"Whether the things I found are garbage or not doesn't seem to be your business, huh? You'd better stay away from us in the future, or else I don't mind making you miserable too!" Wang Ke finished and reached out to grab Li Ruoxi's shoulder, pulling her away towards the distance.
Xu Jingkai stared angrily at the backs of Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi with his fists clenched tightly.
Seeing that Li Ruoxi left with Wang Ke, he rather stopped worrying about not being able to find the beautiful girl in the future anymore. This was because he knew Wang Ke's whereabouts, which should allow him to find the girl since they obviously knew each other.
"Wang Ke, just wait and see. I will make you regret what you have done today and will make it impossible for you to stay in this antique trading market in the future." Xu Jingkai shouted sternly after the two of them walked a dozen meters away.
"Too noisy!"
Wang Ke gave a cold snort in disgust, not even willing to turn his head around. He went straight away with Li Ruoxi.
Only after he walked out of the antique trading market did Wang Ke take the magic weapon inkstone that Li Ruoxi returned to him and asked, "Li Ruoxi, didn't you go looking for a job today? How was it? Did you find a job to your liking?"
Upon hearing Wang Ke's question, a look of disappointment appeared on Li Ruoxi's face. She told Wang Ke the whole situation that she had encountered before smiling bitterly, "I really didn't expect that no one would want to hire me now. I used to control two listed companies and manage four companies. How could it be?"
Wang Ke frowned deeply. From Li Ruoxi's words, he heard a different meaning.
Although Li Ruoxi had not yet received her university diploma, it would be reasonable to assume that there would be countless people scrambling to employ her with her qualifications if she went to another large company. How came that she spent the whole day without finding a satisfactory job?
Also, the company executives who had been willing to employ her only paid all attention to her beauty?
There was something strange going on!
Did someone do something behind the scenes?
Or perhaps the people of the Li family had used their social connections to secretly suppress Li Ruoxi?
He did not say this idea out loud because this was only his guess. If he had said it without specific evidence, it would not have been good.
"Let me treat you to dinner! See it as a sort of encouragement for you to continue working hard tomorrow." Wang Ke laughed.
Li Ruoxi nodded and smiled, "Okay! I don't have much money in my hands now anyway, so I have to save money if I can. I'm glad to eat this kind of free meal."
As Wang Ke listened to Li Ruoxi's joke, it was clear in his heart that she had been able to handle the pressure that had been put onto her in the past two days. Although Li Ruoxi was actually a delicate beauty, she was strong at heart.
The two of them found a restaurant randomly and finished dinner. They walked toward their house then.
They did not notice that there had been a shrewd young man following them all the time. The young man was that worker in Xu Jingkai's family store.
Hiding in a corner, the young man quickly dialed Xu Jingkai's phone number.
"Hello, Brother Xu. I've been following them all the time! Have you found the people?"
Xu Jingkai's cold voice came from the phone, "Don't worry! Although I have not been in Changji for the past few years, most of my former buddies have stayed here! There are two who are in the mob and they have brought the people to me. Tell me your current location and we will get there now."
"Brother Xu, I'm on the dining street south of the east gate of the antique trading market! That b*st*rd named Wang Ke is walking with your woman, towards the Emerald Court!" The young man hiding in the corner quickly said.
Xu Jingkai on the other side of the phone was extremely satisfied by the young man's sentence of "your woman". He casually said that he would give the young man benefits, and then hurriedly hung up the phone.
A total of eight sturdy young men sat quietly in two vans, each holding weapons like watermelon knives and iron bars. As Xu Jingkai wormed his way into one of the vans, they quickly drove toward Emerald Court.
Five minutes later, with the brakes screeching, the two vans stopped a kilometer away from Emerald Court. It was a secluded street corner with lush trees and stone benches in the shades, and there were not many pedestrians.
The eight sturdy young men followed Xu Jingkai and swarmed out of the van. They quickly surrounded Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi.
Xu Jingkai had a cigarette between his teeth and drew heavily on it, puffing out some smoke rings. He then looked at Wang Ke with a cold smile and said, "Kid, why aren't you so arrogant now? I think you must be really tired of living to fight against me! You didn't expect revenge to come so soon, did you? Today I will let you have a good taste of being ravaged so that you know what kind of miserable end you will get if you don't have the power but still try to save others."
A sturdy young man in a tracksuit wearing a peaked cap with a fierce smile on his face stood next to Xu Jingkai and asked, "Brother Xu, this is the kid who has provoked you? Tsk, look at this cowardly guy with a weak girl-like body. If we had known this beforehand, we shouldn't have brought so many buddies here! I can put him down with a single finger. Hehe, it looks like even losers dare to provoke you just because you haven't been here for years!"
Wang Ke looked coldly at Xu Jingkai and the eight sturdy young men following him, and said indifferently, "Originally, I didn't intend to do anything to you because you didn't offend me after all. However, now that you want to take revenge by such lowly means, don't blame me for not being polite. None of you will be able to leave today."
"Hehe, I've been in Changji for almost ten years and no one has ever dared to say such wild words to me in this kind of situation. Brother Xu, this kid has guts but he's insane. You just stand aside and watch. I'll give him a punch without the help of buddies!" The young man standing next to Xu Jingkai looked Wang Ke up and down a few times and sneered.
Wang Ke turned to look at Li Ruoxi and said in a light voice, "Watch yourself and step back!"
Li Ruoxi nodded, "Don't worry. People like them can't hurt me yet!"
Wang Ke turned around and hooked his finger at the sturdy young man. He said indifferently, "Come on! Don't hesitate like that. Plus, my time is precious and I'm too lazy to waste it on hooligans like you. Let's fight together!"
He intended to finish the fight quickly. Although there were not a lot of pedestrians on street, there were still some. Being seen fighting with others could bring him unnecessary trouble.
"I'm good enough on my own!"
The sturdy young man was holding a watermelon knife. As he spoke, he scurried in front of Wang Ke with a rush. Without hesitation, he swung the watermelon knife down at Wang Ke's head. If he hit Wang Ke with the knife, his head would be sliced open like a watermelon.
Wang Ke turned his body slightly and moved as fast as lightning. He observed and just found that this young man's lower body was weak and not stable, which meant that the guy was not good at Kung Fu but was just an ordinary hooligan. Wang Ke could take him down easily.
With both hands clenched into fists, Wang Ke's lightning-like fist hit the young man's nose when the spirit energy fast operated in his body. In merely two or three seconds, he at least struck ten punches on that young man.
The moment that young man's body leaned back, Wang Ke raised his leg and kicked the young man who was dumbfounded by his fists away.
Like a tiger intruding into a flock of sheep, Wang Ke did not pause at all. After knocking the young man out of the way, he immediately pounced on the others, nimbly dodging the watermelon knives and the iron rods whirring down toward him. Wang Ke swung his fists keenly, hitting those young men who pounced on him again and again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Half a minute later, only Wang Ke was still standing in the fighting arena. Even Xu Jingkai, who saw the unfavorable situation and ran backward, was knocked to the ground by Wang Ke. Wang Ke kicked Xu Jingkai hard in the waist, crouched down to choke Xu Jingkai's neck with his pincers-like big hands, and lifted him up.
"You've got a nerve! How dare you find someone to take revenge on me? Hehe, I really want to know what kind of miserable end I'll get. Come on, boy." Wang Ke stared at Xu Jingkai grimly and said in a cold voice.
Xu Jingkai was looking at the sturdy young men rolling on the ground with difficulty. They were struggling to stand up, but none of them could. His mouth twitched and the fear in his heart reached the maximum.
He never would have dreamed that the young man serving tea for him would have such terrifying fighting skills.
He fought with his bare hands and knocked out eight best fighters he found.
Xu Jingkai felt a heart-breaking pain coming from his body and looked at Wang Ke with fear. As Wang Ke clenched harder and harder, Xu Jingkai almost lost his breath. After ten seconds, his face even turned saucy purple.
"Don't worry! I won't kill you because killing is against the law. I am a good citizen who knows and understands the law, so I will not sacrifice my life to kill a piece of trash like you naturally. Of course, the police can't catch me either if I'm not willing to lose my life for you. However, it's not necessary! It would be better to break your limbs, cut out your tongue, gouge out your eyes, and let you be a living dead man! How's that? My suggestion is good, right? If you agree, then don't say a word. If not, call out." Wang Ke said grimly.
Xu Jingkai was grabbed by Wang Ke and, at this moment, great fear haunted him. He wanted to beg for mercy loudly, but Wang Ke was choking him so he couldn't make a single sound.
Shaking his head a few times with difficulty, Xu Jingkai struggled to break free from Wang Ke's big hand.
Almost enough!
Wang Ke pondered silently before slamming Xu Jingkai heavily onto the ground. He trampled and broke Xu Jingkai's wrists without hesitation. Then he crouched down in Xu Jingkai's painful screams and said coldly, "Remember my previous words. I won't offend anyone if he doesn't offend me. But if he does, I will let him live in fear and regret for the rest of his life. Considering that you are a first-time offender, I will be generous today and spare you once. Of course, I look forward to having you take revenge on me next time."
