Chapter 2 - Iron-fisted of That He Is

A man who's colder than ice paces around in an old, abandoned car garage. As he smokes his cigar, his henchmen surround him waiting for orders. Just in front of him another man sits tied to a chair brutally beaten with half of his body covered up with dried up blood. The air is thin, and the mood is tense. He takes his last puff of smoke before putting out his cigar. Now stands before this poor man, a man who knows no mercy, none other than Kang Weizhe.

Kang Weizhe wasn't just any man. He was the "MAN" of Guangzhou, China. You would think thrice before crossing him. Kang Weizhe has connections with police enforcement and high-end business Ceo's all taken over by blackmail or bribes and most commonly greed. Everyone in this day and age aimed to overtake one another trying to have as much power as possible. With the help of Kang Weizhe, most were able to achieve their goal and in return served him.

Kang Weizhe's rise to power was easy. It was like a family-owned business and naturally you'll hand it down to your successor. Weizhe's' father was a conman, a very good one in fact and that's more or less how he built his empire. He was a very smart man who was always five steps ahead of everyone else. He met the girl of his dreams and had a child with her. Soon he would realize she wasn't so dreamy at all and had successfully conned her way into his heart. She wanted to take everything he had and only had a child so she could secure her position to rise to a higher status and lead over the business. Unfortunately for her, things did not go as she planned, and, in the end, she was kicked to the curb with nothing at all, not even the clothes on her back quite literally.

Kang Weizhe got his ruthless behavior from his father as he grew up with him after his mother was disowned. He taught Weizhe the ins and outs of their business, and what he had to take responsibility for. Over the years, Kang Weizhe's father had grown a strong liking to him as Kang Weizhe became the man he had wanted him to be but even better. Kang Weizhe however realized over the years his father was a creep. He understood fatherly love, but there's a limit to that and from then on, he has kept his distance except for when necessary.

Kang Weizhe was also given a little sister, much later in life when he was 23. His father was 52 at that time and had gotten a nineteen-year-old girl pregnant. She still had a life ahead of her and did not want the child. Neither did Kang Weizhe's father when he found out she was developmentally inconvenienced at 3 years old and wanted to put her up for adoption. Kang Weizhe then, and only this one moment in his life had an ounce of sympathy and took responsibility for her.

Now to present time, Kang Weizhe is 33 and currently handling some affairs.

"If I had a dime for every time a scum such as yourself tried to cross me, I think I'd be sitting on a throne of millions. Although, it already precedes me. But it's not something to brag about. You know, I don't quite understand the need for people like you to take what someone has earned through a lot of sacrifice and hard work to save your own ass. It's not my fault you ended up your previous situation. I heard from a whistler of mine that you met up with someone and sold private information about me. We'll keep this simple. I'd like to know who it was and quick. If not, well I also know you're expecting a miracle baby. After three miscarriages you must've been so enthusiastic to have finally got your blessing. Wouldn't it be such a shame that your wife doesn't get to experience motherhood because of her pathetic husband?"

"Please! Don't hurt her, she has nothing to do with this! I understand my actions were wrong and that's entirely my fault just leave her alone. If you touch her, I'll kill you!" the man hoarsely shouted, grimacing in pain. Kang Weizhe looked very nonchalant before walking up to the man. He sucked his teeth before speaking,

"Listen to this dead man talking. I really didn't want to dirty my hands, but I'm getting impatient," Kang Weizhe said. He bent down to the other man's level before grabbing his neck and choking him.

"Hm? We can do this the easy way or not. Depends on you. I'll give you three seconds to tell me who it was you opened your wretched mouth to, and I might just spare your life—if I'm feeling generous that is," Kang Weizhe said the anger inside of him rising as his veins popped out from his hands and his grip around the man's neck became tighter. He pressed down more firmly making sure you block off his airway. The man tied to the chair desperately struggled for air and furiously tapped his hands on the edge of the chair. Kang Weizhe let go. The man gasped for air before catching his breath.

"His name is Xiao Yuming, he works for GZ company. I owed them money, but I didn't have it at the time. So.....I opted to tell them a bit of info as compensation instead. It was just a little irrelevant thing. I didn't think you would care," The man nervously spoke.

"GZ company? You mean Bai Jinhai?" Kang Weizhe asked. The man nodded quickly. Kang Weizhe scoffed.

"You sold out information about me to pay back a debt you owed to not just anyone but Bai Jinhai? That piece of shit Bai Jinhai. You didn't think I would care? Oh, you sure know me so well," Kang Weizhe snickered. He stood up before putting his hand out gesturing for a towel. One of his henchmen quickly came to him and began to wipe his hand clean. Kang Weizhe checked the time.

"Now I'm going to be a bit late. This pisses me off," He put his phone back in his pocket and took his other hand away.

"Get rid of him and do a background check on Xiao Yuming. Find out where he is and report back to me," Kang Weizhe ordered. The poor man in the back could be heard screaming and begging. Kang Weizhe didn't pay any mind and took his exit.

He entered his car and spoke to his driver.

"Is there a place that sells ice cream around here?"

"No, not any good ones. But there is this new place that recently opened at the mall. Supposedly it's so good, people go back for seconds in the same day. Would you like to check it out, Sir?"

Kang Weizhe nodded.
