Upon hearing these words, both Tian Zhaoyan and Fang Yuwei were slightly stunned.

In their impression, Yang Ling’s character used to be somewhat weak. Let alone facing Tian Zhaoyan, he would avoid even the slightly domineering people at school like the plague.

But now, his calm gaze and indifferent tone made him seem like a completely different person.

Tian Zhaoyan even detected a wisp of contempt in Yang Ling’s eyes, which displeased him greatly.

He sneered, “Haven’t seen you in over half a year, and you really have changed.”

“Do you really think you’re a civil servant just because you became an auxiliary police officer?”

“Let me tell you, trash will always be trash. Believe it or not, with one word, I can make sure you can’t even keep this job as an auxiliary cop!”

Seeing that Tian Zhaoyan seemed genuinely angry, Fang Yuwei hurriedly said, “Brother Yan, forget it. He’s already pitiful enough.”

“We won’t have any interaction with him in the future. Let’s go!”

These words made Tian Zhaoyan feel a bit better. Seeing Yang Ling remain silent, he sneered, “I thought you looked somewhat human just now, but it turns out you’re still that same coward.”

“For Yuwei’s sake, I won’t haggle with you. Move aside, this Young Master wants to tour the garden!”

But before his voice could fade, a crisp sound rang out from the garden path.

Pa!

With a single slap, Tian Zhaoyan was knocked to the ground by Yang Ling on the spot.

Silence. A suffocating silence.

Both Fang Yuwei and Tian Zhaoyan, who was clutching his cheek on the ground, were stunned.

Yang Ling spoke indifferently, “My apologies. A mosquito was buzzing in my ear just now. I couldn’t hold back and took a swing. Young Master Tian, I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

The indifferent expression, the calm tone, and that condescending gaze, it was as if in Yang Ling’s eyes, Tian Zhaoyan really was nothing more than a mosquito.

“You dare hit me!”

Tian Zhaoyan snapped back to reality and roared, “Where are the bodyguards?! Where the hell did they die to? Get out here…”

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Ling swung a backhand slap across his face.

Pa!

Another crisp sound echoed. One of Tian Zhaoyan’s teeth was knocked flying, and his whole body was whipped to the ground again. Half of his face swelled up high.

Yang Ling looked down at him and sneered, “Summer mosquitoes are truly clamorous. If it dares to buzz again, I’ll have to shut it up completely.”

A threat. A blatant, brazen threat!

Tian Zhaoyan was slapped into a daze. Fang Yuwei covered her mouth with her small hand, her large eyes wide with disbelief.

At this moment, Tian Zhaoyan’s two bodyguards in black suits finally rushed over. One supported his young master, while the other, a tall and burly man, threw a punch directly at Yang Ling!

“You want to fight?”

Yang Ling sneered. He still had two pebbles left in his hand from playing earlier. A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he launched a double-tap!

“Ding, Throwing Mastery skill activating. Current hit rate: 100%.”

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled thuds. One pebble smashed into the bodyguard’s forehead, breaking his sunglasses in half on the spot. The other pebble struck the bodyguard directly on the knee!

His legs went soft. The bodyguard in black stumbled, staggering as he lunged toward Yang Ling.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Ling took a step forward and hammered a fist directly into the bodyguard’s face!

Although his Strength was only 10 points, that was still within the normal range. With this punch, the bodyguard saw stars, flopped to the ground with a thud, and howled in pain.

His 11 points of Agility made Yang Ling’s movement speed faster than before. Following the principle of “kick him while he’s down,” he planted another kick right into the man’s lower abdomen.

After this three-hit combo, the bodyguard collapsed to the ground with a thud, completely losing his combat capability.

NOTES

Auxiliary police officer: As noted previously, a support role in the police force, considered lower status than a full civil servant police officer.
