Chapter 387 - 387 387 He Must Be Punished

387: Chapter 387 He Must Be Punished 387: Chapter 387 He Must Be Punished Zhong Qin knew just how dependent she was on Xiang Yu, a dependency that even surpassed that of her father.

She hadn’t seen her father for months, and her heart had gradually become accustomed to his absence.

But Xiang Yu had gradually entered her heart, and seeing him every day made her feel at ease.

Sometimes, when she saw Xiang Yu with Long Wu, she would feel a twinge of pain, but she didn’t show it and remained cheerful every day.

Today was supposed to be the happiest day for her because her father had returned, and it was Xiang Yu who had rescued him.

Xiang Yu had promised to find her father within ten days, and he had kept his word.

So, when she first saw her father, her first thought was to tell him about Xiang Yu so that her father could reward him.

She knew her father cherished her and was certain he would give a generous reward to someone who had taken such good care of her.

She hoped to see a happy expression on Xiang Yu’s face; being able to do something within her power for Xiang Yu made her feel blissful.

Alone in the small office, she speculated about how her father would reward Xiang Yu.

After waiting for a while, she felt that something was off outside, so she walked out.

What she saw left her completely dumbfounded.

Zhong Huashan, too, had neglected his daughter, otherwise, he would have arranged for Zhong Qin to be sent back before dealing with the situation.

Now, seeing Zhong Qin clinging to Xiang Yu, Zhong Huashan suddenly felt a burst of anger, as if his daughter had been snatched away from him.

“Zhong Qin, stop it.

Go back to your room,” Xiang Yu said, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw Zhong Qin come out.

With Zhong Qin there, he was curious to see how Zhong Huashan would handle him.

When Xiang Yu told Zhong Qin to go back, it was more of a token gesture; he didn’t really intend for her to leave.

At that moment, Zhong Qin cooperated with Xiang Yu and began to cry on his back.

“I won’t let anyone hurt you.

If someone tries to hurt you, I’ll kill them,” Zhong Qin sobbed.

The few hefty men standing by Xiang Yu were stunned when they saw the young miss emerge, gaping at Zhong Huashan.

They could glare furiously at Xiang Yu and even chop at his arm, but they dared not to do anything to the young miss.

“Xiao Qin, it’s none of your business, step aside,” said Zhong Huashan as he stepped forward to pull Zhong Qin up.

“No way.

You promised to reward Xiang Yu.

Is this the reward you’re giving him?” Zhong Qin cried.

Despite being seen as a big boss and elder brother in the eyes of outsiders, in front of Zhong Qin, Zhong Huashan completely lacked any imposing presence.

“Listen to me,” Zhong Huashan said, pulling on Zhong Qin’s arm, somewhat helplessly.

“I won’t listen,” Zhong Qin flatly ignored her father.

“Xiao Qin, get up,” Zhong Huashan suddenly said sternly.

Zhong Qin could tell that her father was now angry, but she didn’t care.

What mattered to her was protecting Xiang Yu.

Zhong Qin’s actions thoroughly infuriated Zhong Huashan.

It was one thing for his daughter to act spoiled around him; he could accept that, but today was different.

Today, all his men were present, as well as Xiang Yu’s group.

Her behavior was causing him to lose face.

His own daughter was not listening to him and was clinging to someone else.

What a disgrace.

“Somebody, pull the young miss away and take her home,” Zhong Huashan said, frustrated.

At this moment, the two brawny men who stood beside Zhong Qin were uncertain of what to do.

The boss had ordered them to act, and they had to obey, but the target was the boss’s beloved daughter, and the slightest misstep could lead to their beheading.

“Didn’t you two hear me?

Hurry up and take the young miss home,” Zhong Huashan said with anger plastered across his face.

Now that Zhong Qin had thoroughly disgraced him, all he could do was to send her away quickly, without harming her.

Seeing the boss’s rage, the brawny men promptly grasped Zhong Qin by the arms, one on each side, and began to drag her towards the back exit.

At this time, Zhong Qin’s crying grew even more fierce.

She struggled desperately, but the strength of the two strong men was too great.

Even Han Feng couldn’t break free, let alone her.

“Please don’t hurt Xiang Yu, I beg you,” pleaded Zhong Qin as she was being dragged away, still screaming at the top of her voice, which had turned hoarse, showing just how deep her feelings for Xiang Yu were.

“If any of you kills Xiang Yu, I will hate you for the rest of my life…” Zhong Qin left behind this sentence before being forcibly taken away.

After Zhong Qin left, the place fell silent, except for Zhong Huashan, who stood there clenching his teeth in fury.

If Zhong Qin had not shown up just now, a massive fight would likely have been unavoidable.

Now, everyone’s eyes were on Zhong Huashan, whose words could decide many people’s fates that night.

At this moment, the group, including Tie Zhuzi, stood there in a daze, understanding the gravity of the situation and refraining from any rash actions.

“Xiang Yu, you have done the young miss a good turn, and that’s plain for all to see.

Since she pleaded for you today, I will let you go.

But since you’ve made a mistake, you must be punished, and that will not change,” Zhong Huashan said, giving a meaningful glance to the other two brawny men.

The two men caught on and then tossed aside their knives, walking over to deal with Xiang Yu.

Though Tie Zhuzi and the others were furious and itched to slaughter Zhong Huashan, they restrained themselves because Xiang Yu’s eyes said it all.

Xiang Yu would not allow them to act rashly.

By now, Han Feng and Yuan Huai had also been subdued by Xiang Yu’s demeanor, and they ceased causing trouble.

As the situation had escalated due to Han Feng, he did not want to create more trouble.

One of the strong men stepped forward and kicked Xiang Yu away with great force.

Xiang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood from the kick.

The bystanders were all shocked at Xiang Yu’s reaction.

The brawny man’s kick was hard but shouldn’t have been able to make Xiang Yu spit blood with just a single blow.

Xiang Yu was notorious for his resilience, so what was happening today?

The man who delivered the kick was also taken aback.

He looked at his foot doubtfully, wondering if he had unknowingly increased the power of his kick.

With that thought in mind, he approached Xiang Yu again and continued to test his strength.

Now, Xiang Yu had become his human punching bag, as he kicked him repeatedly while Xiang Yu just curled up there without uttering a sound.

Others might not have known what was wrong with Xiang Yu, but his brothers behind him knew.

Xiang Yu had only recently regained consciousness, still harboring severe injuries within his body.

Now being brutally beaten by two men, it was questionable if he could sustain this onslaught.

His companions’ eyes turned red as they watched their leader being kicked around at the feet of another, their hearts wrenching with pain.

They wished it was them being beaten instead.

They would have preferred to rush forward and be shot in a chaotic firefight, which would be far better than helplessly watching Xiang Yu being bullied.

But Xiang Yu would not permit them to do so.

They were not yet strong enough to resist Zhong Huashan.

When under someone’s roof, one must bow their head, and now Xiang Yu would rather take the beating himself to ensure that his brothers were not harmed…
