CH 92

I rushed down with a kitchen knife in hand, to see Li Xin running inside, I rushed forward, she cried out: "Brother ......"

I held her, and she was shaking, I do not know how long she was running for, I was heartbroken and angry. Li Xin fell into tears: "Brother, hurry, someone was chasing me."

I looked behind her, Zhang Xiong saw me, and shouted at me with great joy, then he was kicked down, two people were hitting him, another person came over who was very tall: "You’re nothing, kid."

Li Xin was scared and hid behind me, I laughed, you're fucking wearing school pants and a school shirt, but also dare to try to intimidate people?

Without saying a word, I took a step over, while he raised his hand to punch Zhang Xiong, I raised my kitchen knife directly to his neck, and he froze: "Fuck, where this dumbass, come from?"

It was dark so he wasn’t able to see me and once he did, he was terrified and the two behind him were also shocked, and Zhang Xiong cheered: “Just you wait, Brother Chen, mess them up!”

Needless to say I will mess these idiots up, I kicked the crotch of the idiot in front of me, he immediately covered his eggs and fell to the ground, the remaining two people were frightened, I raised the kitchen knife slowly, but then they started to run off. I dashed two steps forward and tapped one of them on the head with the knife, he froze suddenly, and Zhang Xiong stood up and kicked him.

The other one ran away quickly, and disappeared into the alleyways.

I cursed a few times, the last two were rolling around and crawled away.

I frowned and asked Zhang Xiong what was going on, his face was bitter, half of his cheek was really swollen: "Brother Chen, I was saving your girlfriend ah, I was at the skating rink with friends to discuss some big plans, and then when I left to look outside, your girlfriend was harassed by several people on the street, she was tearing up, and I helped her ah, I ended up getting beaten up, but luckily we ran fast ah ......"

I was shocked and angry, Li Xin cried and grabbed me: "Brother, I'm fine."

I asked why would you go over there? She lowered her head guiltily: “There were a lot of people over there. And some of my coworkers were also there, but we got separated, and I didn’t know I’d be treated like that…”

I checked her body, nothing serious. I couldn’t see her clearly on the street and I was so worried, so I hurriedly took her back home. Zhang Xiong also followed us, but I said thank you, and then closed the door.

He cried outside: "Brother Chen, you must avenge me ah."

I said you should hurry to the hospital, I will take care of this matter tomorrow.

I Took Li Xin into the home, in the light I saw more clearly, and immediately got angry, her cheek was a red mark, and there was a little bruise.

I touched her distressedly, but she hurriedly said she was fine, and was pinched by someone.

It's so bruised after being ‘pinched’, that bastard must have used a lot of force, probably got annoyed after a while.

I was so angry that I wanted to kill, and told Li Xin to tell me in detail what happened. She was worried about me doing something, and kept saying it was an accident, and not to worry about it.

I tried to hold back my anger: "They all came after me, and I must have pissed them off, Zhang Xiong will probably suffer in the future, you will also be remembered by them, so I’ll have to do something!"

Li Xin panicked, I hugged her tightly, she finally said in my arms: "At six o'clock in the afternoon they suddenly came to pester me, I was going to go home, they stopped me, and said I was not allowed to go, and they said they wanted to teach me how to skate, and also took my flyers away, there are a lot of gangsters ah.”

“ I refused their request, but then they became angry, and then Zhang Xiong and his friends came to my rescue, but they could not fight. And since they weren't able to fight them, Zhang Xiong took me to run ......"

I'm about to gnaw my teeth out, it’s her first day, and it looks like the skating rink morons are already harassing her.

I again worriedly touched Li Xin's bruises, her face scrunched up. I frowned.

I hurried to the drugstore to buy some salve for her, admonishing her not to go to the skating rink in the future, she also nodded obediently, very timidly.

I really wanted to be angry, but I didn’t want to bother Li Xin and she was still a bit stunned. I just smiled a little and let her take a shower, and once she was done she carefully looked at my face, and felt relieved, and cheerful too: “Tomorrow I can go and get paid.”

Her eyes were bright, a childlike joy that made my nose sore, I hugged her tightly, she was a little confused, I kissed her hair: "You're amazing."

She was a little embarrassed, the girl who suffered from childhood, deserved more and more love.

That night I worked on my story until midnight before going to bed, I had to work quicker and write something long as soon as possible, otherwise I couldn't guarantee a good home for Li Xin.

I went to see her again before going to bed, and she was already asleep, the air conditioning was on, but just barely. I sighed and touched her feet, but they were not cold.

The next day she got up early to hand out out leaflets again, I did not focus on my story, today I wanted revenge, how dare those mutts harass my sister, and also pinch her face, giving her bruises, I can not fucking stand that!

I went straight to the skating rink with my knife, and as soon as I got downstairs, I was seen by Zhang Xiong, who was still bruised and swollen, but very excited: "Brother Chen, you want revenge, right?"

I said yes, and he snapped his fingers: “Okay that group over there are who you are looking for, they aren’t that strong, you’ve got it. If I had a larger group yesterday, I would have won easily.”

He helped my sister yesterday, so I couldn't say anything to him. I just said I'm going now, to take revenge, you better hide, otherwise they'd hold a grudge against you.

Zhang Xiong waved his hand, very heroic-like: "Brother Chen, you are wrong to say that, we are brothers, we must work together, they hit me, I hit back, otherwise, how else would we be feared in the future?"

I huffed and puffed and said I was just going for my revenge, not to be a gangster. He immediately looked lost, I ignored him and continued walking.

He hurriedly grabbed me again: "Brother Chen, at least bring some more people, there are more than ten of them in a group. Although they are students, they are not easy to deal with."

I said I have a knife, cutting them down was enough. Zhang Xiong shook his head: "Brother Chen, according to my observation, only the older ones will be concerned about knives, because they are afraid that you are also affiliated with someone. Those rookies, although timid, are not afraid of knives, they are only afraid of losing face, so they will not be intimidated by your aura."

These words seem to make sense, would the dozen or so stunned youths beat me to death because they might lose their reputation?

I said then what do you think should be done? Zhang Xiong suddenly got excited: "To deal with these kinds of people, the best way is to crush them in numbers, if we bring a bunch of people, it would certainly scare them."

I said no to a bunch of people ah, Zhang Xiong said he only had five people, why don't we do something smaller?

I frowned, I am anxious for revenge but, get a small following? I said forget it, I'd better go in just stabbing people, recruiting people is too much trouble.

He was anxious: "Development really is our only option. If you go in, stabbing people, they will probably stab you back. No one will back down, and it’ll just be a back and forth fight. The only way to deal with them is to scare them off."

I frowned and asked one more question: "If I want twenty people today, is there a quick way?"

He seems to have thought for long about this, and hesitantly spoke: "You can buy people to fight, but I think it is better to have your own people build their strength as if you bought people to fight, they could just be paid off, and aren’t reliable.”

I pondered for a moment, this seems to be the only way, but it seems to have to borrow money too.

I headed towards the landlord’s place, and Zhang Xiong followed me all the way, and he asked me what my plans were. He was very verbose, selling me various packages for developing in the underworld, like how to recruit people, making friends with bastards, and listening to him was so annoying.

When I got to the landlord's house I told him to wait and stop yakking.

I went upstairs alone and the landlord was hibernating and was very angry when I woke him up. I said I had to borrow some money, he was so angry that his mouth was crooked: "You did not even pay the deposit and you want to borrow money? All my money is in a deposit right now, I can't lend anything out."

I said you are too stingy, at least for a friend. He said there was really no way he could lend anything, he was saving it to marry his wife next year.

I was annoyed, and he pointed upstairs: "Go to your girlfriend, her father came again last night, and he probably gave her a lot of money."

I really don't want to borrow money from Yang Han Lu, she would definitely make all kinds of demands, but I really have no other choice but to settle for it.

I went to Yang Han Lu, and opened her door to enter, she was on the sofa putting on nail polish, her two white legs surprisingly exposed.

I was surprised, and asked are you not cold? She giggled: "Women care more about beauty than coldness, aren't my legs beautiful?"

They are indeed beautiful, but I do not have the time to do this. I asked if I could borrow some money? I can not make ends meet.

She immediately laughed gloatingly and then flirtatiously stretched her feet forward, her white toes still wriggling: "I would consider it if you helped me paint my nails."
