Super Soldier King-Chapter 18: Don’t cry until you see the coffin
When Ye Qian walked inside the hospital ward, seeing in the ward gifts piled upon the bedside cabinet, Ye Qian couldn’t help but to be too flabbergasted to even ask. Just now realising that as it turn outs the one that injured Lao Die, Zeng Da Fu, actually went to pay Lao Die a visit. Moreover, in front of Lao Die’s face, he offered an apology to make amends and to compensate Lao Die’s medical expenses. Ye Qian slightly nodding his head, he wasn’t an unreasonable type of person. Although Zeng Da Fu made mistakes, he knew his mistakes and corrected them. For him, finding Zeng Day Fu was nothing more than to demand justice for Lao Die. As for the matters of compensation, Ye Qian did not at all care about it. Since this guy has now sincerely come over to admit his errors, Ye Qian unexpectedly did not need to investigate any further. Moreover, Lao Die, at his side, incessantly urged Ye Qian to forget about this matter. Ye Qian knew Lao Die was worried that he would cause trouble; so he promised Lao Die that he wouldn't need to worry about him doing so.
At the hospital, he accompanied Lao Die to have a chat for a while, and Ye Qian talked about looking to find a stable job. If he were to have a job, Lao Die could feel relieved. Driving the stolen/seized Honda Fit, just outside the doorway of the hospital, he was stopped by a group of people on the road. Ye Qian’s eyes swept calmly across area. These were precisely those group of pickpockets that he beat up yesterday. There was a dense group of them, at least thirty of them. Ye Qian faintly exposed a smile; it seems that these people have come to find him for revenge.
Opening the door, Ye Qian walked outside, his glare slowly moving across each and every one of them, and then he indifferently said: “What?” Did you quickly prepare the money already?”
The one injured by Ye Qian yesterday, Li Dong, took the lead and glared at Ye Qian. He waved his hand and then said: “Beat him to death!”
Ye Qian exposed a grin, it seems that yesterday he was too light on them. These people did not know pain. These people were truly a group of individuals that refused to be convinced until they faced grim reality. Watching these people waving their steel pipes and machetes, Ye QIan helplessly shook his head. To handle these people it seemed the best way was to use violence to curb violence. He wasn’t afraid of fighting them all at once, but rather he was afraid that it would be without end. With this in mind, Ye Qian did not hesitate, and his feet moved to go up to welcome them.
Li Dong watched Ye Qian and saw he didn’t have the slightest amount of fear on him, and to one’s surprise he even took the initiative to come face them. He couldn’t help but to be shocked, thinking to himself: could it be that this fellow was not even a bit afraid of dying?
Because of his time and his life amidst the mercenaries, Ye Qian truly did not fear death, let alone in front of these hooligans who fundamentally had no capability to send himself to death. Ye Qian’s skill was one of the very best in the Wolf Fang Mercenaries, those from MM country’s seal leopard special military forces, the E country’s polar bear special military forces. These veteran soldiers in front of Ye Qian were unable to go a few rounds against him, let alone these who haven’t experienced the baptism of true blood. These hooligans didn’t have any regular formal training.
Ye Qian was like a fierce tiger setting down and leaping to move away, disposing them nimbly and fast. Only hearing the sounds anguished wailing, those that got close to Ye Qian had their arms broken as well as had their ribs were fractured - they collapsed onto the ground and did not have the capability to retaliate even a bit. Li Dong at this moment understood, the reason as to why Ye Qian was calm and tranquil as he saw so many people. It turns out that this person has some background, and basically did not see them as much of a challenge. Lin Dong was afraid, in the end he felt unsure of his actions - whether it was right or wrong.
It didn’t take much longer, all the hooligans called in by Li Dong were put down on the ground by Ye Qian one by one. Each lay across the ground and constantly wailed in pain. Ye Qian exposed a a grin and picked up a macheted lying on the ground, and then slowly walked over to Li Dong.
“Demon!” in Li Dong’s mind he couldn’t find a different word - he did not know what else apart from demon could describe Ye Qian - or even if there were another term that could describe him. Seeing Ye Qian step by step walk closer to him, Li Dong was filled with so much fear that he every fiber in his body was paralysed. Although he could hardly be considered a moral person, he was at a relatively grey area of morality - but he definitely didn’t come close to the moral decrepitude of genuine underworld criminals. Ordinarily, they relied on their influence to bully the honest, but in front Ye Qian and in his current situation, he was only filled with fear.
“You…..Don’t you come over here!” Li Dong nervously said.
Ye Qian all of sudden smiled, exposing his demonic characteristic in his grin, and faintly said: “Yesterday, I said to bring me money to redeem the car, you don’t really pay much attention do you, are you deaf?”
Li Dong did not think for even a bit that Ye Qian’s smiling expression was filled with any goodwill, this was clearly the demon’s smile. Li Dong felt such incredible fear that he was unable to support himself any longer. His legs became soft, “plop” as he kneeled down, slapping his face as he pleaded: “Da Ge, it was my mistake, my eyes could not recognize such a great person. I seek you to spare this dog life of mine. The money, I will get it right away and will give it to you.
“You say you are not a lonely criminal, if you had returned the money earlier everything would have been fine.” Ye Qian said in a condescending and hate-filled tone. “But, since you’ve come to find me to take revenge, at the very least I will also regain a little bit of interest. Is this what you are saying?”
Seeing Ye Qian expose his crooked smile, he felt so intimidated that he started to have cold sweat forming. Finally, he couldn’t endure any longer and started to piss himself. Ye Qian kicked him on the ground, one foot stepping on his left hand, and both hands grabbing Li Dong’s right hand. Using force to twist it, a “Ka Cha” sound erupted. Li Dong’s entire arm dangled down. Li Dong issued the wail of a dying pig - on the ground he continuously writhed. He truly regretted coming over to find Ye Qian. In front of him was an individual who was absolutely not a man, but a demon coming from the hells of Asura.
Ye Qian was accustomed to seeing death, and regarding Lin Dong’s pitiful cries, he did not show even the slightest hint of a response. His facial expressions did not change by even a muscle and he indifferently said: “I will give you one more opportunity or if you are interested in playing, I will accompany you to the end. Did you hear me clearly?
To continue on playing again? Even if Li Dong had the guts of ten people, he would still not dare. His greatest wish right now was to leave this demon and go to a far off place to avoid him for the rest of his life. Hearing the words of Ye Qian, Li Dong repeatedly said: “Da Ge, I don’t dare. In the future, I would also never dare. Tomorrow I will certainly deliver the money to you on time.
Ye Qian nodded his head in satisfaction, then said: “Very good, I will wait for you.” Finished speaking, Ye Qian turned around and returned to the car, throttling the car to full speed. In any case, it wasn’t his car. On the raod driving all the way for 170 yards - whether or not the light was red or green - a wild tiger dashing through the streets.
Aimlessly and speedily passing through the street, he unintentionally passed through the doorway of a company and discovered outside the entrance an advertisement for job recruitment applications. Wanted: A security guard, male, between the ages of twenty to thirty, priority to veteran soldiers. Monthly income between one thousand four hundred to one thousand six hundred.
Security guard - it seems like a pretty good job, Ye Qian mumbled. Exposing a slight smile, Ye Qian parked the car at the side of the street, getting out to walk over. After all, he came to accept a job offer as a security, generally they could not afford to drive their way here. It would be a wonder if other people didn’t consider him as some of kind eccentric person.
TLN: The chapter name is an idiom for refusing to be convinced until you face a grim reality - basically referring to Lin Dong as the unbeliever and Ye Qian as the grim reality.
