Chapter 64: Who are you going to kill?

Robert froze on the spot. He couldn't understand the Chinese cultural connotations of the phrase 'go to hell', but the phlegm that Zhou Ming spat in his face was real. He reached up and wiped his face, his hand disgusting and slimy. This made him instantly furious, and he pointed at Zhou Ming with a hideous face and said, 'You Chinese scum, I came over here in good faith to tell you the news, and you actually dare to insult me like this. I won't let you go...'

Robert's abuse came to an abrupt end here, because Zhou Ming raised his hand and slapped him in the face, knocking him out.

Zhou Ming said to him, 'American, let me analyse it for you? You said that if I could do you a favour, I would ask you to offer me your mother as a sex slave. Would you be willing?'

Robert was stunned. He had not thought that their negotiations would break down so quickly. After all, Lin Muqing was a woman of too extreme a character, and no one would want to give her up. But he never imagined that they would break down so quickly. However, there was no time for him to think about this now, because he was so angry that he was about to explode. He gritted his teeth and said, 'Chinese man, you not only hit me, you also insulted my mother. I want you dead! Nien, come and help me kill this Chinese man!'

Robert's strong bodyguard came out in response. He was a hulking man of over two metres tall, covered in explosive muscles. He held up a palm from a position of superiority and gestured at Zhou Ming, saying, 'Chinese man, your head is not even the size of a basketball. I can crush it with just a light squeeze, you know?'

Zhou Ming raised his head fearlessly: 'I don't know what kind of person you are, but I just know that you can never do it.'

The bodyguard Nien grinned and pulled an iron pipe out of his pocket like a magician. He broke the pipe with one hard pull and threw it on the ground. He then said to Zhou Ming, 'Chinese, this is what will happen to you.'

Zhou Ming also laughed: 'No wonder the sky in Brighton is always grey and hazy. It turns out that you have blown all the cows into the sky?'

Robert then said: 'Chinese, I really envy your ignorance sometimes. Nien is the king of the underground boxing scene in the northeast. With these hands, he has broken the heads of many fools like you.'

'Indeed you are stupid, your behaviour has perfectly illustrated the meaning of this word,' Zhou Ming said.

'I hope that you can still be so stubborn when I tear your mouth apart!'

Nien said angrily, reaching out to grab Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming stood still, not dodging or avoiding, but in the end Nien still failed to grab him, and his hand stopped just less than ten centimetres away. It was Zhang Lin who grabbed his wrist.

Ming was only a little short of catching him, but that little distance seemed like a chasm that he could not cross. That feeling made Nien feel like going crazy. He desperately tried to reach forward, so that the veins on his arms and forehead bulged out, but Zhang Lin's hand was like an iron clamp on his wrist, so that he could not move at all. Even Nien felt that his hand was gradually numb, and he could no longer exert any strength.

Compared to Nien's craziness, Zhang Lin was very relaxed. He pinched Nien's numbness and said to him, 'Big guy, we are both bodyguards, so let's not get involved in the duel between the bigwigs, shall we?'

'Shorty, are you so impatient to die?' Nien asked.

Zhang Lin had an expression of indifference on his face: 'It seems that's true, but in my opinion, it's definitely you who wants to die.'

As the last word fell, Zhang Lin suddenly exerted himself, and with a shoulder throw, he threw Nieen out. Nieen was heavily thrown to the ground and was unable to get up for a while. Zhang Lin turned to Zhou Ming and Robert and left them with the words 'You guys go about your business, I'll play with the big guy more,' and then chased after him. However, over there, Nieen suddenly got up and embraced Zhang Lin.

Seeing this, Robert laughed, 'What a stupid fighter. Nien is the champion of the underground boxing world. His arms are his most powerful weapons. He can strangle a cow with them. I wonder how many people have died from this technique in the underground boxing world. That's the soldier your country sent to protect you, right? It seems that the soldiers in the trash place are also trash.'

'Indeed, people in trashy places must also be trash. I think this saying is very appropriate for you.'

Zhang Lin's voice came from over there. He used his own arms to block Nie's arms, looked up at Nie, and said, 'I heard from your boss that this should be your most powerful move, right? Then I'm sorry, but I didn't think that even in your strongest strength, you would lose to me.'

'Impossible! Is that a monster? Why would you have such a monster by your side, and why would he be willing to be your bodyguard?' Robert exclaimed, his eyes round as copper bells.

'I don't know if Zhang Lin is a monster, but I do know that we have some serious accounting to do.'

Zhou Ming's voice came from ear to ear, and Robert turned to look at him, looking a little confused. Zhou Ming smiled at him, but his smile made Robert look a little creepy.

'I don't know what kind of account we need to settle, do you? It's actually not complicated. Do you remember what you said earlier about the condition for you helping me? It was that I had to let you have Lin Muqing, right? But you know what? I'm a very selfish and greedy person, and I don't even want my own money. If someone wants me to let a woman go, then I have to fuck... his ancestors eighteen generations!'

As Zhou Ming said this, he slapped Robert's face hard, slap after slap.

'Nien, what are you doing?' Robert shouted at his bodyguard, but Nien was still wrestling with Zhang Lin and had no time to pay him any attention, which made him extremely annoyed. He yelled again, 'Nien, you piece of shit, aren't you the underground boxing champion? How come you're being stopped by such a skinny Chinese piece of shit? Beat him up and then come over here and rip the Chinese guy's head off and kick it to me like a football, I order you!'

Pang!

As Robert finished speaking, Zhou Ming slapped him again in the face, and at the same time said to him, 'American, since your mother didn't teach you what manners are, let me teach you properly.'

'You're full of shit, you Chinese. Even if I don't have a gun, I'll still beat the shit out of you!'

Robert said, and lunged at Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming dodged it directly, and then took advantage of the situation to kick Robert in the crotch, causing Robert to cry out in pain and kneel down.

No kidding, Zhang Lin, the king of soldiers, is not a souvenir. During the year or so that Zhang Lin has been his bodyguard, Zhou Ming has learned many tricks from him for his own safety. Of course, he is still far inferior to Zhang Lin in battle, but at least he will not be at a loss in the face of danger. Even a professional hitman is not defenceless. As for a loser like Robert, he can be taken down easily.

After kicking Robert to his knees, Zhou Ming slapped him hard on the back of the head and said, 'American, who the hell did you just say you were going to kill?'

'I'm going to kill you!' Robert retorted, 'You Chinese bastard! Just you wait, when Nien finishes off that side, he'll definitely beat you to death, and then I'll be sure to throw your head into the forests of Breton to feed the wolves!'

But obviously Robert was not the protagonist of this book, so when he looked back, he saw a scene that broke his heart. He saw the skinny Chinese man actually knock Nien, who was twice his size, flying across the room. Nien fell to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, and he didn't respond at all.

Before he could marvel at this strange power, Zhou Ming grabbed him by the hair from behind and said to him, 'Mr. Robert Adams, you are after all a member of the Adams family, and a core member at that. Didn't your mother teach you any manners? For example, when you meet an honourable guest like us, you should add the word "sir" to show your respect.'

'I respect your whole family! Shit like you is only worthy of being stepped on by me...ah!'

Zhou Ming slapped him once, silencing Robert's words. Robert continued to curse, but Zhou Ming just kept on slapping him. After just a few slaps, Robert burst into tears.

'Please stop, Mr. Zhou Ming, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please let me go,' Robert cried.

This change surprised Zhou Ming a little. Although he never thought Robert would be a tough guy, at least he shouldn't be such a coward, right? But then again, Robert was always a hot-tempered child, so it was only natural that he would surrender and beg for mercy after just a few blows.

'Do you know what you've done wrong now? Then kneel here and say 'Daddy Zhou Ming, son Robert Adams knows he's wrong and will never make you angry again. Please forgive me' three times.'

As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, Robert angrily said, 'Chinese people, don't push it too far!'

Robert's anger was only momentary, however. When Zhou Ming raised his hand again, Robert quickly said three times, 'Dad Zhou Ming, son Robert Adams knows he was wrong and will never make you angry again. Please forgive me!'

After Robert finished speaking, Zhou Ming's slap finally landed on Robert's face, but at this time, Zhou Ming let go of his hair and said, 'That's more like it. Then I'll let you off today. Hurry up and get out of here, and don't let me see you again.'

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Robert immediately got up, as if he was afraid that Zhou Ming would change his mind, and ran to his car.

After Robert ran away, Zhang Lin came over and asked Zhou Ming, 'I don't understand, aren't you afraid that he will come back for revenge afterwards?'

'There's nothing he can do if he wants to retaliate. After all, we don't have an Addams family backing us up, and if we really get him killed here, there's no way we can escape.' Zhou Ming continued, 'As for his retaliation afterwards, I think even if there was no incident today, it would be unavoidable. Didn't you say there was another car following us here?'

...

As Zhou Ming asked, a car was parked by the roadside, and Old Brook and Will Adams were sitting in it. Will Adams said to Old Brook, 'The older the ginger, the hotter it is. It seems that it is just as you, Congressman Brook, predicted. That young Robert really came to look for Zhou Ming.'

Old Brooker had an expression of understanding: 'This is inevitable. Although Robert is somewhat naive in many things, he is still a member of the Adams family after all, and he has a basic level of intelligence. It is also obvious that he really likes that woman from Hong Kong. And of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to be used as a pawn, so he will definitely come to Zhou Ming.'

'But the Chinese guy was pretty cooperative too, actually fighting with Robert as soon as they disagreed. He wasted his only chance!' said Will.

Old Brook looked at Will and said, 'That's not necessarily the case. The Chinese guy is not that stupid. He knows very well that Robert never intended to cooperate with him in anything. As for them fighting, I'm afraid it was because Robert said something he shouldn't have. But anyway, this is all very good news for us.'

Will Adams smiled and said, 'Yes, with the conflict between the Chinese guy and Robert today, just wait and see what happens!'
