Chapter 929: Xiao Chong Side Story 23

But before Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong could exchange glances, the tattooed man who almost got hit by Xiao Chong’s bike angrily threw a straight punch at Xiao Chong.

Surprisingly, Xiao Chong didn’t dodge and got slammed against the wall.

Lin Wanwan: "!!!"

She was about to kick, but Xiao Chong reached out and held her back, blocking the open space where she could attack.

"Hey, you two, I have money! Can I use money to settle this?"

Xiao Chong’s cool voice had a unique texture in the dim environment. It didn’t sound scared, but it wasn’t aggressive either.

Lin Wanwan just felt it was strange. What happened to Xiao Chong? Why is he like this...

He could wield a sword with flair and dismantle all her combat techniques single-handedly!

Could it be that his martial arts are all for show and not practical in real combat?

The two tattooed men, upon hearing Xiao Chong mention he had money, became even more arrogant.

Initially, seeing that Xiao Chong was tall and large, they felt a bit intimidated, but it turned out he was just a cowardly empty shell.

"Fine, then hand over some money." The tattooed man cursed and spat vile profanities while slapping Xiao Chong’s chiselled face with a military knife.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t understand how Xiao Chong could endure this without retaliating physically or verbally.

She impulsively wanted to act, but Xiao Chong tightly restrained her.

Facing the arrogant thugs, Xiao Chong simply turned his face slightly and calmly said, "I don’t have money on me, but I have some at home. It’s nearby, we can go there."

"Hahaha! Go to your house? Do you think we’re fools..."

"No one’s home. I live alone."

Xiao Chong interrupted them and even blocked the tattooed man’s incoming slap with his hand, doing the most cowardly thing while saying the calmest words, "I study here; there’s nowhere to run. I wouldn’t dare to lie to you."

Maybe Xiao Chong’s act was too cowardly, and his proposal too tempting, so the two tattooed men agreed to go with them to get the money.

The bicycle was left behind, and Xiao Chong led Lin Wanwan towards his home.

"Hey, is this Lin Wanwan your girl?"

"Yeah."

"Heh, pretty boy coward, but you still know how to protect your woman. Haha, not bad, not bad, you’re not completely useless."

"Hey, if you give enough money, we won’t lay a finger on your woman. Just be more generous with money in the future, understand?"

"Yeah."

Lin Wanwan was infuriated upon hearing this, but Xiao Chong accepted it, letting the thugs spew insults.

He simply squeezed Lin Wanwan’s hand tightly, as if telling her to endure a little longer.

Alright!

A sharp blade above the heart word, I will endure!

They quickly walked back to the community. When passing the security guard post, Lin Wanwan glanced over, only to have Xiao Chong palm her head and tuck it under his arm, preventing eye contact with the guard.

The two tattooed men saw that this was a villa area, and since there were no lights where Xiao Chong was heading, they were reassured that no one was home.

If the lights were on, they would definitely turn and run, ready to ambush next time, ensuring they wouldn’t let him go.

Xiao Chong led Lin Wanwan, along with the two tattooed men holding multifunctional folding military knives, into the house.

He turned on the lights, opened a drawer, and took out money, a total of 40,000 yuan in cash.

"This is my pocket money, it’s all here." Xiao Chong handed the money to the tattooed man. Just as they were smiling and reaching for it, he suddenly retracted his hand, making them grasp at empty air.

"Are you looking to die?" The tattooed man angrily swung a fist, while the other taunted with the folding knife.

Xiao Chong blocked the punch, but stumbled and fell against the cabinet behind him, though his tone remained calm, "You can have the money, but I want to know who sent you to trouble Lin Wanwan?"

The tattooed man snatched the money from his hand, kicked him, and sneered, "Your grandpa sent us."

After that, the two of them kicked and beat Xiao Chong again, while Xiao Chong held Lin Wanwan in his arms, enduring the beating and insults.

The two thugs threatened and warned for a bit, then left with the money.

"Are you okay?" After they left, Lin Wanwan quickly looked up at Xiao Chong, "Why didn’t you fight back? Why did you keep holding me? Did I learn combat techniques for nothing? You just stood there and let them hit you?"

Lin Wanwan truly couldn’t understand.

"Practicing combat is for strengthening your body, not for fighting men," Xiao Chong inexplicably smiled and softly said, "Wait at my place for a bit, I’ll be right back."
