The group suddenly acted as if they had gone mad, rushing toward Qiao En. They surrounded him, kicking and punching relentlessly, cursing at him with venomous words, while the security guards, who stood by as mere background, were stunned. They never expected such a scene to unfold right before their eyes.
"Stop hitting him, you'll kill him," a well-intentioned security guard ran over, trying to rescue Qiao En, but was pushed aside by the furious crowd.
The bloodshot eyes of the attackers made the security guard halt his attempt to stop them, fearing he might end up like Qiao En if he continued to intervene.
Initially, Qiao En trapped in the beating circle could still let out cries of pain, but eventually, they turned into soft whimpers and then no sound at all.
