Qin Lin thought to herself that Jiang Batian's behavior and mannerisms showed that he was just a local thug with a little bit of influence.
Seeing a stunning beauty like Huo Xiuxiu, my brain went blank, and I had to rely entirely on my lower body to think.
That's absolutely suicidal!
Jiang Batian raised his right thumb and gently rubbed it against his chin a few times.
He seemed to be thinking, or perhaps he was afraid.
"What? Aren't you going to take me away?" Huo Xiuxiu thought Jiang Batian had backed down when he remained silent.
He felt even more contemptuous; the three thugs Jiang Batian brought were not even in the same league as his own men.
Those around her were all mercenaries.
“Go ahead and take it. I, Jiang Batian, have never taken back what I’ve said.”
"You brat, you're asking for death!" A burly man with a scar on his face stepped forward.
He was at least 1.9 meters tall, and his physique was so muscular that his jacket was stretched out of shape.
When he walked up to Jiang Xiaoyu, who was only 166cm tall, it gave the impression of a huge, fierce bear looking down on a barking dog.
Jiang Batian disliked this feeling of being looked down upon. He forcefully stood on his tiptoes and put his hands on his hips.
"What? You think I'm afraid of you just because you look like a bear? Hmph, you're just a pretty face with no substance. I could kill you with a single finger!"
A murderous glint flashed across the scarred man's sinister face.
"You brat, it seems you're really tired of living!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scarred man grabbed Jiang Batian by the collar and lifted him off the ground with almost no effort.
Jiang Batian swung his feet in the air twice: "You stinking bear, how dare you touch me? I think you're the one who's tired of living! Men, kill this bear!"
The three men surrounding Huo Xiuxiu immediately walked towards Jiang Batian, but Huo Xiuxiu's men were numerous and powerful, and they were blocked by the three burly men as soon as they took a step.
Huo Xiuxiu said to Qin Lin, who was standing next to her, "Aunt Gu, you two go to the coffee shop first. I'll handle things here."
Qin Lin originally wanted to stay and help Huo Xiuxiu deal with this matter.
Huo Xiuxiu added another sentence.
“My men might not have been careful when they were fighting, and it’s not appropriate for people of your status to be present, especially with Little He here. Why don’t you go to the coffee shop and rest for a while? I’ll come find you after I’ve finished dealing with things here.”
Qin Lin was born into the Qin family and was used to being served by servants in the Gu family. She couldn't stand bloody scenes and even felt uncomfortable just imagining them.
"Then we'll go to the coffee shop on the ninth floor and wait for you."
After leaving those words, Qin Lin, Lan Hui, and Lan Hui's niece departed together.
There weren't many people in the mall to begin with, and when passersby walked by, they would at most glance at it curiously, but no one had the intention of meddling in other people's business.
After Qin Lin and Lan Hui left, the feigned gentleness on Huo Xiuxiu's face vanished in an instant, replaced by her usual haughty indifference.
She walked step by step to Jiang Batian and smiled coldly.
"Are you still going to treat me to a movie and dinner?"
"Hehe, never mind. Suddenly I realize you're not all that great-looking. I wouldn't even look at you."
Huo Xiuxiu's face twisted into a ferocious expression, her cold eyes scrutinizing Jiang Batian like those of a cold-blooded animal.
He then coldly ordered the scarred man, "Take this kid to a secluded place and cut off three of her fingers!"
"Yes!" The scarred man prepared to take Jiang Batian to a secluded place to settle things.
But just then
Jiang Batian, who originally looked like a little chick, kicked the scarred man hard in the face from mid-air.
It moves with lightning speed, making it impossible to defend against.
Despite having been a mercenary for many years, the scarred man remained completely unaware of the hidden dangers around him.
His face stung from the kick, but the next second, a pale fist came hurtling toward his left eye without hesitation.
"Bang!"
"Hiss!" The scarred man cried out in pain. He had just tried to dodge Jiang Batian's fist, but his body instinctively leaned back, and the hand that was holding Jiang Batian's collar was forced to let go.
Jiang Batian landed smoothly and kicked the scarred man in the abdomen.
The scarred man, who weighed nearly 200 pounds, was kicked several meters away by a short man who was almost two heads shorter than him.
At this moment, Huo Xiuxiu, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
By the time he realized what was happening, his men were lying on the ground.
Seeing the scarred man kicked away by Jiang Batian, the others surrounded Jiang Batian menacingly.
The three followers who were originally surrounded by Huo Xiuxiu's men exchanged glances and attacked almost simultaneously.
The entire battle was not as bloody as Huo Xiuxiu described.
In just two or three minutes, ten mercenaries lay dead on the ground, lined up neatly in a row.
Only Huo Xiuxiu, her face utterly stunned, stood there bewildered in the wind.
Jiang Batian rubbed his hands together, looked at the mercenaries lined up on the ground, and was very satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Who exactly are you people?"
Huo Xiuxiu was a woman who had seen her share of storms, and the Huo family was known as a family of beasts.
Because the blood ties within the family are very weak, they engage in open and covert struggles and deceptions among themselves for the sake of profit and advancement.
Therefore, Huo Xiuxiu was able to stand out among the many heirs in the large family, which shows that her IQ and courage are extraordinary.
She quickly realized that Jiang Batian, who looked carefree and irresponsible, was definitely not just a thug who collected protection money as he claimed.
But at this moment, Qin Lin and Lan Hui had been sent away by her, and now her own men had been severely injured.
She was like a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs, and completely trapped in the enemy's camp.
