Bang!
Under Tian Lingli's stunned gaze, Zhao Hui kicked Li Chonglou in the stomach.
But Li Chonglou's thin frame didn't budge.
Instead, the tall and burly Zhao Hui felt as if he had kicked an iron wall. His face changed drastically, and he staggered back five or six steps.
With a clang, he crashed into a table, finally stopping his retreat.
The bowls and plates on the table were shaken and flew up, shattering on the floor.
Zhao Hui's blood churned, his face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with horror.
Pointing at Li Chonglou, he exclaimed, "Impossible... I've been trained, what's going on with you?"
He had been lawless since childhood, sent to a martial arts school in junior high and studying for six years.
After getting into university, he became the president of the Sanda club, dominating the area.
In the years since returning to Shuyu, relying on his father's influence and his own strength, he had subdued all the small punks on the streets.
He was now the undisputed kingpin of Shuyu.
He had expected to cripple Li Chonglou with this kick, but instead, he was the one who made a fool of himself.
In front of so many classmates, he was both enraged and embarrassed.
"Apologize," Li Chonglou said calmly, hands behind his back, walking towards him. His voice was placid.
His imposing aura exploded in an instant, making his seemingly thin frame emanate a heart-pounding presence compared to Zhao Hui.
Tian Lingli and Zhou Yacheng couldn't hide their shock.
They knew Li Chonglou was formidable, but only in terms of his eyesight.
They never expected his martial arts skills to be so powerful!
"Brother, beat this bastard to death," Zhou Yacheng's shock turned to joy, and he shouted, eager to see chaos ensue.
"You dare touch Young Master Zhao, you little bastard is seeking death!" Zhao Hui's henchmen, seeing the situation turn bad, immediately flipped the table and rushed forward to fight Li Chonglou.
Alas, how could these insignificant underlings be Li Chonglou's match?
In the past few months, Li Chonglou had encountered many formidable opponents.
Such as Shen Yishou, Li Hanlong of Yong'an, Song Yi and Chen Rong of Zhonghai, and even a powerful figure like Tian Shan.
His strength was inferior to theirs, leaving him constantly constrained and facing death multiple times.
But when facing an ordinary person like Zhao Hui, the situation was completely different.
Li Chonglou wasn't even interested in giving these goons a second glance. He swept out a leg.
Crack!
The solid wood board in front of him split apart under his foot like tofu scraps, shooting out in a fan-shaped spray.
Bang bang bang...
Then came a continuous rain of impacts accompanied by groans.
Zhao Hui's henchmen fell to the ground, knocking over more cups and bowls.
This scene made everyone in the hall widen their eyes.
Huang Jian gasped, "Hiss... a martial arts master..."
"Zhao Hui is going to suffer a big loss today."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
In this small place like Shuyu County, where everyone knew everyone, he was always suppressed by Zhao Hui, who showed no regard for their classmate relationship.
He had harbored deep resentment for a long time, but unfortunately, in terms of wealth and power, he was far inferior to Zhao Hui and dared not speak out.
Now, seeing him and his subordinates being beaten brought him immense satisfaction.
He was far from the only one with this thought.
"You... don't come near me..." Zhao Hui's eyes bulged, unable to believe what he was seeing. As Li Chonglou approached, his face drained of all color, turning pale.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, unsure if it was from pain or fear.
Mustering his courage, he threatened with feigned ferocity, "My dad is the second-in-command in Shuyu County. If you dare to hit me, do you believe I'll make you wish you were dead?"
"And that bitch Tian Lingli, your family is from Shuyu. If I lose half a hair today, I'll make sure your parents can't even live in peace."
At this moment, Zhao Hui showed none of his former arrogance as the local boss.
He was a complete spineless sycophant clinging to power.
Many classmates showed contempt, secretly siding with Li Chonglou.
Apart from his henchmen groaning on the floor, no one else spoke up for him.
"Apologize, this is the third reminder," Li Chonglou ignored him, still walking up to him.
"Go to hell..." Zhao Hui's eyes turned fierce, and he kicked out.
Crack!
Li Chonglou's eyes turned cold. His foot moved like lightning, arriving first and stomping directly on Zhao Hui's leg.
A bone-cracking sound that made the scalp tingle erupted, accompanied by Zhao Hui's ghastly screams that filled the entire private room.
Fortunately, the soundproofing of the private room was good, and the food had been served in advance, so no waiters were inside.
Otherwise, this situation would have surely terrified the hotel management.
"Li Chonglou..." Tian Lingli's face was filled with panic. She wasn't worried about Zhao Hui, but about his retaliation against her parents.
As soon as she spoke, she was glared back by Li Chonglou's icy gaze.
"I apologize... I apologize, let me go, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." In the next second, Zhao Hui's voice distorted, tears streaming down his face as he begged, "Spare me, I promise I won't trouble you again."
"And I won't dare to harass Tian Lingli anymore... Please..."
He never expected his assistant, Tian Lingli, to hate him to this extent.
She was clearly not an assistant, but most likely a bodyguard.
On his own turf, his leg had been broken. If he didn't yield now, he would suffer greatly.
He was arrogant, but not stupid.
His only option now was to beg for mercy. Once he left here, he would have someone kill this bastard named Li Chonglou.
Admittedly, his performance was very convincing, revealing the cowardice hidden deep within him, which could fool most people.
But the trace of undetected fierceness in his eyes could not deceive Li Chonglou.
Slap!
Zhou Yacheng stepped forward and slapped Zhao Hui hard across the face, "This slap is for Lili."
Slap!
He then slapped him on the other side, "This slap is my reward for you."
Zhao Hui's cheeks on both sides became visibly red and swollen.
His feigned timidity was replaced by intense hatred. Seeing Li Chonglou remain silent, he gritted his teeth and roared, "You guys wait for me. Either kill me today, or I'll make your lives a living hell!"
"I'll have my dad kill all of you bastards..."
"Your dad is the second-in-command of Shuyu County," Li Chonglou released his foot and slowly crouched in front of Zhao Hui, asking unhurriedly, "Has he been law-abiding his entire life, or has he been corrupt and accepted bribes?"
"Looking at the demeanor of your son, he's probably not much better."
"I'll give you a chance. Call your dad now and have him come pick you up."
"Let me see how he makes our lives a living hell."
Hiss...
These words made everyone in the private room gasp.
This fellow named Li Chonglou was too audacious. Beating Zhao Hui in Shuyu County was one thing.
He even threatened to have his father come pick him up.
This...
Was he utterly arrogant and lawless, or simply insane?
"Li Chonglou, that's enough, let's go quickly, or we really won't be able to leave," Tian Lingli's beautiful eyes were filled with焦色, and she was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead.
She was from Shuyu, how could she not know the influence of Zhao Hui's father?
Li Chonglou's actions were no different from sending a lamb into a tiger's mouth.
"If the roots are not removed, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze," Li Chonglou said to her faintly, stunning the entire venue.
Not only did he beat people, but he also wanted to eradicate them completely.
This person was crazy, completely insane!
