Some familiar yet unfamiliar images flashed through Manzai’s mind. On his hideous and distorted face was an ugly and cold smile.
The familiar and friendly face was covered in blood. They tried hard not to make any sound, but ultimately failed to control themselves.
"Don't be afraid, Manzi. Uncle won't feel any pain..."
"Don't look, Manzi!"
"Manzai, close your eyes!"
…
The voices of his uncles, aunts, and uncles rang in his ears, and their familiar and friendly faces, and kind and loving eyes seemed to be right in front of him.
Even when they only had one breath left, they were still comforting him, telling him not to be afraid and to close his eyes and not to look.
"Look... this is what happened to you and your mother for refusing to confess. Look carefully, you and your mother killed them all. As long as you tell me your father's name and phone number, I will let them go!"
The cold and merciless voice rang in his ears again. Every syllable was like an awl, piercing his heart heavily and causing him so much pain that he could not breathe.
Memories suddenly flooded up like a tide, and Manzi was unable to digest them for a moment. His heart ached so much that he almost suffocated, and his mind was in a mess. Sometimes the faces of his uncles and aunts, and sometimes the ugly and cruel faces of bad guys, appeared in his mind alternately.
"Take a deep breath... inhale forcefully, and exhale forcefully, and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore!"
Ruan Qiqi's voice rang in his ears. Manzai quickly took a deep breath and exhaled. After taking several deep breaths in a row, he felt much better.
Qiqi said that if you feel uncomfortable, just breathe deeply and you will feel much better. It really works.
The sound of water beside him stopped. The short man shook himself comfortably, buttoned up his clothes, and turned around to leave.
As he turned sideways, the short man glanced at Manzai with deep malice in his eyes. If the situation did not allow it, he would definitely teach this lowly Chinese a lesson.
Damn it! How dare he look down on his male dignity!
Manzai's heart felt like being pierced by a red-hot needle. The burning pain made him alert. His clear eyes became deep and he looked towards the short man.
He became more and more sensitive to smells. Although he didn't know this man, he intuitively felt that this man was a bad guy, the same bad guy who killed his uncle and aunt.
"Thank you for your care!"
Manzai suddenly bowed and spoke standard Japanese.
Qiqi said that as long as you say this to the Japanese, they will basically react as long as they are Japanese.
Sure enough, the short man was stunned for a moment, and before his brain could react, his waist had already bent. He reacted quickly, and after bending a little, he straightened up and prepared to leave.
"Little devil, I'll beat you to death!"
Manzai suddenly jumped up and kicked the Japanese soldier. He was tall and this kick sent the Japanese soldier flying and hitting the wall heavily.
"Here it comes, the psychopath is killing people!"
The Japanese soldier's ribs were almost broken. He endured the pain and ran outside, shouting for help.
Manzai's eyes turned red. He rushed forward, grabbed the man's neck with his backhand, and pulled him to the ground. He then rode on him and beat him left and right.
"I'll beat you to death! You killed Uncle Yin, Aunt Hongyu, and Uncle Yu... You bad guy, I'll beat you to death!"
Manzai's honest face became ferocious, and his clear eyes also showed more murderous intent, one after another. At first, the Japanese soldiers shouted a few times, but later they were silent.
The hotel’s security personnel arrived quickly and recognized the beaten Japanese soldier as the deputy director of a certain department, a position of not low rank.
As for Manzai, it was his first time in the hotel and they didn’t know him.
So the first reaction of these security personnel was to rush to pull Manzai and try to rescue the deputy director.
"Bad guys, you are all bad guys!"
The angry Manzai was like a mad beast, and it was no problem for him to deal with four security guards alone. The Japanese soldier who was beaten half to death on the ground struggled to get up and shouted, "He is a psychopath. How did your hotel let a psychopath in? Hurry up and take him to the mental hospital and lock him up!"
The runaway Manzai looked very ferocious, and his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone. He couldn't utter complete sentences, but just shouted "bad guy". The onlookers didn't know the truth and thought he was really a mentally ill man who was crazy and hurting people, so they all agreed to lock Manzai up.
Two fists were no match for many hands, and Manzai was finally subdued by the security personnel. He screamed angrily like a wounded beast, staring at the Japanese devils.
The Japanese soldier felt guilty and dared not look him in the face, but he had murderous intentions in his heart. He planned to quietly kill this lunatic when he was least prepared. He had worked hard to get his current position, which must not be destroyed by a lunatic!
"Qiqi, yeah yeah..."
Manzai shouted at the top of his lungs, and Qiqi told him that if he encountered danger, he should call her and Yeye, and they would come to rescue him!
Ruan Qiqi and his friends' box was at the end of the corridor, some distance away from the toilet, and Lu Ye was the first to hear it.
He was picking up a piece of pork chop and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard Manzai's cry. He immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up and left.
"Mancub is in danger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ye had already reached the door, Ruan Qiqi also stood up, and the two of them walked out quickly.
Guan Zhihua and Mr. Lou were a little slow to react, but they followed quickly. Zhang Zhiguo and his daughter were at the back and hadn't figured out the situation yet.
Two sturdy security guards escorted Manzai to the lobby, where they ran into Ruan Qiqi and the others who had rushed out.
"What are you going to do? Let him go!"
Lu Ye rushed over in one step, and with both hands, he restrained the two men. His arms felt numb and he let go involuntarily.
Manzai swiftly jumped behind Lu Ye and cried out in grievance, "Yeah, yeah, they are bad guys, the Japanese devils!"
"We are from the hotel security department. How could it be the Japanese? Comrade, your brother was causing trouble in the bathroom and beating up Deputy Director Ma of the Ministry of Commerce. That's why we attacked him."
The security personnel quickly explained that Lu Ye was wearing a military uniform and looked very impressive, so they did not dare to underestimate him and were particularly polite to him.
"I was entertaining VIPs at the hotel, and I was beaten up by this psychopath for going to the toilet. He even accused me of being a Japanese soldier. This is outrageous! If there is a psychopath, lock him up and don't let him out to hurt people. He's like a mad dog. It's really unlucky!"
Deputy Director Ma cleaned himself up a bit, but he was still in a very sorry state, with a bruised face and torn clothes. He pointed at Manzai in frustration, looking aggrieved as if he had been wronged.
"Little devil, I'll beat you to death!"
Manzai went berserk again and pounced forward with a roar. Before Deputy Director Ma could withdraw his hand, he was pinned to the ground and beaten violently.
"Give me back my Aunt Hongyu, Uncle Yu, and Uncle Yin. You killed them, you bad guy..."
As Manzai was beaten, tears came to his eyes. Gentle Aunt Hongyu would tell him interesting stories, handsome Uncle Yin would teach him arithmetic, and Uncle Yu, who wore glasses, like a father, would teach him to read and recite poems.
But they all died, died in front of him, and died miserably.
"I'm going to beat you to death...ah...I'm going to beat you to death..."
The furious Manzai waved his fists again and again. He wanted to avenge Aunt Hongyu and the others and kill these hateful enemies!
The security guard tried to stop him but was stopped by Mr. Lou.
"I'm Lou Boxiang, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
Mr. Lou spoke in a calm tone. He believed in his son and would definitely not wrongly accuse an innocent person.
Xiangjiang Hotel is the most upscale hotel in Tanzhou City. Important VIPs are basically received by the hotel. As the hotel's security personnel, they are very familiar with the important figures in Tanzhou City. When they heard the name of Mr. Lou, they immediately fell silent, their attitude became respectful, and they no longer cared about Deputy Director Ma's life or death.
With the old leader taking care of things, what else do they have to worry about? It’s none of their business even if they are beaten to death!
"I know what Manzai went through during those three days. I know!"
Guan Zhihua's eyes suddenly turned red, his voice choked, and he looked at Deputy Director Ma with hatred in his eyes.
