Everyone knows that Zhang Qiu's words are meant to comfort. The newly joined Taolengman saw Zhang Qiu about to undertake such a dangerous task and hurriedly said to Jiang Xue, "Sister Zhang, you should persuade Brother Qiu not to go. It's too dangerous!"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly at Taolengman and said, "I support Zhang Qiu's decision. What we all need to do is manage the club well while Zhang Qiu is in Africa."
Jiang Xue then looked at Zhang Qiu with a smile, and Zhang Qiu gave her a thumbs up, saying, "You're becoming more like Sister Zhang."
Jiang Xue blushed, and Zhang Qiu continued, "As for my trip to Africa, please don't try to persuade me anymore. The mission of the White Tiger is my mission, and it is also the mission of our club. The meaning of life, in my opinion, is that we brothers and sisters come together to protect humanity."
Suddenly presenting a great mission caught everyone off guard; they had not yet recovered from their deep shock. A weight was lifted from Zhang Qiu's heart; as long as the club operated according to his design, even if he was in Africa and not in the country, the club would not deviate from its course. Moreover, with Yang Yu, who understood his style, there would be many interesting suggestions for the club's development.
Just as Zhang Qiu anticipated, the Stone Dagger Gang eventually ran into trouble. At Dahe Hotpot, Zhang Qiu and others ate more than usual. It wasn't until after nine o'clock that all matters were settled and salaries and bonuses were distributed before they finally relaxed and enjoyed their meal. Just as they were eating heartily, the phones of Zhang Qiu, Yang Yu, and Rui Rui rang almost simultaneously.
Seeing Yang Yu and Rui Rui also reaching for their phones, Zhang Qiu felt uneasy. He took out his phone and saw that it was indeed Biao Ge's number.
"Hello, Zhang Qiu? Where are you? Something happened! Hurry back to White Day Fire! We must hold our ground!"
After a loud shout from Abiao, he hung up. Zhang Qiu vaguely heard shouting and chaos on the other end of the line. He looked at Yang Yu and Rui Rui, who had also hung up their phones. Yang Yu said, "Brother Qiu, someone is causing trouble at White Day Fire. The Brothers are fighting back."
Rui Rui added, "Brother Qiu, let's hurry back."
"Let's go back immediately!" Zhang Qiu commanded. Yang Yu, Gao Zhi, Zhao Pingchuan, Wang Zhengxiang, Rui Rui, and Jiang Xue all stood up at once. Taolengman and Tao Ya exchanged glances before closely following Jiang Xue. Since their leader assigned them to Jiang Xue and she had them act as protectors of Butterfly Hall, they had no reason not to protect Sister Zhang.
As Zhang Qiu's group headed out, Yao Yu looked at the steaming hot pot and fell into a dilemma. He was no longer part of Hall Society; should he go or not?
Once outside, Yang Yu led the way on his motorcycle while the others hailed taxis in batches toward White Day Fire. Just as Zhang Qiu was about to close the car door, Yao Yu rushed over and held it open. "Brother Qiu, let me help you."
"Good brother." Zhang Qiu patted Yao Yu on the shoulder to make space inside for him to sit down. "Driver, please take us to Daylight Fire Bar quickly!"
Qiu Wan pulled out a hundred yuan bill and slapped it on the front seat. The driver immediately responded with enthusiasm: "Sure thing! I'll drive fast."
As the taxi drove along the road, the driver noticed groups of students walking by occasionally and said with a smile, "You guys are out for a gathering too?"
Zhang Qiu ignored the taxi driver and directly told Yang Yu, "Contact our people; everyone who can come back should return under the pretense of celebrating the college entrance examination."
"Got it, Brother Qiu! I'll contact them right away." Yang Yu took out his phone to make calls. Zhang Qiu also contacted Zhao Pingchuan, Gao Zhi, and Wang Zhengxiang to have them gather their brothers at White Day Fire.
The driver watched the commanding student through the rearview mirror instinctively closing his mouth and deciding against continuing the conversation.
Zhang Qiu tightly gripped his phone, his eyes fixed on the scene outside the window. The White Day Fire was under siege, and the situation was urgent; he wished he could rush back immediately. Before the college entrance examination, Zhang Qiu had been concerned about affecting his Brothers' exams, but now that they were over, those worries were gone. He planned to gather all the members of Hall Society for tonight's battle night. On this special day, many students chose to stay behind to celebrate after the exams. Even those who had already gone home likely wouldn't face the same parental objections as before.
The taxi came to a sudden stop some distance from the White Day Fire, and the driver turned to Zhang Qiu, his voice trembling, "Bro, can you get out here?"
Outside the White Day Fire, chaos had erupted; everyone was swinging sticks and clubs, and the taxi driver dared not approach. If his car got damaged, who would be responsible? Could he expect these thugs to pay for repairs?
"Let me out here!"
Zhang Qiu had already opened the door and jumped out after Yao Yu. In the crowd of fighters outside the White Day Fire, Zhang Qiu spotted Yang Yu, Gao Zhi, and Wang Zhengxiang, who were outnumbered and trapped in the middle by Lin Tao's crew. It seemed that not only was there fighting outside, but there was also a brawl happening inside the White Day Fire.
Zhang Qiu picked up a brick from the ground and charged into the fray, knocking down four or five people with precise strikes aimed at vital points. Zhao Pingchuan and Yao Yu followed closely behind him into the crowd. Seeing Zhang Qiu charging in, Yang Yu shouted, "Brother Qiu!"
With Yao Yu and Zhao Pingchuan joining forces with Yang Yu, their appearance boosted the morale of their side significantly. The hundred or so people trapped inside the bar raised their sticks and knives and managed to push back the enemies who had already entered. Looking at his battered Brothers, Zhang Qiu shouted, "Kill!"
A brother tossed a machete to Zhang Qiu, who caught it and immediately took down two opponents blocking his path. The tide of battle shifted from defense to a stalemate. Although they were outnumbered, Zhang Qiu's side held a significant advantage in spirit. The first floor of the White Day Fire, which had been taken over, was reclaimed as they forced the enemies out of the bar.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians on this summer night, especially since it was after the college entrance exams. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the air was thick with heat. The lively scene on the street caused passersby to scatter; some curious onlookers took out their phones to record while students from Hall Society rushed into the fray upon seeing their leader surrounded.
Zhang Qiu felt a surge of pride as he watched fresh reinforcements join them. After twelve years of education, students instinctively tended to avoid trouble; yet in this dangerous situation, some were willing to throw themselves into it without hesitation. Zhang Qiu knew he had succeeded. The philosophy of Hall Society—helping every student—had been recognized and passed on. When trouble arose for their club, those who had once received help returned it by supporting News Agency.
Just as Zhang Qiu felt elated, a group approached from south to north. Frowning at them, he realized they were led by Red Hair, someone with whom he had past grievances. Brothers may quarrel among themselves but unite against external threats. Now that a common enemy loomed large, even if Third Brother and Brother Leopard were at odds, they wouldn’t abandon their brothers in need. Just as Zhang Qiu prepared for reinforcements to arrive, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure beside Red Hair—it was Mao Tong!
Mao Tong had just shaved his head; his square face matched his flat-top haircut perfectly—he looked like a brick from afar. Spotting Zhang Qiu in the crowd, Mao Tong shouted, "Zhang Qiu! Today is your end!"
After that proclamation, Mao Tong called out to his attacking Brothers at White Day Fire: "Brothers! Third Brother from Stone Dagger Gang has allied with us! Charge! Take down White Day Fire and avenge Brother Tiger! Tao Ge will reward you handsomely."
As soon as Mao Tong finished speaking, the Brothers erupted in cheers and raised their weapons high above their heads. Yellow Hair chimed in at just the right moment: "Brothers! Everything we take down belongs to us! Brother Hai will also reward you generously!"
Red Hair looked back at his darkened crowd of followers and felt invigorated. This was why they came out to mix it up—to seize opportunities like this one. With Brother Hai and Brother Leopard completely at odds now due to his past issues with Zhang Qiu, he found himself sent directly to attack White Day Fire by Brother Hai himself. Everyone knew that White Day Fire was one of the easiest places to conquer; aside from some club members inside, most were just students—wasn’t this an obvious chance for him to rise? Red Hair recalled vividly how Zhang Qiu had knocked him down before; gritting his teeth he thought: "Finally I can take my revenge!"
"Brother Qiu! This..." Rui Rui arrived last by taxi and was utterly stunned; she never expected Third Brother would ally with Lin Tao.
Zhang Qiu also hadn’t anticipated this twist; what he thought would be reinforcements turned out to be enemies instead—his hopes dashed as defensive pressure mounted instantly. He firmly remembered Biao Ge's words over the phone: they must hold onto White Day Fire at all costs. Even if Biao Ge wasn’t there anymore, he wouldn’t give up either. White Day Fire was Hall Society's only source of income; losing it would be like a snake caught by its neck—left vulnerable for slaughter.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qiu tightened his grip on the machete with his right hand while holding Jiang Xue’s hand with his left. Turning back to look at his disheveled Brothers in tattered clothes, he shouted loudly: "Brothers! White Day Fire is our home! The enemy wants to invade our home and take our livelihood—can we allow that?"
"No way!" came an immediate chorus of shouts in response.
"Alright," Zhang Qiu raised his machete and shouted, "We vow to defend White Day Fire!"
"We vow to defend White Day Fire!"
"We vow to defend White Day Fire!"
"We vow to defend White Day Fire!"
"…"
The morale reached new heights, with shouts rising one after another. While preparing for battle, Zhang Qiu quietly instructed Yang Yu. Yang Yu nodded in understanding and led four others back to White Day Fire.
In Mao Tong's eyes, these people were nothing but remnants of a defeated army. Mao Tong scoffed and said, "Just this few people think they can defend White Day Fire? They are overestimating themselves!"
Mao Tong was quite pleased with the idiom he had inadvertently used. To maintain this glory, he swung his blade and shouted, "Take down White Day Fire!"
"Take down White Day Fire!" The Brothers under Mao Tong and the red-haired men shouted together. The crowd automatically parted to make way as Mao Tong led his men to the front line, directly facing Zhang Qiu.
