Chapter 19 - The fire

"You guys, hurry up and leave!"

Hearing the sound of motorcycles, the beautiful woman's face changed, showing a hint of panic, and she hastily tried to get Chen Jianghe and Zhang Pengto leave.

Chen Jianghe and Zhang Peng frowned and walked out.

As soon as they went out, the beautiful woman hurriedly locked the gate.

"Sister Liu, why are you in such a hurry to close the door? Where's Xiao Xiao? Tell her to come out and go to the movies with us!" Outside, three Jialing motorcycles roared over, and several hoodlum youths rushed out of the cars and vigorously pounded on the gate.

Seeing Chen Jianghe and Zhang Peng, the two youths even glared at them provocatively.

When Zhang Peng saw the leading youth, a mix of anger and fear appeared in his eyes.

Chen Jianghe lit a cigarette and stood to the side, not leaving.

"Li Fei, Xiao Xiao is already asleep. She has school tomorrow and can't go out. You guys should leave!"

The beautiful woman said, retreating two steps behind the gate.

"Why sleep so early? Sister Liu, don't worry, we'll bring Xiao Xiao back after the movie!"

Li Fei chuckled ruffianly.

"If Xiao Xiao doesn't go, then it's fine if you go with us, Sister Liu!"

"No, let both mother and daughter go together!"

"Liu Xiaoxiao doesn't have a dad, and you don't have a man. How about me? I don't mind your age!"

Several young men beside them shouted wildly.

Zhang Peng was furious, but seemed to have some reservations and didn't dare to speak up.

"Li Fei, don't go too far! If you don't leave, I'm calling the police!"

Liu Wen, the beautiful woman, trembled with anger.

"Call the police? Your illegal clinic doesn't even have a business license. If you call the police, I'd like to see if the cops will trouble you or us!"

Li Fei, with a cigarette in his mouth, brazenly shouted.

"Li Fei, I also know your brother. Give me some face; don't bother my daughter anymore. My daughter still needs to study!" Liu Wen's expression changed, and her tone softened.

Her illegal clinic wasn't clean itself, and she didn't want to call the police unless absolutely necessary.

Besides, those in uniforms might not be any easier to deal with than these hooligans.

"Sister Liu, what are you talking about? How am I bothering Xiao Xiao? I want to take Xiao Xiao to make big money. What's the use of studying? It's better to go out and make money earlier!"

Li Fei smiled insincerely, pulling hard on the gate, but it didn't open.

"Exactly, let Xiao Xiao go make big money with Brother Fei!"

"As long as a woman spreads her legs, doesn't money just come?"

Several other youths also chimed in, egging him on.

Liu Wen's pretty face turned red with anger, at a loss. She ran a clinic here, and most people with some influence in the underworld generally gave her some face.

After all, when you're out in the world, you never know when you'll need a doctor's help.

But these small-time thugs didn't care about any of that. Li Fei used to be Liu Xiaoxiao's classmate. After being expelled from school, he became idle and caused trouble everywhere with a few other youths.

Recently, they heard that a bar had opened near North Street that needed women, and Li Fei thought of Liu Xiaoxiao. Liu Xiaoxiao was pretty and young, and he wanted to get her to make money.

"Friend, that's enough!"

At this moment, Chen Jianghe suddenly snuffed out his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and reached out to press on Li Fei's shoulder.

"Who the hell are you? Is it your place to butt into my, Li Fei's, business?"

Li Fei turned around, immediately displeased.

"Jianghe, forget it. Li Fei's older brother is also a thug from North Street. Let's not provoke them!" Zhang Peng said anxiously, quickly trying to stop him.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's Brother Peng, isn't it? What's up, Brother Peng? Didn't you get enough of a beating last time?" Li Fei's expression immediately became mocking when he saw Zhang Peng. "Daring to ask Boss Lai for your wages, Brother Peng, you're really something!"

"Li Fei, my business with Lai San is already settled. Don't go looking for trouble!"

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth and said firmly.

Lai San was the owner of the Billiard Hall where Zhang Peng used to work.

"Dapeng, when you went to get your wages before, did they beat you?"

Chen Jianghe's face turned cold. Last time, when Zhang Peng went to buy a motorcycle, he first went to collect his wages. When he brought the motorcycle back, he had many injuries on him.

At the time, Zhang Peng said he fell off the motorcycle, but Chen Jianghe felt something was wrong. Those injuries indeed weren't from a fall.

Zhang Peng lowered his head, not saying a word.

That day, he went to Lai San for money. Lai San said he hadn't taken leave and hadn't given notice that he was quitting, so his last month's salary would be deducted. He argued with Lai San for a few sentences and unexpectedly was beaten up by people Lai Sancalled.

Even after the beating, he didn't leave, so Lai Sanfinally threw three hundred yuan at him and told him to get lost.

"What, kid, you still want to stick up for Zhang Peng? Do you know who my brother is, he… Ah!"

Li Fei, still boastful and wanting to speak, was directly kicked hard by Chen Jianghe on the side of his calf.

The guy screamed, his leg bone made a 'crack' sound, directly bending more than thirty degrees from the side, his leg broken by Chen Jianghe's kick.

"Brother Fei!"

The few youths nearby were stunned, not expecting that with six of them and only two of Chen Jiangheand Zhang Peng, Chen Jianghe would still dare to make a move.

One youth had just shouted when Chen Jianghegrabbed him by the hair and violently slammed his head against the wall next to the gate. The guy didn't even groan before he passed out.

The third youth, with yellow hair, tried to pull out a switchblade, but Chen Jianghe sidestepped and delivered a flying kick, sending him flying. His body, less than a hundred pounds, flew over a meter and crashed heavily onto a motorcycle, knocking it over.

"Damn you!"

Zhang Peng roared, directly drawing his large machete and charging towards the remaining three yellow-haired youths who were scared stiff.

It is said that the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear those who don't fear death.

These yellow-haired youths were fine bullying good kids, but they were no match for truly ruthless people.

One yellow-haired youth was cut down by Zhang Peng, and the remaining two jumped on their motorcycles and fled.

After the two yellow-haired youths ran away, Zhang Peng walked back to Li Fei and kicked him several times.

"Stop hitting him! You'll kill him!"

Liu Wen stood inside the house, shouting worriedly.

"Li Fei, don't be so arrogant! I'm not easy to bully anymore!"

Only then did Zhang Peng stop.

Li Fei was beaten beyond recognition, clutching his leg, staring at Chen Jianghe with hatred.

"Kid, Zhang Peng, you guys just wait! My brother won't let you off!"

Li Fei stared intently at Chen Jianghe and shouted.

"Dapeng!"

Chen Jianghe expressionlessly reached out to Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng handed the large machete to Chen Jianghe, who directly chopped at Li Fei's heel, severing Li Fei's Achilles tendon.

"Ah!"

Li Fei screamed, so much in pain that he urinated himself.

"Go back and tell Lai San that he touched my brother. He owes me for this, and if he's not convinced, then he can come meet me, Chen Jianghe!"

"Scram!"

Chen Jianghe stared coldly at Li Fei, who was rolling and wailing on the ground, and said.
