Liu Feiyue took Liu Erxi and Liu Sanchang into the mountains.
Dong Cang was interested in joining their little gang and going with them.
Liu Feiyue did not agree. He did not intend to let too many people know that secret, especially someone like Dong Cang, who had not yet gained his full trust.
Dong Cang was somewhat self-aware and didn't care. After watching Liu Feiyue and the other two leave, he turned around and went back. As he walked, he was excitedly guessing how much of a kickback Liu Feiyue would give him.
Just then, a person suddenly ran out from the side and blocked his way.
Dong Cang wasn't paying attention and bumped right into it. He only realized what was happening after the impact, looked up, and yelled, "Are you blind? Can't you even walk past me?"
Upon seeing the person blocking his way, Dong Cang was instantly stunned: "Big brother? What are you doing here?"
The one who arrived was Dong Cheng, who had secretly followed him out earlier.
Dong Cheng glanced in the direction Liu Feiyue and the other two had left, then looked coldly at Dong Cang and asked, "Those three were your accomplices who stole things with you?"
Dong Cang quickly realized what was happening, his face flushed with anger, and said, "You were following me?"
"If I hadn't followed you, how would I have known you would do something so disloyal, actually colluding with outsiders to steal from your sister-in-law?" Dong Cheng said angrily, pointing his finger at Dong Cang's nose.
Dong Cang slapped Dong Cheng's hand away, his neck stiff, and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that those three are my accomplices? Shut up if you have no evidence. Even the public security brigade can't do anything to us, what can you do?"
Dong Cang said this with a disdainful look on his face.
Dong Cheng looked coldly at Dong Cang and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go find the Public Security Brigade to investigate you thoroughly." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Upon hearing this, Dong Cang panicked and quickly pulled the person back: "No, you can't go."
Dong Cheng forcefully shook off Dong Cang's hand, looked at Dong Cang with disdain in his eyes: "As long as no evidence is found, we won't do anything to you. What are you afraid of?"
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking.
Dong Cang stood there, stunned, watching Dong Cang's departing figure. Thinking about the contempt in his eyes just now, he suddenly felt that his older brother had become somewhat unfamiliar. It shouldn't be like this. He should be like before, keeping secrets for him and finding ways to clean up his mess.
Dong Cang felt a chill run down his spine, and a nameless panic gripped his heart. He was especially alarmed by the trouble Dong Cheng might cause Liu Feiyue if he really went to the Public Security Brigade, and the potential impact on him. His face turned deathly pale.
No, we can't let him go.
A ruthless glint flashed in Dong Cang's eyes. He glanced around and quickly spotted half a brick on the ground not far away. He immediately picked it up and rushed towards Dong Cheng, shouting, "Dong Cheng..."
Dong Cheng had no suspicions. Hearing Dong Cang calling from behind, he turned around and saw a brick right in front of him. With a loud "bang," it smashed into his forehead.
Dong Cheng was a little stunned. Before he could react, the hammer slammed down again with a loud bang.
Dong Cheng's vision went black, and he collapsed. Before losing consciousness, he saw Dong Cang's狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face, and a chill ran through him. He had given so much for him, yet all he wanted was for his death. He was his own brother, his own brother...
When Dong Cang saw Dong Cheng lying on the ground, his entire head stained red with blood, he finally realized he was scared. He looked around and, seeing that no one was watching, immediately took off running and disappeared.
Not far away, at Liu Feiyue's house, Lu Xuemei saw that Liu Feiyue and the others had left, so she quietly opened the door, peeked out, and saw Dong Cang fleeing in a panic. There was a person lying on the ground where he ran away.
She rushed over to see what had happened, only to find a strange man lying in a pool of blood. She immediately screamed in terror, "Something terrible has happened! Someone's been killed..."
In the woods, it was Zhao Bin's first time sleeping outdoors, and he was very unaccustomed to it. He couldn't sleep well at night, and as soon as it was dawn, he got up listlessly and squatted down next to Gao Mingcheng, who was still energetic after keeping watch for half the night. He asked weakly, "How did you manage to stay so energetic after not sleeping all night?"
Gao Mingcheng remained highly focused, keeping an eye on his surroundings as he said, "It's nothing. On the front lines, going several days without sleep is common."
Zhao Bin shook his head regretfully and said, "I can't compare. I don't have your kind of iron will."
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him: "Why don't you come to the army and hone your skills? You can do it too."
Zhao Bin shuddered, but still shook his head: "Never mind, I know my own limitations."
"You must have a lot of tough jobs in the public security brigade, right?" Gao Mingcheng said.
“It’s not the same level as yours,” Zhao Bin said, rubbing his stomach. “Do you still have the perm noodles you ate yesterday? I’m hungry.”
"...You ate five pancakes by yourself yesterday, how come you're hungry again so soon?" Gao Mingcheng said speechlessly.
"It's been a whole night, and that little bit of noodles has been digested long ago," Zhao Bin said matter-of-factly.
Gao Mingcheng: "..."
"You go first..." Gao Mingcheng had just opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the woods ahead.
There's something going on.
The two men's expressions simultaneously hardened, and they prostrated themselves.
