Chapter 83: Wipe Out the Entire Family Tonight!
Ling Yun looked down at Brother Tian who was rolling and howling in pain and said indifferently, "You all wear the uniforms of enforcement officers but operate like robbers and bandits. Do you think the common folks have it easy? Their hard-earned money all comes from waking up early and setting up their stalls to sell vegetables. Yet, you guys have the audacity to drive around the streets and cause a scene?"
"Putting those aside, for five fully grown men to treat a pregnant woman this inappropriately, how dare you say you're enforcing the law?"
"I'm in a good mood today so I'm giving you guys a small punishment. If I see you guys treating people so poorly again, you better watch out for your lives!"
After he was done, he tilted his head and pondered before he continued. "I'm telling you, I'm going to be all up in Liu Li's business from now on. If you guys want to seek revenge, look for me. I'm Ling Yun from The People's Clinic, if you have the capability, go ahead and look for me!"
"Regardless of who you are, I'll make sure you die a painful death if you dare to harass Liu Li again. Try me if you have any doubts!"
As the last words left his mouth, Ling Yun raised his foot and kicked Brother Tian's butt. "Get out!", he yelled before turning around and walking towards Liu Li.
"Ling Yun... The useless son of Doctor Qin from The People's Clinic? This is called useless?"
"Hehe, Tian Xiaoguang deserved this. You know, when I was at my usual spot for dinner last night, I saw Ling Yun and someone who drove a Hummer beating Tian Xiaoguang's uncle!"
"What? Really? Ling Yun isn't even afraid of Hades Tian, let alone him!"
"Hmm, for a scumbag like this, not beating him to death would be considered a light punishment. They're practically a bunch of bandits! They deserved it!"
The onlookers discussing among each other agreed that Ling Yun handled this situation perfectly and were singing his praises.
Ling Yun rushed towards Liu Li and took a look at her complexion. He could not help but furrow his brows, this woman had struggled too much just now and might be at risk of a miscarriage.
"Big brother, thank you for saving me, I'm... sorry for causing you so much trouble!" Tears of gratitude filled her eyes as she thanked him sincerely.
She had witnessed all that Ling Yun had done for her. Initially, she had thought that she was doomed and would not be able to escape, but Ling Yun came in like a knight in shining armor and saved her. How could she not be grateful?
Ling Yun shook his head as if whatever he had done was not worth mentioning before staring at Liu Li and saying, "Liu... Ms. Liu, your long-term sleep deprivation, in addition to malnutrition, as well as you overexerting yourself just now, I'm afraid it might have affected your baby."
"What?!" The color drained from Liu Li's face when she heard that and her voice began to tremble.
Her husband was still lying unconscious in a hospital bed and his chances of regaining consciousness were still unknown. Their unborn baby was their only flesh and blood. If something happened to it, Liu Li would no longer have a reason to continue living.
"Don't panic. Since I'm able to diagnose it, I also have a way of treating it. Do you know where's The People's Clinic? You can look for me there. Don't worry, I'll make you better."
Ling Yun flashed her a comforting smile.
Liu Li could tell that Ling Yun was no ordinary person. No mortal would be capable of beating seven armed able-bodied men to the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Big Brother, thank you so much. You're my family's savior! Unfortunately, my husband is unconscious now. If he knew what you have done for us, he would do anything to repay you!"
Liu Li knew that she had not only met her savior, she had also met her guardian angel. She was extremely grateful for Ling Yun and wished she was able to kneel down to thank him.
"Miss Liu, no need to thank me. Since I was met with such a situation, I had no reason to not interfere. Here are 1000 dollars for you. If it isn't enough, we'll figure out something else."
Ling Yun dug out his remaining 3000 dollars and counted ten notes before handing it to her.
As the Chinese saying goes, 'Go all the way while doing a good deed'. Since Ling Yun had already involved himself in this incident, he would naturally go all the way to help Liu Li out. As for repayment, Liu Li's eyes that spelled out gratitude were more than enough.
"Big brother... I can't possibly accept this, I already don't know how to repay you after you've saved my life, how could I accept your money?"
Liu Li was rendered speechless as she would never have imagined good people like this still existed in the world. All she could do was shake Ling Yun's hand over and over again.
Ling Yun had a faint smile on his face as he shoved the money into Liu Li's hands. "Take it. All the vegetables that you've gotten from the farmers market have been destroyed by these b*stards. We'll see how things go two days later."
Liu Li gaped at the money in her hands and looked at Ling Yun in a daze, completely lost for words.
This young man resembled a god that descended from the heavens when he fought. However, now that he was standing in silence before her, he did not resemble the young man who was fighting before. Even though he was a little plump, his redeeming factor was his height. His broad shoulders gave anyone a strong sense of security and his honest looking face was like a breath of fresh air. A faint smile accentuated his mesmerizing dimple on his left cheek, making him even more eye-catching.
Especially his eyes, bright and clear. It was as if he could look deep into your soul. Occasionally, a hint of determination flashed through them before he quickly reverted back to his usual calmness, as if nothing in the world was able to affect him.
As she looked at him, a strange feeling bubbled within her and before she knew it, she got a huge shock and quickly turned to look elsewhere, but it was too late as her cheeks were already bushing
Ling Yun did not notice the sudden change in Liu Li. "Miss Liu, we shouldn't stay here for long. I think you should head home first. If there's anything, you can look for me at The People's Clinic."
"Mhmm..." Liu Li shuddered inexplicably as she whispered softly and nodded her head.
She did not even bid him goodbye before hopping onto her electrical trishaw and speeding away.
"Why would I feel like that...? So embarrassing!" She only started to slowly apply her brakes about 1 kilometer away. Gently caressing her flushed cheeks, she shamed herself for feeling that way.
...
Hmm, since when did I become such a nice guy? Apart from saving people and getting myself into trouble, I even gave her 1000 dollars?
However, it felt rather satisfying, hehe... As it turns out, doing good deeds occasionally isn't a bad thing...
Ling Yun left that place right after he sent Liu Li away. It was already past 7 a.m. and he had to buy breakfast for his mother and sister who should be awake by now.
As for Brother Tian and his bunch of scumbags, Ling Yun could not be bothered with them. Tang Meng had already told him last night that his father was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. As long as no lives were lost, anything else could be swept under the rug.
Five minutes after Ling Yun left, two cars arrived at the location where the fight had taken place. However, Brother Tian had already been sent to the hospital by Li Kun and his other underlings via their van. No one was left at the scene.
"Let Number 3 and 4 investigate who beat them up, we'll wipe out his entire family tonight!"
No one got off the cars. In the black BMW in front, a fierce-looking man with a long machete scar on the right side of his face glanced at the puddle of blood on the floor. A hint of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes as he uttered those words coldly.
"Yes, Cutter!" A redheaded underling quickly began making some phone calls.
The one who gave out orders was naturally Cutter, who had rushed over after receiving the phone call. He was the leader of the slums and had close to 200 underlings. He owned all the places of public entertainment around here, such as cabarets, restaurants, spas, and shady nightclubs. He even ran an underground casino.
Tian Botao meddled around with both the good and the evil. Obviously, the evil was Cutter.
Cutter's eyes had an ominous glint and his expression was constantly shifting. After pondering for some time, he casually said, "Let's go have a look at Tian Xiaoguang in the hospital!"
As it turned out, Cutter's underground casino had just squeezed one of its wealthiest customers dry last night and had a net income of over 300,000 dollars. He had brought 20 underlings along with him to celebrate at a nightclub till 2 am and brought home 2 ladies after he was done with the party.
As he got sandwiched between the two beautiful ladies, he messed around with them until 4 am in the morning before falling asleep with them in his arms.
Who would have known that Cutter would only get 2 hours of sleep before he was woken up by a phone call? The moment he heard that Brother Tian had been beaten up, he scrambled out of bed and made phone calls to gather his underlings, while stepping on one of the ladies' legs in the process.
Once he got dressed and went downstairs, he received another phone call saying that the perpetrator had already left the scene and that Brother Tian was being sent to the hospital.
Ever since Cutter had defeated his rival Black Skin two years ago, the area around Linjiang Road belonged to him. No one dared to cause any trouble in his territory.
Therefore, for someone to beat up his defensive umbrella, Tian Xiaoguang, who was Tian Botan's nephew, it was equivalent to having a death wish.
Tian Botao had just spoken to Cutter a few days ago about the plans for a large-scale demolition of the slums. The government and developers would require someone who could get their hands dirty, especially when handling those householders who refused to vacate their homes. Cutter knew how much money they would get if they landed the job!
Cutter knew better than anyone that if he did not handle the incident involving Brother Tian well, his losses would be unbelievably huge when Tian Botao pins the blame on him!
That was why he ordered to wipe out the perpetrator's entire family!
"Hmm, Xiaoguang has so many issues. If he wanted a woman, I could've ordered someone to kidnap her for him. Did he have to run about playing a fool? Look what happened! Sooner or later, you still need me to clean up your tracks!"
Cutter groaned and ordered the driver to head to the next destination. The black BMW's engine roared to life as it sped away.
...
Ling Yun bought breakfast for three people and carried it back to The People's Clinic. By the time he got there, The People's Clinic had already opened their doors and started business. Ling Yun was greeted by the sight of Ning Lingyu at the clinic's entrance holding a mop as she looked around.
Ning Lingyu was about to lose her mind!
Had her brother not said that he was going to train and lose weight? Since he said he was going home late, Ning Lingyu had patiently waited for his return, but who knew he would not be back even by 3 am in the morning? She even fell asleep on the couch while waiting for her brother's return but to no avail!
Even if he was desperate to lose weight, he could not possibly have trained for the entire night, right? Had something happened to her brother?
Ning Lingyu woke up at 5:30 am, still distraught as her brother had not returned yet. At 6 am, she opened up the clinic's entrance and constantly came to check if her brother had returned every 3 minutes.
"Lingyu, it's a Sunday, why didn't you sleep in? Why'd you wake up so early? Look, Brother bought you breakfast!"
