"You still want to lecture me?" Yuan Keying almost burst out laughing. She had never met anyone so foolish.
Originally, Yuan Keying's plan could not be implemented due to Xu Jun's intervention, forcing her to leave.
Now, thanks to Lu Ming's 'harsh words,' Yuan Keying had a reason to stay.
Liu Haodong and the others were all smiles. They thought it was all over for the day and they couldn't deal with Lu Ming. Who would have expected Lu Ming to voluntarily step out and court death?
Indeed, man proposes, but heaven disposes!
Jiang Mengxin, standing beside them, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wishing she could rush over and slap Lu Ming twice.
Look at you!
Yuan Keying and her group were already leaving, but you had to be so cocky.
Now you've given them an excuse, what are you going to do?
Even Xu Jun frowned slightly, with a hint of blame in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ming. Just because he favored Lu Ming, did that give him the right to provoke others with impunity?
Yuan Keying was, after all, the young lady of the Yuan family, and Xu Jun had to show her some respect.
With such provocation, how could Xu Jun help Lu Ming?
However, considering that Lu Ming had saved the mayor's life, Xu Jun still decided to help Lu Ming a little further.
He said, "Mr. Lu has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense. Alright, alright, everyone, let's not make a fuss. Let's all disperse."
These words were clearly in Lu Ming's favor.
Who would have thought!
Lu Ming raised his head high and said arrogantly, "I'm sorry, Young Master Xu, I haven't had too much to drink at all! I am here today to teach Yuan Keying a lesson and make her behave herself from now on!"
Uh...
Xu Jun was completely stunned.
How could someone deliberately rush into the line of fire like this and refuse to be pulled back?
Yuan Keying was nearly laughing herself sick.
Truly, the world is full of wonders.
She shrugged and said to Xu Jun, "Young Master Xu, you've heard him. It's not that I'm unwilling to let Lu Ming off, but he's unwilling to let me off. If anything unexpected happens today, don't blame me."
Xu Jun sighed deeply.
If a person seeks death, there's no saving them.
Yuan Keying looked at Lu Ming and said, "With Young Master Xu here today, we can't engage in any fighting or heinous acts. However, Lu Ming, our conflict must be resolved. So I suggest we settle it according to the rules of the martial world!"
Lu Ming asked, "What martial world rules?"
Yuan Keying said, "It's very simple. You punch me once, and I punch you once. Whoever can't endure it first loses. Considering you've just recovered from your injuries, I'll let you have the first punch, how about that?"
Lu Ming smiled. "Heh, you want me to punch first? Then I'll have you count. I, one person, will take on ten of your subordinates. I'll fight ten!"
Crazy, absolutely crazy.
Everyone shook their heads.
Who do you think you are, Brother Bullet? Fighting ten people alone.
Moreover, Lu Ming had just taken four bullets yesterday and hadn't fully recovered. He had also just drunk more than 20 cups of alcohol, making his physical condition extremely poor.
Under such circumstances, he still wanted to fight ten people?
This is like lighting a lamp in a latrine – looking for death!
Yuan Keying gave a thumbs-up. "Very good, Lu Ming, your proposal is very fair and just. If you're willing to die, I'm willing to bury you!"
She snapped her fingers, and immediately ten burly, first-class experts surrounded them.
Just by looking at their physique, any one of these ten men could easily knock out Lu Ming.
Yuan Keying said with a sly smile, "According to the martial world rules, if you can't even withstand one punch and are beaten to death, it's not my fault."
"Heh heh." Lu Ming sneered and retorted, "And if I knock all ten of your subordinates unconscious, then what?"
Yuan Keying laughed. "You really have the nerve to say that. Fine, if you manage to knock all ten of my subordinates unconscious, I'll admit defeat. From now on, whenever I, Yuan Keying, see you, Lu Ming, I will yield the path and call you 'good brother'."
Whoosh—
This kind of thing wouldn't be a big deal for ordinary people.
But for Yuan Keying, it was a monumental matter!
Yuan Keying had been doted on since childhood, had a very bad temper, was arrogant and willful, and always wanted to be the 'boss' wherever she went.
Even at home, her brothers dared not speak loudly to her.
To make her yield the path and call someone 'good brother' was truly an extraordinary honor.
Lu Ming nodded. "Agreed. If you can truly do as you say, then you'll have learned a little bit of politeness. You can continue to be educated slowly in the future."
"Still want to educate me? Beat my subordinates first!" Yuan Keying snapped her fingers, and one of the burly men stepped forward, standing in front of Lu Ming.
The man was over 1.9 meters tall, significantly taller than Lu Ming.
He looked down at Lu Ming with contempt and disdain in his eyes. In his opinion, he could crush this little guy Lu Ming with one foot!
He sneered, "Come on, hit me. Look at you, can you even reach me? Do you want me to squat down so you can hit me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Indeed, the height difference was obvious.
Lu Ming remained silent. He took a deep breath, stepped back half a pace, clenched his fist with one hand, and asked, "Ready to get beaten?"
The man was extremely dismissive, making no preparations, and just stood there stiffly.
"You? What preparation do I need?"
Lu Ming said no more and threw a punch.
Bang!!!
The punch landed on the man's abdomen, accompanied by a fierce explosion. The sound was like a hand grenade detonating, piercing people's ears.
The man felt as if he had been hit by a heavy truck head-on.
Instantly.
He was sent flying horizontally, crashing heavily into the wall, creating a huge pit in the wall. Cracks spread across the entire surface!
Thump. The man fell to the ground, his eyes tightly shut, instantly knocked unconscious.
Lu Ming had already held back.
After all, Xu Jun was present, and Lu Ming didn't want to kill anyone in front of him.
Even so, the immense impact of this punch made everyone's hair stand on end.
Was this punch something a human could deliver?
The other nine subordinates looked at the wall in unison, each thinking: If it were me, could I achieve the same effect?
The answer was no.
Any one of them would not have been stronger than Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was simply a superhero!
With just one punch, all of Yuan Keying's subordinates lost their confidence. They had lost the will to fight, and no one wanted to take a similar punch.
Yuan Keying was also startled.
Judging by this, she was going to lose!
She quickly calmed herself and said to her subordinates, "What are you panicking about? He's one, and you're nine! He's already thrown his punch. Now it's your turn to punch. Whoever has the hardest fist, go on!"
The subordinates seemed to wake up from a dream.
But it was true.
Lu Ming might be good at hitting people, but that didn't mean he was good at taking hits.
If they could knock Lu Ming out with one punch, then Yuan Keying would win! Therefore, the outcome was still undecided.
