Chapter 171 When pushed to the limit, people are capable of anything.
Qin Ce nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Qiao Xing took a deep look, then glanced at the man whose fate was uncertain, and at the men around him who were getting up from the ground.
She gritted her teeth, turned around, and went upstairs.
But instead of going inside, he stood up and looked down, taking out his phone, ready to call the police at any moment.
The other men who had been knocked down limped to their feet and surrounded Qin Ce, while others ran over to check on Lao Lei's injuries.
"Kid, are you tired of living?"
Another man pointed at his nose and said viciously, "Do you know who you hit? Driving a beat-up electric scooter, you really dare to do that? You better pray that Lao Lei is alright, or your whole family will die!"
The commotion below was so loud that it attracted a lot of attention, and some people had already come out to watch the show.
Surrounded by the crowd, Qin Ce leaned casually against the wall. "You want my whole family to die? That's some serious threat?"
The person checking Lao Lei's injuries turned around and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, call an ambulance right now!"
They then realized what was happening and quickly took out their phones to make a call.
Qin Ce suddenly grabbed his hand, "I'll do it."
The man paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Now you're scared? Being scared won't help. You can just wait to die!"
Qin Ce's lips twitched into a barely perceptible smile. "Even if I'm going to die, you can't kill me here. Why don't we go somewhere else to talk?"
Seeing the expression on Qin Ce's face, the man suddenly felt a little suspicious.
But what this kid said makes sense. There are so many people here. Even if they're incredibly bold, they wouldn't dare to kill someone in public, would they?
After thinking it over, the kid must be scared and wants to find a secluded place to beg for mercy and ask them to spare his family.
Thinking of this, the man laughed, "Alright, you've got some guts, let's go!"
They didn't intend to kill Qin Ce, since he hit Lao Lei, and Lao Lei would have to deal with that himself when he woke up. But they had to do something so they could explain things to Lao Lei when he woke up.
The group got into the car, and the man gave Qin Ce an address, telling him to come over in a bit. Then he lifted Lao Lei into the car and drove off.
They rushed Lao Lei to the hospital; his head was covered in blood and he looked very seriously injured.
Seeing that they had all left, Qiao Xing hurriedly came downstairs.
"Qin Ce, what did you say to them?"
Qin Ce watched the cars drive away before turning to Qiao Xing and saying, "I apologized to them, and it's all over."
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised. He actually apologized? "Huh? Really? They're not going to hold this against us?"
"Yes, I mentioned Jiang Wang, and then they left."
Qiao Xing frowned suspiciously. Just now they were saying that Jiang Wang looked down on poor relatives, but now Jiang Wang's name is useful?
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Aren't you going to the hotel soon?"
Qiao Xing nodded. "And what about you?"
Qin Ce rubbed his temples, looking tired. "I'm going back to sleep. I only slept for two hours last night. I'm very sleepy."
Qiao Xing looked at him with a skeptical expression. "Really?"
"Trust me, go quickly, don't keep your cousin waiting."
"Alright then." Qiao Xing also believed that he knew what he was doing. He wasn't a child anymore. He couldn't be so impulsive as to risk his whole family's lives.
"I'm going to find my cousin first. You go back and get some sleep."
Qin Ce nodded slightly.
Qiao Xing turned around and ran upstairs again. Before the commotion could start, the onlookers dispersed.
Qin Ce also rode his electric bike away from the residential area.
Seeing that he had left, his aunt quickly pulled Qiao Xing aside and whispered, "Xingxing, did Xiao Ce just hit someone? Why is this child so short-tempered?"
Qiao Xing was also in a state of confusion. These were people Jiang Wang had invited. He had hit Jiang Wang before, but Jiang Wang had forgiven him. He wondered if Jiang Wang would be so accommodating this time.
She casually brushed it off, saying, "It has nothing to do with him. He was just too anxious because he saw me being bullied..."
Auntie said again, "Oh dear, I saw it all. He hit someone so badly and then kicked them. Xingxing, you'd better be careful when you go home. With that kind of temper, you might even commit domestic violence. Just look at your mother's husband."
"It's good that this person can make money, but he also has to have good character. Didn't you see the news? That woman broke up with the man, and he went to her house and killed her whole family. How scary is that?"
Ultimately, she was still afraid of getting into trouble. What if the couple had a fight one day, and Qin Ce came to their door with a knife and chopped them up? Wouldn't that be a pointless disaster?
“I heard from your rich friend just the other day that your ex-boyfriend was also beaten into the hospital by him, right? I heard he almost beat him to death. Look, it's only been a few days. He just started hitting and beating people.”
"If you ask me, the fact that he got married at thirty might mean he had some kind of violent tendencies."
Qiao Xing answered her absentmindedly, "Violence tendencies."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's violent tendencies, it's scary. These kinds of people don't know their own limitations, they don't know how to control themselves, they can do anything if you push them too far, oh dear, what should we do?"
It has to be said that Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat when his aunt said that.
However, she quickly banished these thoughts from her mind, as Qin Ce was not usually like this when he was with her.
Moreover, both times he made a move, it was against Qiao Xing. In any case, Qin Ce only hit people because of her.
“Aunt, he’s not that kind of person.”
“You silly child, your aunt has seen more than you have. You’ve met all kinds of people. Don’t just fall for someone because they’re nice to you. These kinds of people are incredibly nice to you when they’re nice to you, but they’re capable of anything when they’re not.”
"Anyway, I think he definitely has psychological problems. There was a news story a couple of years ago, about a man who was extremely controlling. He stabbed another man more than ten times because his wife said two words to him."
"Aunt, please stop talking." Qiao Xing's heart was pounding from what she said; she still couldn't believe that Qin Ce was that kind of person.
"Alright, alright, you think your aunt talks too much now, but don't come crying later." Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, the aunt gave up and turned to go back into the house to attend to her own business.
This side.
The group of rich kids drove Lao Lei to the hospital in a hurry, as if they were afraid that Lao Lei would die on the way.
But halfway there, several cars suddenly rushed out.
None of the cars had their lights on, so by the time the driver saw them, it was too late to avoid them. He had to slam on the brakes, causing the tires to slip and the car to veer off at an angle.
There were three cars in total. One crashed into the guardrail, one overturned, and the last one crashed into the overturned car.
Unfortunately, Lao Lei was inside the overturned car and suffered secondary injuries. He even twitched while unconscious before falling still.
The car that was stopped in the middle of the road suddenly opened its door, and a group of people got out of the car and walked towards the overturned vehicles.
They opened the doors of the three cars, brought out the dazed and confused rich kids, and carried them into the cars.
The car sped away, leaving three overturned vehicles lying on the roadside.
