Chapter 43: A Slap in the Face
voice."They are still on the road. I’m following them; there are two cars protecting them, so I can’t get too close… " The voice suddenly changed over the phone. "Oh no, Young Master Ye, they’ve enter...Chapter 1: Big and Small Beauties
It was past ten at night, the peak time for Night Angel's customers. Those who came here to spend money were considered successful in Jianghai City; either they had money or some power. These people were mostly well-informed, so they knew exactly who Gao Mingyang was.
Hence, when Xia Tian shouted that question, everyone was shocked. How dare someone ask how Gao Mingyang wanted to die Although they had just seen Xia Tian beat up dozens of security guards by himself and leave them crippled on the floor with injuries everywhere, they still didn't believe he could match up against Gao Mingyang.
Who was Gao Mingyang The top four young masters in Jianghai City, a powerful figure in both legal and illegal circles. As for this kid, nobody recognized him. Since no one knew who he was, it clearly meant that he wasn't some important person. How could such people be compared
If Xia Tian had known these people's thoughts, he would have agreed. That’s right! How could Gao Mingyang and him even be mentioned in the same breath
The first floor of Night Angel was currently silent; someone had even turned off the music. Everyone was watching Gao Mingyang to see how he would react.
"Xia Tian, what do you want" Gao Mingyang asked calmly, his tone surprisingly calm, which surprised everyone. This wasn’t the reaction they expected from Master Gao; shouldn't a group of black-clothed big men appear and beat up this impudent youngster before throwing him out
"There are only two fates for people who have designs on my wife." Xia Tian hugged Sun Xinxin, "One is death, the other is becoming a eunuch. But, since I'm in a bad mood tonight, I don't plan to give you a choice; I’ve already made the decision for you: to become dead."
Xia Tian's casual demeanor didn’t match his words.
"Xia Tian, do you want to kill me" Gao Mingyang laughed, "Don't you know that murder is against the law"
"Slap!" In response, Xia Tian appeared like a ghost before him and left five bright red finger marks on his face with one slap.
The crowd was shocked again. Everyone stared at Gao Mingyang's palm print; had this world gone mad Someone actually dared to hit Gao Mingyang’s face
Gao Mingyang touched his scorching cheeks, momentarily finding it hard to believe. He had been hit; he was actually hit! Someone had slapped him right in front of everyone!
Rage! Fury!
Gao Mingyang felt a surge of rage burning inside his chest. He wanted to tear the bastard apart with a thousand knives and five horses, to make Xia Tian experience every single one of the Ten Harsh Punishments of the Qing Dynasty!
"Go, go after him..." Gao Mingyang roared in a fit of fury, but before he could finish his sentence, stars began to dance before his eyes.
“Crack!” Another crisp slap echoed as Gao Mingyang’s other cheek now bore five bright red fingerprints.
"Do you know that killing is against the law"
“Crack!”
"How many people have you killed then"
“Crack!”
"Do you really think you're the first son of Jianghai's Number One Family"
"You actually dare to kidnap my woman"
"Don't you know who I am"
"I am Xia Tian, the 'Xia' of spring, summer, autumn, and winter; the 'Tian' in 'Number One under Heaven.' Do you know why I'm called this Let me tell you: it means that no matter which season it is, I am always Number One under Heaven!"
"Do you know how I plan to kill you"
"I will slap you to death with my palm!"
“Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap...”
Xia Tian slapped Gao Mingyang in the face for every word she said. The surroundings were silent, and no one stepped forward to stop her; all of the security guards here had already been knocked down.
Everyone just watched helplessly as Gao Mingyang's originally handsome face quickly became unrecognizable, swollen like a pig’s head, covered in blood, with several teeth missing from the slaps.
"You bastards of Jianghai Four Young Masters, dare to provoke me and I’ll make you into the Fifth Young Master! Do you know what being a Fifth Young Master means It means having less hands, feet, and even your head – it just means becoming a mere stick figure!" Xia Tian raised her hand again to slap Gao Mingyang across the face but was interrupted by a familiar shrill voice calling out from behind: "Stop!"
Xia Tian turned around to look at the coldly beautiful policewoman not far away, waved her hand at her and giggled: "Sis Police Officer, did you come here for me because you agreed to be my wife"
"You damn scoundrel, shut up!" Leng Bingbing glared fiercely at Xia Tian; in her heart she cursed this damned fellow countless times again. Why was it that every time they met he always said the same thing
Glancing around, Leng Bingbing couldn’t help but frown: "What’s going on here"
"Com-Commander Cold... I’m reporting a crime! Someone is trying to kill me!" A muddled voice answered.
Leng Bingbing looked in the direction of the voice, her brows knitted even tighter: “What's your name”
"Captain Cold, it's Gao Mingyang!" Gao Mingyang's tone was already filled with sorrow and anger. The look in his eyes when he stared at Xia Tian was full of bone-deep hatred.
"What You say who are you" Captain Cold didn't quite catch what the other person said or perhaps she just couldn’t believe it.
"Captain Cold, this is Young Master Gao, Gao Mingyang," Qiao Donghai finally spoke up kindly.
This time, Captain Cold was truly stunned. This pig-headed guy was Gao Mingyang That seemingly handsome Gao Mingyang
Not only did she find it hard to believe, the rest of the Criminal Investigation Team members who entered with her also found it unbelievable. Who could have imagined that Gao Mingyang, the most prominent among the Jianghai Four Young Masters, would be beaten up like this
"Xia Tian, was it you who did it" After a long while, Captain Cold reacted and turned to ask.
"That's right." Xia Tian readily admitted. With so many people watching, he had no choice but to admit it.
"It’s good that you’ve admitted it. Come with me to the Criminal Investigation Team," Captain Cold was quite satisfied with Xia Tian's response and then waved her hand, "Someone, take him away."
"Captain, let me do it! Let me!" Li Ping, who had just dealt with Xia Tian earlier that day, volunteered to come over. "Xia Tian, let’s go. I have a car."
Without waiting for Xia Tian's response, Li Ping lowered his voice and said: "Xia Tian, leave first, don’t worry, I will help you."
"Thank you, Brother Li," Xia Tian smiled and pulled Sun Xinxin towards the entrance of Night Beauty.
The crowd was somewhat disappointed. Was it over like this They still wanted to watch a bit more of the show.
Just as they were feeling disappointed, Xia Tian suddenly stopped at the door and turned around to look far away at Gao Mingyang: "Oh right, Gao Mingyang, did I tell you that I can predict fortunes Since I beat you up tonight, let me give your fortune a read… Ahem. Oh no, you’re going to die within three days! Eat drink and be merry while you still can, and get someone ready for your funeral!"
The crowd was taken aback yet again; it was an outright threat!
"Oh well, a little late for that. Go sleep at the police station." Right as Xia Tian turned around, his index finger flicked slightly, and a tiny point of light shot towards Gao Mingyang’s body.
At this moment, Gao Mingyang was in extreme distress and fury, but he didn’t feel anything amiss with his body. He glared at Xia Tian’s back and planned on how to get Xia Tian thrown into prison for good!
"Who is the boss here" Cold Bingbing swept her cold gaze over the chaotic scene before them and asked frowningly.
“Captain Cold, it’s me. I’m Zhong Li; I’m the CEO of Night Beauty.” Zhong Li hurried over immediately.
"Tell me what happened first," said Cold Bingbing. She hadn’t quite figured out what had transpired here yet; in fact, she’d been called here by a phone call from the chief.
“Okay,” Zhong Li nodded and quickly recounted everything that had happened.
"You’re saying these people lying on the ground were beaten up by Xia Tian And all this stuff was smashed by him too" Even knowing about Xia Tian’s troublesome nature, Cold Bingbing still felt something wasn’t right upon hearing what happened.
“Young Master Gao! Young Master Gao, are you alright” A panicked voice suddenly reached Cold Bingbing's ears.
Cold Bingbing turned her head and found that Gao Mingyang was lying in a girl’s arms unconscious.
"Quick, take him to the hospital!" Cold Bingbing immediately gave orders. "Two people should go with him to the hospital; everyone else stay here and record statements from each person present!
Gao Mingyang's sudden fainting caused some chaos on the scene, and almost everyone involuntarily thought of Xia Tian's words a few minutes ago. Some people even felt chills down their spine; could it be that Xia Tian really practices divination Would Gao Shan really not live past three days
This night was an insomnia night for many people in Jianghai City.
The deputy mayor of Jianghai City, Gao Renxuan, who was listening to a female subordinate's work report and about to delve deeper into the matter, received a call from his secretary. He then put aside this sacred task and hurriedly went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jianghai University.
The president of the First Affiliated Hospital, He Mingzheng, was sound asleep in an embrace with his wife when he was awakened by a phone call. Then he quickly got up and rushed to the hospital, while the director of the Public Security Bureau, Huang Haitao, finally realized that he had to personally handle this matter himself. This night saw many more people being woken from their sleep...
However, the perpetrator Xia Tian passed a rather comfortable night. Although he stayed at the Criminal Investigation Team for an entire night, it wasn't in the interrogation room. Li Ping arranged a rest room for him, and that's where Xia Tian spent the night hugging Sun Xinxin. Of course, he didn't do anything to her; he merely tested the elasticity of one particular part of her body.
In the morning, after an entire sleepless night, Leng Bingbing finally returned to the Criminal Investigation Team, accompanied by Director Huang Haitao.
Xia Tian was finally led into the interrogation room, and this time it was personally handled by Director Huang Haitao himself. Leng Bingbing merely played a supporting role as Huang Haitao's assistant.
"Xia Tian, what did you do to Gao Mingyang" Huang Haitao cut straight to the point.
"Nothing much, I just slapped him eighteen times." Xia Tian yawned and looked like he hadn't woken up yet. "Director Huang, has your son's mental illness improved"
"Bang!" Huang Haitao slammed his fist on the table. "Xia Tian, behave yourself! Tell me quickly how you made Gao Mingyang lose consciousness."
"Gao Mingyang lost consciousness" Xia Tian wore an expression of innocence. "How come I didn't know about it"Summer, wait a moment."Turning to look at Li Lan, Ouyunman can't help sighing in her heart. What is going on with Uncle San's family Summer didn’t want to treat Uncle San in the first place, but now e...
