She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Chapter 357

Qiao Shan watched in horror as the group of people slowly approached, intending to grab Chen Xiangbei, and immediately shielded him behind him.

Seeing this, the thugs started to attack. Not wanting them to get hurt, Qiao Shan took the beating himself, bending over to hold them tightly in his arms.

Fists rained down on his back, and aside from a few muffled groans, he only told them not to come out.

"Brother." Qiao Yi cried. How could these people be so unreasonable?

Chen Xiangbei's blood was about to be ignited. He had seen bad people before, but he had never seen anyone so blatantly bad. Apart from Hu Jie's family, the worst people Chen Xiangbei had ever met were these few people in front of him.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, people started fighting right in front of the Qiao family's house. On what grounds?

And those neighbors who stay indoors, too afraid to come out, are no match for the people in their compound. Their compound may be noisy, but if something really happened, someone would definitely come to help; they wouldn't be allowed to act so arrogantly. This is the Qiao family's territory; who do they think they are?

Chen Xiangbei yelled, wriggled out of Qiao Shan's arms, and rammed headfirst into one of the assailants, knocking him to the ground. "Damn it, a bunch of shameless bastards, who do you think you are? Can't you live anymore? You want people to do bad things with you?"

The thug who had been knocked to the ground scrambled to his feet, furious and humiliated, and shouted, "Hold this squinty-eyed guy down, I'll beat him to death!"

Chen Xiangbei was lifted up by two thugs, who punched him in the stomach. He cried out in pain, "You're not human, you're just as bad as the Japanese devils!"

After being hit several times, Qiao Shan rushed out to help, but was kicked several times by the group.

Qiao Yi rushed over and started yelling, "Don't you have any family? You're doing such a heartless thing, you'll get your comeuppance!"

"Hey, little sister, you look so well-behaved, but you can swear so sweetly." One of the thugs approached Qiao Yi. "Why don't you swear a few more times?"

Qiao Shan stood up and blocked the man's way. "Brother, my sister doesn't know anything. It has nothing to do with her."

The thug looked Qiao Yi up and down several times, and only went back to continue beating Chen Xiangbei after Qiao Yi's face turned pale. Anyway, there would be plenty of time later.

Chen Xiangbei immediately regretted it. Qiao Shan, such a big guy, was really useless. Damn, it hurt too much. Was he really going to beat him to death? The plot of a young man fighting five people at once in the play will never happen in reality. He was just a pitiful little guy. The big guy didn't help him. He only knew how to help his sister. He was clearly about to be beaten to death.

But he still had the strength to shout, "Report it! Go report it! Brother Qiao Shan, go report it! Arrest them all! The one who did the beating will rot in jail! Waaah!"

As they beat him harder and harder, he cried out, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Brothers, grandpas, please let me go." He quickly admitted his mistake, tears streaming down his face.

The thugs burst into loud laughter. "Who did you just say would rot in jail? Who are you insulting?"

Chen Xiangbei sat pitifully on the ground, pleading, "I...I'll spend the rest of my life in jail, please let me go."

One of the thugs stood with his legs spread apart. "I can let you go, but if you want to be a hero, you have to see if you have the ability. It's not too late to realize this now. Crawl between my legs and bark like a dog a few times, and I'll let you go. How about that? Your grandpa is easy to talk to, isn't he?"

The other thugs laughed too, "Our boss is the kindest person out there. He's too young to bully you, so why don't you hurry up and be grateful and crawl away?"

“Ask that coward Qiao Heigou, if being a dog can get rid of us, he’d crawl a hundred times over.”

"I think his sister is quite pretty too, why don't we switch her to him?"

They laughed, which only made the Qiao siblings and Chen Xiangbei seem even more pitiful, like innocent children targeted by bandits.

Qiao Shan: "I promise, brothers, he has nothing to do with this. Please let him go. I'll work for you. I'll do whatever you want me to do. Please have mercy."

Qiao Shan pleaded for him, but the thugs ignored him. They only wanted Qiao Shan to take the blame. If someone with his personality really had to go and run a brothel, their brothel would be finished.

Therefore, even if Qiao Shan agrees to cooperate with them, they will not let Chen Xiangbei go.

Who told this hothead to dare knock his brothers to the ground? They had their pride too.

Seeing that Chen Xiangbei only knew how to cry and didn't move, one of the thugs got impatient and kicked him in the head, saying, "Get up! I'm giving you a chance, so you have to seize it. If my brother goes back on his word later, even if you cry yourself blind, it won't help."

Chen Xiangbei hardened his stance again: "I won't crawl. You're beasts. I won't submit to you."

He had barely finished speaking when he was kicked again. Several people kicked him together, and he crouched down, covering his head, feeling utterly miserable.

Qiao Shan looked at the scene before him. Chen Xiangbei, who had nothing to do with this matter, was inexplicably dragged into it and beaten so badly. The way those people looked at his sister was indescribably lewd. His mind suddenly went blank.

In an instant, Chen Xiangbei felt no pain. He opened his eyes and found that no one was hitting him anymore. Instead, he heard several screams.

He turned his head and saw that the big guy Qiao Shan was holding a rock and starting to hit people.

The thugs initially tried to resist, but Qiao Shan was strong and could beat them up as easily as killing a few chickens. He was like a madman and wouldn't listen to anything they said.

Qiao Yi was also screaming. She was terrified to see her brother acting like a different person, as if he wanted to kill them all. She rushed over to ask him to stop, but it was no use.

Several thugs were bleeding from their heads. Chen Xiangbei watched helplessly as Qiao Shan smashed the stone in his hand into the thugs several times, and then the stone... shattered.

I thought that with everything shattered, Qiao Shan should be able to come to his senses, because he had already started walking back.

The thugs thought so too. They were so embarrassed and upset about being beaten like that that they shouted that Qiao Shan should go to jail and pay compensation, and that they wanted to take revenge on him.

Qiao Shan seemed not to hear them, and they grabbed Qiao Yi. "You're his sister, you have to pay compensation, right? Your brother beat me up like this, and he's going to report it to the police. We're all ready to send him to jail."

This was, of course, a threat casually uttered by the thugs. They wouldn't dare to deal with the police; each of them had done a lot of bad things and couldn't withstand any investigation. In the end, instead of sending Qiao Shan to jail, they would end up doing the people a favor by eliminating a scourge, which would be a net loss.

But Qiao Yi didn't understand any of this. She trembled as she took money out of her pocket, hoping they would let her brother go.

Chen Xiangbei also stepped forward and said, "Brothers..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped several times. Damn it, isn't he human? He won't even let me speak.

The thugs robbed Qiao Yi of her money and were about to say a few more harsh words to save face before going to the hospital, but Qiao Shan came out of the house with a hammer in his left hand and a saw in his right, his face still showing the same expression that he was ready to kill them.

The thugs were nearly scared to death.
