Chapter 7: The Miraculous Resurrection Kick
“Brother Lin, you still have residual toxins in your body. Even my Healing Fist can't completely eradicate them. How about you come home with me for a while?”
Lin Zhongze was momentarily stunned and asked, “Brother, do you have other methods?”
Lu Ye nodded, “I have a Revival Kick, but your body is too weak. I’m afraid you can’t withstand the force.”
“I have supplementary medicine at home to restore your blood and energy. The detoxification will come after that.”
Lin Zhongze nodded, “Alright, but I need to take care of something important first. Give me your address, I’ll visit later.”
Lu Ye asked in surprise, “What could be more important than your life?”
Lin Zhongze gritted his teeth and spat out, “Cleaning house!”
“Fine, my place is Unit 301, Building B, Sunshine Community. You’d better come before six; I’m moving today.”
“I’ll be there before six,” Lin Zhongze said, then propped up his battered electric bike and rode off.
Lu Ye watched him leave, then started the Panamera and headed home.
On the way, he received a call from Su Qianqian.
“Old woman, what do you need?”
“Are you home? Grab your dad and run! The farther you get, the better!” Su Qianqian’s voice was urgent and frantic, ignoring Lu Ye’s nickname for her.
Lu Ye asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong? Is Zhang Yunjie causing you trouble again?”
“Not me, he’s after you! I just got word—the Zhang family hired a bunch of thugs, they’re heading to your home right now!”
Lu Ye paused. He’d expected Zhang Yunjie to make a move once he returned home, but hadn’t thought it would be this quick.
But a few thugs were nothing to him.
“Old woman, I didn’t know you cared so much about me! I’m almost moved to tears.”
“We’re in crisis and you still joke! Get your dad and go, now!”
Lu Ye laughed confidently, “Relax, I’m the head of security at Yiren Group. A few punks won’t scare me.”
Su Qianqian roared, “Idiot! The Zhang family is much more powerful than you think!”
“No worries, I know what I’m doing. Stop worrying.” Lu Ye hung up.
In the chairman’s office of Yiren Group, Su Qianqian stamped her feet in anger.
“You know nothing! Just a reckless fool playing hero!”
Fine. Since you stood up for me and offended Zhang Yunjie because of it, I’ll personally come to your rescue today, you wretch.
Su Qianqian grabbed the desk phone and dialed an internal number.
“Assistant Zhang, alert the security team to assemble downstairs, urgent situation, tell them to hurry!”
“Yes, President Su!”
…
Lu Ye arrived at the community, parking his car downstairs.
Two Land Cruisers were parked nearby, their license plates unfamiliar. He grew more vigilant.
The Land Cruisers were empty. It seemed the others had already gone upstairs.
Damn, Dad, please be safe!
Lu Ye gathered his energy and raced up to the third floor. His front door was tightly shut, but there were two clear footprints on the door, evidence of it being kicked, and the lock showed signs of tampering.
Lu Ye’s heart sank. His father might have been taken hostage.
He didn’t rush in. He retraced his steps downstairs, scaled the wall by hand to his own balcony on the third floor with agility rivaling Spider-Man.
Finding no sign of his father inside, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief—perhaps his dad had just stepped out.
In the living room stood seven or eight unfamiliar faces, brutish and menacing.
“Brother Duck, the kid must’ve caught wind and escaped.”
“Then smash his house!”
A chaotic clatter followed.
Fridge, TV, pots, and pans were all smashed to pieces.
“Hey, what’s this?”
Suddenly, a lackey ran out of Lu Yuqing’s room holding a golden compass, handing it to “Roast Duck,” their leader.
“Damn, pure gold! Take it, take it—this trip’s not a loss!”
They were preparing to leave triumphantly.
At that moment, a shadow flashed in from the balcony. Roast Duck saw a blur, and the golden compass vanished from his hands.
“What the hell! Was that a huge black rat? Whatever it was, it snatched the golden compass in a flash!”
“You’re the rat, your whole family are rats!” Somehow, Lu Ye was now seated on the sofa in the corner, holding the golden compass and taunting them.
“Lu Ye!”
“You dare come back?”
Lu Ye smiled, “This is my home. Why wouldn’t I?”
Roast Duck’s face darkened and he sneered, “I was just worrying about finding you, and now you’ve walked right in. Brothers, get him!”
The thugs advanced, all muscular and intimidating.
Lu Ye lazily stretched, ready to fight.
Suddenly, the door exploded with a bang. Su Qianqian stormed in with over ten Yiren Group security guards, fierce and unstoppable!
She pointed at the unfamiliar faces and shouted, “That’s them. Take them down!”
The security team rushed in, brawling with Roast Duck’s men, except for Lu Ping, who cowered at the back.
He was pampered and timid, unused to such chaos…
Yiren Group’s security guards were top-notch, many retired soldiers, with superior numbers. Before long, Roast Duck’s gang was subdued.
“Old woman, why are you here?” Lu Ye was dumbfounded, never imagining Su Qianqian would be so formidable.
Su Qianqian stood with hands on her hips, smug, “If I hadn’t come, you’d have been beaten to a pulp!”
Having hung up on Su Qianqian not long before, she must have rushed over with reinforcements.
Lu Ye felt warmth in his heart and softly said, “Thank you, wife.”
Su Qianqian shuddered in disgust, “Cut it out! You offended Zhang Yunjie because of me—I just don’t want to owe you a favor.”
Bruised and battered, Roast Duck sat up, spat blood, and growled, “Are you showing off your love? Do you even know who I am?”
His lackey groaned, “Brother Duck is Lord Long’s right-hand man. Mess with him and none of you will get away today!”
Hearing this, Su Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat. Trouble!
Lord Long, whose real name was Xu Sanlong, ran most of the security at Mingzhu’s entertainment venues. Getting on his bad side never ended well.
Roast Duck pulled out his phone and called, “Boss Long, we got beat up!”
“At Unit 301, Building B, Sunshine Community!”
After the reply, Roast Duck triumphantly pointed at Lu Ye and Su Qianqian, laughing, “Boss Long is coming in person. You’re dead!”
Su Qianqian took a deep breath, “Before they arrive, you should leave.”
Lu Ye smiled, “No need. They’re after me. I’ll settle it all at once.”
Su Qianqian scolded, “Idiot! Do you know how powerful Xu Sanlong is? Yiren Group is a legitimate business—we can’t afford to mess with him!”
“I… damn.”
Su Qianqian looked down on him again!
Lu Ye was embarrassed—why did he always look so harmless?
He wanted to shout: I’m not a pretty boy, I’m a tough guy!
Lu Ping, still lurking at the back, heard they were up against someone even Yiren Group dared not offend. He started scheming…
“Hey, Brother Duck, are you hurt? Let me help you up!”
“These fools dared hit you—they must be tired of living.”
Seeing Lu Ping’s ingratiating face, Roast Duck was confused, “Who are you?”
“Brother Duck, I’m Lu Ping. My admiration for you is endless, and I never laid a finger on you guys!”
Roast Duck recalled, and it was true—Lu Ping hadn’t attacked them.
Lu Ping bowed and smiled, “Brother Duck, I had no choice before, but now I want to switch sides! When Boss Long arrives, could you recommend me? I know I’ll have a future with you!”
Lu Ping’s flattery made Roast Duck’s tail wag, and he laughed, “Haha, you’ve got good sense! Sure, when Boss Long comes, I’ll introduce you!”
Su Qianqian’s face burned. Lu Ye’s cousin was truly shameless, switching sides in Yiren Group’s security uniform, utterly disgracing the company!
Compared to him, Su Qianqian found Lu Ye much more agreeable, her gaze softening as she looked at him, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
