Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 166: Treat People with Courtesy

Xu Xiangbei still wore the same nonchalant expression, grinning mischievously at Lu Daan, like a detestable, slime-covered eel weaving through the fist wind.

Lu Daan’s punches were fiercely intimidating, yet he could never land a hit on Xu Xiangbei.

One punch, two punches missed Xu Xiangbei, and Lu Daan thought it was Xu Xiangbei’s cleverness or just pure luck that let him dodge.

He threw over a hundred punches, executing the twelve most deadly moves of the Lu Family Fist three times over, exhausting his arms to the point of soreness and legs to trembling, yet still hadn’t touched even the corner of Xu Xiangbei’s clothes. Only then did Lu Daan realize something was wrong.

A sudden fear gripped his heart, feeling like Xu Xiangbei was a cunning cat and he was a clumsy mouse, being toyed with in the palm of his hand.

Any subtle change in his heart could not escape Xu Xiangbei’s eyes.

Xu Xiangbei chuckled: "No new tricks? You’ve used up all your twelve killer moves?"

Lu Daan’s face turned pale, shocked that Xu Xiangbei actually knew the twelve killer moves among the Lu Family’s twenty-four punches. Had he learned Lu Family Fist? Impossible.

The Lu Family Fist is never taught to outsiders, only direct family members. How could he know?

Seeing Lu Daan’s eyes almost bulging out in disbelief, Xu Xiangbei mocked him dismissively: "Don’t overthink it, those are just a few moves, even a fool can figure them out. If you had a hundred and twenty moves, I might not see through them, but with twelve moves, watching you perform them a few times, even a child could learn them. I’ll show you."

With a loud bang, Xu Xiangbei struck out with both fists forcefully, landing heavily on Lu Daan’s knees, causing him to involuntarily kneel down with a thud.

The crowd around them gasped in disbelief that Xu Xiangbei, who had been dodging timidly all along, knocked down the strong, ever-victorious Lu Daan with a single punch, leaving him kneeling there, unable to get up for a long time.

Xu Xiangbei took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking, blowing the thick smoke onto Lu Daan’s face.

He grinned mischievously and said: "Does it hurt? Then it’s right. But I advise you, don’t move too much. Stay kneeling here for a bit, and after a while, it won’t hurt so much; you’ll naturally be able to get up. If you’re afraid of pain and try to force yourself to stand up, your knees will be useless, and you’ll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."

Knowing Xu Xiangbei’s prowess, Lu Daan decided it was better to believe him than not, terrified and pale, afraid to move recklessly, obediently kneeling there.

But it felt like kneeling on pins, with the stabbing pain in his knees nearly causing him to faint.

Xu Xiangbei admonished him: "You brat, truly a scumbag, crashed someone else’s motorcycle and don’t even want to pay. Do you relent now? Willing to pay?"

Lu Daan was sweating profusely with pain, his face ashen: "Spare me, I was wrong. I’ll pay whatever it takes."

"Knowing this, why act like that initially? Also, you’re so rude. Uncle Chen has always been kind to you, yet you show him no respect at all; don’t you deserve a beating?"

"I deserve a beating, I’ll show respect to Uncle Chen in the future."

"Not only Uncle Chen, you should respect the old and cherish the young. Do not resort to fists, treat people with courtesy. If you don’t know what courtesy is, let me teach you well."

Lu Daan gritted his teeth against the pain, fearfully replied: "I understand, from now on I’ll treat people with courtesy."

Uncle Chen had been standing beside Xu Xiangbei all along, originally intending to persuade Xu Xiangbei to spare Lu Daan. Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s teachings to be reasonable, he quietly observed without interrupting.

Xu Xiangbei turned to Uncle Chen, smiling: "Uncle Chen, did I do right in chastising your subordinate?"

Uncle Chen smiled helplessly: "You’re right, thank you Dr. Xu for your proper guidance."

Just as Xu Xiangbei said, Lu Daan’s knees didn’t hurt as much anymore, but he still dared not get up, fearing Xu Xiangbei’s words were true, that moving recklessly would ruin his knees.

He cast a pleading glance at Xu Xiangbei, looking pitiable, his former arrogance entirely gone.

Xu Xiangbei laughed: "Alright, get up. What, do you want a red envelope from me?"

Lu Daan stood up anxiously, the knee pain vanished, and he tried kicking his legs, finding them as good as new, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

There was still a hint of resentment in Lu Daan’s eyes, but in front of Xu Xiangbei, he was like a wilted fighting cock, dejected and obedient.

As agreed, Lu Daan compensated the Motorcycle Gang with ten thousand yuan, Xu Xiangbei searched the crowd for Black Rose, only to find she had slipped away long ago. Trying to get a kiss from her was indeed difficult.

Xu Xiangbei said goodbye to Ah Jun, preparing to return to Spring Villa when he received a call from Liu Ningyan.

Liu Ningyan’s voice was like the sound of a clear spring, pleasant and melodious: "Brother Xu, where are you?"

Xu Xiangbei smiled slyly: "I’m at home. Missing me?"

Liu Ningyan’s tinkling laughter came through the phone: "Brother Xu, you really are a jokester. I helped locate your Uncle Gu’s phone last night, naturally I can also locate yours. Are you near the café on the mountain road?"

Xu Xiangbei widened his eyes, looking around, but didn’t spot Liu Ningyan in the crowd. Did this girl really locate my phone?

It was last night that Liu Ningyan helped him locate Gu Chengjun’s phone, which led him to Gu Chengjun at the Marriott Grand Hotel and capture him successfully.

He smiled wryly: "Beauty, you’re infringing on personal privacy. Is there a reason you’re looking for me?"

Liu Ningyan’s tone was relaxed: "Just want to invite you to dinner."

Xu Xiangbei squinted: "That simple?"

"Just that simple."

"When a beauty invites me to dinner, of course, I have to go. Tell me the address, I’ll be there shortly."

"The dumpling shop in the alley beside the school, the usual spot, see you there."

Last time, after curing Liu Ningyan’s stubborn ailment, she invited him to a meal at the dumpling shop—a simple little restaurant with tastes that appeal to the masses, bland yet memorable, making one want to revisit.

Xu Xiangbei parked his silver lightning at the school parking lot.

Captain Feng, the security guard, knew he was the school doctor. Director Wu had specially instructed to give Xu Xiangbei special treatment, so he quickly pressed the button to lift the barrier, allowing Xu Xiangbei to drive into the parking lot.

He walked out of the monitoring station, greeted warmly: "Dr. Xu, got a new car, huh? This car is really nice."

Hearing Captain Feng praising his car, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit pleased, handing over a cigarette: "Hello, Captain Feng. I’m going to grab a meal at the restaurant nearby and will be back. Please keep an eye on my car, make sure no one scratches it."

At the school’s entrance parking lot, complaints of scratched cars are often heard.

Captain Feng smiled warmly: "No problem, just park it here. This spot is the safest, with surveillance cameras on both sides. I’ll keep a clear eye on it."
