Power and Wealth
Chapter 1739 – I Give up
Too fast!
Everyone hasn’t even reacted yet!
Dong Xuebing was already standing there, popping off the first small firework. This kind of thing isn’t even considered a firework; in the Beijing dialect, it’s called a “leaping monkey,” not quite at the level of traditional fireworks. But this thing, if it explodes, is no joke. No one can handle it. It’s all gunpowder. Even if it doesn’t explode, having it hit your hand is terrifying. This thing can fly out, fly so high and fast, that’s also the power of explosives, so when Dong Xuebing suddenly appeared in front of Senior Xie and the others like teleportation, blocking the way for the small firework and then raised his hand to slap the firework to the sky, everyone felt dumbfounded.
How is this possible?
Such fast reflexes?
How fast is that small firework? It’s almost invisible to the naked eye as it flies over. Dong Xuebing managed to swat something away with his bare hands.
Even the security guards were stunned!
Damn it! Are you even human??
Forget about being an organizational cadre; even the security guards who trained year-round wouldn’t be able to do what Dong Xuebing just did. In their view, this was an incredible feat, too miraculous. Can humans react this fast? Impossible, right? They thought Dong Xuebing might have just gotten lucky with that slap rather than genuinely reacting that quickly!
However, what happened next left them dumbfounded once again!
The second small firework came out!
Closely followed by the third, fired rapidly!
While Xie Hao and the others were shouting while the security guards were running closer and closer, Dong Xuebing remained calm, making his move again. Perhaps this time, he even moved before the small firework flew out. He slapped towards an empty spot, and then, right after, the second small firework arrived, landing precisely at that spot. Dong Xuebing slapped it away with a bang, sending it flying diagonally into the air, bursting into a brilliant color. Then came the third bang. Dong Xuebing seemed to have shaken his arm and swatted the third small firework with a sizzle on his elbow, sending it flying out at an angle and exploding in mid-air!
In just a few seconds, Xie Guoyue had already pulled Senior Xie out of the way.
Others nearby had already escaped the range covered by the small fireworks due to Dong Xuebing’s slight delay. The security guards didn’t rush over because they lacked the skills Dong Xuebing displayed. Even if they went over, they could help block Senior Xie with their back at most. They couldn’t use their bare hands to swat away the tiny fireworks. They weren’t that amazing, so they didn’t go over again.
“Xiao Dong!”
“Brother-in-law! Come out quickly!”
Xie Jing shouted, worried that Dong Xuebing might get into trouble. If something went wrong and the fireworks exploded, that would… really could cause fatalities.
Everyone was very worried.
Only Dong Xuebing didn’t care at all. He looked back and saw the villa’s glass. This thing was pretty expensive. It wasn’t good to break it during the Lunar New Year. “Break and bring safety” wasn’t something you could say here. So, he didn’t care about it, and didn’t even hear what they said. He watched as the fourth small firework flew out with a swoosh, and Dong Xuebing casually slapped his palm again, raising it higher, sweeping it near his head, very close to his cheek. Everyone looked at it with a heart-pounding feeling, but Dong Xuebing didn’t change his face. With a snap, he slapped the fourth small firework away, and what’s more, he took big steps forward!
The fifth one is here!
It came shooting over in less than a second!
The speed was too fast, and it was nighttime, so you couldn’t even see with your eyes! But Dong Xuebing seemed to know exactly where the small firework would land. With a downward slap of his hand, the firework landed precisely on the ground. Dong Xuebing continued walking forward, his leather shoes stepping on it perfectly. The small firework exploded with a thud but didn’t cause any damage. Dong Xuebing moved forward smoothly as if dancing gracefully without any pause!
Just a few steps!
Dong Xuebing had already walked in front of the out-of-control fireworks. He bent down, squeezed, grabbed the bottom of the firework, and just as it was about to stand upright, the firework launched its sixth round. This time, Dong Xuebing didn’t use his hand; he adjusted the angle of the firework directly, aimed it correctly, and swoosh, the already flying small firework bullet rushed towards Dong Xuebing’s face. Dong Xuebing’s reaction stunned the surrounding security guards. As for the others who weren’t stunned, they couldn’t even see clearly!
Too close!
It flew almost right in front of their eyes!
It was almost half a meter away!
But Dong Xuebing dodged it very easily and leisurely tilted his head slightly. The small firework bullet brushed against Dong Xuebing’s cheek and flew up into the sky as if yawning effortlessly. Then, he lifted his head and watched the small fireworks explode in the air.
The seventh!
The eighth!
Dong Xuebing adjusted the subsequent small fireworks that came out, not needing to dodge anymore.
In less than a moment, all the fireworks had released their “ammunition,” and there was no more sound.
Dong Xuebing threw the empty shells on the ground, dusted off the dirt on his body, glanced at his shoes, and thankfully, nothing happened. Then he turned to ask the others, “Is everyone okay?”
Hou Ming was dumbfounded, “Are you okay?”
“Me? What could happen to me?” Dong Xuebing said naturally.
Xie Jing: “…”
Xie Guoyue: “…”
Everyone stared at Dong Xuebing speechlessly.
Only Xie Hao blindly admired Dong Xuebing, laughing heartily, “Who is my brother-in-law? How could he have any problems? Are you kidding me!”
Senior Xie smiled.
Xie Ran smiled wryly and gave Dong Xuebing a thumbs-up.
Han Jing, Xia Yanzhen, and a few elders hurried over to inspect the situation. When they saw that Dong Xuebing was unharmed, they finally relaxed.
“You scared me just now!”
“You’re too reckless! Don’t take such risks in the future!”
“That was explosives, gunpowder! Did you dare to charge up like that? What if something happened?”
Several elders criticized him a bit. Everyone was terrified. There was no way around it. That scene was too intense.
But Dong Xuebing didn’t take it seriously, “Mom, auntie, second auntie, it’s fine. It’s just a ‘leaping monkey.’ What’s the big deal? Bullets can’t hit me, missiles can’t get me, and I can’t handle a small firecracker? Isn’t that embarrassing!”
The security guards, upon hearing this, were completely in awe!
