black-clad men's eyes earlier.

That wasn't just to scare them; it was the look of people truly hoping to attack.

Yellow Hair and the Short Man also joined in begging for mercy.

While they were afraid, they also began to feel ashamed.

Not long ago, they had bullied many honest people. In the past, they thought such things were natural, that life in the underworld was the law of the jungle.

When they bullied others before, they never thought about putting themselves in others' shoes. They always felt they were the strong ones, and that doing whatever they wanted felt great.

But now they had become targets for others to slaughter, and only then did they suddenly realize how terrible that feeling of fear and helplessness was.

At the same time, they realized what absurd thing they had done in a fit of anger tonight.

"Sorry! We know we were wrong!"

Hu Ge's voice trembled slightly, but sounded especially sincere.

He bowed deeply to Qin Ye and the others, lowering his waist very low: "Elders, thank you for making us realize our mistake. We'll never dare again!"

As he spoke, he gave the fat man and the others behind him a signal.

The three immediately understood, got up from the ground, and the four stood in a row, bowing deeply to Qin Ye and the others, their movements as neat as students being lectured.

"Tsk…… You realized your mistake so quickly?"

Xiao Li, behind Qin Ye, looked full of regret. He moved his wrist and looked at the four with a half-smile: "Are you sure you realize your mistake from the bottom of your hearts? Or should you persist a bit longer?"

Xiao Li's gaze swept over the four, as if sizing up prey, and the excitement in his eyes had not faded.

He had originally thought these little hoodlums could keep talking tough for a while, so he could at least stretch his muscles.

Unexpectedly, before they had exchanged a few words, the other side directly admitted their mistake.

"Sure! Absolutely sure! We'll go apologize to Lu Boss properly tomorrow! Guarantee we'll never come looking for trouble for him again!"

Hu Ge and the others, looking at the tiger-like gazes of the dozen black-clad men, spoke in unison with great tacit understanding.

Qin Ye looked at their flustered appearance, and his tense face finally relaxed a little. He waved at them: "Alright, since you know you were wrong, hurry up and leave. Remember, when you apologize to Xiao Lu, be sincere. Don't play any tricks."

"Thank you, Elders! Thank you, Elders, for sparing us!"

Hu Ge, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly thanked them, took Yellow Hair and the others, turned around, and left.

The four fled in panic like frightened rabbits, their figures quickly disappearing outside the courtyard gate.

"Master Qin, just let them go like that? Shouldn't we teach them a lesson so they remember? I was all warmed up just now..."

Xiao Li looked at Hu Ge and the others' fleeing figures with a face full of regret, unable to help but edge up to Master Qin and ask quietly.

Master Qin glared at him, speaking in a very dissatisfied tone: "What? Do you want to learn from those street thugs, solving problems with your fists at the slightest provocation? You are soldiers! Soldiers who defend home and country! Can you be as undisciplined as these idle little thugs?"
