“Get off me!” The man with the braid slapped at Jiang Ning’s hand, his face filled with malice.
“Who the hell do you think you are?!
You think you’re worthy of touching my shoulder?!”
Jiang Ning lifted his hand, causing the man’s slap to hit empty air.
“You’re right.
I’m not worthy of touching your shoulder!”
Hearing this, the man with the braid puffed out his chest and proudly brushed off some nonexistent dust from his shoulder.
As if showing off his status.
But just then, Jiang Ning clasped his hands behind his back, shook his head, and sighed.
“After all, they say a dying man’s words are kind.
Mom, let’s go.
There’s no need to argue with a dead man.”
The man with the braid’s expression froze, and his face instantly filled with rage.
“Brat!
What did you say?!”
The man with the braid moved to grab Jiang Ning by the collar.
But Jiang Ning wasn’t about to indulge him.
A single slap.
The force of the blow sent the man with the braid spinning!
Finally, with a THUD, he crashed hard onto the ground.
Seeing this, the security guards in the lobby all swarmed over, their faces menacing.
Each one held a weapon.
“Son, you have to go!
I’ll hold them off.”
Seeing that her son was about to be ganged up on, Su Qingwan immediately began pushing Jiang Ning toward the exit.
As long as Jiang Ning was safe, it would be worth it even if she died!
This was a mother, and her great love.
She would use her own frail body to buy Jiang Ning a chance to live!
“Mom, don’t worry.
Your son can fight.”
Jiang Ning patted the back of Su Qingwan’s hand, his expression turning ice-cold as he looked at the approaching mob.
‘Since they refuse to apologize and are instead looking for death.’
‘Then I, Jiang Ning, will grant them their wish!’
Supporting Su Qingwan with one hand, Jiang Ning lightly lifted his right foot, preparing to stomp the ground and end this in an instant.
But just as his foot was about to come down, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
“All of you, stop!”
Long Jiaojiao entered the lobby from a back door, her pretty, smiling face now incomparably cold.
Her single shout silenced the entire lobby.
Long Jiaojiao!
She was the little princess of the Long family!
And Fish Leaping Dragon Gate was a business under her name.
Here, her word was law!
All the security guards froze, looking at Long Jiaojiao with timid expressions.
“Get out of my way!”
Unable to see Jiang Ning and Su Qingwan through the crowd of guards, Long Jiaojiao let out a cold snort.
She looked all around!
The guards all obediently scattered.
This only made the anger on Long Jiaojiao’s face ten times worse.
‘So!’
‘These bastards were actually surrounding Master Jiang!’
‘Auntie is so scared she doesn’t even dare to look up.’
‘They’ve clearly been bullied badly.’
But right at that moment, a clueless figure immediately walked toward Long Jiaojiao.
“Chairman Long!
Chairman Long!
You’re finally back!” The man with the braid ran over, clutching his grotesquely swollen face.
“This brat is too outrageous!
He beat the lobby manager you personally appointed into this sorry state.”
The man with the braid came to Long Jiaojiao’s side and pointed arrogantly at Jiang Ning, cursing, “Brat, our Chairman Long is back!
Get on your knees and kowtow, admit your mistake!
Otherwise, our Chairman Long will have you dumped in the river in minutes, and this old hag won’t even have a body to find!”
Jiang Ning’s eyes turned sharp, and an endless killing intent emanated from his entire body.
Dumped in the river!
This brought back some very bad memories for him!
Long Jiaojiao was forced back step after step by this killing intent.
She retreated dozens of steps before she could steady herself.
She was a Martial Artist!
Therefore, she could clearly feel Jiang Ning’s killing intent.
But the man with the braid was just an ordinary person.
Other than feeling that the lobby had gotten much colder, he felt nothing else.
“Zhang Shuai!
Was it you who provoked him?”
Long Jiaojiao asked, her expression icy as she pointed at Jiang Ning.
Zhang Shuai, thinking Long Jiaojiao was about to stand up for him, immediately puffed out his chest.
“Chairman Long, this brat is the one who hit me!
A moment ago, they were dressed in rags, and I kindly advised them to leave, but they insisted on staying.
I had no choice but to use slightly more forceful means.
But this brat is just too insolent!
He hit me for no reason!
This is a blatant trampling of your dignity!”
After listening to Zhang Shuai, Long Jiaojiao understood exactly what had happened.
SMACK.
Unable to control herself, she viciously slapped Zhang Shuai’s left cheek with her right hand.
His damn face once again swelled up at a visible rate.
Now perfectly symmetrical, he was completely dumbfounded.
“Chair…
Chairman Long…
Did you hit the wrong person…?”
The swelling on both cheeks made Zhang Shuai’s voice sharp and high-pitched.
It sounded utterly ridiculous.
“The wrong person?”
Long Jiaojiao sneered and kicked Zhang Shuai.
THUD.
Zhang Shuai tumbled for dozens of feet, rolling right in front of Jiang Ning.
“You bastard, how did you offend Master Jiang?!
Hurry up and apologize to him!”
Zhang Shuai’s eyes widened abruptly!
‘Master Jiang?’
‘Where is this Master Jiang?!’
But as soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Ning, and a bad premonition instantly gripped his heart.
“Y-You…
you’re Master Jiang?”
Zhang Shuai asked cautiously, covering his face with both hands as he looked at Jiang Ning.
“That’s right,” Jiang Ning said flatly, a cold smirk on his lips.
“But if you want to apologize now, it’s a little late.”
“Auntie, this is all my fault.
I’m so sorry you were frightened.”
Just as Jiang Ning was wondering what to say, Long Jiaojiao took Su Qingwan’s arm and spoke with utmost sincerity.
“Sigh!” Su Qingwan heaved a heavy sigh.
“Young lady, this isn’t your fault.
It’s just that my son and I aren’t fated for such a wealthy life.
Ning’Er, let’s just go back home.
I feel more at ease there!”
Long Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Looking back at Zhang Shuai, her eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
‘That bastard!’
‘He completely ruined the good impression I worked so hard to build.’
“Men!
Drag this bastard away and feed him to the dogs!
As for the other guards who were about to attack, all of you will sever one of your own arms as atonement!”
With a cold command, Long Jiaojiao pronounced their fates.
Especially the security guards.
Upon learning of their gruesome fate, they immediately became terrified.
They all knelt beside Long Jiaojiao, kowtowing desperately.
“What’s the use of kneeling to me!
If Auntie doesn’t forgive you, then all of you can be dumped in the river!”
Long Jiaojiao was so angry she was trembling with rage.
She felt like she was about to die from anger!
THUD THUD THUD—
All the security guards turned and began kowtowing for their lives toward Su Qingwan.
Jiang Ning’s expression remained as impassive as an ancient well.
But Su Qingwan had never seen a scene like this.
“Ning’Er…
this…”
Su Qingwan was at a complete loss.
Her flustered face clearly showed she had no idea what to do.
“Mom, their fate is for you to decide.”
Jiang Ning said calmly, deciding it was time for his mother to get used to this.
He was a Cultivator!
‘In the future!’
‘There will be no shortage of “minor scenes” like this, many times grander.’
‘If she can’t even accept this…’
‘Then in the future, I, Jiang Ning…’
‘…will inevitably have my hands tied.’
Su Qingwan looked at the dark mass of people all around her and nervously pursed her lips.
“Since…
you all know you were wrong…
let’s just leave it at that for now…
All of you, get up…”
