Chapter 194: Chapter 175: Beat the Crap Out of Him (Part 2)
He deliberately emphasized the words "big boss," his underlying meaning already perfectly clear.
Until they identified the person who had hired them, Li Qian certainly wasn’t going to let them leave, even if they had already been beaten to a pulp.
Who knew if they would immediately notify their employer the moment he let them go.
Only by keeping them under his thumb would they obediently do as he said.
Li Qian understood this, as did Wu You. So, it wouldn’t be so simple for these three to just leave.
Not much time passed before a very expensive-looking sports car came speeding toward them.
A somewhat familiar figure with a rather unfamiliar face appeared before Li Qian.
The whole scene was actually a bit strange, but Li Qian quickly put the pieces together.
Watching from inside the car, Wu You, who was sitting right beside Li Qian, also saw the figure get out of the sports car.
Watching the figure, she murmured in confusion, "Huh? That person... why do they look so familiar?"
’Isn’t he familiar...?’
Li Qian silently added in his head.
He had already recognized the man’s identity.
And it was precisely because he recognized him that he was so surprised.
But surprise soon gave way to understanding.
’Now he finally understood why the man was targeting him.’
’Still, to hire thugs to teach me a lesson over such a trivial matter... this guy is really petty and narrow-minded.’
That’s right. Even though the man had an unfamiliar face, Li Qian had already recognized him.
It was none other than Xu Yue—one of Gao Yaxin’s simps, who’d had a small conflict with Li Qian the previous night.
He might have changed his face and altered his appearance, but perhaps he hadn’t taken it very seriously, because the disguise was riddled with flaws.
His clothes and style hadn’t changed in the slightest.
And it was precisely because of his clothes that Wu You had felt a sense of familiarity.
After exchanging a glance with Wu You, the corners of Li Qian’s mouth lifted into a faint smile. "No, not familiar. Not familiar at all."
Wu You froze for a moment when she heard him.
By now, she had also recognized Xu Yue and couldn’t understand why Li Qian was deliberately playing dumb instead of exposing him on the spot.
After a moment’s thought, a look of sudden realization dawned on her exquisite, beautiful face.
She nodded, then played along. "Right. Not familiar at all."
Seeing that Wu You understood him, Li Qian looked straight ahead and said unhurriedly, "So, what should we do with people we’re not familiar with?"
Hearing this, Wu You’s eyes lit up, and her voice was tinged with excitement. "Beat the hell out of him."
Li Qian saw that she was already making a fist. A little stunned, he couldn’t help but size her up again.
This Wing Race woman looked so prim and proper, like a lady from a good family, but deep down, she seemed to be hiding a violent gene.
She also had a mischievous side.
That’s just how she was when she dealt with the bald man and his two companions. Every punch landed with brutal force, showing no mercy, beating them until they were crying for their parents.
The woman with dreadlocks, in particular—while her face wasn’t badly hurt, the pain all over her body was likely no less than what the bald man was feeling.
Li Qian even suspected that Wu You might have been targeting her on purpose.
After all, while the woman with dreadlocks was average-looking, her chest was indeed quite massive—much larger than Wu You’s, at least.
And as a result, her chest had suffered the most vicious beatings.
And because her face was unscathed, she looked fine on the surface. Wu You assigned her a new task. "You, go lure him over here."
Hearing Wu You’s command, the woman with dreadlocks shivered involuntarily.
She was clearly traumatized from the beating, to the point that just hearing Wu You’s voice made her shudder.
But scared or not, the woman with dreadlocks knew what a violent person Wu You was. Not daring to delay for a second, she immediately got out of the car.
The woman with dreadlocks walked straight toward Xu Yue, enduring the pain and trying her best to look relaxed.
She walked up to Xu Yue’s side and said in a flat voice, "Boss, the target’s in the car."
As she spoke, the woman with dreadlocks pointed to a car parked up ahead.
This time, to ensure things went off without a hitch, the bald man’s group had brought two cars. Right now, Li Qian and Wu You were sitting in the second one—the one parked behind the first.
The bearded man and the bald man were also in the back car, huddled in the rear seats and trembling like quails, not daring to move or make a sound.
Noticing the confusion on Xu Yue’s face, the woman with dreadlocks explained casually, "Making a big scene wouldn’t be good."
When Xu Yue heard that, a look of sudden realization crossed his face. "Oh, I get it. You guys are real professionals."
In reality, the woman’s performance was a bit off. Her acting, you could say, was worse than the bald man’s.
But there was no alternative. Wu You had beaten the bald man’s face until it was swollen like a pig’s, so he couldn’t possibly show himself, or it would give the whole game away.
But Xu Yue, already high on his supposed victory, didn’t think twice or look too closely, so he naturally failed to notice anything was amiss.
He followed the woman with dreadlocks to the front car, opened the door, and peered inside.
