Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing returned to the city, but he didn’t go straight home to rest. Instead, he went back to the Bauhinia Flower and climbed up to Scar Lee’s office on the fourth floor.

Scar Lee had brought back the goods and was in a good mood, humming a tune in his office. He had no idea that after he’d left, the storage spot had been thoroughly raided by Ye Qing.

After waiting for more than forty minutes, the office door suddenly opened, and Eldest Brother Lin walked in with a dozen men.

Scarface hadn’t expected Old Lin to come at this time and was taken aback. He stood up hurriedly and said, ”Eldest Brother, what brings you here?”

Eldest Brother Lin didn’t speak and walked directly to the desk to sit down. Scarface’s face filled with surprise. As he tried to approach Old Lin, he was immediately blocked by someone beside him.

Scarface was even more puzzled. He was one of Eldest Brother Lin’s most trusted underlings. What was the meaning of this?

”Eldest Brother, what’s happened?” Scarface asked.

”What’s happened? You don’t know?” Eldest Brother Lin looked at Scarface and said, ”Xiao Li, you’ve been with me for almost ten years. From the very first deal we did, I’ve always treated you as my best brother. But I never expected that you would be the first one to betray me!”

”Eldest Brother, what are you talking about?” Scar Lee asked in astonishment. ”I betrayed you? When did I ever betray you?”

”At this point, you still want to deny it?” Old Lin said coldly. ”Xiao Li, I’ve been good to you; why would you team up with someone surnamed Ye to go against me?”

”I... teamed up with someone surnamed Ye?” Scar Lee was even more ambiguous. ”Who said that? Who said I teamed up with him? Right now, I wish I could kill him with my own hands; how could I possibly be in cahoots with him?”

”Stop the act in front of me!” Eldest Brother Lin slapped the table angrily. ”Tonight, right after you left that storage spot, Ye Qing immediately appeared, raided it, killed more than twenty of my men, and took nearly one million dollars’ worth of goods. Xiao Li, that storage spot has been hidden for so long, and not many people know about it.

Moreover, during this time, you were the only one who went there to get the goods. Tell me, how the hell did Ye Qing find that place?”

Scar Lee didn’t even know that such a thing had happened after he left, and he scratched his head in surprise, ”Eldest Brother, Ye Qing raided our storage spot? When did this happen?”

”It just happened, right after you left. He showed up immediately!” Eldest Brother Lin said angrily.

”Ah?” Scar Lee’s face turned pale, realizing what this implied and finally understanding why Old Lin was angry.

”Eldest Brother, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!” Scar Lee hurriedly tried to approach Old Lin but was blocked again.

”Eldest Brother, I really didn’t do it. I don’t even know what happened. Eldest Brother, believe me, I’ve been with you for so many years; how could I betray you?”

”You can never really know someone,” Old Lin said slowly, shaking his head. Suddenly, he gestured and said in a deep voice, ”Seize him!”

Hearing this, Ye Qing immediately flipped into the next compartment. A few men and women, perhaps caught up in their revelry, were tangled together in frenzy. Ye Qing burst in through the window, and they were all startled, staring at Ye Qing in astonishment.

”What... What are you doing?” one of them asked cautiously.

Ye Qing said casually, ”Just passing by, continue on with your fun!”

”Just passing by?” They looked at each other, dumbfounded. After a while, one finally exclaimed angrily, ”You’re fucking with me. This is the fourth floor; how are you just passing by? Get the hell out of here now, or I’ll fucking kill you...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Qing had already punched him in the face, knocking him onto the sofa.

The women couldn’t help but scream. Ye Qing stood up abruptly, pointed at the girls, and said sternly, ”Shut up!”

The girls immediately clammed up while the other three men became angry and surrounded Ye Qing.

”Who dares hit my brother? Kill him!” One man shouted as the three attacked at once.

Ye Qing sighed and, without any courtesy, quickly floored the three men. The women were even more stunned, trembling with fear, not daring to emit a single sound.

Ye Qing ignored them and walked to the door, quietly pulling it ajar to carefully observe the situation outside.

In the office, upon hearing Old Lin’s words, Scar Lee’s face turned pale. Without waiting for the others to make a move, Scar Lee suddenly leapt up, forcefully pushing one person toward Old Lin and then bolting for the door.

His sudden outburst took everyone inside by surprise. Before they could react, Scar Lee had already rushed out of the room.

”Catch him! Catch him!” Old Lin bellowed from inside the room, snapping everyone to their senses as they hurriedly chased after him.

Outside, more than thirty men were standing guard. Hearing Old Lin’s voice, they immediately turned to look. By then, Scar Lee had already dashed out, circumventing a dozen people before anyone could react. However, there were too many men outside, and finally, someone grabbed him, pinning him to the ground with the help of two or three others.

”Let me go! Let me go! It really wasn’t me; it really wasn’t me!” Scar Lee screamed desperately, knowing that if he were caught, his life would be over. Having been with Old Lin for so many years, he knew all too well the methods Old Lin would employ.

”Do you think I would believe you?” Boss Lin was ranting as he walked out of the office; however, before he could even leave, the door of the adjacent private room suddenly flung open.

A masked man rushed out at lightning speed and in an instant was by the side of those holding down Scar Lee, unleashing punches and kicks so swiftly that they were all knocked to the ground by Ye Qing almost simultaneously.

Scar Lee managed to break free, and at that moment, still not understanding what was happening, he looked at the masked man in astonishment, unsure who it was.

”Still not running? Waiting to die?” the masked man chided lowly, and it was only then that Scar Lee realized the urgency of the situation and immediately turned to run.

”Catch him! Catch him!” Boss Lin yelled frantically, and immediately a dozen or so men gave chase.

The masked man stood in the corridor, his fists and feet flying, toppling the few men in the forefront to the ground. Seeing Scar Lee enter the elevator, the masked man didn’t linger and turned to run back into the private room, jumping out the window.

Boss Lin’s men split into two groups, one chasing after Scar Lee, but it was already too late. The others ran into the private room, only to see the masked man nimbly jumping down from the window—an escape they couldn’t follow.

Old Lin raced into the private room and, seeing the masked man already standing in the alley below, shook with fury.

”Eldest Brother, who is that?” one of the underlings asked, puzzled.

”Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely Ye Qing!” Boss Lin said indignantly, ”Damn it, Bastard, do you think covering your face means I can’t recognize you? Trying to cover for Scar in the heat of the moment, you two must really be in cahoots! Scar, you’d better pray I don’t catch you, or I’ll chop you to pieces!”

On the other side, Scar Lee had narrowly escaped and now, not daring to think too much, ran into the parking lot, got into a car, and charged out. He was very clear in his own mind that if Boss Lin caught up with him, he would be as good as dead.

Of course, what puzzled him even more was who the masked man who suddenly came to his rescue was. It baffled him who would save him at such a critical moment!

As he speculated, his car reached the exit of the underground parking garage. Right at that moment, the masked man appeared at the exit, calmly watching Scar Lee drive by.

Scar Lee was even more surprised and paused for a moment as he drove up to the exit. The masked man was decisive, simply opening the door and getting in.

”Who are you, really?” Scar Lee asked in a deep voice.

”Drive. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape soon,” the masked man warned.

Only then did Scar Lee remember he was fleeing for his life; he didn’t dare to say more, pressed the accelerator, and hurried off.

Once he was certain that no one was following him, Scar Lee finally breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, ”Who the hell are you?”

The masked man removed the cloth from his face, revealing his true identity.

”It’s you!” Scar Lee’s face changed drastically. The masked man was none other than Ye Qing!

Scar Lee could never have imagined that Ye Qing would be the one to save him at this critical moment.

Ye Qing ignored his astonishment and instructed, ”Drive west. There are police over there, and Old Lin won’t dare to go for the time being.”

Scar Lee didn’t follow Ye Qing’s instructions but instead stopped the car at the roadside, saying indignantly, ”Why did you save me?”

Ye Qing answered, ”You’d better keep going. If Boss Lin catches up, you won’t be able to get away!”

”Cut the crap with your fake mercy. I don’t know what’s waiting for me to the west. I’m taking you to Eldest Brother right now to prove I’m no traitor!” Scar Lee said, bending over to start the car.

”I advise you not to go back,” Ye Qing shook his head and continued, ”Do you know why I covered my face to save you?”

”Why?” Scar Lee was taken aback; he couldn’t understand the reason either.

”Actually, whether I cover my face or not, Old Lin would definitely know I saved you,” explained Ye Qing, looking at Scar Lee. ”But wearing a mask creates a different effect.”

”What difference?” Scar Lee couldn’t figure it out.

Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, ”If I’m masked, it gives him the illusion that I’m deliberately covering for you. This would only solidify his belief that you’ve betrayed him. So now, you and he have completely parted ways, and I advise you not to go back. Even if you bring me with you, don’t expect to survive. You know Old Lin’s temperament better than I do!”

Scar Lee furrowed his brows tightly; he certainly understood Old Lin’s character and knew that what Ye Qing said was the truth.

Looking at Ye Qing, Scar Lee said angrily, ”You... you’re doing this on purpose to harm me, aren’t you?”

”You’re right, I am indeed intentionally harming you,” Ye Qing said with a light smile. ”But from another perspective, I’m actually saving you!”
