Chaos
Shan Yun stood at the stairs. He had no idea what was going on. He only saw a room with a closed door. He could hear sounds of fighting and rummaging coming from inside. He recognized the voices of Jiang Qi and Zou Yue.
Outside the room, Zou Weichen was standing there, his face full of anxiety and anger, hammering on the door.
"Ah Chen, did Jiang Qi bully Sister Qiyue again?"
Shan Yun ran towards him.
Zou Weichen pulled Shan Yun upstairs without saying a word.
"What's the matter? Ah Chen, why are you pulling me? We need to stop Jiang Qi. Sister Yue is being bullied now, Ah Chen!"
Zou Weichen pulled Shan Yun to the terrace, "You can't come, at least not now."
After he finished speaking, he walked inside. Shan Yun chased after him, but it was too late. Zou Weichen closed the door and locked it.
"Achen, open the door. What are you going to do? Don't be impulsive. Open the door quickly!" Shan Yun knocked on the door.
"I don't want you to get involved. Go back now. I don't want you to get hurt."
Zou Weichen leaned his forehead against the door and spoke weakly, then immediately turned around and went downstairs.
"Achen!"
"Wei Chen!"
"Zou Weichen, open the door!"
Shan Yun knocked on the door several times, but no one answered him. He walked around the terrace several times but couldn't find the entrance to go downstairs. He turned around, crawled back to his room, and rushed downstairs.
Zou Weichen just ran to the stairs and looked back at the door on the top floor. There was no knocking sound, so he felt relieved.
"Bang~"
He paused when he heard the sound, turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and when the second "clang" sounded, he rushed downstairs.
Zou Weichen just ran to the door of Zou Yue's room and kicked it open, then he saw Jiang Qi pushing Zou Yue to the ground, cursing at him, and it was again about money.
It seems that Jiang Qi has been going out early and coming back late these days. He is addicted to gambling. Now he lost money and came back home and couldn't find the money, so he started beating people.
Zou Yue rubbed his injured shoulder.
"Sister..." Zou Weichen looked at Zou Yue, and when he saw Zou Yue's appearance, he glared fiercely at Jiang Qi, who was still looking for money behind their backs, and his clenched fists made a "clicking" sound.
Jiang Qi also turned around and saw Zou Weichen.
Zou Yue shook his head at Zou Weichen. When he saw Zou Weichen take a step forward, he immediately stood up, pushed the door open, then closed it, holding the door to prevent Zou Weichen from coming in.
"Okay!" Jiang Qi walked towards Zou Yue step by step, "I need some money and you say you don't have it, but you have money to send that kid to college, and he's eating and drinking for free here, do you have me in your eyes!"
The last sentence was almost like a roar.
"Get out of here!"
"No, you can't touch him. He is my brother. I won't allow you to hurt him!" Zou Yueming blocked the door. "You promised me that you didn't care if I took my brother with me. You went back on your word."
"Sister, open the door, sister..." Zou Weichen knocked on the door. He didn't dare to kick the door again, for fear of hurting Zou Yue.
"It's fine if he's eating and living for free, but now that he's an adult, he's still hanging around. Where did you hide the money you used to support him?"
"My brother never spent a penny of your money."
"Jiang Qi, I'm warning you, if you dare to touch my sister, I will be rude to you..."
No matter how hard Zou Weichen knocked, the door remained motionless, and only the sound of quarreling came from inside.
"Give me the money!"
"I have no money!"
Jiang Qi, who had been unable to find the money, became furious and grabbed Zou Yue's hand and threw him forward. Zou Yue was thrown onto the bed, and before he could turn around, Jiang Qi picked him up again and pushed him onto the closet.
The pain in Zou Yue's back instantly passed through her nerves to her forehead. Before she could even scream, Jiang Qi grabbed her neck again, "Where's the money?"
"I, I didn't, have..." The last word was left unsaid.
Jiang Qi was so strong that her mind went blank and her face turned from red to white. She weakly slapped the beast's arms with her hands, using all her strength to pry open the hands that were pinching her.
Jiang Qi pinched Zou Yue with one hand and waved his palm with the other, landing accurately on Zou Yue's face. Zou Yue's cheeks turned red in a few seconds, with blood spots and blood flowing from her nose.
She used up her last bit of strength, raised her leg and kicked Jiang Qi's thigh. Although the kick went astray, it made Jiang Qi loosen his grip a little when he dodged.
Zou Yue’s resistance made Jiang Qi completely lose his mind. When Zou Yue kicked him for the second time, he grabbed Zou Yue’s leg and pulled it back while backing away.
Zou Yue fell along the closet, his body tilted, and his eye hit the bedside table, bleeding profusely.
The door was slammed open and Zou Weichen rushed in. Seeing the blood on Zou Yue's face, he rushed up without saying a word and beat Jiang Qi so hard that he retreated repeatedly.
The two men wrestled with each other.
Jiang Qi had been drinking and was not so clear-headed. After being beaten several times by Zou Weichen, he was in a daze and wanted to pull Zou Yue.
Zou Weichen pulled him out of the room and pushed him to the ground.
Jiang Qi finally came to his senses. He saw Zou Weichen standing straight, looking down at him. He stood up, hugged him, and bumped into him.
"You little brat, you've grown wings and learned to fight back, right? I'll show you who has the final say."
Jiang Qi used to be a gangster, and he often hung out in places where all kinds of people gathered. He was very resistant to beatings and was very ruthless when he attacked.
Zou Weichen was still rational and knew that if he really pushed Jiang Qi into a corner, the person who would suffer in the end would be his sister. He was basically just defending himself and did not take any action.
But Jiang Qi was drunk and had not yet vented his resentment for being pushed to the ground by Zou Weichen. He punched and kicked Zou Weichen without mercy.
Zou Yue ran over to stop him.
Jiang Qi was in urgent need of money, but now he had not received the money and was beaten by his brother-in-law who ate and drank for free at home. Zou Yue tried to stop him but just refused to obey him. He reached out to take the wrench from the cabinet and hit him on the head with his backhand.
Zou Weichen rushed over to protect Zou Yue and was hit on the head.
The brother and sister fell to the ground. Jiang Qi spat and was not going to let her go. He pulled Zou Yue away and hit her again and again.
Jiang Qi was really mad this time, and beat him to death without thinking.
Zou Weichen saw Jiang Qi beating Zou Yue before, just a few slaps and kicks and then stopped. This was the first time he witnessed Jiang Qi losing his mind and beating people.
Every blow from Jiang Qi felt like a blow to his heart. He clenched his fists, bit his lips, and the blood on his forehead flowed down his face. He didn't bother to wipe it off. He looked around the entire living room, stood up, and picked up the weapon.
He rushed over, grabbed Jiang Qi, pushed him to the ground, and raised the weapon in his hand.
"No, Xiaochen, no!" Zou Yue shouted.
Zou Weichen paused for a moment, and before he could see Zou Yue clearly, he was hugged by someone and rushed to the side.
"Achen, calm down, you can't do anything."
Shan Yun held Zou Weichen in his arms and first glanced at Jiang Qi, who was still lying on the ground gasping for breath in shock. Then he looked at Zou Yue and saw that she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had stopped Zou Weichen.
Finally, he looked up at the person who was trying to calm down.
"Ayun?"
Zou Weichen looked at Shan Yun who was still holding him. He lowered his head at the sharp weapon in his hand, loosened his grip, and the weapon fell out of his hand and rolled on the ground.
He actually had such an idea.
He still couldn't control his impulse.
How did he become such a person?
Zou Weichen sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes dull, as if he had lost his soul. Only his mouth moved slightly, but no one knew what he was saying.
"It's okay, you didn't do it, you stopped in time, it's okay." Shan Yun reached out and threw the weapon into the corner, still holding him and patting his back.
Jiang Qi sat up, looked around at the people, then saw Zou Yue's bag on the cabinet in the living room. He stood up and searched through it, found some cash, glanced at a few people, and staggered out.
Zou Weichen rested his forehead on Shan Yun's shoulder, his whole body trembling and he seemed to be sobbing.
He is regretting his incompetence and his impulsiveness.
But not long after, he raised his head, smiled weakly at Shan Yun, climbed up and walked over to support Zou Yue.
"Sister, where are you hurt?"
Zou Yue shed tears, raised her hand to wipe the blood off Zou Weichen's forehead, and shook her head, "Sister is fine, but you, sister will bandage you."
Just as she was about to get up, she was held down by Zou Weichen.
"I know. The medicine box is in the cupboard."
Before Zou Weichen got up, Shan Yun got up first, opened the cabinet and took out the medicine box.
The two of them worked together to help Zou Yue up and applied medicine to his wounds.
None of the three spoke, and the only sounds in the quiet room were their movements.
