The speaker was naturally Xiao Feng, who was calmly watching Niu Ge at this moment.
Ruffians aren't scary; it's scary when ruffians are educated. This statement is indeed true.
Once there was a joke online saying that lawbreakers these days understand the law better than the average law-abiding person. The comments below were mostly teasing, but when this becomes reality, it's actually terrifying.
Because once the law becomes a tool for lawbreakers to exploit, then how do the interests of law-abiding citizens get protected?
The fundamental nature of the purpose of law changes.
"In this day and age, people like you two are really rare, rarer than endangered animals. How about this, we won't make it hard for you guys. You look dressed up to the nines, not like people short on cash. Leave ten thousand each, what do you think?"
Niu Ge rubbed his shiny head; this seemed to be a habitual action, just as some people wearing a Rolex feel the need to adjust their wrists now and then.
And Niu Ge's subordinates were lightly patting the bats in their hands, the threat couldn't be more obvious.
"I have to rescue someone first!" Zhao Guo'an looked at Xiao Feng with an extremely serious tone, no longer with the previous panic.
Xiao Feng nodded: "Go ahead."
Zhao Guo'an walked straight toward the half-wrecked Wuling, and one of Niu Ge's men was immediately displeased: "Damn it, you don't appreciate kindness, do you?"
"Get out of the way!" Zhao Guo'an roared, rescuing someone is like extinguishing a fire, any delay might lead to irreversible consequences. Previously, Xiao Feng wasn't here, and Zhao Guo'an wasn't good with his fists, so he naturally felt less confident.
But now that Xiao Feng was here, did he still need to be afraid?
"Damn, you've grown a pair, haven't you?" The man blocking Zhao Guo'an grasped the hammer tighter: "Looks like I have to show you some pain today."
As he spoke, he lifted the hammer high, aiming to strike Zhao Guo'an on the head.
Niu Ge was startled, knowing this guy's personality — he'll do what he says. To be blunt, he's a stubborn type who doesn't care about consequences.
But Niu Ge was different. He could tell Zhao Guo'an and Xiao Feng weren't ordinary people, at least from a wealthy and influential background, which was why he asked for ten thousand each, hoping to avoid big trouble.
But if a life were lost because of this hammer, the matter would become huge, very different from causing a car accident.
Zhao Guo'an panicked and instinctively wanted to spit out the poison he had hidden in his mouth, a natural self-defense reflex.
But just then, a hand suddenly appeared, grabbing onto the hammer's handle, and then swung it in the opposite direction.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two sounds came in succession, and the place fell silent.
The first sound was the hammer hitting someone's head.
The second was the sound of a person falling to the ground, clean and abrupt, not even allowing time for a scream.
"You..." Niu Ge stared in shock at his little bro lying in a pool of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe Xiao Feng dared to strike so hard.
Moreover, how did the other guy suddenly grab the hammer without his noticing anything?
Niu Ge immediately realized he had messed with someone tough. The other party must have formal training, maybe military or something else, but whatever the case, these guys could easily handle him and his crew.
"Bro, brother, we were wrong in this matter." Niu Ge quickly backed down: "Could you leave us some room to breathe? If you ever need anything in this territory, one word and I'll be there."
Xiao Feng smirked playfully: "Aren't you well-versed in the law? For what I just did, what crime is that, how many years could it get me?"
Niu Ge obviously misunderstood, quickly said: "Brother, you've got it wrong. In my line of work, it's not the legal, honest kind. Calling the cops is just handing myself in."
Xiao Feng chuckled with a shake of his head: "There's a term called excessive self-defense, you might have heard of it?
If you haven't, no worries. I'll briefly explain: basically, you guys attacked me with weapons, and out of self-defense, I had no choice but to retaliate. But unfortunately, in my panic, I struck too hard and ended up killing someone, that's considered excessive self-defense."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ge's face grew grim: "Brother, are you saying you want to annihilate us?"
Xiao Feng grinned: "Are you ready?"
"Bang!"
Before Niu Ge could react, his nose had already taken a heavy punch, immediately bleeding profusely, stars dancing before his eyes.
The punch was clearly a calculated exertion of force by Xiao Feng, enough to inflict pain without knocking the guy out.
Niu Ge's underlings exchanged a glance and charged, weapons in hand, yelling. Though not trained assassins, the guts they showed indicated they've definitely done robberies and murders before.
Xiao Feng stood still with an unfazed expression, the corners of his mouth curling into a deeper smile.
"Ah!"
A scream erupted from the first person to approach Xiao Feng, like a curtain drawn back to reveal a drama, with only one theme in this play — screams.
"Ahhhh!"
Screams echoed back and forth, each more harrowing than the last.
"Stop, stop... ah!"
Xiao Feng leisurely walked along the scene, not even granting a chance for mercy. One punch, one kick, as if venting anger in this manner.
Those who couldn't stop screaming envied their buddy knocked out by the hammer, for passing out became a luxury, desperately wishing to faint, yet their consciousness stubbornly remained sharp.
At this moment, Zhao Guo'an stepped out of the vehicle.
As a doctor, he's seen too much life and death, even had patients he couldn't save.
Honestly, that powerless feeling is a torment, affecting his mood for a week or even half a month.
As he walked, Hao Zhenyu's voice and laugh filled his mind, alongside the image of the cigarette he discarded, which the other picked up and stamped out before placing it back in the pack, accompanied by an apologetic smile endlessly replaying.
Zhao Guo'an finally became furious. Though life was tough for that family of three, it wasn't without hope. Yet now, these scumbags shattered all hope, all the good things.
Especially when he thought about how Hao Zhenyu's wife died still protecting their child, he felt a heavy weight on his chest, finding it hard to breathe.
"You goddamn bastards, to hell with you!"
After a furious roar, Zhao Guo'an kicked the people on the ground repeatedly, feeling pain in his foot until he was exhausted, panting and sweating profusely.
