C533 – You Should Not be in the Society with Your Iq
“Are you all right, young master?” the person sitting beside him asked anxiously.
“I’m fine!” Ning Zhiyuan snapped. “Find some people to beat him up for me, and make sure they do it until he’s half-dead!”
”Yes, yes, yes!” The henchmen, having been with Ning Zhiyuan for quite some time, understood the situation well.
As the eldest son of the Ning family, wasn’t it easy for him to make connections with some shady characters? What’s the big deal about beating someone up? The worst that could happen is a short stint in jail.
After a few days behind bars, they’d be released, and it would all come down to a matter of money. This line of work was their bread and butter, and they were quite skilled at it. They could inflict pain without causing serious injury, avoiding any lengthy sentences—just a few days in detention. Every profession has its experts, and this was no exception.
The subordinates quickly made a few calls. Ning Zhiyuan instructed them to park the car at the roadside and wait. He was eager to see Su Ming get a beating to relieve his frustration.
Meanwhile, Su Ming and his companions were blissfully unaware, enjoying their skewers and drinks while engaged in lively conversation. Suddenly, a group of men approached.
These men, all dressed in black, carried themselves with an air of arrogance that clearly marked them as trouble. Patrons at nearby tables instinctively quieted down, knowing better than to provoke such thugs.
The men were on a mission, heading straight for Su Ming. “Hey, lucky guy, you’ve got quite the charm with the ladies. How about sharing one with me?” the ringleader sneered, flashing a grin that showcased his yellow teeth, still speckled with bits of leek.
Su Qiu had just picked up a skewer but paused, visibly taken aback by the sight, and quietly set it back down. It was simply revolting.
“Are you here to cause trouble for me?” Su Ming asked, looking up with a serene expression.
“That’s not quite the right way to put it,” the leader replied, dragging a chair over and sitting beside Su Ming. “Let’s just say you’re sharing the wealth. But don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you for free. You’ll have to pay up!”
The leader pulled a coin from his pocket and slapped it down on the table with a defiant look at Su Ming. “How about that?” It was clear as day—he was looking for a fight. Su Ming remained silent, which made the leader think he was scared.
Turning to the two young women, he said, “You two little sisters are quite pretty. How about you come out and have some fun with me?” He flashed what he believed to be a charming smile.
“No way,” Su Qiu quickly responded, shaking her head in disgust.
”Absolutely!” Zhang Qianqian nodded emphatically in agreement.
The leader, taken aback, pulled out a mirror and combed his hair, admiring his own reflection. “You don’t think I’m handsome? I can’t hide this invincible charm. Are you girls just shy?” He grinned with unwarranted confidence.
“Blergh!” someone groaned. “My stomach hurts!” “I’m gonna puke!”
The crowd couldn’t hold back their reactions. Sure, he looked tough and had a crew with him, but did he have to be so revolting? This wasn’t about throwing punches; it was about making people sick to their stomachs.
Big Brother’s mood soured instantly. “What’s the meaning of this?” he barked. “Shut your mouths!”
He banged the table and pointed at Su Ming. “Listen up, kid. Someone’s paid us to take care of you. Stand still and take a beating, hand over the two girls, and we’ll call it even. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next!” His face twisted into a snarl.
“Oh no!” Su Ming exclaimed as he stood up. “You’re too much for me. I can’t compete. You win!”
”Good, you understand,” Big Brother sneered, pleased with himself. “Just a show of force and the kid folds.”
“Don’t move a muscle. Boys, get him!” Big Brother commanded, and his two henchmen charged forward, wielding thick rubber clubs.
This stick was merciless.
Striking someone with it caused excruciating pain.
No marks showed on the surface.
The damage was all internal.
“Hey, little sisters, where shall we go have some fun later? You pick the place, I’ll foot the bill...”
Big Brother shifted his focus to the other two girls, grinning as he spoke.
”Bam!”
But before he could finish...
Suddenly, there was a noise from the side.
Then, in a flash,
Swoosh!
Ouch!
Big Brother was in agony!
“You little punk, you tricked me! It was you who hit me!”
Clutching his chest, Big Brother pointed at Su Ming, fuming with rage.
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
You’re just figuring this out now?
Any normal person would have caught on first thing in the morning, right?
And you still think you can run the streets?
Indeed.
Brains are the least of your concerns in this business.
If you’re strong and can throw a punch, you’re set.
It seems this job is right up your alley.
Even bricklaying requires some thought.
Figuring out how to move more bricks, earn more money, and use less energy.
His henchmen were dumbfounded.
They couldn’t resist covering their faces.
Big Brother.
We can’t keep rolling with you.
It’s kind of humiliating!
Luckily, Skinny Monkey was cushioning the fall.
Big Brother’s injuries weren’t severe.
He picked himself up off the ground.
Fuming, he charged at Su Ming.
I must have let my guard down.
I didn’t dodge!
But this time, I’m paying attention.
I refuse to believe this kid can land another punch...
“Ah!”
Another cry of pain followed.
The trajectory was identical.
Thud!
And down onto Skinny Monkey once more.
Onlookers turned away, unable to watch.
Skinny Monkey had already taken a beating.
And now, he’d been struck twice more by you.
Talk about a disastrously bad teammate!
