After dinner, Qin Yue said that she still had things to do and told Ye Qian to go home first, that she would notify him if she received any news about Zhao Ya. Ye Qian pursed his lips but could only obediently turn to leave. Now was not the time to be a smartmouth or he could get snubbed.

Ye Qian had just left when Qin Yue couldn't help letting out a laugh, then muttering to herself "What a bad joke"

Just when he exited the school entrance, Ye Qian saw from afar two people who seemed to be be bodyguards walk over and approach him. It was already getting dark but they still wore sunglasses, the effect was pompous.

Ye Qian stopped and watched silently the two men in suits approach. "Walk with us, our boss wants to see you." Both of them stopped in front of Ye Qian, and one of them, a slightly robust person, said.

Ye Qian smiled disdainfully and said, "Who's your boss? Just because he wants to see me, am I expected to go? If he is looking for me, then he should come here himself, laozi still has things to do." Ye Qian was a person that eats soft food, but refuses hard food, if the other person had talked to him amiably Ye Qian wouldn't be reacting this way. But they had said it like it was an order, as if he was their servant and they could command him to do anything, Ye Qian naturally did not take it well. Add to that, because Zhao Ya was missing, Ye Qian was in an annoyed mood, luckily somebody was nowhere to be his punching bag, Ye Qian might as well match them.

"You best come with me, so I won't have to make any moves, this is best for everybody, what do you say?" The bodyguard replied. From his tone, it seemed that if Ye Qian did not go with them quietly then they would exert force.

Ye Qian found that he was starting to like these two fools more and more, unexpectedly trying to dominate him, really, they were just giving themselves up for Ye Qian to vent his anger. "What? You want to use force? Let me tell you, this is China, it is a place with law, be careful or I will report you." Ye Qian pretended to be scared and replied in a trembling voice.

The two couldn't help smiling. Not to speak of hitting Ye Qian a little and then bringing him to their boss, in their view, beating Ye Qian up was not a serious matter. "Law? Heng, let me tell you, you best to come with us quietly. Or else, even if the municipal committee secretary sees us beating you up he wouldn't dare yell." The other said.

"Beat me? Oh, I'm so scared oh." Ye Qian clapped his hands onto his stomach, looking very annoying and deserving a beating, anybody who saw him wouldn't be able to help wanting to hit him.

Naturally the two bodyguards were not an exception, hearing Ye Qian's words and now understanding that Ye Qian was mocking them, they became angry. "Fuck, we fucking try to give face and you don't want it. Boss only said to bring you, didn't say what method to achieve it. Even if we beat you till you're disabled the boss wouldn't mind." One of the bodyguard said. "Stand over there, I'll handle this." He said to the other bodyguard.

After speaking, he kneaded his fists, which made cracking sounds, it was as if he was pressuring Ye Qian. But Ye Qian had a calm expression, watching them like he was some idiot. The strong bodyguard roared and swung his fist towards Ye Qian's stomach.

"Fuck me, you guys are really going to hit me. Stop, stop, let's talk it over." Ye Qian pretended he was really scared and was about to run away. He waited until the fist of the sturdy man was about to reach his stomach then suddenly dodged, the sole of his foot lightly and skillfully struck, a moment later the sturdy man was flat on his face on the floor.

This scene made the other guy be taken aback, he only saw the sturdy man rush forward with his fist, then in a flurry Ye Qian had dodged, and it all ended with the sturdy man on the floor. Could it be that last night this guy had used up too much stamina and still hadn't recovered? It was fucking embarrassing.

The sturdy man had a dark expression on his face. He couldn't understand, earlier clearly he saw Ye Qian looking defeated and about to retreat, but then something caught his foot and tripped him, which ended up in him falling down like a dog eating shit. This was really embarassing, from now on that other fellow would never let him live this down. He got up angrily and said, "Originally I only wanted to teach you a simple lesson, now if laozi doesn't cripple you then laozi has the same last name as you." After saying this he brandished his clenched fist and rushed towards Ye Qian.

"Nah, I still haven't gotten married, can't have given birth to such a large doll like you." Ye Qian said as he ran all over the place. The sturdy man was filled with resentment as he chased after Ye Qian from behind. But even though it seemed that Ye Qian was not that fast, he still couldn't catch him. Each time he was about to reach him, Ye Qian would suddenly run farther ahead, from beginning to end he maintained a long distance between them. Even more infuriating was that Ye Qian was not really escaping, but just making fun of him.

"I say, what are you doing? Playing cat and mouse? Quickly settle this so we can bring him back, the boss is waiting to see him." The bodyguard on the side said.

Cat and mouse was right, but who was the cat and who was the mouse, it was hard to tell.

The sturdy man was getting depressed, thinking angrily, "You pussy can say that so lightly there on the side, you come here and try it." Of course he didn't say this out loud, or else it would make him lose face. Ye Qian looked like a sorry figure running all over the place, but suddenly he stopped. The sturdy man couldn't quite control his momentum and almost crashed into Ye Qian. Ye Qian pretended to be extremely tired and said while panting, "I say, aren't you tired? Let's take a break." Ye Qian said while getting into a crouch, he really looked like he was about to take a break.

Of course the sturdy man wasn't going to let go of this opportunity, without the slightest hesitation he swung his leg forward in a kick. Just when he thought he had finally gotten Ye Qian, unexpectedly, Ye Qian had stepped aside as if by magic. Instead it was himself that seemed to have been kicked. The sturdy man couldn't help feeling astonished, completely not understanding what happened. In that moment he had felt numbness at this legs that made him unconsciously drop down into a kneeling position.

This scene made the bodyguard on the side become shocked. He didn't know why on earth the sturdy man would suddenly kneel in front of Ye Qian, what kind of play was this.

Ye Qian naturally knew what happened, earlier he was not just fooling around, he had thrown a rock towards the acupuncture points at the guy's legs. Seeing the sturdy man who had dropped down because of him, Ye Qian said blankly, "Oh! What happened? You don't have to kneel, as long as you know you did wrong, you don't have to kneel for me."
