My request to Zeng Hong is so simple: to forever draw a clear line with him, to never bother me again, and to never appear in my life again.
Zeng Hong looked at me in disbelief, her lips trembling. She asked me defiantly, "Am I so detestable to you that you would threaten my life just to keep me away from you?"Zhao Fei, who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?
She started crying again as she spoke. I smiled and said, "I'm just the son of a driver, I know, but in my heart, you're just a scheming bitch, nothing more. So, let's draw the line."
Zeng Hong looked at me, crying very hard, tears streaming down her face. Really, she was even sadder than before, but I didn't pity her. My hatred for Zeng Hong came from the heart.
Zeng Hong didn't take a stand, but I will make her fear me. I will make her know that I am a dangerous person.
At that moment, Wang Gui came out. He lit a cigarette, shook his hand, and there was blood all over him. I asked, "What happened?"
"Fei Ge, it's done. They both agreed to a duel. Don't worry, who do you want to win?" Wang Gui asked me.
"That damn person must die," I said.
Huang Qin shouldn't have died; he just wanted to mess with Zeng Hong. Although he was a spoiled rich kid, it was just a personal grudge between us. But the bald guy, he must die. Once he's gone, Huang Qin will be scared, and I can consider it as doing justice on behalf of heaven.
Wang Gui nodded, then drew a dagger and threw it inside. I waited outside, not knowing what was happening inside, only hearing a series of curses and shouts.
"Huang Qin, don't listen to them, don't kill me..."
"Huang Qin..."
I couldn't hear Huang Qin's voice, only the sound of the bald man cursing. I still remember when the bald man and his gang blocked me at my doorstep, my mom holding a knife to protect me. At that moment, I swore that I would never let this happen again, and the bald man had to die...
I glanced at the small dark room out of the corner of my eye. I don't know how Zhao Kui and the others managed to make them submit, but judging by the miserable cries I just heard, it must have taken quite an effort.
I looked at Huang Qin, holding a knife, the bald man on the ground was lying there, unable to resist, very miserable. I still vaguely remember that day when he tried to chop me at my doorstep, how fierce he was then. Now, he looks like a toothless dog.
"Huang Qin, don't be stupid. If you kill me, they'll kill you too. You'll end up in prison. They just want to watch the show..."
The bald man was still shouting curses, but Huang Qin seemed to have lost his soul. He said, "I don't want to be beaten anymore, it's too painful. Bald Brother, you dying is better than all of us dying. They said I'm a rich second-generation, they won't kill me. You're a rapist, you deserve to die..."
Huang Qin's words were very cold. Zhao Kui understood human nature very well; he knew how to incite others and how to hypnotize Huang Qin. Really, it was very scary.
Suddenly, Huang Qin lunged forward, and I watched as he stabbed with the knife in his hand, one stab after another. I couldn't watch anymore. That's human nature; to survive, one must sacrifice what people think should be sacrificed.
Suddenly, the shouting and cursing stopped abruptly. I knew it was all over. I glanced outside; the light in the small room was dim. I saw Huang Qin squatting on the ground, covered in blood, holding a knife, while the bald man lay motionless on the ground. Zeng Hong also turned his head. I immediately held Zeng Hong's head and said, "Don't look, you don't want to see this. Just knowing is enough."
Zeng Hong trembled in fear in my arms. I stroked Zeng Hong's head, my gaze fixed on the ground. My heart was calm, only a faint sadness lingered. In the dark world, it was always so cruel.
I drove away from the little black room, believing that Zhao Kui and the others would handle it well. I waited for them on the road, while Zeng Hong kept crying. I wasn't annoyed, just coldly staring out the window. Is all this worth it?
For the sake of peace, for my mom to live safely, I think it's worth it. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they offend me, I'll repay them tenfold. All of this is their own doing.
"Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei..." Zeng Hong grabbed me, resting her head on my shoulder. Out of pity for her, I reached out and patted her back a couple of times. I remember that in the past, when Zeng Hong had nightmares, she always needed someone to pat her back a few times before she could relax.
When I patted her hand, she trembled in fear a few times, but soon she jumped up and threw herself into my arms, holding me tightly.
She was crying very hard. I wanted to push her away, but I couldn't bear to. Let's just consider it the last hug. After tonight, she won't bother me anymore.
I watched as the car behind me drove out, its headlights illuminating the darkness. Wang Gui's car pulled up next to me, and I asked, "Did you handle it?"
"Yeah, don't worry, Fei Ge, Zhao Kui handled it very cleanly."
I looked at Zhao Kui; he was very calm. I didn't know what this man was thinking. He wanted to get rid of the bald man even more than I did. Perhaps he really hated rapists; he truly was a person who despised evil.
I looked at Huang Qin in the back seat; he seemed very stiff, his face expressionless. I said, "Huang Qin..."
Huang Qin didn't respond to me, and Zhao Kui gave him a hard slap, saying, "Brother Fei is talking to you..."
Huang Qin hurriedly looked at me, his face pale and very flustered. I said, "Is our matter settled?"
Huang Qin hurriedly nodded, and I repeated, "Is our matter settled?"
Huang Qin nodded again, and Zhao Kui slapped him again, saying, "Can't persuade, dumbass?"
Huang Qin hurriedly said, "Got it..."
I said, "That's good. I hope this can be completely resolved this time. After all, you haven't committed a serious crime. The bald guy is missing. Do you know how to handle it?"
Huang Qin shook his head, and Zhao Kui slapped him, saying, "He's a rapist, of course he's gone to hide. You don't know where, you're not familiar with him, got it?"
Huang Qin nodded, I smiled and then drove off. When we reached the city, Zhao Kui let Huang Qin off and let him walk on his own. I believe Huang Qin won't do anything foolish, after all, he was the one who killed the person.
Zhao Kui leaned against the car, and a few of his underlings got out too. Everyone lit up a cigarette, their faces showing fierce expressions. As I watched, I felt no regret. Everyone has a dark side, and so do I. This side of me is about to be magnified. I don't know how many more dark things will happen in the future, but I have no regrets.
"Fei Ge, how should we deal with this woman?" Zhao Kui asked me.
I looked at Zeng Hong, and she looked at me. She swallowed hard, her eyes filled with fear. I said, "Let me handle it. You take the brothers to the bathhouse, find a few girls, and put all the expenses on my tab. Have a good time."
Zhao Kui nodded, a few people excitedly shouted, and then they directly got into the car and left.
I also drove towards the most luxurious villa area in Kunming. I was taking Zeng Hong home. On the way, Zeng Hong didn't say a word, just staring blankly ahead. This time, I was a bit harsh, unlike the usual petty quarrels. I might have really scared her.
That's fine, I still vividly remember Huang Qinzhi's demeanor. Xiaomi is right, people only fear you if you are more ruthless than others.
The car stopped at the entrance of the villa area, and I said, "Get out..."
Zeng Hong looked at me, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you really letting me go?"
I said, "Yes, from now on... don't ever appear in front of me again, don't provoke me, don't bully Xuan Ling, don't get involved with me in any way..."
Zeng Hong suddenly grabbed my shoulder, as if mustering up courage, and said, "Do I really disgust you this much?"You used to like me a lot. To please me, you were willing to do anything for me. I still remember you saving me a seat, you cutting in line to buy me bubble tea. I remember, I remember everything. Why, why did it change? Why?
I said, "So what if things have changed? I've seen through a lot of things. How you treat others is how others will treat you. Got it?"At my most desperate moment, I made a request, just a tiny request. I just wanted a place for us, mother and child, to live. I thought you would help me, but you fucking stabbed me in the back, forcing me to move out of the house I grew up in, a house that meant nothing to you. You added insult to injury, stabbing me hard in my wound. So, it's settled, get lost, just get lost...
I suppressed my anger and vented my dissatisfaction. Zeng Hong looked at me, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, she lunged at me, hugging me tightly. Her red lips came close to mine. I didn't dodge or respond. She kept kissing me. I looked at her; she kissed me as if unwilling to give up. I didn't know what had gotten into her, but not responding was the best way to hit her back.
But she kept provoking me, making me a bit angry. I pushed her away and said, "Do you want to die?"
Zeng Hong stubbornly said, "Yeah, go ahead and kill me..."
I know she has given up and is coming at me again. I know she is unwilling to accept defeat; she is a strong-willed woman. She knows I won't kill her now, so she wants to reclaim me. To put it simply, I am just a toy she doesn't want to throw away. I don't want to be a toy.
I grabbed her collar, and she didn't avoid me, just looked at me. I was furious and said, "Get lost, or you'll regret it."
But Zeng Hong smiled, pulled down the zipper of her short top, and the corners of her shirt immediately parted to the left and right, step by step, she approached me.
I went a bit crazy, I just wanted to scare her a little, who knew she would... is she crazy?
