Chapter 145 Do You Have Any Idea Who That Is!
"How... how did you know that?" The first security guard's face was plastered with utter disbelief and astonishment. He had never expected that Xue Tian'ai would hit the nail completely on the head!
Watching the shocked expression on the security guard's face, Xue Tian'ai did not reply. He simply stood up with a faint smile...
"You guys used to be soldiers from the First District of the Northeast Military Region's Jian-seizing Unit, right?" This was precisely what Xue Tian'ai had whispered into the security guard's ear just a moment ago.
The Northeast Military Region housed numerous special forces, and the Jian-seizing Unit was merely one among many. As for the First District of the Jian-seizing Unit, it was just a small squad within the special forces regiment. Furthermore, the military boxing routines practiced by each special forces unit in the Northeast Military Region were entirely distinct, each possessing its own unique merits!
From the moment the first security guard rushed forward and attempted a grappling move on him, followed by the punches thrown by the subsequent guards, Xue Tian'ai had completely recognized the routine as military boxing exclusive to the First District of the Northeast Military Region's Jian-seizing Unit.
He had practiced this very routine during his childhood, mastering it thoroughly and effortlessly. Its strengths, weaknesses, and flaws were crystal clear to him...
Moreover, it wasn't just this specific boxing routine of the Jian-seizing Unit; Xue Tian'ai had deeply etched the military boxing routines of all the other special forces units of the Northeast Military Region into his mind!
For no other reason than the fact that the creator of these boxing routines was none other than Xue Tian'ai's father, Xue Xiwen, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Military Region!
Fearing that in the event of a crisis, the entire military's combat methods would become too uniform and easily deciphered by the enemy, Xue Xiwen had compiled completely different military boxing routines for various units! Back then, they happened to be used to train Xue Tian'ai as well...
During his childhood practices, Xue Tian'ai had taken quite a severe beating from those very boxing routines...
Even so, a multitude of questions and doubts still lingered in his mind at this moment.
"How on earth did you know?" The first security guard evidently refused to give up. He could never have imagined that someone would recognize they were former soldiers, let alone pinpoint their exact unit designation!
"That is none of your concern. Out of respect for your past service as soldiers, I didn't use brute force to fight you; I merely struck your pressure points to drain your strength. This is a matter between me and that dog, so stay out of it!" Naturally, Xue Tian'ai had no intention of revealing the truth. He simply shook his head, ceased looking at these men who were once soldiers under his father's command, and walked once more toward the direction of Lonely Dog.
Seeing Xue Tian'ai approaching him again, the ferocious expression on Lonely Dog's face—distorted by his broken leg—was now suffused with colors of despair and terror. His complexion matched that of a corpse, pale to the extreme!
He had originally thought the arrival of these security guards would save him, but who could have foreseen that these burly, fierce men wouldn't even be enough for Xue Tian'ai to fight single-handedly!
Just what kind of sacred entity was this young man? Who on earth was he? These questions resided not only in Lonely Dog's heart but also in the hearts of the onlookers witnessing the scene unfold before them!
They never expected that Xue Tian'ai not only possessed heaven-defying driving skills, but was also terrifyingly formidable in a fight!
"An'an, come here. It's time to make this dog pay a price..." Halfway there, Xue Tian'ai beckoned to Cen An'an, who was watching him with glittering eyes.
Cen An'an, naturally excited like a little magpie, trotted over to Xue Tian'ai and affectionately wrapped her arms around his.
"Fangling, I'm actually starting to envy An'an a little..." A young girl murmured to Tang Fangling beside her as she watched the affectionate posture of Cen An'an and Xue Tian'ai.
"Yeah, no wonder An'an loves showing off her relationship. If I had a boyfriend like that, I'd show him off every day too..." Tang Fangling sighed softly. Her impression of Xue Tian'ai had completely shifted. Initially, she had worried that her good friend was being hoodwinked by some sweet-talking nonsense, but seeing it now, her perspective had simply been too narrow to begin with...
"You... don't come over... stay away!" Dragging his broken right leg, Lonely Dog looked in terror at Xue Tian'ai walking toward him, struggling as he backed away.
"Damn it! Kid, as formidable as you are, fighting is strictly prohibited at the Tel Mountain Underground Racetrack!" The security guard from earlier tried to stand up to stop Xue Tian'ai, but his legs refused to obey, entirely devoid of strength.
Xue Tian'ai completely ignored those words. He did not need anyone else to teach him how to act!
"I should have given you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it..." Standing before Lonely Dog, Xue Tian'ai wore a slightly sinister smile as he spoke.
"No... no... don't come closer... this place belongs to the Twelve Halls of the Zhou Family... If you cause trouble here, they will never let you off... Besides, I am a contracted racer for the Twelve Halls of the Zhou Family... You cannot possibly do this to me..."
Lonely Dog tried his utmost to widen the distance between himself and Xue Tian'ai, but no matter whether he dragged himself quickly or slowly, the distance between them seemed completely unchanged, as if Xue Tian'ai were deliberately maintaining this exact gap.
Right at that moment, however, an outburst of commotion erupted from the crowd of onlookers.
"Boss Cheng is here! Boss Cheng is here!"
"Boss Cheng is actually here tonight!!"
Following this commotion came a somewhat angry male voice: "What are you all still staring at? Isn't the race over? Go back wherever you came from, don't huddle around here!"
The male voice rang out again: "I want to see which two blind racers actually dared to start a fight and cause trouble! Tired of living, are you?"
Hearing this male voice, Xue Tian'ai couldn't help but frown. He glanced in the direction of the voice, and upon seeing the grumbling man marching toward them, the corners of Xue Tian'ai's mouth twitched uncontrollably...
Xue Tian'ai had seen this man just yesterday... Moreover, the man's entrance style and opening lines over the past couple of days bore a strikingly similar resemblance... Yes, that's right, this grumbling man was none other than Cheng Qiankun, the owner and head chef of Lishui Longxuan...
Upon seeing Cheng Qiankun, Lonely Dog's eyes instantly lit up. This was his direct, ultimate boss, as well as a prominent figure within the Twelve Halls of the Zhou Family. Now that the man himself had arrived, he was undoubtedly saved!
"Master Cheng! You have to save me...!" With a mournful face, dragging his shattered leg, Lonely Dog practically crawled toward Cheng Qiankun...
"What kind of creature are you supposed to be??" Cheng Qiankun held zero impression of this Lonely Dog in his mind. Yet, seeing the spineless posture of the man, a look of involuntary disgust surfaced on his face.
"Master Cheng, I'm Little Dog, Master Cheng..." Lonely Dog finally managed to drag himself before Cheng Qiankun, kneeling there with a face full of tearful grievance!
Fearing that Cheng Qiankun might not remember, Lonely Dog hurriedly added, "I'm the racer signed by Master Qing, Lonely Dog!"
"A racer under Little Qing?" At that moment, Cheng Qiankun recalled something. It seemed that about a month ago, Little Qing, who was specifically in charge of the Tel Mountain underground races under his command, had indeed signed a racing driver...
"Yes, yes, it's me, Master Cheng, that racer is me!" Lonely Dog nodded vigorously while tearfully airing his grievances: "Sob, sob, sob, Master Cheng, you must seek justice for your humble servant...!"
"Not only did someone break my leg, but he also beat the security guards to the ground! It's pure lawlessness, sob, sob... Master Cheng, you absolutely cannot let him off!"
"Who is it?" Cheng Qiankun had briefly learned about the current situation via a phone call just moments ago. What he hadn't expected, however, was that one of the brawlers turned out to be a racing driver under his own subordinates...
Though he detested Lonely Dog's spineless demeanor, after all, this was a driver under his subordinate's subordinate whose leg had been broken, and the security guards had all been knocked down. This was practically a direct slap to his face...
For someone like Cheng Qiankun, money was no longer of paramount importance; what he valued above all else was his face and prestige!
"It's that person!" Lonely Dog hurriedly pointed at Xue Tian'ai, refusing to believe that Xue Tian'ai could be arrogant enough to challenge Cheng Qiankun!
Following the direction of Lonely Dog's finger, Cheng Qiankun looked over and instantly froze. The flame of anger in his heart flared even brighter after a brief pause as he lowered his head to look at Lonely Dog with an unkind tone: "Are you certain that's the person?"
"That's right, it's that damn pretty boy! Master Cheng, you must teach him a thorough lesson!... I've been wronged so deeply..." Lonely Dog played the pitiful card even harder at this point...
"Wronged your grandmother's head, do you have any damn idea who that is!" Before Lonely Dog could finish his sentence, Cheng Qiankun irritably thrust out a hand and struck Lonely Dog heavily across the face!
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang sharply through the air!
As if unsatisfied after delivering that slap, Cheng Qiankun extended a leg and lashed out directly at Lonely Dog's lower abdomen, kicking the already dazed man aside like a piece of trash!
Then, amidst the dumbfounded and shocked gazes of the crowd, Cheng Qiankun walked up to Xue Tian'ai with a beaming smile and said deferentially, "Master, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
