Chapter 294 The Modern Version of the Godfather (1/2)
After he hung up, Xiao Bing walked over to Su Xiaoxiao. Her friends gave him a seat. Then Xiao Bing sat down crossed-legged with a smile on his face.
He stood up and waved his hands when he heard Chen Yuanyuan and Li Wanting shouting his name. He didn’t seem nervous at all.
Li Sikai muttered, “Why does he look so relaxed?”
A member snorted, “He’s just bluffing.”
“Maybe.” Li Sikai pondered and couldn’t figure out how Xiao Bing could solve this. He thought it wouldn’t matter even if one or two men came to Xiao Bing’s aid. After all, the club members were skilled in Taekwondo. Though each one may not be able to fight three or four opponents, he was quite confident in hand-to-hand combat.
Xiao Man was fretful, “Why didn’t he run. There are so many of them. He will be beaten to a pulp!”
“Who knows?” The other girl sighed and said, “I don’t think his relationship with Su Xiaoxiao is as simple as siblings. Besides, I was never told that she had a brother. Could he be her boyfriend?”
Xiao Man looked appalled when she heard that.
The girl continued, “If they are lovers, things will be simple then. I guess he wanted to be a hero in front of Su Xiaoxiao. He doesn’t want to be humiliated. But he’ll still be when they beat him up later.”
That was what most students were thinking, although what Xiao Bing showed just now shocked them. But this wasn’t a hand-to-hand combat anymore. He was greatly outnumbered and his foes were all skilled in Taekwondo.
Some members of the club took a look at their watch and sniggered, “You don’t need to bluff anymore. I think your friends are too scared to come. After all, who on earth wants to be beaten up? It’s already half an hour. Kneel before our President and apologize and we might let you go.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “My friends are coming here by car. It will take some time. It’s pretty late now. Grab a bite if you are hungry, in case that you’re tempted to make an excuse saying you haven’t the energy to fight.”
Roars of laughter fell over the gym. Some began admiring Xiao Bing, because he was still in the mood to jest even in such a dangerous situation, which normal people wouldn’t do.
Xiao Bing looked at Su Xiaoxaio and asked, “Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
Su Xiaoxaio answered coldly, “Whatever there is at home.”
“It’s already late. I doubt if there is anything much left at home. How about some Korean food?”
Su Xiaoxiao said without emotion, “Finish them off first. You’ve made me this long. Why did you have to make that call? You can knock them all down yourself.”
Su Xiaoxiao knew too well about Xiao Bing’s strength. Though he was outnumbered, he could beat the 39 of them like cutting a piece of cake.
Xiao Bing feigned cowardice and said, “I’m scared. There are so many of them.”
Trying not to burst into laughter, Su Xiaoxiao said in an icy tone, “Shameless.”
Li Sikai had a bad feeling when he watched the two chatting. He decided to get it over with right there and then. Though it may seem shameful, he deemed it the safest way to put an end to this in case something unexpected appears.
As Li Sikai was about to strike, he suddenly heard ordered footsteps outside the building. Soon they all fixed their eyes on the door, wondering if these people were really here to help Xiao Bing.
When they saw the source of the sound, their eyes widened. Men clad in black suits began flooding in. One, two, three… They lost count. Then they began to circled the infield. There were about two or three hundred of them, all cold-faced. It looked like a scene from the famous movie called the Godfather.
But that was not all. After they encircled the inner field, the students heard another burst of ordered footsteps. Then came a thin-looking man who was also wearing a black suit. Behind him were countless rows of men in black. They strode in like well-trained soldiers. All of them were even wearing black sunglasses.
Li Sikai swallowed and the other members felt their legs trembling out of fear. One hundred more of the suited men came in and walked to the center of the building at the same pace. They turned to Xiao Bing and found him sitting cross-legged with a smile on his face. Everyone was surprised, including Su Xiaoxiao.
Standing at the center of the gym and under Half-ear’s leadership, they took a bow to Xiao Bing and bellowed in a thunderous voice, “Good afternoon, Brother Bing!”
This really reminded everyone of a scene from the Godfather.
Xiao Man covered her chest with her hands and said, “Damn. Cupid shot me right through the heart. I think I’ve fallen in love with this man.” Her eyes were even filled with tears.
