Chapter 2241: Embroidery Needle
Editor: Atlas Studios
The pastor was very shocked at the same time. He could be considered one of the pastors who were in demand in Country M. There were so many people who wanted him to preside over their weddings that he was fully booked until next year!
This was the first time he had seen such an uncooperative couple getting married. Was this going to be the first failed ceremony in his life? Was his reputation as a pastor going to be completely ruined?
Xia Zhe ignored Jessica and walked over to Alan briskly. The bodyguard behind Alan instantly took a step forward and stared at Xia Zhe nervously, worried that Xia Zhe would do something dangerous.
“Mr. Alan, I appreciate your daughter’s love for me, but I can’t accept it. Let’s forget what happened this time round. Perhaps there is some sort of misunderstanding. Next time, if you dare to put me under house arrest again, I won’t stand by and do nothing.” Xia Zhe’s expression remained unchanged, but the ruthless look in his eyes had long exposed the fact that he was not someone to be trifled with.
All the guests were completely silent. They were all scared that Alan would get angry and kill all of them. After all, everyone in Alan’s family was crazy.
“Fang Chen, don’t go overboard,” Daniel said through gritted teeth.
“I’m not the one who has gone overboard!” Xia Zhe frowned and continued, “If we ignore whatever happened today and all of us take a step back, I think we can still be very good partners in the future. Of course, if you want to fall out with me, I don’t mind telling others about why you came to look for me in private some time ago.”
In an instant, all the guests looked at Daniel. What had happened during this period of time? Although they all knew that Xia Zhe was very capable, he had only been in Country M for a few years. How could he be able to go against Alan’s family?
Daniel had always maintained a persona of a bright and cheerful young man in front of everyone. Even when something happened, he would not turn nasty with anyone. Daniel liked to date beautiful women and every relationship had ended amicably. All his girlfriends praised him for being a considerate man. Could it be that it was not all what it seemed?
Daniel had indeed gone to look for Xia Zhe in private not long ago because of Jessica’s wedding. Moreover, in order to avoid the media, he had chosen the most secretive way to meet up. It would be extremely difficult for him to disprove it now.
He was about to explode out of anger and could no longer maintain his gentlemanly image.
“Beat him up!” Daniel pointed at Xia Zhe and roared.
Following his orders, the bodyguards behind him instantly rushed over and pounced on Xia Zhe. At this moment, Xia Zhe no longer pretended to be a weak and scholarly man, but it was still difficult for one person to fight against more than 10 nimble bodyguards. It could only be said that Xia Zhe had enough skills not to be at a disadvantage, but that might not be the case as time passed.
The whole place was in chaos immediately. During the chaos, Xia Zhe went to beat up Daniel and Alan as well. The punches that landed on them were different even though they might look ordinary. The light punches did not seem to hit any vital spots. Even though they landed on the two men’s bodies, it did not hurt much now.
However, although the areas where they were hit would feel fine on the first day, they would not be able to get out of bed the next day. On the third day, they would run a high fever and might even fall unconscious. It all depended on how strong they were.
It was Qiao Qiang who taught Xia Zhe this set of fist techniques when he had some free time. In those early years, Qiao Qiang had to work hard to support Qiao Mei and he was in very poor health. However, now that he was well nourished by all kinds of supplements every day, he looked radiantly healthy and even came up with his own set of fist techniques. Qiao Qiang named this set of fist techniques “Embroidery Needle”. Although every move looked inconspicuous, each and every one was potentially fatal.
“Enough! I already called the police when I came out of the guest room just now! They should be here soon!” Xia Zhe suddenly shouted.
The bodyguards stopped what they were doing and looked towards Daniel and Alan. Although Alan’s family was so powerful that they did not need to be afraid of some small-time police officers, Alan liked to look good on the surface and never allowed the family to be in the limelight.
They were public figures and did not like to be involved in scandals. After all, although it was easy to trample an ant to death, a large number of ants could swallow an elephant if they worked together.
As expected, Alan asked them to stop.
Xia Zhe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. After straightening his clothes, he smiled and said, “Goodbye, Mr. Alan.”
With that, he strode towards the garage. No one dared to stop him and everyone automatically made way for him wherever he went, while looking at him in shock.
This was Alan’s family! The family that was in charge of armaments in Sky City over the last one hundred years! The person he was supposed to marry was the movie queen, Jessica! They did not even dare to dream of this scenario in their sleep! Xia Zhe actually gave everything up just like that!
Qiao Mei only regained her composure when Xia Zhe’s car disappeared from sight at the intersection. She had actually wanted to go forward and help Xia Zhe deal with those bodyguards, but that would not only expose Xia Zhe’s identity, but might also cause the two of them to lose their lives in this place.
