Rock State, Mo City, Eastern Suburb.
"Throw this kid out!"
"Hmph! Daring to compete with Mr. Li for a woman, does he even look at what he is!"
"Hey! Guys! Hurry up, be nimble!"
...
The faint shouts in English caused Bai Yan to open his eyes.
A wave of excruciating pain came from his head, with a warm and wet liquid flowing down his forehead, the pungent smell of blood spreading.
Bai Yan tried to shake his groggy head to clear his mind, but he felt bound all around.
He was tied up and stuffed in a sack.
Tape sealed his mouth, and as the suffocating sensation welled up, Bai Yan bit down on his tongue tip hard. The taste of fresh blood in his mouth helped him to shake off the dizziness.
Where am I?
Could it be that I've been kidnapped?
Bai Yan narrowed his eyes, and memories flooded his mind.
From the muffled conversations outside, Bai Yan could guess that he was indeed kidnapped!
If he wasn't mistaken, the person who had him kidnapped was Young Master Li from the same school.
Li Feiwen, the Eldest Young Master of the Li Group, also the current general manager of the Mo City branch of the Li City Group, and also the current boyfriend of Bai Yan's ex-girlfriend Jin Xuanxuan.
"Bang!"
Someone was moving the sack, throwing the sack containing Bai Yan harshly onto the ground, then someone ripped open the mouth of the sack.
"Pant! Pant!"
The moonlight poured down, Bai Yan's head emerged from the sack, "Rip!" someone brutally tore off the tape from Bai Yan's mouth.
Ignoring the pain, Bai Yan took deep breaths of fresh air, all the while warily scanning his surroundings.
Several men in black stood by his side, each wearing a mask on their faces, leaving only a pair of malicious eyes sizing him up, showing a trace of contempt and disdain.
Under the bright moonlight, Bai Yan could clearly discern that among the group were several burly and tall African American men, some even had bulging waists carrying firearms!
"Is it Li Feiwen who sent you?"
Bai Yan panted heavily, asking in English while staring intently at the people in black.
"Yellow-skinned kid, seems like you're not so stupid to be able to guess it, huh?"
One of the men in black sneered, his English tainted with a unique foreign accent. This man took a steel pipe from the car trunk and strode toward Bai Yan.
"What do you want to do!"
Bai Yan's expression changed, he roared lowly.
"Hey! My dear lamb, you ask me what I'm doing? Mr. Li said, aren't you a top student? Aren't you An Xiaowan's tutor? Mr. Li wants us to cripple your hands, so you won't bother An Xiaowan again!"
The man in black sneered.
"Swish!"
The steel pipe slashed through the air and smashed down harshly, hitting the sack and Bai Yan's arm.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.
"Ugh! f.u.ck!"
The intense pain caused Bai Yan to shiver, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat, it was too painful!
The sack was tied with nylon ropes, preventing Bai Yan from spreading his arms and legs, and unable to use the military boxing his father has once taught him.
"Damn it! What's with that look in your eyes? You want to hit me? Then stand up! I heard you could really fight at school! A special admissions student from Hua Xia? Heh, where is your Chinese Martial Arts now! Come on and show me! You despicable yellow-skinned person!"
The men in black converged around him, relentlessly kicking Bai Yan's abdomen, their eyes glinting with malicious contempt as they looked down from high above.
"Ptui!"
Bai Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, his deep eyes like a lone wolf, glaring fixedly at the group, saying hoarsely, "Didn't Young Master Li already steal my girlfriend? What more does he want?"
"Steal?"
The men in black looked at each other, then burst into mocking laughter, their voices filled with sarcasm and mockery, "Poor lamb, you think too highly of that Hua Xia woman Jin!"
"It was she who wanted to climb into Mr. Li's bed! It was she who told Mr. Li that you knew a bit of martial arts, she who told Mr. Li to send more people to deal with you!"
"And it was she who personally put something in your drink, a drug that makes one weak!"
"From start to finish, Mr. Li only ever had one woman, and that was An Xiaowan! She is the woman Mr. Li admires, and you, this despicable dog excrement, dared to hit on Mr. Li's future woman under the guise of being a tutor, don't you think you deserve to die?"
The man in black crouched down, slapping Bai Yan's face with his hand, the movements both contemptuous and humiliating.
"I didn't!"
Bai Yan roared, his dark eyes full of fury, and he glared at the man in black, bellowing word by word, "I never thought of having anything to do with her! I just wanted to earn some money from tutoring!"
Bai Yan was an orphan; his parents tragically died in a car accident when he was fifteen, leaving behind no inheritance. He was fortunate to become a special admission international student at Mo City University, naturally living frugally, taking on part-time jobs such as tutoring and fitness coaching, among others.
In the face of An Xiaohua, who came from a noble background, with a sweet smile and gentle temperament, Bai Yan indeed had fleeting moments of infatuation, but he only wanted to do his job as a tutor well.
"You say there's nothing, and nothing it is? Poor guy, I believe you! But it's a pity, Mr. Li doesn't believe you! Mr. Li said, he wants to cripple your arms, cut out your tongue, and make you a useless person, then he would be at peace."
