Chapter 131: Daring to Cause Trouble?

"Ah!"

Two screams rang out!

The crowd snapped back to reality, only to discover in shock...

The two fierce-looking thugs from a moment ago now had their arms twisted into terrifying angles!

And all of this... was the work of Ling Qiu!!

"Wh-what is going on!?"
"Just now... did... did you see that clearly?!"
"It seems... this kid... moved just now?? But... didn't he just reach out casually?!?"

Everyone was stunned!

In their eyes, Ling Qiu had merely faced the two thugs and slowly reached out his hand, looking as if he had just given them a light tap...

But with that "gentle" tap...

He had actually... directly crippled both of their arms!

"?!?!?!"

Lu Mao was instantly dumbfounded.

What was going on?!
What had this kid done just now?!
A seemingly casual tap, and he had dealt that kind of damage?!

Liang Feifan and Liu Xing looked at each other in bewilderment!

For a moment, the entire room fell silent; no one could quite grasp what had just happened!

Ling Qiu, however, remained indifferent, saying to Lu Mao, "Is that all you've got?"

"!!!"

Lu Mao came to his senses, and the words sounded incredibly grating!

"It seems... you’re a martial artist??"

Lu Mao's brows twitched violently!

This was something he hadn't anticipated!

But after all, he was a man of the world... He had seen plenty of young men who could fight. Although he was briefly shocked, it wasn't enough to make him lose his composure!

At this moment, Liang Feifan and Liu Xing also recovered, frowning as they looked at Ling Qiu, then at the two thugs who were clutching their arms and grimacing in pain.

"I didn't expect... this kid to have such skills!"
"No wonder he was so arrogant just now!"

After their brief surprise, the crowd actually started laughing again.

Especially Liang Feifan and Liu Xing; they squinted at Ling Qiu as if looking at a dead man.

Yes...
They had seen people who could fight before!
But what era was this?
Knowing a few tricks of hand-to-hand combat meant nothing!

In the face of absolute status and power, all of that was just worthless trash!

One had to know... this was the Water City Hotel!
The hotel manager here had to respectfully call his Senior Brother Lu "Young Master Lu" when they met!!
And the young master of this establishment, Cheng Qiang... was even sworn brothers with Young Master Lu!

Just a moment ago, if you had only been rude, it might have ended there... With so many people watching, they probably would have just taught you a simple lesson and called it a day.

But now... you dared to strike, and so brutally at that...

Then, I'm sorry...
The wrath of Senior Brother Lu is something a bottom-feeding, poor kid with a few parlor tricks like you simply cannot withstand!

"Heh, you've got guts."

Finally, Lu Mao spoke, clapping his hands with a grin: "You actually dared to hit my men here. Do you know how terrifying I, Lu Mao, can be once I get angry?"

As he spoke, he leaned in toward Ling Qiu, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Meng is your girlfriend? — Too bad, tonight, she is destined to be mine... WAAAH!!!"

Before he could finish his sentence!

Ling Qiu suddenly struck!

He raised his hand and grabbed Lu Mao by the head!
Incredibly swift!

Bam!

A dull thud echoed!

Lu Mao's head collided violently with the floor!!
Blood splattered instantly from his forehead!

This impact was enough to make Lu Mao roll his eyes and nearly pass out on the spot!
Yet... this was even without Ling Qiu using his full strength!!

"Ah!... Ah!..."

His strong sense of pride kept Lu Mao going as he pushed through the excruciating pain to sit up, his blood-smeared face instantly coming into view for everyone to see!

"Ahhh!!!"

The crowd began to scream!
Especially the women; seeing blood, they started acting as if they had gone mad!

"Blood... blood!!"

Lu Mao wiped his face, and when he saw the mess of blood on his hand, he froze for a second, then let out a shrill, ungraceful shriek!!

Bam!

Ling Qiu lifted a foot and kicked Lu Mao directly onto the ground!

Crack!

It was the sound of ribs breaking!!

"Oww... ugh!!"

Lu Mao wanted to keep wailing, but Ling Qiu slammed his foot onto his mouth!!

Ling Qiu's face was cold, his voice flat: "I don't want to hear your voice. It's disgusting."

"Mmmph, mmmph, mmmph!!!"

With his mouth sealed by the sole of Ling Qiu's shoe, Lu Mao struggled to call out and get up, but he was completely powerless!!

Ling Qiu’s strength was exaggeratedly immense!
Pinned under his foot, Lu Mao felt as if his entire body was falling apart; he couldn't even lift an arm!!

"He's... he's crazy! This person... is crazy!!!"

This, at last, completely shocked everyone!
Every one of them turned deathly pale!

Liang Feifan shouted: "Quick!! Go call Manager Sun!! Tell him someone hit Young Master Lu!! Hurry!!"

Hearing this, Liu Xing hurriedly pulled out his phone, and while dialing the number, ran out of the banquet hall with his men!

Seeing this scene...

Everyone knew...
Today, things had escalated to a point of no return!!

Liang Feifan pointed at Ling Qiu: "You... you're finished!! You are completely finished!! You actually dared to hit Senior Brother Lu!! Do you know that the young master of this place, Young Master Cheng, is our Senior Brother Lu's brother!! Today, you will die without a place to be buried!!"

As he spoke, he accidentally locked eyes with Ling Qiu.
Liang Feifan jumped in fright and quickly retreated a step, worried that Ling Qiu might beat him up as well!

Ling Qiu scanned the crowd coldly.
This was the effect he wanted.

Shen Meng was at the medical school, which was on a different campus from his.
They definitely wouldn't be able to see each other often.
So...
Since he had struck today, he would see it through to the end!
Make this group afraid! Make them never dare to target Shen Meng again!

Before long, Hotel Manager Sun arrived quickly with over a dozen security guards!

"Who?! Who dares to hit Young Master Lu here?!"

When Manager Sun entered and saw the scene, he nearly fainted from fright!
The blood on Lu Mao's face had already pooled on the floor, and he thought Lu Mao had been beaten to death!
But seeing Lu Mao's hands still trembling, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly assessed the situation.

Finally, his gaze landed on Ling Qiu!

"You... were the one who injured Young Master Lu?!"

Manager Sun was livid, pointing directly at Ling Qiu: "Young Master Lu is a guest of our Young Master Cheng. You... are you looking for death?!"

Ling Qiu glanced indifferently at the group of guards behind him, feeling a bit disappointed.
He had thought... they might have some grand move up their sleeves.

"Just these people? ...Fine, all of you come at once."

Ling Qiu had lost interest.

"You seem... quite confident?"

However...
Just at that moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance!

Everyone looked over!

A young man in a black shirt walked in slowly.

The crowd was stunned; this person looked somewhat familiar!

Liang Feifan hesitated for a moment before exclaiming in shock: "It's... it's Cheng Qiang?!!! Young Master Cheng?!!"

At the mention of that name, the crowd erupted in an uproar!!

Young Master Cheng had appeared!!

Although Cheng Qiang did not have the status of a direct descendant like the five young masters of the Cheng family... as a cousin from a collateral branch, he was more than enough to run rampant in this provincial capital!!

Good, good, good!!

Liang Feifan and Liu Xing exchanged a look, their faces filled with ecstasy!

There was no need to think...
If Young Master Cheng had stepped in...
Today, this Ling Qiu... wouldn't be leaving this place without being beaten half to death!!
