Chapter 299: Chapter 0299: You’re the One

"Don’t come any closer, if you do, I’ll jump down!"

Seeing people climbing towards the roof, Chen Shuang’er stood on the terrace and passionately shouted.

"Don’t let her fall."

Upon hearing this, Brother Huo quickly signalled his men to stop, "It wouldn’t be fun if she got hurt from the fall."

"Back off, back off, or I’ll jump!"

Chen Shuang’er pointed at a few thugs who wanted to approach her and shouted excitedly.

"Back off, everyone back off!"

Brother Huo was also afraid that Chen Shuang’er would really jump. If it had been any other stubborn holdout, dead is dead, but now he had taken a fancy to Chen Shuang’er and it would be a pity if she died before he got his hands on her.

And so, Chen Shuang’er was at a standoff with Brother Huo and his gang, using the threat of death to coerce them.

"Brother Huo, we can’t keep dragging this out, can we?"

After who knows how long, Scar Face mumbled in frustration.

"Then do you have a better idea?"

Brother Huo furrowed his brows as he looked at Chen Shuang’er and said through clenched teeth, "Anyways, I must get this little girl into bed tonight, otherwise I won’t be able to vent the fire inside me."

"Right, she has a younger sister. We can capture the sister first, then threaten her into submission."

A lightbulb went off in Scar Face’s mind, and he immediately thought of a solution.

"Good, you go capture the sister. I’ll watch her here!"

Brother Huo nodded repeatedly and warned, "Just don’t mess with the sister inside, I want to see what the sister looks like first."

"Understood, I wouldn’t dare to compete with Brother Huo for women!"

Scar Face grinned, thinking to himself with frustration:

"I was thinking of having a taste inside the house first, but he saw right through me. Brother Huo is too ruthless, he’s already set his sights on the older sister and still won’t let me touch the younger one."

Although dissatisfied, Scar Face still quickly headed towards the entrance of the little building.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing Scar Face heading to the door, Chen Shuang’er’s face changed drastically.

"I’m going to help you rescue someone!"

Scar Face grinned mischievously, "It’s going to be dangerous when they start breaking the house down. I’m going to get your sister out first to avoid her getting crushed to death inside."

"Bastard, don’t go into the house, don’t open the door!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuang’er yelled anxiously. Chen Fei’er’s illness couldn’t be exposed to light, and her body lacked immunity. She needed special protection when meeting outsiders. If Scar Face burst in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Shuang’er looked down anxiously, wanting to go downstairs to stop Scar Face, but the stairwell was already occupied by Brother Huo’s men. Unless she truly jumped off the building, there was no way she could get down.

"Hahaha, little girl, you’re not jumping anymore, are you!"

Seeing Chen Shuang’er’s anxious look, Brother Huo laughed happily, as this was exactly the response he wanted to see.

"I’ll make myself at home then!"

Scar Face ignored Chen Shuang’er and reached out to push the door.

"No, please no!"

Chen Shuang’er screamed in desperation.

"Get out of my way!"

Just as Scar Face was about to open the door, a furious roar suddenly sounded.

"Who?"

Scar Face turned his head in confusion, only to see a large foot growing larger and larger before his eyes until...

"Ah!"

With a scream of agony, Scar Face’s body was kicked away like a ball, flying five meters out.

After launching a spinning kick that sent Scar Face sprawling, Tang Ming landed steadily at the entrance of the small building, his gaze coldly fixed on Brother Huo.

"Ssshh!"

After getting a clear view of who had arrived, Brother Huo gasped in shock, his calves beginning to cramp. Why had this plague appeared again?

"Which son of a bitch dared to kick me? Tired of living, huh?"

Scar Face got up dizzily, cursing angrily.

"You’re the son of a bitch!"

Before Tang Ming could speak, Brother Huo rushed over to Scar Face’s side immediately, kicking him to the ground, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks.

Already dazed from the kick, Scar Face was now utterly baffled, screaming in pain while wondering why Brother Huo was suddenly beating him up.

Chen Shuang’er, upstairs, was also stunned, watching the somewhat familiar young man at the door with disbelief.

From her high vantage point, Chen Shuang’er had clearly seen Tang Ming’s spectacular spinning kick that sent Scar Face flying. Although she felt immense satisfaction, she was concerned Tang Ming would be outnumbered. Little had she expected that before Tang Ming even spoke, Brother Huo started to brutally beat Scar Face. What on earth had happened?

"Enough!"

Tang Ming called out softly, stopping Brother Huo from continuing the beating.

"This bastard deserves a beating, daring to curse at Brother Ming."

Brother Huo kicked Scar Face once more, then turned to Tang Ming with a fawning look. "Brother Ming, what brings you here?"

"I was about to ask you the same! Why do you keep seeking death in front of me? Have you never died before and want to try it out?"

Tang Ming looked at Brother Huo with disdain. "You behaved well before, so I didn’t strike hard. Do you think I’m easy to bully?"

Hearing Tang Ming’s words, Brother Huo’s face turned pale, and he knelt down with a thud. "Big brother, I really didn’t mean to trouble you intentionally, but I happen to run into you every time. I always end up in a miserable state, and I don’t want this. Please, have mercy on me," Brother Huo begged as he burst into tears. He genuinely felt wronged; every encounter with Tang Ming had ended badly for him. His luxury car was wrecked, he was robbed, sent to jail, force-traded—getting beaten up seemed to be the least of his worries.

Seeing Brother Huo kneeling and begging with tears, everyone was dumbfounded, especially his underlings, who promptly made their way downstairs, keeping their distance.

Realizing he had been kicked by Tang Ming, Scar Face quickly shut his eyes, pretending to faint, afraid of another attack.

"Big guys crying and sniveling, what kind of sight is that?"

Tang Ming hadn’t expected Brother Huo to act this way, and puzzledly thought to himself, "Have I really bullied him so harshly that I drove him insane?"

"I don’t want to either, but whatever I do, I end up offending Brother Ming. Every time, it ends very badly for me. I feel so wronged!"

Brother Huo cried pitifully.

"All right, I won’t beat you this time!"

Seeing Brother Huo like this, Tang Ming somewhat softened and waved his hand. "Don’t tell me you have amnesia? Chen Shuang’er is my girlfriend. Didn’t you remember taking your money last time? Are you brain-dead? Also, don’t appear in front of me anymore, and I won’t have to beat you again!"

"Yes, yes, I’ll do exactly as you say!"

As soon as Brother Huo heard Tang Ming say he wouldn’t beat him this time, he was overjoyed, scrambling to summon his men and leave. Before long, they had all run off.

But he felt wronged; he hadn’t paid attention to the female thief last time, and there were so many details to remember.

"Maybe after a few more times, he won’t dare to commit any more wrongdoing?"

Watching Brother Huo’s retreating figure, Tang Ming touched his chin uncertainly.

Even after Brother Huo and his crew had left, Chen Shuang’er was still trying to process what had happened. People living in the slums knew too well how brutal and domineering the demolition company’s people were. Yet, after Tang Ming appeared, Brother Huo, who had been so aggressive before, simply knelt down!
