"Die, you bastard!"A thug swung a wooden stick hard at Wang Yu's head.
"Get lost!" Wang Yu cursed, his voice thunderous like a clap of lightning. Instead of retreating, he lunged forward with lightning speed, snatched the stick from the thug's hands, and landed a swift kick to his knee. A sickening crack sounded as the bone snapped, followed by another vicious kick to the thug's chest.
"Aaaah—!"With a bloodcurdling scream, the man flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into the group behind him. A loud bang echoed as bodies were knocked to the ground.
Wielding the wooden stick, Wang Yu charged into the crowd. Every move he made struck at vital points. Screams erupted in all directions. Even car windows shattered, blood flowing down the doors like rain.
Bodies twitched and convulsed in the muddy water, foam at their mouths, limbs trembling uncontrollably.
He Wei's heart raced with panic, his face twisted with fear. He staggered backward, screaming, "Follow me! All together! Kill him!"
Outside the house, the rain still poured. The sounds of violent fighting, screams, and angry roars mixed with the rain, creating a terrifying cacophony.
"Wang Qiang, what's happening out there? Quick! Go see how our son is!"Inside, Wang Yu's blind mother cried out in fear. Her voice trembled with anxiety and despair.
"There are so many of them! How can Wang Yu possibly stand a chance?"
"Bastards! I'll fight you all!" Wang Qiang roared, blood boiling. With a surge of will, he grabbed the kitchen knife and crawled desperately toward the door.
But when he finally dragged himself outside, he was stunned.
Amidst the rain and scattered sticks and umbrellas, the muddy ground was littered with groaning bodies. Over a dozen men lay sprawled in pain.
"Did… did Xiaofei do all this alone?"Wang Qiang was so shocked he dropped the knife. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Wang Yu.
In the rain, only two men were still standing—Wang Yu, and He Wei.
He Wei was pale as a sheet, trembling uncontrollably, leaning against a car.
"H-how… how could this happen?" he stammered.Even seeing it with his own eyes, he could barely believe it.
He knew Wang Yu could fight, but he had brought over a dozen seasoned thugs, all armed and experienced. No matter how strong Wang Yu was, he should've been overwhelmed.
But in mere moments, Wang Yu had taken down all of them. Now, only He Wei was left.
Is he even human? This is insane.
"W-Wang Yu, d-don't come any closer!"All of He Wei's arrogance had vanished. As Wang Yu approached, he shook with fear.
"I'm warning you! I work for Ding Chen! If you touch me, he'll make you pay—he'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
He tried to scare Wang Yu by invoking his connections.
But Wang Yu only sneered in disdain. Without a word, he suddenly threw a heavy punch straight into He Wei's stomach.
"Ugh—aaahhh!"He Wei clutched his abdomen and screamed like an animal, collapsing into the filthy mud. The pain nearly made him pass out—he felt like his guts had been torn apart.
Wang Yu grabbed a handful of his wet hair and yanked him up.
"He Wei! We're neighbors! You already hurt my father, and now you're still going after my family? How heartless are you?"
His fury exploded as he landed another punch into He Wei's gut, sending blood spraying from his mouth.
He Wei howled in agony, his face twitching in pain. After a long moment, he weakly raised his hand in surrender, sobbing,"Brother Wang Yu! Please… have mercy… I'm just the messenger. I was only collecting a debt… it wasn't my idea… sob…"
"Collecting a debt? From who?" Wang Yu barked, eyes blazing.
"Ding Chen! From Ximen City! He sent me!" He Wei cried, clutching his stomach. "He forced me! I was just doing the job—I swear it wasn't personal!"
"Ding Chen… from Ximen City?"Wang Yu frowned. He hadn't been home in years, and now there was some new thug running things?
"It's your younger brother! He owes Ding Chen five hundred thousand yuan!" He Wei sobbed. "That's why I came to collect!"
Wang Yu froze."What did you say? Five hundred thousand?"
He was stunned by the number. For the rich, that might be nothing. But for a family like his in a third-tier city like Ximen, it was astronomical.
"No way. Why would my brother borrow that much?"He didn't believe it. He yanked He Wei's hair harder, making him scream in agony.
WEE-OOH~ WEE-OOH~ WEE-OOH~
Suddenly, piercing police sirens echoed in the distance, rapidly approaching.
Wang Yu looked toward the oncoming sirens, a hint of confusion in his eyes.Who called the police? There was no one here who could have.
Within moments, two police cars emerged from the rainy mist, lights flashing.
With screeching brakes, they came to a halt. Doors flew open and officers jumped out.
Leading the charge was a square-jawed middle-aged man—Wang Yu recognized him. It was Li Gang, once the deputy chief of the local precinct.
Unbeknownst to Wang Yu, Li Gang was no longer deputy—he was now the chief.
More officers quickly followed, including a young woman in plain clothes.
She wore a long pink blazer over a cute shirt and tight dark jeans, radiating youthful energy.
But what caught Wang Yu's attention wasn't her outfit—it was her face.
That face looked very familiar.
It was Liu Yunyun, the girl from next door!
She had truly blossomed from an awkward teen into a beautiful young woman.
As she stepped out of the car, she didn't notice Wang Yu at first. Like the others, she was stunned by the sight of all the injured men on the ground.
"What happened here?" she asked.
He Wei, seeing the officers, screamed like he'd seen salvation.
"Officer Li! Help! Please help!"
His cries snapped everyone to attention, and their eyes turned to where Wang Yu was still gripping He Wei by the hair.
One inexperienced officer instinctively pulled his gun and shouted,"Don't move! Drop him! Hands on your head and get down!"
