—————————————
Zhou Ziqian hasn't been home for three days.
Ever since the Zhou family went bankrupt, he has been like a beast cornered, sinking into alcohol and anger.
He smashed the glass door of Gu Group, beat up reporters who talked about him behind his back, and even almost attacked a police officer in the police station - if Lin Man hadn't used the last bit of his connections to get him out, he might have been thrown into the detention center long ago.
But tonight is different.
Tonight, he brought five brothers, carrying machetes and chains, and stood at the door of Zhao Laosi's casino.
"Brother Qian, are you really going to do this?" The yellow-haired younger brother swallowed his saliva, "There are people behind Zhao Laosi..."
Zhou Ziqian said nothing, but crushed the cigarette butt fiercely in his palm. The burning pain sobered him up and reminded him of the last words his father had said on the phone before he died.
"Ziqian, protect your mother and your sister."
He kicked open the door to the casino.
The casino was filled with smoke. Zhao Laosi was playing cards with a woman in his arms, and there were stacks of cash on the table.
Zhou Ziqian's machete hit the gambling table directly.
Sawdust flew, chips scattered all over the floor. Gamblers screamed and fled in all directions, and Zhao Laosi's men surrounded them with weapons in hand.
"Young Master Zhou?" Zhao Laosi narrowed his eyes, his gold teeth gleaming sickeningly in the light. "Why, the Zhou family is ruined, and you're here to beg for food?"
Zhou Ziqian didn't waste any time and chopped at Zhao Laosi's head with a knife!
Zhao Laosi jerked back, the blade scraping across his nose, leaving a trail of blood. He furiously flipped the table over and pulled a bayonet from his waist: "Kill him!"
A melee broke out.
Zhou Ziqian was like a mad beast, blood and flesh flying wherever his machete passed. He had been hit by a steel pipe in his back, and his ribs might have been broken, but he felt no pain—only the boiling blood roaring in his veins.
The yellow-haired boy was hit in the face by a chain, and his teeth and blood spurted out. Zhou Ziqian backhandedly chopped the man's shoulder with a knife, grabbed the yellow-haired boy, and rushed out the door: "Let's go!"
Behind him, Zhao Laosi's roar could be heard: "Zhou Ziqian! I will wipe out your entire family tonight!"
Zhou Ziqian knew that Zhao Laosi would take revenge, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
As soon as they rushed out of the casino, they saw three vans speeding towards the apartment.
"Fuck!" Zhou Ziqian's eyes were bloodshot. "My mom and sister are still at home!"
He snatched the yellow-haired man's motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and sped away in the rainy night, leaving an afterimage.
The wound on his back was painful from the cold rain, but he didn't care - if Zhao Laosi's men arrived first, Lin Man and Zhou Yuan would be finished.
The motorcycle knocked over the trash can at the entrance of the alley. Zhou Ziqian fell to the ground and rolled a few times. He got up and rushed upstairs.
Sixth floor.
He heard gunshots.
The security door had been deformed. Zhou Ziqian kicked it open, and the scene before him froze his blood.
Lin Man was pinned against the wall by two thugs, with blood on her forehead; Zhou Yuan huddled in a corner, holding a gun, but the bullets were all gone; Zhao Laosi was walking towards her with a bayonet in his hand.
"Zhao Laosi!!"
Zhou Ziqian’s roar made everyone turn around.
The next second, the machete chopped into the shoulder of the nearest thug. Zhou Ziqian grabbed the man's hair and slammed him against the coffee table! The glass shattered, and blood splattered.
Zhao Laosi turned around with a smirk and said, "That's perfect. It saves me from having to look for them one by one!"
The bayonet cut through the air, Zhou Ziqian dodged sideways and punched Zhao Laosi on the temple with his backhand.
The two men rolled to the ground and knocked over the TV cabinet.
Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to pick up the fruit knife on the ground and stabbed a gangster in the back.
Lin Man grabbed a desk lamp and smashed the kneecap of another thug.
The living room became a hell.
