185 Gurgle Gurgle (1/2)

The name of the man in the bathrobe was Zhou Yue. If Yao Zhixing had a clear discrimination between love and hate, then Zhou Yue would take offense at the smallest grievances. From a certain perspective, Zhou Yue was no different from Yao Zhixing; they were the kind of people others would not like to have as enemy. However, for Yao Zhixing, it was due to his ability; for Zhou Yue, it was because he was a mad person.

Yao Zhixing would deliver the fatal blow in one shot while it would be endless with Zhou Yue. No one would ever know what they did or said that had offended this guy. In fact, they might not have done anything—if he just did not like their face or they just talked for several seconds too long with someone that he did not like, then they would be added onto his blacklist.

For example, that racer whose car got tampered with. Technically speaking, Zhou Yue should have dealt with Yao Zhixing, but since he knew that he had no power to do that, he moved his target to the people in Yao Zhixing's close circle. Since the racers' cars were used to transport the fireworks and thus their keys had been handed to the workers, there was enough opportunity to pull some dirty tricks.

As another example, Little Brother Ye, logically speaking, had nothing to do with Yao Zhixing, but Zhou Yue heard rumors that Little Brother Ye was Yao Zhixing's brother-in-law. Therefore, without waiting for clarification, he saw Little Brother Ye squatting on the ground to light the fireworks, and he just felt like taking the opportunity to kick at the man's butt.

When Ye Shuang saw this, she exploded. She ran over and completed both actions of saving Little Brother Ye and kicking Zhou Yue with one smooth motion.

”Get up here!” Ye Shuang was still quite angry after the kick. She smirked wickedly as she pointed at the man that was floating in the water. ”Dare to come after my Xiao Feng? Come up here, I promise not to kill you.”

For that instant, the racers suddenly saw Yao Zhixing's shadow overlapping on Ye Shuang.

Yao Zhixing also had no idea what had come over her. Suddenly, he sighed. The fire in his stomach was quenched almost instantly. With a pained expression, he looked at the female figure that stood at the side of the spring, and he sighed one more time. He turned to order the minion beside him, ”…Go and stop your Sister Shuang. It'll lead to too much trouble if this is allowed to continue.”

The minion was reminded of how Ye Shuang managed to take down ten men on Fei He Street and shivered involuntarily. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and chuckled awkwardly. ”I don't have the power to stop Sister Shuang. Why don't you go and stop her, Brother Yao‽”

Yao Zhixing glared at the man. Anthony, however, was quite calm. The smile on his face had not changed. Seeing Ye Shuang preparing to jump into the water to pull the man out, he even had the luxury to laugh. ”Just leave her be. After all, Xiao Shuang is just a girl with no business to take care of. Hitting that man won't cause any negative effect to her business.”

That's not untrue… Yao Zhixing thought about it, and he calmed down. The reason he could not do anything was because of the man's father. However, Ye Shuang did not suffer from this limitation. After all, her family did not have to rely on the man's father's company to purchase the ingredients for their home cooking. Furthermore, the man lost to a woman—Zhou Yue's father would not be so shameless to take issue with a girl.

Therefore, with everyone turning to him, hoping he would stop this altercation, Yao Zhixing also leaned back and stood to the side. He had his hands in his pockets, looking calmly as his rumored girlfriend jump into the water to grab the man and continue the beating. Water pressure did not mean anything to Ye Shuang; the sound of punches connecting with the man's face made everyone present frown. The gathering crowd turned from shocked to frightened. The gazes they tossed at Ye Shuang were filled with admiration. The rumors were true. She really did have connections with both the lawful and the underground worlds.

Only Little Brother Ye knew his big sister had held back. If Ye Shuang gave it her all, the pool would have been dyed red. No wonder she guaranteed she would not kill him.

Therefore, Little Brother Ye was calm. As Yao Zhixing was also calm, the only people who would intervene and stop the fight were distancing themselves from stopping the battle. Anthony even moved to squat down by the side of the pool with the smile to have a courtside seat of the match. Seeing this, all the party-goers felt like their world had been changed.

…

Zhou Yue had run wild in San Lin City for so many years, and no one had dared stand in his way. For those times when he had stepped on someone's toe, money would always solve the problem. He really had no idea that kicking someone would lead to such an unlucky encounter. The opponent's superhuman strength kept him underwater and unable to counter. The key issue was that he had been given no time to prepare, and the punches came flying after the fight was announced.

All around him was water and no air. No matter how hard Zhou Yue struggled, the grip over his neck refused to budge, keeping him stably underwater. Zhou Yue was punched in the body and face, and he understandably choked on the water. The feeling of drowning and asphyxiation weakened his energy, and the fear of death appeared in his mind for the first time. The feeling of fear and regret surfaced. He thought everything could be resolved by money and everyone would eventually bow down to him; he never thought there would come a day when the issue could not be resolved.

Feeling the change in blood flow in the man's neck, Ye Shuang quickly lifted the man out of the water. She gave the man two more punches in the stomach, and Zhou Yue vomited out the water that was stuck in his windpipe. Then, he felt air entering his lungs again—it felt like he had been given a second lease on life.

Yao Zhixing and the crowd who had run over sighed in relief. If Ye Shuang did not stop, they would have jumped into the water to stop her. Beating the man was one thing, but drowning him was another.

”Was that fun?” Ye Shuang picked up Zhou Yue by his bathrobe and asked, ”Was it fun trying to ambush my Xiao Feng? Or is this more fun‽”
