Huangmao's nose was torn open, and blood mixed with gasoline dripped down his cheek.
Being a debt collector for a loan company, he was no bluffing idiot, and he knew a few martial arts moves. He realized the gasoline had been poured on his head, and knew that if it started, it could be disfigured or even fatal. So, regardless of the stinging pain on his face, he kicked the lighter aside.
Without the fire source, there was no threat, and the remaining brothers also surrounded him. Some punched and kicked him, while others picked up things and smashed them. Curses and shouts rose one after another.
Even though the scene was so chaotic, Lin Lidong never let go of his left hand that was holding the collar of his yellow woolen coat. He endured the punches and kicks and reached out with his right hand to grab another lighter from the shoe cabinet next to him.
Huangmao's face turned green. When he saw Lin Lidong's eyes, he knew that this guy was not trying to scare him. If he had the chance, he would definitely burn his head into a big fireball.
The space was narrow and there were many people around. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he resorted to a ruthless move. He fumbled for a small knife from his side, and without even looking at the body part, he raised it and stabbed it behind him.
Lin Lidong saw all this, ducked his head to avoid the blade, let go of the yellow-haired man's collar, and punched him on the wrist. The yellow-haired man let go in pain, and the knife fell out of his hand, just in time to be caught by Lin Lidong.
Without the slightest hesitation, he thrust his force downwards, piercing the knife directly into the yellow-haired man's shoulder! At the same time, his other hand lit the lighter again, and the slender flame suddenly danced before everyone's eyes!
At this moment, the half-closed door was opened and the police rushed in. They looked over the gangsters and saw Lin Lidong and Huang Mao, and shouted: "Stop!"
The police were called by the neighbor next door. From the moment the yellow-haired man started banging on the door, the neighbor across the street was alarmed. Seeing the scoundrel-like appearance of the men, they knew they were up to no good. Worried that Lin Lidong and his sister would be in danger, they secretly called the police. Unexpectedly, the troublemaker, the yellow-haired man, would become the one who needed to be rescued...
The strong smell of gasoline in the house made the police realize Huangmao's current situation. They shouted at Lin Lidong to put down the lighter. The thugs around him immediately became obedient when they saw the police. They stood by and no one dared to take action again.
Huang Mao knew that he was more right in today's matter. After all, Lin Lidong and his sister were unharmed, but he had become such a miserable state. So he said in a deep voice: "Boy, you are finished, I will fucking..."
Before he could finish, Lin Lidong sneered disdainfully. Instead of extinguishing the flame, he thrust it forward. The gasoline instantly ignited upon contact with the flames. The yellow-haired man screamed and fell to the ground, slapping his head, which had become a ball of fire.
The police and several younger brothers also rushed forward to rescue people. Without time to find water, they poured the entire pot of soup left over from the kitchen by the brother and sister on their heads.
The mineral water bottle only held 500 milliliters, and after a brief fight between several people, the gasoline evaporated, leaving not much on the yellow-haired head. Most of it was submerged in the hair.
As the pot of soup went down, the flames went out instantly. The man was fine, but his yellow hair had completely turned bald...
Half an hour later, Lin Lidong and his fellow thugs were taken to the police station, while Huang Mao was sent to the hospital for treatment. When asked about the cause of the incident, Lin Lidong did not hide anything, telling the truth in detail and freely admitting all his actions.
Although Huangmao was at fault for illegal debt collection, Lin Lidong was too cruel, which completely exceeded the concept of self-defense and became intentional injury.
The investigating police officer also knew about the situation of Lin Lidong and his sister. After taking their statements, they released the younger brothers and detained Lin Lidong according to the procedure. He sighed repeatedly and said, "Knives and fire? What were you thinking? If you kill someone to pay for his life, who will take care of your sister? Besides, how can you borrow money from a loan shark? If you don't have money for medical treatment, you can find a way..."
Lin Lidong's angular eyes froze for a moment, and he said coldly, "What are you thinking of? They always say that if you have trouble, go to the police. I want to borrow 30,000 yuan from you. Are you willing to lend it to me?"
This retort left the policeman speechless. He sighed and turned away.
Lin Lixin was quite frightened by what happened during the day. When he learned that Lin Lidong was detained by the police, he became anxious and sick again. Fortunately, he was found by his neighbors and sent to the hospital in time.
Although the policeman was speechless about Lin Lidong's character, he still called on his colleagues in the police station to show their love and raised more than 10,000 yuan for Lin Lixin's medical treatment. He then informed Lin Lidong in the detention room of the situation.
Lin Lidong's pupils trembled slightly, and he said thank you a little stiffly, then sat quietly in the corner of the detention room with a complicated expression.
He wasn't moved by the police's donation, but rather by his concern for Lin Lixin's situation, and at the same time, a sense of regret built in. Indeed, if he were gone, who would take care of his sister?
Regret doesn't change anything. Not long after, Huangmao appealed, and Lin Lidong stood trial. The judge ruled that his excessive self-defense had altered the nature of the incident, resulting in intentional injury. Considering the circumstances of the incident and the fact that he had a sick family member, he ultimately received a reduced sentence of one year.
On the day of the trial, Huang Mao also arrived at the scene. His head was covered in a bandage that looked like a large volleyball, and his face was covered in burn scars. After the verdict, he deliberately approached Lin Lidong and whispered with a grimace on his face, "First People's Hospital, Cardiology Department, Bed 18, right? I've been to her for a long time, and I don't see how you can stop me this time!"
That was the hospital and ward where Lin Lixin was. When Lin Lidong heard this, his eyes turned red and he wanted to tear the yellow-haired man to pieces. Finally, three policemen worked together to hold him down.
Before going to jail, Lin Lidong excitedly told the police that his sister might be in danger and needed protection. But the police refused to listen and couldn't promise anything. After all, Lin Lixin was just a civilian, and they couldn't send two police officers to guard the ward day and night...
Because of this, on his first day in prison, Lin Lidong had already begun thinking about how to escape. Although he didn't know whether Huang Mao's words were true or not, he didn't dare to gamble with his sister. So he had to return to Lin Lixin's side as quickly as possible!
The heavily guarded prison is filled with modern technology, making it nearly impossible to escape on one's own. It wasn't until Lü Chuan was poisoned and sent to the hospital that he came up with a plan. He defeated Li Meng at a critical moment, saved You Tianfu, and used his medical skills to create a state of suspended animation, allowing him to escape the prison smoothly.
In fact, Lin Lidong's successful escape was also due to his ruthlessness. He was ruthless to others and himself. You Tianfu pressed several critical points on him and also poked a hole in his waist and abdomen.
When he woke up in the hospital's emergency room, the wounds on his waist and abdomen had been sutured, but his limbs were still very stiff. The police were asking the doctor about the details.
Lin Lidong glanced around, his gaze fixed on a window a few meters away. He didn't even know which floor he was on. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he suddenly jumped up, ran a few steps, opened the window, and dove headfirst...
