Chapter 987 - 952: Don’t Be Impulsive

"Wait a moment!"

Chunliang leaped into the air, his hands grabbing the top edge of the wall, flipping like a sparrow to land inside the enclosure.

The taxi driver stared in wide-eyed amazement at the scene before him, exclaiming, "An expert, indeed!"

Pu Jian waved to him; he needed to step on the driver’s shoulders to get up. The taxi driver, with a long face, said, "Officer, I have shoulder arthritis, can’t endure you stepping on it like this."

"Stop with the nonsense, I’ll give you an extra hundred later."

The taxi driver mumbled, "You haven’t even paid the fare yet."

"Enough with the nonsense. If you don’t cooperate with my duties, I’ll sue you."

The taxi driver could only squat down with resentment, allowing Pu Jian to step on his shoulders and climb up. Once over the wall, he carefully slid along the wall, seeing Chunliang had already approached the workshop. Pu Jian looked around and spotted a wrist-thick steel pipe. He tried to lift it, but it didn’t budge; it was buried in the ground, possibly several meters long.

Pu Jian had no choice but to abandon it, picking up a brick nearby and hurriedly followed.

Chunliang didn’t choose to rush through the door immediately; he first peeked inside through the window. Su Qing stood there, Three Two Three was lying on the ground, being punched and kicked by a Great Han.

The tape on Three Two Three’s mouth was removed, and he let out miserable screams.

A middle-aged man in a gray linen T-shirt waved his hand, saying, "Alright, stop hitting."

The Great Han halted his actions.

The middle-aged man walked up to Three Two Three and said, "Xu Xiaoyue, right? I heard you got something from Chen Shuigen, is it true?"

Three Two Three, with bruised and swollen facial features, replied, "I don’t know any... any Chen Shuigen... Ouch..." He took a hard kick and fainted.

The middle-aged man turned to Su Qing, "Wow, really beautiful; Miss Su, you surely know what I want. Hand it over, and I’ll let you go."

Su Qing said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. What you’re doing now is illegal abduction. Do you even care about the law?"

The middle-aged man laughed sinisterly, "Seems you don’t know my skill. We brothers don’t know what law is; we only recognize money. Someone paid us to do a job, so we have to do it properly. Why make it hard for us? If my brothers get angry and do something worse, you’ll regret it then."

Su Qing truly didn’t have what they wanted. This trouble was brought by Three Two Three; the item should be with him. But earlier, they searched him thoroughly and found nothing.

The middle-aged man said, "Since you’re not cooperating, we have no choice but to search thoroughly. Who’ll do it?"

The surrounding Great Hans simultaneously said, "I’ll do it!"

Su Qing was startled; these shameless guys were really frightening. Three Two Three fainted at the worst time, leaving her in the crossfire.

Su Qing, in panic, said, "Don’t come near!"

The group continued approaching her with sinister smiles.

Su Qing said, "My boyfriend is Chunliang."

One of the Great Hans seemed to have heard of Chunliang’s name, pausing and saying, "Brother, she says her boyfriend is Chunliang."

The middle-aged man spat disdainfully, "What the hell is Chunliang? If he comes, we’ll beat him until he doubts life itself. You don’t act, then I’ll do it."

Su Qing said, "Stop!"

The crowd was stunned, and Su Qing said, "Aren’t you after that item? I’ll give it to you." In fact, she was only stalling for time. While they were stunned, she turned and ran outside, but after a few steps, she saw the Great Han at the door block her path with a sinister smile.

Su Qing felt despair; had she known earlier, she wouldn’t have gone to Three Two Three’s dinner. Now, not even the heavens or earth could help, as her phone was taken.

She halted, "Alright, I admit the item isn’t with me, but I know where it is. Give me back my phone."

The middle-aged man sneered, "Do you take me for a fool? Brothers, strip her and search thoroughly."

Just then, someone walked in from outside; everyone was stunned. Su Qing, almost unable to believe her eyes, wondered if she was dreaming. When did Chunliang arrive? Her heart filled with both joy and grievance, tears slipping down.

The middle-aged man looked at Chunliang coldly, "How did you get in?"

Chunliang said, "I was here all along. Continue what you’re doing. I’m not going to interfere. Where were you?"

One Great Han said, "The brother told us to strip her."

Chunliang nodded, "Really? Then go ahead. I’ll watch too."

Su Qing blushed, scolding, "Are you human?" She no longer felt afraid.

Chunliang said, "They’re the ones trying to strip you, yet you scold me? Can’t tell right from wrong?" Then I won’t intervene; sort it out yourself."

Su Qing said, "Didn’t ask for your help; you don’t care for me anyway."

The group of criminals was bewildered. How could these two flirt and argue right in front of them, treating them as if they were invisible? Were they not fierce enough, not numerous enough, or lacked intimidation?

Xu Chunliang said, "If I didn’t come, wouldn’t it be easy for others."

Su Qing spat, "You’re not a good person either."

A bunch of Great Han stared blankly at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily, "Why the hell are you all looking at me? Go on, hit him!"

A bearded Great Han wielding a steel pipe charged at Xu Chunliang.

Su Qing said, "He was the one who just slapped me."

Xu Chunliang, who had been standing there smiling, suddenly turned pale, an invisible aura of killing intent emanating from him, making everyone feel like it was a cold autumn.

The bearded man’s actions paused momentarily, and in that instant, Xu Chunliang charged at him like an enraged lion, slapped his face, causing the bearded man’s head to whip around violently, and before he could turn back, another slap landed.

The crisp sound of slaps echoed, and the bearded man completely lost the ability to fight back in front of Xu Chunliang, the steel pipe in his hand seemed useless, Xu Chunliang’s first slap knocked him out, and afterward, he could only endure it.

Everyone was stunned as they watched Xu Chunliang deliver over ten fierce slaps to the bearded man’s face, causing blood to splatter, and only when Xu Chunliang stopped did the bearded man fall straight to the ground.

Pu Jian sneaked into the workshop with a brick, initially expecting fireworks welcoming him, but upon entering, he saw the scene of the bearded man falling, and inwardly lamented, I told you, if you want to die, find the right path, a bunch of blind fools.

The five Great Han beside the middle-aged man were clearly shocked by the scene before them, though they held weapons, none dared to step forward.

Xu Chunliang said, "Who’s next? Or are you all coming at once?"

The middle-aged man forcefully shoved his short and stout subordinate on the right, causing the guy to stumble forward two steps, seeing something spinning like a windmill flying towards him.

Bam!

Xu Chunliang picked up the steel pipe from the ground and threw it accurately at his forehead, the short and stout man cursed the middle-aged man’s ancestors while falling with a shocking bruise.

Xu Chunliang walked towards the group step by step, as he advanced, they retreated, this guy is too ruthless.

The middle-aged man remembered something, grabbed Three Two Three from the ground, pulled out a short knife, and held it against Three Two Three’s neck, "Don’t come over, don’t come over, or I’ll kill him!"

Xu Chunliang sneered, "Then kill him, originally it was just illegal detention, now there’s a murder charge, and all five of you are accessories, at worst everyone will get executed."

With one sentence, internal division arose among them, a Great Han with a Guan Gong tattoo on his chest said, "Big brother, don’t act impulsively, absolutely not."

"Scram!" The middle-aged man didn’t intend to kill, he just wanted to threaten Xu Chunliang in this manner.

Xu Chunliang said, "Who the hell hired you bunch of useless people? Confess, and I’ll let you go."

The middle-aged man said, "You think I’m that easy to deceive?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Either confess and leave now, or I’ll beat you all up and hand you over to the police for questioning."

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Would I believe you?"

The Guan Gong tattooed Great Han said, "Big brother, I don’t think he’s lying, maybe we should just say it and leave."

The middle-aged man kicked him in anger, such a fool.

Xu Chunliang said, "This brother with the Guan Gong tats seems smart, why don’t you grab him for me, only him, everyone else can leave."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, "Stop sowing discord here, now, hand over your stuff quickly, or I’ll kill him."

Xu Chunliang sighed, "You all better weigh your options, choose between being a murderer’s accomplice or giving yourselves a chance to leave."

A Great Han bit his lip suddenly rushing forward, grabbing the middle-aged man’s knife-wielding hand, "Big brother, don’t act impulsively."

The Guan Gong tattooed Great Han also rushed forward.

Pu Jian was dumbfounded, what is happening here, internal revolt among the enemies!

The middle-aged man was furious, how did he end up with such useless teammates.

Xu Chunliang walked over and kicked him in the stomach, sending the middle-aged man flying backward, crashing into a wooden box five meters away, scattering its contents.

Xu Chunliang said, "Get lost now!"

The five thugs hesitated, then turned and ran.

Pu Jian thought Xu Chunliang was really letting them go, when police sirens sounded outside, Xu Chunliang had already called the police upon arriving, although he was confident in subduing them, considering Su Qing’s safety, he couldn’t be careless, and based on his understanding of police efficiency, they usually show up around this time.

The Guan Gong tattooed thug looked at Xu Chunliang with a face full of grievance, "You said you’d let us go?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I said that if I didn’t let you go, your fate would be like his."

He pointed at the bearded man on the ground, then walked towards the middle-aged man, grabbed his sparse hair from the top of his head, pulled him up and slapped his face, "Speak, who ordered you?"
