Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Baili Mingyue Causes TroubleAfter leaving Tang Wenrou’s villa, Fang Bai saw that it was still early, so he stopped by a nearby bank to deposit the check from the Lu Family into his own bank account before returning to his siheyuan residence. In recent times, owing to treating Lu Jianfeng’s injuries, Fang Bai rarely spent time at the siheyuan and would return late, so he seldom had the chance to meet with his landlord Qiu Zhan and his family. However, every time he returned, Fang Bai would always sense the breathing and heartbeat of Qiu Zhan’s wife, Qiu Yuzhi, from his room. Qiu Yuzhi’s condition was slightly worse than before but remained stable. Qiu Zhan continued to go to a nearby livestock slaughterhouse for his pork butchering and selling business every day, but now he returned home a bit earlier and more frequently. Qiu Mingyue still went to summer classes every day and then returned home on time to take care of her mother. According to Mingyue, her summer class was located near their school, Yanjing No. 16 Middle School. Fang Bai was currently passing by Yanjing No. 16 Middle School. At this time, Mingyue should have finished her classes and be on her way home. As he walked past a cold drink shop near Yanjing No. 16 Middle School, he noticed a crowd gathered, mostly students in summer school uniforms. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Glancing over the crowd, Fang Bai instantly spotted Mingyue. Mingyue, being tall and even taller than the average boy, stood out with her beautiful appearance and unique temperament among the crowd, making it hard not to notice her. At that moment, Mingyue was standing in front of a girl around her age, confronting and arguing with two young men wearing plaid shirts, her eyebrows inverted and eyes wide with anger, as if she were extremely infuriated. The girl shielded behind her was also an exceptional beauty, continuously wiping away her tears and looking at the two young men opposite her with fear in her eyes. Fang Bai could clearly feel Mingyue’s anger rising almost to its limit, and she might resort to physical action if the argument persisted. Although she was not a Martial Artist, she had a Martial Artist father and was very skilled in self-defense. Fang Bai was certain that if Mingyue took action, those two young men would be in big trouble. But soon, Fang Bai changed his opinion and realized that if Mingyue did strike first, she would be the one to suffer. The threat to Mingyue did not come from the two young men in plaid shirts, but from two men standing behind them. If Fang Bai’s guess was correct, those two men were probably the bodyguards of the plaid-shirted youth. Both men were around thirty years old, of medium height, lean build, dressed in similarly vintage thin azure shirts, sporting identical buzz cuts, and their facial features were almost exactly the same—they were twins. Both men were Martial Artists, and moreover, they were Yellow Level intermediate stage Martial Artists. Standing lazily under a small tree on the side of the street five meters away, they watched the plaid-shirted youth argue with Mingyue, seemingly unmoved. But Fang Bai knew that the moment Mingyue laid hands on the plaid-shirted youth and gained the upper hand, those twin brothers would certainly intervene. Mingyue’s skills were considerable, but only against ordinary people. Against Martial Artists, she would undoubtedly be the one to suffer. Fang Bai sighed and promptly turned his steps, striding towards the crowd. Had Mingyue been a stranger, Fang Bai would have glanced and walked away, but since she was the landlord’s daughter and they were acquainted, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing, could he? Moreover, it would be a blight on the landscape to have such a lively and beautiful young girl suffer harm, her face bruised and battered. So, Fang Bai decided to try and dissuade Mingyue before she took action. Otherwise, once a conflict broke out, the twin brothers would step in, and it would become much more troublesome to handle the situation. Having taken only a few steps, Fang Bai cursed to himself, "Damn." One of the two youths in floral shirts, the skinnier one, suddenly lost his mind and actually reached out to touch Mingyue’s cheek. His action was like lighting a fuse, and in an instant, the rage that Mingyue was barely containing exploded. "Get lost!" The hand of the youth in the floral shirt that had touched Mingyue’s cheek hadn’t retracted when it was viciously kicked by Mingyue’s suddenly rising right foot in the groin. Ouch— The youth in the floral shirt covered his groin with both hands, his body bent over, legs tightly clamped together, as he howled in agony. "You little bitch!" Seeing this, the other youth in a floral shirt’s face changed, and as he cursed angrily, he threw a punch towards Mingyue. Mingyue’s pretty face was frosty as she lashed out with her foot in the same manner once again. And so, the two youths in floral shirts became a pitiful pair, each covering their groin and howling like banshees. The onlookers wore expressions of schadenfreude, with some unable to help cheering secretly. The two youths in the floral shirts were clearly scions of wealth, who had stopped the girl behind Mingyue earlier, asking for her name and inviting her out to eat, harassing her in various ways until she cried. The girl was Mingyue’s classmate. When Mingyue passed by and saw the situation, she couldn’t stand by and had her classmate stand behind her as she confronted the two youths in floral shirts. Seeing that the two girls were each more beautiful than the other, the two youths in floral shirts habitually made disparaging remarks. Mingyue didn’t show any weakness and countered sharply with her witty tongue. However, she was ultimately an inexperienced girl, and when verbally sparring with two youths who had mingled in society for many years, it was inevitable she would end up at a disadvantage. So it didn’t take long for her anger to be aroused. Mingyue had trained in martial arts, and the kicks she delivered were quick, harsh, and accurate, leaving the two youths in floral shirts drenched in sweat and screaming in pain. The bystanders watched with satisfaction, thinking that such scum deserved to be kicked into sterility. Some spectators, seeing such a charming and delicate young girl strike so fiercely, couldn’t help feeling a chill, and silently warned themselves to be more careful around beautiful women in the future. "Liu Yue, let’s go!" After injuring the two youths in floral shirts, Mingyue took the hand of the girl behind her and turned to leave. Suddenly— A sound of clothing tearing through the air was heard, and Mingyue saw a blur before her eyes. When she looked closely, she saw a pair of twin brothers, their appearance and attire exactly the same, blocking her way. "What do you want?" Mingyue felt a sense of danger from the grim expressions on the twins’ faces and unconsciously stepped back. Fang Bai guessed right; the twins were indeed the bodyguards of the two youths in floral shirts. With their skills, if they had been standing beside the two youths in floral shirts, Mingyue wouldn’t have had a chance to hurt anyone. But their mistake was in assuming Mingyue was a delicate girl and no threat, and this oversight led to trouble. As bodyguards, failing to protect their charges meant they would face severe punishment upon returning. Frustrated, they directed their rage at Mingyue. They were martial artists with hearts as firm as iron and had little compassion for the fairer sex. Even though Mingyue was as beautiful as a flower, they had no qualms about striking her down. One of the twin brothers, his eyes flashing with cold light, raised his right palm and viciously aimed a strike at Mingyue’s cheek.
