Chapter 71: Hand-to-Hand Combat

  "Has he gone? What's wrong?" Nan Ge asked in a hoarse voice.

  "Zhao Chenggang is in trouble, you'd better notify him." Zhong Xiaofei said while staring at the two targets in front of her. Zhao Chenggang and Liu Tao came out of the restaurant, crossed the street, and entered a small residential area opposite.

  "Alright, I know." Nang said, realizing the severity of the situation, and hung up the phone.

  Zhong Xiaofei felt a little nervous in his heart, after all, he was used to being a white-collar worker, and when it came to fighting, he still had some resistance in his heart. However, despite the nervousness, he still had to do what needed to be done, Nan Ge and Xiao Yong's troubles were all caused by him, and he would not sit idly by.

  The residential area opposite is called Jiahua Residential Area, it's a high-end community. What are Zhao Chenggang and Liu Tao, two hoodlums, doing in the community?

  Soon, Zhong Xiaofei knew the reason, because Xiao Yong also appeared at the entrance of the community.

  Xiao Yong was wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt, riding a bicycle, humming leisurely, completely unaware that he had become someone else's target. Later, Zhong Xiaofei found out that Xiao Yong's girlfriend was a teacher at the kindergarten in the neighborhood, and he came to see her today.

  Zhao Chenggang and Liu Tao obviously had some understanding of Xiaoyong, so they would ambush in the community in advance.

  It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and the sky gradually darkened. The streetlights and the lights in the residential area all lit up. There were many people and vehicles entering the gate of the community. After Xiaoyong rode his bike into the community, he followed the usual path along the right side of the road. He was riding very fast, as after meeting his girlfriend, he still had to rush back to work at the bar.

  Zhong Xiaofei saw Xiao Yong and wanted to wave his hand to remind him, but it was already too late.

  Because Liu Tao had already rushed towards Xiao Yong. He crossed the road and was standing right in front of Xiao Yong's bicycle path.

  Xiao Yong braked hastily. The bicycle screeched to a halt. The wheels were still several steps away from Liu Tao.

  "Grass, have you grown eyes or not? Do you want to kill me?" Liu Taoleng glared with her eyes and scolded.

  Xiao Yong didn't know that the other person was intentionally picking a fight, he being an outsider, had always been very cautious and careful, quickly apologized, "Sorry about that."

  "Sorry is enough? Get down for me!" Liu Tao glared with his eyes, took a step forward and grabbed Xiao Yong's arm.

  Xiao Yong instinctively struggled, "Don't move your hands and feet..." Those who have been soldiers still have a temper. Moreover, he hasn't been in Haizhou for long and doesn't know Liu Tao yet. If it were an old security guard, he would definitely recognize Liu Tao at a glance.

  "Ah, you're still reasonable after hitting someone?" Liu Tao was intentionally picking a fight, and Xiaoyong retorted back. He immediately took advantage of the situation and started throwing punches, grabbing Xiaoyong's arm with his left hand and swinging his right fist towards Xiaoyong's face.

  Xiaoyong couldn't dodge because his hands were still gripping the handlebars of his bicycle, so he could only tilt his head to avoid the punch. The fist didn't hit his face but still landed on his forehead. Liu Tao's punch was very powerful and had been planned in advance, so it made Xiaoyong see stars. Xiaoyong stumbled twice.

  Liu Tao's fist was a success, and he continued to throw two more punches, continuously attacking Xiao Yong's vital parts. As expected of Pan Haisheng's strong and fierce apprentice, his fists and feet were indeed formidable. Today, his lowest goal was to send Xiao Yong to the hospital, so that when they smashed the wine bar, Nan Ge would lose a capable assistant.

  Xiao Yong suddenly let go of the handlebars and threw away his bicycle, swinging his fist to counterattack. Bang bang, at the same time Liu Tao punched him in the face, he also punched Liu Tao's face.

  "Ah!" Liu Tao shouted, and with a swift motion, she pulled out a sharp spring knife.

  He originally thought that three punches and two kicks would be enough to knock down Xiaoyong, but unexpectedly Xiaoyong not only didn't fall, but also counterattacked fiercely. Since it's come to this, not fighting back is not an option.

  Liu Tao didn't say a word and stabbed Xiao Yong's abdomen with one knife, showing no mercy at all.

  Xiao Yong quickly jumped back and dodged, he had already realized that today's fight was not an accident. After dodging, he looked for opportunities to counterattack.

  But at this time, another person rushed out from the side and punched him in the back of his head.

  It was Zhao Chenggang, seeing Liu Tao didn't succeed, he rushed out to help.

  Zhao Chenggang's move was very sudden, and Xiao Yong's attention was all on Liu Tao in front of him, so he couldn't dodge at all. When the back of his head was hit, he fainted for a moment, then Zhao Chenggang kicked his calf with one foot, Xiao Yong groaned and fell to the ground.

  Before he could get up, Zhao Chengyang kicked him in the head again with great force, as if he had been hit by a hammer. Xiaoyong fell to the ground, instinctively covering his head with both hands, and stars flashed before his eyes. Then Liu Tao rushed over, one hand pressing down on him, warning, "You little scoundrel, go lie in the hospital for a few months! Next time you're so reckless, it'll cost you your life!" The other hand holding the spring knife stabbed towards his chest!

  Zhao Chenggang continued to lift his foot and fiercely stomped towards Xiao Yong.

  The two thugs were ruthless and well-coordinated, Xiao Yong, a young migrant worker who had just arrived in Haizhou, was already unable to fight back, today he would either die or be seriously injured.

  At the critical moment, a half brick flew over and hit Liu Tao's back of the head accurately. Liu Tao let out a loud cry, like a bowling pin that had been struck, covering his head with his hands, bending down, and fresh blood flowed from between his fingers.

  Right behind the flying brick came a figure, who turned out to be Zhong Xiaofei.

  Zhong Xiaofei had been standing at a distance, observing Zhao Chenggang and Liu Tao's every move. When he saw Xiao Yong and Liu Tao start fighting, he knew things were not good and hurriedly ran towards them. However, due to the distance, it was too late for him to intervene. Seeing Xiao Yong in danger, Zhong Xiaofei quickly came up with an idea, grabbed a half-brick from the nearby green belt, and threw it at Liu Tao with a swoosh.

  This hit was both accurate and ruthless, like a cannonball coming out of the barrel. Liu Tao covered his occipital bone, almost getting knocked unconscious.

  Zhong Xiaofei rushed over and, with the help of her running momentum, her body took to the air, delivering a flying kick to Liu Tao's back.

  Liu Tao was directly kicked out three or four meters, his body flying in the air, heavily slamming onto the ground, feeling like his skeleton was about to be shattered, letting out a painful groan.

  Because it was to save someone, from throwing bricks to flying kicks, Zhong Xiaofei used all his strength. Liu Tao suffered two heavy blows in a row and couldn't get up for the time being.

  "It's you!" Zhao Chenggang was taken aback at first, then quickly recognized Zhong Xiaofei.

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't waste words with him and pulled up Xiao Yong from the ground.

  Xiao Yong was still dizzy, his body felt heavy, and Zhong Xiaofei couldn't pull him up at once.

  "I'll kill you!" At this time, Zhao Cheng suddenly pulled out a spring knife from his waist and stabbed it at Zhong Xiaofei.

  Everything originated from the conflict between him and Zhong Xiaofei. Now seeing Zhong Xiaofei, his eyes turned red, recalling the scene where he was brutally beaten by Zhong Xiaofei at the entrance of the bar. His blood rushed to his forehead. He wanted revenge, he wanted to avenge the humiliation of being defeated by Zhong Xiaofei.

  Zhong Xiaofei hastily released Xiao Yong and retreated backward.

  Zhao Chenggang made two consecutive swift slashes, both of which grazed Zhong Xiaofei's clothes. The situation was extremely perilous. As Zhong Xiaofei retreated and dodged, he anxiously sought an opportunity. When Zhao Chenggang launched his third attack, Zhong Xiaofei seized the chance to kick him in the calf with great force. Normally, this would have sent someone tumbling, but Zhao Chenggang merely stumbled before regaining his footing, his eyes still blazing as he charged at Zhong Xiaofei with his knife, though his strength and speed were no longer as formidable as they had been in his first two strikes.
