Chapter 121: Chapter 115 Let’s Get a Room! (4th update, asking for monthly votes!)
Seeing a group of people rush up, Xun Xiangxiang screamed. Although she had seen many fights, the sight of more than twenty knives gleaming under the lights made it hard for her to keep her eyes open. Fear filled her heart.
Although she knew the Military Doctor could fight, she wasn’t sure how skilled he was. Even Liang Feng of the Fei Feng Gang would avoid confronting twenty knives head-on, especially with her as a burden.
Xiao Lin didn’t even consider these small-time thugs worth his attention. Before they reached him, he immediately pulled Xun Xiangxiang to one side of the wall. Fortunately, there was an electric pole next to the wall, which prevented them from being surrounded on three sides. Even with their numbers, at most five or six could attack simultaneously next to the wall. Xiao Lin didn’t want to waste too much time. As they were rushing forward, he steadily advanced and delivered an incredibly fast sweeping kick. Those surrounding thugs had no martial arts skills to speak of—they were just relying on their numbers and a bit of brute strength.
The six people hit by Xiao Lin’s sweep immediately fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Taking advantage of the moment of stunned disbelief, Xiao Lin delivered another swift kick, knocking down another group.
With two kicks, thirteen people lay on the ground, crying out in agony.
The nearby thugs were not only stunned but even Biaozi, watching from the periphery, stood with his mouth agape. This wasn’t just skillful fighting—it was like a meat grinder. No matter how many approached, they couldn’t withstand a single sweep of his leg.
"What, still not coming up?" Xiao Lin’s lips curled into a faint smile. These small-time thugs were even weaker than he imagined.
As soon as Xiao Lin spoke, Biaozi was the first to react. He gritted his teeth, immediately pulled out a pistol from his waist, and shouted, "Spread out! I don’t believe he can be faster than a bullet!"
"I definitely can’t be faster than a bullet!" Facing Biaozi’s pistol, Xiao Lin acted as if he was accustomed to such situations, showing no sign of fear and appearing even more relaxed.
"You forced me!" Biaozi gritted his teeth, ready to shoot, when suddenly he felt intense pain in his wrist. The pistol fell to the ground before he could pull the trigger.
"I said, I can’t be faster than a bullet, but in the time you take to shoot, I could kill you seven times!" Xiao Lin said calmly, then strode forward with Xun Xiangxiang to stand before Biaozi.
At this moment, Xun Xiangxiang couldn’t believe what she was seeing, or the gun that had fallen beside Biaozi. She swallowed hard; she had never imagined such clean and swift combat techniques.
The other uninjured thugs, witnessing this scene, immediately dropped their knives and fled into the woods. If they didn’t run now, they’d be waiting for death. They didn’t even dare look back, too terrified by this young man’s prowess.
Biaozi wanted to run, but his legs seemed frozen. He had never encountered someone like this—he wasn’t human! How could anyone move so fast?
"Tell me, who sent you?" Xiao Lin asked calmly.
"Young Master Qu..." Biaozi wasn’t a Deadpool; he was just doing this for money. Seeing Xiao Lin’s strength, he dared not hide anything.
"Qu Haobo?" Xiao Lin muttered a name calmly, but his anger intensified. He raised a hand and knocked Biaozi unconscious.
"M-Military Doctor... what do we do now?" Xun Xiangxiang stammered. The scene was too shocking. In almost no time, the enemy didn’t even have a chance to draw their knives, and thirteen were down, including the one who was about to shoot.
"So now you’re scared?" Xiao Lin, hearing Xun Xiangxiang stutter, knew she was frightened. His anger at her antics tonight dissipated a little.
"Who’s scared? Hmph, I’m not afraid. I know martial arts too, okay?" Xun Xiangxiang came to her senses. The Military Doctor had won, so why be scared? What’s the need to be afraid? The thought of it inexplicably excited her. She might only get to see such a scene once in her lifetime.
Xiao Lin paid no heed to Xun Xiangxiang and walked to the side, took out his phone, and called Director Lin of the Yanjing City Bureau. He mainly interacted with Director Lin and was the only one who knew his identity, so it was best for him to send people to handle this.
The call connected, and Xiao Lin explained the situation. Seeing it was Xiao Lin’s number, Director Lin quickly answered. After hearing Xiao Lin’s account, Director Lin felt a bit embarrassed. Xiao Lin seemed quite capable of causing a stir. How come in only two or three days, he’s always encountering these fights?
However, Director Lin didn’t dare delay Xiao Lin’s request and quickly agreed to send someone over.
The Yanjing City Bureau moved swiftly. In less than ten minutes, the sound of sirens echoed from a distance. Hearing the sirens, Xiao Lin told Xun Xiangxiang, "Let’s go. The police can handle this!" As for Qu Haobo, mentioned by Biaozi, Xiao Lin didn’t take it seriously. The priority now was to settle the matter with the great god Xun Xiangxiang.
Xun Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Lin curiously, not understanding, but she didn’t ask questions. She obediently followed Xiao Lin, and before long, they reached the car.
"Tell me, where do you want to go now? I’ll take you there!" Xiao Lin asked casually.
Xun Xiangxiang suddenly blurted out, "Military Doctor, I want to learn martial arts from you, can I be your apprentice?"
"As long as your stepmother agrees, no problem!" Xiao Lin didn’t reject Xun Xiangxiang’s request to be his apprentice, but the condition he raised was practically a refusal.
"It’s almost the same as being refused!" Xun Xiangxiang mumbled.
"What, you don’t know where to stay after coming out?" Xiao Lin wasn’t foolish enough to follow Xun Xiangxiang’s train of thought. He asked multiple times, but Xun Xiangxiang always had an excuse to change the topic or not answer.
"I was just joking, who knew you’d take it seriously!" At this point, Xun Xiangxiang felt quite wronged, as though saying how could you be so naive to believe that, Military Doctor.
"..." Xiao Lin looked at Xun Xiangxiang helplessly. "Since you don’t know where to go, I’ll take you back!" His tone was indisputable, as he started the car immediately.
"I don’t want to! I won’t go, I won’t go back, if you dare take me back, I’ll hate you for life, Military Doctor!" Xun Xiangxiang suddenly threatened viciously, then, seeing Xiao Lin’s expressionless face, tears started streaming down her face. She pleaded in a tearful, coquettish voice, "Military Doctor, I finally got out, how could I not play for a few days to make up for your hard work tonight? How about going to your place?"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at Xun Xiangxiang. Xia Xue at home had just managed to not be mad anymore, and he was supposed to take a beautiful young lady back home in the middle of the night? Xiao Lin wasn’t that silly. He already regretted what he did tonight; taking Xun Xiangxiang back would be courting death.
"Why don’t we go to a bar for a drink? We barely drank anything at that party the other night, and I haven’t been to a bar for a long time!" Xun Xiangxiang continued suggesting.
Xiao Lin said nothing, pretending not to hear what Xun Xiangxiang said. However, the car wasn’t heading towards the villa area, which secretly relieved Xun Xiangxiang. She became more talkative, chattering like a little bird.
Xun Xiangxiang made many suggestions, such as going to karaoke, climbing Yanshan, or taking a night tour of the Yan River. The Military Doctor ignored her as if he didn’t hear. After a while, Xun Xiangxiang suddenly shouted: "Military Doctor, you aren’t taking me to get a hotel room, are you?" Xun Xiangxiang’s words were absolutely shocking, but given that by now Xiao Lin had already stopped at a hotel entrance, it was understandable why she would think that.
"Hmm, get a room? Didn’t you want to have fun? We’ll get a room and have fun, how about that?" Xiao Lin looked at Xun Xiangxiang with disdain, provoking her a bit.
Xun Xiangxiang’s heart suddenly raced; she didn’t expect the Military Doctor to say such a thing. Then she laughed sweetly, "Sure, who’s afraid of whom? Get a room then. If I have such an amazing boyfriend, my stepmother would definitely praise me!"
After hearing Xun Xiangxiang say that, Xiao Lin got out of the car first. Xun Xiangxiang was taken aback, and felt nervous. She wasn’t too young or too old, almost eighteen. If not for staying at home for a whole year because of her father’s passing, she would be in college by now. In today’s open society, many girls in her class already had boyfriends and had talked about such matters privately.
Xun Xiangxiang liked Xiao Lin deep down, otherwise, she wouldn’t have let things develop from a joke to this. However, she also hesitated, looking at Xiao Lin, and said, "Isn’t this developing a bit too fast?"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes again and said nothing, walking straight to the hotel lobby. This time, Xiao Lin wasn’t as apprehensive as before and remembered to bring his wallet. He requested a deluxe single room, ignoring whether Xun Xiangxiang followed or not, and asked the bellboy to lead him upstairs.
Xun Xiangxiang didn’t object, following behind Xiao Lin like a guilty little wife, feeling apprehensive yet slightly delighted, her emotions conflicted.
As for the comments from the receptionists, Xiao Lin pretended not to hear them.
The bellboy opened the room door, handed over the key, and left politely, sensibly closing the door as he left. Only Xun Xiangxiang and Xiao Lin were left in the room.
At this point, Xun Xiangxiang felt guilty, becoming unusually silent since entering the hotel, unlike her chirpy self before.
Xiao Lin glanced at Xun Xiangxiang, "Are you satisfied now?"
Xun Xiangxiang looked up at Xiao Lin; she suddenly felt like crying, without knowing why!
"Didn’t you want to have fun? Then...!" Xiao Lin raised his hand towards Xun Xiangxiang: "Let’s have some fun!"
"Ah, Military Doctor... what are you going to do?" Xun Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Lin in horror. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthlies. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
