Chapter 33: The Report Was Wrong!
The long gown looks quite handsome when worn, giving a jade tree in the wind feeling. But when it comes to fighting, it's really a bit of a hassle.
It's also fortunate that Qin Luo has worn this outfit for many years and won't feel very awkward. If Li Meng were to wear it, he'd probably kick his own feet out and fall over before hitting the enemy.
Of course, this garment can't be said to have no advantages at all. At least, its loose sleeves and hem can serve to confuse the enemy.
They often couldn't tell where Qin Luo's hands and feet were, and when they found out, they would either get punched in the face or kicked in the stomach.
With both hands holding a dagger, the attacker launched a surprise attack. Qin Luo grabbed his wrist and delivered a powerful elbow strike, sending the man stumbling backward several steps before landing on his buttocks.
A short man saw his many subordinates attack but still couldn't knock down Qin Luo, and cursed: "A bunch of trash."
"Aren't you going to shoot him? Give it a shot." Li Qingyang said, egging him on from the side. He hated Qin Luo extremely and naturally hoped his ending would be as miserable as possible.
The short man sneered and glanced at Li Qingyang, pulling out a black handgun from his pocket and tossing it over, saying: "You're familiar with this thing too, aren't you? Try shooting it."
At that moment when Li Qingyang grabbed the gun, he really wanted to shoot Qin Luo dead with one shot.
But after hesitating for a long time, he still returned the gun with a wry smile and said: "Ran Ge, I really can't play with this thing."
The short man took the gun and put it in his waist, laughing and scolding: "Do you think I'm stupid? Why didn't you fire? Whoever fires is done for. I'm helping you out here, can't you see that? If it weren't for your old man's face, do you believe I'd just slap my butt and leave?"
"Haha. Anyway, brother, I was just joking around. Who would really let you do this?" Li Qing said with an awkward smile.
The short man threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, then stepped on it with one foot, and trampled the soft body of the cigarette into fragments. He looked at the battlefield and said, "How did you provoke him? This kid has some skills. I have several brothers who were ruined by him. The remaining people are probably not enough for him to deal with."
"He's just a teacher. Is it easier to trample him than to trample an ant to death? Brother Ran, do you want to call some more people over?"
"Cut the crap. When have I ever fought with others and needed to be rescued? You're not afraid of losing face, but I am. We've caused trouble in Kai Ge's territory, even if he doesn't say anything. Later on, you'll also need to give him some compensation. This isn't good for his business."
"Alright, brother, don't worry. I'll treat Kai Ge to a drink later and apologize." Li Qingyang said with a smile, but the movement caused the wound on his face to bleed again, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
Tao Ran nodded and suddenly shouted loudly: "All of you stop it."
As soon as he spoke, the group of black-clad men he brought with him immediately stopped. Some wounded men who were lying on the ground and crying out in pain were also lifted up by them and gathered around the leader.
Tao Ran glanced at those students who were beaten until their noses were blue and swollen, and smiled: "You are too cruel. These are all students, if they get hurt, who will be responsible?"
"Boss, we all held back. But this bunch of bastards went too far." A subordinate pointed to his own panda eyes and explained.
"Hmph, can't be helped. Who let you be a student? The future pillar of the country." The short-haired boy said mockingly.
"Do you also know the severity of the problem?" Qin Luo asked with a smile. His physical strength was almost exhausted, and if these people were not willing to retreat, he didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
It's strange, it's all messed up on this side, and the KTV staff didn't even notice? And no one called the police?
"I know. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated long ago." Tao Ran said frankly.
What Tao Ran said is right, these people don't dare to be too arrogant. Qin Luo's identity is a teacher, and the ones he brought with him are students. If something really happens, it may cause a national sensation. This responsibility is not so easy to bear.
It's fortunate that these men in black knew when to stop and spared them, otherwise they would have been seriously injured.
Nowadays hooligans are getting smarter and more cunning.
"Let them go." Qin Luo said, pointing at his students. "This is between him and me, it has nothing to do with my students."
"Alright. Listen to you. I really can't do anything about them." Tao Ran nodded and said.
"Li Meng, you take everyone back first. Hurry up." Qin Luo shouted.
"Wang Jiujui, take your classmates and go back first. I'll stay here to accompany Teacher Qin." Li Meng shouted, holding a broken bottle in his hand, with a fierce look on his face as he glared at the group of black-clad men.
"Xiao Hua, you take people back first." Wang Jiujin walked to Qin Luo's side and shouted.
Xiao Hua looked around and suddenly burst into tears, shouting: "I'm not leaving. If we leave, everyone leaves together."
"We won't leave either. Qin teacher, we absolutely will not abandon you."
"I don't believe they can do anything to us."
"Damn it, I'll fight them."
Tao Ran gazed at the scene in front of her, glaring fiercely at Li Qingyang, and smiled as she said: "Indeed, a deep bond between master and apprentice. I must say, I'm quite impressed with you. In this day and age, it's not easy for a teacher to reach your level."
"It's too much." Qin Luo said calmly. But in his heart, he was somewhat anxious. These students staying here, he really didn't feel at ease about it.
"Alright, I see you're quite skilled. I've also practiced Thai boxing for a few years. Why don't we exchange a few moves? If I lose, you can leave. If you win, apologize to my friend." Tao Ran said.
Qin Luo shook his head.
"What? Unwilling? You don't seem to have much of a choice, do you? All you need to do is choose between counterattacking and getting beaten up." Tao Ran said with a cold smile.
"Whether I win or lose, I won't apologize to him." Qin Luo said.
"You little brat, you're quite bold. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you." Li Qingyang said in a venomous tone.
"Haha, you have a strong personality." Tao Ran smiled and said, "However, I don't particularly like people with too much personality."
He took off the suit jacket on his body, stretched his wrist joints, and suddenly burst out. Like a tiger coming down from the mountain, he rushed towards Qin Luo as fast as lightning.
Li Ming, the security manager of Jinzongluo, was holding a new package princess in his arms and teasing her when he was interrupted by a call from his subordinate.
"Manager, there's someone causing trouble at our Golden Palm." A security captain's voice came from the receiver.
"Do you need to ask me about such a trivial matter? Can't you just beat him up and throw him out?" Li Ming said slowly and deliberately in front of the art academy student.
"Manager, I don't dare," said the security captain.
"Are you out of your mind? Who dares to cause trouble in our Jinpang Island?" Li Ming cursed angrily.
"Manager, it's Tao Ge," said the security captain.
"Alright, I've got it. You guys be careful and don't let Tao Ge suffer a loss. I'm going to report back to the boss." Li Ming said.
"Is someone causing trouble?" a seemingly innocent and lovely girl asked aloud.
"Haha, someone wants to die, can't blame others. You go ahead and get busy, after work I'll treat you to a midnight snack." Li Ming pinched the girl's cheek and quickly walked out.
"Where is Tao Ge?" Li Ming said to the approaching security captain.
"Second floor. Things seem to be getting out of hand. Should we step in and say something?" the security captain suggested.
"Don't even mention it. You don't know Tao's temper? When he's in a bad mood, who dares to go and plead with him? He and our boss are sworn brothers, no matter what happens the boss will take care of it." Li Ming said.
"What shall we do now?"
"What should we do? Just wait. I'll call the boss and see what he says." Li Ming walked to the door, ready to call the boss to report the situation.
The phone was answered and a slightly hoarse male voice came from inside. "What's up?"
"Boss, there's something I need to report to you," Li Ming said with a bow. As if this would make the person on the other end of the phone feel his sincerity.
"Say it," the man said briefly.
"It's like this. Tao Ge had some conflicts with customers in our store and it seems they got into a physical fight. It was quite loud."
"What's his story?"
Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Nothing much."
"Let them make trouble then." The man said and hung up the phone with a click.
Li Ming hung up the phone and was about to turn around and enter the store when a strong light shone directly into his eyes.
At the moment of sudden contact, it even made his eyes temporarily blind.
When he got used to the strong light and saw the scene in front of him clearly, his pupils suddenly widened.
An olive-green military truck stopped at the entrance of Jinpalm, a row of soldiers with live ammunition jumped off the truck and quickly formed up.
Silent and soundless, yet tense and orderly. Only the sound of boots buckles hitting the ground could be heard, 'clank clank'.
Heavy and oppressive, yet giving people a sense of weightiness that is as strong as a thousand jun.
Led by a young officer wearing glasses, he waved his hand and said, "Go in. Rescue the commander's daughter."
"Yes." A group of men shouted, with a fierce and murderous aura.
The bespectacled man made a gesture and the group of soldiers clattered in their boots, rushing into the Golden Palm Hall.
As the manager of Jinzonglu, Li Ming should have stood up and intercepted them to ask for their reasons.
But when the group of soldiers with submachine guns and piercing gazes ran past him, he didn't even have the courage to open his mouth.
Like a nobody, those soldiers didn't even give him a proper look.
Perhaps his lips moved slightly. Or he said something. But who knows? Because these words could only be heard by himself.
"What were these soldiers doing suddenly running into an entertainment venue?"
"Save the commander's daughter? Which commander?"
A terrible thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and Li Ming's legs went soft with fright. "Could it be that the commander's daughter was at their place? And had encountered some kind of danger?"
Recalling the report from his subordinate just now, Li Ming became even more certain of his conjecture.
Isn't this going to cost us our lives?
He quickly took out his mobile phone and connected to the boss's call, saying: "Boss, I reported incorrectly earlier. Those people are very powerful. Even the army has been deployed."
Li Ming's words had not finished, when the scene heard a loud shout. There were also people covering their heads and running out of the scene, inside was already chaotic.
