"If you don't pay back the money, we'll take your daughter as payment!"
No, no!
After a series of sounds of things being smashed, jars breaking, and glass shattering, a burly man emerged from the house. He had a shaved head, tattoos on his arms, and looked menacing.
At that moment, he was holding a woman in his hand. The woman struggled desperately, but she was no match for the strong man and was almost dragged off the ground.
It was Li Jing!
"Hey, keep struggling, see if you can escape." The bald, burly man grinned lewdly. After leaving the house, he lifted the woman's chin and said, "You little bitch, you're pretty good-looking. Come with us."
The woman, fighting back tears, spat and said, "You'll get your comeuppance!"
"Retribution? Your husband's dead, so of course you and your daughter should pay off his debts!" The bald, burly man laughed loudly, then grunted and ordered his men, "Go in and grab that girl!"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the woman's hair and leave.
Bang! Bang!
Just then, two muffled thuds echoed down the corridor, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground.
The bald, burly man looked ahead and immediately raised an eyebrow. He saw a guy who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere knock down his two henchmen, whom he had placed at the bottom of the stairs, with a single elbow strike.
"Let her go!"
After dealing with the two henchmen on the stairs, Gu Chen turned to look at the bald, burly man. At that moment, his aura was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed! And his eyes, like a venomous snake in the jungle, flashed with a cold, sinister light.
Gu Chen came here to check on Qianqian's condition. He hadn't been able to visit his newly accepted disciple for a long time because of the Shennong Grass incident.
Moreover, since we helped remove some of the cold from Qianqian's body last time, we haven't had a chance to check on her current condition.
Gu Chen could have come during the day, but having just seen his father and Zhao Bo off, Gu Chen decided to come now instead.
As soon as Gu Chen stepped onto the stairs, he heard a commotion and then saw this scene.
Instantly, he was filled with rage!
He knew that if he hadn't happened to be there, who knew what terrible thing would have happened today!
"Where did this brat come from!"
The bald, burly man's fierce aura was revealed as he coldly said, "How dare you interfere in Brother Ba's affairs?"
However, while they were talking, Li Jing, who was being held in his hand, took the opportunity to open her pearly teeth and bite his arm hard.
"Ouch--Damn it, you bitch!" The bald, burly man winced in pain and, in a fit of rage, slapped the woman across the face. The woman couldn't withstand the blow and slammed her back against the wall, falling to the ground.
Li Jing also saw Gu Chen, and her face immediately lit up with hope. Ignoring her own pain, she quickly raised her head and shouted, "Quick, call the police!"
"Would calling the police do any good?" Brother Ba clutched his arm, where a clear teeth mark was still bleeding. The thought of being injured by a woman filled him with rage, and he kicked Li Jing in the stomach!
The woman screamed in agony, drenched in cold sweat, unable to straighten her back.
Brother Ba scoffed, "You filthy bitch, take you and your daughter back, we'll deal with you slowly..."
However, Brother Ba couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence because he suddenly felt a chilling killing intent surging in from all directions, completely enveloping him!
Turning his head, he saw Gu Chen with bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth!
Although he was startled, the domineering Brother Ba was used to lording it over others, didn't take Gu Chen seriously at all. He yelled, "Kid, if you glare at me again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
"You're courting death!"
Gu Chen spoke each word clearly and deliberately, then charged towards Brother Ba!
Seeing that he was about to make a move, three burly men at the door surrounded him and stopped him.
"Cripple him!"
Upon hearing Brother Ba's order, the three looked at Gu Chen as if he were already dead, but just as they were about to make their move, Gu Chen had already arrived! And his movements were faster than theirs!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
No one saw how Gu Chen made his move. He seemed to be standing still, and the three henchmen stumbled back a few steps. Then, their bodies stiffened, and they slowly fell backward!
At the same time, their faces were revealed, as if they had been crushed by a heavy object, their flesh mangled and bloody!
Gu Chen threw three punches, each landing squarely on the face!
And the power of each of his punches was astonishing!
If it weren't for the fact that they were ordinary people, Gu Chen probably would have killed them on the spot!
"This..."
Brother Ba was utterly shocked. Everything had happened too fast. While he was still checking his wounds, Gu Chen had already completely subdued his men!
What... what kind of monster is this?
Seeing Gu Chen walking towards him, Brother Ba felt a surge of fear. He forced himself to speak, "I am from the Xiang Family..." But before he could finish speaking, Gu Chen grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall like a chicken!
Snap!
Brother Ba felt like his nose was about to be broken, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose!
Gu Chen grabbed his head and slammed it against the ground three times before finally setting his body down and staring down at him.
"You, you're dead!" Brother Ba slurred, but still spoke fiercely, "I'm from the Xiang Family, you dare... you dare meddle in our business, or we'll kill your whole family!"
"Kill my whole family?" Gu Chen's brows were filled with murderous intent. He turned around, looked at the woman, and said, "Sister Jing, which hand did he use to grab you just now?"
Li Jing was watching with satisfaction from the ground when she heard Gu Chen's words and was taken aback.
Before receiving a reply, Gu Chen turned around and quickly grabbed Brother Ba's arms. With a snap, Brother Ba's arms were broken off by Gu Chen and dislocated!
"Ahhh--"
Brother Ba let out a pig-like scream; judging from his expression, he was in excruciating pain.
"Sister Jing, which foot did he use to kick him?" Gu Chen, his voice filled with murderous intent as he looked at Brother Ba.
Brother Ba rolled on the ground, terrified by those words. Looking into Gu Chen's grim eyes, he knew this man would cripple his legs just as easily as he had broken his hands!
So, enduring the excruciating pain, he spoke first, before Li Jing could, "Zuo..."
Before he could even utter the word "leg," Gu Chen's foot landed unexpectedly on his left knee and ground down hard! Instantly, Brother Ba's body jolted, and the next second he let out an even more shrill scream. His kneecap had been cracked by Gu Chen's foot, and the pain almost made him faint!
