Zhou Guang was terrified and no longer willing to listen to Xin Yi. The incident from seven years ago still haunted his nightmares. The young man had died a horrific death, his body crushed into a pulp by the car, likely only able to be contained in a container, with not even a whole corpse left. All of this stemmed from Zhou Guang's reckless collision. Over the years, he thought he had forgotten about it, but when he got out of the car to check if the man was dead, he saw the young man's body deformed, reduced to a mass of flesh below the chest. Yet, in that moment, the young man opened his eyes and glared at him before taking his last breath. That final gaze filled with hatred, reluctance, sorrow, and resentment often appeared in Zhou Guang's nightmares, causing him to wake up in terror. So for the past seven years, he had never truly forgotten that incident.
However, he lacked the courage to confess and did not want to give up his current happy life. Therefore, when Xin Yi brought up the matter again, he became frightened and anxious. He hurriedly ordered someone to throw Xin Yi out, as far away as possible, believing that only then could he rid himself of the fear in his heart.
As soon as the big men heard Zhou Guang's command, they rushed towards Xin Yi. These men were not gangsters; they were merely Zhou Guang's gambling buddies—idle folks from society who relied on their brute strength. They had no fighting skills; they only knew how to rely on sheer force.
Such people were no match for Xin Yi. The first man was knocked down with a single punch that shattered his nose, causing blood to gush out as he crouched on the ground holding his face. The second was kicked in the stomach by Xin Yi and nearly vomited his last meal, groaning as he also crouched down in pain. The third man, seeing his two companions injured bravely, panicked and grabbed a chair to smash over Xin Yi's head. Since he dared to attack, Xin Yi certainly would not hold back; he seized the man's arm holding the chair and yanked it hard, dislocating it.
Just as Xin Yi was about to deal with the last big man, he suddenly felt something cold pressed against the back of his head and heard a frenzied voice shout, "Don't move! If you move again, I'll shoot you!"
Damn! This time he really messed up. He had faced gunfire before but never expected to be threatened with a gun while fighting a few idle thugs. He had been careless, thinking it would be easy to take care of these men and bring Zhou Guang away. He never anticipated an ambush from behind; this was a rookie mistake.
From the voice, Xin Yi recognized that it was Little Gou who had just tried to hit him with a beer bottle but had returned with a gun. Although Xin Yi did not see the gun directly at that moment, he preferred to believe it was real—who would joke with their life? Moreover, if he were killed because of this situation, it wouldn't be honorable at all.
So Xin Yi obediently stopped moving and stood still. The onlookers who initially found the fight exciting were now frightened when they realized things had turned serious. A gun? That could blow someone's head off! They quickly scattered; after all, if stray bullets flew around and hit someone innocent, that would be unjustified. Besides, escaping now meant avoiding paying for their meals.
Only a few waitstaff from Guang Ge Night Market Flagship Store remained behind anxiously shouting, "Hey! You haven't paid yet! Don't run! If you run away, who will pay?!"
Amidst the chaos of fleeing people, a stunning woman dressed in dark casual wear approached through the crowd. Due to the disorderly scene, no one noticed her.
"Are you going to obey now?!" Little Gou held a makeshift shotgun against Xin Yi's head; his right index finger trembled slightly on the trigger due to excitement as adrenaline surged through him. His muscles were tense; in such moments, people could do anything because they completely lost their rationality and were unaware of any consequences.
But no matter how excited one might be, one shouldn't say such nonsensical things! What do you mean by "obey"? Shouldn't it be about whether you yourself are going to obey? However, Xin Yi couldn't say that; he didn't want to meet Marx so soon after all. After careful consideration and calm thought, Xin Yi replied with one word: "Obey."
"Ha ha ha..." Little Gou laughed heartily; the feeling of stepping on someone was simply too exhilarating! Especially when it was someone much more impressive than himself, that was just a thrill on top of a thrill! However, after laughing, he immediately noticed something was off. What was wrong? The people around him were gone. What the hell! What is going on here? When others were impressive, they attracted attention from all around, but now that it was his turn to shine, all the beautiful girls had run away. Who was he showing off for? Wasn't that just pointless?
Zhou Guang also recognized that the kid pointing a gun at Xin Yi's head was Xiao Gou, who mixed around this area. He initially wanted to advise Xiao Gou not to kill anyone in his territory, but thinking about Xin Yi's purpose for coming to find him, he ultimately decided against it. In this situation, if he could use Xiao Gou's hand to eliminate this troublemaker, it would be a perfect case of using a knife to kill someone.
So Zhou Guang said to Xiao Gou, "Brother Gou, where did you run off to just now? I heard from my staff that someone was causing trouble for you in my place. I rushed over with people, but none of them were a match for this guy. Look at him, beaten up... tsk tsk tsk, Brother Gou is really impressive; you took care of this guy in one go."
Being praised by the usually high-and-mighty Brother Guang made Little Gou feel even more elated. Look at that! This is the benefit of being impressive; even someone who usually respectfully calls Zhou Guang "Brother" is now calling him "Brother Gou." What great honor! And why is that? Isn't it because of the gun in his hand? Once he pulls the trigger, no matter how tough someone is, they can only be finished by him!
"Brother Gou, this guy seems to still be unconvinced. Look at how he's glaring; he looks like he wants to kill," Zhou Guang knew very well that Xiao Gou couldn't see Xin Yi's facial expression from behind him. So he deliberately fanned the flames and said, "What the hell! You dare glare at me! Hurry up and kneel down to Brother Gou and kowtow! Do you think Brother Gou's gun is just for show? Do you think Brother Gou is just a kid playing with a gun?"
"Right! Kneel down and kowtow to me!" Little Gou was worried he hadn't had enough fun yet. Upon hearing Zhou Guang's words, he immediately got inspired. He thought this was a good idea; let’s play along!
Kneeling? Are you kidding? Xin Yi had only ever knelt before his grandfather and parents' spirit tablets in his life; he had never knelt before anyone else. How could this little brat expect him to kneel? Such humiliation was absolutely intolerable for Xin Yi; even if it meant death, he would never kneel to anyone!
"Go ahead and shoot! If you have guts, shoot! Kneeling? Impossible!" Xin Yi was taking a gamble. He wasn't betting on whether Xiao Gou would dare to shoot but rather whether Xiao Gou would hesitate because of his words. His right hand was slowly moving towards his left armpit where his throwing knife pouch was located. As long as he could get out one throwing knife and if Xiao Gou hesitated, there might still be a chance for him to survive.
"What are you doing?!" Zhou Guang noticed Xin Yi's right-hand movement. At that moment, Xin Yi's right hand had already approached his left armpit where the throwing knife pouch was located. Zhou Guang suddenly shouted, "Not good! He has a knife! Brother Gou, shoot!"
No matter how fast Xin Yi's drawing motion was, it couldn't compare to the trigger being pulled by the gun pressed against the back of his head. With a crisp bang echoing through the night sky, Xin Yi felt a warmth on the back of his head as a rush of blood suddenly filled his nostrils.
"Ah!" Behind him, Xiao Gou let out a painful wail as the shotgun fell to the ground with a loud thud. Poor Little Gou clutched his wrist where the bullet had pierced through and hopped away while screaming in agony. His few companions rushed over immediately to support their brave and injured Brother Gou.
After reaching back to touch the back of his head and confirming there wasn't a bullet hole there, Xin Yi finally felt relieved. Damn! If he were older or had weaker heart function, he could have been scared to death by that! Today, if I don't beat you until your own grandmother wouldn't recognize you, I won't call myself Xin Yi! However, I should still thank my lifesaver first.
Xin Yi turned around and saw the stunning beauty, Dingxiang, dressed in dark casual clothes, walking towards him while holding her small white gun. Oh! My goodness! I love you, Dingxiang! How can you make even the act of raising a gun look so captivating? I’m absolutely smitten! If it weren't for your timely shot, I would probably have met my glorious end here today. Should I repay you? Would you accept my devotion?
These were the true feelings in Xin Yi's heart. Really, if Dingxiang truly needed him to devote himself as a form of repayment, he would definitely clean himself up and lie still on the bed, allowing her to do as she pleased.
“Dingjie, you’re here? Just in time!” Xin Yi said excitedly.
“If I hadn’t come, your Lin Xi would have become a widow. So tell me, how will you thank me?” Although Dingxiang joked with Xin Yi, she kept her gun raised, aimed at Zhou Guang and the others.
“Thank you, I must thank you!” After thinking for two minutes, Xin Yi replied seriously, “How about I sing the Two Tigers song for you again?”
Dingxiang couldn’t help but burst out laughing. This guy really had a sense of humor; even at a time like this, he was still in the mood to joke. After laughing, she said, “You should hurry up and do what you need to do. The sound of gunfire will likely attract the police soon.”
“Okay, Dingjie, keep an eye on that bald guy and don’t let him escape. I came here tonight specifically to find him,” Xin Yi said. “As for this guy who dared to point a gun at my head, I’m going to teach him a lesson for the Motherland and the people! Damn it! He scared the cold sweat right out of me!”
