Old Xu cursed directly: "You beat me up and you still have this attitude? Do you think I owe you something?"
The person next to him immediately pulled Old Xu aside and said, "Forget it, for Mr. Han's sake, don't hold it against him."
Qin Hai chimed in, "What can we do? They have Mr. Han protecting them, but we don't. We should just bear with it."
Lu Yao slammed his hand on the table: "Who the hell are you being sarcastic to?"
Qin Hai said nonchalantly, "Isn't what I said true? You really think you're so important? We only put up with your arrogant attitude every day because of Mr. Han."
Lu Yao immediately got angry. He hated it when people mentioned his background and looked down on him.
This is a psychological trauma left from being scorned at school after injuring my leg.
So he walked straight toward Qin Hai with a cold look in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour Qin Hai.
Qin Hai is now certain that Lu Yao really wants to cripple him.
So he continued to fan the flames: "Do I need to be sarcastic? I'm just stating the facts."
"Take Lao Xu for example. When I first brought you into this circle, you called him Brother Xu with the utmost respect."
"Now, just because he hugged Mr. Han, it's like Old Xu hit Old Xu, and he didn't even apologize. Aren't you just arrogant? Don't you think we're inferior to you?"
Lu Yao snorted coldly. He was inherently both insecure and arrogant, so he simply said what he thought.
"Mr. Han values me highly. Is it my own ability, or did you make the connection and introduce me to Mr. Han?"
"Mr. Han doesn't take you seriously, of course, because you're not as good as me."
Old Xu's eyes darkened, and he naturally understood that there was something more to his words.
He explicitly said he was only referring to Qin Hai, but in reality, he was implying that everyone was being insulted.
Everyone imagined that Lu Yao didn't just look down on Qin Hai, but on all of them.
People who look down on them, yet still come to gamble with them and give them attitude—naturally, they wouldn't look down on such people.
Qin Hai, on the other hand, was on their side and even offered to treat them to food and drinks.
So when they saw Lu Yao about to attack Qin Hai, many people went to break up the fight.
From Lu Yao's perspective, however, he felt that these people were isolating him.
Everyone was on Qin Hai's side. It was Qin Hai who had tricked him, but now these people were being unreasonable, which made Lu Yao even angrier.
The two sides immediately started fighting, initially showing some restraint.
But soon everyone realized that Lu Yao was using deadly force, and if they continued to fight him, they would only be seriously injured.
These people were also angered by the beating and began to fight back, resulting in a brawl.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Hai shoved Lu Yao hard. Lu Yao was pushed down and many people piled on top of him, punching and kicking him relentlessly.
A hail of fists rained down on him, quickly knocking Lu Yao unconscious.
Qin Hai naturally wanted to have it all, and just die like that, so of course he wouldn't let anyone stop him.
Although Old Xu had a bad temper, he was still somewhat rational, and he immediately stopped the people around him.
"Stop hitting him! What if someone gets killed!"
These people then realized that this was a period of strict crackdown, and their gambling was wrong in the first place.
If Lu Yao is killed by them again, they will definitely be shot.
Thinking this, everyone started to panic.
Qin Hai jumped in and said, "Let's get him to the hospital quickly. Let's all chip in some money and keep him alive first."
Although these people love to gamble, they gamble in private and are not desperate criminals. At least none of them have ever taken a life.
After hearing Qin Hai's words, they hurriedly lifted Lu Yao into the car and rushed him to the hospital.
Lu Yao underwent surgery that lasted more than five hours and cost over 1,000 yuan, which made everyone feel a bit of pain.
They throw all that money at the gambling table without a second thought, but when it comes to Lu Yao, they feel an unbearable pain.
Fortunately, Lu Yao survived, but he only suffered four broken ribs and a broken leg.
Coincidentally, the leg he broke was the same one that Cheng Yaozu had broken before.
With both new and old injuries, he definitely can't be cured with current medical conditions; he'll be a cripple for the rest of his life.
Moreover, this guy suffered a severe concussion and had blood clots in his brain.
He needs surgery to recover, but none of these gamblers are willing to pay any more money.
Anyone could see that Lu Yao was seriously injured.
He has a lot of internal and external injuries, and it will definitely cost a lot of money to cure him.
This is a bottomless pit; it's better to just abandon it.
Qin Hai really wanted to kill Lu Yao when no one was at the hospital, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't do it.
There were too many people around, making it inconvenient for him to take action.
But now that Lu Yao has become like this, Mr. Han will definitely not reuse him anymore, and Lu Yao is considered useless.
Thinking this, he finally felt a sense of relief.
He left in a hurry before Lu Yao woke up.
The other gamblers left even earlier than him; he only ran into Old Xu downstairs.
Old Xu said very nervously, "What if Lu Yao calls the police? What if he reveals our gambling activities?"
Qin Hai said speechlessly, "He gambled too. If he exposes us, won't he be exposed as well? Then he'll lose his university degree."
"He definitely won't say anything, he'll just say we bullied him, so we have to strike first, gather people to become police officers, and pin the blame on him."
Old Xu wholeheartedly agreed, believing that the law does not punish the masses.
