Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Those who believed just in quantity and underestimated their opponent, definitely got a good beating. Punches and kicks flew like raining cats and dogs. She did not need any weapons to defeat them. If all of them combined together, they were still weaker than her adoptive dad.

Her adoptive dad had trained her army style. He himself was not a part of military but he had so many connections that he personally got trainers for her. Not only that, don't know where her father's strength came from, she had never been able to defeat him in a combat. Even her trainers from the military respected him. No wonder her dad seemed like an immortal to her. These guys were not even one percent of what her dad was in terms of fighting skills.

These guys definitely had not undergone any martial arts training. They probably just thought it would be easier to bully a weak girl. Just like that girl, who was sold to a devil. Just the thought of that pretty girl reduced to what she saw in that photo set her heart ablaze. How dare these stupid pigs do that to her!

One of the guys could not see his brothers get beaten up and suffer humiliation. He instigated a few of them to bring steel rods. One poor girl's life was not important after all. No one would even ask about where she went. Yu Tian, whose favor this wicked girl had gotten, would also forget her soon enough. Without a master right now, they were gone cases anyway. Another murder would not really harm anyone.

The guys got steel rods and tried to attack Mei Qingyang. Fully alert, she dodged the one nearest to her, kicked him hard in his shin and snatched away the rod in his hands. Another guy ran towards her in the meantime and succeeded in hitting her left hand with the rod. She blocked the attack to her head using her hand but probably broke her wrist bone. Writhing with pain, she still flung the rod with her right hand.

Now that she had access to a weapon and a reasonable excuse to use it, she was unstoppable. She was taking on even four people at a time. From then on, it was just a bloodbath and people were literally flying everywhere.

Some of them had lost teeth and some had cracked a number of bones. Some of the guys had fled seeing how powerful this fragile girl was. By the time she finished dealing with these guys, her hair was disheveled and she looked like a mad woman. Never ever underestimate an angry woman, especially if she knows martial arts.

While the guys were telling her how they succeeded in killing the other girl earlier, a guy was passing by who had witnessed everything. He clicked a picture of the guys threatening Mei Qingyang and circulated it in a few chat groups, with the spicy gossip that Yu Tian had purposefully made Zhang family homeless, for this girl. The news spread like a fire and also reached our three masters.

"Oh, this picture started circulating 30 minutes ago. I wonder how much beating she has taken already. There are so many burly guys, there is no way that petite girl can handle them all.", Su Lang was coolly sipping tea in their private base when he received the picture.

"Are we leaving Yu Tian?" He looked at his best friend who had received the message at the same time.

This girl was an interesting creature, and a source of entertainment in different capacity for all three of them. On the top of that, she was his foster cousin. Plus, his revered uncle had asked him to take care of her. And Yu Tian had dragged them to become TAs of her classes, which was very exhausting in addition to all the stuff they needed to handle on a daily basis. Now that they had already gone that far for her, it was their duty to help her in this sticky situation too, if only

"Why would you even ask something like that? Yes, we are definitely leaving.", Yu Tian tried to act cool as usual but there was a rush in his voice. Why? Why did this girl make him jump into action so readily?

"Oh, come on! What kind of spell has this girl casted on you both? This is such a common occurrence here. Why would you need to save a peasant girl?" Per his principle, Feng Yue was not going to meddle into these affairs until and unless, he himself was involved. Moreover, he was irked by this girl for some reason. She had definitely not done anything to him yet, but whenever he saw her, he just felt irritated.

"And? Do you want something to happen to her and end up in a situation like four years ago?", Yu Tian reminded him with icy cold gaze.

Feng Yue shuddered at the thought and joined already standing and ready to run Yu Tian and Su Lang. Luckily, their private base was just 5 minutes' walk away from the place Mei Qingyang was being ambushed.

Yu Tian's brisk walking was surprising all his men. Su Lang and Feng Yue were finding it really funny but they could only keep up with him. *Yu Tian, oh Yu Tian. Why are you falling for this girl with whom you might not have a future at all? The more you help her, the more trouble she gets in. Don't you realize she is in this predicament right now because of you?*

But who were they to tell the young master what was appropriate and what was not? Once he had made up his mind, even he could not stop himself. They reached the place swiftly. It had been exact thirty-seven minutes since the picture was clicked and circulated.

When the three guys reached there with their entourage, they found the burliest guy of them on the ground, face up and a dainty girl with her right foot on a certain organ of the guy. She was stepping on it like she was smashing a bug. Ouch! The party of the guys was feeling his pain already. Many of them unconsciously covered their part, wincing in pain just by looking at this guy.

"Hey Qingyang, you will kill him. Let him go!", Yu Tian yelled from far away. He had come here with the expectation of having to save her and take her to hospital. But she took down around 20 people by herself! That was just amazing. He needed to recruit her to his martial arts team.

"Tell me who is behind all this! You can't be on your own, tell me right now. Who is responsible for her death?" Mei Qingyang had realized that the situation did not seem as simple as she had initially thought. Zhangs were already homeless, there was nothing that they would get by doing this. Moreover, they would be afraid for their lives after the whole debacle, so they would not really want to get into another fight like this, nor would they have any resources to do so.

Qingyang did not even lift her head to see Yu Tian. She did not seem to be aware of her surroundings anymore. Yu Tian walked slowly and carefully towards her, as if approaching an angry volatile cat. He went behind her back, circled his arms around her waist and took her off of the guy she was beating.

"Come on, let him go. You don't want to murder him and dirty your hands.", Yu Tian whispered into her ear from the back to try to calm her down.

The sudden pull took Mei Qingyang by surprise. Her gaze still fixed on the man on the floor, she heard the familiar voice. Yu Tian! This Yu Tian was the root of everything. If not for him, that girl would not have died.

She started struggling in his embrace. She yelled at him with a hoarse voice, "Don't you dare touch me! Why did they not think when they were killing that girl bit by bit. It's all your fault! All your fault!"
