Chapter 82

82 2.68 – Mad dog – Mr. and Mrs. Jelly

She hid her hand behind her back. Zhu Cai’s frown increased when he saw the hand which he held a while ago, then at the man who appeared at the entrance.

“Do you want to see my hand?” Bing Shi, with a smile, tried to stall for time.

*Silence.*

She looked down at Xuan Mu’s shoes, “I suppose you don’t.”

Xuan Mu took her arm carefully and stared at the bruised hand silently.

Hearing the rushing footsteps, Bing Shi looked up at those panting men, “Bring your wives to safety. And call a yacht doctor.”

They looked at Bing Shi in confusion, but when they saw Xuan Mu charging at Zhu Cai as if ready to kill him, they ran towards their wives and brought them out.

Zhu Cai was prepared for the upcoming fight. He injured his business partner’s woman. Xuan Mu’s action was logical, but would he let himself get killed? He wouldn’t; he fought back. The room became chaotic, Mrs. Zhu Cai’s shrill voice resonated in the room, while the expensive furniture was being shattered to pieces by the impact of two bodies falling on them.

“Someone stop them!” Seeing those savage kick and fists coming at her son, Mrs. Zu begged with teary eyes as she thrashed around in her husband’s arms, who was trying to read the situation. Their fighting skills were on pair. Still, he couldn’t help but worry.

.....

Bing Shi seemed to be the only calm person in the room. “Don’t worry. I have it under control,” she assured them while looking down at her high heels, trying to hide her teary expression, “I called for help. Don’t try to interfere. It would be bad if another mad dog appeared.”

One man defended and attacked, while the other wanted to kill. Xuan Mu didn’t fight fair; he targetted Zhu Cai’s vital points. It didn’t take long for him to gain the upper hand. Zhu Cai defended his face on time, and that’s what exactly he wanted as he kept kicking that one specific arm continuously.

Everything happened in a matter of seconds; many footsteps were heard in the distance, soldier after soldier rushed inside. Six of them appeared before Bing Shi and saluted, “Miss Bing Shi.”

“Separate them. And take care of the injured,” Bing Shi ordered when a yacht doctor appeared together with her doctor, Dr. Tzu.

“Arghhh,” Zhu Cai groaned in pain, Mrs. Zhu shrieked out, while Mr. Zhu and Bing Shi flinched in fear when they heard it.

Xuan Mu, panting, wiping his nose, wanted to continue but a soldier restricted his movements. “Let go of me!” he shouted, his voice full of madness, “That piece of shit left a mark on my woman!”

Not caring if it was his person or not, Xuan Mu elbowed the soldier’s face. While the soldier held his bloody nose, another soldier took his place.

Bing Shi, seeing Zhu Cai’s bad situation, walked towards Mr. Zhu, showing her bruised hand. All she cared about was Xuan Mu’s future; she couldn’t let it be destroyed. “You would do the same right?” she asked him, “What’s wrong with your son? Is he trying to hurt Xuan Mu by hurting his girlfriend? It’s pretty stupid of him to do it before so many witnesses.”

Bing Shi watched how the soldiers became Xuan Mu’s punching bags. That scene was a bit more familiar as she got used to the sparing between them and Xuan Mu.

Seeing the soldiers and a doctor, Mr. Zhu calmed down and loosened the hold on his wife, who ran towards her son. He couldn’t go after her; he had to take care of this matter, replying to Bing Shi, “I don’t know what came into our son. Their relationship was always on good terms.”

“Maybe Xuan Mu stole his money,” stated Bing Shi while thinking of the reason.

“...” Mr. Zhu looked at the calm woman. “My son is not that stupid to be cheated out of money. What happened?” he asked.

“I accepted his handshake, and he didn’t want to let go... Maybe he thought that he was in a hand wrestling challenge or something?” contemplated Bing Shi, her voice monotonous, they couldn’t tell if she was joking or not.

Zhu Cai chuckled while Mrs. and Mr. Zhu’s faces twitched. Was this the right time for jokes? “Two men are fighting because of you, and that’s what you think about?”

Bing Shi’s face sank, “Do you mean it’s my fault? What other reasons could there be? It’s not like he fell in love at first sight. Oh.” She opened her eyes in revelation like she just solved a big mystery, “It only works if a woman is pretty, and I’m sure he saw women prettier than me. He even injured my hand. I crossed that possibility as soon as it came to my mind. I’m even surprised that it crossed my mind. The answer which makes the most sense is... he likes Xuan Mu.”

“...” Everyone turned their gaze towards Zhu Cai, who bit his lip in pain when the doctor put a cast on him. Putting one and one together, what she said truly did make sense.

“It’s insane what can someone do in the name of love,” standing next to Mr. Zhu, Bing Shi glanced at her boyfriend, “See my Xuan Mu, for example.”

“BING SHI!! STOP TALKING AND COME HERE!” Xuan Mu yelled out loud; he was finally pinned to the ground by three soldiers.

“Mr. Zhu, your son, asked for it; you can’t blame Xuan Mu,” Bing Shi said, her tone serious, “Dr. Tzu, what’s their situation?”

“I won’t,” Mr. Zhu replied and rushed towards his son.

Xuan Mu shouted at the soldiers who helped the doctor to check his injuries, “Let go of me! I’ll turn your life into hell if you don’t let go of me!”

Those soldiers looked at Bing Shi for help. With money, Xuan Mu bought his military force, where Bing Shi’s position was as high as his. In case of emergencies, they could decide on who to listen to. Now, they were in a dilemma, knowing that if they listened to Bing Shi, everything would be fine, that’s how much faith they had in her.
