"What nonsense are you spouting, woman!?"

One of the burly men looked completely confused, as if he couldn't understand what Tang Ruoling was saying.

"Shut up!"

Slap—!

Without another word, Tang Ruoling slapped him across the face!

"You brutally beat up a boy, and you're still pretending you don't know anything?!"

"I really don't know!"

The man had been slapped for no reason and now was being falsely accused—he felt nothing but grievance.

"Woman, you'd better release us now if you know what's good for you! Otherwise I'll call our boss over!" another man snarled at her with a vicious glare.

"Call your boss? Fine!"

Slap! Slap—!!

Tang Ruoling slapped him twice more.

"Go ahead and call him! I'd love to see what kind of person your boss is—daring to send people to bully my younger brother!"

She even took out her phone and, in a humiliating gesture, pressed it hard against the man's face, grinding it forcefully.

In her mind, these men in front of her were nothing more than brainless brutes with muscles for brains—low-level thugs!

Even if their so-called boss was a gang leader, in front of the prestigious Tang family, he would just be a slightly bigger thug!

She wanted these people to deeply understand that bullying her younger brother would come at a heavy price!

The burly man, his face being rubbed raw by the phone, shook his head angrily and shouted at Tang Ruoling, "Fine! Then I'll call our boss over!"

Tang Ruoling lifted her chin smugly. "Good! Give me his phone number!"

"Miss, you'd better think this through…"

At that moment, the third man—who hadn't been slapped yet—spoke in a low voice.

"If you let us go now, there's still time. If our boss really comes over…"

Slap! Slap! Slap—!!!

Tang Ruoling immediately gave him three consecutive slaps.

"Enough nonsense! I want to teach your boss a lesson—let's see if he still dares to bully my younger brother!"

The man's face was swollen, and he said speechlessly, "We already told you—we didn't bully anyone! We're here doing security work!"

Slap—!!

"You still dare to lie! Beat him up!!"

By now, Tang Ruoling had no interest in listening to their excuses. The moment she thought of Tang Xianxi covered in injuries, yet not daring to tell Bai Hualian and the others, she was desperate to avenge him!

The martial artists immediately obeyed her order and began raining punches and kicks on the man!

"Ahhh! Stop! Please!"

The man was beaten to the ground, curling up in agony.

His limbs were bound, so there was no way for him to escape!

Seeing this, the other two men were terrified and hurriedly shouted, "Don't—don't hit him!"

"Help! You'll beat him to death!"

Seeing the burly man battered and bruised, Tang Ruoling only felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

She once again shoved her phone toward the panicking man beside her.

"Hurry up! Tell me—what's your boss's phone number?!"

"You… you'll regret this, woman!"

Gritting his teeth, the man recited a string of numbers. Tang Ruoling dialed it and then pressed the phone to his ear.

"Boss! Help! Please come save us!"

Another man also shouted frantically toward the phone, "Boss! A woman suddenly brought a bunch of martial artists, tied us up, and beat the third guy half to death!"

After letting them talk for a bit, Tang Ruoling finally took the phone back to her own ear, speaking smugly.

"You heard that, didn't you?"

"Who are you?"

The voice on the other end sounded male—and surprisingly young.

"I'm a young lady of the Tang family. During this period, you sent people to bully my younger brother, so now I'm returning the favor—eye for an eye!"

"Bullying? What are you talking about?"

"In short, my brother was injured because of your people! I won't let them off so easily!"

Hearing the calm tone from the other end only made Tang Ruoling even angrier.

She pointed at the remaining two burly men and snapped furiously, "Beat them up too!"
