The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 931: A Simple Task

"Is it really such a coincidence?" Li Qing asked with a puzzled expression.

Director Jia chuckled lightly, "This matter... it really is a bit coincidental, but for someone whom you’ve beaten half to death, some things about him don’t seem coincidental, do they?"

"No, you’ve got that wrong," Li Qing emphasized sternly, "First, I haven’t done anything to him yet, nor have I beaten him half to death. Second, I think you’re somewhat biased against me."

Wu Yuzong stood to one side with his arms folded, snorted coldly, and said, "Li Qing, I advise you to be sensible. Playing innocent and clever now is useless. Just confess, I’ve already told you before, some people are not to be messed with by you."

Li Qing gave Wu Yuzong a sidelong glance. What nonsense was this asshole making up?

Ignoring him, he continued speaking with Director Jia on the phone, "Director Jia, what exactly is to be done about this matter? You’ve got to give me a method at least. Are you suggesting I just beat him up directly?"

"It seems that’s not impossible," Director Jia laughed, "Your Ninth Bureau intervening in this matter, even if you beat him up directly, it wouldn’t be much of a problem, unlike us, who can only use some special methods. Unfortunately, this kid’s father has a bit of influence, constantly quoting legal provisions at us, and we truly have no way to proceed. You just bear the burden and help us out; it also gives that girl some explanation."

Director Jia’s last remark thoroughly moved Li Qing.

He said somewhat helplessly, "Fine, I can handle this for you. But, I must say, your misunderstanding of us is extraordinary. It was just a coincidence today; otherwise, I definitely would not have intervened. That would be overstepping, Director Jia; we don’t have such authority."

"Secondly, what we’re doing isn’t right either. However, we have many other methods; it doesn’t have to be a fight. If you want a method that won’t cause physical harm, I can help you with that too."

"Really? You do?" Director Jia suddenly became excited, "That would be fantastic!"

"However, I’m talking about other times. The next time you encounter this, perhaps you can ask for our help," Li Qing said, averting his gaze toward Wu Yuzong and added solemnly, "But this time, I intend to knowingly commit the offense; I’m going to resolve it with a physical confrontation."

At this moment, Wu Yuzong’s complexion darkened, listening to Li Qing’s phone conversation, he seemed to sense that things were going awry.

"What did you just say? Why is my signal suddenly bad? I didn’t hear anything!" Director Jia shouted loudly.

Li Qing: ...

"Don’t pretend; today I really am knowingly committing the offense. I’ll be waiting in the town to pick someone up."

"The town, ah? Oh, you mean the town? Alright, alright, alright, I’ll have Baichuan take a trip there later," Director Jia said in a choppy voice as if the connection was intermittently failing, and shouted loudly.

He was still pretending.

Li Qing shook his head and put away his phone.

This guy insisted on pretending.

"It seems you haven’t done anything to me yet; now, it’s my turn," Li Qing said, his lips curling into a faint smile as he walked slowly toward Wu Yuzong, his fists cracking ominously.

Wu Yuzong watched Li Qing nervously, his face gradually turning pale, "You... how could you—no, wait a minute, what are you going to do? Wait, wait, just wait..."

"Wait for you? Show some sincerity!" Li Qing suddenly shouted fiercely, grabbed Wu Yuzong’s arm, pulling him forward, and slapped him across the face.

Smack!

A loud and crisp sound suddenly resounded in Qi Mengru’s office.

The heavy slap made Wu Yuzong stagger sharply, and a cut instantly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The intense pain and the buzzing in his head contorted Wu Yuzong’s expression into something fierce, yet his eyes were utterly hollow.

He seemed to be dazed by the beating.

Li Qing raised his hand, his left like a hawk’s claw, reaching out to grab Wu Yuzong’s neck, "How about that? I told you before, don’t pretend, just be honest. You had to act all high and mighty and treated me like I was nothing. Since that’s the case, you better be prepared to be beaten half to death by me. Are you ready?"

"I... wait..." Wu Yuzong’s face, gripped by Li Qing’s hand, turned a ghastly mix of pale and purplish-red, looking like a kaleidoscope had exploded on his face.

Meanwhile, the slap he had just endured was rapidly taking effect; his right cheek was swelling up like a steam bun.

It won’t take long before it’s completely swollen, helping him achieve his goal of a "prosperous" cheek.

"Your part is over, now it’s my turn, no need for apologies, because I won’t listen!" Li Qing, with a hint of a cold smile on his lips, grabbed Wu Yuzong’s neck and slowly lifted him off the ground, scrutinizing him meticulously.

"Should I break your arms first, or should I start with your uncooperative legs?"

The suffocating sensation made Wu Yuzong’s face dominantly pale, his nose seemed as big as a gateway due to his vigorous breathing, but even so, he struggled to breathe.

At that moment, he seemed to finally realize he should be afraid of Li Qing, shaking his head like a bobblehead, his eyes filled with pleading.

Qi Mengru leaned her curvy hips against the edge of the desk, watching very calmly, her expression neither sad nor happy.

She didn’t seem to think about stepping in to stop Li Qing either.

"Good, don’t watch, it’s rather violent!" Li Qing turned his head to glance at Qi Mengru, saying with a light smile.

Qi Mengru rolled her eyes, "I’ve seen you be more violent."

Li Qing was at a loss for words. How could she think of flirting at a time like this? This was a massive blow to Wu Yuzong.

Li Qing shook his head and asked Wu Yuzong, "Do you have a girlfriend right now?"

"I... I don’t... don’t..." Wu Yuzong glanced quickly at Qi Mengru, struggling immensely to speak.

"Tsk, you’re quite interesting, truly not hitting the wall doesn’t turn back, not giving up until you hit the Yellow River?" Li Qing scoffed, "Better tell me the truth, or you might actually die. I’m quite skilled at burying bodies. Plus, dying like that, wouldn’t it be pitiful?"

"Wait, do you think my words don’t intimidate you? I guess, normal people wouldn’t believe someone who says they bury bodies. Alright, I can understand how you feel now. How about this, let’s break an arm first, just to prove my point. You can agree to that, right?"

Crack!

Before Li Qing could finish speaking, he had already snapped Wu Yuzong’s arm with a swift, ruthless motion.

Wu Yuzong, utterly absorbed in listening to Li Qing, didn’t even realize what was happening.

"Ah—fuck!"

"Oh, you can swear, huh? I’ll break another for you daring to swear!"

Crack!
