Chapter 1278: Chapter 727: Losing Face Completely

How could I not retaliate before reporting?

Could it really be that I’m supposed to just stand here and take a beating?

Anyway, there’s no way I’m sitting ducks; I’m definitely going to strike first no matter what.

No one can hurt me, I’ve already taken note of that punch from Ling Yu.

Now, I have to punch back no matter what, or I won’t be able to swallow this insult.

No matter what, I have my pride, Ling Yu punched me in front of everyone.

How could I possibly stay quiet and swallow my anger?

If I did that, my face would be totally lost.

With this thought, I felt even more anger boiling up, my chest heaving.

I must have looked extremely angry.

The surrounding audience, upon witnessing this, all showed expressions of extreme surprise.

"Damn, is this going to end up in a death?"

"There shouldn’t be a fatality; I think their fighting is quite measured."

"What’s there to be afraid of? Aren’t there crew members here?"

"Yeah, those two crew members have been standing there from the beginning; they’re watching."

"When the time comes, they’ll naturally step in.

So there’s nothing to be afraid of.

After all, the crew are here watching the show; what’s there to fear?

We just need to watch the drama unfold.

There won’t be any deaths."

Moments later, I glared at Qin Yuan with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"All of this is caused by you; if you hadn’t made that bet with us here, none of this would have happened."

"Hey, kid, why aren’t you saying a word, feeling guilty, so you dare not speak? But you think by being silent, I’ll forgive you?"

"You’re definitely going to get beaten badly by me; it’s just not the right time yet, our bet is still ongoing."

I really hated this brat.

It was this brat who insisted on playing chess with Ling Yu.

That’s what irritated me.

That’s why I knocked the chessboard over.

Actually, I didn’t want to make too big a scene with Ling Yu.

After all, Big Brother Shan had put pressure on me.

So I also needed to find a way to step down.

Big Brother Shan and Black Bear exchanged glances, silently relieved.

It seemed I hadn’t completely lost my reason.

Still a bit rational, otherwise, I wouldn’t be speaking like this.

After a short pause, Qin Yuan gave a cold chuckle.

"Why don’t you mention that it was your own fault? If you hadn’t insisted that the woman stay by your side from the start."

"Would things have escalated to this point? If you hadn’t knocked the Gobang pieces onto the ground, would I have played Xiangqi with Ling Yu?"

"It was because you knocked the chess pieces to the ground that Ling Yu ended up striking you. All of this is something you should bear."

Qin Yuan wasn’t going to take any sort of mistreatment.

He’d retort immediately if something wasn’t right.

He wouldn’t silently endure.

Silence was not his style.

Before my words even finished, I could visibly see my face darken.

Ling Yu snickered and immediately looked away.

Qin Yuan ignored my gaze and continued.

"It’s what you deserve, and not that I’m cursing you, but it’s what you rightly deserve. Just think about whether it’s your own fault."

"To be able to recognize and correct your errors is a great virtue; we’ll see if this can be reflected in you."

My fists were already clenched tightly, veins even bulging out.

It wasn’t the first time I clenched my fists today.

Big Brother Shan silently observed Qin Yuan.

Black Bear finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Brat, what are you saying? Aren’t your words too harsh? What does this have to do with him?"

"Don’t push all the blame onto him; do you think you’re faultless? You shouldn’t have bet with Ling Yu to begin with."

"If you hadn’t made that bet, none of this would have happened; it’s because of you guys that things have come to this point!"

This was clearly this brat’s problem.

So this brat had to take responsibility.

It wasn’t right not to take responsibility.

Qin Yuan rolled his eyes dismissively and didn’t argue with them.

Ling Yu also stood silently to the side.

I was still very angry.

But the next second, Ling Yu threw a punch.

I fell to the ground completely unprepared.

The surrounding area fell silent.

There were even stifled laughs.

Just couldn’t hold it in any longer.

This scene was just too funny.

I just lay there on the ground.

And this wasn’t the first time it happened.

It had happened just a moment before.

So it was really hilarious.

Now, I had a stomach full of grievances.

Big Brother Shan hurried over to help me up.

Black Bear also came to help.

But I just couldn’t swallow the insult and immediately looked towards Ling Yu, my fist swinging.

But just as my fist was about to hit Ling Yu, I stopped suddenly.

Because I realized Ling Yu had no intention of dodging.

What was going on here?

Why wasn’t he dodging?

This wasn’t like Ling Yu at all.

My fist hung in mid-air.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the surrounding people started to look puzzled and even began to mutter among themselves.

"What the hell is going on? Wasn’t I supposed to hit him?"

"I just took two punches from him; am I not going to retaliate?"
