Bad luck?
Qu Heng's words, instead of reassuring them, only piqued their curiosity.
In such a short time out, what kind of bad luck could he have encountered?
Qu Heng, unable to withstand their persistent questioning, said with a look of disgust, "I just ran into that Sunzi, Wang Zan…"
Speaking of which, Qu Heng was extremely vexed.
He had just entered the latrine when he encountered that Sunzi, Wang Zan.
He was taking a leak, and that Sunzi was actually standing there watching him.
Just thinking about the way Wang Zan looked at him made him feel utterly uncomfortable, like he'd swallowed a fly.
Upon understanding the reason, everyone burst into laughter.
Running into that Sunzi, Wang Zan, during a meal was indeed quite an appetite killer.
"Alright, alright, stop being so disgusted."
Li Zhao smiled, "How about this, later I'll go with you and teach that scoundrel a lesson!"
Shen Jing, hearing this, immediately said, as if eager for chaos, "If you ask me, we should just find a sack, put that Sunzi in it, and beat him up thoroughly, so he won't even know who beat him, and let him be vexed too!"
"That's a great idea!"
As soon Jing's words fell, Li Zhao clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"Yes, yes!"
Qu Heng's eyes also lit up, "That's what we'll do!"
They immediately agreed, and the others quickly chimed in.
"Don't say it, in all these years, I've never done something like this before. Thinking about it, I'm actually a little excited."
"You're all going out to travel, so doing something you've never done before you leave seems pretty good!"
"Exactly, just consider it a practice run. If you meet people who provoke you out there in the future, find an opportunity to ambush them!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became, each one as if injected with adrenaline.
Looking at their enthusiastic expressions, let alone Su Yourong, even Shen Jing was a little speechless.
How honest were these people before?
It's just an ambush, is it?
Is it worth getting this excited over?
Anyone who didn't know would think they were going to commit murder and robbery!
"Let's eat quickly, and then we'll go stake out that Sunzi!"
Having made up their minds, Qu Heng immediately urged them on.
The others nodded repeatedly, and thinking about what they were about to do, even their eating speed increased significantly.
Su Yourong secretly found it amusing, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Jing.
Is this what they call 'one who associates with vermilion will be stained red, and one who associates with ink will be stained black'?
How is it that Li Zhao and the others seem to have only been with Shen Jing for a short time, yet they've already been influenced by him?
The group had originally planned to drink until they dropped, but now that they had other plans, they immediately abandoned that idea.
Soon, everyone finished eating and drinking.
Li Zhao smiled at Miss Su, "Miss Su, we're going to engage in some petty villainy. You are a young lady from a good family, so..."
"I suddenly want to join in the fun too."
Su Yourong shook her head and smiled, "I've never done anything like this either. Thinking about it, it seems quite interesting."
Hearing Su Yourong's words, everyone was surprised.
Even Shen Jing looked sideways.
A young lady from a good family, going to ambush someone with them?
This doesn't fit her image as a young lady from a good family!
"What are you looking at?"
Su Yourong raised an eyebrow, "You can go, and I can't?"
"You can, of course you can!"
Shen Jing laughed heartily.
Soon, the group left the Precious Delicacies Pavilion and found two sacks, then ambushed Wang Zan on his way home.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, they saw a drunken Wang Zan being helped by his servants, walking back.
Just as the two passed the alley entrance, the group, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately grabbed the sacks and swarmed them.
Wang Zan and his servant hadn't even figured out what was happening before they were covered by the sacks.
"Who? Who are you?"
The servant yelled in panic, trying to struggle, but was beaten into a fetal position by a barrage of punches and kicks, only able to howl in the sack.
Wang Zan on the other side was even worse off. Under the focused attention of Shen Jing and the others, Wang Zan screamed repeatedly, "Help! Stop hitting me, help me…"
Stop hitting?
No way!
Thinking of the look Wang Zan gave him in the latrine, Qu Heng's fists never stopped.
Bang, bang…
A dense rain of fists fell on Wang Zan, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Even Su Yourong joined in the fun, stepping forward and kicking him twice.
You know, the feeling of ambushing someone really isn't bad!
Su Yourong pursed her lips and chuckled, then kicked Wang Zan twice more.
After a brutal assault on Wang Zan, Shen Jing signaled, and the group immediately slipped away.
As they ran off, Wang Zan's servant finally crawled out of the sack.
"Young Master!"
The servant yelled, scrambling to Wang Zan's side, "Young Master, are you alright?"
With the servant's help, Wang Zan, bruised and swollen, crawled out of the sack.
After a brutal beating, Wang Zan was mostly sober.
Feeling the pain all over his body, Wang Zan was furious, and with the servant's support, he stood up, roaring with anger, "Who? Who the hell did this? Come out if you dare, I'll screw your grandmother…"
Wang Zan was almost driven mad with rage.
He had been inexplicably beaten, and the crucial thing was, he didn't even know who his enemies were.
He wanted revenge but didn't know who to seek it from!
"Young Master, those people seemed to have gone that way!"
The servant, full of indignation, pointed to the alley where Shen Jing and the others had fled and shouted at Wang Zan.
"Then what are you waiting for? Chase them!"
Wang Zan roared, gritting his teeth as he pursued them into the alley.
These people only dared to ambush him; they certainly weren't anyone important!
If he found out who did this, he would skin these scoundrels alive!
The two chased continuously along the alley, and before long, Wang Zan, exhausted, fell behind.
"You go after them, I'll rest first!"
Wang Zan leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
The servant looked back at Wang Zan, then hurried forward, quickly disappearing from Wang Zan's sight.
"Bastards! Damn bastards!"
Wang Zan pounded the wall weakly, stomping his foot in anger.
Just as Wang Zan was consumed by resentment, he saw several shadowy figures appear at the alley's entrance.
The figures looked around furtively, deliberately choosing the darkest parts of the alley, clearly not up to any good!
It must be those scoundrels who ambushed him!
These bastards are cunning!
They're even playing 'lure the tiger out of its den' with him!
Thinking of the brutal beating he had just received, Wang Zan's anger flared, and he immediately followed them stealthily.
He wanted to see which bastard dared to ambush him!
Wang Zan thought viciously all the way, not even noticing when he stepped on a loose tile in the alley.
Just as Wang Zan reached the corner of the alley, a large hand suddenly reached out like a ghost.
Before Wang Zan could figure out what was happening, he was knocked unconscious by a chop to the neck.
"Quickly take him aside and deal with him, to prevent any leaks!"
The leader whispered, and two men immediately dragged the unconscious Wang Zan deeper into the dark alley.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the leader called out to the two men.
Under their puzzled gazes, the leader leaned forward and, using the dim light, carefully examined Wang Zan.
"Don't kill him yet! Find a place to lock him up."
The leader changed his mind, "I see this man's build is similar to Zhao Ying's. He can serve as a scapegoat for Zhao Ying!"
