Chapter 72.2

The leader of the kidnapper flicked his eyes wantonly on Hua Zi Zang’s face and then smiled knowingly: “No wonder, even an old man like me thinks this face looks good.”

Hua Zi Zang glared at him but unfortunately his mouth was tightly blocked by a handkerchief, so he could only utter a murmur.

The leader of the kidnappers tore off the handkerchief in Hua Zi Zang mouth.

Because his mouth was open for a long time, Hua Zi Zang felt that his mouth was about to go numb. It took him some effort to close his mouth with difficulty and after a short rest, he said weakly, “Give me back my things.”

“Give it back to you?” The leader of the kidnappers smirked and patted Hua Zi Zang’s face with the jade stick, “Why do you want me to give it back to you? So you take it back and stuff it up your ass?”

“You…” Hua Zi Zang was at a loss for words and his already pale face turned even more ugly.

Although he has traveled among the people for many years and met all kinds of people, which person he had met did not call him “Doctor Hua” respectfully?

Even a vulgar person who has never read a book would not say such vulgar words to him.

Hua Zi Zang grew up with his parents since he was a child and his family education was very strict. Not only did he not have a tongfang1(maid who serves in bed) but he never even set foot in the red light district. Now he is being humiliated by the leader of the kidnappers in front of everyone. 

He could feel the astonished looks from his fellow hostages, which were like knives stabbing him.

The leader of the kidnappers didn’t care what Hua Zi Zang was thinking. He rolled his eyes and said in a negotiating tone: “I can return this jade to you but what will you give in exchange?”

Hua Zi Zang glared at the leader of the kidnappers with red eyes.

“How about this?” The leader of the kidnappers said, “If you tell me the name of your little lover, I will return the jade to you immediately and when Prince Xuan and General Lin come with the silver two days later to ransom you, you can return happily with the jade.”

Hua Zi Zang felt vigilant: “What do you want to do?”

The leader of the kidnappers laughed, not hiding anything: “What can I do? Your little lover can even take out the things in the palace and me and my brothers would like to go and see who he really is.”

Hua Zi Zang looked coldly at the wrinkled face and yellowed teeth of the leader of the kidnapper and the nausea lingering in his chest surged up his throat and he said word by word: “Dreaming on.”

The leader of the kidnappers, who was still smiling at first, paused immediately but his expression changed suddenly in the next moment.

“I gave you a chance, don’t toast, don’t eat, don’t punish2(The metaphor for not knowing how to stand up and how to tell good or bad  and is derived from the Beijing opera “Red Lantern: Fighting Hatoyama at a Banquet”.).” The leader of the kidnapper squeezed the jade stick in his hand, stood up awkwardly and stared fiercely at Hua Zi Zang, “Are you going to tell me or not?”

Hua Zi Zang didn’t even raise his head, as if he didn’t hear the voice of the leader of the kidnappers.

The leader of the kidnappers was angry: “Even if you don’t say it, I can beat you to say it, Ah Yao!”

He was calling the younger brother from earlier.

Unfortunately, the little brother did not make a sound.

The leader of the kidnappers waited for a while but he didn’t hear any footsteps and suddenly became impatient: “Ah Yao, get your ass over here!”

The younger brother remained silent.

The leader of the kidnappers lost his patience and turned his head, only then did he notice belatedly the smell of blood in the air.

He saw two men in black robes standing in front of several open wooden boxes. The masks covered the faces of the two people and at their feet… a person whose neck had been broken lay silently on the floor.

The leader of the kidnapper never expected to see this scene, he was stunned. He had no idea where these two people came from, when they stood behind him and how they killed so many people without making a sound .

At the same time, a few younger brothers standing beside the leader of the kidnappers were also shocked.

The leader of the kidnappers took a deep breath, shouted in fear and anger, “Who are you?”

The shorter man in black robe seemed to be very frightened, leaning tremblingly against the taller man in black robe, while the taller black robed man held the wooden box in his hand. His long sharpened fingertips gently clasped the box, his gaze flicked around the wooden box, then landed on the kidnapper leader’s hand, “Bring it here.”

“…” The leader of the kidnappers suddenly understood that the other party was coming for these jade bars. He clutched the jade strips in his hand and jumped in anger, “I am asking you, who are you? You dare to kill my men, believe it or not I’ll peel your skin!”

Who knew that the man in black robe didn’t take his threats seriously at all, looked at him as if he was looking at a clown and chuckled lightly: “You’re not going to bring it over, are you?”

Seeing that the black-robed man ignored his words, the leader of the kidnappers turned livid with anger but he was afraid of the black-robed man’s skill, so he raised his chin to the younger brothers beside him: “Go and catch them.”

The younger brothers timidly carried the knife and went ahead.

But even before they had time to get close to the black-robed man, they saw the black-robed man suddenly approaching them, with the flick of his palm, hitting them at an extremely fast speed.

They didn’t even realize what happened just now, they paused, lowered their heads and looked at their chests in a daze – their clothes were shattered and their chests were already bloody.

The kidnappers fell one by one and finally only the leader of the kidnappers remained.

The leader of the kidnapper was so frightened by the bloody and terrifying scene that his crotch became hot, his legs limp and he fell to the ground. Before the man in black came to him, he quickly rolled and crawled towards him.
