"Young Master Ren, this fellow has always been a bit slow-witted since childhood. You are magnanimous, so please don't take it to heart. I'll teach him a good lesson later!" Scarface Four said with a smile to Ren Xiang, then winked at Monkey beside him, "Aren't you going to drag him away quickly!"
The reason Scarface Four was still protecting Hao Kai at this moment was not because he was particularly loyal or liked to cover for his subordinates.
It was purely because Hao Kai was skilled and quick-witted, and had made him a lot of money over the years.
He didn't want Hao Kai to impulsively offend Ren Xiang and get beaten half to death.
If that happened, wouldn't he lose a way to make money in the future?
Although others could do the job, none could act as convincingly as Hao Kai, making wealthy young masters so happy.
Under Scarface Four's instruction, Monkey immediately tried to drag Hao Kai away.
However, he didn't expect that after two attempts, he couldn't move him, and then Hao Kai even shook him off.
For a moment, Monkey was stunned, then looked at Scarface Four, not knowing what to do.
Scarface Four's face turned completely grim.
"Heh heh, Brother Four, it seems your subordinate isn't slow-witted, but rather quite opinionated."
Ren Xiang gave Scarface Four a meaningful look.
Scarface Four waved his hand to the surroundings, and his subordinates immediately cleared away all irrelevant people.
Then he said to Ren Xiang, "I apologize, Young Master Ren. I didn't handle this matter well. I'll personally host a dinner to apologize to you another day."
Immediately after, Scarface Four and his men moved to the side, indicating they were no longer involved in this matter.
"Kid, your boss has abandoned you. If you regret it now, just kowtow and apologize to me, and I'll let you go. How about it?"
Seeing Scarface Four move aside, Ren Xiang gestured with his chin at Hao Kai in front of him.
Ren Xiang was determined to torment Liu Yingting, the woman who had caused him to lose so much face today.
As for Hao Kai, he didn't take him seriously at all.
"I don't need your help, just leave!"
Liu Yingting hadn't expected Hao Kai to step forward.
But then, when she remembered Hao Kai's earlier hesitation and the stinging pain on her face, Liu Yingting clearly realized that meeting netizens wasn't a pleasant experience.
So her tone was very sharp.
"I'm sorry, Tingting, I was wrong just now, but now, I'll do my best to fulfill my promise to you, I won't let anyone hurt..."
Hao Kai's words were cut short by a punch to his face from Ren Xiang.
Immediately after, Ren Xiang unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks. Soon, Hao Kai was beaten to the ground.
"Damn it! You think you can play the hero saving the damsel in front of me? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Believe it or not, I'll cripple you today!"
Ren Xiang cursed as he beat him.
Then, he placed a foot on Hao Kai's palm and began to stomp down with force.
"Hao Kai!"
"If you have the guts, come at me!"
Liu Yingting's tone had been very sharp before.
But when she saw Hao Kai lying on the ground, covered in blood and footprints, with his palm being stomped on by Ren Xiang, tears couldn't help but stream down her face.
However, her shouts didn't make Ren Xiang stop.
"Oh, oh, oh, what a heartbreaking scene. It's even more sad than a TV drama. By the way, you like cycling, don't you? I'll cripple your legs!"
Hearing that Ren Xiang intended to cripple his legs, Hao Kai struggled desperately.
However, he was already injured all over and hadn't fully stood up when Ren Xiang's subordinates pinned him down.
Ren Xiang sneered, raised his foot high, and stomped down on Hao Kai's knee.
Crack!
"Ah!"
Hao Kai's meniscus was broken, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Soon, Ren Xiang repeated his cruel act, breaking Hao Kai's other knee.
The piercing pain made Hao Kai writhe on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Hao Kai! Hao Kai, are you okay?"
Liu Yingting hadn't expected Ren Xiang to be so insane, to be so ruthless to Hao Kai as he spoke.
One of Ren Xiang's subordinates lost his grip, and Liu Yingting lunged towards Ren Xiang, embracing him tightly.
Hao Kai's face was covered in blood, and his complexion had turned extremely pale. He looked weakly at Liu Yingting, trying to force a smile.
But the pain from his injuries was too great. He tried several times but couldn't muster a smile.
"I, I'm sorry, I, I shouldn't have, shouldn't have brought you here, Tingting, I, I can't protect you."
Hao Kai managed to say this sentence, repeated more than ten times with difficulty.
After hearing this, Liu Yingting felt her heart break.
Although Hao Kai was just someone she met online, and they hadn't spent much time together in reality.
And when she came here, Liu Yingting hadn't planned on becoming his girlfriend like some people online.
But to witness a lively and cheerful young man from just an hour and a half ago reduced to this state because of her, Liu Yingting felt truly heartbroken.
"Don't say sorry, it's actually me who implicated you. Hao Kai, you are the best friend, and you've done enough."
Liu Yingting hugged Hao Kai, crying inconsolably.
At this moment, she couldn't help but regret in her heart why she had run off with Hao Kai. If she had openly told her cousin's boyfriend that she wanted to meet her online friend for a chat and a drink, how could these things have happened?
For a moment, Liu Yingting blamed herself for everything.
"Alright, stop acting like you're in a play. I said I was going to play with you today, and I always keep my word. Someone, tie her to the car."
Ren Xiang grabbed Liu Yingting by the hair and dragged her away from Hao Kai.
Then, this guy went crazy and ordered his subordinates to tie Liu Yingting's hands with ropes and drag her behind a motorcycle.
Even Scarface Four frowned slightly at this.
This Young Master Ren was going too far. If someone died, he would also be implicated.
Just as Scarface Four was contemplating how to stop Ren Xiang from continuing his madness,
"Boss, someone is driving up the mountain. Our men couldn't stop him."
A subordinate holding a walkie-talkie rushed to Scarface Four and reported to him.
Someone was driving up?
Although before, some people had driven up unknowingly, Scarface Four had stationed many capable men at the foot of the mountain to prevent such a thing from happening.
But today, someone had managed to break through?
Screech!
Before Scarface Four could think further, the sound of an urgent brake echoed not far from him.
"Tingting!"
