"Is this kid even human?"
Seeing Shen Lang do nothing and then, with a single move, incapacitate dozens of Tang family relatives, rendering them unable to fight.
Madam Tang, her husband Tang Chunqiu, and his brother Qi Sandong watched this scene with eyes full of horror.
Tang Chunqiu, in particular, as the deputy director of the criminal investigation department, though a desk job writing reports, had also come into contact with the experts from the Martial Guard.
However, he had never witnessed anyone like Shen Lang, a master whose actions were so clean, swift, simple, and brutal.
Zhao Min returned after making a phone call and was equally shocked to see the Tang family relatives lying on the ground.
No wonder Shen Lang had no fear on his face from beginning to end; it turned out he possessed such skill.
However, facing the powerful and influential Tang family, just being able to fight might not be enough for Shen Lang.
"I have to say, kid, I underestimated you just now."
While Zhao Min worried about Shen Lang and Yu Xiao, Tang Chunqiu walked up to Shen Lang and said arrogantly, "You're a good fighter, but in this day and age, brute strength alone is useless."
Tang Chunqiu looked at Shen Lang with a lecturing tone, "Nowadays, true power that overcomes everything isn't brute strength, but influence."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"When my rage erupts, even the greatest influence cannot suppress it, just like now."
"Bang—"
Upon hearing Tang Chunqiu's words, Shen Lang sneered and threw a punch.
Shen Lang's punch was extremely fast. Tang Chunqiu was too close and didn't expect Shen Lang to attack. He was hit directly on the right side of his face and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and two or three teeth.
"Kid... you dare to lay a hand on someone?"
Seeing her husband injured by Shen Lang's punch, Madam Tang was furious. "Do you know who he is? You dare to hit him, kid, you're finished. Your life is over."
Madam Tang's younger brother also looked furious.
Qi Sandong couldn't fathom how Shen Lang dared to be so reckless even after knowing their identities. He shouted, "Kid, you dare to injure someone from the Martial Guard? Nanling will have no place for you from now on."
"Second in command of the Nanling Education Department?"
Hearing Qi Sandong's words, Shen Lang smiled playfully. "Although you're dressed impeccably, I can still smell a stench of scum from you."
With that, Shen Lang lunged forward, appeared before Qi Sandong, and swept out a leg. Qi Sandong was instantly swept to the ground, feeling like his bones were cracking, and let out a scream.
"See, sometimes influence cannot overcome everything. At least when you're getting beaten, you feel the same pain as anyone else."
Looking at Tang Chunqiu and Qi Sandong writhing in pain on the ground, Shen Lang said playfully.
"Bastard—"
Seeing that this nameless kid dared to hit her high-ranking husband and brother, and with such a mocking expression, Madam Tang was enraged and shouted, "Kid, you're dead today. No one can save you, I promise."
With that, Madam Tang took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, is this Little Qin from the Martial Guard's Criminal Investigation Department? I'm Deputy Director Tang's wife."
Madam Tang spoke into the phone, "It's like this, my daughter Tang Xiaoxiao was pushed down by a girl with a vile character at Nanling High School, chipping two of her front teeth. We came to seek justice, but unexpectedly, this girl has a wild and violent lover who not only injured my relatives but also injured Deputy Director Tang and my brother."
"What? Something like this happened?"
Upon hearing Madam Tang's words, an angry voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Madam, don't worry. A teacher from Nanling High School just reported someone causing trouble. Director Gu is taking this very seriously and is bringing us there now. We'll be there soon."
"What? Director Gu himself is coming?"
Madam Tang exclaimed with joy upon hearing this.
"Yes, Madam, Director Gu is leading the team."
The man on the phone said, "Nanling High School is a key high school, and its students are the most promising talents for Nanling's future. Director Gu has always valued the security of Nanling High School. Hearing about someone causing trouble, he immediately brought the team."
"It's over, kid, you're finished."
After hanging up the phone, Madam Tang looked at Shen Lang and said smugly, "Intentional assault, and you injured people from the Martial Guard and the Education Department. Given Director Gu's personality, a thug like you will have to shed at least a layer of skin, if not die."
"Director Gu is coming?"
Hearing Madam Tang's words, Shen Lang stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Not yet."
Madam Tang, not understanding Shen Lang's intention, blurted out the answer instinctively.
"She's not here yet, and you're still so arrogant?"
Shen Lang smiled and raised his hand, slapping her.
"Slap—"
Madam Tang didn't expect Shen Lang to still dare to attack at this point. She was hit by the sudden slap and fell to the ground, landing face-first in a most undignified and pitiful manner.
"Kid... you dare..."
Tang Chunqiu and Qi Sandong couldn't believe Shen Lang was still so brazen at this point. They were both angry and furious, but seeing Shen Lang's cold eyes, they were too scared to say another word.
"You see, sometimes influence is as useless against fists and slaps as well."
Shen Lang shrugged, looking at the two of them exchanging glances with fear in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Lin Danqing, Zhao Min, Wang Yuyan, and the others were stunned and speechless.
They had never expected Shen Lang to directly resort to what seemed like the least sensible method of solving problems when facing the influential Tang family.
"Whoosh—"
At this moment, a siren suddenly blared.
Then, a Martial Guard vehicle appeared downstairs. As the car doors opened, Gu Qinghan, dressed in black and exuding an imposing aura, led over a dozen Martial Guards rushing up to the fourth floor.
Seeing the Martial Guards arrive, Zhao Min and Madam Tang were overjoyed.
Zhao Min was delighted because she had called the Martial Guard, and now that they were here, at least the situation wouldn't escalate further.
Madam Tang was overjoyed because Gu Qinghan had brought people, and Shen Lang's days as a principal were numbered.
"Director Gu, you're finally here."
Seeing Gu Qinghan, Madam Tang, as if seeing a savior, stood up and rushed to Gu Qinghan's side, pointing at Shen Lang. "The girl behind this kid is a classmate of my daughter's. Jealous of my daughter's good family background, she pushed my daughter down during break, chipping two of her front teeth."
"We came to seek justice, but unexpectedly, this kid is lawless. He beat us all up, and even Old Tang didn't escape."
"Director Gu, please uphold justice for us."
Madam Tang even started crying, putting on a show of immense grievance.
Gu Qinghan's expression was already cold, and it became even colder upon hearing Madam Tang's words.
However, when she followed the direction Madam Tang pointed, she saw a face she longed to see.
"Little Brother?"
Seeing Shen Lang, Gu Qinghan's face instantly melted into a smile that could melt ice and snow.
Her smile bloomed like a flower.
