These guys, they're all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong!

If it weren't for my own fists being hard enough today, who knows, maybe my 80 million worth of raw stone would have been devoured by Zhang Rong and Ma San? Xu Hao had no pleasant look for them!

Xu Hao's tough stance instantly stiffened the smile on Ma San's face, "Bro, we all live in South City, there's a line you should never cross, man!"

"Screw your line! Are you leaving or not? Don't waste my time, I gotta get home for dinner!" Xu Hao frowned and scolded angrily, giving no face to Ma San at all.

Even Ma San, with his good temper, started to lose patience, "You bastard, you're forcing my hand, boys, let's do this, show him what we're made of!"

Surrounded by seven or eight burly men, they all pulled out steel pipes and wooden clubs at Ma San's signal, and charged at Xu Hao in unison.

Bang, bang, bang!

These muscular men might have looked intimidating, but as they charged, they were merely offering their heads on a platter.

Eight guards, eight swings of Xu Hao's fists—one punch each!

In less than ten seconds, the eight guards were lying on the ground again.

"Now it's your turn!" Having knocked down the last guard, Xu Hao gazed fiercely at Ma San in front of him; his figure dashed forward rapidly, charging towards Ma San.

Ma San looked serious, "You scoundrel, so ungrateful. You're asking for a lesson from this guy..."

Bang!

As Ma San swung his fist, before he could finish his sentence, Xu Hao had already landed a punch on his face, easily knocking Ma San down, a few of his teeth shattered, and with a mouthful of blood sprayed, "You..."

Is this guy even human?

Ma San, after all, was Grandpa Ma's chief instructor, stronger than those mercenaries. But under Xu Hao's hands, why did he seem like a kindergarten kid, so fragile?

Xu Hao stepped on Ma San's back and picked up a stick from the ground, smacking it repeatedly against Ma San's backside.

"Damn it, I'll teach you for bullying the weak!"

"Teach you for pushing people around!"

"Blocking my way when I'm starving!"

"Damn, you're so ugly, yet you dare to scare people out here, serves you right!"

...

Bang, bang, bang!

One blow after another landed on Ma San's backside, causing a scorching pain that seemed to be blossoming.

"Ouch, stop, please! Big brother, I beg you..." At this point, Ma San could no longer care about his dignity and started pleading for mercy. With Xu Hao's approach, he feared he might be beaten to death if this continued!

After more than a dozen strikes, Xu Hao, too, was getting winded and finally eased up a bit.

Suddenly, a siren sounded from the street outside. Hearing this, Ma San felt as if he heard the music of heaven. Previously, Ma San had always been terrified of such a sound, but now he was overjoyed.

Ma San screamed out in a panic, while Xu Hao was momentarily stunned, quickly wiped the stick on Ma San's clothes, then shoved the stick into Ma San's hands and collapsed on the ground with a thud, crying out even more miserably than Ma San.

"You're not human... You bunch of thugs, bullying people in broad daylight!"

"Ow, my lumbar disc, ow, my arms and legs, how did they fly five or six meters all at once!"

...

Such a scene dumbfounded the surrounding crowd.

Grabbing a handful of grass?

Ni Ma, can you be any more shameless?

Just now you clearly beat someone until they cried for their daddy and mommy, so how come now you're the one pitifully crying? Your acting skills, not going for an Oscar, is simply a waste of talent.

It wasn't until a beautiful woman in uniform charged into the crowd with a few people that the bystanders realized the police had arrived.

"What's going on? Someone called the police, saying there was a fight here?" The beauty leading them was named Jiang Xuezhun, who had only been transferred to South City a few days ago.

Seeing everybody lying on the ground, Jiang Xuezhun's eyebrows furrowed slightly. It seemed like the fight had already ended.

Ma San saw Jiang Xuezhun and acted as if he had seen his own savior, "Officer, it wasn't a fight... it was him beating us! Look, there are so many of us, we were almost beaten to death by him!"

"Bullshit! You're lying through your teeth; am I really that amazing? All of you are tall and burly, could I really fight so many of you by myself? It was clearly you guys bullying me, alright! Ouch..." Xu Hao lay on the ground, countering while pleading with Jiang Xuezhun, "Beautiful officer, you must stand up for me."

Xu Hao was pretending to wail, but Ma San was truly grimacing in pain, "Shameless bastard... you... spouting nonsense... it was really him who knocked us down..."

Ma San wanted to counter but realized his own words were too weak.

Our side is full of a dozen muscular men, beaten down by an unimpressive young guy? Who would believe that?

"Right! Officer, I am not lying... It was really him who started hitting us! If you don't believe me, ask the people around, they all saw it with their own eyes, right, folks?" Ma San looked at the surrounding crowd, seeking help with his eyes.

Now he could only hope they would testify and uphold justice for him.

However, many in the surrounding crowd had just been conned by Zhang Rong. Ma San and his gang had blocked the road, preventing them from passing, and they were all fuming inside. Xu Hao beating up these jerks made them too happy to intervene, so how could they possibly testify for Ma San?

Jiang Xuezhun frowned slightly and turned to a middle-aged man wearing glasses beside her, "Sir, hello, did you see what happened just now? Who hit whom?"

The middle-aged man shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No... I didn't see anything, the wind was too strong, and sand got in my eyes..."

Pfft!

Ma San was so angry he almost spat blood; the middle-aged man had clearly been standing at the forefront, clapping and cheering, and now he claimed he didn't see clearly?

Before Ma San could respond, a woman wearing a leather jacket in the crowd snorted in dissatisfaction, "Officer, no need to ask further, isn't it obvious? These jerks blocked the young guy's car and wouldn't let him pass. Then the young guy got out to reason with them, and this is the result! How could one guy possibly stand a chance against so many muscular men? That's common sense!"

This chapter's true source is My Virtual Library Empire (*).

"Exactly, exactly, it was them who hit the young guy; I'll testify!"

"I'll testify too, the young man is a good person!"

...

The crowd around started testifying one after another, and a faint smile appeared on Jiang Xuezhun's face, "Alright then, Ma San, I know you! Come on, come back with me and explain yourself properly!"

Jiang Xuezhun waved at her subordinates behind her, and several officers stepped forward, pushing and dragging Ma San and the others away, not even sparing Zhang Rong.

"As for you..." Jiang Xuezhun glanced at Xu Hao, initially planning to take Xu Hao back to make a statement too. But just at that moment, Liu Ruyan got out of the car and, seeing Jiang Xuezhun, opened her arms wide...

Jiang Xuezhun's face showed a trace of joy as she too opened her arms wide in front of Xu Hao!

Shit!

Does this mean she wants to hug me? Xu Hao was bewildered!
