“Okay, let’s begin!”
Just after the whisper, Ding Ning suddenly began hitting Tang Chengdong, who was kicked and flew backward.
“Ah…”
All the people were stunned. They did not know why Ding Ning turned hostile so quickly and fought without giving a sign.
“Beat, beat them, don’t let anyone of them leave here today!”
Tang Chengdong covered her lower belly with his hands, showing his teeth because of the pain. He looked ferocious and roared angrily.
“Boom!” Hearing the order, all the members of the Small Swords Society had no time to think about what happened and charged fearlessly.
Zhang Haifeng and Wu Xian were confused. “The negotiation was friendly just now, but how come the fight began so quickly?”
Since the fight already began, they could not take into account the aftereffects. Wielding the beer bottles in their hands, they were ready to charge and risk their lives to fight.
“Two of you just stay put to protect these ladies, I will deal with them.”
Taking one in each hand, Ding Ning threw his two friends to the corner where the three ladies huddled.
Then, he turned and charged at the members of the Small Swords Society. With a few moments of messy cracking sounds, all the strong men fell on the floor because no one could fight with him for one round. They held their arms or legs, screaming.
Like tides, the society members from outside the box rushed in, aiming at Ding Ning like the moss flying into the flame. They never stopped.
Ding Ning’s friends glared, ready to charge and help. Now, seeing Ding Ning was untouched and could fight them all with his personal strength, they felt relieved at once.
Zhang Haifeng looked naive and muttered, “Big brother wanted to show off. That’s why he did not want us to fight.”
“Showing off also needs ability.” Wu Xian disagreed largely, his eyes full of admiration. He stared at Ding Ning’s back, which was like the back of the god of war.
Zhang Haifeng admired and said, “If I had big brother’s ability, I would show off everywhere, and beautiful ladies would definitely throw themselves into my arms.”
“Oh, you want to show off and also hope to date beautiful ladies. It seems that you have a great dream. ”
As an eccentric voice came, Zhang Haifeng felt the pain in his ear. It was Liu Wenjing who took his ear and turned it repetitively.
He showed his teeth out of the pain and begged miserably, “It’s my fault, and I will never dare to think like that. It’s enough for me to only have you, and you are the most beautiful lady.”
“What do you mean? If Wenjing is the most beautiful one, are we all ugly?”
Song Xiaoyu was unhappy, flushed, and spoke angrily.
Zhao Jingjing also stared at Zhang Haifeng with anger, which made him feel quite miserable. Instantly, he smiled flatteringly and spoke eloquently in a licking-boots tone, “Impossible, you are all exceptionally beautiful ladies.”
Realizing Liu Wenjing was not happy, Zhang Haifeng took her hands with his long-forged thick skin as his shield, saying emotionally, “I will only choose you no matter how many beauties there are, and no matter how beautiful other ladies are, my Wenjing will be the most beautiful one in my heart forever. This is what ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ means.”
Liu Wenjing’s beautiful face turned a little red. She snapped, “Your tongue is too oily.”
“My too oily tongue is only reserved for you.”
Zhang Haifeng felt shameless and spoke with his extremely thick skin, but Liu Wenjing appreciated his reaction, and leaned against his shoulder like a cute bird, smiling with happiness.
“Show off your love in public. It is disgusting!”
Zhao Jingjing and Song Xiaoyu showed the expression that they felt sick, but they finally forgave him.
Zhang Haifeng swept off his cold sweat secretly and muttered inwardly, “Beautiful women are more ferocious than tigers.”
The stressful atmosphere became relaxing after their playful disputes.
They were relieved and sat down neatly on the sofa. As they ate sunflower seeds while smiling and chatting, they discussed which one of Ding Ning’s postures was the most handsome like commentators.
Therefore, the inside of the box looked odd. Dozens of strong men were screaming on the floor, more and more people were charging at Ding Ning from outside, and beer bottles were flying around.
At a corner of the sofa in the most inside of the box, two men and three ladies seemed to be eating sunflower seeds and desserts with joy. They chatted like watching a drama and would clink their glasses to cheer for Ding Ning when seeing something delightful.
Ding Ning was speechless about his five naive friends. “F*ck, I am fighting so hard, but you guys seem to be watching a drama. You really have a brave heart!”
“Brother Dong, Brother Dong, we have trouble. Another horde of men came from outside, they fought anyone they met, and our brothers cannot resist now.”
A manager-like guy made all efforts to push away other strong men and came inside, shouting anxiously.
“Let them appoint some men to resist.”
Tang Chengdong was really worried because he never thought Ding Ning could damage his force. Just after a while, 50 to 60 of his men had fallen, but Ding Ning himself seemed to have not been affected at all, even without a drop of sweat running down.
This was a drama, but they had been damaged too miserably. This was really embarrassing.
That manager put on a sad face, saying, “We cannot resist. As soon as they came in, they fought fiercely and aimed to come here. So far, over 100 of our men have fallen.”
“How many people do they have?”
Tang Chengdong was shocked at once and asked hurriedly.
“I didn’t see clearly. Ten at most, or even fewer.”
The manager swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of fear. He swore inwardly, “I will lose no time to resign tomorrow. This is too scaring.”
Tang Chengdong’s expression changed, and he said peacefully, “Take me to have a look.”
He stood up instantly and walked to the outside, and the manager felt desperate. “Boss, you want to go to hell, but I don’t.”
But Tang Chengdong’s power still threatened him. No matter how bold he was, but he did not dare to disobey his boss’s order, and he had to fearfully lead the way ahead of his boss.
Tang Chengdong did not walk downstairs but stood at the stair entrance of the third floor, watching the lobby of the first floor. He saw that seven muscular men only dressed in tight vests were fighting in the circle of the hundreds of his men.
As the seven men attacked, the sworn brothers of the Small Swords Society with outstanding fighting abilities he used to be proud of had become a flock of little sheep, who could not resist at all, screaming.
A different look shone in Tang Chengdong’s eyes. Compared with others, he had much sharper eyes. Even though the seven guys were stronger than he was, they were not much stronger.
But the positions they held were interesting. They formed a matrix somewhat like the Big Dipper, with each one working, defending, functioning, and saving strength with another.
With such a matrix that improved their power, none of them had been injured so far, and they had not even sweated at all.
“How about it? How about my sworn brothers?”
Suddenly, Ding Ning’s voice came to his ears. Tang Chengdong was startled and looked at him shockingly. “How did you come here?”
“All your brothers have fallen. No challenge for me.”
Ding Ning lit up a cigarette calmly, took a deep drag comfortably, and puffed wisps of blue smoke.
“All, all of them?”
Tang Chengdong seemed to have seen a ghost and looked like a man with dementia. “That is 200 brothers. All fell like this?”
“Don’t worry! I didn’t hurt them that much. I just made them lose their fighting ability temporarily, and they will recover in half an hour.”
Ding Ning thought Tang Chengdong was worried about his subordinates and comforted him sincerely.
“What should we do now? We have been seen by them. Is this drama a failure?”
Tang Chengdong asked with worry.
“It doesn’t matter. We don’t need to play anymore. We have rescued Black Dragon’s fiancée, and let them stop fighting.”
Ding Ning did not expect their show to be believed by others, for there must be undercover agents from the Axe Gang inside the Small Swords Society.
He played the show because he wanted to threaten Tang Chengdong and spare time to rescue Black Dragon’s fiancée by the way.
“Rescued? When? The Blessing Gathering Club is the headquarters of Yang Kaishan, and there are 500 to 600 men of the Axe Gang at least.”
Stunned, Tang Chengdong asked incredulously.
Ding Ning patted him on the shoulder and gave an unfathomable smile. “In your eyes, it is a dangerous place, but it is merely a piece of cake for our Master Yun.”
“Who is exactly Master Yun? He has so much power!”
Tang Chengdong wore an admiring look and muttered.
“Master Yun, he is really powerful. You are bound to be shocked.”
Ding Ning blinked at him and smiled mischievously. Mr. Tang would be surprised when he found that the legendary Master Yun was Ling Yun. Ding Ning expected it to happen as he thought about it.
When the two men shouted to stop fighting, the fight finally ended. Fortunately, before the fight began, the customers had been politely asked to leave, and the business had been stopped running. Otherwise, there would have been more serious trouble.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The roller door was knocked on heavily, and Tang Chengdong turned to Ding Ning with confusion.
“Ding Ning waved his hand and said, “It’s my brother.”
Tang Chengdong asked a man to open the roller door, and a muscular man giving off a brave, bloody air with a fainted girl on his back walked in.
“You suffered!”
Ding Ning smiled sincerely, waving to Lu Zhan.
“Not at all. This is nothing.”
Lu Zhan smiled peacefully as if the Axe Gang were not a dangerous place but his home, and rescuing a person was as easy as eating and drinking.
But the truth was that beneath the peaceful face was a heart full of stormy waves. With the mysterious panther and the giant golden eagle, if he had not rescued a person, he would have lost the qualifications of being a special force instructor.
“My boss is a genius. The panther and golden eagle are like humans. After entering the Blessing Gathering Club, it began attacking the Axe Gang’s men to attract others’ attention.
“And that shockingly large golden eagle carried me and flew in. I easily beat two guards to pass over and rescued the girl smoothly.”
“Qiuying!”
Black Dragon came out on the back of a society brother. Seeing the girl on Lu Zhan’s back, he couldn’t help crying out of excitement and screamed.
“She is fine and only fainted because of shock.”
Lu Zhan spoke calmly and put her down. Anyway, he could not say he made her faint on purpose to cover up the golden eagle’s secret.
His boss exposed the secret of the golden eagle and panther to him, and that proved he trusted him enough. The trust made his heart feel warm, and he was so moved that he was willing to die for his boss.
He decided that if his boss did not give him the order, he would not even tell the secret to his other comrades-in-arms including Xiaoniu. It had nothing to do with betrayal, but it showed his loyalty.
He believed that Xiaoniu and others would understand him later. After all, obedience is the first duty of a soldier. This principle had long been carved into their bones.
Previously, they swore fealty to the nation, but now to Ding Ning.
Therefore, they would perform their tasks meticulously according to their boss’s orders. As long as these orders did not violate the bottom line of their moral standards or sell the profits of the nation, they would never disobey their boss’s orders.
“Well, everyone worked hard and go home now. Brother Dong, please follow me with Black Dragon.”
Ding Ning greeted Xiaoniu and others, asking them to leave first. Then, he turned to Tang Chengdong and spoke to him.
“Okay!”
Tang Chengdong was somewhat confused about the relationship between Ding Ning and his men including Xiaoniu. Their look at Ding Ning was fanatical. They were not like sworn brothers, or friends, or much less than a boss and his employees.
Their admiration was more like the one between an idol and his fans, but it was not completely like that. It seemed to contain unspeakable gratitude and trust. In a word, that feeling was weird.
