Chapter 154: Zhao Jianqing's Son

Zhao Zhenghao was no ordinary person, and his martial arts skills were far from weak. Yet, before he could even react, Lin Yang landed a solid, resounding slap across his face, sending blood spurting from his nose and mouth.

Jiang Ruohan, Zhao Zhenghao's wife, was naturally caught completely off guard. She could hardly believe that anyone in Luocheng would dare to lay a hand on her husband.

"Darling..."

Xu Qiang's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Lin Yang as if he were a dead man.

This punk had admirable courage, but he was undoubtedly digging his own grave.

"Are you a dog, too? How does the saying go—doesn't your dog bite people?" Lin Yang asked coldly.

He loathed this particular excuse used by dog owners above all else: "Oh, my dog is so cute, it doesn't bite! Don't be afraid!"

To hell with that! You're the owner, of course it doesn't bite you, and of course you aren't afraid.

Anyone who says such things is either a fool or malicious.

Lin Yang had no intention of pandering to Zhao Zhenghao's rotten habits!

If it were some small, harmless dog, it would be one thing, but a Rottweiler was a fierce breed with formidable aggressive capabilities. Moreover, it was blatantly obvious that Zhao Zhenghao's dog had undergone special training, making it even deadlier than typical Rottweilers.

Zhao Zhenghao clutched his burning face. Jiang Ruohan hurriedly rushed over to wipe the blood from his cheek, only to be shoved aside harshly by Zhao Zhenghao. His eyes split wide with rage as he glared at Lin Yang, wishing he could slice him into a thousand pieces.

The fellow before him had not only killed his beloved dog—whom he viewed as his own flesh and blood—but had also dared to strike him. With deep-seated blood feuds and unbearable humiliation combined, he swore he would never rest until he killed this man!

"You bastard! Do you have any fucking idea who I am? How dare you hit me!"

Consumed by fury and relying on his high status, Zhao Zhenghao completely ignored Lin Yang's warning and spewed vicious curses with a distorted face.

"Still running your filthy mouth? It seems that slap was a bit too light. Today, I'm going to smash that dog mouth of yours."

Lin Yang raised his hand slightly.

"I'm going to fucking kill you! I'll hack you to pieces to pay for my Peter!"

Zhao Zhenghao figured he had just been caught off guard; once they fought for real, he wasn't afraid of anyone.

After all, he was a sixth-grade martial arts expert, already a standout among his peers.

With that, Zhao Zhenghao assumed a combat stance and prepared to attack.

"Be careful!"

Li Runzhu hurriedly issued a warning.

The owner of the dog that had nearly harmed her daughter was right in front of her; how could she not hate him? Yet, deep down, she knew all too well that even Section Chief Xu Qiang was bowing and scraping to this man—someone she could never afford to offend.

Naturally, she assumed her savior could not afford to cross such a powerful figure either.

Therefore, she was extremely worried for Lin Yang.

Lin Yang stood rooted to the spot without moving an inch. Zhao Zhenghao's attack arrived instantly, delivered with simmering rage, making his punch three parts more powerful than usual.

Zhao Zhenghao was confident that a single move would send this damned fellow flying ten meters away, after which he could slowly torture him to death!

Rage burned fiercely in Zhao Zhenghao's eyes, while a sinister, malicious smile crept across his face.

The very next moment, however, Zhao Zhenghao's gaze turned to utter shock, and his facial expression morphed instantly.

Because his fist had been caught by Lin Yang.

He shook his arm, unleashing a burst of power in an attempt to break free from Lin Yang and resume his assault.

Yet Lin Yang's hand was like an iron vise. No matter how much force he exerted, it was utterly futile. Instead, a sharp, agonizing pain shot through his knuckles, as if Lin Yang was about to crush his fist entirely.

Zhao Zhenghao instantly prepared to execute a low kick, targeting Lin Yang's lower body to force him into a defensive retreat.

Before his foot could even strike, however, Lin Yang executed a backhanded slap across his right cheek.

*Slap!*

The sound was crisp and resounding!

Nearby, the faces of Jiang Ruohan and Xu Qiang twitched uncontrollably. Just watching it hurt!

Zhao Zhenghao's head buzzed violently. If Lin Yang hadn't still been holding his fist, that single blow probably would have sent him flying through the air.

"Let go of my husband!"

Terrified, Jiang Ruohan didn't dare rush forward, so she could only scream angrily at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang glared at her. The icy, piercing gaze sent a chill straight through Jiang Ruohan's heart, silencing her instantly.

"You really enjoy cursing people, don't you? If you aren't afraid of pain, go ahead and keep cursing! Let's see just how tough that mouth of yours is."

Lin Yang maintained his grip on Zhao Zhenghao's fist without letting go.

Zhao Zhenghao's lips were split from the blows, and fresh blood dripped continuously from the corners of his mouth.

He was driven nearly insane with fury. When had he ever suffered such a devastating loss or endured such extreme humiliation?

He had never imagined that, as a dignified sixth-grade expert, he would prove to be no match for the man before him, let alone end up completely subdued and restrained.

Yet, despite his boiling rage, Zhao Zhenghao refused to yield, roaring furiously, "Fuck your mother! You piece of trash, I am the son of General Zhao Jianqing from the Luocheng Garrison District! You are fucking dead!"

Zhao Zhenghao had no choice but to drag out his family background, convinced that the opponent would be utterly terrified into submission.

General Zhao Jianqing of the Garrison District was not only immensely powerful in his own right but also a One-Star General holding military authority over the garrison. Occupying a lofty and influential position, he could sit on equal footing with City Lord Yan Ruoyu, and arguably held even greater practical authority.

While Yan Ruoyu could not issue direct orders or command Zhao Jianqing, Zhao Jianqing possessed the authority to command the elite garrison troops.

"So you're Zhao Jianqing's son. No wonder you're so arrogant."

Lin Yang hadn't truly expected this fellow to be the son of Garrison General Zhao Jianqing.

Even so, he remained entirely unfazed.

"You piece of trash, do you finally know what fear is? Why aren't you letting me go right now and kneeling to kowtow before me!"

Zhao Zhenghao barked arrogantly.

Yet, the moment his words fell, a sudden *crack* echoed, accompanied by a piercing shriek of agony from Zhao Zhenghao.

His wrist had been snapped directly in half by Lin Yang, exposing the jagged bone beneath.

"You think far too highly of yourself. If your father Zhao Jianqing were standing right here, I might give him three points of courtesy. But what kind of worthless thing are you? You have no right to bark and scream in front of me!"

With that, Lin Yang delivered another kick, shattering Zhao Zhenghao's kneecap. With a heavy thud, Zhao Zhenghao collapsed directly onto his knees.

This entire sequence of actions left Jiang Ruohan completely dumbfounded. Who on earth was this man? Why did he know her husband's identity and yet show no fear? Instead, he had launched such a brutal assault on her husband!

Xu Qiang was naturally stunned as well!

This was Zhao Jianqing's son for Christ's sake! How on earth did this man have the guts to do this?!

Upon hearing Zhao Zhenghao declare his lineage, Li Runzhu had long since been scared out of her wits. No matter how deeply she hated the dog's owner, she could only swallow her grievances and resign herself to bad luck.

Such a colossal figure was not merely someone she could not afford to offend—she didn't even dare harbor the slightest thought of crossing him!

"Darling!"

Jiang Ruohan covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her husband's wrist snapped and his kneecap shattered, she felt utterly helpless!

Zhao Zhenghao's handsome face distorted into a hideous expression as he let out a heart-wrenching, soul-shattering scream.

Sanitarium staff members began rushing toward the scene one after another, though they had yet to grasp the situation before being intercepted and blocked by Xu Qiang.

Although Xu Qiang had no idea what kind of background Lin Yang possessed, he knew all too well that this man was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Since he could afford to offend neither party, he could only turn a blind eye and remain neutral.

"You idiot! What are you standing there frozen for? Do you want to watch me die here?" Zhao Zhenghao roared furiously at Jiang Ruohan.

"Darling, I didn't mean to!"

Jiang Ruohan desperately wanted to rush over and pull the kneeling Zhao Zhenghao to his feet, but terror paralyzed her limbs, driving her to the brink of hysterics.

"Call my dad immediately! Call him right now! Tell him to bring the garrison troops and surround this place!"

Zhao Zhenghao had completely lost his mind!

Rage had stripped him of his sanity!

Hatred had driven him utterly mad!
