He looked around him and said coldly, “Why are you guys just standing there? Are you all idiots?”
The burly men came to their senses and immediately became enraged.
“Brothers! Looks like this kid has learned kung fu before! Let’s f*ck him up!” Someone shouted.
A few others opened the car boot and pulled out baseball bats and machetes, then distributed to the rest.
“Nothing counters kung fu mastery like a good whack to the noggin! We’ll swarm you with numbers, you son of a b*tch!”
The group of burly men laughed sadistically as they swarmed onto Tang Hao, wielding the baseball bats and machetes.
“Ha! That’s only true against kung fu novices!” Tang Hao chuckled. He tore off his necktie and ran forward.
Facing down a burly man that was running into him, he nimbly dodged aside then punched his abdomen with a fist.
The burly man let out an agonized cry. His body was bent like a prawn and his face was white as a sheet. Foam gurgled from his mouth.
Tang Hao snatched the baseball bat from his hand. He shoved him aside, then hurled the bat at another burly man.
The baseball bat struck the man with a thud and he fell.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao had knocked out two men.
Tang Hao casually stepped forward and casually dodged the attacks. Facing this pack of wolves, he was a ferocious tiger. No one was a match for him. His actions were nimble and sharp, and he knocked out one person with every punch. There was a certain beauty in the violence.
After fighting against the bunch of hooligans last time, Tang Hao had devised a set of martial arts techniques of his own. As his cultivation grew, his techniques also grew stronger in power.
Agonized cries rang out from amid the crowd. People were sent flying and falling. The weapons were scattered all over the place.
Chen Sandao froze on the spot, unable to move. His face was pale, and his well-built body trembled with fear. Sweat drops fell from his forehead.
‘Oh my god!
‘Who the hell is this guy? How can he be so powerful? He’s like a monster!’
His trembling became more and more violent. His heart was panicking.
The scene that unfolded in front of him was like a living nightmare.
As for Qin Xiangyi, her charming eyes were wide and round, she could only stare at the valiant silhouette amid the crowd. The silhouette was not tall or burly, but it looked like a mountain in her eyes.
Thud!
The final person fell.
Tang Hao flexed his wrists and walked toward Chen Sandao.
“Don’t… don’t come near me! Do you hear? Don’t come near!” Chen Sandao cried as he stepped backward.
Tang Hao only smirked. He continued stepping forward, then threw a punch.
“Weren’t you so arrogant just now? Didn’t you say you wanted to cripple me? Now let’s see who’s crippling whom!” Tang Hao threw punches one after another without holding back.
Chen Sandao fell onto the ground and curled into the fetal position as he cried for his father and mother.
Tang Hao continued punching until he was satisfied. He crouched to his level and spoke viciously, “Remember, don’t disturb me, and don’t disturb Sis Xiangyi. Otherwise, be careful of your life.”
Then, he stood up and walked back toward Sis Xiangyi.
Qin Xiangyi was still standing there with a dumbfounded look on her face.
She only came to her senses when Tang Hao appeared in front of her. She looked straight at him. “Lil Tang, can you tell me, just who are you? How are you so proficient in fighting?”
She looked as if she was talking to an alien from outer space.
Tang Hao laughed it away. “Well, I’ve been practicing since I was young. I’m not a kung fu master, but it’s good enough against hooligans like them.”
“Lil Tang, I think I almost don’t know you. You’re a great Chinese physician, and now I know that you know kung fu. Tell me, what else do you know? I’d like to be mentally prepared against any surprises you might pull.” Qin Xiangyi smiled stiffly.
“That’s all there is, really!” Tang Hao [waved his hands].
Qin Xiangyi stifled a laugh.
As she continued looking at Tang Hao, her charming eyes flashed brilliantly.
“Alright, alright. Put on your jacket then,” she handed the jacket in her hands to him.
Tang Hao took the jacket and wore it
Qin Xiangyi stepped forward to straighten his jacket.
Chen Sandao’s heart burned with jealousy as he saw this scene in front of him.
“Dammit, shameless b*tches! Just you wait!” He gritted his teeth, and his face contorted. A killing intent flashed in his eyes.
“Sis Xiangyi, I’ll follow you home. After we reach Azure Sky Gardens, I’ll take a cab from there.” Tang Hao said nervously as he looked behind him.
“Alright then, let’s go!” Qin Xiangyi opened the car door and stepped into the car.
After they reached Azure Sky Gardens and Tang Hao saw that he had safely entered the house, he left the place, hailed a cab and returned to Tang Village.
Once home, he sat down and imbibed another potion of the Liquid of Spiritual Condensation, then started cultivating.
Chapter 19

Tang Hao got out of bed at about eight o’clock in the morning.
He had only slept for a few hours but he felt well-rested.
He contemplated his schedule for the day. After delivering packages, he would have to make a trip to the medicinal herb market.
He needed to buy the components for a few more portions of the Liquid of Spiritual Condensation. Then, the components for the weight loss and aphrodisiac potions and beauty enhancement cream.
He also needed to buy some other medicinal herbs to concoct new types of potion, such as potions for health care and hair growth.
“Health care and hair growth potions… these potions should have business potential.” Tang Hao mumbled. He opened the front gate and pushed his little three-wheeled motorcycle and walked out.
He shut the gate, and just as he was about to hop onto his ride, he heard a booming voice coming from next door.
“Hey, Lil Hao, delivering packages again?”
The voice was piercing and sounded derisive.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows and turned to look. He saw a girthy middle-aged woman coming out of her house. She was holding a rice bowl in her hand and looking at him with disgust.
Tang Hao sighed and cursed his bad luck.
He turned back, pushed his three-wheeled motorcycle and walked toward the road.
“Hey, you little whelp, where are your manners? Don’t you greet your elders when you meet them? Hmph! You’re a hooligan indeed. No manners!” His aunt yelled at him without any reservation.
“My Bowen is still better! He’s a university student. He has knowledge and manners, how outstanding! Unlike you, you’re fated to deliver packages for all your life.
“Sigh! Too bad your dad died early, and he didn’t get to educate you.” She continued talking.
“Enough! Shut up!” Tang Hao could not bear it anymore. He could tolerate her disparaging him. They were relatives after all, and his uncle had helped him before. However, he could not tolerate her talking bad about his father.
“Ha, little whelp! You’ve grown a pair! You dare to talk to me like that!” His aunt was riled. She laid down her rice bowl and chopsticks. With her arms akimbo and her round eyes, she looked like a mad woman.
“Come round, my fellow villagers! Come and look at this uneducated whelp who yelled at me! What an ingrate!”
The people next door heard the commotion and came out of their houses to look. A few young children sneaked out of their houses and scuttled over.
“Pay attention, kids, don’t be like him in the future. He didn’t stay at school and became a hooligan, so he can only do lowly job
s like delivering packages.
“You should learn from my Bowen. Study hard, get into a good university graduate to be a government official. That’s called success.”
The young children looked at her, not quite understanding what she said, then they turned to look at Tang Hao.
“Alright, that’s enough! Can’t you just be kind to our nephew?” His uncle came out of the house.
“Ha! You’re siding him? Why are you siding with this kid who has no manners and no future?” His aunt roared. His uncle was intimidated and did not say anything more.
Tang Hao took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He pushed his little three-wheeled motorcycle and walked on the road.
Just then, he saw a police car come from the end of the road.
Police cars were a rare sight in Tang Village. They attracted a lot of attention.
“Who’s in trouble now?” a few villagers discussed among themselves.
The police car drove straight on the road and stopped near Tang Hao.
The car door opened and two police officers stepped out. One looked to be about fifty, while the other was about twenty.
The middle-aged police officer looked around and shouted, “Which one of you is Tang Hao?”
There was an uproar immediately when the villagers heard that.
The crowd of villagers looked at Tang Hao with strange gazes.
“Why is it Lil Hao? Did he get into trouble somewhere?”
“Why is Lil Hao always in trouble? He was in the hospital for half a month earlier from fighting with hooligans, and now he’s in trouble with the law this time.” The villagers chattered among themselves.
Meanwhile, his aunt became pleased with himself, and her delight was palpable.
“Just look at him, I was right about him. I knew that he’ll run into trouble and go to prison one day. See what’s happening now. It’s such a shame that someone like him exists in Tang Village!”
“That’s right, he brought shame to Tang Village!” Several people agreed, and they looked condescendingly at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was confused when he looked at these police officers. He could not remember if he had done anything against the law.
‘Was it the incident last night?
‘That can’t be! I don’t think the bunch of hooligans called the police!’
The two policemen noticed Tang Hao.
The middle-aged police officer stepped forward and looked at Tang Hao with hostile eyes. “So you’re Tang Hao? Come with us!”
“What’s the matter, officer?” Tang Hao said.
“We’ve received a tip that you are involved in a robbery. We would like you to assist us with investigations,” the middle-aged officer replied coldly.
The discussions among the villages suddenly became more intense.
“Oh! And a robbery too! I didn’t know that he’s like that. This kid looks human but he’s actually a thief. Our Tang Village’s reputation is ruined,” his aunt shouted.
The villagers’ gazes became more and more condescending.
“I didn’t expect Lil Hao to be like that!”
“No wonder! His dad died when he was young and no one looked after him. He’ll eventually get into trouble.” The villagers discussed in hushed voices.
Tang Hao’s face changed and he felt anger well in his heart.
‘Robbery?
‘How was it possible! This is made-up!
‘Someone tipped them off? Someone is framing me!’
He suddenly recalled what Zhang Tianhao said.
“Excuse me, officers. Might you be mistaken? Even if you’ve received a tip, shouldn’t you verify that it’s true?” Tang Hao said.
“Of course we have.” The middle-aged police officer was stoic. “We did a check on your bank account and found that you have more than eight hundred thousand yuan in it. We also know that you’re only a delivery boy, so tell me, how does a delivery boy get eight hundred thousand yuan?”
The discussions became more intense again.
“Eight hundred thousand yuan? Oh my god! Where did Lil Hao get this much money? He must have stolen it!”
“Stealing eight hundred thousand yuan? How many years of prison is that?”
Tang Hao suppressed his anger and said, “I earned this money with my own hands. It’s not stolen money. As for the robbery, it’s all made up. I’m being framed.”
“Ha!” The middle-aged police officer smirked. “Still arguing? You’re just a delivery boy, how did you earn eight hundred thousand yuan? You can’t even fetch that much money if you sold your body.”
His face became vicious and turned to order at the younger police officer. “Cuff him! We’ll bring him back and interrogate him.”
Tang Hao finally noticed that something was not quite right.
This middle-aged police officer was deliberately picking a bone with him.
He thought carefully again and recalled that Zhang Tianhao had mentioned that he had an uncle who was a police officer. Was this him?
If that were the case, then there was no use talking sense. This police officer was out to get him. Even if he was found innocent, his reputation would still be ruined.

“Wait!”
Tang Hao took a step backward and roared.
“Still trying to deny it?” The middle-aged police officer smirked.
Tang Hao was a lot more composed. “Officer, your surname is Zhang, right? I wonder if you know a certain Zhang Tianhao?”
The middle-aged police officer’s face changed, but quickly regained his composure and he looked more vicious than ever. “Yes, my surname is Zhang, but what about it? I don’t know who this Zhang Tianhao is.
“I warn you, if you don’t give us your fullest cooperation, we will arrest you by force. I don’t think you would want to lose face in front of all your fellow relatives and villagers!”
“I can at least make a phone call, right?” Tang Hao replied casually.
The middle-aged police officer was surprised, then he smirked.
‘He is only a poor kid from a rural village. He’s probably lucky that he has a cute face and has a sugar momma. What kind of person might he know? He’s just stalling for time.’
“Alright, make your call then! I’ll tell you, there’s no use even if you called The Emperor for Heaven,” he boasted.
Tang Hao calmly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Liu Dajun’s number.
Liu Dajun was in the property business. He was very well-connected and carried a certain authority. He should be able to help him.
The dial tone beeped for a few times before the call went through. On the other end of the call was Liu Dajun’s spirited voice.
“Hey, it’s Lil Tang! Missing me so early in the morning?”
“Big Bro Liu, I’m in some trouble now. Two police officers looked for me, they said I’m involved in a robbery and want to arrest me.”
“What?” On the other side of the call, Tang Hao could hear Liu Dajun jump.
“Dammit, which bastard wants to frame my Brother Tang? What robbery is he talking about? What a mess. With your talents, why would you need to go rob money? They’re definitely mistaken!”
“Big Bro Liu, they’re adamant in saying that the eight hundred thousand yuan in my bank account is stolen loot,” Tang Hao said.
“What? Stolen loot? Dammit, these two police officers must be blind! Can’t they trace the transaction records? Don’t tell me… they’re framing you?”
Liu Dajun realized what was going on.
“Don’t panic, Lil Tang. Do not go with them. Now, hand them your phone,” Liu Dajun said.
Tang Hao agreed, then handed the phone to the police officer.
The middle-aged police officer furrowed his brows and was puzzled. He took the phone anyway.
“Who’s this?” Liu Dajun asked.
“Who the hell are you? I
tell you, there’s a suspect of a serious crime here. I’m bringing him back to the police station for interrogation,” the police officer shouted into the phone.
“Dammit, I am Liu Dajun! Do you know who Liu Dajun is? Who are you, tell me your name!” Liu Dajun started scolding him over the phone.
The middle-aged police officer was confused. The name ‘Liu Dajun’ sounded familiar.
“Which Liu Dajun is this?”
“Dammit, how many Liu Dajuns are there in the entire Westridge District? Brilliant Property, ever heard of it?”
The middle-aged police officer trembled and broke out in cold sweat.
Liu Dajun was the president of Brilliant Property. How would he not know who he was? He was one of the most prolific people in the entire Westridge District.
He would not have been intimidated if he was on official duty and if there was an actual serious crime. However, he was there to prank the kid.
His face turned pale, and his heart thumped in his chest.
‘Dammit, how can this country bumpkin have any relation with the president of Brilliant Property? I thought he had a sugar momma! I’m finished. If he lets my boss know about this, I’m totally finished!’
The police officer swallowed hard. He raised his other hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
“You… you are really… President Liu?”
“You don’t say?”
“Pre… President Liu! This… this is a misunderstanding!” He stammered out of anxiety.
“Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding my ass! You just wait there, I’m coming over. Don’t even think of running away!” After President Liu finished speaking, he hung up the call.
The middle-aged police officer’s face was ashen. His hand was trembling as he grasped the phone.
He was already cursing Zhang Tianhao down to hell in his heart.
‘What did he mean by ‘He’s just a country bumpkin, you’ll have a good time tormenting him’? It’s all a trap! If he can get the president of Brilliant Property to come to his aid, how can he be an easy target?
