Chapter 4 Desperately Beat Someone Who's Not Evil Enough (Ask for Recommendations and Collections)_2

```

However, fortunately, Zheng Ming wasn't preparing to take action. He waved toward someone not far behind him and said, "Uncle Li, someone wants to hit me."

Just as he finished his sentence, a dozen men dressed in blue short robes, each sturdy as a mountain, walked over at a leisurely pace.

The man leading the group was named Zheng Dali, the captain of the Zheng Family Guard Team of Luming Town, a martial artist with a Thirteen Ranks cultivation base, over forty years old, with a rugged appearance.

He glanced at the men surrounding Zheng Ming and said coldly, "Daring to lay hands on the Second Young Master is impudent. Beat them hard for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the guard team behind him didn't give Qin Meng and his companions a chance to explain and rushed forward, knocking those men to the ground with a few punches and kicks.

Qin Meng tried to stand up and speak but was promptly slapped twice by a guard without a word and fell to the ground.

"Big Brother Dali, I am Qin Meng from Silver Hook Gambling House. It's my fault. I should not have offended the Second Young Master. We admit defeat today and will come to apologize to Zheng Town Leader in a couple of days!"

Although Qin Meng was reckless, he knew the importance of the situation and when to advance or retreat. He hastily said this to Zheng Dali.

Zheng Dali frowned slightly. Though Silver Hook Gambling House wasn't in Luming Town, it still had significant clout, and Zheng Gongxian, the head of the town, had warned him not to provoke them without good reason.

Even though they were in the right, they couldn't afford to antagonize these men to death. Since they were already submitting, this matter couldn't be pursued too harshly.

Just as Zheng Dali was about to nod in agreement, he heard Zheng Ming say, "Bring out that indenture contract!"

"Second Young Master, this is the indenture contract!" Qin Meng hesitated for a moment before taking out the contract and saying, "I thought these people were talking nonsense. If I had known this woman caught the eye of the Second Young Master, we wouldn't dare to take this contract!"

Zheng Ming looked at the girl standing behind the middle-aged woman, who was looking at him with admiration in her watery eyes, and suddenly realized a problem: Wasn't this girl exactly whom he had intended to bully yesterday!

As he was looking at the girl, Zheng Dali, who stood beside him, also grinned and said in a teasing tone, "Second Young Master, you really have grown up."

Grown up my ass!

At this moment, Zheng Ming suddenly realized that his Prestige Points had shot up to eighty-six!

From one to eighty-six, just for beating up Qin Meng once? Happiness had come a bit too fast, no, Qin Meng couldn't be let off so easily!

Having made up his mind, Zheng Ming chuckled and said, "Since the indenture contract was lost to you by Li Daniu, let's have a gamble ourselves. If I lose, I will stay out of this matter, but if I win, you leave the contract behind, how about it?"

Looking at Zheng Ming's gaze, Qin Meng felt a bit uncomfortable, but the terms seemed very favorable to him. The worst outcome if he lost was simply leaving behind the indenture contract.

"We'll toss a copper coin for the gamble, heads it's my win, tails it's yours," said Zheng Ming, pulling out a copper coin and tossing it to the ground.

At this moment, many people were sweating, especially the middle-aged woman. She looked at Zheng Ming with a hint of confusion in her eyes, not understanding why the Second Young Master was insisting on gambling again!

After all, Qin Meng had already willingly returned the indenture contract!

```

The copper coin dropped from the sky, tugging at so many hearts.

Tails!

This outcome made many hearts clench, and Xiao Duo, who had been looking at Zheng Ming with big watery eyes, burst into tears and flung herself into her mother's arms.

"Second Young Master, I'm really sorry, but it seems I've won this time!" Qin Meng was overwhelmed with joy, thinking to himself that this Second Young Master must be reluctant to offend their Silver Hook Gambling House. Otherwise, why would he let him take that beautiful girl away in such a manner?

But the moment his words were out, a slap landed heavily on his face. Zheng Ming glared fiercely and demanded, "Which of your eyes saw it land tails?"

"Both my eyes saw it," Qin Meng retorted angrily.

"Then it seems both your eyes are blind. If they are blind, they must be treated, don't you agree?" As Zheng Ming spoke, another slap struck Qin Meng's face hard.

At that moment, Qin Meng wanted to explode with rage, but the pain in his stomach made it difficult for him to move, not to mention Zheng Dali's hand, which had pressed down on his back at some unknown time.

The word "blind" made Qin Meng's heart shiver. At that moment, as he looked at the cold-faced youth, a chill silently crept through him.

Damn, this sunshine-filled Second Young Master of the Zheng family is ruthless!

In an instant, a trace of fear crept into Qin Meng's heart.

"Slap!" Qin Meng slapped his own face hard, loudly exclaiming, "The copper coin is heads up, I just didn't see it clearly, I'm blind, haha!"

With his men in tow, Qin Meng left, his eyes filled with a mix of fear and anger. As he was leaving, Zheng Dali whispered to Zheng Ming, "Second Young Master, it's bad to offend the Silver Hook Gambling House like this."

Zheng Ming, of course, knew that such an open confrontation was not ideal, but at that moment, his heart was filled with joy.

"Damn it, if they don't respect me, they deserve a good lesson!" As he spoke, Zheng Ming spotted Li Daniu, shivering among the crowd.

"Uncle Li, give him a hundred lashes and tell him if he dares to gamble again, I will lash him every time I see him!"

Zheng Dali agreed with a nod, gesturing to two members of the Guard Team to tie up the forty-something-year-old Li Daniu to a nearby tree.

"Second Young Master, he was just confused for a moment, please spare him!" the middle-aged woman hurried to Zheng Ming, pleading in front of him.

"Look here, ma'am, if I let him go, he might gamble again and sell off Xiao Duo as gambling funds. People like him need to be whipped hard to remember this lesson. Don't worry, after he's been whipped, I will cover the medical bills!"

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment and remained silent, while the lashing sounds from the Guard Team members caused Li Daniu's screams to echo throughout Luming Town.

Those who were initially enjoying the spectacle gradually quieted down, and the way they looked at Zheng Ming changed to one of respect and increased fear.

And it was this growing fear that made the numbers of Zheng Ming's Prestige Points skyrocket. ps: The new book is running bare; looking forward to everyone's collection and recommendation, show your support!
