Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Duan Yanran
Under Guo Cong's command, the more than twenty brothers he brought with him swarmed forward, targeting Ling Tianyu directly.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yaozu stepped forward again, blocking in front of Ling Tianyu and his group, and the more than twenty men all came to a grinding halt.
They recognized Zhang Yaozu. Each time their boss, Master Cong, brought them over, Zhang Yaozu would welcome them. Naturally, they became familiar. If they hurt him, things would get troublesome.
"What are you dummies waiting for? Fight!" Guo Cong saw his men standing there stupidly and couldn't help feeling irritated. Zhang Yaozu doesn't even acknowledge him, so why should they?
All of them had no choice but to make a move, taking out daggers from behind their waists and heading towards Ling Tianyu, consciously ignoring Zhang Yaozu.
It was still somewhat of a face-saving gesture for Zhang Yaozu; otherwise, he'd have been the first casualty.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
Ling Tianyu didn't retreat at all; with his right hand, he grabbed the bald head who attacked first, broke his wrist holding the dagger with one hand, and then gave a hard kick.
The bald head didn't even have time to scream from the pain of his broken wrist before he got knocked out by the kick.
"You guys, back off!" Ling Tianyu told Dongfang Yan and the others, then started swinging the unconscious bald head in his hands, flinging it directly at the guys coming at him from behind.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Damn! My nose!"
"My hand!"
"..."
A chorus of anguished cries rose as eight men got hit, all squatting on the ground, writhing in pain. If the bald head could see his own body being used as a weapon by Ling Tianyu, he'd probably die of anger.
"Bang!"
Ling Tianyu dropped the unconscious bald head and looked at the few remaining, then raised his head to look at this so-called Master Cong. Since he came looking for trouble, he might as well stay.
And you, Qin Tianyi, to think that breaking your husband's legs was lenient, and sparing his life was giving you face.
"Attack me!" Guo Cong didn't expect Ling Tianyu to be so formidable, disabling nine of his brothers in an instant. He had truly underestimated him.
"Bang! Bang!"
The remaining ones, who had some fight in them, all charged with their daggers.
Unfortunately, they were beaten by Ling Tianyu, left in disarray, unable to stand up again.
"Damn it! Attack, will you?!" Guo Cong watched the scene before him, panicking. How could so many brothers fail to take down one bratty kid, what were they even good for? He glared furiously at the last standing brother.
"Ahh!" The last man, with scars on his face, watched all of his brothers fall, terror already gripping his heart, but he couldn't ignore the boss's order. Gritting his teeth and bellowing to embolden himself, he prepared to charge forward.
"Pfft!"
"Sister!" What nobody expected happened; the scar-faced man, holding the dagger with a reverse grip, swung his arm backward, but the swing was too wide, and the dagger ended up stabbing a girl passing by behind him.
Everyone watching the scene was stunned. What are they doing fighting here? Why would someone pass by from behind?
However, it seemed that the entrance to the hall was filled by his men, and the only way through was to take a detour from the side.
"What are you doing?!" The girl who got stabbed's sister pushed the scar-faced man away, pressing on the wound for her sister.
"My God!" When everyone saw who the stabbed girl was, their eyes bulged in disbelief. What was she doing here?
"Quick, quick, quick, get Old Zhang to call an ambulance," Nan Feng was the first to react, rushing over. It was Duan Yanran.
Northern Sea's most famous beauty, how could she be dining here?
"Duan Yanran!" Ling Tianyu also saw her and remembered her; after all, he met her at the auction. She was sitting quietly in a corner, with an expression that kept people at bay.
Ling Tianyu, however, wasn't particularly concerned about her presence; right now, he had Guo Cong to deal with.
"Why is Duan Yanran here?"
"I have no idea."
"Duan Yanran? That's Duan Yanran!?" Yang Tingfei found it unbelievable that he had actually met the most coveted beauty of Northern Sea.
"Exactly, our Northern Sea's renowned genius lady, who finished her postdoctoral studies at sixteen and took over the presidency of her family's Mo Yu Perfume Company at eighteen," said Meng Xiaoyun with envy. She was her idol. Although they were both women, Duan Yanran's achievements were the very goals these female college students strived for after graduation.
"What?!" Ling Tianyu was about to approach Guo Cong when he overheard Meng Xiaoyun's words and his eyes widened in shock. She was the very person he was looking for.
"Quick, get her into the car." Nan Feng ordered everyone to clear the way, preparing to lift Duan Yanran up and wait for the ambulance. She might not make it if they waited here much longer.
"Sister, it's okay, it's all right," Duan Xinxin said, pressing a towel passed to her by Zhang Yaozu against her sister's side where the wound was. The dagger had to be at least ten centimeters long, having been fully plunged in, and the man with the scar's dagger was covered in blood.
With such a long dagger stabbed into her sister, who had they offended? They were just here to discuss a deal and were about to leave. Why did their sister have to suffer because others were fighting?
Duan Xinxin wished she could kill the man with the scar right then and there.
"Bang!"
A sound erupted!
The scarred man was sent flying by a kick from Ling Tianyu, denting the reception desk.
"Give her to me." Ling Tianyu urged Nan Feng to step aside, seeing Duan Yanran's pale face and the continuous flow of blood from her side.
"What are you doing?" Duan Xinxin saw Ling Tianyu tearing the clothes at her sister's wound and slapped him fiercely across the face.
Who are you to lay a hand on my sister dressed so plainly? Is my sister someone you can just touch?
Duan Xinxin's eyes were filled with rage, as if she could burn Ling Tianyu alive.
Ling Tianyu felt a burning pain on his face and was somewhat angry; he ignored Duan Xinxin's rebuke and took an earring off Duan Yanran's ear.
"Pfft!"
Using the sharpest end of the earring, Ling Tianyu pierced it into an acupuncture point on Duan Yanran's abdomen. It could only stop the bleeding for the time being; otherwise, she might die from blood loss before reaching the hospital.
"I'll kill you!" Duan Xinxin was already furious at Ling Tianyu's actions, and now he had even stabbed her sister with an earring. Today, she would not let him leave unscathed.
"Get lost!" Ling Tianyu couldn't stand Duan Xinxin anymore. If you don't understand, then don't damn make a sound. Annoying, isn't it?
Thump!" Duan Xinxin, overwhelmed by a sense of approaching death, couldn't hold on and sat down on the ground, her delicate body trembling with fear.
"Xiao Feng, keep an eye on him for me, we will talk when I get back!" Ling Tianyu carried Duan Yanran and instructed Nan Feng to control Guo Cong first; today's incident was far from over.
Although Nan Feng didn't understand why Brother Yu was in such a hurry, he complied, having Zhang Yaozu's people watch Guo Cong until Brother Yu returned.
Ling Tianyu had Dongfang Yan drive towards the hospital. He could only temporarily stop her bleeding; once at the hospital, she would be fine. He didn't expect to encounter her here, let alone accidentally injure her.
Before at the auction, he never inquired about her identity. Had he asked, he would surely have greeted her proactively, considering she was the descendant of the Old Man.
In the hotel lobby, Yang Tingfei and others watched as Guo Cong was taken away, not daring to make a sound.
However, what puzzled them was why Ling Tianyu was being so attentive.
"Li Fei, isn't that your company's president? Why didn't you go over there just now?" Meng Xiaoyun recovered from her shock and remembered that Li Fei worked at Mo Yu Perfume Company.
