"You are going to admit you were wrong! Admit it!" Tang Xuewu yelled, grabbing Qin Long. "Can’t you understand ?"
Her fury soared as she swung her fist, about to smash it into his face.
Qin Long looked at Tang Xuewu and slowly closed his eyes. His life had been saved by her; he naturally wouldn’t dodge her blow. But if she struck him, it would be over between them. After giving Tang Xuewu enough money, he would leave Jiangzhong.
Tang Xuewu’s body trembled. Her clenched fist, only a hand’s breadth from Qin Long’s nose, quivered and stopped.
If she actually hits him, won’t that make him seem pathetic and unmanly? Co on, do it! Bai He secretly cheered her on.
When Tang Xuewu suddenly stopped, the onlookers grew impatient.
"Qin Long, I’m utterly disappointed in you!" Tang Xuewu gritted her teeth and fiercely punched herself in the nose!
BANG!
A crisp sound echoed through the room, which was instantly followed by dead silence.
Everyone looked at Qin Long and saw he was unhard. To their shock, Tang Xuewu had actually punched herself. The people around them were stunned.
"Xuewu, why would you do this?" Bai He yelled, rushing forward.
Tang Xuewu clenched her fists, enduring the pain as blood stread from her nose. "Tiantian, Li Min, it’s all my fault," she said, covering her nose and bowing her head. "I didn’t look after Qin Long properly. I apologize to you both."
She couldn’t bring herself to hit Qin Long. But a mistake was a mistake, and it had to be resolved.
Qin Long was dumbfounded, filled with imnse sha.
Tang Xuewu actually hurt herself for my sake... And here I was, hung up on so foolish principle! How stupid!
Qin Long, do you still think you’re the all-conquering Heavenly Dragon? You’re just a man who can’t even stand!
He was filled with imnse regret. He had promised to protect Xuewu, yet now he was being protected by a frail young woman. The room fell silent once more.
Tang Xuewu looked at the quiet Tiantian and Li Min. "If this isn’t enough to appease you, I’ll just..."
Gritting her teeth again, she held back tears of frustration. She imdiately grabbed a beer bottle, intending to smash it against her own head.
Qin Long moved to stop her but was pushed aside by Bai He.
"Xuewu, stop!" Bai He shouted angrily as he lunged for the beer bottle. "Don’t do sothing so foolish!"
But Tang Xuewu retreated to Qin Long’s side.
"Xiaowu, I don’t care about the video anymore! Please, don’t hurt yourself! I’m begging you!" Jiang Tiantian quickly grabbed Tang Xuewu’s arm, shaking her head in distress.
Liu Xiaoyue wanted to say sothing but was intimidated into silence by Qin Long’s chilling gaze.
"Tiantian, Qin Long’s legs aren’t steady. That’s why he slipped and knocked your phone into the hot pot," Tang Xuewu explained on his behalf. "It must have been a misunderstanding!"
Jiang Tiantian sighed. "It’s alright, it’s alright. I forgive him," she said softly. "The video’s gone, so be it. We’re the best of sisters. No matter what, you can’t hurt yourself. You’ll make so sad."
Several of their other female classmates also chid in, trying to persuade Tang Xuewu. anwhile, Bai He and Li Min fixed their gazes on Qin Long, the true culprit.
A wave of indignant murmurs spread through the other classmates as they stared at Qin Long. "That cripple is no man, making the beautiful Miss Tang protect him." "Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he’s disabled?" "What a fucking spineless loser. Xuewu hurt herself for him, and he won’t even say a word." "If I were Tang Xuewu, I would’ve kicked him to the curb long ago. Or better yet, never saved him in the first place and just let him die!"
"Qin Long, you have less guts than a woman," Li Min yelled, her arms crossed. "You make a ss and expect Xuewu to clean it up for you."
"Shut up if you don’t want to die!" Seeing Tang Xuewu hurt, Qin Long’s fury soared. This was all his fault—who wouldn’t be enraged? His mood had hit rock bottom. If Li Min dared to provoke him again, he would show no rcy.
"What if I don’t shut up? Who the fuck do you think you are?" Li Min taunted, covering her nose as she leaned in and pointed at Qin Long’s forehead. "Cripple! You useless cripple!"
A chill flashed in Qin Long’s eyes, his right hand gripping his chair tightly.
"What, you don’t like that, trash?" Li Min’s eyes were filled with mocking contempt. "Co on, I’m begging you, hit ! Your fiancée will just end up taking the punishnt for you anyway, won’t she?"
Hearing this, Qin Long took a slow breath, forcefully suppressing the rage in his heart.
Tang Xuewu tried to step in, but Jiang Tiantian held her back. "Xuewu, you can’t protect him forever. He’s not a child," Jiang Tiantian said. "Besides, what happened today really is Qin Long’s fault. If I were you, I would have never saved him."
The other female classmates nearby murmured in agreent.
Suddenly, Qin Long looked up at Li Min. "Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to hit you," he said calmly. "My legs aren’t steady, and I accidentally knocked Jiang Tiantian’s phone into the hot pot. Though it wasn’t intentional, I can apologize to her.
"You, on the other hand, were looking for trouble. You got hit because you asked for it, so it’s your own damn fault. You bitch. You don’t deserve an apology from ."
Qin Long stared coldly at Li Min, a trace of amusent playing on his lips. In that instant, a murderous aura swept through the room. Even Jiang Tiantian and Tang Xuewu felt the chilling change and stiffened in shock.
"I’ll give you two choices. First, get on your knees, kowtow to Xuewu, and admit this was all your fault. For Xuewu’s sake, I’ll let it slide this one ti. Otherwise..." Qin Long’s chilling voice bored directly into Li Min’s ears. "I don’t care if your Li Family is a powerhouse in Jiangzhong or so martial arts clan. In seventy-two hours, I will see to it that the Li Family is bankrupt and liquidated."
Every word was firm and powerful, his expression and voice incredibly cold.
The mont Qin Long finished speaking, the room fell dead silent. Everyone was stunned. The Li Family might not be a top-tier powerhouse, but they were still worth hundreds of millions. They all thought Qin Long was bluffing.
"You want to kneel and apologize?" Li Min shrieked. "I’m going to tear his mouth off today!"
Gritting her teeth, she grabbed a beer bottle and charged at Qin Long.
Tang Xuewu and Jiang Tiantian imdiately grabbed her, but seeing them intervene only made Li Min more agitated.
"Don’t hold back! I’m going to teach him a lesson today!" she scread. "This la dog dares to threaten my Li Family? Go on, I’m begging you to try!"
The atmosphere in the room grew tense.
Just then, a magnetic voice cut through the tension. "Well now, it’s quite lively in here, isn’t it?"
