Fuck it, let's do this! The three exchanged glances, their burning eyes meeting mid-air, then they nodded fiercely, with a fire in their bellies burning even hotter. No matter who you are, you're playing with us tonight! Looking at such a beautiful woman, the three were filled with lust. Their initial heavy-handed actions gradually lightened up, but they still pretended to be working hard for effect. Even though they wanted to have fun with this beauty, they couldn't forget Zhang Li behind them. They could only use this beaten woman once, but Zhang Li, they could use anytime. With that, they knew what to do. A kick landed on Lin Qingxue, sending her flying and finally hitting the ground hard, making her pretty face turn even paler. Looking at these three street youths, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. If only she had learned more from Hao Jian, at least she'd be able to beat these three men in front of her! Behind those three street youths, Zhang Li kept cheering them on, her words filled with various insults, which even made the surrounding onlookers uncomfortable. But seeing those three thuggish street youths, the crowd hesitated. Most of them were students from nearby schools, and they wouldn't dare to fight with such street youths even if given ten times the courage! Some who practiced martial arts might dare to rely on their skills to take on these street youths, but as they were about to rush in to stop it, one of the youths suddenly pulled out a switchblade from his pocket, the glittering knife revealing itself to the air. The appearance of this knife caused those wanting to help to hesitate and retreat. If those three didn't have weapons, they'd be unafraid, but once weapons appeared, who would dare charge in? What if they got stabbed?! Their parents spent so much money for them to attend university, not to let them lose their lives here. Even saving someone has to be within their means! Seeing that people backed off after he drew the knife, the street youth snorted disdainfully, then turned away, ignoring them. Those few were flushed with shame at being mocked by the street youth. As Lin Qingxue was being bullied by those street youths, Hao Jian happened to arrive at the street intersection. He should be only a few kilometers away from Hua City University, Lin Qingxue's school. But today he suddenly noticed a lot of noise coming from a pedestrian street to his right. Curious, he looked over and was taken aback. Just twenty meters away, a crowd had gathered, watching something with visible excitement, and from within came multiple screams. "Still early, shall I go check it out?" Curious, Hao Jian finally decided to take a look, drawing closer with piqued interest, the sounds inside growing clearer. "Isn't this one of those caught-cheating dramas?" Through the crowd, Hao Jian saw a dusty woman standing aside shouting incessantly. Her face was caked in thick makeup, making Hao Jian's stomach churn at first glance. "Even if she can't do makeup, shouldn't plastering her face with this much powder be overkill?! Does she think foundation is free?!" With a sarcastic thought, Hao Jian watched the ongoing scene with detachment. As those three street youths beat on Lin Qingxue, their backs were turned to Hao Jian, obscuring most of Lin Qingxue's body, so he didn't realize the woman being beaten was Lin Qingxue. He just assumed the woman on the ground being beaten was someone else's mistress. Otherwise, what was that woman standing by cheering on for? A few seconds later, perhaps the three were tired from beating and paused but intended to continue. At that moment, Lin Qingxue happened to turn her head, directing her gaze towards where Hao Jian stood. Seeing that all-too-familiar face, Hao Jian's expression changed instantly. Before he could think, he was already charging in, his roar echoing like thunder across the flat ground, startling everyone. "Damn it, hands off! How dare you touch my woman?!" Roaring and bellowing, Hao Jian rushed at the speed faster than sound, appearing behind the three street youths in the blink of an eye, hands resting on the shoulders of two of them. Like a God of Death, a bone-chilling voice emanated from him, "You all... deserve to die!" "Who the hell are you?! What do you want?!" The two street youths whose shoulders Hao Jian grasped still didn't know they had provoked the God of Death, turning their disgruntled faces with a fierce glare at Hao Jian, speaking with hostility. They had no idea how this man appeared behind them, but in such a moment, if someone dared to interrupt, weren't they courting death?! Did he treat their previous threats as nothing more than idle chatter?! At that moment, a young thug from society brandished a switchblade and thrust it straight towards Hao Jian's waist. If the blade landed, it would cause significant organ damage, if not death. "Heh, what am I doing?" Hao Jian didn't bother with the details, he suddenly exerted force with both hands, coldly snorted, and lifted the two men up. He then viciously hurled them towards an open ground. The two men were thrown by Hao Jian, crashing into several trees before they spat out blood and fell unconscious into a flowerbed. Judging by their condition, they had a ninety percent chance of losing their lives. "What... what did you do!?" Seeing his two brothers being thrown by this young man with his own eyes, the last thug was full of fear. Amidst his terror, he seized the moment Hao Jian spoke to draw his own knife, aiming it directly at Hao Jian's heart! "Yo, not afraid to die?" Hao Jian saw the direction of the knife clearly. Such a ruthless person, especially as he was the one who beat Lin Qingxue the hardest, deserved a lesson! With a swift move, Hao Jian smacked the thug's knife away, in the blink of an eye. The knife flew and embedded itself into the trunk of a small tree a meter away! While the thug was in shock, Hao Jian's figure suddenly crouched, then sneered and punched out, unleashing a furious force into the thug's abdomen. Time seemed to stand still, and then in an instant, his figure was flung backward at an alarming speed! The thug crashed through numerous plants in flowerbeds, his body full of injuries, and finally slammed into a nearby wall. The force Hao Jian exerted on him left a slight dent on the wall. A mouthful of blood mixed with unknown substances sprayed from the thug's mouth. With fear in his eyes, he forcibly fainted. Due to the large crowd gathered around, Hao Jian couldn't conveniently kill them. But while he might spare them from death, they wouldn't escape punishment. Moreover, whether these three would live or die depended on their luck. Hao Jian couldn't act now, nor would he act in the future. However, when Spice Ginger and the others heard about Lin Qingxue being beaten, these three thugs might very well turn up as corpses floating in the sea someday? "K-kid... you... you actually beat our big brother ?!" The first two who were thrown by Hao Jian had not lost consciousness. Instead, they struggled to their feet, their bodies resisting the crash that had taken out several trees but provided some cushion, so at least they could still stand. Unlike their so-called big brother, who was directly beaten by Hao Jian, bleeding and now in an unknown state of life or death. But Hao Jian didn't care about these two little grasshoppers jumping around, even completely ignoring them. Not killing them was his mercy. If they did not take the hint, they would have to realize what true terror meant. "Qingxue, are you alright?" After dealing with the three, Hao Jian quickly stepped forward, approaching Lin Qingxue. Seeing her covered in bruises, looking pitiful, his heart ached immensely, and amidst the heartache was an overwhelming anger. When had his woman ever been beaten ?! "Hao Jian... Hao Jian..." Upon seeing Hao Jian arrive, the injured Lin Qingxue disregarded everything and jumped into Hao Jian's embrace, crying out loud with a sorrowful wail. "There, there, Qingxue, don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what happened?" Hao Jian gently patted Lin Qingxue's back with his hand, as a faint blue glow subtly flowed from his palm into her body, checking her condition. Upon this examination, Hao Jian sighed in relief, thankful that the injuries were superficial, with no severe internal harm, though she would need some time to recover. "Hao Jian... you have to help me!" With Hao Jian present, Lin Qingxue felt an infinite sense of security. Once Hao Jian arrived, she let go of all her defenses and recounted everything that had happened to him. Hao Jian held her, listening quietly to her story…
