Chapter 083 Former Military Green Flower
Time flows like water, but life is not necessarily like a song.
The once passionate youth, the once burning years, have all been gradually covered with dust in the passage of time.
Those young and fair faces, those bright and moving gazes, most will be gradually worn down to dimness by time, with only a very few continuing to radiate the same captivating brilliance as before.
Su Rui had a deep impression of Ke Ning. Indeed, in a military camp full of muscular men, the appearance of such a beautiful woman was undoubtedly a tremendous sensation.
Tall figure, bright smile, excellent military skills – such a girl was practically a national treasure in the company. All the men surrounded her with attentions. Thinking back now, it seemed she truly only favored Su Rui.
During those three months, if Su Rui had been willing, there definitely could have been a feeling beyond friendship developing between them. But Su Rui knew his identity, and that identity did not allow him to have emotions.
No matter how beautiful the scenery, I just move forward in silence. Alone, fearless.
If Qin Canlong hadn’t mentioned it, perhaps Su Rui would have thought of this girl someday in the future, perhaps with a faint sigh.
The past is like smoke, gradually dispersing. Su Rui clinked glasses with Qin Canlong again, and they both drained their drinks.
“Is she not doing well?”
“Probably not doing well.”
Qin Canlong’s tone carried uncertainty, as well as melancholy.
“What do you mean?”
“Ke Ning is beautiful, has a good figure, and was recognized as the beauty of our military region.”
Qin Canlong took a sip of wine and continued calmly: “Being beautiful makes one easily coveted. That’s what happened to Ke Ning – she caught the eye of a so-called young master from the capital. Although I don’t know who this young master is, I can guess that this guy’s status must be above that of young masters like me.”
“Above you?”
Su Rui was somewhat surprised hearing this. He already thought Qin Canlong was a fairly powerful young master from the capital. If this person’s status was even above Qin Canlong’s, then his position would be simply unimaginable.
“I’m nothing special, not even ranking among the so-called Capital Four Young Masters, far from it,” Qin Canlong said. “I don’t know exactly who that guy is, but his power is truly immense.”
“What exactly happened?” Su Rui raised his eyebrows. From before until now, what he hated most was this kind of bullying behavior using power.
“That mysterious guy somehow took a liking to Ke Ning and sent people to force her to become his mistress. But you know Ke Ning’s personality – she absolutely refused to agree. After the first, second, third time, she thoroughly angered him.”
“Originally, Ke Ning could have been promoted to Major, but that guy just said one word and had her placed on the transfer list – clean and swift, without any delay. This is something I probably couldn’t even do,” Qin Canlong said with a bitter smile. “Because even if I gave such an order to mess around, the elders in my family wouldn’t agree.”
“And then what happened?”
“Ke Ning transferred back to her hometown in Yizhou, but things didn’t go well there either. That guy’s reach was incredibly long – no one in the entire Yizhou government dared to withstand the pressure to arrange a job for Ke Ning. She was a Captain with a promising future in the military, but later couldn’t even get a clerk position!”
Su Rui felt anger rising in his heart. He slammed his glass heavily on the table and said, “That’s too much!”
“Not only that, when Ke Ning couldn’t wait for the military transfer office to arrange work and went to find a job herself, every enterprise that hired her would get attacked by gangsters. Later, no one in all of Yizhou dared to employ Ke Ning. That guy was using these methods to torment Ke Ning, forcing her to submit.”
“He deserves to die!” Su Rui’s anger was thoroughly provoked. Such a bastard who used his power to bully and seize women should be cut into a thousand pieces!
“He truly deserves to die! Later, Ke Ning couldn’t stay in Yizhou anymore and disappeared. China is just too vast, and now I can’t find any information about her.” Qin Canlong said bitterly, “Unfortunately, I don’t even know who that person is who’s behind all this.”
Su Rui let out a long sigh. Ke Ning was, after all, his friend. Encountering such a situation, he couldn’t help but feel sad and angry.
She could have had a youth as beautiful as flowers, could have had an infinitely bright future, but because of her beauty, someone sabotaged her behind her back, abruptly ending her promising future.
“I don’t know if that guy has given up on Ke Ning. If he hasn’t, Ke Ning’s situation is still dangerous,” Qin Canlong sighed.
“Let’s hope he’s given up.” Su Rui drank another glass of beer and said, “Let me handle finding Ke Ning’s whereabouts. Once we have news, we’ll go together.”
“Good.”
Qin Canlong said, “Big brother, once the cooperation with Bikang is settled, I’ll immediately return to the capital. There are many things to handle there. Next week I’ll come to Ninghai again for an industry association’s annual gathering. We can drink together then.”
The two ate and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already past midnight. A large case of beer was empty.
Su Rui was still fine, just a bit red-faced and full in the stomach, while Qin Canlong was obviously a bit dizzy, starting to slur his words, holding Su Rui’s hand and babbling endlessly.
Perhaps, for many years, few people had seen Young Master Qin in such a state!
There were still many students coming and going in the barbecue restaurant, showing how colorful the nightlife of university students in big cities is nowadays. After eating and drinking, they return to their dormitories to play a few games of LOL together – truly enjoyable.
Just then, a dispute suddenly broke out at one table!
Several tall male students walked over and surrounded three female students sitting at that table.
The four male students had obviously been drinking, their faces red, their behavior rough! They were pulling and tugging at the girls!
“Zhang Zhenyang, enough is enough, we’ve broken up!” A petite girl whose wrist was being grabbed by a male student was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes!
“You’re the one who wanted to break up, did I agree? Did I agree?” The male student called Zhang Zhenyang shouted angrily, obviously very agitated.
“Zhang Zhenyang, get this straight, if we hadn’t caught you in a hotel room with another girl, would you have admitted it? You made the mistake, yet you have the nerve to blame Xiaoling, and now you have the face to come find us!” Another girl who couldn’t stand it anymore scolded.
“What business is it of yours? I love her, I love her, do you understand?” Zhang Zhenyang continued to roar.
The girl sneered: “If you loved her, would you treat her like this? Look, Xiaoling is crying from the pain you’re causing!”
“She deserves to cry in pain for dumping me!” Zhang Zhenyang raged, reeking of alcohol. “I can dump others, but no one can dump me!”
“You keep saying you love me, is this how you show love?” The girl called Xiaoling couldn’t help but feel afraid; she was truly frightened by her ex-boyfriend’s ferocious appearance.
“That’s right! Zhang Zhenyang, let go of Xiaoling!” The girl beside her began to pull at the male student.
“None of your business, get lost!”
Zhang Zhenyang, tall and strong, slapped out, directly knocking the intervening girl to the ground! Her cheek swelled up quickly!
Qin Canlong and Su Rui had just been talking about Ke Ning’s situation and were already angry. Now, encountering Zhang Zhenyang bullying girls was like running straight into their gun sights!
“Bastard!”
Qin Canlong slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily: “Let that girl go!”
Zhang Zhenyang was stunned, then roared: “Who the hell are you? I’m disciplining my girlfriend, what’s it to you! Brothers, beat him up!”
All four male students had been drinking and immediately moved to attack!
Qin Canlong’s wild nature was provoked, and already being angry, in a fit of rage, he directly flipped the table!
“Big brother, shall we fight today?” Qin Canlong pulled hard, and two buttons on his shirt popped open!
“Yes.” Su Rui nodded. This Zhang Zhenyang also made him very unhappy!
“Big brother, don’t get involved. I can handle all of them myself!”
With that, Qin Canlong grabbed a stool and swung it down hard!
This blow was truly not light. The first male student who charged forward was directly knocked to the ground, blood instantly blooming on his head, more effective than in the movies!
Qin Canlong showed no mercy to these immature boys who liked to act tough. With a kick, the second one was sent flying several meters! He crashed heavily against the wall!
These two gentlemen were already angry with nowhere to vent, and these boys had just run into their gun sights!
Seeing the situation turn bad, Zhang Zhenyang and another male student turned to run!
“Still trying to run? Looking to die? Lie down for me!”
With that, Qin Canlong grabbed a chair and threw it directly! It hit Zhang Zhenyang square in the back!
Crack!
It wasn’t clear if it was the chair that broke or his backbone!
This previously arrogant male student now lay on the ground, motionless!
“Don’t… don’t hit me, don’t hit me.” The only male student who hadn’t been injured crouched on the ground, trembling all over. Su Rui and Qin Canlong’s bloody methods had really scared him. He didn’t want to end up like his companions!
There was no need for Su Rui to handle such a small character; Qin Canlong could completely take care of it himself.
“You’re begging me not to hit you? Do you think that’s possible?” Looking at this trembling male student, Qin Canlong sneered: “In my view, I have absolutely no reason to forgive you, because if our positions were reversed and I were begging you, you would definitely laugh heartily while beating me up, wouldn’t you?”
“No… no, no…”
Before the male student could finish his stuttering, Qin Canlong picked up a stool again and smashed it heavily on his back!
Bang!
This male student fell face-first to the ground, his eyes rolling back as he passed out!
Qin Canlong threw away the stool and grinned: “Hehe, well, hitting people with a stool is quite satisfying.”
The girls were frightened. They had never seen such a fierce fight before. Although Su Rui and Qin Canlong were helping them get revenge, these young girls hadn’t yet processed what happened and couldn’t muster the courage to come forward and thank them.
“Satisfying my ass.” Su Rui looked at the police car parked nearby and said irritably: “Seems like next time we should look around more carefully before fighting. The police are right here having a late-night snack.”
