Chapter 88

To be honest, it wasn't the first time Jiang Ping had become the target of a so-called "gang hit." In his previous life, he had once stolen a collection from a foreign mafia boss, who, in a fit of rage, had ordered his subordinates to hunt down Jiang Ping and even offered a two million dollar bounty for his head.

To avoid the heat, Jiang Ping had to go to a small country in South America, where he spent a whole six months on vacation. It wasn't until the mafia boss was riddled with bullets in a gang war that Jiang Ping returned to Europe to continue his "work."

However, the mafia boss who issued the hit on Jiang Ping was a well-known Russian gang leader. A hit issued by someone of his status and position was, of course, very intimidating, and even Jiang Ping had to temporarily avoid the confrontation.

But the three people in front of Jiang Ping now were just street thugs. Perhaps the worst thing they had ever done was to steal money from people on the bus. In Jiang Ping's eyes, these thugs were not even worth mentioning. The so-called "Xin Jie" they kept talking about was just a small-time leader among the thugs.

For such low-level thugs to boldly issue a hit on Jiang Ping seemed like a joke to him.

After his rebirth, Jiang Ping had a lot on his plate and really didn't have the time to tangle with a bunch of small-time thugs. He approached the lead thug and said sincerely, "Go back and tell your so-called Xin Jie that it's best if we don't cross paths in the future. This way, everyone can avoid a lot of trouble. Of course, if you still want to cause trouble, I'm not afraid, but you'll regret it!"

While talking to these small-time thugs, Jiang Ping didn't hide anything, and the aura from his previous life completely radiated out. The thugs felt as if Jiang Ping had suddenly changed, and they sensed a tremendous pressure from him, as if the temperature around them had dropped a few degrees.

They never expected that a high school student like Jiang Ping could have such a terrifying aura. All the thugs were scared and involuntarily shrank back, not daring to speak.

The thug with the ear piercing looked at his companions and sighed in relief, "I was really scared just now. That kid's eyes were so scary!"

"Yeah, yeah!" The thug with curly hair also said with lingering fear, "Do you know Wang Feng, who fights to the death and has killed many people under Xu San's command? I saw him once, and his eyes were scary enough. But that kid just now was even scarier! I really thought he would kill us, and I almost wet my pants!"

The last thug scratched his head and said, "Didn't they say this kid is just a high school student? Do you believe it?"

The other two quickly shook their heads. If all high school students were like this, they wouldn't be able to survive. At this moment, one thug's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered, "Xin Jie, we lost him, we couldn't keep an eye on him..."

A young woman's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "How could you be so useless, you can't even keep an eye on one person?"

"It's not that we're useless, it's that the kid is too strong!" The thug with the phone lowered his voice, "Xin Jie, I think we shouldn't mess with this guy. Otherwise, we might have trouble!"

"Trouble, my ass!" Xin Jie shouted from the other end, "Don't you know that Qiangzi and the others were all taken in by this kid? I heard Qiangzi might even be sentenced! We have to stick together and be loyal! Qiangzi is at least part of my crew, and I can't ignore this!"

"Yes, yes, I know Xin Jie is the most loyal." The thug said with a bitter face, "But we lost him, what can we do?"

Xin Jie said irritably, "If you lost him, just let it be. We'll find this kid later. Come back now, we have a race tonight! I want everyone to be there to cheer for Xiao Zhao, got it?"

"Xin Jie, don't worry, we'll definitely be there!" The thug perked up at the mention of the race and asked cautiously, "Do you think Xiao Zhao can win? We've already lost three in a row, if we lose again... it will be really embarrassing!"

Xin Jie was annoyed by this and stomped her foot on the other end of the phone, "Why so many questions? Just be there on time tonight, stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing that Xin Jie was angry, the thug quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I talk too much. Xin Jie, don't be angry, we'll definitely be there on time, see you later, bye!"

After dealing with the three thugs, Jiang Ping finally completely shook off the tail. He quickened his pace and arrived at Zhao Guoquan's house, only to find that Zhao Wanqing had been waiting for him. Although half of her face was still covered with a bandage, her nervous expression was very obvious, making this mature woman look like a helpless little girl at the moment.

Jiang Ping, of course, understood Zhao Wanqing's anxious and uncertain feelings. Seeing how nervous she was, he took her hand. Zhao Wanqing's hand was smooth and delicate, but it was as cold as ice, showing how nervous she was.

When Jiang Ping suddenly took her hand, Zhao Wanqing was surprised. She instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Jiang Ping held it tightly. After two failed attempts, Zhao Wanqing gave up and let Jiang Ping hold her hand.

Strangely, when Zhao Wanqing let Jiang Ping hold her hand and felt the warmth of his palm, her anxious and uneasy heart was somewhat relieved. This made Zhao Wanqing feel surprised and she managed to give Jiang Ping a grateful smile.

Seeing Zhao Wanqing relax a bit, Jiang Ping whispered, "Relax, it's not a big deal. I promise, after you wash off the ointment, you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Jiang Ping's words gave Zhao Wanqing more confidence, and she nodded lightly, "Then I'll go."

"Go ahead," Jiang Ping smiled and comforted her, "I'll wait here for you, don't worry, everything will be fine!"

With Jiang Ping's encouragement, Zhao Wanqing walked into the bathroom. This wasn't the first time she had bathed alone with Jiang Ping, and it wasn't as awkward as before. In fact, Zhao Wanqing's attention was not on Jiang Ping outside, but entirely focused on her scar.

Outside, Jiang Ping listened to the sound of the water in the bathroom and sat down on the sofa very relaxed. He was very confident in his ointment and knew that he would definitely give Zhao Wanqing a pleasant surprise.

Jiang Ping hadn't been on the sofa for long when the water in the bathroom stopped. Then he heard Zhao Wanqing let out a scream, as if she had encountered something terrifying.
