C18 – You Don’t Need This Hand Anymore

“You, what do you want?”

Sensing the lecherous intentions in these men’s eyes, Tong Waner couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. She took a couple of cautious steps backward and hesitantly addressed Brother Gou.

“Hehe, I don’t need anything from you. How about this? Pretty lady, spend the night with me. You can forget about their ten thousand yuan.”

Brother Gou’s lips twisted into a lecherous grin as he propositioned Tong Waner.

As soon as he made his indecent proposal, his gang of thugs behind him burst into laughter, their gazes dripping with lasciviousness.

“Disgusting and crude!”

Tong Waner’s expression darkened upon hearing Brother Gou’s words. Her eyes blazed with anger. She clenched her teeth and responded with a cold snort.

“Yeah, I’m disgusting and crude. Beautiful lady, come have some fun with me.”

Brother Gou’s face wore a wicked smile as his right hand reached out for Tong Waner’s delicate hand. His eyes gleamed with a sinister desire.

“Back off! Don’t touch me!”

Seeing Brother Gou’s advances, Tong Waner’s demeanor shifted. She hurriedly retreated, but after just a couple of steps, she found herself backed against a cold wall. There was no escape.

“Hehe, lovely lady, ten thousand yuan for a night with me. I’d say it’s quite the deal. After all, didn’t you intend to settle your friend’s debt?”

Seeing Tong Waner cornered, Brother Gou’s smirk deepened. He cast an evil leer in her direction.

“Hands off her!”

It was at this moment that Xiao Qing clenched her teeth and stood before Tong Waner, blocking her way. She addressed Brother Gou in a cold and resolute tone.

Slap...

Brother Gou extended his hand, delivering a resounding slap to Xiao Qing’s face. He then uttered in a cold tone, “There’s no place for you here. Step aside.”

Xiao Qing’s once lovely visage quickly swelled and reddened after the blow. She staggered to the side, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

“Xiao Qing!”

Witnessing this distressing scene, Tong Waner’s expression filled with concern as she hurried over to assess Xiao Qing’s condition.

“Miss, please come here.”

At that moment, Brother Gou firmly grasped Tong Waner’s smooth, tender hand, a malevolent grin creeping across his face.

“What do you think you’re doing? Release me at once!”

Panic overtook Tong Waner as her dainty hand remained ensnared by Brother Gou. She struggled with all her might.

Swish...

Brother Gou’s patience dwindled. He swiftly struck Tong Waner’s delicate and pretty face, his voice dripping with menace. “Young lady, there’s no need for such pretense. It’s an honor that I’ve taken an interest in you. Cease your charade!”

A bright crimson imprint gradually emerged on Tong Waner’s delicate countenance, forming a stark contrast against her porcelain skin. A searing pain radiated from her face, and tears welled up in her eyes, rendering her a pitiable sight.

Where is Big Brother Wang Xiao? Waner is being mistreated!

“Why the tears?”

Witnessing Tong Waner’s pitiful, tear-stained face, Brother Gou’s interest seemed to pique further. His eyes gleamed as he spoke, his hand inching closer to Tong Waner’s fragile frame.

“You’d better release her hand, or you’ll regret it.”

At that very moment, a chilling voice emanated from the doorway, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

“Did you hear that? Any further need for words?” Brother Gou demanded coldly, his countenance stern as he addressed the infuriated gang members.

“None!” The enraged gangsters chorused.

“Proceed!” Brother Gou commanded.

This time, the gang members seethed with anger. They pledged to administer several painful stabs to Wang Xiao, regardless of any pleas for mercy he might make later.

Swiftly, they advanced upon Wang Xiao. The gleaming blades of their knives hovered within a meter of him, malevolent smiles playing on their faces.

Yet, in that very moment, Wang Xiao’s legs widened apart, and he vanished from his original position.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Right after that, the air was filled with the dull thuds of kicks.

Among the group of thugs, a spectral figure swiftly weaved through. Whenever he raised his leg, a thug would be sent hurtling, crashing into the living room walls.

In no time at all, the living room resounded with the screams of the thugs.

In the midst of this chaos, only Brother Gou remained standing on the field.

“Is, is this guy even human? How did he manage to send so many people flying?”

At this moment, Brother Gou also cast a fearful glance at Wang Xiao and muttered in hushed tones.

He understood that Wang Xiao had dispatched all of his henchmen, but the exact method of their ejection eluded him.

Wang Xiao’s speed was simply too astonishing!

“Now, it’s your turn!”

Wang Xiao, once again turning his gaze toward Brother Gou, delivered these words with an icy tone.

“Kid, what, what do you intend to do? Do you have any idea who I am?”

Confronted with Wang Xiao’s unfeeling countenance, he drew closer to Brother Gou. An imperceptible wave of intimidation washed over him, causing Brother Gou’s expression to change in an instant. He nervously addressed Wang Xiao.

Pa...

His words barely faded before a resounding slap echoed through the air.

Brother Gou felt the world whirl around him in an instant, a fiery red handprint imprinting itself on his left cheek.

“Do I need an introduction?”

Wang Xiao’s tone turned icy.

“Kid, you’ve got guts to lay a hand on me. You’re in deep trouble!”

Wang Xiao’s slap left Brother Gou momentarily stunned. Then, a flicker of anger crossed his face as he confronted Wang Xiao.

“Just a slap? That would be too lenient.”

Wang Xiao’s lips curled into a chilling grin upon hearing Brother Gou’s words.

“What do you mean by that?”

Brother Gou’s expression shifted, his words faltering.

Wang Xiao’s subsequent action offered a clear response to Brother Gou’s query.

“Seems like you used your right hand to strike my lady, am I right?” He seized Brother Gou’s right hand, his voice carrying a dispassionate edge. “Well, your hand is no longer necessary.”

His words dripped with authority and a cutting finality.
