Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 702: Chapter 696: Qin Lang Takes Action

It turned out that after the gangsters came to cause trouble and saw the workers hired by Qin Lei leave, they too departed. However, they didn’t get far before they were blocked.

“Stop.” Qin Lang shouted.

“Who are you?” The ruffians turned around to see a man standing behind them. He had a fair and youthful face devoid of any apparent menace. They wondered why he would want to stop them.

“You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to understand that you are not allowed to bother that family again. Understand?” Qin Lang pointed at the store owned by Qin Lei as he spoke.

“Who do you think you are to meddle in our affairs?” The thugs sneered at Qin Lang’s ostentatious bravado.

Qin Lang wasn’t especially fair-skinned, but he was comparatively lighter than most men, earning him the label of a ‘pretty boy’ – a title he may or may not appreciate.

“Whether I have any authority to step in doesn’t count. If you choose to ignore my words, I will make sure you learn your lesson.” Qin Lang had traced his way here. Upon seeing what was happening, even if these people weren’t Qin Xue’s parents, as a soldier, he couldn’t overlook such situations.

“You, a pretty boy, also want to throw punches?” The gangsters smiled mockingly at Qin Lang.

“If you wish to, I can certainly oblige.” Qin Lang said calmly.

“Pretty boy, I’m telling you, don’t meddle in other people’s business, or you’ll have to face the consequence.” The ruffians’ smiles morphed into scowls as they saw that Qin Lang wasn’t bluffing.

“What a pity, because I’m stepping in today.” Qin Lang loosened his cuff links, rolled up his sleeves and stared at the thugs.

But well, those who can read the room would simply back off, except, there were always individuals who were courting trouble, seeking a challenge.

“Since you’re not heeding advice and insist on meddling in others’ affairs, don’t blame us for teaching you a lesson.” Seeing Qin Lang’s determination, the gangsters circled him, ready to attack.

Yet, soon enough there were sounds of fists hitting and wails of pain.

“Who exactly are you?” The thugs asked Qin Lang, clearly in disbelief over what transpired. They were taken back by Qin Lang’s skills; he had single-handedly overpowered all of them.

“Didn’t I tell you it doesn’t matter who I am? The important thing is you must refrain from harassing that store and its employees. Moreover, you must keep others from giving them trouble. If not, you will face consequences beyond your imagination.” Qin Lang originally planned to hand them over to the local authorities.

However, he had to eventually leave. What if they returned to cause trouble again after he left? Hence, a beating to instill fear in them, paired with a stern warning should make them protective against any future disturbances to Qin Xue’s parents, thereby helping his comrade, Chu Molin.

“Understood. Then what about you?” At this point, the ruffians could see that Qin Lang was far from harmless; he may be a figure they couldn’t afford to offend.

“As for me, that’s none of your concern. Just remember to know your limit or you might land yourself in a place from where no one can save you. I’m letting you off this time, but don’t count on me being this generous if it happens again. Now, could you tell me who’s the mastermind behind all these?” Qin Lang inquired.

“That…” The hooligans hesitated. They feared Li Kun, but they also feared Qin Lang reporting them to the authorities. Now that Qin Lang was pressing them for an answer, they didn’t know how to respond.

“What’s the matter? Too hard to confess? Or is it that the person who ordered you holds such high power that he can control everything?” Qin Lang continued probing as he studied the faces of the troubled gangsters.
