Chapter 2: Chapter 2: A Deeply Hidden Master
Qin Tuo’s face was terrifyingly grim as he pointed at Huang Mao’s nose.
"Apologize!"
Qin Tuo’s voice was icy and permitted no argument.
"Apologize?"
Huang Mao looked as if he had just heard the world’s funniest joke.
"Kid, do you have any idea who you’re talking to?"
"You do two years in the slammer and suddenly think you’re some big shot, huh?"
Huang Mao’s words made the other punks snicker.
"I’ll give you one last chance. Apologize!"
"Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!"
The coldness in Qin Tuo’s eyes intensified.
Thinking of how these punks usually bullied his parents, a murderous intent filled Qin Tuo’s gaze.
"Hmph! Apologize my ass!"
Used to running roughshod over everyone, how could Huang Mao tolerate such a tone?
With that, Huang Mao raised his hand, ready to teach Qin Tuo a lesson.
SLAP!
The sound of a slap echoed through the entire house.
However, the one who got hit was Huang Mao, who had made the first move!
Huang Mao was stunned!
’How could this kid be so fast?’
"You motherfucker, you dare hit me? I’ll make you... Urgh!"
Huang Mao cursed, but before he could finish, a large hand clamped around his neck like lightning.
Qin Tuo’s eyes were bloodshot, like a furious lion. With just one hand, he lifted Huang Mao into the air by his throat.
BANG!
Huang Mao’s body was slammed heavily against the wall!
In that instant, the entire room fell silent.
The group of punks was completely stunned!
Damn!
’What kind of strength does this guy have? He lifted a grown man with one hand!’
"What are you morons gawking at? Cough, cough... Get him! Kill him! I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!"
Huang Mao shrieked hysterically, his face flushed red as he coughed.
The punks snapped out of it and charged toward Qin Tuo together.
"Son, be careful!"
Behind him, Luo Xianglan’s heart leaped into her throat.
Qin Tuo snorted coldly, his body coiling low like a hunting leopard before he vanished from the spot.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
He took them down one by one, easily knocking all the punks to the ground with movements so fast they were a blur.
"Oww, it’s killing me..."
The floor was covered with groaning punks.
"Heavens, this... this is..."
Luo Xianglan was utterly shocked. She never imagined her son’s skills had become so formidable.
Qin Tuo dusted off his hands and walked over to Huang Mao.
Feeling the pressure of that terrifying gaze, Huang Mao was so scared he nearly wet his pants.
’Is this guy... even human?’
"I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"
"It was all my fault for being blind and looking down on you! Please spare me, boss! Spare my life!"
Huang Mao slammed his head on the floor with loud thuds, and in just a moment, his forehead was a bloody mess!
"Get out!"
Qin Tuo pointed to the door and barked coldly.
As if granted amnesty, Huang Mao scrambled away in disgrace with his crew of lackeys.
Qin Tuo helped his mother back to her room, sat her down, and began massaging her hands.
"Son, you shouldn’t have been so impulsive just now. Once Zhao Peng finds out you’re back, he’ll definitely come looking for trouble."
As she spoke, deep worry clouded Luo Xianglan’s face.
"Mom, it’s alright. I’ll take care of everything."
Qin Tuo nodded, comforting his mother.
The pressure and precision of his massage were perfect, demonstrating a top-tier traditional Chinese medicinal technique.
After the massage, Luo Xianglan felt much more comfortable.
"Mom, your illness was caused by catching a severe cold in the past. It combined with emotional distress, getting worse and worse..."
"I’ll find a way to help you slowly get better!"
Qin Tuo gently patted his mother’s shoulder, trying to ease her psychological burden.
Luo Xianglan nodded and sighed.
"Son, I’m fine. You just got out and must need money. Your dad has a passbook with some savings in it. You should take it and use it for now."
Saying that, she prepared to go get the passbook.
Qin Tuo quickly stood up and took his mother’s hands.
"Mom, how could I use your money? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to get the money for your treatment!"
An unexpected pang of sorrow struck Qin Tuo’s heart.
He helped Luo Xianglan to the bed and had her lie down comfortably.
"Mom, you get some rest. I’m going out to take care of something."
After turning and leaving the house, Qin Tuo’s face instantly turned grim.
’Xu Min, you’ve got some nerve. I went to prison for you, and what’s the result? You chose to betray me and even got engaged to that bastard Zhao Peng...’
At this thought, Qin Tuo’s heart felt like a furnace, about to explode.
’Just you wait, you shameless pair. I, Qin Tuo... am coming for you!’
Qin Tuo prepared to go to the Xu Family and demand an explanation.
The crosswalk light turned green, and Qin Tuo started to cross the street.
But at that moment, a sudden, blinding glare of sunlight hit his eyes!
A solid black Rolls-Royce Cullinan sped toward him from the side, blatantly running a red light with no signs of slowing down!
Hm?
Qin Tuo was startled. His instincts kicked in, pushing every cell and every inch of his flesh to its absolute reaction limit.
The muscles on one half of Qin Tuo’s body contracted tightly!
Half of his body instantly became as hard as a stubborn rock.
THUD...
After a muffled impact, the front of the Cullinan still hit Qin Tuo, sending him flipping twice in the air before he landed hard and staggered.
The Cullinan’s door opened, and a woman hurriedly got out to check on the situation.
Qin Tuo rubbed his shoulder and back. Although he had managed a last-second defensive reaction, the force of the impact still hurt.
He looked up and saw a slender young woman in a black dress.
The woman wasn’t old, maybe around twenty, with delicate, beautiful features tinged with panic.
Her skin was fair and tender like a piece of Mutton Fat Jade. Around her slender neck hung a flawless, emerald-green Jade Pendant that was particularly eye-catching.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Chen Man Ni rushed forward, bag in hand, her anxious eyes scanning Qin Tuo up and down.
Qin Tuo shook his head, indicating he was fine.
After confirming Qin Tuo wasn’t seriously hurt, Chen Man Ni suddenly put her hands on her hips, glared at him, and snapped, "What’s wrong with you? Why don’t you watch where you’re going?"
Qin Tuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed in exasperation. "Don’t you have eyes?" he retorted irritably. "Didn’t you see the red light?"
"You...!"
Chen Man Ni’s temper flared, and she gritted her teeth, ready to argue relentlessly.
Just then, a weak voice of a middle-aged man came from inside the black Cullinan.
"Manni, just give him some money and let’s go..."
"We need to... get to the hospital quickly."
Hearing this, the young woman quickly nodded, opened her purse, took out a check, and threw it at Qin Tuo’s feet.
"Here. Take the money and get lost!"
However, Qin Tuo didn’t even glance at it. Instead, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the middle-aged man inside the car.
From that one sentence, Qin Tuo immediately discerned that the man was suffering from a malignant disease and was already terminally ill.
"Why are you still here? Do you not know how to use a check? You just take it to a bank to cash it. Now you can leave, right?"
But Qin Tuo ignored the check completely and pointed toward the car. "There’s no point in going to the hospital. The man in there has had a severe toxin infecting his lungs for at least twenty years. He’s a spent force now and won’t live more than two hours at most!"
With that, Qin Tuo turned and prepared to leave.
