Chapter 1015 - 1014: Beat Them Until They’re Down and Out
Watanabe Shinji finally panicked. There were eight of them in total, and in just a few seconds, three had been knocked down. Who knew if he would be the next one to fall when the next second arrived?Damn it, the horizontal distance alone from their position to the small hotel was over ten meters. The other side used a stone to directly knock someone down. Damn, what kind of strength and accuracy do you need for that?
What's even more baffling is that until now, he still didn't know which room in the small hotel the other side was using for their counterattack.
Chu Ge, having thrown three stones, still had three left. However, he didn't continue; instead, he smirked coldly, observing Watanabe Shinji and his gang's reaction in the dark.
If he continued, it would be too easy to expose his target. Besides, the looks on those cowardly rats' faces were truly spectacular right now. It would be a shame not to enjoy it.
After the initial chaos, the lights in the small hotel gradually turned on, and shadows began to appear beside the windows.
Some people looked down, some cursed angrily, and a few picked up the stones that scared or injured them, launching a counterattack in the direction of Watanabe Shinji's group.
At first, only a few individuals did this, but quickly, those who were previously watching joined in. Watanabe Shinji's group was immediately bombarded and looked utterly ridiculous.
Before bringing people to cause trouble, Watanabe Shinji never dreamed such a situation would occur during the process. Usually, in situations like this, ordinary people would react by being timid and silent.
According to Watanabe Shinji's initial plan, this process should involve them throwing all their stones recklessly, making a few harsh remarks, and then leaving ostentatiously.
Actually, Watanabe Shinji's idea wasn't wrong. If it weren't for a small accident occurring during this process, the event would have likely developed according to his expectations.
The accident was more than just a little, but essentially, it was those extremely accurate and vicious stones that created this situation, instantly taking down three of their people, catching them off guard and leaving them incredulous.
Their side was bewildered, fearing that the next to fall would be themselves, naturally looking like a bunch of startled birds. There wasn't even a hint of their usual arrogant demeanor.
Just at this moment, the people in the hotel slightly regained their composure. Seeing their cowardly appearance, their anger outweighed their fear of the situation, so some people couldn't refrain from counterattacking.
Fear of the strong while bullying the weak is always the instinct of intelligent beings. Since Watanabe Shinji's group turned from weak to weaker, people in the hotel turned from strong to stronger.
So, this matter developed in a completely different way from Watanabe Shinji's expectations. They ended up not even making a sound; they lifted the people who were knocked down and fled in disgrace.
There was no point in making harsh words now. It would be too humiliating to mention their Qinghong Association's name.
Besides, when were folks from Qinghong Association ever this pathetic? Wouldn't the people in the hotel think they were just boasting?
Watching Watanabe Shinji and his gang flee in disarray, Chu Ge sneered, throwing the remaining stones back at them mercilessly.
Chu Ge showed no mercy at all. These three stones all went for the back of their heads. Watanabe Shinji and two others took a solid hit, falling to the ground in a crude manner. It took them a long time to barely stand up, but they were so dizzy that even walking in a straight line became a problem.
Watanabe Shinji's intimidation action against the small hotel ended in complete failure, and the price they paid was quite heavy.
Watanabe Shinji's nasal bone was fractured, and he lost two of his upper teeth. Saito Daikan lost an eye, and the others suffered various degrees of injuries, with the least injured having a concussion.
Watching Watanabe Shinji and his gang's retreating figures, Chu Ge snorted coldly from his nose, turned around, turned on the light in the room, and returned to Qin Ruoying's side.
"It's all right now. Those annoying guys have been driven away. How do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"I should be fine." Qin Ruoying shook her head, lightly touching the area near the wound on her forehead with her finger. She winced and drew in a sharp breath. "It just hurts a bit."
Chu Ge had already checked Qin Ruoying's injuries earlier. He now examined them carefully again, confirming they were just flesh wounds and would heal quickly without attention. His heart finally settled back into place.
"Want to go to my room for a while?"
"Mm."
After just experiencing such an ordeal, Qin Ruoying felt no sleepiness despite her usual carefree nature. She got dressed, picked up her bag, and followed Chu Ge out of the room.
By this time, the corridor was bustling with people, some still angry, others shaken, discussing the recent events in Japanese.
Chu Ge led Qin Ruoying back to the room. Qin Ruojing had left the window's side and was taken aback upon seeing her sister's forehead injury, quickly walking over.
"Xiao Ying, your head..."
"It's nothing serious. It looks frightening, but it's just a scratch. Once it stops bleeding altogether, I'll wash it in the bathroom."
Though Qin Ruoying was quite in pain, she didn't want her sister to worry too much. She smiled lightly and spoke nonchalantly.
Qin Ruojing glanced at Chu Ge, and seeing him nod, she felt somewhat relieved. Still, her face showed deep concern when she looked at Qin Ruoying.
She had brought Qin Ruoying here to make her happy, yet on the second day in Japan, they encountered such an incident. Even though she knew it wasn't her fault, she still felt a bit guilty. She thought if Chu Ge had been by her sister's side, then her sister might not have been hurt.
"By the way, brother-in-law, what actually happened just now? Was it Watanabe Shinji who brought people here?"
Sensing the guilt in her sister's demeanor, Qin Ruoying quickly guessed what she was thinking. She hurriedly sat on the chair next to the computer desk, shifted her gaze to Chu Ge, and steered the conversation away.
Chu Ge nodded, "Yes, it was him along with Saito Daikan, and besides them, there were six other people."
"Bastard! That Watanabe Shinji truly lives up to his name! Is he really Shinji? Even threatening Su Xiao is despicable enough, but stirring up trouble like this is too vile. There are so many innocent people in this hotel! Who did they provoke? I got hit by several stones, and my head is bleeding; who did I provoke?"
Fuming, Qin Ruoying slapped the table, causing pain in the spots on her shoulder and arm where stones had hit her. She grimaced immediately.
"Knock knock..."
As Qin Ruoying finished speaking, there was a hesitant knock at the door. The person outside had raised their hand as soon as she started talking but only knocked after she had finished her rant.
The three inside exchanged glances, and once the sisters confirmed they were presentable, Qin Ruojing got up to open the door.
At the door stood three people: the Su siblings and their uncle, the hotel owner, Su Yuanzhou.
Su Yuanzhou had a complex expression, seeming slightly dazed. He didn't react until Qin Ruojing politely greeted him as "Boss Su?" Then, he glanced at the even more troubled Su Xiao and forced a smile at Qin Ruojing.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but... you seem to have mentioned my niece Su Xiao's name, suggesting that the earlier incident was meant to threaten her?"
On hearing Su Yuanzhou's question, Qin Ruojing felt awkward, and Qin Ruoying was also conflicted. She hadn't expected such a coincidence where those who understood Chinese happened to be right outside the door.
However, since the matter had come this far and given that these were Su Xiao's family members, Qin Ruojing hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Boss Su, it's just conjecture on our part. Whether that's true or not, we cannot be certain. Perhaps you should ask your niece about it."
Su Yuanzhou pondered for a bit and said, "Miss Qin, I actually came by to check on each room's situation, apologize for the incident, and ascertain how many were injured and whether anyone needs immediate hospital care. How serious are Miss Qin's injuries?"
Qin Ruojing looked back at Qin Ruoying, evidently wishing her sister to respond to the question.
Qin Ruoying shook her head, "Boss Su, I'm alright. We're all Hua Country nationals, there's no need to be overly courteous, let alone apologize. Compared to us, your losses are biggest, and your troubles are most. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to let us know."
Upon hearing Qin Ruoying's words, Su Yuanzhou gave a grateful look and said, "Thank you all very much. If it's convenient, I'll come back later. I'll continue checking on other guests now, okay?"
"Boss Su, you go ahead; it's no inconvenience. Considering what has just happened, none of us are sleepy. Even if we wanted to sleep, with the window broken, we couldn't sleep now."
Qin Ruoying laughed heartily and nodded.
