The next morning, before Fang Yu woke up, Hua Mao and Lao Liang had already brought people along and were looking all over the streets for Zhou Er.

Luo Jiu had told them before not to make trouble and added another sentence, “If anything happens, listen to Yang Lei.” 4UyMhd

With Fang Yu like this, how could Luo Jiu’s heart not hurt? How could Luo Jiu not be outraged?

Under Yang Lei’s request, Luo Jiu gave Yang Lei the full power to deal with this matter.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Only a few hours after receiving Yang Lei’s phone call, nearly all of the Jianghai gangsters knew that all of Yan Ziyi and Luo Jiu’s people were looking for Zhou Er.

This was a call for murderous revenge that hadn’t occurred in a long time. Jianghai, which had been calm for a long time, was bound not to be calm anymore. Two gangdom bosses of Jianghu blew the whistle at the same time. What did this mean? hMFZPX

At the time, it was said the gangsters who gathered at Jianghai’s main entertainment centers, arcades, video theaters, billiards rooms, and other such places all saw the grand scene of these forces searching for Zhou Er’s group all over the streets.

According to the people who saw it with their own eyes, the main leaders under Fang Yu’s authority, like Hua Mao and Lao Liang, led a fierce procession of motorcycles up and down Jianghai’s streets and alleys. Everyone on bikes was carrying various knives wrapped in something. With a roar of bikes and murderous faces, this incomparably arrogant and flashy motorcycle procession rushed through downtown Jianghai. When they saw a gangster, they asked where Zhou Er was. Everyone knew they were going to cut someone.

There were also several vans full of people, wandering all around the city. When they saw a gangster, they would pull down the windows and ask whether or not they had seen Zhou Er.

As long as you looked into a car window, you would see dark heads and bright machetes.

xqBHQK

This was a formidable and spectacular display of murderous revenge. It had been many years since so many in the Jianghai gangdom had been stirred up.

Soon, it was disseminated through the streets that Zhou Er had set up Fang Yu, and Yang Lei had let the word out that he was going to kill Zhou Er.

This matter of craftily sending someone to the police station, was an act that Jianghai people looked down on and couldn’t tolerate at all. They could tolerate you stabbing someone in the back, but they couldn’t tolerate you sending someone to the police station. This was Jianghu’s bottom line. Although Zhou Er was a so-called son of a government official, he also considered himself to be part of the gangdom. He usually relied on having money and some power in the Public Security Bureau and was brothers with some gangs in the gangdom. But now, not a single gang dared to step forward and help Zhou Er. For one, they couldn’t afford to provoke Fang Yu and Yang Lei; for another, Zhou Er’s actions were too lowly, too despicable. They couldn’t even open their mouths.

That day, all of the rich kids who had participated in smashing the Grand Century Restaurant knew about the scale of the matter, and all of them were afraid. luImhd

Even if these people lorded their money and power over others, that was only when nothing had happened. If they really provoked the gangdom, how could they not be afraid? What kind of people were in the gangdom? All brawn and no brains, desperadoes, people who would readily risk their lives. If they really put in everything, they would take a life for a life! Did they care who your family was??

Those days when the motorcycle procession searched all over the city for them, they all hid inside their homes. They didn’t even dare to leave the house.

As for Zhou Er, not even his shadow was left.

If Yang Lei were just looking for Zhou Er, did it have to be this complicated? Was he really unable to find a little Zhou Er? zSjLaZ

Yang Lei was intentionally searching for them in this grand manner and getting the word out in this way.

He wanted to let everyone in Jianghai know what would happen if they touched Fang Yu.

Even if you were the emperor, if you dared to touch Fang Yu, this would be the outcome.

You’re not afraid? If not, then just give it a try. 1pcauf

Just like how Zhou Er gave it a try.

What about Zhou Er? Zhou Er was also afraid.

As early as when Yang Lei took Fang Yu out of the Public Security Bureau, Sun Ke had notified Zhou Er. Once Zhou Er had heard about it, he knew that something was wrong.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

As a matter of fact, Zhou Er really couldn’t be blamed. Zhou Er knew that Yang Lei and Fang Yu were as tight as if they were one person, but he really didn’t know who Yang Lei was. OzRJfA

Firstly, Sun Ke, the official on probation under his leadership, hadn’t passed the probationary period, and was sent back to his original department. Not only was he sent back to his original department, but also his eligibility for being transferred was canceled for three years. If he wanted to aim for being an official in the Bureau, he had to go back home and wait for three years.

Why? Because there were serious flaws in the trial procedures of a small case and the identification of bruises. Aox6jQ

It was just this much of a coincidence. Right after Fang Yu’s matter, the provincial Public Security Department came into Jianghai’s City Bureau to investigate and rectify the situation. The Jianghai City Bureau was an important branch of the provincial department. The provincial Public Security Department used the city bureau as an experiment to investigate rectification, namely checking and standardizing the trial procedure and level of criminal inquisition. In ancient times, it meant prohibiting the abuse of illegal punishment and rectifying county officials who forced confessions through torture.

Sun Ke had broken these regulations because Sun Ke was just so very unlucky. He just happened to run into it.

In fact, the provincial department documents had long arrived, but Sun Ke had thought that the rule of the law was too far away. This little town gangster’s case, strictly speaking, couldn’t even be considered a case. It was just a public security issue. Could it be related to the provincial department? So, it served him right.

It wasn’t important who pushed the case forward, or where the irrefutable evidence of bruise identification came from. At this time, what was important was the result, not the means. xBy3za

When Sun Ke was investigated by the rectification team of the provincial Public Security Department, he was dumbfounded.

Sometimes, these things happen, so don’t do anything bad. Perhaps you have been a good person your whole life, but as long as you do one bad thing, it could lead to your downfall.

Sun Ke explained everything that had happened, so the office’s Director Zhou was naturally also involved. Director Zhou was also invited to the conference room by the investigation team and questioned for 20 minutes.

Even if his son had done it, his reputation couldn’t be affected because of this matter. Fu129S

If it were in the Bureau, then whatever. But the provincial department, what was the provincial department? Who were the members of the investigation team? All of them were those whom Director Zhou normally may not even be able to reach even if he sucked up to them. If this matter got out, what kind of impression would be made among these leaders? If he were later promoted, would he be affected? Who could say for sure?

In the officialdom, the slightest movement was enough to influence the final result. Director Zhou was deeply aware of the ways of the officialdom, too aware.

Director Zhou, who was in an awful position, returned home and was extremely angry at Zhou Er. Zhou Er was originally counting on his father to support him, but when he first did these things, how could he have known things would turn out like this and become this big??

Zhou Er was also dumbfounded. FZ6Vvs

If one were to say that Zhou Er was unlucky, he was indeed truly unlucky.

Ordinarily, this small matter wouldn’t be enough to be investigated by the provincial department, but before the rectification movement, the provincial department just happened to be in need of a breakthrough, and this matter just happened to make up for it.

The officialdom also needed to put on a show, and they also needed to set up a target. The smaller the target, the better it was for hitting. It was because small targets were harmless and just right for striking. If it were really a large target, it would cause injuries. Who would dare to seriously hit it?

One may as well say that Yang Lei was actually a genius of the officialdom. He understood this reasoning very well. DV9ag

It wasn’t Yang Lei’s style to not take advantage of the opportunities that he could use.

It also wasn’t Yang Lei’s style to not kill what he could kill.

So, Sun Ke’s future was over because of this matter. Sun Ke also knew very well that when they said he could come again in three years, it was actually pretty much equivalent to being sentenced for life. Three years. If the chance were given to you once, would it continue being offered?? Right now, it was already good that he could look forward to returning to his original police station and even have his original position.

As for Zhou Er, after his father viciously taught him a lesson, along with the threat of being searched for everywhere on the streets, Zhou Er ran out of town to hide. RwUi8n

He wasn’t content, but reality was before his eyes, and it was just that cruel.

He admitted defeat, and he regretted it.

But was there any going back in this world?

Yang Lei knew that Zhou Er was hiding out of town. He wasn’t in a hurry. He had more than enough patience. hD1tBy

Zhou Er hid out of town until he thought that the matter had passed, before he snuck back into Jianghai.

Even back at Jianghai, Zhou Er didn’t dare to go out the door. After two days, he thought that there wasn’t any movement outside. He thought that Yang Lei and Fang Yu were probably no longer angry and were going to let him go, and he felt brave and at ease again.

So that day, Zhou Er went out.

Zhou Er very happily drank wine. It had been a very long time since he had drunk so comfortably. He even hummed a little tune as he returned home. 49esIG

Even though he had drunk wine, he was still very cautious. He took a taxi all the way to his house before getting out of the car, preparing to go directly upstairs.

At the foot of the stairs, as Zhou Er was about to staggeringly go up, someone walked out from the darkness of the staircase.

“Zhou Er?”

Zhou Er heard someone call him. The call was quite gentle and polite. gKebdF

“Who is it?”

Zhou Er turned around.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Once Zhou Er turned his head, that night, he couldn’t go back home.

In Jianghai after 2010, when the gangdom’s structure had long already been revamped, when people like Fang Yu and Yang Lei were long legends of the streets, the new generation of gangsters once heard about some Jianghai events in those years from the older generation, and they ranked the legendary figures according to their fight records. PpJQfc

The result of the ranking was that most of the new generation believed that, although Fang Yu was undoubtedly the most famous in those years and the gold class fighter with the best fight record, occupying No. 1 for a long time, if it were really down to ruthlessness, cruelty, and fierceness, Yang Lei was superior.

This was the conclusion of analyzing Yang Lei’s actual fight history.

This case with Zhou Er in those years, played a part in the formation of this conclusion.

Because in dealing with the problem of Zhou Er that night, the ruthlessness that Yang Lei showed, caused him to dominate the rankings of Jianghai’s fighters for almost the next twenty years. It could be seen just how ruthless he was. 8RHkZW

When Zhou Er again appeared before people’s eyes, he was hardly the original Zhou Er.

Later, Zhou Er never mentioned just what happened that night.

If someone had to ask, Zhou Er would look very frightened.

That was real fear. Pr6djf

Yang Lei remembered precisely every wound on Fang Yu’s body, where the wound was, how serious it was, how large the cut was, and how deep the internal injury was.

That night, Yang Lei let Zhou Er experience for himself how Fang Yu had been injured and how he had suffered, and even to a greater extent.

Yang Lei thought that he was being very fair. As it was said, you are inhumane, and I am unjust. One should be moral to those who are moral. Since you aren’t moral nor reasonable, then I also have no need to be moral, and I’m even more unreasonable than you.

This was Yang Lei’s social philosophy. Direct, effective, and instantly fruitful. kieP0p

Yang Lei let hundreds of gangsters formidably look all over Jianghai for Zhou Er to take revenge, but when he made a move, he was alone.

He had said to Lao Liang and Hua Mao, “Leave this matter to me. Leave him to me as well.”

He didn’t let anyone put a hand in. He dealt with Zhou Er himself.

Suffering what Fang Yu had suffered was only a part of it. pedzVG

Yang Lei, who had experienced countless actual fights and was a top street fighter with full experience, had more than enough ways to not kill you, but cause you so much pain that you would wish to die.

If it was a lesson, it must be deep, and it must be remembered for a lifetime.

In the end, Zhou Er cried loudly, weeping as he begged for mercy.

Seeing Zhou Er cry like this, Yang Lei also felt surprised. It was his first time seeing an adult man cry like this. 7gQptW

When he left, Yang Lei said this to Zhou Er:

“I’ve dealt with you. You have several paths you can take. One: take the legal path and sue me. We’ll go to court together. I’ll definitely admit that I beat you. You should also admit what you did. Everyone is equal before the law. Let’s accept the judgment in all fairness, and whoever should take it, will take it. If I should go to prison, I’d go. What punishment you should receive for using your dad’s connections to abuse power and wrong a good person, you should also receive. But I must first say, if we’re going to court, then make the accusation properly. I guarantee that no one will touch you, but if you want to set up a trap behind my back, then you can give it a try.”

Could Zhou Er be this stupid? Go to court? Could he clarify things if he went to court? Taking his dad and the matters of privately using public security and abusing power to court? What was there to gain from suing him? He had done a whole bunch of disgraceful acts. Could he come out of the court clean? Furthermore, could he really believe that Yang Lei wouldn’t actually set up traps behind his back? Zhou Er was used to taking advantage of people with his power. Since he was like that, he had no way of believing that Yang Lei, who had even greater power and influence, wouldn’t push him down. Who knew what would happen right after he sued him in court? Would he still have a life?

Zhou Er himself didn’t believe it, and Yang Lei couldn’t help it. 8IZi6P

Yang Lei said, “The second path: you blow the whistle. Let’s set the place and solve things according to Jianghai’s rules. Don’t you consider yourself to be a gangster? Gangsters do things according to the customs of the streets. You can come at any time, and I’ll be waiting for you. You decide the time and place, and you can bring as many people as you want. If I hide or avoid you, then I, Yang Lei, will disappear from Jianghai’s gangdom. Let’s fight fairly. I’ll guarantee that Jianghu’s matters will be settled in Jianghu. After that, life and death will be decided by fate. No matter who dies or is crippled, don’t trouble the other party. This is the rule!”

Zhou Er didn’t even make a sound.

Yang Lei said, “The third path: if you still want to use the same path you used with Fang Yu, go ahead. Didn’t you come out to mess around relying on your family’s power and influence? If you must be this shameless, okay, I can also do this, and I will even compete with you. Along the way, I, Yang Lei, have competed with people in everything, but I’ve never competed in who has a stronger backing. If you have to do this, then I’ll compete with you today. Don’t you usually love saying those sentences? ‘Do you know who my dad is? Do you know what my family does? Do you know where I have connections?’ Okay, then I’ll imitate your sentences today. Do you know who my dad is? Do you know what my family does? Do you know where I have connections? Do you like listening to these words? Like listening to them?!”

There was fear in Zhou Er’s eyes. 2ptNZI

It was very easy to destroy the spirit of someone like Zhou Er. Because the pillar that sustained his arrogance was very weak, so weak that it could be destroyed in one or two sentences.

To a young person like Zhou Er, perhaps an unnecessary sense of superiority was also a kind of misfortune.

Fortunately, later Zhou Er was no longer the original Zhou Er.

Many years later, when Zhou Er had really matured, he even became a good person. That’s another story. Ii Gyf

He always remembered Yang Lei and remembered the words Yang Lei said to him that night.

That year, that night, in the end, Yang Lei said two sentences to Zhou Er.

The first sentence: “If you’re a man, then be fucking proper! Don’t live indecently like mud!”

The second sentence: “Fang Yu is my person.” f2yd O
