Yue Zhao’s leg is the most serious injury on his body, he was cut with a deep hole, and a bone was broken, although it is not important. However, for a “little master” like him who has been cared for since childhood, it is obviously more psychologically stimulating.
Since he was rescued, he has been in a daze, and has nightmares every night. He is a fresh and tender person. He has lost weight in just a few days. There are only a pair of eyes on his beautiful face. At this moment, his face is as pale as paper. Apparently caught up in the horrific memories of that night again.
Qu Cheng sat on the side without speaking, took out a cigarette from his pocket, didn’t light it and put it in his mouth, picked up an orange for Yue Zhao, “Eat something, don’t be afraid, this is the territory of the QingLong Gang, that gang people don’t dare to do anything. If you are in better health, we can talk about that night.”
Yue Zhao closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes kept shaking, “Can you not mention that day… I think about it now. I’m still very scared.”
Qu Cheng sighed, knowing that he had this temper since he was a child, “Yue Zhao, you are Brother Long’s younger brother, the only relative of the man who single-handedly created a gang with a knife, I know you must be frightened, but some things are useless to escape, why can’t you learn from your brother?”
“My brother can protect me desperately, and entrusted me to you before he died, but Are you there yet?”
Yue Zhao’s eyes were red, his pale lips were tightly pressed, and he stared at Qu Cheng for a moment, “You are only interested in falling in love with others, how can you still care about me?”
Qu Cheng rubbed his forehead and stood up, “OK, Yue Zhao, you’re not in a good state today, we don’t need to talk about it any more, take care of your injury, don’t think about it, I’ll see you next time.”
Yue Zhao clutched the sheets. With a face of unwillingness, his tall and thin body stood under the fluffy quilt, looking a little pitiful, “Xu Cinian has no injuries at all, seeing that Ah Qiang and I were dying, he wanted to turn around and leave, although he saved me. I, I’m very grateful, but I’m so hurt, you came to see me once today, and spent the rest of the time with Xu Cinian, do you have any conscience?”
“I treat you as a relative, Brother Cheng, if today I didn’t asked to see you, are you still planning to accompany Xu Cinian!?”
“Shut up, Yue Zhao, you are too self-willed!”
Qu Cheng said in a low voice, his face was very ugly, he didn’t need it, and he didn’t want to put Xu Cinian’s physical condition explained to anyone, “Whether his body is injured or not has nothing to do with who I see, he has no obligation to save you, and even nearly lost his life for this, you ask with conscience. Ask yourself, are you qualified to say this?”
“Am I willful?” Yue Zhao gave a wry smile and slammed the bed to sit up, “I know you like him, so I deserve to be left behind, I admit it, I shouldn’t be compared with the savior, I also know this, but if you didn’t ignore me and let the traitors in the gang kill me like this, would I need to lie in the hospital now?”
His words were like bayonets, the same poked into Qu Cheng’s heart, causing his face to sink in an instant. Yes, if he hadn’t done well enough, Xu Cinian would not have been involved, let alone Yue Zhao’s conspiracy, or even the loss of a brother’s life.
“Yes, it is my responsibility for you to be plotted. I apologize to you for this, and I promise that there will be no next time. Otherwise, I will have no face to see Brother Long, but you are a traitor on the left and a traitor on the right. Who are you talking about? You have to give me a convincing reason, right?”
Yue Zhao’s expression softened a little, he took a deep breath, and after a while he choked out a sentence, “I don’t know, if I knew, I wouldn’t be so careless.”
Qu Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle, “You can’t even give a reason, don’t you think it’s funny to expect me to believe that there are traitors in the gang?”
“I’m not joking, it’s true! I heard from the Kun Gang people, you can ask Ah Qiang if you don’t believe me!” Yue Zhao scratched his hair vigorously, remembering the bloody memories of that night, and shivered again involuntarily.
“Ah Qiang, he’s already dead.”
“What… what?” Yue Zhao suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he didn’t come back to his senses for a long time.
“I said that Ah Qiang is dead. Now only you know what happened that night. If you don’t tell the truth, no one can guarantee that he will be hunted down again next time.
“The lines on the top were tight, Yue Zhao opened his mouth, a tear fell on the sheet without warning, and covered half of his face with one hand.
“I knew earlier… I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t let him go out with me.”
Qu Cheng brought him a tissue, he wiped his face, and finally restrained his fear and slowly fell into memory.
“That day, I was going to go out to buy a late-night snack, because I just came back and was not familiar with this place at all, so Ah Qiang said to accompany me out. It was very late at that time, and I didn’t have a car, so I borrowed one from the gang. I was thinking about going back quickly, but who would have thought that dozens of people would block me and Ah Qiang on the road, and they could not help knocking both of us unconscious.”
“When I woke up, I was already tied to that small building. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary robbery, and I thought it would be fine to give them some money, but who would have thought that I could hear these people say that they belonged to the Kun Gang through a door. What did the spy report say that I am Brother Long’s younger brother, as long as they kidnap me, the QingLong Gang will become a mess, and then they will let their undercover agents stir up trouble and trick you into saving me, just killing two birds with one stone, completely breaking the QingLong lifeblood of the gang.”
“You heard that person say that they are their spies in the QingLong Gang? At that time, you and Ah Qiang were only separated from them by a wall, so why are you so sure it wasn’t intended to tell you?” Qu Cheng asked with a frown.
Yue Zhao laughed at himself, “Do you really think I’m stupid? Believe what others say, and don’t doubt at all”
Apart from you and a few cronies, few people in the gang know that I have come to S City. During this period of time, I have been staying in a hotel, and I am no different from ordinary people. The QingLong Gang is linked together, not to mention, only I, Ah Qiang, and a few brothers who helped to borrow the car knew about going out to buy supper that day. If it wasn’t for the ghost who leaked my whereabouts, how would they know that I borrowed it? Which car, and then ambushing precisely where I am going to wait for the rabbit?”
Qu Cheng raised his eyebrows and fell into contemplation. The cigarette was turning at his fingertips, as fast as his active cranial nerves at the moment.
“How many people knew that you borrowed the car that day?”
Yue Zhao shook his head, “I don’t know, Ah Qiang helped me to do all of this, I don’t know anything, I’ll just call the car as soon as I borrow it. If you drive away, how can you doubt this. But I remember that there seems to be a green dragon logo on the car. It should be a car shared by the gang, not private.”
Qu Cheng narrowed his eyes, revealing a sharp edge, there is no expression in his face, but a wave has been set off in his heart.
If it can be determined that the car belongs to a gang, then to borrow it, it must be signed by the elder brother in the area to get it. The procedures in the middle are very troublesome and cannot be done in a short time. But obviously, listening to Yue Zhao’s tone, it was not difficult to borrow the car that night, indicating that someone with more power must have helped him.
In the QingLong Gang, apart from himself and Xu Cinian, the people with such power can be counted on one hand, including Ah Si.
Thinking of this possibility, Qu Cheng’s eyes turned completely cold. If Ah Qiang was still alive, everything would be easy to solve, but there was no proof in death.
""
Taking a breath, he stood up without changing his face, “OK, I understand, leave this matter to me, you don’t need to think too much, think about your recovery, I still have something to do, I’ll see you next time.”
Yue Zhao Seeing that he turned around without any nostalgia, he grabbed his arm in a hurry, “Brother Cheng, will you still come to see me? I didn’t lie to you, there are definitely traitors in the gang, they didn’t kill me this time, the next time the target may be you, you must be careful.”
Qu Cheng turned around and was about to say something, but suddenly saw a pile of bruises and purple wounds on the exposed arm of Yue Zhao. The wounds were covered with old wounds, taking advantage of his pale complexion to look hideous.
“How did you get that?”
Yue Zhao was stunned for a moment, realizing that his arms were exposed, he hurriedly pulled down his sleeves to cover them, and shook his head, “The injuries I suffered when they kidnapped me are not as serious as the injuries on my legs, so they won’t get in the way.
“Would a person have so much patience to repeatedly run a knife on a non-lethal spot like the inside of the elbow?
Qu Cheng frowned in his heart, but after seeing Yue Zhao’s injured pale face, he didn’t say anything more, nodded and turned to leave the ward.
Leaving Yue Zhao alone, staring at the back of his departure from a distance, he unconsciously clenched his palms.
***
The old house of the Xu family.
He was punished by kneeling for the fifteenth day.
Awei pushed the door in with the leftovers, Xu Xinnian knelt on the spot, motionless, like a walking corpse, not responding at all to the opened door behind him.
A Yong, who was next to him, glanced in and sneered, “This guy has been honest in recent days. When he opened the door, he ran out like a mad dog. He wanted to turn into a fly and get out through the crack of the door. Now the door is open. He didn’t respond anymore, it seems that he really knew he was afraid.”
“No, just look at what kind of storms his half-dead virtue can cause, I want to say that Big Brother Xu’s move is really amazing, if I get caught If you are caught and locked in a small dark room, if you can’t do anything except kneel and kowtow to the dead, you might as well commit suicide, and you will not be tortured alive.”
“Look at his pustular virtue, give him all the knives. He don’t think he dared to commit suicide, but he knelt down for a few days, and now I can’t scold him and beat him, he’s not a fucking man.”
Ah Wei laughed, walked in with his food and kicked Xu Xinnian, “Hey, dead dog, it’s time to eat.”
Xu Xinnian was kicked to the ground, his face was bloodless, and he was thin and shriveled into a skeleton.
“Don’t be a motherfucker, just kneel quickly. If you don’t kneel, you won’t want to eat.”
“I…I kneel…I’ll kneel…don’t hit me…” Xu Xinnian got up in a panic and knelt again. On the ground, shivering in horror, “Don’t hit me…don’t hit me…”
Ah Wei and A Yong looked at each other and sneered, then kicked him over again, Xu Xinnian hurriedly knelt down again, and then was kicked down again, the bodyguards seemed to be playing a game, making Xu Xinnian’s life worse than death , and finally fell on his knees on the ground, “Let me go… I will kneel well…”
“He’s a fucking dead dog. You are not as good as a beast, and you are only worthy of being a dog. Say, are you? Dead dog? To be honest, I’ll give you food today.”
With one foot on Xu Xinnian’s head, he had given up all his struggles and nodded mechanically, “I’m a dead dog… I’m not as good as a beast… Give me food… I beg you…”
He would resist fiercely in the first few days, and the more bodyguards saw him, the more troublesome they wanted to fix him, but It’s that now he’s obedient and lowly, he’s not as good as a dog, and they have lost interest in tossing him, turning over his rice bowls, all the meals are on the ground, and sneeringly said, “Since you admit that you are a dog. You probably won’t be able to use your rice bowl, just lick it like a dead dog.”
The two of them left with a big laugh and slammed the door.
Xu Xinnian was lying on the ground, his dull gaze slowly dissipated from his eyes, turning into overwhelming hatred and gruesome resentment. He was motionless, on all fours, his hair and face were soaked by the vegetable soup spreading on the floor, and the food was glowing. A faint sour taste, he knew exactly what it was like to eat it.
He slowly got up and wiped the vegetable soup off his face. His fingertips pulled out fresh blood on the ground, mixed with the vegetable soup exuding a faint bloody smell, biting his lip, he used his fingers to push the rice into his mouth little by little. With blood-red eyes, looked at the portrait of Mr. Xu opposite, showing a stern smile.
He will not admit defeat, absolutely not!
Eating is just to survive, he will definitely escape from here, kill Xu Cinian with his own hands, and let him have a taste of life is worse than death!
After lunch, the bodyguards guarding the Xu family’s old house were taking a break from their busy schedules and chatting together.
Across the door is the place where Xu Xinnian was being held. The voices of several people were so loud that they could be heard almost across the room.
“Hey, have you all seen that precious son in Brother Cheng’s house?”
“Which precious son is that little guy called Wowo? Isn’t he the son of Big Brother Xu?”
But Brother Cheng loves this baby bump, but it’s no less than Brother Xu’s own father. When I was working shifts a few days ago, I went to the kindergarten to pick up my daughter from class. I saw Brother Cheng pick up that baby bump in person several times. This treatment You can’t even do it with your own father, right?”
This sentence caused the people around him to be surprised, “Brother Cheng is so busy every day to pick up the little guy in person? I thought he and Brother Xu would directly send their children to the boarding nobles because of their current worth. What about the kindergarten. What are you saying is true or not, is it reliable?”
“Hey, what can I brag about this? It’s the peace kindergarten in the east of the city. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see it for yourself. I’ve seen it several times. I guess I don’t have time to experience it myself.”
“What happened to the gang?” someone asked quietly, “I see that the staff has been mobilized recently, and it feels like something has happened.”
At this time, someone looked around vigilantly. Look, he lowered his voice and said, “Last time I accidentally heard a call from the eldest brother in the area. I heard that there are traitors in our gang.”
“Shh!” This one is still closed, be careful when you talk, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?”
A Yong sneered and glanced in through the crack of the door, Xu Xinnian was kneeling weakly on the ground, half-dead, as quiet as if not even breathing.
“Have you seen it? Now that he is virtuous, what can he do when he hears it? Anyway, he has become a dead dog raised by Brother Xu. With a few of our brothers watching, nothing will happen.”
Everyone knew about Xu Xinnian has become a walking corpse, and he understands that if he can’t make waves, there is nothing to fear, and he continues to chat without scruples.
At this time, Ah Wei’s phone rang, and after he went out to answer, he interrupted the conversation of a group of people when he came back, “Okay, don’t be rude for now, just now I received an order from the fourth brother, the brother wants us to go back to the meeting together, anyway, there won’t be any big thing here for a while, just me and A Yong stay here, the others will go back to the gang first.”
