Chapter 237 Challenges from the Thai Boxing King
“What did you say? We have so many brothers, how can we not be his opponent?” Long Xiang asked with a shocked face, “How many of them are there?”
The little gangster said hesitantly, “It’s… It’s a bit hard to say!”
Long Xiang slapped him and said angrily, “Are you f.u.c.king silly? Can’t you count, thirty or fifty?”
The little bully covered his face and said, “Not so many, just a young man holding a child. The little girl is only three or four years old. I don’t know if she should be counted as one person or not.”
“What? You mean a man with a child is smas.h.i.+ng our place?”
Long Xiang thought that the little gangster in front of him was crazy. All the gangsters he kept were experienced in fighting. How could it be possible that forty or fifty people could not fight a man with a child?
Just then, the door was kicked open. Qin Haodong stood loftily at the door with the little fellow in his arms.
Seeing the little fellow eating a lollipop, Long Xiang immediately realized that this was the man who could fight very well. Now he could only turn to Long Haisheng for help. He hurried and cried, “G.o.dfather, this fellow is obviously not giving you face, so you must teach him a good lesson!”
At the same time, he also felt a little strange. Although the bar was under his control, it belonged to Long Haisheng anyway. How could Long Haisheng’s bodyguards be so indifferent when the bar was being smashed?
But he didn’t know that Long Haisheng’s bodyguards had either been knocked down by Qin Haodong or were very familiar with him, so it was impossible for them to make a move.
“Uncle Long, why are you here? Is Brother Xiaobao here? I want to play with him.”
The little fellow had a keen eye and recognized Long Haisheng at once.
“Xiao Bao didn’t come. You can go to my home sometime.” After seeing Qin Haodong, Long Haisheng, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up and said enthusiastically, “Brother Qin, why are you here?”
Seeing his G.o.dfather’s affectionate respect for this young man, Long Xiang was filled with astonishment, and he wondered if there was any young man in the south of the Yangtze River who could make Long Haisheng behave so respectfully.
Qin Haodong was not sure whether it had anything to do with Long Haisheng. He said with a cold face, “I’m here to find Prince and ask him about a woman.”
The little fellow said in her childish voice, “A bad man caught the mother of an elder sister.”
As the controller of the underground world in the south of the Yangtze River, Long Haisheng also knew that Long Xiang had given himself the t.i.tle of Prince. He turned his head and asked, “What’s the matter, you did it?”
Long Xiang trembled with fear. He didn’t expect that someone would come to him for the woman he had taken away, and it happened that Long Haisheng was also there. Although Long Haisheng was the leader of the underworld, he was very strict with his subordinates. If he knew that he had kidnapped Liu Yage, he would finish him off.
He shook his head and said, “I don’t know, G.o.dfather. There are so many men under me. Maybe it’s an ignorant b.a.s.t.a.r.d who did it.”
Qin Haodong found that Long Haisheng knew nothing about it. He glanced at Long Xiang next to him and said in a cold voice, “Are you Prince?”
“My brothers call me this t.i.tle just for fun!”
Long Xiang said with embarra.s.sment. Although Long Haisheng was the boss of the underworld, it was a bit too much for him to get the t.i.tle of Prince. Besides, Long Haisheng had his own son. Although his son would die of leukemia sooner or later, he was not dead yet.
“That’s you. You let Liu Yage go, or I’ll send you to h.e.l.l now.”
Qin Haodong’s voice was not loud but intimidating, which made people feel unable to resist.
Long Xiang was shocked. He held hold Long Haisheng’s arm and said, “G.o.dfather, you have to help me. I really don’t know who this Liu Yage is.”
Long Haisheng said, “Brother Qin, could there be a misunderstanding?”
“I am 100% sure that he is the one who kidnapped the woman.”
Qin Haodong’s powerful spirit had felt the breath of Liu Yage from Long Xiang, which was more useful than any evidence.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and carefully felt the source of the breath. It was next door.
In Long Haisheng’s view, he was the leader of the underworld. Long Xiang dared not deceive him even if he had the courage. So he didn’t believe that Long Xiang was lying. He thought there had to be some misunderstanding in that matter. When he was going to say something again, Qin Haodong suddenly opened his eyes, held the little fellow in his left hand, and pounded hard on the wall with his right hand.
That hegemonic punch was imbued with a spirit that could conquer mountains and rivers. Banier, the Thai boxing champion, was sitting aside. That scene made his pupils shrink sharply, and then his eyes lit up with fighting spirit.
When others did not know what was going on, the solid wall was knocked down halfway by Qin Haodong’s punch. With smoke and dust dispersed, the scene on the opposite end was clearly presented.
Afraid that Liu Yage might be found, the yellow-haired gangster bundled her up in a chair with a towel in her mouth and squatted beside her. He was shocked because he never dreamed that the wall would be knocked down.
Qin Haodong’s face turned cold when he saw Liu Yage. He strode across the gap, then ripped the towel in Liu Yage’s mouth and tore the rope on her body.
“It’s you! Doctor Qin, thank you, thank you so much!”
Liu Yage, who had already been desperate, saw hope again. She burst into sobs with tears dripping like falling pearls.
At this time, even if Qin Haodong did not speak, Long Haisheng could understand what was going on. No wonder Long Xiang said that the room was in renovation. There was a woman who had been kidnapped in it. He always thought his G.o.dson would not lie to him. However, his mouth was full of lies.
“Beast, get down on your knees right now!”
Long Haisheng slapped Long Xiang, leaving a bright red palm print on his face.
“G.o.dfather, I’m wrong. Please forgive me this time!”
The scandal was exposed. Long Xiang fell on his knees, beating his mouth and pretending to be pitiful.
Long Haisheng said angrily, “Tell me, what’s the matter? Didn’t you just say you knew nothing? How come there’s a woman here?”
“I… I…”
Long Xiang stuttered for a long time, but he could not say anything. Now it was impossible to lie, but he dared not tell the truth. He was afraid of being beaten to death by Long Haisheng.
Long Haisheng turned to Liu Yage and said, “This lady, can you tell me what’s going on?”
Liu Yage did not know Long Haisheng. She turned to Qin Haodong and asked for his advice.
Qin Haodong said, “Sister Liu, this is Brother Long Haisheng. You can tell the truth. He will deal with today’s matters fairly.”
Qing Haodong’s words were not only for Liu Yage, but also for Long Haisheng. Although Long Haisheng didn’t know what happened that day, Long Xiang was his man after all. He owed it to Liu Yage; otherwise Qing Haodong’s anger would not be pacified.
With Qin Haodong’s permission, Liu Yage wiped her tears and told how she borrowed money from Long Xiang to buy medicine for her child, how she was blackmailed when she repaid the money, and how Long Xiang took the opportunity to abduct her.
“You beast!”
Having heard the story, Long Haisheng burnt with anger and slapped Long Xiang in the heat of pa.s.sion.
Long Xiaobao also had leukemia. He was very aware of the hards.h.i.+ps that parents of a sick child endured. Moreover, Liu Yage was alone with his daughter. In the current case, Long Xiang did such a thing utterly devoid of conscience. That really got his blood up.
After more than a dozen slaps, Long Xiang’s face was swollen like a pig’s head. Long Haisheng was still angry. He turned to Dafei and said, “According to the rules, how should we deal with this situation?”
Dafei said respectfully, “According to the first item of the gang rules. Those who deceive the boss are to be thrown into the river with their four limbs broken. The sixth item of the gang rules says that those who abuse their power to bully the people and rape women will be killed.”
He was very clever. Although Long Xiang had committed towering crimes, he was still Long Haisheng’s G.o.dson. He did not express his opinions before he understood Long Haisheng’s meaning, but read out the rules according to the terms.
Long Haisheng said in a low voice, “Since there are rules, let’s finish him off according to the rules.”
Dafei sighed in his heart, knowing that Long Haisheng owed it to Qin Haodong. If Long Xiang provoked another person, he might have survived. Now it seemed that he must die.
He waved his hand. Two black-coated bodyguards came forward and took out a rope to tie up Long Xiang.
Long Xiang was completely panicked. He thought that Long Haisheng was just slapping him for a few times to show others. Who knew that he should act in accordance with the rules of the gang?
He hugged Long Haisheng’s leg and pleaded, “G.o.dfather, please don’t kill me. Forgive me this time. I promise I won’t do such a thing next time. Have you forgotten that I’m going to serve you in your old age?”
Long Haisheng kicked him away and said with disgust, “I thought you were an honest person, so I accepted you as my G.o.dson and entrusted you with the business of the gang. I didn’t expect that you would do such a harmful thing. Since you made mistakes, you should be punished.”
Long Xiang cried, “G.o.dfather, you can’t do this to me. Xiao Bao’s life won’t last long. I’ll be your son in the future…”
Long Haisheng said coldly, “Even if my own son did such an evil thing, I would punish him in accordance with the gang rules. Besides, Xiaobao’s disease has been cured by Brother Qin.”
“What? He’s cured?”
Long Xiang was shocked. No wonder Long Haisheng’s att.i.tude changed dramatically today. It turned out that the young man had already destroyed his prospects.
He still had no idea who Qin Haodong was. If he had known there was such a powerful character, he wouldn’t have dared to provoke Liu Yage, but now it was too late to regret.
Long Haisheng turned around and waved his hand. The two bodyguards immediately tied up Long Xiang and carried him out with his mouth gagged.
When everything was settled, he said to Qin Haodong, “I’m really sorry, Brother Qin, but I didn’t expect this little beast to do such a thing. He deserves more than death.”
Then he took out the cheque book and wrote a cheque for a million yuan and handed it to Liu Yage. “Sister, I’m sorry about this. You must accept this money as compensation.”
Things changed too fast, Liu Yage could not get used to it for a while. Just now she was desperate, thinking that she would be ruined by Long Xiang.
But after Qin Haodong appeared, he changed everything. First, he rescued her, then Long Haisheng punished the culprit Long Xiang according to the gang rules, and then he compensated her with one million yuan.
Taking a deep breath, she said, “Brother Long, things are over. I can’t accept the money.”
Long Haisheng said, “Sister, my son also had leukemia and was cured by Brother Qin. It’s not easy for you to look after your child on your own. You can take the money to cover household expenses.”
Qin Haodong followed and said, “The money is an expression of Brother Long’s good will. You should take it.”
With Qin Haodong’s encouragement, Liu Yage accepted the check.
The matter had been settled. Qin Haodong was about to leave with Liu Yage.
“Wait!”
At this time, a rough voice sounded, and everyone looked at the direction of the sound. It was Banier, the Thai boxing champion, who spoke so loudly.
He looked at Qin Haodong with burning eyes. “You’re good. I want to fight with you!”
