Chapter 675 - 666: Threat

Su Lihui dangerously narrowed his eyes at Su Qing. There weren’t many people around; most of the students had gone back to class. He glanced around, and his voice turned cold. "Su Qing, my dad and I came to see you. Is that any way to treat us? We’re family, after all. I suggest you watch your tone with us."

Su Qing was unmoved. "I need to get back to class. The two of you should leave right now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next."

Su Qing’s words only fueled Su Lihui’s hostility. He snorted coldly and felt for the sharp knife tucked at his waist. He had brought it all the way from Lihua Village. With it, he and Su Shengli had threatened quite a few people. That was why, despite their shabby clothes, the father and son hadn’t been short on food recently. They had a little money on hand—not much, but enough to keep their stomachs mostly full.

Cowed by his threats, many of the other beggars didn’t dare compete with them for sleeping spots or for begged food and money.

Su Qing glanced at Su Lihui’s movement, her heart leaping with anticipation. ’I hope he gets more aggressive,’ she thought. ’It’ll give me the perfect excuse to make a move.’

"Su Qing, look, my dad and I came all this way to see you. Don’t be so heartless. Why don’t we find a place to sit down and have a proper chat, huh?" Glancing at the people nearby, Su Lihui ultimately didn’t dare pull out his knife just yet. He wanted to lure Su Qing somewhere with fewer people. That way, the two of them could easily overpower a single girl like her. Once they had the damn girl under control, she would have to do whatever they said. If she dared to refuse to give them money then, he’d make her regret it.

Though his heart was filled with vicious thoughts, Su Lihui wore a roguish smile.

"Alright," Su Qing said, raising an eyebrow. "Since you put it that way, let’s go sit in that pavilion over there. I’m curious to see what you two really want to say. But let me make one thing clear: if you two piss me off... well, you know I’m not the same Su Qing you used to abuse anymore."

"Heh heh, we’re all close family. No need to sound so distant. Let’s go, Cousin. We can talk over there." Su Lihui gripped the hilt of his knife through his clothes. Seeing that there really was no one around the pavilion, he cheerfully agreed to Su Qing’s suggestion while secretly giving Su Shengli a meaningful look.

Ever since arriving in Beijing, Su Shengli had been doing everything his son said. He even felt a faint sense of fear toward him. As a result, Su Lihui was now the one in charge. Hearing Su Lihui’s words now, he had no reason to object. When he saw the look his son gave him, he knew exactly what was on his mind. He glanced around, an inexplicable nervousness creeping into his heart, but he didn’t dare contradict Su Lihui. He just silently followed Su Qing and his son to the pavilion.

"Alright, out with it. What else did you two want to say?" Su Qing asked lightly, though inwardly, she was eager for a fight.

When she had captured Angela, Zou Ming had gotten a real taste of Su Qing’s skills, and it left him completely stunned. He never would have imagined she was that formidable. Because of that, he had warned her again and again not to be reckless if she ran into trouble. With her level of skill, if she kicked someone without controlling her strength, she could definitely kill them with a single blow.

After all, Su Qing held the title of an auxiliary police officer. So, he had instructed her that even if she had to act, she needed a legitimate reason. She had to at least wait for the other party to make the first move. That way, her actions would be justified. He also constantly reminded her to be mindful of her strength.

Su Qing glanced at the hand Su Lihui had resting on his waist. ’Come on, make a move,’ she thought. ’Then I’ll have a just cause to give the two of you a brutal beating.’

’Hah, these two are completely shameless. After abusing the original owner of this body so horribly, they still have the nerve to strut up to me and act all high and mighty. I don’t even need them to open their mouths to know what they want. It’s just money, of course.’

Now that there was no one around, Su Lihui grew bolder. He chuckled slyly and said to Su Qing, "Su Qing, we’re family. You can’t just stand by and watch my dad and me struggle so much in Beijing, right? I won’t make things hard for you. Just give us five hundred yuan, and we’ll leave immediately. How about it?"

Su Qing sneered. "You’ve certainly got a big appetite."

Hearing this, Su Lihui’s expression instantly turned cold. "What, you’re not willing?"
