Chapter 111 - Time for action

The deal Crazy Nu signed with each other's fairly simple, as long as Crazy Nu gives the meat to right time everyday nothing will happen. As long as he kept sending high-quality meats to his restaurant and he got no complaints, then Wang Ming would even pay Crazy Nu more money after a timeframe of 1 year, which would be the trial period.

Of course, in a 1500 pound deliver it's bound to be some mishaps, so it's acceptable that 10% is not up to standard as long as it's replaced within two hours.

After clearing up all the finer details, Wang Ming gave Crazy Nu Fu Jinhai's number in case he needed something, he didn't need to give Crazy Nu the restaurants address as it's in the contract and the man had been so fascinated by his restaurant he had memorized the address vowing to go there and eat sometimes, after hearing about it in the news all the time.

Wang Ming took a deep breath after walking out of the store, everything's finished now, he would only need to take care of Brother Hou. Then everything would be better. He wouldn't need to look behind his shoulder every time he sees a thug on the streets.

The clock was only at 2pm, still a while until the ambush would take place, so Wang Ming found a cafe to sit down to wait for the time. He could have done other things like try to improve on his cooking skills or maybe even visit Ming Ming or friends. But he didn't feel like it, he only wanted to concentrate on what was coming up ahead.

He might kill someone later today, even though he had killed at two separate occasions already, he couldn't escape the guilt. Even though they're bad people, who is he to take their life away? Who gave him the right to be decide who lives and who dies?

He felt conflicted but, then if he doesn't kill them would they let him go? If he hadn't killed at the warehouse and at his restaurant, the person who would have been dead was him.

Even though he knows it's the truth, he doesn't want to accept it. It's a human life.

"It's a human life! Stop Husband!"

Wang Ming had been sitting in his cafe chair for a few hours now, thinking contemplating even though he tried to plan for later, but the only thing he could really think about is Brother Hou's face after he shoots him right in the c.h.e.s.t it terrified him.

The 5 cups of coffee he had drunk in a few hours didn't help his anxiety either it just fueled the beast. But that ended when he heard a woman shout.

Looking up, he saw two persons, a man and a woman it seemed like they were arguing about to keep their baby or not. The woman's stomach looked big, like she had been pregnant for at least 4-5 months could even be longer.

Wang Ming hadn't listened to their conversation, but seeing the husband slapping his wife hard across the face, Wang Ming knew he had to stop this. Even though he didn't want to be nosy who in the world slaps his own wife, even worse, his pregnant wife.

The wife fell right down to the floor, which made a loud sound attracting the attention of everyone else in the cafe. There weren't many people in the cafe at the moment, only 10 people, but it didn't seem anyone wanted to help the woman.

Wang Ming wanted to see first if the husband was going to help the woman up and apologize to her, but he turned his back to his wife and went to order coffee, which made Wang Ming's blood boil. What a bastard, he thought.

Running to the woman to help her up, Wang Ming realized the woman is someone he hadn't seen in years.

"Cai Xue? Is it you?"

Since Wang Ming had only seen them both from the side earlier and his attention was on her stomach, he hadn't realized the person who got abused were none other than his old crush.

Wang Ming had met her 5 years ago when he was still working at Weng Ping's restaurant, Cai Xue was a new waitress his father had hired. Even though she was 10 years older than him 28, Cai Xue had been the funniest and smartest person Wang Ming had ever talked to, not that he had socialized with many people, since most of the time he would be working.

But she only worked there for two years before Wang Ming could even tell her about his feelings. Seeing her now being married to another man made his heart itch. But then he now also has people he feel more for than what he felt for Cai Xue before.

Though what shocked him was to see her in this state, after she quit her job he never saw her again. But she had talked about her dreams, how she wanted to go to college and get a degree, she never wanted to get married or get a kid.

"Wang Ming? Is it really you? What happened to you?! How are you so, so handsome?"

The comment made Wang Ming laugh. He didn't think after three years that would be the first comment he got from her. He felt so nostalgic meeting Cai Xue again. He suddenly remembered how she would always make him laugh and feel better, when he was at his lowest, threatening to break from all the pressure his father put on him.

"It's me."

Wang Ming then helped Cai Xue up. He examined the damage on her face, but felt surprised to see that she barely had any damage on her face. If he hadn't known Cai Xue, he would have thought that they were scammers trying to scam him, like the ones back in the bar tried, when he first met Mai Cheng.

But then he felt someone touch his shoulder and shout.

"Hey you! If you don't want me to break your arms, legs and report you to the police, then get your filthy hands off my wife!"

Wang Ming felt déjà vu when he heard what the man said and his voice. It sounded so familiar there's no way it could be him, right?

Brushing off the hand on his shoulder, Wang Ming supported Cai Xue up before turning around to see none other than Mai Cheng(1). Seeing him confused Wang Ming wasn't he just a brat, why would he be together with Cai Xue?

"Big Big Brother Ming?! What are you doing here, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm sorry!"

Wang Ming felt it was funny how different Mai Cheng's reaction is this time meeting him than last time, but this also meant that he had learned. Though it seemed like Mai Cheng still needed to learn, and he didn't mind teaching him another lesson. Knocking the man on his head, Wang Ming shouted.

"Why are you apologizing to me? Have you done anything to me? What about your wife? You slapped her in the face, then didn't bother to even help her. Is that how you treat your wife?!"

But luckily Wang Ming didn't even care that he disrespected him, but only cared about he treats his wife.

"But, isn't woman like clothing? If you're bored with them, you just replace them?"

When Mai Cheng finished his sentence not only did all the women in the cafe gasp but even Wang Ming looked at him with an angry look. Had he said anything wrong?

"Who taught you that?"

"When I was young, I asked my uncle's friends and underlings why he always changes girlfriends that's what they told me."

When Wang Ming heard what he said, he couldn't help but put his hand over his face. He had never heard something so idiotic before.

Cai Xue's face was all ashen, Wang Ming could see her lips tremble and her eyes reddening. Even though he didn't like Cai Xue anymore, he still felt thankful for what she had done for him.

"Mai Cheng, let me tell you something."

When Mai Cheng came closer to him, Wang Ming knocked him on the head, this time harder. Even though Wang Ming couldn't decide on how Mai Cheng wanted to live his life, but the way he treated Cai Xue clearly hurt her, which Wang Ming figured that Mai Cheng didn't even know.

"Mai Cheng, let me tell you something again."

This time, Mai Cheng felt cautious, but even if Wang Ming told him to break his own arm, he still had to do it. This time he tried to shield his head but Wang Ming's hand never came, instead Mai Cheng felt Wang Ming's arm pull his head. He then heard Wang Ming whisper.

"Mai Cheng, do you love Cai Xue? Just nod or shake your head."

Wang Ming didn't want Cai Xue or any other to eavesdrop into their conversation. So he got Mai Cheng to nod or shake his head.

Seeing him nod his head, Wang Ming relaxed, if he loves Cai Xue, Wang Ming could solve this peacefully but if he didn't Wang Ming would get him to break up at that moment, it would be heartbreaking for Cai Xue but it's better for her to feel the pain now and be over with it than prolonging the pain.

"Now do you know that, Cai Xue worked with me a few years back not only this but I liked her?"

Mai Cheng shook his head. But now he felt scared. Did Wang Ming want to deal with him because he's together with Cai Xue?

"I'm telling you this not to scare you, but for you to know that she's affiliated with me, she's like a sister to me. Now since you love her, why do you treat her like that? Do you want her to leave you? Do you like being treated like shit? If you don't, then why do you think she likes, you treating her like that, are you stupid?"

Before Mai Cheng could nod or shake his head, Wang Ming kept talking.

"What if one day she has enough of your abuse and takes your child with her and gets another man, a man who treats her better? Would you be able to live with someone that abuses and torments her every day? That would slap her in public just like you did? Now I'll give you two choices: either apologize to her or walk out of this cafe and never see her ever again."

Wang Ming had been right, Mai Cheng definitely is teachable, he's only had a rough start in life mingling with the wrong people

After a few minutes of hugging, kissing and sweet talking, the cafe owner had to interrupt the couple as they were disturbing the rest of the customers. Some kids had even stopped to watch the couple kissing, which the parents did not appreciate.

Wang Ming expected Mai Cheng to flip out on the owner, but he apologized in a meek voice and sat down at the table next to Wang Ming.

Both Cai Xue and Mai Cheng both thanked Wang Ming as soon as they sat down.

Cai Xue didn't know what Wang Ming had said to Mai Cheng, but he had saved their relationship, he had turned Mai Cheng back to how he was the first day they met. The sweet and charming Mai Cheng, she couldn't thank Wang Ming enough.

Wang Ming and the couple talked for a while. They kept apologizing and thanking him for what he had done, so much that he got annoyed. But having them there made the time go faster. He hadn't even realized that the clock had already passed 8pm.

But he then got the message he had been waiting and dreaded for. The address to Brother Hou's house. Wang Ming bid the couple farewell and made his way to the destination, touching the pistol which was still on his back, with a sigh Wang Ming said to himself.

"Time for action."
