A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1780 - 404: Yearning of the Heart, Honored Guest Arrives (Part 1)

A lazy-looking young man came out, seemingly the leader of the group.

His gaze was sly as he looked Yan Xing up and down. The more he looked, the more his eyes lit up: "Not bad, Xiao Hong finally puked. Finally, there’s something different."

Kang Qi’s eyes instantly turned extremely cold.

Yan Xing instinctively shrank back, wondering why Kang Qi seemed so terrifying when that person mentioned Xiao Hong.

Who is this Xiao Hong? Could it be Xia Hongfeng... cough cough....

Yan Xing asked: "Who’s Xiao Hong?"

The man rubbed his chin and laughed: "Why? Didn’t he tell you?"

Yan Xing pursed her lips: "I’m asking you."

"If you accompany me... then I’ll tell you... how about it?"

"Pah, a toad wanting to eat swan meat, don’t you look at yourself," Yan Xing retorted with hands on her hips.

The man immediately became angry: "Little girl, don’t you dare refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. This kid is dirt-poor, follow me and you’ll eat well and live well, or else don’t blame me for being harsh."

Yan Xing hid behind Kang Qi and whispered, "What do we do...?"

Kang Qi pursed his thin lips, "I’ll lure them away, you run first."

Yan Xing grabbed the corner of his clothes stubbornly, "You’re not leaving me."

The man saw them hesitating and coldly snorted: "Catch the little girl for me."

"What about the guy?" a subordinate asked.

The man smirked sinisterly: "Beat him to death."

Several subordinates rushed over, Kang Qi shielded Yan Xing behind him, kicked down a few who came close. Seeing more and more people surrounding them, he couldn’t hold on. Suddenly, someone kicked his leg, making him kneel.

"Kang Qi..." Yan Xing knelt beside him, asked worriedly.

The man walked over coldly: "In this Gusu City, no one dares oppose me, Young Master Hu. In honor of Xiao Hong, I’ll spare your life. Now, take the girl away."

"You dare," Kang Qi looked up coldly, startling Young Master Hu.

"You dare act tough in front of me? You bastard, every time I see you it disgusts me. Don’t think because your mother slept with me a few times that you’re anyone important; killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."

Yan Xing was stunned... so Xiao Hong was Kang Qi’s mother...

"Ah...." Kang Qi shouted, dashed over and tackled Young Master Hu to the ground, raising his fist and slammed it down to Hu’s face.

Young Master Hu’s subordinates immediately pinned Kang Qi down, Hu spit out blood, furiously pointed at Kang Qi: "Kill him."

Fists and kicks rained down, Kang Qi never made a sound, Yan Xing rushed over crying: "Stop hitting, stop it...."

Nobody listened, the hits got worse, beating Kang Qi senselessly.

Yan Xing cried out: "Stop them, they’ll really kill him."

Young Master Hu chuckled: "Want me to release him? Sure, come with me and satisfy me, then I’ll release him."

Yan Xing nodded desperately, sobbing: "Okay okay... I’ll go with you, just stop hitting him."

Young Master Hu gritted his teeth, "Stop."

The people stopped, Kang Qi curled up, hands covering his face, a sorry sight.

Yan Xing rushed over crying: "Kang Qi, how are you?"

Kang Qi suddenly grabbed her wrist, so firmly that it hurt her.

"I’ll protect you..., don’t go with him."

Yan Xing smiled and nodded: "I trust you."

For a pampered young lady who’d never seen the world’s dangers, the past few days had overturned her life’s perspective... yet she never regretted it.

"Take her away," Young Master Hu snorted coldly.

Kang Qi stood shakily, face bruised but posture upright, he shielded Yan Xing firmly behind him, pointed at the menacing crowd, said sternly: "To take her away, step over my corpse."

Yan Xing looked at his figure, thin yet tall, weak yet unyielding, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

"Bastard, if you want to die, I’ll grant you," Young Master Hu ordered coldly: "Beat him to death."

"Young master, a life is a life, maybe we should...." a subordinate quietly suggested.

"I can handle it. Are you defying me?" He kicked him.

A few rushed towards Kang Qi.

"Not good, the police are here," someone suddenly shouted, followed by sirens closing in.

"Young master, this is trouble if the police come, we should leave,"

"What are you afraid of? My father pays the police so much each year. I’m only killing someone, see who the police side with?" Young Master Hu said arrogantly, glancing disdainfully at them.

Police cars stopped, a team of SWAT quickly surrounded Young Master Hu’s group, leaving him dumbfounded.

Then he saw the police chief get out, the chubby chief didn’t even glance at him but quickly walked towards Kang Qi, as if hurrying to reincarnate.

"Bureau Chief Ma, what are you doing? I am...."

"Shut your mouth," Bureau Chief Ma glared at him: "I’ll deal with you later."

Instantly, he smiled obsequiously, changing faces quicker than flipping pages, astonishing Young Master Hu.

Bureau Chief Ma was known for his adaptability. His attitude... gave Young Master Hun a sense of foreboding...

"Miss Yan, I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

Young Master Hu saw Bureau Chief Ma behaving like a henchman to the young girl, more deferential than to the mayor.

Oh no, this girl must have powerful connections. But whatever her background, even a powerful dragon doesn’t overpower a local snake, and in Gusu, Young Master Hu rules.

No matter how capable, she’d never escape his grasp.
