Chapter 190: All talk and no bite
"Now that you know what we're after, how about you be good little lackeys and hand them over to us and leave it to the professionals." Even though the Lu and Liu family have a friendly relationship, it didn't mean that their workers had it. When they work together, the Liu family's force would usually act superior to the Lu family. Ergo, the case with Xu Qiao. To him, the Lu family's security squad is nothing more than a bunch of monkeys that can't do anything right. Kang Shuchun is a useless child, while Elder Wu is a senile old geezer.
Kang Shuchun's expression turns sharp as she glares at him down. Xu Qiao didn't shy away from her as he stared back.
While the two are having a stare down, the thugs want nothing more than to go with Xu Qiao. When the thugs heard Xu Qiao's words, they didn't need him to say anymore as they felt relieved! They would go with the two random strangers then stay there to be left with Kang Shuchun.
Ignoring the looks of salvation the thugs are having, Kang Shuchun wasn't planning to let them go at all.
Unlike what the thugs know, Kang Shuchun knows that the two will "deal" with the thugs the same way she has been doing. And they're much more vicious than her.
Also, even if she has extracted all the information they have, making them useless now, Kang Shuchun still couldn't let them leave. It will be a big slap to the Lu family's reputation if he takes them.
Handing the thugs over to Xu Qiao would mean that he's right and the Lu family is nothing more than a bunch of lackeys.
Kang Shuchun couldn't allow anybody to disrespect the Lu family's honor. Disrespecting it would mean it would be disrespecting her lover.
"Make me then." If Xu Qiao wants to take the thugs away from her, then he'll have to take them over her cold dead hands!
Xu Qiao shrugs his shoulders, "It seems that you Lu dogs don't know your place." His eyes turn fierce, "I'll be happy to make you learn your place!" He quickly dashes towards Kang Shuchun like a wild cheetah. And he swung his leg, aiming for her head!
"Hmpf!" Kang Shuchun quickly caught the leg like it's nothing. Her sense has been on high alert, waiting to see if Elder Wu would do something to her. A kick as forward as that could be seen from a mile away.
Xu Qiao's expression changes a bit. He didn't expect his kick would be caught so easily. With the amount of momentum he put into it, it would break Kang Shuchun's arm even if she tried to block it. Never did he expect Kang Shuchun to straight-up catch it.
"Heh, it seems that you actually have some skills. But don't think just because you caught my kick it makes you my equal." Without trying to get his leg out of her grasp, Xu Qiao strikes her with his fist.
But his punch is nothing more than a decoy! At the same time, Xu Qiao kicks with his other leg.
Hehe, take this, you lowly bitch. Learn your place. Xu Qiao just needed to wait for his kick to come into contact with Kang Shuchun's face, and this little charade would be over.
Contrary to his thoughts, his kick never did come into contact with her face. Like Xu Qiao thought, Kang Shuchun blocks his fist with her other hand.
The kick, on the other hand, was blocked using her elbows.
"Whaa-" Before Xu Qiao could grasp what had happened, Kang Shuchun quickly threw him against the wall.
"Argh!" Xu Qiao coughs up blood as he smashes on the wall. Never did he expect Kang Shuchun to be this strong. Strong enough to throw him like a speeding bullet. Luckily he only took minimal damage. Only blood drips from his mouth down to his hand.
Blood? Xu Qiao never shed any blood for the past five years against anybody. It's usually the other way around. But now, he's been had by Kang Shuchun nonetheless.
Rage and humiliation flow through his mind as he glares at Kang Shuchun. Seeing the expression on Xu Qiao, the only words that came out of her mouth are,
"All talk and no bite."
