Chapter 10: Don't mess with me anymore.
After Fang Yu left, Tang Mingde looked at Tang Xiaorou with a strange expression. His daughter was very beautiful and had numerous suitors. But when it came to Fang Yu, why did he seem so eager to avoid her?
"Sigh, surely it's because you're too headstrong, making Divine Doctor Fang annoyed..." Tang Mingde sighed.
"I'm not! Fang Yu just doesn't like getting into trouble, that's why..." Tang Xiaorou said, puffing up her cheeks.
Looking outside, Tang Mingde exclaimed, "I haven't seen such an outstanding young man in ages. He's neither arrogant nor impatient, so calm, yet he possesses amazing skills."
"Most importantly, he has a heart that's indifferent to fame and fortune. When I gave him that check earlier, his calm and composed demeanor far exceeded his age."
"What kind of family could raise such a child? I really hope to meet his parents if I get the chance."
After saying this, Tang Mingde turned around, looked at Tang Xiaorou, and shook his head. "Whether it's you or Feng'er, compared to this Divine Doctor Fang, you both have a long way to go. You two siblings need to keep working hard."
Tang Xiaorou had never seen her father praise a young person so profusely. Was this Fang Yu really that remarkable? Humph! Tang Xiaorou was a bit resentful.
"I don't think Fang Yu dislikes you that much. You should communicate with him more and try to be friends. This young man is definitely not an ordinary one!" Tang Mingde exhorted once again.
...
Fang Yu returned to the vegetable garden, planning to pick some greens and head home. When he was about half a meter away from the garden, he noticed a trail of footprints on the ground. Although the footprints were faint on the dry and hard mountain path, Fang Yu could tell that there were at least six different pairs.
That meant about an hour ago, six people had walked towards the vegetable garden. This was quite unusual, as normally no one would come to this small hill.
Damn it, could they be here to steal vegetables? With this thought, Fang Yu quickened his pace.
As soon as he reached the outskirts of the garden, several black shadows emerged from the side and surrounded Fang Yu in an instant. The muzzles of six pistols were all pointed at him.
One of the men in black stepped forward, wearing a smile. "Friend, we just want to ask you a few questions. Hope you'll answer them truthfully."
"Okay, go ahead," Fang Yu said, showing no sign of panic.
"Is this vegetable garden yours?" the man in black asked.
"Yes, it is."
"Were you also near this vegetable garden at this time yesterday afternoon?" the man in black continued.
"Right." By now, Fang Yu knew exactly why these people were here.
"Did you see a woman yesterday afternoon?" the man in black slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, I did," Fang Yu replied.
The men in black exchanged glances, and a murderous intent flickered in their eyes.
"Then... was it you who saved that woman?" the man in black's finger tightened on the trigger, ready to fire at any moment.
"Strictly speaking, I didn't save her. Your companions tried to kill me, and I killed them in self - defense," Fang Yu said with a faint smile.
"Thanks for your honesty. Goodbye," the man in black in front sneered and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet hurtled straight towards Fang Yu's forehead. The man in black was only ten meters away. At such a short distance, no human could possibly dodge!
But Fang Yu merely tilted his head slightly and evaded the bullet!
"Sigh, I already told you that your companions were killed because they tried to kill me. Why are you attacking again?" Fang Yu's voice seemed to float like a ghost into the ears of every man in black.
The six men in black were thrown into chaos. They turned their heads, trying to find Fang Yu, but couldn't see him.
"Bang!"
The next second, one of the men in black let out a scream and was sent flying.
"He's over here!" another man in black shouted and fired.
"Bang!"
Chaotic gunshots rang out, accompanied by screams. In just thirty seconds, five of the six men in black lay on the ground, lifeless.
The last one standing was the man who had asked the questions. After witnessing Fang Yu's incredible skills, his face turned ashen, and his whole body trembled.
He had encountered a monster! He had to escape! Otherwise, he'd lose his life!
The man in black turned to run but saw Fang Yu standing right in front of him.
"Ah!"
The man in black let out a yell, raised his pistol, and tried to shoot Fang Yu, who was now very close.
But the next second, his right hand, which was holding the pistol, was suddenly severed from his body!
The man in black let out a shrill scream and slumped to the ground, sitting there with his eyes wide open, filled with horror.
He had to call for backup! He had to tell Miss Yang that this person was a monster!
The man in black took out an old - fashioned mobile phone from his pocket with his left hand and dialed a number. Fang Yu watched him quietly.
Three seconds later, the call was connected. Just as the man in black was about to speak, Fang Yu snatched the phone.
"Hello."
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"The people you sent have been dealt with. I really hate trouble, so I hope this is the last time," Fang Yu said.
"Miss Yang, this guy isn't an ordinary person. You have to send Brother Bai... Ah!" the man in black beside him shouted, but before he could finish, Fang Yu kicked him in the chest. With a scream, he passed out.
"What's your full name?" Fang Yu asked into the phone.
The other side remained silent.
"Fine, if you don't want to say, forget it. Remember what I said. Don't come to provoke me again," Fang Yu said and hung up the phone.
Looking at the messy scene, Fang Yu rubbed his temples. What on earth was going on these days? He had encountered more trouble in these few days than in the past ten years!
...
In the Yang family, Yang Yinzhu put down the phone, her delicate white hand trembling slightly. She, and the Yang family, had never been threatened like this!
"Who the hell are you?" Yang Yinzhu's red lips were like flames, and her clear - cut eyes radiated a terrifying murderous intent.
Today, she had sent six elite members of the family, and they'd all been wiped out. This was something she couldn't have even dreamed of.
In these two days, she had already lost eight elite members in a row. Remembering the last words of her subordinate on the phone, Yang Yinzhu took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Tell Bai Zhan to come see me."
In the VIP ward of Jianghai City Central Hospital, Ji Rumei woke up from her coma and saw her parents sitting by the bedside.
When Ji Dongshan saw that Ji Rumei had regained consciousness, the worry in his heart finally eased. "Rumei, you're finally awake. Do you feel any discomfort?"
Beside him, his mother, Wei Ling, also looked extremely anxious.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine," Ji Rumei replied.
After confirming that Ji Rumei was in good condition, Ji Dongshan's face turned solemn. "Rumei, are you certain that it was the Yang family who did this?"
"I'm sure. The two killers thought I was going to die and revealed Yang Yinzhu," Ji Rumei said, furrowing her delicate brows.
"The Yang family! Damn them! In the past, our grudges were all kept under the surface. Now they actually made a direct move and even tried to take my precious daughter's life! If I don't avenge this, I, Ji Dongshan, don't deserve to be a father!" Ji Dongshan said angrily.
After a while, Ji Dongshan's emotions calmed down a bit. "Rumei, do you remember who saved you? This is a great benefactor of our Ji family, and we must repay him."
Recalling Fang Yu's skills, Ji Rumei still felt terrified.
"I... I don't know his name... But he looks very young, and he's extremely skilled. The two killers had guns, but they didn't even get a chance to shoot..." Ji Rumei said.
"Is there really such a remarkable person? Is he even stronger than Uncle Wu?" Ji Dongshan said.
Wu Ming was Ji Dongshan's sworn brother, a Xiantian Ninth - rank martial artist with extraordinary strength.
Ji Rumei shook her head. "I don't know, but that person is really powerful."
"Hmm... Anyway, he's our benefactor, and we must find him and repay his life - saving grace," Ji Dongshan said.
...
The next day in class, Fang Yu sat in his seat, looking at Tang Xiaorou beside him.
"Hey, you should keep your promise, right?" Fang Yu said.
"I'll go after class. What's the rush?" Tang Xiaorou said, disgruntled.
She had her pride too. Being disliked by a boy like this really hurt her feelings.
After class, Tang Xiaorou left her seat in a huff and walked towards the office.
Finally, he could stay away from the center of attention and not be in the spotlight. Fang Yu let out a deep breath.
Five minutes later, Tang Xiaorou came back and sat down next to Fang Yu with a sullen face.
"The dean wouldn't let me change seats. I even got scolded!"
