Chapter 410: Everyone, Kneel Down
Jiang Xinghai sneered, turning his head to look at Liu Biao and his men.
They had stayed for dinner for the sole purpose of waiting for the woman in the leggings to call her backup so they could deal with them all at once.
"Brother Hai, let me handle this."
"No, let me."
Shen Lingyin and Mu Jianni were both martial artists, and with Jiang Xinghai by their side, they weren’t afraid.
The other three girls, however, looked nervous.
"You all just keep eating."
Jiang Xinghai smiled nonchalantly and lit a cigarette.
"Honey, that’s him! He’s about to die and he’s still acting tough. Hurry up and do something!" the woman in the leggings nagged incessantly.
"You bitch!"
For some reason, all the color had drained from Liu Biao’s face. He backhanded the woman in the leggings.
THUD!
In the next moment, he took a swift step forward and dropped to his knees before Jiang Xinghai, creating quite a dramatic scene.
"Honey, what are you doing!?" The woman in the leggings was stunned.
Without a word, Liu Biao stabbed the woman in the leggings with the knife in his hand. "Men, drag her out of here! Await Young Master Jiang’s verdict!"
"Honey, you... I..."
The woman in the leggings collapsed to the ground, blood beginning to well up from her stomach as she writhed in excruciating pain.
Liu Biao’s men were completely dumbfounded by this scene.
’What in the world is happening?’
"Young Master Jiang, let’s talk this out peacefully. A great man like you shouldn’t trouble himself with a nobody like me. I, Liu Biao, am just trying to make a living. Please, be merciful and spare me." As he spoke, the nearly seven-foot-tall, burly man actually began to cry.
This left even Jiang Xinghai dumbfounded.
’This isn’t how the script was supposed to go!’
"Brother Hai, do you know him?"
Shen Lingyin asked softly, noticing Jiang Xinghai’s tightly furrowed brow.
"I don’t."
Jiang Xinghai replied with a faint smile.
"Honey, what’s gotten into you today!?"
The woman in the leggings clutched her stomach in unbearable pain. Once the shock wore off, she broke out in a cold sweat, struggling and wailing in protest.
’Her husband loved her so, so much. How could he stab her!?’
But Liu Biao just waved his hand dismissively. "You fucking shut your mouth! This is the Divine Doctor Jiang! Of all the people to provoke, you had to pick him? Men, drag her away!"
As he spoke, two of his men stood up and began to drag the woman in the leggings outside.
Liu Biao then slammed his forehead against the floor again. "Young Master Jiang, what else must I do to appease you?"
Jiang Xinghai said nothing.
Liu Biao then roared at his underlings, "Everyone, get on your knees! Kneel!"
None of the men in the large, imposing group had expected this outcome, but at Liu Biao’s command, they all knelt.
"Young Master Jiang, I, Liu Biao, was blind and failed to discipline my woman properly. She’s nothing but a magnet for trouble. I’ve wanted to kill her for a long time... I swear, from this day forward, I’ll never let her appear before you again!" Liu Biao’s face was ashen with terror.
"Who exactly are you, anyway?" Jiang Xinghai asked coldly.
"Uh..." Liu Biao looked awkward.
"Brother Hai, you don’t know this son of a bitch?"
"Yeah, I was wondering about that. This Liu Biao guy acts like he knows you, Brother Xinghai."
Shen Lingyin, Mu Jianni, and the others just sneered.
Jiang Xinghai genuinely couldn’t recall anyone named Liu Biao. The man didn’t ring a bell at all.
Liu Biao’s men were stunned as well.
’So after all that, the guy doesn’t even know who Liu Biao is!’
’And not only did he not know him, but Liu Biao had knelt, begged for forgiveness, and even stabbed his own wife!’
"Young Master Jiang, my cousin is with the Central State Martial Arts Department. I visited Central State not long ago and saw everyone there respectfully address you as Divine Doctor Jiang, so..." Liu Biao explained, his face a mask of embarrassment.
"I see." Jiang Xinghai understood now.
Not long ago, he had gone to the Central State Martial Arts Department to demand Spiritual Medicine, beaten the vice-chairman and his cronies, subdued the three great Elders, and endorsed Yan Qingshan as the new chairman.
He hadn’t realized that Liu Biao had been there at the time.
"So, Young Master Jiang, about this matter today..." Liu Biao asked, wiping sweat from his brow.
"This matter today is quite serious."
Without sparing Liu Biao a glance, Jiang Xinghai gestured to Shen Lingyin and the other women beside him. "My friends came here for a hike, but they were set up by two female seniors from their university and your wife. They nearly lost their innocence. You tell me what should be done about that."
"That damned bitch!"
A chill crept into Liu Biao’s heart. "Drag her back in here! I’ll kill her myself!"
"Get out and kill her!"
Jiang Xinghai waved his hand dismissively. "Can’t you see we’re trying to eat?"
"Yes, yes, of course. I’ll go kill her outside." Liu Biao scrambled out of the restaurant and looked toward the woman in the leggings, who was still on the ground.
"Honey, are you... are you really going to kill me? You had a part in this too..."
"Go to hell!"
Without waiting for the woman in the leggings to finish her plea, Liu Biao raised his foot and stomped down hard.
He had only made those vicious threats against his wife to appease Jiang Xinghai; he never imagined the man would actually order him to kill her.
And now, his wife had almost exposed the fact that he was indeed involved in the scheme!
If Jiang Xinghai had heard that, his own life wouldn’t have been worth a damn!
After returning, Liu Biao resumed his kneeling position. "Young Master Jiang, I have killed the main culprit. As for compensation for the emotional distress caused to these young ladies, what figure do you feel is appropriate?"
