Chapter 289: All-out Fight
Huang Meiqi and Shi Hengliang happened to meet Lu Yiming, a man of great martial virtue, when they were at Shi Qingxue's house last night. They didn't get what they wanted and had to return empty-handed.
As a result, after returning home, the mother and son, who had always been greedy, became more and more confused, especially Huang Meiqi. In her opinion, why didn't she give her own son's things to manage, but instead left them to an "outsider" like Shi Qingxue?
So the two of them discussed it and decided to go directly to Shi Qingxue today to "reason".
Didn't General Shi Cai say that all the property was in Shi Qingxue's hands? Then why don't we just go find Shi Qingxue?
Faced with this ferocious grandmother, Shi Qingxue had tears in her eyes, but she still held her head high and refused their unreasonable demands: "I won't sign it, so just give up on it."
However, Shi Qingxue's tough attitude made Huang Meiqi very angry.
It was fine that everyone was being stubborn yesterday because Lu Yiming was present, but now Shi Qingxue was the only one left and she refused to obey. This made Huang Meiqi, the grandmother, feel very embarrassed.
"You money-loser, I tried to talk to you in a nice way, but you ignored me? Hand it over now, or I'll make you pay!"
Shi Qingxue gritted her teeth and still shook her head: "Impossible!"
She didn't have a people-pleasing personality that was born to lack love, and she had never had any good feelings towards her grandmother Huang Meiqi, so naturally she wouldn't do what she said.
However, Shi Qingxue's refusal made Shi Hengliang furious. He now dreamed about his elder brother's money and stocks, as well as the antique mansion where Shi Qingxue's family of three lived.
In his opinion, since these things belonged to his elder brother, they should also be his!
Thinking of this, Shi Hengliang walked up to Shi Qingxue and slapped her on the pink cheek, saying viciously, "How dare you! How dare you talk to your grandma like that? You are simply disloyal and unfilial! You are an uneducated thing. I am giving you this slap on behalf of your parents."
Shi Qingxue didn't expect that Shi Hengliang would actually hit her. She covered her cheeks with her hands, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to cry out loud. Instead, she stared at Shi Hengliang and Huang Meiqi stubbornly, confronting them with an attitude that she would never give in.
"Damn it, this guy really deserves a beating."
Shi Hengliang cursed and raised his hand again.
"You don't agree, right? Then I'll beat you until you agree."
Zhu Hanwen was so stunned watching the whole thing that he didn't have time to stop Shi Hengliang's brutality.
He had only seen this kind of family infighting drama on TV before, and never thought that this scene would appear right in front of him.
Seeing the bloody handprint slowly appearing on Shi Qingxue's cheek, Zhu Hanwen, as Shi Qingxue's class teacher, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Seeing Shi Hengliang raising his hand and wanting to continue beating people, he immediately stood up, blocked Shi Qingxue's way, and shouted at her: "Stop! You two are too lawless! You actually ran into the school during class to beat up students?"
Zhu Hanwen wanted to call the security guard, but he was afraid that the two would continue to attack Shi Qingxue while he was away.
Just as Zhu Hanwen was thinking about what to do, Lu Yiming, who had just returned from the bathroom, did not find Shi Qingxue. When he passed by the teacher's office, he found Shi Qingxue in the office and walked in.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. He saw the red palm print on Shi Qingxue's face at a glance.
Suddenly, Lu Yiming's eyes were bloodshot, and his angry eyes were immediately fixed on Huang Meiqi and Shi Hengliang.
He bit his back teeth and asked in a very low and cold voice, "Who slapped you?"
When she saw Lu Yiming coming, Shi Qingxue seemed to have found her backbone. She could no longer bear the grievances in her heart and threw herself into his arms, crying.
Seeing Lu Yiming again, Shi Hengliang was immediately furious. Although he didn't expect Lu Yiming to appear at this place at this time, he still stood in front of him arrogantly: "What's wrong with me hitting her? I'm her elder, she's ignorant, can't I discipline her?"
Lu Yiming turned around, stepped forward and kicked Shi Hengliang in the stomach without saying a word, causing Shi Hengliang to fall under an office desk.
“Ouch… Ouch…”
Shi Hengliang held his stomach with both hands, and his whole body looked like a cooked shrimp, with beads of sweat as big as beans coming out of his body. He held his stomach with both hands and wailed in pain.
Huang Meiqi was immediately distressed when she saw him. She first ran to Shi Hengliang and squatted down, then asked anxiously, "How are you? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Shi Hengliang was gasping for air in pain, feeling as if his internal organs were churning, and he was unable to speak at all.
Huang Meiqi stood up and looked at Lu Yiming. She was so angry that she stomped her feet and pointed her right index finger at Lu Yiming. She was shaking all over and her facial features were distorted. However, she couldn't find a word to curse Lu Yiming that matched her current mood. So she simply rushed towards Lu Yiming like a dump truck, as if she wanted to hit him to death.
Although she was already quite old, Lu Yiming didn't tolerate her at all. He simply slapped her with his backhand, and made her spin like a top. She staggered several times and finally bumped into an office desk, making an earth-shaking noise.
Afterwards, the already somewhat rotten desk could no longer bear her weight and began to creak and shake, eventually falling to the ground with her. The two legs of the desk broke under the weight, and several stacks of homework books on the desk were scattered all over the floor.
Huang Meiqi is already over 60 years old, but fortunately she is obese and has good shock absorption properties, so she did not suffer any injuries after falling to the ground.
But being slapped in the face by the young man was still a very embarrassing thing for her.
She just spread her legs and sat on the ground, shaking her head, slapping the floor with her hands, and crying loudly: "Students hit people, students hit the elderly..."
After taking a photo for a while, she found that no one was paying attention to her. She felt even more wronged. With her hair disheveled, she glared at Zhu Hanwen and cried out in a sharp voice: "A student hit someone. As a teacher, do you still care?"
Zhu Hanwen looked at Lu Yiming, sighed and said, "Student Lu Yiming, this is your fault. How could you do this in school? In front of so many people, you messed up my office. It will be very troublesome for me to clean up later."
Shi Qingxue whispered, "Um... Teacher Zhu, how about I help you clean it up after school?"
Lu Yiming also showed a repentant expression on his face, and he admitted in an extremely sincere tone that he was indeed inconsiderate: "Teacher, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have fought in school, next time I will fight outside, and I promise not to mess up your office again."
Zhu Hanwen then said with relief: "That's pretty good. This kid is really teachable."
Then, Zhu Hanwen looked at Huang Meiqi and said seriously, "Auntie, I have already criticized and educated this classmate for you, and he has deeply realized his mistakes."
Even if Huang Meiqi was uneducated, she could still feel Zhu Hanwen's favoritism towards Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue.
And in fact, this was indeed the case. Huang Meiqi and Shi Hengliang entered the school on the pretext that Shi Qingxue's grandmother came to visit her granddaughter. When they arrived at the office, they began to make things difficult for Zhu Hanwen. After Shi Qingxue arrived, they even started to attack him directly. Zhu Hanwen was extremely dissatisfied with the two of them, but he did not show any anger because of his status as a teacher.
Now that Lu Yiming had beaten both of them, he wanted to applaud . How could he go against his conscience and "uphold justice"?
Huang Meiqi saw that Zhu Hanwen could no longer side with her, so she got up from the ground, looked at Lu Yiming with murderous eyes, and threatened: "This matter is not over yet, I will definitely have you expelled from this school!"
After saying these harsh words, Huang Meiqi stomped her feet and walked out. Shi Hengliang, who was still twisted in agony on the ground, was finally able to speak. He shouted, "Mom, don't leave me..."
Lu Yiming smiled coldly at the background of the two people: "This matter is indeed not over. I will crush you like crushing two ants. If you dare to have ideas about Xiaoxue again, I will make you live a life worse than death and regret it for the rest of your life."
After saying that, Lu Yiming took Shi Qingxue's hand and left the office.
In the corridor beside the playground, Shi Qingxue was sitting on a stone bench crying.
"How can grandma and uncle be so excessive? I am also my father's daughter. Why do they treat me like this?"
At this moment, she was like a wounded deer, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Lu Yiming stretched out his finger and gently touched the slap mark on her face, and asked softly: "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
Shi Qingxue shook her head slightly and sobbed softly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Lu Yiming knew why she felt upset. Having met such bad relatives like Huang Meiqi and Shi Hengliang, it can only be said that Shi Qingxue's life was really too bad.
"Don't be sad, it's not worth it for people like them."
"Well, I'll listen to you."
"I will protect you well in the future."
"Lu Yiming, you are so nice."
Shi Qingxue wiped away her tears and leaned on Lu Yiming's shoulder.
Lu Yiming lowered his head slightly and kissed Shi Qingxue's forehead. Shi Qingxue's whole body stiffened for a moment, but she did not dodge.
Although he had a beautiful woman in his arms, Lu Yiming's thoughts had already drifted away.
He has made up his mind to make Huang Meiqi and Shi Hengliang pay the price.
Lu Yiming never thought of himself as a good man, nor did he think that doing evil had anything to do with age.
Some people become more and more evil as they get older, and take advantage of their seniority to bully others. Lu Yiming thinks that such people should be severely punished in order to correct the social atmosphere.
The two sat on the bench for a while. When the bell rang, Lu Yiming gently supported Shi Qingxue's back and said, "Let's go to class."
"Um."
The two entered the classroom and sat down. While the teacher was not yet in the classroom, Lu Yiming slipped out of the classroom and called Li Qiu.
"Are you busy?"
"No, what do you want, Mr. Lu?"
"Help me investigate two people. One is a woman in her sixties named Huang Meiqi, and the other is her son named Shi Hengliang. Huang Meiqi is Shi Caijiang's biological mother, and Shi Hengliang is Shi Caijiang's younger brother. As usual, the more detailed the information, the more money you get. The faster you do it."
"Okay, no problem."
Li Qiu knew that Lu Yiming was a big customer with plenty of money. In addition, when he was investigating Shi Caijiang before, he also had a basic understanding of Shi Caijiang's family situation, so a lot of information was ready.
However, Li Qiu did not slack off and immediately mobilized his network of connections to look for more information.
Early the next morning, Lu Yiming just walked out of the villa and saw Li Qiu waiting outside with a folder.
"Mr. Lu."
Li Qiu bowed slightly, then handed over a folder that was neither too thick nor too thin with both hands: "Here is the information you requested."
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and joked, "So fast? You're not going to just pick something up to fool me, are you?"
Li Qiu remained calm and looked at Lu Yiming calmly: "Mr. Lu, you are joking. This is just the magic of money. I guarantee with my future that the authenticity of the information is absolutely reliable."
Lu Yiming also trusts Li Qiu very much, because he knows that Li Qiu will not fool him, nor dare to fool him.
Although it sounds ridiculous to say that you need to be honest in business, the more shady the business is, the more you have to be honest if you want to keep it going for a long time. Especially for a business like Li Qiu's, if you fool around once, your reputation in the industry will basically be gone.
He is an ambitious man and naturally will not joke about his own prospects and future.
After all, strength is strength, and sometimes lack of strength is understandable, but fooling around is a problem of attitude. If there is a problem with attitude, you will not be able to survive in this industry.
Lu Yiming was not stingy either. He took out his checkbook and pen and quickly wrote down a few numbers.
A full one and a half million!
After taking the check, Li Qiu felt a little short of breath.
It’s not that I haven’t seen the world, it’s just that the mission this time is too simple, and compared to the price, the cost performance is too incredible.
"Mr. Lu is so generous! If you need me, Old Li, in the future, just say the word and I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
It is said that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Seeing that Lu Yiming is so generous in doing things, Li Qiu is naturally willing to work for him.
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said with a smile: "There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Of course he knew that the 1.5 million was a huge premium, but in business, everyone gets what they need, and there is no such thing as cost-effectiveness.
Li Qiu can bring him what he wants, and his efficiency is so high, so Li Qiu is worth the price.
When it comes to big things, especially when it comes to winning people's hearts, Lu Yiming has always been quite generous.
Because Lu Yiming himself was once a worker, he naturally understood the real mentality of workers - a monthly salary of three to five thousand, a boss who is just a stinky brother, and work? Do it! Let me slack off first!
And if the monthly salary is 30,000 or 50,000? The boss is my real father, and no one can stop me from calling him dad!
If you want horses to work hard, you must let them eat grass, and they must eat well and be full. In this way, do you still worry that they will not work hard?
Especially special talents like Li Qiu, they must be won over. After all, the importance of intelligence is often the irreplaceable key to victory no matter in which era.
After Li Qiu left with the check, Lu Yiming ate breakfast while opening the file bag, took out the information inside and read it slowly. He soon had a clear grasp of Shi Hengliang's personal information and social relationships.
"It's time for you to pay the price."
Lu Yiming's tone was grim and his eyes were cold. He knew very well that in modern society, if one wanted to truly destroy a person, violence was sometimes not the best option.
There is another way to make the other person's life worse than death.
For example, causing the other party to become socially dead.
