Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Kicking Technique"Who are you trying to scare? Even Brother Hu behaves himself around him, and you really think Brother Hu is some small fry? You really donât know whether youâre dead or alive, youâre as good as dead!" Songying simply didnât believe Chu Xiaoyaoâs words, or rather, she didnât want to believe them. She had hooked up with Su Jingguang, of course she hoped that Su Jingguang would be stronger than Chu Xiaoyaoâs peopleâit was utterly impossible for her to accept that Chu Xiaoyaoâs man could be stronger than hers.
Chu Xiaoyao had already read something from Su Jingguangâs expression. Then, with a sly look and an even more triumphant tone, she said, "Believe it or not, thatâs up to you. Feel free to retaliate, and weâll see who ends up at a loss."
Songying screamed, "I think youâre just strutting around under false pretenses. Honey, call your men right now, chop up that guy, and then take this chick away. Play with her however you want, Iâll even join you."
Su Jingguang had been initially startled by Chu Xiaoyaoâs words, but upon reflection, he considered that although Brother Hu wasnât a top-notch big shot in Mile City, there certainly wasnât anyone who could handle him. If there were someone who could make Brother Hu behave, Su Jingguang would likely have known him. This guy who had hit him was wearing common clothes and looked strong, but he definitely wasnât someone Su Jingguang knew, nor had he heard of any high-ranking officials parachuting into Mile City recently, so naturally, this couldnât be some Second Generation Official.
So, at this point, he immediately concluded that Chu Xiaoyao was bluffing, and his temper flared up again, glowering fiercely at Li Yifei, he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, if you dare, donât leave."
Li Yifei, however, couldnât be bothered to argue with someone like him. With a slight smile, he said, "I donât need to prove my courage to you. Whether or not I stay here is none of your business. If you have the guts to keep me here, then do so, but if youâre all talk, then stop the useless squawking."
"Wow, Uncle, youâre so imposing and domineering. I absolutely adore you." Chu Xiaoyao was so excited upon seeing Li Yifei stand his ground that she suddenly sprang up, threw her arms around his neck, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
This took Li Yifei off guard and allowed Chu Xiaoyao to steal the kiss, but in the presence of others, Li Yifei didnât embarrass Chu Xiaoyao, and gave her butt a pat, signaling her to get down.
Chu Xiaoyao, looking smug, looped her arm through Li Yifeiâs, cocked her head at Songying, and said triumphantly, "Bye-bye now, think you can stop us?"
At this moment, Su Jingguang was so angry he felt like his lungs might explode. He controlled a bus line, which had been established through violence, so his crew still included quite a few brothers. However, distant waters canât quench a near thirst. Alone, he certainly couldnât stop Li Yifei.
"Boss Su, got yourself a new babe, huh?" A sardonic voice came from behind Li Yifei, followed by a clutter of footsteps.
As soon as Su Jingguang saw these people, his spirits lifted. He recognized a few of them; although they werenât his underlings, they were acquaintances. He immediately shouted, "Mengzi, this kid just hit me, beat him up for me!"
The group swiftly encircled Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao. Mengzi, a young man in his mid-twenties with a broad build and muscular appearance, looked formidable. He sized up Li Yifei with a leisurely gaze and said, "Kid, youâve got guts, daring to hit Boss Su. You must be tired of living."
With Mengzi standing behind him, Su Jingguang suddenly became bolder. He shouted at Li Yifei, "Damn it, you have the nerve to hit me; Iâll make you so messed up, even your grandma wonât recognize you."
At that moment, Songying smirked and said, "Xiaoyao, you brought this on yourself. If you know whatâs good for you, come over to Boss Su obediently, or else youâll have a rough time in a bit."
Far from showing any fear, Chu Xiaoyao was actually exhilarated. Her face glowed with excitement, ignoring Songyingâs remark. Her eyes twinkled as she said to Li Yifei, "Uncle, itâs all on you now."
Li Yifei laughed heartily, saying, "No problem."
Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao appeared so composed that it made Su Jingguang uneasily suspect that something was off. Yet, with a total of eight men on his side against one Li Yifei, there was surely no chance of losing. He quickly blurted out, "Brothers, if you can sort this out for me today, Iâll treat you to a feast at the Seafood City tonight!"
These guys, generally idle riff-raff, could only afford standard seafood when visiting Seafood City. But dining with Su Jingguang meant they could have whatever they wanted. Wild with excitement, they all charged at Li Yifei with a roar.
Although these men were stronger than the average hoodlums, they still paled in comparison to Li Yifei. Still, Li Yifei didnât want to show off his skills too much, so he simply dodged amongst the eight attackers with Chu Xiaoyao, ensuring they couldnât touch him while playfully swatting at them now and then, aiming for eyes or slapping faces, making sure they didnât lose their fight immediately, but also ensuring they got a good taste of pain.
Last time Chu Xiaoyao encountered hoodlums, she had watched Li Yifei easily defeat them and hadnât been involved herself. But this time, she was right in the thick of the fight. At first, she was somewhat afraid, but after a little while, having not been hit at all, she became bolder. Seeing Li Yifei periodically land sneaky hits on the opponents made her realize the trick. Her little fists also started greeting the assailants now and then.
"Silly girl, thatâs not how you punch someone. Youâve got to avoid the bones, or your hands will hurt."
"Your punches are weak, hitting someone on the arm wonât make it hurt; you need to aim for the eye socket, or the nose, but you canât hit the mouth, as you might accidentally hit their teeth and easily break your hand." As he spoke, Li Yifei landed another punch on a guyâs eye socket, sending stars into the poor fellowâs vision.
Chu Xiaoyao had never thrown a punch in her life, and the feeling of her fist connecting with someone elseâs body was both thrilling and exhilarating. She fought with a joy that belied her small size. Although she lacked strength, her little fists, aiming for the eye sockets and nose as Li Yifei had instructed, caused considerable discomfort.
"By the way, uncle, isnât kicking the balls even more effective?" Chu Xiaoyao managed to ask amidst the fray.
Li Yifei burst into laughter and said, "Of course it is, but for a young lady like you to kick someoneâs balls, isnât that a bit indecent?"
"No problem, as long as it feels good to hit them," Chu Xiaoyao giggled, eyeing the space between a guyâs legs, and promptly delivered a kick.
That guy, having overheard the conversation between Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao, had braced himself. Yet even though he saw Chu Xiaoyao square off against him, he couldnât dodge and took her foot squarely in the groin.
"Ow!" The blow to the balls was far worse than a punch to the eye or nose. The area was so tender that even the weak force from Chu Xiaoyao caused the guy to howl in pain, his hands clutching his crotch as he curled up on the ground like a shrimp.
"Oh yeah!" Chu Xiaoyao cheered after kicking one guy down, her excitement palpable as she gleamed at those surrounding her, seeking the perfect opportunity to strike again.
"Ow!"
"Oh yeah!"
With another agonized shout accompanied by Chu Xiaoyaoâs jubilant cry, another victim fell to her well-placed kick to the balls.
Su Jingguang had been brimming with confidence at first, but now, watching his eight men unsuccessfully gang up on Li Yifeiâdespite the apparent bustle of the fightâfailed to gain the upper hand; the screams of pain were all from his own crew. And to the sweet sound of that little girlâs ringing laughter, what was supposed to be a brawl felt more like a game.
Meanwhile, Mengzi and his buddies were inwardly seething with frustration. Eight against two should have been an easy win, but they seemed unable to land a hit. Even the few punches they managed to land on Li Yifei felt like striking iron, causing them no harm and only pain in their fists.
Unable to hit back, they were left vulnerable to being hit. Li Yifei was hardly swinging anymore, focusing instead on weaving through them with Chu Xiaoyao, ensuring they couldnât touch her. So unencumbered, she thrived, her kicks making them flinch and protect their groins in fear of following their comradesâ footsteps.
Eight on twoâthis kind of group brawl was usually a cakewalk, quickly overwhelming the opposition and then dishing out punishment as desired. But today defied their expectations, proving that even with numbers, they could be at a disadvantage.
Li Yifei even had the leeway to light up a cigarette, casually smoking while protecting Chu Xiaoyao and dodging through the crowd. Now she was completely uninhibited, fighting even more fiercely.
"Songying, which uncle do you think is better, yours or mine?" Chu Xiaoyao suddenly called out loudly to Songying.
Songying stood there, dumbfounded, unable to fathom what was happening before her eyes. She knew it wasnât Chu Xiaoyaoâs prowess but Li Yifeiâs that dominated the fight. Unwilling to concede, she snorted and said, "Your uncle might be good at fighting, but so what? Does he have as much money as Boss Su?"
"Whatâs the use of being rich? If he dares, let him come at me and see if I donât kick his balls in."
Su Jingguang instinctively tightened his thighs, realizing todayâs conflict was lost. He snorted and said, "Kid, remember this, weâre not done here." Turning on his heel, he climbed into his Q5, sure that Songying knew Chu Xiaoyao and he could easily find Li Yifei for retribution later.
He refused to believe that after years of getting by in Mile City, he couldnât handle a punk like Li Yifei. He was determined to repay todayâs humiliation twofold.
