Chapter 3 Do Not Touch Me
- At the thought of her brother’s circumstance, Xu Muqing felt her heart ripping apart.
- She knew that with every passing second, Xu Haoran’s predicament would only become worse.
- At last, Xu Muqing nodded in agreement. “Fine, I’ll promise you. But under one condition, you can’t touch me unless I agree to it.”
- Li Hang nodded in return and said, “Before I go, please take your medication first.”
- As they spoke, a nurse entered the room. She looked at Xu Muqing, her eyes green with envy. “Miss Xu, it’s time to take your medicine.”
- Li Hang was so attentive in her matters that he had seemed to memorize all that there was to know about her in his mind.
- Looking at the medicine that the nurse had given to her, Xu Muqing’s rosy lips had formed a pout.
- She had a distaste for bitter food since young, especially medicine.
- At that moment, Li Hang’s voice echoed beside her, “Since you can’t eat it yourself, shall I feed it to you?”
- She was reluctant to take the medicine, however she downed it obediently.
- “Is it bitter?” Li Hang asked tenderly.
- Xu Muqing nodded.
- “Come, open your mouth. I prepared this just for you.” In this instance, Li Hang had fished out a red candy as he prepared himself to pop it into her mouth.
- Li Hang was her life savior after all. It was only natural that Xu Muqing would develop a kind of a special trust in him.
- Even so, it was still embarrassing to be fed with candy like a little kid.
- “I’ll eat it myself.”
- “No way! This candy is only effective if I feed it to you! Come on now, open up.”
- Xu Muqing couldn’t refuse, as she gave in to him.
- Her enticing rosy lips had parted reluctantly, as a row of glistening white teeth was revealed.
- The nurse had been witnessing the entire scene the whole time. At the sight of them, she could feel her heart melting into a sweet, warm puddle.
- Ah! How I wished I had such a boyfriend!
- Xu Muqing fell asleep after taking her medication. Meanwhile, Li Hang asked Liu Yufen softly, “Mother, can I borrow something from you?”
- Liu Yufen was dumbstruck. Mother?
- She had not even agreed to this arrangement, yet this rascal had already began addressing her as mother? How thick-skinned!
- However, she still nodded and asked, “Sure. What do you need?”
- Li Hang pointed to the fruit basket on the table.
- “Why do you need the fruits for?”
- “I’m visiting Black Panther and going empty-handed will look bad on me.”
- After that, he took it and left.
- Liu Yufen and Xu Xiaoyang followed him out.
- They watched as Li Hang’s figure disappeared, left in a daze.
- Where is he going with this fruit basket? He isn’t really going to pay Black Panther a visit, right?
- The couple exchanged a perplexed glance.
- “There must be something wrong with this guy’s brain...”
- ...
- Ten minutes later, at the entrance of Earth Nightclub.
- Li Hang was about to enter the main entrance when one of the hooligans guarding the door called out to him, “Hey, what are you doing?”
- “Who’s the boss here? Tell him to come out. I’m here to deliver some fruits to him.”
- The hooligan saw the basket that Li Hang held and snorted coldly, “If you want to meet Boss, you’d better bring a basket of golden apples! Who would want this trash? You’d better scram before I get pissed!”
- At the same time, the other hooligan pressed closer, standing directly before Li Hang.
- He had stretched out his arms, trying to apply pressure onto Li Hang’s shoulder. To his surprise, Li Hang didn’t budge!
- Cursing under his breath, he swung his fist toward Li Hang’s face.
- “Bam!”
- The forceful assault was intercepted by Li Hang!
- Li Hang’s fingers grasped firmly onto the hooligan’s fist, slowly tightening with every passing moment.
- “Ah! Arg--gh! It hurts! Hurts! Let… let me go!”
- The hooligan glared daggers at Li Hang as he screamed to the others beside him, “What are you all waiting for? Kill this son of a b****!”
- Immediately, several people rushed forward.
- However, before they could approach Li Hang, the air had crackled in bursts of loud smacks!
- All the hooligans had ended up cupping their cheeks, grimacing in pain.
- Half of them had swollen red cheeks while some of them had finger marks engraved onto their faces.
- After that, a 15-year-old teenager had dashed straight into the nightclub.
- In that instant, a 2 meter tall, muscular man had walked out, yelling, “Where’s this son of a b****? How dare you hit my men?!”
- Li Hang scrutinized the man before asking him, “Are you the boss here?”
- “I am Grizzly, the boss around here!” Grizzly lifted his chin as he glared menacingly at Li Hang.
- Slowly, Li Hang lifted the fruit basket and said, “I’m here to deliver this to you.”
- “Ugh! F*** off! I don’t want your trash.”
- Seeing this, it was apparent that Grizzly was not the boss. Li Hang shook his head and demanded, “You are not the boss. Tell your superior to come out.”
- “Huh? Who do you think you are? The celestial god from the heavens? Why would the boss meet someone with the likes of you?” Immediately, anger built up within Grizzly as he targeted his fist towards Li Hang’s face.
- Compared to the hooligans earlier, the force of Grizzly’s fists had been incomparable.
- In the blink of an eye, the assault was in full swing, appearing to be life threatening.
- “Bam!”
- Instantly, the punch was intercepted by Li Hang again.
- At this sight, Grizzly was on the verge of erupting. A young man was seen rushing to his side, whispering into his ear. “Brother, when you first took over command, Boss Tiger said that if anyone approaches us with a fruit basket, we were to call him immediately.”
- “Shit, how could I have forgotten this!” Grizzly slammed his huge palm on his forehead.
- Quickly, he fished out his phone and called, “Boss Tiger, someone came over with a fruit basket...”
- Before Grizzly could finish his sentence, Boss Tiger’s heart was pounding hard, at the message.
- Even without the speaker on, everyone surrounding Grizzly could hear Boss Tiger’s voice shouting, “Where is he?!”
- “Right in front of me. Boss, I will bring him over to you now.”
- Boss Tiger was heard roaring over the phone, “You’d better inform this esteemed guest immediately that I am heading over, right this minute.”
- Instantly, the call was cut. However, another one came right away.
- It was another call, filled with Boss Tiger’s threatening bellows, “You’d better treat this VIP in the best way that you can. If you piss him off even a tiny bit, I swear I will skin you alive!”
- With trembling hands, Grizzly hung up.
- The color of his lips drained, he stammered and asked Li Hang, “Who… who are you?”
- Li Hang smiled brightly. “Nobody. I’m just here to deliver fruit basket.”
- Soon, Boss Tiger had appeared, with his clothes looking a tad bit unkempt. Displaying the utmost sense of respect, he showed Li Hang around Black Panther’s territory.
- This place was a warehouse and also where Xu Muqing’s brother was held hostage.
- Li Hang didn’t manage to gift out the fruit basket in the end. Anyways, Boss Tiger knew better than to take this fruit basket!
- After Li Hang had alighted off the car, he nonchalantly waved his hands at the people behind him.
- “You can all go now.”
- “Understood.” Courteously, Boss Tiger acknowledged his words, bowing.
- It was shocking to imagine that such a man like Boss Tiger, had been the almighty Ning Province dictator and the supreme overlord of his generation. Yet, he had willingly subjected himself to Li Hang, acting like an obedient child!
- If this incident were to be exposed, no one would believe it!
- Boss Tiger gave Grizzly a kick. Together they got into the car and whizzed away without any delay.
- As the Mercedes-Benz sped forward, Boss Tiger heaved a long sigh, quickly regaining his composure.
- By his side, the puzzled Grizzly asked, “Boss, who was that rascal just now?”
- “You idiot! We are lucky that he is willing to let go of our rude behavior. Otherwise, even I would not have lived to see the sunset!”
- With bloodshot eyes, Boss Tiger glared at Grizzly intently. Grizzly could almost feel his heart stop.
- As Boss Tiger spoke, he could feel the lingering fear in his veins, as he muttered to himself, “Things are about to change in this city.”
