Xiao Yang was thrown down into the middle of a pile of broken chairs. The pain that wrung his entire body senseless made it impossible for him to get back up, but even then, his mouth still refused to be weakened.
âYou guysâŠâŠyou guys lied to me!â He angrily denounced the men in front of him.
âArenât you being a bit ridiculous by saying this young master Xiao? Even if I, Da Gui Ge, is part of the underworld, you canât just go around framing me like that you know.â
A dark face, fat and tall man pulled out a stick of cigarette and lit it, then inhaled.
Curling up, Xiao Yang groaned in pain and said, âDidnât I help you guys? I fucking helped you guys!â
âActually, now that you mention it, this is all thanks to you.â Da Gui laughed mischievously.
Just as he was about to say something else, a young man with dyed red hair suddenly laughed and immediately said, âDa Gui Ge, you didnât see it at that time, this young master Xiao is definitely no ordinary person.â He restrained his laughter before continuing on to say, âThe moment he heard we want to cut his hand off, his legs became weak like noodles and he nearly piss his pants.â
The group of men that encircled Xiao Yang all burst into a loud laughter.
Another young man on the side said, âThen he cried so fucking loud, it was as if his parents had died. He incessantly shouted, âspare me please, spare me.â Let me tell you, he sniveled until his face was covered in snots ah!â
The men laughed loudly again.
The red hair youth felt he had been robbed of the limelight so he quickly said, âAnd, when Dong Ye [Luo Dong] was presence, he immediately commanded, âIf Han Jia is not capture, I can still make Xiao Li miserable? Cut it off!!â This kid immediately kneeled down.â He squeezed his own throat and used a pleading tone to say, ââSpare my life, Iâll help you capture Han Jia!ââ
Everyone roared with laughter; Da Gui joined them and said with mockery, âWho would have guessed, his method was actually useful. Humph, your brother didnât even do anything when he saw that hand, yet Han Jia actually came to throw his life away. Young master Xiao, whoâs actually your blood brother huh?â
Watching those five men surrounding him, making fun of him and laying out his weakness, Xiao Yangâs insides were filled with fiery flames, but he didnât have the nerve to refute. All he could so was hatefully say, âIt doesnât matter, didnât you say, you guys already captured Han Jia? Didnât you say when Han Ji showed his face, youâll let me go?â
âWeâve indeed let you go ah.â Da Gui proudly smiled and said, âAfter Han Jia showed up, weâve immediately let you go, right? But, weâve never said we wouldnât capture you again after weâve let you go.â
Under the roaring laughter, Xiao Yang was riddled with anxiousness and began to cough. Consumed with anger, he said, âYou guys, what the fuck do you guys want with me?â
Da Gui faced the red hair youth and gave him a signal with his eyes. The youth stepped forward and touched Xiao Yangâs pocket.
Seeing as his body was being touched, Xiao Yang eyes widened while a burst of fear settled into his stomach, âYouâŠâŠâŠwhat are you doing?â
The red hair youth had already pulled out a cell phone from Xiao Yangâs pant pocket, but when he saw him shivered in fear, he kicked him and cursed, âFucker, I donât even fancy someone as good looking as Han Jia, why the fuck would I fancy you?â
The surrounding men snickered, causing red hair youthâs face to turn bright red, then he kicked Xiao Yang a few more times.
âItâs smart of Da Gui Ge to capture and wrap you up like this; beating you half to death, then letting you go. Seeing as this place is so remote, youâve definitely look for Xiao Li to come and get you. Once Xiao Li heard that youâre out of danger, you think he wouldnât come here himselfâŠâŠâ
Xiao Yang suddenly became excited. He was in so much pain, he couldnât say anything else anymore; all he could do was to continuously struggle.
Seeing this, the red hair youth kicked him again, âWhat are you being so anxious for? Even if Xiao Li doesnât personally come, weâve shadowed you. As soon as you finished calling him, weâve recapture and brought you back here again. Itâs not like we have anything to lose.â He twisted his head around to look at Da Gui and fawningly say, âDa Gui Ge, what do you think about what I say?â
âYouâve said it well!â Da Gui was beaming with smiles, âWeâve definitely watched him make a phone call right?â
âOf course,â said another subordinate from the side, âOur young master Xiao only walked halfway up a mountain, then fell and rolled back down. Heâd even lie on his stomach and made a call. His voice was filled with such grievance as he spoke, saying, âquick come and get me, if you come late, Iâll be dead.â Da Zhou and I waited until he finished with the call before we lifted him up and carried him back here. There are still three of us waiting over there.â
Brimming with happiness, Da Gui was just about to say something else but stopped when he saw the red hair youth swiping through Xiao Yangâs call history, then charged toward Xiao Yang and kicked him a few more times.
âMotherfucker, you think youâre amazing because youâve been abroad. I even fucking thought it was pinyin.[1] But itâs actually all fucking foreign words. You donât love your country, Iâll fucking kick you to death. You traitor, Iâll fucking kick you to death!!â
Just as the group of men rose in an uproar, some people were at the door.
âDa Gui Ge,â they shouted, âWeâve captured someone, but this person said he doesnât know who Xiao Li is ah.â
Xiao Yang suddenly moved and struggled to lift his head up, he hissed and shouted out, âSusu, SusuâŠâŠâŠâ
Everyone turned their heads around and saw a handsome and elegant young man with his hands tied behind his back. Although he was being shoved into the room the entire time, his expression however was still drawn with calmness.
He saw Xiao Yang lying on the ground, then looked around at the other people. Letting out a sigh, he said, âExcuse me, did you tied me up and brought me here because you need a math tutor?â
