Chapter 148 Don't You Think I'm Handsome?
"You guys don't mind, huh? I'm just passing by, I'll walk away right now."
Hao Jian nodded and bowed, ready to leave; he didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.
Seeing this, Gao Jiping also sighed, a clear trace of disappointment emerging on her face.
But she knew it wasn't Hao Jian's fault, after all, most people would choose to back down in this situation.
"Just don't go running your mouth off outside, or you'll pay for it!" Yan Qinghu snorted coldly, and seeing Hao Jian so compliant, he felt somewhat embarrassed to lash out.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll keep tight-lipped, not letting a word out. I know nothing about today and saw nothing."
Hao Jian quickly plastered on a smile, retreating with a bowing and scraping manner.
"Look at him, doesn't he look like a dog?" Yan Qinghu pointed at Hao Jian and burst into loud laughter.
His followers also started laughing, looking at Hao Jian with contemptuous eyes.
Although Gao Jiping didn't say anything, her eyes grew colder as she looked at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian kept nodding and bowing, though he frowned when Yan Qinghu made the comment, but eventually, he held back.
Just then, Hao Jian's phone rang, cursing inwardly at whichever blind fool was calling him at this time.
He looked apologetically towards Wang Hongsheng and the others, "Sorry, big brothers, I need to take this call."
Wang Hongsheng's expression immediately showed annoyance, and Yan Qinghu even angrily said:
"An ugly man acts up, get out of here!"
"An ugly man acts up?"

Hao Jian's expression suddenly stiffened, then he directly turned off his phone, looking at Yan Qinghu with a sneer, "What did you just call me?"
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. What was this guy up to?
"I called you an ugly man acting up. So what?" Yan Qinghu glared, thinking this guy must be tired of living to talk back to him like that.
"Damn it," Hao Jian cursed under his breath.
"You dare curse me?"
Yan Qinghu was dumbfounded on the spot. What was going on with this guy? He'd just acted like a total coward, and now he was bold enough to curse back?
It wasn't just Yan Qinghu, Gao Jiping and the others were also confused. Hao Jian had endured being called a dog by Yan Qinghu, so why was he picking a fight now?
Hao Jian could tolerate others insulting his poverty, calling him a loser, but he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to say he wasn't handsome!
Yan Qinghu had just called him ugly, which was a severe slander to him, akin to a mortal enemy!
"Curse you? I'd like to hit you! How can you not see such an obvious handsome guy standing right in front of you? Are your eyes on your ass?"
Hao Jian said furiously, that guy must be blind, otherwise how could he call him unattractive?
"Handsome guy? Where?" Yan Qinghu was a bit bewildered, looking around to spot the handsome guy Hao Jian mentioned.
"It's me, can't you see I'm handsome?"
Seeing Yan Qinghu playing dumb, Hao Jian got even more infuriated.
"You? What's handsome about you?" Yan Qinghu looked at Hao Jian with disgust, considering Hao Jian's appearance to be merely delicate, and not at all related to being handsome.
Wang Hongsheng and Gao Jiping nodded to themselves in agreement.
"Fuck, you're really blind!" Hao Jian, annoyed, turned his face away from everyone and said:
"Look at my right face, does it look like Andy Lau?"
"..." Everyone was speechless.
Then Hao Jian flipped his left face over, "Now look at my left face, does it resemble Aaron Kwok?"
Following that, he turned around, "And my aged and melancholic back, does it give off a Tony Leung vibe?"
Everyone was completely petrified. Was this guy a narcissist? Was it really okay to tarnish those celebrities like that?
"You see, I've combined so many handsome features into one, how can I not be handsome? You're so cruel to deceive even yourself," Hao Jian said, looking at Yan Qinghu as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Boss, I think this kid must be brain-damaged," a lackey whispered to Yan Qinghu.
Yan Qinghu slapped him right away, "Damn it, did I need you to tell me that? Can't I see it for myself?"
"Kid, I'm giving you one more chance, scram right now, or eat my Lotus Seed Soup!"
Yan Qinghu squinted his eyes and aimed the gun at Hao Jian, his heart also brimming with rage. To think he had wasted so much time on such an idiot, when Gao Jiping came to, they were all going to be dead meat.
"Fine, but then you have to praise me for being handsome," Hao Jian said shyly, stealing a glance at Yan Qinghu.
"Damn it, I think you're asking for death!"
Finally losing his patience, Yan Qinghu pulled the trigger without hesitation, a tongue of flame spurted from the gun, and the bullet shot out with it.
But just as the bullet was about to hit Hao Jian, his figure instantly vanished, and in the next instant, he reappeared right in front of Yan Qinghu.
Seeing this, Wang Hongsheng and Gao Jiping both frowned. This guy turned out to be a Martial Artist as well?
"You."
Yan Qinghu stood stock-still, dumbfounded as Hao Jian suddenly appeared before him, and he was somewhat at a loss.
Hao Jian held down Yan Qinghu's hand with one of his own, preventing him from making any rash moves, while smirking, "So what if you have a gun? I've got one too!"
Hao Jian pulled out the water gun he'd bought for Tongtong from the vegetable basket, and kept spraying water on Yan Qinghu's face, while asking:
"Does having a gun make you tough? Try to act tough with me again, huh?"
Yan Qinghu's face was dripping with water, and he looked as if he were ready to eat someone alive. How had he ever been humiliated like this all the years he'd been around Jianghu?
He had now realized that this kid was doing it on purpose, purposefully making him lose face in front of others!
The onlookers also felt speechless, shooting someone with a water gun, what was he thinking?
Yan Qinghu slapped away Hao Jian's water gun and roared at his underlings, "Are you all just going to stand there and watch the show? Take this kid down and mince him up for me!"
Only then did his lackeys snap out of it, all rushing toward Hao Jian, their cleavers falling in unison.
"Bang, bang, bang."
And then they were simultaneously sent flying outwards, crashing against the nearby wall and falling to the ground, unable to get up.
Both Wang Hongsheng and Gao Jiping narrowed their eyes at the same time. This guy was indeed a Martial Artist!
"Are you... a Martial Artist?"
Yan Qinghu was also taken aback, because before coming here, the Big Boss had cautioned him not to offend any Martial Artist, no matter whom he offended.
Even the most common Martial Artist could fend off a hundred, and some high-ranking ones could even stand against a whole army on their own!
People like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun really did exist, although they were relatively rare!
Take Gao Jiping as an example, she was targeted for elimination by the Martial Evil Hall precisely because she was a Martial Artist, and they had to bribe Wang Hongsheng to administer the Knockout Drug. Otherwise, even if they could take her down, it would require a great deal of trouble.
