Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Did You Guess You Would Get Beaten Today?

 

The dark gun barrels were intimidating. Being locked on by so many guns, Ouyang Xinghai felt his body was no longer under his control!

Others also hadn’t expected that Su Rui would really dare to threaten them like this!

Given their status, they could walk with their heads high in the capital and would be treated as honored guests anywhere. When had they ever been held at gunpoint?

But looking at these special forces soldiers’ aggressive demeanor, they truly appeared ready to kill, not at all like they were bluffing!

For a moment, everyone was uncertain about Su Rui’s intentions! Even the worldly Old Master Qin couldn’t decide what to do! If they truly angered Su Rui, with so many guns, they could all be killed without exception!

Jiang Tiancang frowned slightly and said in a low voice: “Don’t try to provoke him, whatever you do. He’s truly capable of doing it!”

As he spoke these words, Jiang Tiancang seemed to see the scene from five years ago before his eyes – that night of bloody slaughter was unforgettable for his entire life!

Jiang Tiancang had fought countless battles in his lifetime, but Su Rui’s overwhelming killing intent that night had thoroughly shocked him!

Ouyang Xinghai was completely stunned by Su Rui and didn’t know what to say for a full half minute!

After a long while, he finally realized that if he backed down now, he would be completely dominated by Su Rui and put at a disadvantage! He would become a laughingstock from then on! This wasn’t a result he was willing to see! He couldn’t accept it!

This woman should have belonged to him, and all this glory should have been his!

Ouyang Xinghai was burning with rage. He rushed forward, grabbed Su Rui’s collar, veins bulging on his neck, and growled: “This is the Qin family compound. I don’t believe you really dare to fire! Do you know what consequences firing a gun here would bring?”

“What consequences?”

A contemptuous smile flashed across Su Rui’s lips as he slowly raised his right hand, index finger pointing to the sky!

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, deafening!

Everyone was startled!

They absolutely hadn’t expected that a gunshot could be so loud!

Only those who have heard gunfire at close range would know how shocking it is when a gun goes off!

With Su Rui’s gesture, the soldiers behind him immediately fired! Clearly, they were completely under Su Rui’s command! If Su Rui ordered them to hold everyone present hostage, they would execute without hesitation!

Su Rui’s action was meant to demonstrate how powerful his trump card was!

Except for Qin Yueran and Qin Canlong, all the Qin family members’ faces changed. This was the Qin family compound! To openly fire guns here, even if just as a show of force, was completely tearing apart all pretense!

From now on, how could the Qin family maintain any face?

Standing on the stage, seeing that Su Rui could go this far for her, even fearless of offending the high officials in the capital, Qin Yueran’s eyes grew increasingly intoxicated!

He could do this much for her, shouldn’t she do something for him in return?

Qin Yueran didn’t realize that the expression in her eyes now was called happiness!

“My goodness, that’s so badass.”

Qin Canlong was watching his old squad leader with shining eyes. Su Rui’s gesture followed by immediate gunfire was extremely cool, making Qin Canlong forget this was happening on his own family’s territory! This guy had been taking the outsider’s side from the beginning!

“You actually dared to fire, you really dared to fire!” Ouyang Xinghai couldn’t believe it. He had never encountered such an unreasonable man who disregarded all rules!

In this man’s eyes, there seemed to be no reason to be reasoned with!

“Ouyang Xinghai has completely lost.” Seeing the young master Ouyang’s flushed face unable to speak, someone below quietly remarked.

“If you’re going to keep repeating the same sentence like a broken record, then please step aside. I need to take Yueran away,” Su Rui said, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at Ouyang Xinghai.

“No, you absolutely cannot take Qin Yueran away! She is mine! She is mine!” Ouyang Xinghai was hysterical! How could his engagement ceremony have turned into this?

“Oh, what gives you the right to stop me? This little body of yours?”

“Get out of my way!”

As Su Rui spoke, he reached out and pushed Ouyang Xinghai aside! The young master Ouyang had intended to resist, but he hadn’t expected the force from Su Rui’s hand to be so strong that he completely lost his balance, stumbled two steps, and sat down hard on the ground!

Utterly embarrassed, completely losing face!

Ouyang Xinghai felt countless gazes shooting at his face, like thousands of arrows piercing his heart!

What do these people care about most? Face!

If one loses face, there’s not much point in continuing to live!

Ouyang Xinghai supported himself with both hands on the ground, his gaze lowered, eyes flashing with viciousness!

Bai Qinchuan shook his head slightly: “This move is quite ruthless.”

With his insight, he could naturally see that Su Rui’s action was completely meant to crush Ouyang Xinghai’s confidence, to thoroughly slap his face!

If Ouyang Xinghai could endure the humiliation, that would be fine, but if he couldn’t overcome this psychological barrier, then this person’s lifetime achievements would end here!

Ouyang Xinghai sat on the ground. Ouyang Jian sat nearby watching his grandson but didn’t step forward to help him up, instead letting out a light sigh!

Just as Su Rui was about to step forward, a man with a goatee beard, waving a feather fan, stood up.

“Young friend, may I say a few words?” The person who stood up was Ji Bangxing!

“Who are you?” Su Rui had seen the profiles of most people present, but this old fellow had never appeared in his memory.

“I am Ji Bangxing.”

“Ji Bangxing?” Hearing this name, Su Rui frowned slightly.

“Young friend, I observe that the killing aura between your brows is quite heavy, likely due to too many killings in your past, gradually clouding your nature.” Ji Bangxing gently waved his feather fan, with the appearance of an enlightened master: “In dealing with matters, one should be calm and peaceful. I advise you…”

However, before Ji Bangxing could finish, he was interrupted by Qin Canlong, who had an “I remember now” expression and said: “Master Ji, I think I remember, weren’t you the one who predicted that my fourth sister has a destiny to bring prosperity to her husband?”

Hearing this, Su Rui slowly clenched his fist, while Qin Yueran also tightened her fist, looking at Ji Bangxing with complex emotions!

This hateful man had truly changed her life!

“Yes, that’s correct.” Ji Bangxing’s face showed a hint of self-satisfaction. In his view, wasn’t Qin Yueran’s current popularity all because of his one statement? Now his position was crucial, and a casual word from him could change someone’s fate!

But, immersed in his self-satisfaction, Ji Bangxing failed to notice the piercing cold light beginning to release from Su Rui’s eyes!

“I said before, the Qin family has a daughter named Yueran, whose destiny star is fixed in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure. This is a husband-prospering fate rarely seen in a thousand years. Whoever marries her will surely soar to great heights and establish world-shaking achievements.” Ji Bangxing smiled faintly: “If I hadn’t said so, how could Miss Yueran have her current status?”

At these words, many people below couldn’t help but agree. It was precisely because of his, Ji Bangxing’s, one statement that the capital’s families began frantically pursuing Qin Yueran.

Especially several Qin family members who nodded secretly, their faces showing self-satisfied expressions. These people believed that Qin Yueran’s husband-prospering fate was something they should be very proud of. In fact, in recent years, their old Qin family had been relying on this to command respect.

Because of those words “husband-prospering fate rarely seen in a thousand years,” Qin Yueran earned the title of “predetermined bride of wealthy families.” Since she was in her teens, people frequently came to propose marriage, and the entire Qin family was almost overwhelmed with choices.

“So, Miss Yueran, you should listen to me. Ouyang Xinghai is the best husband for you according to your fate. His destiny star is opposite yours. If you two unite, you can support each other and achieve unprecedented greatness…” Ji Bangxing said with a smile.

He believed his reputation in the capital was quite high, with an extremely powerful network of connections. Even many high-level leaders would consider his suggestions before acting. Why should he fear a mere gun-toting youngster?

Ji Bangxing wanted to say more, but found that Su Rui had already stepped up to him, one step at a time.

The coldness in his eyes gradually rose, becoming more and more intense!

Ji Bangxing tried to force a smile, but being stared at by Su Rui’s eyes full of coldness and killing intent, his expression became very unnatural, the muscles on his face extremely stiff!

“Young friend, your killing aura is really too heavy, listen to my advice…”

“So this is that charlatan?” Su Rui asked with a cold smile.

“Charlatan?”

Hearing these words, Ji Bangxing immediately flew into a rage!

He was a master respected by everyone in the capital, how could he be a charlatan?

But before his anger could fully ignite, Su Rui had already grabbed his collar with one hand! Like picking up a chicken, he lifted him straight up!

“What are you doing? Let me go, let me go now!” Ji Bangxing’s body was skinny, how could he compare to Su Rui? He felt the other’s hand was like iron tongs, impossible to break free from!

“You bastard who misleads people, I’ve wanted to beat you up for a long time. I didn’t expect you to jump out voluntarily today,” Su Rui said coldly. “Fine, I’ll grant your wish!”

With that, Su Rui delivered a slap, hitting Ji Bangxing hard on his thin face!

Boom!

No one knows how much strength Su Rui put into that blow, but Ji Bangxing felt like his head was about to explode. His left teeth all loosened, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out half his teeth!

Just one slap had left him dizzy and disoriented!

Su Rui held him up with one hand, coldly swept his gaze across everyone in the hall, and said mockingly: “You revere such a charlatan as a master? Do you have any brains?”

No one present spoke, completely intimidated by Su Rui’s aura! This guy was unreasonable and would hit people at the slightest provocation!

Su Rui gave Ji Bangxing another slap, turning his skinny face into a pig’s head!

“If you’re really so good at fortune-telling, then let me ask you, before you came today, did you foresee that you would get beaten up?”
