Chapter 127: Whose Car Are You Getting Into?

If one were to set aside the atmosphere of the underground parking garage, the smile on Xue Tianai’s face at this moment was undeniably radiant, amiable, charming, and approachable.

The last bodyguard was already terrified out of his wits, standing frozen as he watched Xue Tianai slowly approach him, still wearing that "smile." He was the very same bodyguard whose fist had been caught by Xue Tianai’s chopsticks back at the restaurant, and now, completely unnerved by Xue Tianai’s bizarre and formidable skills, his mind had gone blank.

He could never have imagined that this seemingly gentle and delicate pretty boy could be so ruthless. Having killed more than once in his life, he possessed a certain predatory aura of his own, yet he felt that his usual prideful killing intent was like a mere drop of water compared to the vast ocean when faced with this mild-mannered man.

"I heard from that moron Fu that you’re actually a boxer, right?" Xue Tianai stopped a few meters away, assumed a boxing stance, and said to the last bodyguard, "I’m in a good mood now, so let’s settle this like boxers~"

Startled by this remark, the last bodyguard, despite being paralyzed by fear, instinctively raised his hands. However, it was clear that his arms were trembling violently as he tried to maintain his guard.

"Not bad, not bad!" Xue Tianai praised. Suddenly, he lunged forward, intentionally shouting, "Today, I’ll show you what real boxing is!"

Hearing this, the bodyguard hurriedly adjusted his arms, adopting a defensive posture meant for blocking punches, desperate to fend off Xue Tianai’s sudden assault.

Seeing the move, a cunning, triumphant smirk curled at the corners of Xue Tianai’s mouth. He instantly retracted his fists mid-swing and, with a sudden, wind-whipping roundhouse kick, slipped through the defense and slammed directly into the bodyguard’s unprotected abdomen.

The bodyguard’s body was instantly sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He coughed up blood and crashed heavily onto the ground. Xue Tianai had held back a fraction of his strength, however, so the man did not immediately lose consciousness.

The last bodyguard shakily propped himself up, spat out more blood, and stared at him with disbelief written all over his face. "You... you weren't going to punch... you... you don't follow the rules..."

"Hahahaha—*hic*—" Hearing the bodyguard say such a thing with that expression, Xue Tianai burst into laughter. "I didn't think you’d actually believe me... Alright then, this time I’ll really punch you!"

No sooner had he spoken than Xue Tianai’s figure blurred again. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the bodyguard. Before the man could react, an uppercut slammed into his chin.

*Thud! Crack!* A dull impact followed by the sound of bone fracturing echoed through the garage.

Teeth mixed with blood sprayed from the bodyguard’s mouth. The force of the violent uppercut sent his body reeling backward, but Xue Tianai didn’t give him a chance to recover, following up immediately with an elbow strike.

Xue Tianai secretly added a bit more force to this strike. The bodyguard, already reeling, went rigid after the blow, let out a low groan, and collapsed head-first onto the ground, unconscious and unable to rise again.

"Damn it! That’s for ambushing me at the restaurant earlier!" Lacking any of the dignity of a true expert, Xue Tianai stood over the unconscious bodyguard and vented his frustration like a street brawler.

Seeing this rogue-like fighting style and watching him complain like a petulant child, the three women couldn't help but shake their heads in resignation. How could Xue Tianai be so incredibly petty?

Seemingly satisfied with his venting, Xue Tianai clapped his hands, cast a look of disdain at a black Maserati, and began to walk toward it.

Step by step, though his movements were light, they still made a rhythmic "tap, tap, tap" sound. This sound, though ordinary, was like a death knell to those already scared out of their wits.

For instance...

"Hi! Comrade Moron Fu! Why are you hiding here? Didn't you want to be friends with me?" Xue Tianai’s head popped out from behind the rear of the black Maserati, his teeth bared in a grin as he spoke in a chilling tone to Fu Hanbi, who was hiding behind the car.

Hearing the voice, Fu Hanbi hurriedly looked toward the source, but there was no sign of Xue Tianai—not even a trace of his presence! Fu Hanbi breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking he had been too nervous and over-imaginative; after all, that guy had been busy beating up his four bodyguards, so how could he have seen where he was hiding?

But just then, his right shoulder was tapped lightly. Fu Hanbi’s relief vanished instantly. He turned his head slowly to see Xue Tianai squatting beside him, wearing a sinister smile as he greeted him, "Yoo-hoo!"

Fu Hanbi’s eyes widened in terror, his pupils dilating. Overwhelming fear and shock filled his heart, expanding and growing at a rapid pace. His mouth hung open, but no words came out. Finally, pushed to the brink of a total breakdown, a yellow liquid began to trickle from his crotch, and he collapsed, face-planting into the puddle of his own making, unconscious.

"Disgusting..." Xue Tianai, naturally wanting to avoid any contact with the liquid, stood up and looked down at the soaked, unconscious Fu Hanbi with distaste. "What a coward."

Xue Tianai felt a slight sense of disappointment. First, that Lu Buyu, and now this Fu Hanbi—both were supposedly sons of the underground bosses of Beiyang City, so why were they so pathetic? They lacked any of the stature of an heir, acting like nothing more than good-for-nothing maggots.

Without their families, people like Lu Buyu and Fu Hanbi were nothing. Xue Tianai held such people in complete contempt. Although he, too, was a young master of the Xue family, everything he had achieved was earned through his own blood and sweat.

"Whatever, job done, time to pack up." Xue Tianai clapped his hands, let out a heavy yawn, adjusted his expression, and walked back toward the three women.

The three women seemed to have been waiting for him, and when they saw him walking back with such an easygoing air, they all unconsciously revealed charming and distinct smiles.

Su Jiaqi was the most surprised and shocked of the three. She felt that Xue Tianai was constantly rewriting her perception of him. Was this really the shameless pervert she had met on the bus? Setting aside his lavish spending on the car, his fighting prowess was simply inhuman—she couldn't even find the right words to describe it.

"Xue Tianai, what about that Fu Hanbi?" Qin Mengxue asked, looking at him with curiosity. It seemed the man had vanished from their sight, mostly because they had all been focused on Xue Tianai’s stylish fight.

"Oh, he’s 'taking a bath'..." Xue Tianai chuckled, thinking of that puddle of yellow liquid.

"'Taking a bath'?" The three women were stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Hahaha, don't worry about him... it’s pretty gross..." Xue Tianai laughed it off and waved his hand. "Anyway, the matter is settled, and it’s getting late. Time for everyone to head home."

The women nodded and walked toward where they had parked.

The Ferrari LaFerrari that Xue Tianai had just bought for Qin Mengxue was undoubtedly the most eye-catching vehicle in the parking lot. Beside it, Gan Bingning’s Mercedes-AMG and the new BMW Su Jiaqi had bought over the weekend were also quite impressive.

When the four of them reached their cars, they all stopped in tacit unison. Xue Tianai had no idea why they had stopped, but seeing their movements, he had no choice but to follow suit.

"Xue, you didn't drive, did you? Why don't I... I'll take you home..." Su Jiaqi broke the silence first, looking directly at Xue Tianai, though a faint blush crept onto her face as she spoke.

"Jiaqi, let me take him instead. I don't really have anything to do tonight, and I'm not in a rush to go home..." Gan Bingning shook her head and leaned toward Xue Tianai, though her gaze remained fixed on Su Jiaqi.

"Jiaqi, Bingning, I should be the one to take Xue Tianai. After all, I know where he lives, which might be more convenient..." Qin Mengxue added with a radiant, friendly smile.

Xue Tianai was dumbfounded. Why did all three women want to drive him home? Setting aside Qin Mengxue and Gan Bingning, what kind of madness had taken hold of Su Jiaqi? Were they even on good enough terms for this?

"President Qin is a busy woman; there’s no need to waste your time on such things," Su Jiaqi countered.

Xue Tianai couldn't help but inwardly groan at this.

"That's right, Jiaqi. I remember you saying during dinner that you had a document to finish... so you and the President should get back to work. I’ll take Assistant Xue home," Gan Bingning said, nodding in agreement with Su Jiaqi while "kindly" reminding her of her obligations.

"Jiaqi, Bingning, even though I am your President, there is really no need to be so formal. It would be best if I took him... plus, it’s on my way," Qin Mengxue insisted, her smile remaining as bright as ever.

"!?@#￥%&*...................."

Xue Tianai was completely lost, staring blankly as the three women engaged in a conversation that sounded normal but was thick with tension.

After a few minutes of arguing with no result, the three women stopped in silent agreement and turned to look at Xue Tianai with "kindly" expressions, asking in unison, "Xue Tianai, whose car are you getting into?"

Xue Tianai felt a profound sense of headache coming on...
