Chapter 58: Awesome Warrior
Just as the skinny guy was about to throw the lighter at their heads, the black dog suddenly came back. It spotted the skinny guy's hand, lunged out, and bit his wrist. The lighter fell to the ground before it could be thrown. If it caught fire at that moment, the skinny guy would perish with it.
"Well done, dumpling!"
The skinny man screamed in pain and rolled on the ground with Blackie, fighting desperately. Old Zheng and He Yong took the opportunity to use their mouths to untie the ropes on the other man's hands, successfully freeing him. The two of them worked together to subdue the skinny man, tied his hands behind his back, and threw him back into the car.
"Old Zheng, this time we're going to go all out!"
He Yong grabbed an iron pipe from the car, and Lao Zheng also picked up a handy tool.
"Twenty years have passed, it's time to vent our anger!"
Feng Weida and He Xiuli were trapped in the second-floor living room. The doorway was covered in gasoline, and Wu Renxing lit a lighter.
"You guys go first," Wu Renxing said to Qiang and the other two.
Zhang Hao, Qiang Ge, and Fatty went downstairs first.
"Xiuli, I was the one who started following you from the beginning. Didn't expect that, did you?" Wu Renxing said with a hint of smugness.
"Why did you do this? Our He family has treated you well." He Xiuli didn't understand.
"To be honest, you've treated me well, but your dad has never given me a kind look. Of course, that's not important. Who told you to be rich? You've got money but you won't let me spend it, so I have to take matters into my own hands."
"So you married me in the first place just for money?" He Xiuli couldn't believe it.
"You can think of it that way," Wu Renxing said. "If Xiaoxue hadn't appeared, I could have tolerated you for another two years. I've had enough of you. You do everything in the same routine, there's never any novelty in it, and you never express your emotions, like a block of wood... Now, with this money, I can finally do whatever I want. See you in the next life!"
Wu Renxing threw down the lighter and turned to leave.
The doorway burst into flames instantly, the fire sealing the entrance and blocking the only way out.
"Mr. He, jump out the window!"
As Feng Weida spoke, he pulled Feng Weida towards the window, but the flames, carried by the gasoline, instantly engulfed the window, and thick smoke drifted in with the fire.
In desperation, Feng Weida could only soak a tissue in the water in his cup and cover his mouth and nose with He Xiuli.
"Xiao Feng, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Mr. He, please don't say that. I did all this willingly. I've said it before, I'd be willing to die to protect you!"
Suddenly, Feng Weida had an idea. He picked up a 60-70 inch plasma TV and threw it with all his might at the window. With a crash, the glass was smashed open, creating a large hole big enough for a person to escape.
"Mr. He, I'll go down first. Don't worry, jump. I'll catch you!"
Having found a way out of a desperate situation, He Xiuli trusted Feng Weida and nodded vigorously.
Feng Weida jumped down from the second floor and rolled on the ground. His previous knife wound had not fully healed, and this time the wound reopened, causing the old injury to relapse. However, he endured the pain and stood up, waving to He Xiuli upstairs.
"Mr. He, jump!"
Seeing the flames getting closer and closer behind her, He Xiuli knew she would perish in the inferno if she didn't jump. With no other option, she closed her eyes and leaped from the building. Feng Weida, anticipating He Xiuli's descent, reached out to catch her. Fortunately, the fall wasn't too high, and the force of the impact wasn't too great. Feng Weida caught He Xiuli steadily, but even so, the momentum still knocked him to the ground, leaving him beneath He Xiuli.
"Xiao Feng, are you alright?"
He Xiuli opened her eyes and found herself unharmed. She quickly went to check on Feng Weida.
"Don't worry, I'm fine—"
Feng Weida's wound reopened and started bleeding, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"You're bleeding—"
"This is just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
Feng Weida gritted his teeth and persevered.
Just as the two were talking, they saw He Yong and Lao Zheng carrying iron pipes heading straight for the living room on the first floor.
"dad--"
Unfortunately, neither of them heard it.
Feng Weida knew that Wu Renxing and his group should have reached the first floor by now, and a fierce battle was inevitable when the two sides met.
"Mr. He, call the police immediately! Don't move. I'll go check it out!"
He Xiuli then realized that she hadn't taken her phone with her when she jumped. She looked up and saw that Feng Weida was already several meters away.
Zhang Hao, Qiang Ge, and Fatty were waiting for Wu Renxing in the living room on the first floor when they ran into He Yong and Lao Zheng, and were immediately taken aback.
"You...you're not dead?" Qiang thought the skinny guy had already killed the two of them.
"Who lives and who dies is still uncertain!" Old Zheng had been harboring anger for twenty years with nowhere to vent it, and today he just happened to run into the line of fire.
"What did you do to Xiuli?" He Yong's eyes blazed with fury.
"You mean those two? They burned to death!" Zhang Hao said casually.
Without another word, He Yong and Lao Zheng shouted and rushed forward—
Brothers fight together, fathers and sons go to war together.
The friendship between He Yong and Lao Zheng, which had lasted for more than 20 years, seemed to be rekindled. You would take a punch for me, and I would take a kick for you. Although they were both old bones, they seemed to have rediscovered the feeling of youthful passion.
When Feng Weida came in, He Yong and Lao Zheng were lying on the ground with bruises and swelling, unable to move, while Zhang Hao, Qiang Ge, and Fatty were unharmed.
A flurry of actions, but the score was zero to five.
At this moment, Wu Renxing also came downstairs and was surprised to see Feng Weida.
"How did you get down?"
There's nothing we can do; this guy is a complete loser with a 0-to-5 record all year round, so he simply can't understand the amazing moves of the top players.
"Mr. He has already called the police, and they'll be there soon. Wu Renxing, you can't escape!"
Feng Weida was just trying to scare them. The enemy team had four full-power players, while our team was only one against two. We couldn't win team fights at all and could only play defensively and farm.
Just as Feng Weida finished speaking, a series of urgent police sirens sounded outside.
"police!"
Brother Qiang was the first to sense something was wrong. People in their line of work have a natural fear of this sound; it's practically ingrained in their genes.
"Don't listen to him," Wu Renxing scoffed. "She just called the police, and they're already here? Feng Weida, don't think I can't see through your little tricks. That voice is coming from a phone. I told you so, didn't I?"
Before Feng Weida could answer, a series of barking sounds came from outside. It was clearly not just one dog; it seemed the police had really arrived. Qiang Ge and Zhang Hao's expressions changed upon hearing the noise, and no one wanted to play with Wu Renxing anymore.
"Get out of here immediately!"
At Zhang Hao's signal, he, Qiang Ge, and Fatty took off running outside.
Wu Renxing reacted a beat too slow, and in an instant, everyone around him left: "It can't be that bad—"
By the time he tried to run away, Feng Weida had already blocked his way.
"Feng Weida, I'll give you 100,000 yuan, let me go."
Feng Weida shook his head.
"Two hundred thousand? Five hundred thousand...one million!"
This has already pushed Wu Renxing to his limits.
"Mr. Wu, from the day I joined the company, I secretly told myself that I had to catch the murderer! This isn't about money!"
"What is that?"
"To repay a debt of gratitude!"
"Whose kindness should we repay?"
"To repay your kindness in recognizing my talent."
"So, you arrested me to repay a debt of gratitude?"
"Something doesn't seem right..."
