Chapter 109: I Can Take on Ten Men
Bang!
With that muffled crash, the steel pipe immediately dented the table.
The young man with yellow hair, clearly a local troublemaker, was still unsatisfied. He swung the steel pipe again, smashing a glass jug full of fragrant vinegar that sat on the table into shards.
The dark vinegar spilled everywhere, splattering the surroundings.
“What are you doing!” Su Qingli shouted, rushing forward.
But Jiang Hao quickly grabbed her, pulling her behind himself.
“Just the two of you? Who’s the boss here?” the yellow-haired troublemaker sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other youths following him began to jeer loudly.
“Brother Huang Ya’s asking you a question—who’s the boss here?”
“Damn it, cat got your tongue?”
“Are you deaf or what? Can’t hear?”
The group of thugs shouted recklessly, brandishing steel pipes and wooden sticks, pointing them threateningly at Jiang Hao and Su Qingli, each one exuding an air of arrogant dominance.
Su Qingli felt a pang of heartache.
That table had just been replaced today, and now it was ruined again.
Plus, the vinegar was spilled all over; cleaning up would definitely be a nightmare later.
Unable to hold back, she snapped angrily, “Who are you people? Why are you causing trouble in my shop? Do I have a grudge against you?”
The leader, the young man with yellow hair, said coldly, “My name’s Huang Ya. These are my brothers, and we’re under Brother Tianlong’s command. Sorry, someone paid us to come mess with you. If there’s blame, blame it on you for offending the wrong people!”
Huang Ya? Brother Tianlong?
Jiang Hao’s expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.
Indeed, Fengye City had an underground gang composed of local delinquents known as the Tianlong Group.
The leader of the Tianlong Group was a man named Zhao Tianlong.
Years ago, Zhao Tianlong started from scratch, making money selling barbecue. Later, he gathered a few friends and established the Tianlong Group, gradually expanding.
Now, the group had over a hundred members, all little ruffians like these.
Their headquarters was the Tianlong Grand Hotel, just not far from here.
He never expected that Zhao Tianlong would send his right-hand man, Huang Ya, to harass Su Qingli!
Why on earth was this happening?
Who had paid them to make a move?
Could it be Su Bingming and Zhang Liping?
Just last night, they had a falling out with Su Qingli, and Jiang Hao had stepped up to repay a debt on Su Qingli’s behalf. Taking advantage of this, Su Qingli severed ties with them completely. Could they be so bitter that they hired people to wreck her shop?
But would they really be so ruthless?
Although Su Qingli had cut ties, she was still their daughter. Would they go this far?
Suddenly, a figure flashed through Jiang Hao’s mind—Pan Yixuan!
He understood immediately.
It had to be that jerk. Yesterday, he came here with Zhang Liping and Su Bingming to convince Su Qingli to be with him.
But Su Qingli had completely fallen out with Su Bingming and Zhang Liping, so his plan failed.
Perhaps that’s why he hired someone to smash Su Qingli’s shop!
Maybe he even hoped that Su Qingli would come to him for help, so he could play the good guy in front of her!
Thinking of this, Jiang Hao’s anger flared uncontrollably.
“Qingli, go to the kitchen. Leave this to me.”
Jiang Hao said immediately.
Su Qingli looked at him worriedly, hesitant, “But… there are so many of them…”
“Don’t worry, they’re no match for me. I could take them all on with one hand tied behind my back,” Jiang Hao said confidently.
If it had been before, Jiang Hao would have been pretending to be tough just for show.
But now, seeing the confident smile on his face, Su Qingli felt a strong sense of security.
Without hesitation, she nodded, “Alright, but please be careful.”
After watching Su Qingli enter the kitchen, Jiang Hao finally relaxed.
Without her here, he could fight without holding back!
Huang Ya swung the steel pipe, making a sharp whooshing sound.
“Kid, you wanna stand up for her? What are you to her?” Huang Ya sneered repeatedly.
“I’m her husband,” Jiang Hao answered calmly.
Hearing this, Huang Ya grinned sinisterly, and the other youths around him burst into lewd laughter.
“Did you hear that? That woman’s his wife!”
“Hahaha, let’s take him down first, then drag that woman out.”
“We’ll do it right in front of him!”
“Damn, just thinking about it’s exciting!”
The thugs spoke one after another, their mouths full of crude and vulgar words.
Jiang Hao’s face grew colder.
He had wanted to show mercy, but hearing their intentions, there was no way he would hold back now.
“Enough whining. Let’s go!” Jiang Hao shouted.
Huang Ya and his men didn’t hesitate either. They raised their steel pipes and clubs and charged at Jiang Hao.
In the kitchen, Su Qingli stood by the window, watching the scene in the front hall. She closed her eyes in fright.
When she opened them again, she was shocked to see Huang Ya—the one who had charged ahead and was closest to Jiang Hao—flying backward, landing on the ground in a pitiful state.
The other youths froze, stunned and halted in place.
Is this Jiang Hao’s true strength?
How did he become so formidable?
Su Qingli could hardly believe the power Jiang Hao was showing now. He was like an entirely different person from before!
In the front hall, Jiang Hao slowly retracted his right hand.
He wiggled his fingers, a very satisfied smile on his face.
That punch felt pretty good.
He had used less than ten percent of his strength and achieved such an effect—it was definitely impressive!
And he hadn’t even activated the Red Jade Ring yet!
“This guy… this guy isn’t simple… everyone, attack together!” Huang Ya struggled to stand up, panting as he said.
At his words, the others stopped hesitating and yelled as they charged at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao raised both hands, and a surge of heat circulated through his body.
This heat wasn’t coming from the Red Jade Ring—it was inherent to Jiang Hao’s own body!
He focused this heat into his arms, instantly multiplying his strength several times over.
Bang!
A young thug struck Jiang Hao’s arm hard with a steel pipe!
