She lunged at Jiang Xiuya like a madwoman, her withered fingers grabbing Jiang Xiuya's wrist tightly as she tried to pull it back!
"Ah!" Jiang Xiuya cried out in pain and tried to break free.
Liu Fangling gripped her tightly, her nails digging deep into Jiang Xiuying's delicate skin.
Jiang Xiuying flung herself away, breaking free of the restraints, but several clear bloodstains were left on her wrists.
"You little vixen! You dare fight back!" Having missed her grab and been flung away, Liu Fangling completely lost her temper, cursing, "I bet you're just a born slut! You're only here to seduce men! You deserve to be..."
"Smack—!"
A crisp, loud slap rang out, even heavier and more vicious than the one that had hit Liu Erleng earlier!
The entire noisy square seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Xu Kuo stood there, his gaze icy, exuding a terrifying aura of ferocity.
He withdrew his hand, looking at Liu Fangling, who was stunned by the five finger marks that quickly appeared on her face, and his voice was devoid of any warmth: "Watch your mouth, if you dare to insult her again, I'll tear your mouth off!"
Liu Fangling covered her swollen cheek and stood there stunned for several seconds before letting out an even more piercing scream.
"Ah—! You! You hit me again?! Wang Cheng! You dead man! Your wife has been beaten twice! What are you still standing there for?! Kill him! Beat him to death!"
Wang Cheng never expected that Xu Kuo would dare to hit his wife again in front of him!
This is practically rubbing his face in the ground!
Veins bulged on his forehead as he pointed at Xu Kuo and roared at the few security guards who hadn't yet reacted, "What the hell are you standing there for?! Get him! Arrest him! This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! Cuff him and take him away!"
The guards, jolted back to their senses by Wang Cheng's shout, realized it was an order from their supervisor, and Xu Kuo had indeed struck someone. They exchanged glances, drew their ropes, and prepared to step forward.
Xu Kuo's eyes sharpened.
He knew he couldn't confront these uniformed people head-on.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Going against the "public power" of this era is definitely the worst strategy.
In a flash, he grabbed Jiang Xiuying's wrist and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pushed off with his feet, pulling Jiang Xiuying away from the crowd!
"Stop them! Don't let them get away!" Wang Cheng shouted angrily, and took off after them. Liu Fangling, ignoring her embarrassment, screamed and followed behind. Several security guards also immediately gave chase.
However, they soon discovered in despair that they simply couldn't catch up!
Xu Kuo was incredibly fast! His body had undergone systematic modifications, making him far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength, speed, and endurance.
At this moment, he was holding Jiang Xiuying's hand. Although he was a little slow, he still ran like the wind. He dodged left and right in the crowded farmers' market, nimbly avoiding the crowds and stalls. In the blink of an eye, he had left Wang Cheng and the others far behind!
Wang Cheng and his men were panting heavily as they ran, watching helplessly as Xu Kuo's figure receded into the distance. He was furious: "Damn it! Is that kid... a slippery eel?! Quick! Chase after him! We have to catch him today!"
Just then, at the other end of the square.
Sheng Xu and Zhang Zhihe were walking side by side, both with apologetic and guilty expressions on their faces.
Sheng Xu was still pondering in his heart that his attitude towards Xu Kuo was indeed somewhat inappropriate because of Zhang Zhihe's incident at the gala. Although he had apologized, he still felt that it wasn't formal enough.
He planned to take Zhang Zhihe to have another good talk with Xu Kuo to completely resolve the previous misunderstanding.
"Comrade Xu Kuo shouldn't have left yet today, right?" Zhang Zhihe asked somewhat nervously.
"Yes, it should be there. Let's go take a look." Sheng Xu nodded.
The two had only taken a few steps forward when they saw two figures running towards them in the distance, followed by a group of noisy people chasing after them.
Upon closer inspection, the one running in front was none other than Xu Kuo, the very person they were looking for!
He was also holding hands with a woman!
"Comrade Xu Kuo?" Sheng Xu frowned. Something was wrong! Among the people chasing them, there seemed to be some wearing security team uniforms?
He and Zhang Zhihe exchanged a glance, then he immediately stepped forward and blocked Xu Kuo's path: "Comrade Xu Kuo! What's going on?!"
Xu Kuo suddenly stopped in his tracks and saw that the people blocking his way were Sheng Xu and Zhang Zhihe. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found his pillar of support.
He took a breath, pointed to Wang Cheng and the others who were panting and catching up behind him, and quickly gave a brief account of what had just happened.
"Captain Sheng! Comrade Zhang! You've come at the right time! That guy in the Zhongshan suit is Wang Cheng, the market manager. His brother-in-law harassed my wife... I taught his brother-in-law a lesson, and he's now bullying us, not only trying to extort money from us, but also wanting the security team to arrest us!"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xu's face instantly darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.
This is outrageous!
In broad daylight, they harassed women, beat victims, and even dared to abuse their public power for personal gain.
This is absolutely outrageous!
He had previously felt that the atmosphere in some places was not right, but he never expected that such a local tyrant would be hiding in this small farmers' market!
Just then, Wang Cheng, along with Liu Fangling and several security guards, caught up with them.
When he saw Xu Kuo being stopped by two people, he assumed they were helpers Xu Kuo had brought. He was too tired from running and didn't bother to see who Sheng Xu and Zhang Zhihe were. He just stood there with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, and sneered at Xu Kuo and the others.
"Ha! Running away! Why aren't you running anymore? You even brought two helpers? Kid, you're ridiculously naive! You think two more people will make a difference? Let me tell you, it won't matter who comes today! Disrupting market order! Engaging in a brawl! Assaulting a manager's family member! These charges are enough to keep all four of you in jail for a few days!"
Looking at Wang Cheng's smug and arrogant face, Xu Kuo couldn't help but sneer, his eyes filled with pity: "Steward Wang, I think you should worry about yourself first. Your good days are probably over. You're the one who should be going in!"
"What the hell are you talking about!" Wang Cheng felt a sudden jolt in his heart when Xu Kuo looked at him, but he remained defiant. He didn't understand what Xu Kuo meant and just thought that the kid was still being stubborn even when he was about to die.
Too lazy to waste any more words, he waved his hand and ordered the security guards, "What are you waiting for?! Get them! Arrest these four troublemakers! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
"Let's see who dares to move!" Sheng Xu shouted, taking a step forward to block Xu Kuo and Jiang Xiuying.
The security guards paused in their tracks at his shout and looked at Wang Cheng hesitantly.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng became even more dissatisfied. He glared at Sheng Xu with extreme impatience.
"Who do you think you are? Trying to stand up for them? I'm telling you this one last time! Make that kid kneel down and kowtow to my wife to apologize! And give me two hundred yuan for medical expenses! Otherwise, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save them!"
