THE FINEST FEMALE BOSSHeDong City is a millennial city. Many years of government cultural heritage protection enabled HeDong City to become a graceful and quiet environment, well suited for recuperation and rest.
In the evening Xu Yun, just as in the past, went for a stroll. He wore a sleeveless shirt with a print of a beautiful woman and some bright-colored beach shorts; underfoot he wore flip flops. His entire outfit was worth at most 30 Yuan. As he was walking, he hummed plagiarized lyrics from some unknown song.
“A graceful lady, first let’s enjoy this hot chick’s curves.”
“Yo this slender waist, oooo weee…” Xu Yun continued humming his tune. Suddenly straight ahead center, a waist was waving to and fro. The walkway led to the swinging rear of an exceptionally alluring female. After bitterly suffering under a tyrant boss for 3 years, this was a huge difference.
Tsk tsk tsk. Since coming to this run-down area for walks for 10+ days, at last a fine girl arrived.
Following this for 10+ meters, Xu Yun gradually lost interest, because he discovered another one standing in front of a bar, not to leave but to light a cigarette…
Xu Yun doesn’t need to ask and can guess the answer of what profession that girl is engaged in. d.a.m.n, waste of time.
Just when Xu Yun prepared to seek the next target, suddenly at the side of his ear came a charming sound.
“What did you come back for?”
A girl’s tender voice complained, like a jade pearl falling in a plate. It was melodious and pleasing, full of a unique kind of lingering charm.
Xu Yun turned his head and gazed towards the direction of the voice, and not seeing anyone, he was indifferent. One look lower and Xu Yun was nearly struck dumb and froze.
A willow-thin waist, small but perky b.u.t.t, and a high ponytail carelessly tied up came into full view.
With her fair, clear skin and alluring red lips, her 5 delicate facial features were flooded with worry. Her breathing was lethargic, but her eyes were still beautiful. No matter from which angle her features were judged so long as it wasn’t too far away, she would definitely be worthy of being rated as a woman of the highest quality.
Only at this moment that apex quality woman seemed to be somewhat troubled. On her right side stood a 25-6 year old, with the head of a buck and eyes of a rat. Furthermore, a few big and tall, tattooed men on the left and right sides created a tight encirclement.
Xu Yun didn’t like to meddle, and without a doubt that finest quality woman was no exception. Instantly he took a step forward and walked past her.
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please save me! Right now only you can save me…” With his low eyebrows and rat eyes, his whole expression appeared to be wailing. Begging urgently he almost kneeled on the ground to the beauty.
“I am not your sister-in-law, and have no money to give you to continue gambling. Immediately leave or I’ll call the police!” The beauty’s face was so angry it was discolored.
Once this was said, the bystanders in the crowd let out a burst of whispered discussions.
The young man seemed to already know she would call the police. His face became completely earnest and continued begging: “Nooo sister-in-law, you can’t watch me die and not save me! Just this one time, last time, save me, come on…”
This beauty wasn’t at all moved. She flung off the young man’s hand and scolded: “I beg of you to never come back and bother me again. The next time I help you again with your gambling debt, both of us will be cleaned out! You said it yourself!”
“Last time, sister-in-law, help me one more time!” The young man’s face was flushed red with anger – the girl in front of him had no intention to yield. Immediately his imploring expression suddenly changed and he gloomily got up. He threatened: “Alright. You see me desperate and don’t help huh? Then I ‘ll tell my big brother about your business here in HeDong City!!
“You, you’re shameless!” The tender, smart beauty was so angry that she nearly fainted. The last two times he came to demand money to gamble with he also used this threat. This time he used it again.
“Ai, this good girl’s life is really full of hardship eh.” Some old man in the crowd sighed.
“Who said it wasn’t? He has done this 3 times. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is really something. Ugh! This matter forces me to endure it, let’s see if I can’t put him to death!” An indignant random woman shouted loudly.
“Auntie, why don’t you do just that? Go ahead and give him h.e.l.l!” A bald bystander on the road said.
That woman turned pale and glanced about. In a small whisper she said: “Just pretend I was stupid okay? To teach that b.a.s.t.a.r.d a lesson, the aftermath is to get mixed up with the Underworld. Do you dare provoke these types of people?”
The crowd’s many comments were numerous. Xu Yun squeezed into the center of the tightly packed crowd and little by little followed learned from start to finish what the situation was.
That beauty called Ruan QingShuang opened a panacea food restaurant*. In peaceful times she would depend on operating this panacea food restaurant to make a living. She had a brother-in-law, exactly this shifty-eyed, crooked-looking Lu Bao, who was desperately addicted to gambling everyday. When he lost it all he would run to Ruan QingShuang to demand more money. Bitterly begging was fruitless, as long as he threatened to tell his brother in the countryside her whereabouts. He succeeded time after time.
TN: Actual text is a medicinal meal restaurant, but that sounds like Robitussin on steak so I chose a Greek word meaning “all-curing”, since presumably such a restaurant would have a response for many ailments. Essentially it serves foods that are good for you, but not just healthy also with medicinal properties.
“Sister-in-law, how about thinking it over again? Or I can give my big brother a call, I bet he’ll happily run over here looking for you…” Lu Bao, this small man intoxicated by success said.
Ruan QingShuang bit her lip, her beautiful face devoid of color. Her pretty eyes squeezed tears out.
Just then, from the throngs of people suddenly a voice called out: “How much money do you want, I’ll give it to you instead of her!”
Just as the voice reached everyone’s ears, the numerous bystanders near Xu Yun made a path for him, fearful that they would mistaken for the one who called out.
Xu Yun didn’t care in the slightest – smiling handsomely at Lu Bao, he walked over and as he did, he checked the expressions of the crowd. Every one of them had idiotic expressions as they gazed blankly at Xu Yun.
When Ruan QingShuang heard someone wanted to pay in place of her, she was alarmed and puzzled, yet felt just a bit touched. It wasn’t because money could shut Lu Bao up, but because he threatened her 3 times and no one from the crowd came out and said anything about Lu Bao’s injustice.
Lu Bao long ago already went crazy to get some money to gamble with. Now that he saw someone was willing to give money in place of Ruan QingShuang, he immediately turned and went over. “You, you want to give money in place of sister-in-law?”
Xu Yun snapped his fingers and said: “You didn’t mishear. Say it, how much do you want?”
“Not much, not much! Twenty thousand is enough, twenty thousand!” Lu Bao didn’t think about it much. With Xu Yun’s outfit, how much money could he possibly have? At this moment his brains were only full of money.
“Only 20,000?” Xu Yun made an expression like it wasn’t much.
Lu Bao looked and his eyes shone, quickly he said: “Umm, not right, not right, 50,000, 50,000 is enough!”
“50,000? Not quite there, I’m guessing it’s not enough right… How about I give you 100,000?” Xu Yun laughed.
“Ah? Really?” Lu Bao was shocked for an instant, and then an ingratiating smile spread across his face. The sh’thead dashed to Xu Yun. As he moved he said: “About the money, talk later sister-in-law, now I have you heh…”
“You…” Ruan QingShuang was so angry she was shaking from head to foot but she could say nothing.
“What are you talking about? Don’t need your money anymore.” Xu Yun smiled handsomely.
Once Lu Bao heard that, suddenly he felt that with the phrase just now, the number was too small. His face was covered in smiles and he went to Xu Yun and changed his tone saying: “Brother that’s really f’cken generous, hehe, from now on you are my blood brother…”
“Mister, let’s declare brotherhood, how does that sound?” (Lu Bao)
“Good, great!”
“Don’t give him money!” Ruan QingShuang shouted with all her might towards Xu Yun’s direction.
Xu Yun smiled and to Ruan QingShuang he threw her a rea.s.suring glance. Then he smiled handsomely and rubbed his hands together: “Alright!”
“Huh?” Lu Bao felt uncertain – he hadn’t seen if Xu Yun had any indications of the money. Then where was the money?
Taking advantage of the momentarily confused Lu Bao, Xu Yun brandished and wound up his palm and ferociously slapped towards Lu Bao’s face.
Pah!!!
A sound, loud and clear suddenly exploded.
Lu Bao simply hadn’t reacted at all, and only felt a tremendous power smashing his face. His body trembled uncontrollably before that enormous power. One swing blasted him spinning sideways.
Seeing this scene, the crowd couldn’t help touching their cheeks thinking of the pain of that slap.
Ruthless! Truly ruthless! Really f’cken ruthless!
The other people were all stunned by Xu Yun’s earth-shattering swing, even all of the big and muscular tattooed men were stupefied. One slap made a 110+ lbs man fly. How much strength did that need?
Besides Xu Yun, the only other person still sober was Ruan QingShuang. It wasn’t that she was exceptionally calm, it was because she had only just recovered from her anger at Lu Bao’s detestable behavior. Seeing the scene right before her eyes of how Lu Bao was thrashed flying, she thought she was having a nice dream. She didn’t treat it like it was real.
“Your face really isn’t any ordinary f’cken thickness… Took your daddy’s smack and now my hand’s all tingly.” Xu Yun said a fleeting thought, and like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain to play, in one leap like a pounce, he arrived in front of Lu Bao. He reached out and grabbed Lu Bao’s arm. Immediately he suddenly applied strength and threw.
With a thump, Lu Bao stiffened in midair and directly crashed to the ground. He was confused, and inside his stomach acid churned and came straight out.
“50,000 slaps still falls short eh?”
“No…No thanks, I don’t want that…” Lu Bao snapped back to his senses after one slap. He hurriedly waved both hands and yelled.
“This is no good. Earlier as your big brother I promised you so I’m giving it to you now. You don’t want it though, then that means you don’t want to give your big brother face!” Xu Yun said.
“Huh? Nonono….” Lu Bao was nearly scared sh’tless. With great effort he struggled back up.
Xu Yun wasn’t in the mood to say much else. He grabbed Lu Bao’s collar, lifting him up as though he was a baby chick and lifted his leg.
With a ‘thump’ sound, Lu Bao gave a blood curdling scream like the sound of artillery. Instantly the crowd of bystanders wanted to flee.
*~Wump ~Thump*… With an oppressive thumping sound, Lu Bao tumbled about, his face covered with wounds. His body lay unmoving at that place along the street, unclear if he was alive or dead.
“You can’t even take this little of a beating. Boring!” Towards the ground Xu Yun shook his head and said with a sour expression.
The crowd of bystanders heard this sentence and felt a chill.
Ruan QingShuang saw Lu Bao blasted into the air with a kick – she was frightened and delighted to the extent that, she even felt a shred of hope for freedom.
Thinking back to those years that her father agreed to this absurd marriage – not only did her family members not help her, but they even kept her under watch to prevent her from running away. Remembering those years of toiling, constantly on the move to evade the marriage, and how her family said they wanted to break all ties over the phone. Thinking of how lately Lu Bao threatened her time after time, and how the surrounding people watched with indifference without a single one coming out and standing up against the injustice towards her… At that moment she couldn’t control her feelings, and tears quietly slid from her eyes.
