Chapter 362 Applause for the Mobsters (2/2)
Li Biao suddenly slammed his palm on the table and cried harshly, “CEO Ning, I have given you all the face you want. You also had my girl here, as well as my best wine. It’s time you show your sincerity. I ask you to subcontract the sandstone, cement and earth excavation projects to me. Let’s sign the contract now!”
One of the girls in ancient attire brought him a briefcase. She opened it and took out three contracts.
Li Biao had prepared everything.
But Ning Tao did not even glance at the contracts before him. He merely asked Xiaocui beside him, “Xiaocui, where are you from?”
“I am from…” Xiaocui was just about to speak, but she seemed to realize something. She gave Li Biao a glance and found him glaring at her fiercely. She immediately shut her mouth.
Ning Tao said, “Don’t be afraid. I know you have some unspeakable sufferings in your heart. It is the fate that has let us meet. I am willing to help you, but you must be brave. Tell me where your hometown is.”
Xiaocui’s lips quivered, and she finally plucked up courage. “Shanxi.”
“How did you end up here?” Ning Tao asked again.
Li Biao suddenly stood up, kicking a foot at Xiaocui’s lower abdomen. But before his foot could reach her, an arm suddenly grabbed his ankle. His foot seemed shackled in a stone lock, unable to move forward or break free.
The hand was Ning Tao’s. Who else but him would be willing to help a weak girl here?
LI Biao growled angrily. “How dare you…”
But before Li Biao could growl out all his intimidations, Ning Tao suddenly pushed his hand forward. Li Biao’s body suddenly lost balance and toppled.
The three playboys were all stunned to the spot. They never thought that Ning Tao would retaliate in Li Biao’s territory.
Ning Tao had shoved Li Biao to the ground, but he did not even bother to glance at him. He said to Xiaocui, “I want to take you away. If you’re willing, I will. No one can stop you.”
Only now did Xiaocui come to herself. She suddenly rose from her chair and knelt down before Ning Tao, grabbing his trouser leg and sobbing. “Save me, uncle. I was swindled here. I was still attending school. I want to go home. I miss school…. Save me…”
Ning Tao reached out to grasp her arm, lifting her up and injecting a whiff of spiritual power into her body. “Since you called me uncle, I have to take you away and send you home.”
“How audacious!” Li Biao, who had just crawled up from the ground, yelled. “Brothers, close the door. Take out your weapons!”
Dozens of men in Western suits poured in from the hall. The door was bolted shut.
The hundred or so girls in ancient attires all scrambled upstairs. There must be a few more among them who had been conned here, but who would dare believe Ning Tao now with this confrontation?
Sometimes, when you are in a desperate situation, you must first be brave enough to grab a rope and climb up if someone offers you one. If you don’t even have this courage, who can save you?
Only Xiaocui had remained behind, standing behind Ning Tao and shivering in fear.
Li Biao stared at Ning Tao, his expression gruesome. “D*mn it, you’ve been toying with me since the start. Great, just great. If I don’t kill you tonight, I will change my surname! Brothers, first break his legs!”
Spotty suddenly dashed up, brandishing a steel pipe in his hand and smashing it on Ning Tao’s head.
Ning Tao did not dodge. He merely stared at Spotty with an expressionless face.
Pow!
The steel pipe had smashed on Ning Tao’s head. There was a dull thud and the pipe rebounded. It appeared not to have hit his head, but a car tire.
The steel pipe flew away, yet there was not a single wound on Ning Tao’s head.
“I don’t believe I can’t kill you,” Spotty cursed and suddenly leaped up. His hands holding the steel pipe, he smashed down on Ning Tao’s head again.
“Don’t…” Xiaocui screamed in horror.
Pow!
The steel pipe smashed onto Ning Tao’s head again, this time with even greater power and ferocity. But the outcome was the same. There was not even a wound on his head. Actually, not only was he not wounded, all his hair had remained intact.
There was a deadly silence in the hall.
Song Chengpeng’s eyes had narrowed into a line. A keen gleam flitted past his eyes in that instant.

Ning Tao suddenly cracked open his mouth and smiled. “Have you hit enough?”
Only now did Spotty recover. He retreated a few steps and growled. “Attack! Attack and kill him!”
A mob of thugs clad in Western suits and leather shoes all threw themselves at Ning Tao.
For underworld members, nothing could be resolved without a stick and violence. Either that, or they would need several dozen sticks.
Moreover, they had knives.
The smile on Ning Tao’s lips had intensified.
