Chapter 59

He knew that the world was not peaceful anymore, and that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, but when it happened, Yu Zibai's heart still tightened instinctively. Qin Huai on the side was very calm. He was even rummaging through his bag, and said coldly: "It's so hot today, don't waste your breath. Just do it. If you win, you can take everything." As for what would happen if he lost, he would have to experience it himself first.

After Qin Huai finished speaking, he took out a pair of gloves from his bag. The gloves were half-length gloves, but iron plates were embedded on the finger bones and joints. Seeing him wearing the gloves, the leader stepped back with a guilty conscience. The initial force value was different with and without equipment. But when he thought that although they had no equipment, they had weapons. Any steel rod or brick picked up from the ground could be a weapon. In addition, they were many in number. When he thought about this, he was no longer timid, but he still had to say: "Harmony brings wealth..."

Before the man could finish his words, Qin Huai rushed over and punched him in the face. If Qin Huai hadn't reduced some of the force, this kind of professional glove would have directly broken his jawbone when hit in the face.

Jiang Ping subconsciously fought back, but with his limited skills, as soon as he raised his hand to punch, he was grabbed by Qin Huai and kicked away.

Jiang Ping was kicked to the point of half kneeling on the ground, vomiting and coughing. Qin Huai was not the kind of person who would stop when he saw that he had achieved something. If they dared to have any thoughts about him, he would beat them down harshly. He walked to Jiang Ping in three or two steps. Jiang Ping subconsciously stepped back, but Qin Huai did not give Jiang Ping a chance to retreat. He directly grabbed his collar and punched him in the face again.

Jiang Ping tilted his head and began to spit out blood, with a few white teeth in the blood.

No one else expected Qin Huai to take direct action. They were just a mob gathered together, relying on their numbers to mark a territory. Seeing that they were numerous, most people wanted to keep things quiet and not offend them, so they avoided them whenever possible. The concession of others only fostered the inflated hearts of this group of people, and they suddenly felt that they were so awesome. As long as they were careful not to offend those in military uniforms, there would be no one in this community that they could not offend.

As a result, the seemingly united group was directly broken up by Qin Huai. This group of people had no intention of "protecting their master". When they saw Jiang Ping being beaten, the instinctive reaction of those standing next to Jiang Ping was to step back quickly, fearing that the fist would hit them. Some people even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal some of the things on their trailer, but Yu Zibai was still guarding there. When he saw people coming, he also attacked directly, but his attack was much lighter than Qin Huai's. Qin Huai's two fists were already bleeding, but Yu Zibai just beat the man back and stopped.

But his two fists were no match for four hands. As more people came here, even if he did not hold back, he could not protect them all by himself. There were always people who took advantage of the gaps and touched their trailer.

Qin Huai, who was beating Jiang Ping, seemed to have eyes behind his back. He picked up Jiang Ping, who was dizzy from being beaten, and picked up a wooden board on the ground with one hand and hit the man who stretched his hand onto their trailer. The man didn't have time to dodge and was hit hard by the board. His arm instantly dropped in a twisted posture and he fell to the ground with a miserably howling.

In an instant, Qin Huai turned and hit the approaching person's head with the wooden board in his hand again. The wooden board suffered two heavy blows and broke into pieces. The person's head that was hit by the wooden board also bleeds instantly. He reached out his hand and touched his head subconsciously. He didn't know whether he was fainted by the blood or scared, and fell straight to the ground.

Qin Huai threw Jiang Ping directly to the ground and beat the group of people who didn't know whether to live or die with his fists, making them wail miserably. Realizing that these two people were really tough guys, those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos immediately gave up and retreated, no longer daring to move forward, and the people surrounding Yu Zibai also retreated when they saw this.

They are all a group of ordinary people who have become inflated by the smooth sailing during this period. Some of them have never fought with anyone in their lives and just followed the crowd. This time they hit a wall and saw people with broken hands, broken heads, or even lying on the ground with their lives unknown. Only then did these people feel afraid.

Jiang Ping, who was lying on the ground, was a gangster himself. However, he was just an errand boy before. He was the kind who took advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble. Now that the order was broken, he felt that his time had come. After following his cousin who recruited many people, he forgot his own weight. At this moment, he was stunned by Qin Huai and didn't know when to stop. He even couldn't help but say harshly: "You, my cousin will not let you go!"

Qin Huai laughed softly when he heard this: "Really? Then before your cousin lets me go, ask me if I want to let you go."

As he said this, he grabbed Jiang Ping's hair and smashed his head to the ground.

No one expected that Qin Huai would be so cruel. Hitting the head like this could really kill someone. Even Yu Zibai who was standing by was shocked. He probably didn't expect that Qin Huai, who seemed very rational and calm on weekdays, would become a different person once he started to fight.

Qin Huai grabbed Jiang Ping's hair and pulled him up again. Looking at Jiang Ping who looked like a dead man, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Robbery? My cousin won't let me go?"

Before he finished his words, he grabbed Jiang Ping's head and slammed it to the ground again.

Jiang Ping was really scared. A smell of urine emanated from between his legs. He was shaking like a sieve, and was in so much pain that he saw stars. He felt that he would be beaten to death in the next second. He opened his mouth as if to beg for mercy, but his tongue was so tangled that he couldn't even utter a word.

Yu Zibai was afraid that someone would be killed, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Forget it, if you hit him again he'll be dead." He didn't call Qin Huai's name, for fear that someone would hear it and seek revenge later.

Qin Huai let go of Jiang Ping's hair and pinched his neck instead, with one hand against his forehead. He smiled but his eyes were cold: "Next time you mess with me, I will make a hole in you." He slapped him on the face twice and said: "You'd better believe what I say. If you believe it, you can at least live a little longer."

After saying these harsh words, Qin Huai let go of the man who was already scared into a puddle of mud. When he glanced at the people next to him, wherever his eyes swept, those people instinctively stepped back. Qin Huai then retracted his gaze and said to Yu Zibai while untying his gloves: "Let's go home." The gloves had to be taken out and washed after seeing blood. He didn't know if it would scare Nan Nan so much that she wouldn't let him go out alone.

When they left, no one dared to stop them. After they left, those people looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to drag Jiang Ping to find his cousin Gou Xintong. The one with the broken hand and the one with the broken head were also helped up by others. At this time, they were so seriously injured that it was not known whether they could be saved.

On the way back, Qin Huai glanced at Yu Zibai and asked, "Do you think I was too harsh?"

Yu Zibai hummed without any false politeness: "It's a bit unexpected. I thought you were a calm person."

Qin Huai smiled when he heard this: "It is precisely because I am a calm person that I can be ruthless. Now it is different from before. Believe it or not, that guy will take a detour when he sees me in the future. The pain I gave him will make him remember it for the rest of his life. Yu Zibai, if you hold back on others, they will not thank you, and your holding back will only make the people around you bear more responsibility. For example, today, I only needed to focus on dealing with the leader. For example, last time, you held back on the Zhang family in the hope of keeping things peaceful. In the end, did the result go as you wished? No, I said this not to hope that you will become a fierce thug, but I hope you can understand what consequences your reaction will bring to the people around you in certain situations."

Seeing Yu Zibai pursed his lips and said nothing, Qin Huai said: "In the future, when you and Jian Chu encounter this kind of situation together, if you don't take on more responsibility, who do you think will be the one who takes on more responsibility?"

The two returned home in silence. Qin Huai was worried about the blood on his gloves, and Yu Zibai was reflecting on it. Since they would not go out again after this trip, they did not need to be careful when going upstairs. Before they opened the iron gate, it was opened from the inside. When Mu Nan saw the trailer full of things, he said happily, "What a rich harvest today!"

Jian Chu hurriedly said in the room: "Come in quickly, leave the things outside and we will clean them up later, you guys come in and cool down first."

Mu Nan dragged an electric fan over. They had just come back from outside and climbed two flights of stairs. They were probably too hot to handle. Using the air conditioner alone would definitely not be enough to cool them down. So he used the fan to blow on them. But he was afraid that they would catch a cold. Mu Nan was busy looking for towels. He handed one to Jian Chu and used the other to wipe Qin Huai's sweat. "You must be so hot. Do you want some water? I have iced some water. Can I get you some?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "Sit down for a while and drink."

Yu Zibai said, "We've made two trips today and are tired. We'll go over first and leave the things here with you. We'll clean them up tomorrow."

Mu Nan originally wanted to let Yu Zibai go first as he was tired, and he and Jian Chu sorted out the things. After all, they were both tired, and he and Jian Chu were in high spirits staying at home. But seeing that Yu Zibai looked a little strange, he didn't say anything, and looked at Qin Huai, asking with his eyes if something had happened.

Qin Huai threw the towel on Mu Nan's head: "I'm going to take a shower first."

Jian Chu and the others also went directly over to the balcony. Mu Nan stood in the living room and looked around blankly, feeling that something was a little strange.

Yu Zibai took a shower. Jian Chu carefully looked at his face: "What's wrong? What happened?" Ever since Yu Zibai came back, he felt something was not right. That kind of depression did not seem to be just due to tiredness.

Yu Zibai looked at Jian Chu: "Last time you had a fight with the Zhang family, I held you back, were you angry?"

Jian Chu didn't expect that Yu Zibai would bring up the past so long ago. He was stunned for a moment, then said casually, "I am a little angry, but only a little at that time. But I know you are thinking about our neighbors and it's not appropriate to make enemies. You are right. You know I am an impulsive person. Sometimes when I get angry, I can't control myself..."

Yu Zibai: "I'm sorry."

Jian Chu was interrupted by Yu Zibai's "I'm sorry" before he finished speaking, which even surprised and stunned him. Since he met Yu Zibai, Yu Zibai had never said these three words to him. Of course, Yu Zibai didn't need to say them, because he had always been on the edge of breaking the law and discipline, and it was Yu Zibai who pulled him back on the right track of life, taught him how to behave, helped him with his studies and life, corrected his thoughts that were on the edge of danger, and pointed out some of his mistakes in behavior. So Yu Zibai said sorry to him, which made Jian Chu unable to recover for a while.

Yu Zibai sighed, "It's my fault. When I met you, you were not even 18 years old, and you were just a freshman in college. With that kind of family, I gradually unconsciously regarded teaching you as a responsibility. We are equal individuals, but we started with an unequal relationship. This made me ignore a lot and take a lot for granted."

Jian Chu was a little confused and a little surprised: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Yu Zibai: "Today I met a group of people blocking my way outside. They were all people who lost their homes after the earthquake. I thought that I could just protect their things and teach them a lesson, but Qin Huai taught me a lesson. Daodao, are you really annoyed by my personality? I always want to take a step back and make things small."

Jian Chu felt a little uncomfortable facing this kind of situation: "Not really, we have known each other for so many years, I don't know your personality, it's just, sometimes it's really annoying, always wanting to control me, but sometimes I think it's good to have someone who can control me, but now the situation is different, taking a step back may lead to others taking advantage of it."

Yu Zibai: "What are you going to do if I don't realize my problem?"

Jian Chu sighed: "What else can I do? You be the good guy, and I'll be the bad guy." Anyway, he himself is not a person with very positive values, so he has no psychological burden to do the dirty work. It is not easy for someone like Yu Zibai who grew up in rules and regulations to break them. It was no problem for him before, he was soft-hearted, kind and had the ability to protect himself, but it is no longer possible now. The chaotic order is no longer suitable to be constrained by these rules and regulations, but a person's character cannot be changed overnight, so take it slowly, and society will always teach Yu Zibai to be a new person.

Yu Zibai pulled Jian Chu into his arms and hugged her. He felt that the luckiest thing in his life was that he had picked up Jian Chu.

Jian Chu, who was held in Yu Zibai's arms, suddenly had a red face.

Mu Nan, who was unaware of the sudden and rapid development of their relationship next door, was taking out an electric rice cooker from the kitchen. He had put the electric rice cooker in the kitchen when Qin Huai and the others came back for the first time. Later, Jian Chu came over and helped him clean up, so he didn't have time to take care of it. Now that everyone had left, he continued his sushi business.

When Qin Huai came out of the shower, Mu Nan turned his head to take a look and saw him holding washed gloves. He immediately became alert: "Why are you washing gloves? Did you have a fight with someone?" If there was no fight, the gloves wouldn't get dirty if they were kept in the bag. These were not labor protection gloves, so he wouldn't wear these fighting gloves to move bricks.

Qin Huai said: "I was robbed on the way back, but don't worry, I wasn't hurt at all. I beat the other person badly."

Mu Nan quickly put down the rice in his hand. He wanted to check Qin Huai's body, but his hands were sticky, so he said, "Turn around so I can see."

Qin Huai was not wearing a shirt, just a pair of shorts, so he walked up to Mu Nan and turned around twice to show him that he had no injuries at all. Those rabble didn't even touch a piece of his flesh, so how could they hurt him?

After confirming that Qin Huai was not injured, Mu Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Are there many people stopping you? Are they from our area?"

Qin Huai said: "It should be. I don't know when a small force appeared here, but they are just a group of people who gathered together temporarily. They are very scattered and none of them can fight."

The first person that Mu Nan thought of was the leader of the trading group who later gathered some forces. Anyway, in the previous life, there were quite a lot of people who followed that leader. Because there were so many of them, some people were afraid of being retaliated against, so most of them would choose to avoid it. He was also robbed in his previous life, but he was alone and couldn't fight, so he could only swallow his anger and walk away, so as not to lose his things and get beaten up. Although it was not the leader who made the move, Mu Nan didn't have any good feelings towards him.

Mu Nan said: "You should avoid them in the future. Even if they gather in small groups, a large number of people will be a problem. If they rush over, it will be useless even if you are a good fighter."

Qin Huai sat next to Mu Nan: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Mu Nan cut a piece of freshly rolled sushi and fed it to Qin Huai's mouth: "Try it, I added barbecued meat and apple strips in it, how does it taste?"

Qin Huai opened his mouth and ate it. The spicy aroma of the barbecue and the crispness of the apples were surprisingly a good match, so he nodded: "Not bad, it's not a dark dish."

Mu Nan chuckled: "We have pineapple rice and mango rice, so why can't we have apple rice? I can eat rice, meat, and fruit at the same time. How convenient."

Mu Nan put away all the things after finishing cooking the rice in the rice cooker. This sushi was for later when it was inconvenient to eat, but not now. Thinking that Qin Huai must be very tired after running two trips today, moving things and fighting, he took a pot of chicken soup, sweet and sour spare ribs and barbecue, as well as two refreshing side dishes, and filled a large bowl with the leftover rice and handed it to Qin Huai: "Eat quickly, and I'll give you a massage to relax you after you finish eating."

Looking at his attentive appearance, Qin Huai stretched out his hand and pinched his face: "Do you know what you look like now?"

Mu Nan turned to look at him: "Like what?"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Like a diligent young wife."

Mu Nan slapped his hand away: "I'm unhappy, the kind that can't be coaxed."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry, my little wife is fine."

Mu Nan held the bowl with his back to Qin Huai, and said that it was impossible to coax her.

When it was almost dawn, the group of people dragged Jiang Ping and several other seriously injured people back to their tent. Jiang Ping's cousin Gou Xintong lived on the eighth floor below Qin Huai and his family. He was a salesman before the world became chaotic. At that time, he formed a trading group. The original intention of establishing the group was indeed to maximize resources, but gradually he discovered the benefits of when the power of the group leader became stronger. After the earthquake, he discovered the benefits of being convinced and obeyed by others after the organization and coordination. It was a taste of power that he had never felt before. The right to speak brought by this power made him feel like a superior person.

He was not unaware of some of the things his cousin did outside, but since they were dealing with outsiders, their own people could benefit from it and even have a higher degree of trust in him. So Gou Xintong turned a blind eye to some of Jiang Ping's behaviors. However, he did not expect that the idiot did not know how to estimate the other party when choosing a target. He should not rush up to someone who is obviously not easy to provoke.

Looking at the bloody and dying Jiang Ping, Gou Xintong concealed the disgust and irritation in his eyes and replaced his face with worry: "How did it become like this?"

The people nearby quickly recounted what had happened before, and then they were worried that Gou Xintong would pursue the matter. After all, his cousin was beaten like that, and they didn't dare to step forward, and they didn't suffer any injuries. They were afraid that Gou Xintong would blame them for not stepping forward to help during the fight. However, that man was really cruel, and it was obvious that he didn't care about his life, so they didn't dare to step forward at all.

To their surprise, Gou Xintong seemed to have no intention of pursuing their case. He just asked people to help carry Jiang Ping to the medical team, and went to get a few bottles of water and some food. The medical team was short of medicines now, and there was no way to save the people who were rescued from inside. Only the country could save their lives. For people like this who were injured because of territorial disputes, it was not known whether they were willing to be treated, so they brought some things to see if they could be used as medical expenses.

Seeing that Gou Xintong only asked about the appearance of the two people and did not respond in any other way, someone could not help but ask: "Should we ask the soldiers to help with this matter?"

Gou Xintong glanced at the man and said, "Then when they ask you, what do you say? You first wanted to steal the supplies that others found, but you were outskilled and got beaten?"

The man immediately shut up, thinking, I would accept a normal beating, but this is almost beating to death, this is my cousin, after such a big earthquake, how many people can be with their relatives, he doesn't believe Gou Xintong can really bear this. But it's none of his business if he doesn't believe it, but thinking that he is a little bit frustrated today, he can't help but have some instigation in his words.

Gou Xintong naturally couldn't swallow this, but he was not a fool. It was obvious that he could just beat them up and drive them away, but he chose to be so cruel and only targeted Jiang Ping. To put it bluntly, it was a show of power. He knew his own abilities. If he was really capable, he wouldn't be in his thirties and still be a salesman who had to work in the wind and rain. It was even more impossible to rely on the people who relied on him now. As long as the other party tried to kill him, he might not be able to rely on any of the people on his side. So now he could only accept this show of power. At least until he was really capable and could mobilize people, he had no way to get rid of this anger.
