Chapter 58 - "You look so cool earlier, Dad!" (2)
Frantic, Zhang Qiang quickly explained himself, "I, I, I did not hurt her.
"I am telling the truth. Zhang Cui was the one who brought her over. It had nothing to do with me." Zhang Qiang wanted to place all the blame on Zhang Cui.
"She wasn't very specific so I thought she sent the girl over to be my wife. That was the only reason that I, I attempted to... ..." Noticing Gu Shao's long face, Zhang Qiang stopped himself mid-sentence. "But I failed."
"She sprayed some pepper water on me and brought me down with some sort of electrical devices. I was stuck to the door when I regained consciousness.
"It was that, that door." Zhang Qiang pointed at the door and said, "I am not lying. You can still see the marks left by the benches."
Sure enough, there were some marks on the door. Left by the first strong men who had "saved" Zhang Qiang and got him down.
"I couldn't even move when I was stuck there. I wasn't even able to touch a single strand of hair of hers."
Hearing what Zhang Qiang was saying, Wang Lu and the others were finally able to fill in the missing part in Wang Wu's report.
They just hadn't expected the young miss to be so... uh, mighty.
"I swear I am telling the truth. I was wrong. I shouldn't have evil ideas like that. But, Boss, your daughter was safe. So please let me go."
"I didn't see you letting my daughter go when she was here," said Gu Shao in a deep voice. Recalling the content of the recording, Gu Shao's fists tightened.
Zhang Qiang recoiled a little from fear when he saw that. "Hey, don't, don't get any ideas. I am not afraid of you. It's illegal for you to kill me."
Zhang Qiang didn't know much about the law, but he did know that murdering someone is illegal.
"That's why we will make sure that you are still breathing."
Having said that, Gu Shao took his suit off and handed it over to Wang Lu before he rolled his sleeves up.
Seeing that, Zhang Qiang was fearful. He recoiled some more: Was this man going to hit him? This won't end well for him being beaten up by so many people!
"What? All of you want to beat up just one person?"
"That will be no need for that." Having said that, Gu Shao grabbed Zhang Qiang by his collar and tossed him to one side.
Zhang Qiang hit the shelf behind him and that made a loud banging noise. The shell fell over and all the items fell down from it.
Zhang Qiang saw darkness in front of his eyes and things turned in front of him. When he recollected himself, he was already laying on the ground and every part of his body was hurting from the impact.
Zhang Qiang shouted at the outside, "Help! Someone is trying to kill me!"
Seeing that didn't work, he looked back at Gu Shao fearfully and shouted, "I am going to call the cops! I am going to sue you! You evil forces are bulling me!"
"That's fine." Gu Shao was very calm – even if he let Zhang Qiang to go call the cops, this was just a regular conflict between two citizens. The worst-case scenario was critical mediation. No harm no foul.
"What I am doing to you right now is only coming from a father whose child was harmed."
Having said that, Gu Shao stopped talking and picked Zhang Qiang up one more time.
Zhang Qiang was strong but he was helpless in front of Gu Shao. As much as he had struggled, he wasn't able to avoid the blows from Gu Shao.
Gu Shao did not go easy on him at all and it didn't take long for the angry words coming from Zhang Qiang to turn into tragic wailing.
Looking at how pitiful Zhang Qiang looked, even Wang Lu and the few others shuddered. They had rarely seen their employer get violent and even less often to see him dealing such heavy blows.
That being said, no methods could be more effective than this when one was dealing with a crook.
