Chapter 358 A Gap
Chapter 358 A Gap
I originally thought that defeating Chen Er would be a very easy thing, but now several rounds have passed.
Chen Er did not lose ground. On the contrary, the crowd watching the spectacle actually gained more favor with Chen Er. This was not the result Zhao Beixing wanted to see. Therefore, Zhao Beixing was extremely angry, and the consequences were severe.
Zhao Beixing clenched his fists involuntarily, his stance becoming very firm. He looked at Qin Luoshen and waved his hand impatiently.
“From today onwards, you should go back to live on your own. If your father finds out that you are with such a treacherous person, he will be very heartbroken. I hope you can distinguish right from wrong. My relationship with Chen Er is already broken. You should know what you should do.”
Upon hearing Zhao Beixing's words, Qin Luoshen covered her mouth and laughed, then said firmly.
“I stand on Chen Er’s side. Even if I offend my father and am kicked out by him, I will still stick to my choice. You are going too far. You never care about the poor.”
"We care about the people, but no one stood up against you before. Now that Chen Er has stood up, you're asking me to make a choice? That's ridiculous."
Zhao Beixing was furious. He hadn't expected that even Qin Luoshen would side with Chen Er. Zhao Beixing narrowed his eyes, his mind focused on only one goal: to defeat Chen Er in a short period of time.
No matter what, making himself apologize to a young woman was a choice Zhao Beixing could never make.
Therefore, Zhao Beixing had to defeat Chen Er today. With this thought in mind, he didn't hesitate any longer and lunged at Chen Er again. This time, Zhao Beixing's momentum was extremely strong. He punched Chen Er in the neck. Clearly, Zhao Beixing had already decided to kill him.
Faced with Zhao Beixing's sneak attack, Chen Er immediately pushed him away. Qin Luoshen, who hadn't reacted in time, took several steps back. But Zhao Beixing followed closely. How could he let such a good opportunity slip by?
Zhao Beixing had planned to ambush Chen Er while he and Qin Luoshen were talking, which would give him more confidence.
Chen Er was even more furious, feeling as if he had been blind before. As his senior, he was determined to make Zhao Beixing pay a price today.
Chen Er spun around, placed his hands on the ground, and his legs swung back and forth in the air like wheels of fire.
Zhao Beixing stumbled and was swept to the ground by Chen Er's sweeping leg. Everyone gasped involuntarily. Zhao Beixing had ambushed Chen Er, and these poor people were secretly worried, hoping that Chen Er would not be hurt.
It seems that Zhao Beixing is truly furious. In front of so many people, he was actually beaten to the point of vomiting blood by a junior. How could this not make Zhao Beixing extremely angry? Facing Zhao Beixing's roar, Chen Er pretended not to hear and took another step forward.
"I'm asking you this one last time: are you going to apologize or not? If you apologize now, you won't have to suffer the pain of being criticized and denounced. If you don't apologize, even if I beat you to a pulp today, I won't regret it."
Zhao Beixing immediately laughed, not answering Chen Er's question, but using his actions to tell Chen Er that wanting him to apologize to an ordinary citizen was simply a pipe dream. The two men's fists clashed, but after all, Zhao Beixing was old and faced the strong and healthy Chen Er.
Of course, he was no match for him. Zhao Beixing was caught off guard and was immediately slammed to the ground by Chen Er's knee. Chen Er walked coldly in front of Zhao Beixing, but just then, Zhao Beixing suddenly felt a strange wind coming from behind Chen Er. Chen Er knew in his heart that someone must have attacked him.
Chen Er instinctively turned around and punched the person behind him. With a crisp cracking sound, it was as if the surrounding air was flowing backward. Chen Er took several steps back before shaking his hand.
Chen Er was a little surprised that the person who ambushed him was Zhao Tianming. At this moment, Zhao Tianming had a gloomy face and was trying to calm down his anger.
"Chen Er, you don't know what's good for you. No matter what, you are a junior. Besides, you were brought out by Lord Zhao Beixing. Now you dare to openly provoke Lord Zhao Beixing. What should your punishment be?"
Chen Er shrugged helplessly. "I admit that Lord Zhao Beixing used to train me well and help me a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a first-rank official now. But so what?"
"I can't possibly betray the expectations of ordinary people just to repay Zhao Beixing. If an official loses his direction, I'd rather quit. I want to strive for higher positions so that one day I can stand tall and stand up for the people."
Chen Er's words were a roar, which moved the surrounding people to tears.
"Your Excellency is mighty and powerful! Lord Chen Er is a pioneer who has created a new world. From now on, we will only follow Lord Chen Er. We will not let him down."
The surrounding crowd roared loudly, some even turning red in the face, wishing they could beat Zhao Beixing to death on the spot. However, Chen Er stopped them all, even Ma Dazhi, who wanted to go up.
He gave Chen Er a look that scared him away, and then Chen Er spoke.
"Zhao Tianming, how dare you ambush me! In terms of rank, I should be a whole grade higher than you, but I won't bother you. Now what do you want? Do you want to join forces with Zhao Beixing to deal with me?"
Zhao Tianming sneered, his face looking terribly ugly, as if he had just swallowed a fly.
"What a joke! I'll beat you to death today. You claim to be working for the people, but who knows what dirty deals you've been making behind the scenes?"
"Don't think I don't know you've been getting close to the Embroidered Uniform Guard lately. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is a very murky place, and recently there have been people in the court trying to investigate them."
Zhao Tianming's words made Chen Er's brows furrow into a pretzel shape, but Chen Er was only half-convinced by Zhao Tianming's words.
After all, Chen Er didn't know much about the Embroidered Uniform Guard, since he had only just joined. Chen Er didn't expect that even these people knew about him after he had only just met them yesterday.
