Chapter Fifteen: Yinfei's Story

  It's okay, just accept it!

  Tang Feng and the others were not foolish people, but the situation in front of them left the four of them helpless. The girl didn't listen to their persuasions at all, only knowing how to cry, her mouth silently reciting something, as for what it was exactly, the four of them couldn't quite make out.

  Time quietly flowed out of the room, from dawn till dusk the girl had been crying, several times she fainted but was rescued by Tang Feng, it seemed that his emergency rescue knowledge learned in the army had not been forgotten.

  "Girl, stop crying and talk to us. Tell us what's going on, okay?" Tang Feng said this sentence at least ten times in a day, but each time he didn't get any response. The girl wouldn't even move. Tang Feng no longer expected the girl to respond, his questioning was just out of habit now.

  But this time the girl moved, and not only did she move, but she also spoke. She gently lifted her head, took a tissue from the bedside table to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and slowly said: "Although you killed many people yesterday, I believe you are not bad people, besides, you killed people in order to save me. Now I want to ask for your help, if you agree, I'll do whatever you want."

  When the girl spoke up, several people let out a sigh of relief and pulled over a stool to sit down beside the bed. Tang Feng nodded and said: "Go ahead and speak, as long as we can do it, we'll definitely help you with this."

  The girl looked at Tang Feng with gratitude and said: "I... I want to ask you to take me to see my brother for the last time, and then... help me kill Tian Kui."

  Tang Feng wasn't very surprised by the girl's words, he had already thought of it beforehand. Moreover, because of Xiao Zixuan's matter, Tang Feng had already treated this poor girl as his own younger sister. Alas, if Xiao Zixuan hadn't died, she would be around the same age too? Why is there so much injustice in this world? Just me alone has encountered two such incidents, it's imaginable how many similar cases are still hidden in society, do people have to be utterly ruthless just to survive? The brief moment of thought only strengthened Tang Feng's determination to unify Z country's underworld.

  He sighed and looked at the girl with affection: "I promised you, now tell me what happened."

  The girl hastily stood up and was about to kneel down in front of Tang Feng, saying: "Thank you, benefactor. As long as you help me avenge my revenge, I...I will be yours from now on."

  Xu Qiang pulled the girl back, and Tang Feng said seriously: "Miss, you don't have to be like this. I saved you without any other reason, just because you remind me of my younger sister. She was also a poor thing, just like you. You two are really alike. The only difference is that you met me and were saved by me, while she left the world early. If she were still alive, she would be about your age now."

  After finishing, Tang Feng said gently with a hint of sadness: "If you're willing, from now on we'll be your family, your brothers. As long as we're still here, we absolutely won't let you suffer even half a bit of harm."

  The girl was moved by Tang Feng's words and burst into tears again, tightly hugging him and crying out: "Thank you, thank you all, you are all good people, I, I am willing."

  The four of them laughed, they originally thought that the word "family" had gone far away from them, but now with this little sister, they were also very happy.

  "Haha, little sister, your big brother is a rough guy and doesn't understand anything else, so just call me 'brother' for now."

  The girl said with some shyness: "Ge ge."

  "Ah, haha." The four of them burst out laughing at the same time, and in this moment, they actually felt a kind of warmth.

  "Since you call us brothers, don't say anything else. From now on, whoever dares to bully you will have to ask my left fist if it's willing first." Xu Qiang said with a silly smile.

  It's clear that Guan Zhiyong is also in a good mood, he glanced at Xu Qiang and said: "Not everything can be solved by violence, okay, okay, having an extra sister should be a happy thing, but now is not the time, at least we should introduce ourselves first. We've all been calling each other brother and sister, but until now, we still don't even know each other's names."

  It wasn't until Guan Zhiyong mentioned it that everyone realized this was indeed the case.

  Xu Qiang hastily said: "I'll introduce you, this is our boss, just call him Death God Brother." As he spoke, he pointed to Tang Feng. After the girl's sweet voice called out "Death God Brother", Xu Qiang continued: "His name is Dagger, just call him Dagger Brother." Again, a sweet voice called out "Dagger Brother". Xu Qiang patted Wang Sheng and said: "He's Right Hand, just call him Right Hand Brother." After the girl finished calling Wang Sheng, without waiting for Xu Qiang to speak, she opened her mouth and said to Xu Qiang: "Left Hand Brother, you're also great."

  Xu Qiang was taken aback and said with a smile: "Hehe, little sister is really clever, I don't need to say it and you can already guess what my name is."

  The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm not clever, it's what you said earlier." This was the first time the girl had smiled all day. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all her sorrows, but this was destined to be short-lived, because some things still had to be faced.

  Xu Qiang awkwardly chuckled twice, not knowing what to say. The girl spoke again: "My name is Yin Fei, born on December 25th, 1990. In three months, I'll be 17 years old."

  Tang Feng smiled and said, "Sister is so lucky, actually having a birthday on Christmas Day. It seems that in the future, it's not possible to not give you a Christmas gift. Since your name is Yin Fei, from now on we'll call you Fei Fei."

  After a few more pleasantries, Guan Zhiyong got to the point: "Feifei, now tell us what happened from start to finish. Let's think about what we should do."

  When Yin Fei heard Guan Zhiyong's words, her smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a sorrowful expression. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said: "My family lives in the center of the town, my dad runs an internet cafe, and business has been pretty good. Everything was fine until this year when an escaped convict came to our town. This convict is Tian Kui, not a local. I also heard from my dad that he told someone he was an escaped convict during a drinking session, and the person he drank with happened to be someone my dad knew, so that's how my dad found out."

  Starting in June, this person gathered a group of thugs and began collecting protection fees. They forced my dad to pay 5,000 yuan every month. My dad is an honest man, afraid of being retaliated against, so he didn't report it to the police. Like most business owners, he chose to pay for peace. The first few months were okay, but recently, with students on summer break and more people online, business has been good. Tian Kui's younger brother came to my dad and said they wanted him to pay an additional 5,000 yuan every month. My dad was unwilling, so they beat him up. Later, when my dad really had no other choice, he thought about going to the police station to report it. But just as he walked out of the police station door, he was caught by them and taken to that abandoned factory on the west side of town, where they beat him to death."

  Tang Feng saw her struggling to hold back tears and said: "Fei Fei, if you want to cry, just cry. It will feel better after crying."

  Yin Fei shook her head resolutely: "I've cried out a lifetime's worth of tears today, and before I even spoke, I'd already made a vow to myself that from now on, I won't cry again. Actually, I know crying can't solve anything, but I just couldn't help it. I don't want to be a weak person, because weak people always get bullied, so I won't cry again."

  After finishing, Yin Fei calmed down and continued: "When Dad had an accident, my brother and I didn't know. That night, Dad didn't come back, and my brother and I thought Dad was staying up late at the internet cafe, so we didn't think much of it. After getting up in the morning, I made breakfast for my brother and me to eat, then went to deliver food to Dad, but the internet cafe manager said that Dad had left yesterday afternoon saying he was going to report something and never came back. My brother and I panicked, I couldn't say why at the time, but somehow I always had a bad premonition.

  Three days later, my father's body was found. We are not locals here and do not have any relatives in this place. It was with the help of our neighbors that my brother and I cremated my father's remains. Those few days, I had to run to the police station at least 4 or 5 times a day, but the police kept saying they didn't have any leads and told me to wait. A few more days passed and Tian Kui was caught, but for some reason he was released yesterday. Last night my brother said he was hungry, so I went downstairs to buy him instant noodles. As soon as I walked out of the supermarket entrance, I was caught by those long-haired men... And then, you all should know what happened next."
