Chapter Fifteen: Half of His Fame and Prestige Were Born from This

  Upon hearing this, Ji Changfa and several others took a deep breath of cold air. What kind of fighting power was this? Ji Changfa's gratitude to Tian Guan Xiufu Xiaotong increased by a few points in his heart. If Xiaotong hadn't stirred up Xue Xiang, he estimated that they would all be lying on the ground sleeping like Da Fei Ge now. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Da Fei Ge was still lying on the ground. Ji Changfa quickly called out to several people to lift Xu Xiaofei up, and he patted Xu Xiaofei's face, trying to wake him up. However, Xu Xiaofei had been hit too hard, and after opening his eyes and humming a few sentences, he fell asleep again.

  Everyone was too busy to care about Xu Xiaofei, who had fallen asleep, and they carried him away, urging Hou Xiaochun to continue telling the story. Hou Xiaochun didn't pretend anymore and continued the story from where he left off: "I asked my brother-in-law, since Da Biao Ge can't do anything to him, does that mean we won't collect protection fees from East City in the future? After all, the other districts' protection fees add up too. My brother-in-law scolded me, saying I didn't understand anything. If we don't collect protection fees from East City, the other districts will follow suit, and we won't be able to collect a single penny in the future. This is called losing face; if you can't even stand up for yourself, who will listen to you? This matter isn't over yet. If we let it go, we'll be in trouble later. Da Biao Ge has already made an appointment with us to meet again three days later. I said, 'You just said that kid is so capable of fighting; if we go again, aren't we just asking for a beating?' My brother-in-law said, 'This time we'll bring more people; even if he's capable of fighting, he won't be able to take on this many.' As my brother-in-law was saying this, he made a hand gesture like a gun. I was shocked and quickly advised my brother-in-law, 'You're not going to use real guns, are you? If we really do that, the police will definitely get involved; it's not worth it.' My brother-in-law smiled and said, 'The gun is real, and there are bullets too, but when the time comes, we won't fire. I don't believe he'll still dare to disobey us if we point a gun at him.' My brother-in-law smiled again, and his mouth twitched; it was quite funny to watch. Two days passed like this, and on the third day in the afternoon, my brother-in-law and I went to Gaotou Building, which is now our usual hangout spot with four large pillars at the bottom. This time, my brother-in-law didn't stop me from following him because there were more people going, and we had brought guns; it seemed like a sure thing. As soon as we arrived at Gaotou Building, we saw that Da Biao Ge's face was bruised, his head bandage had been ripped off, and only his left pinky finger was still in a cast. There were already seventeen or eighteen people sitting in the private room on the top floor of Gaotou Building, including many big shots from West City, South City, Yanggu District, and Hudu District; Da Biao Ge had invited quite a few district leaders. Da Biao Ge said he would bring thirty or forty core members from North City tonight and asked each district leader to bring their own trusted followers along. Originally, with guns, we wouldn't have needed so many people; Da Biao Ge did this for a reason. Okay, I won't say any more; you guys guess what the reason is?"

  Xiao Chun stopped again, it seems that his habit of being a know-it-all has been pent up for more than one or two days. Today he finally got the opportunity and poured out everything at once. Now he is not satisfied with just being a lecturer, but also wants to be a master, and even learned how to test students. Ji Changfa knew that if he didn't satisfy this habit of his, he would have to pretend for half a day, so he quickly chimed in: "Monkey brother, we couldn't have thought of it, you were on the scene at the time, you must know what Big Biao meant."

  Xiao Chun said with a smile, "That's right, think about it, three days ago Da Biao and his men were taken down, could this not be spread out? The gangster circle in 49 City is neither big nor small, this matter doesn't need one night's work to definitely spread far. The big bosses of the three cities and eight districts must also know, now Da Biao gathers them together to go and take back the lost share from three days ago, intending to warn the big bosses of the three cities and eight districts not to have second thoughts."

  "Wow, that's really deep! I'm sure only Monkey Brother can fully understand the profound meaning behind it. Impressive, impressive!"

  Here is the translation:

  Xiao Chun continued to speak, "Big Biao told each district's leader to come watch the fight. My brother asked Big Biao where they would be fighting tonight. Big Biao said, 'Wherever we fall, that's where we'll get back up.' He meant North Sea. I sent someone to post a notice, saying 12 o'clock tonight at the North Sea Sports Stadium's square, let's see if he has the guts to show up.

  That night, the moon was full and round, just like last night. At 11 o'clock, Big Biao led us to wait at the sports stadium's square. This time, we had over 40 people from our district, each district leader brought around 10 people, adding up to over a hundred. Luckily, at 11 o'clock, the square was empty except for the streetlights.

  We were all squatting there smoking, waiting for about 50 minutes, and still no one showed up in front of us. My brother said to Big Biao, 'That kid must be too scared to come.' Just as he finished speaking, a few figures appeared vaguely in the distance. I looked at my watch, it was exactly 12 o'clock.

  Big Biao saw that the main person had arrived and took big strides towards him, leaving our group far behind. Who knew that this would lead to trouble? Big Biao's temper was too hot, seeing that San Ge only brought five or six people, he couldn't hold back his anger.

  Big Biao led the way, about 10 meters ahead of us, quickly approaching San Ge, preparing to shout something. But San Ge didn't care about this, seeing Big Biao approach, he swiftly ran towards him from a distance, fast like a whirlwind. I saw from afar that he jumped high, his figure even blocking out the streetlight behind him.

  Suddenly, Big Biao's figure went dark and flew far away. It turned out that San Ge used his momentum to kick Big Biao in the stomach with one foot. Big Biao's huge body couldn't withstand this force and flew straight towards us.

  As soon as San Ge started running towards us, we knew something was wrong and quickly chased after Big Biao. I don't know how to describe it, but San Ge's movements were too fast, too accurate... if any of you learn this move and use it on your wives, guaranteed one hit will be enough.

  We all stared with wide eyes, still in shock, when we heard San Ge say, 'You took the gun but don't dare shoot? I do.' Then, two gunshots rang out, followed by the sound of shattering glass. The light from the streetlights suddenly dimmed, and it turned out that the two streetlights closest to San Ge were shot out.

  As soon as we heard the gunshots, many people sat down on the ground, but no one dared to run, afraid of being mistaken for a target. Of course, I was standing, my courage has always been bigger than others...

  Everyone was listening with bated breath, when he suddenly interrupted them, extremely dissatisfied. But at this time, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction. Seven or eight people nodded in agreement, saying that Monkey Brother's courage was like a tiger's gallbladder, a leopard's gallbladder, a bear's gallbladder... In short, as long as it was the gallbladder of a fierce beast, they would attribute it to him, without considering whether Monkey Brother's heart could withstand it.

  Xiao Chun Sheng was very satisfied with this flattering, and continued: "Third Brother fired two shots, Da Biao Ge stood still like he had been possessed, not making a sound. No one dared to go up and check on him. Third Brother then said that from now on, Da Biao Ge is not allowed to stay in the capital city. Within three days, if he doesn't leave the capital city, he will personally come to kick him out. Da Biao Ge still didn't say anything, just standing there stupidly. After Third Brother finished speaking, he turned around and left. It was us who stood in place for a long time before realizing that shots had been fired here, and tomorrow the police would definitely come to investigate. We quickly dispersed and ran away. Later on, Da Biao Ge left the capital city, and my cousin also stopped hanging out with the gangsters, enlisting in the army the following year."

  The story of Hou Xiaochun has ended, and no one praised it, nor did anyone say it was bad. The whole group of people didn't utter a word. They were all immersed in Hou Xiaochun's story, as if they could see the heroic figure of that person going to the meeting alone with his sword, and feel the majestic momentum of him rushing to the sky. Everyone's heart was shaken, and they wished they could go and chase Xue Xiang right now, bow down to the ground, and call him a hero. The Xue Xiang in Hou Xiaochun's story was exactly the idol that this group of hot-blooded young people worshipped and yearned for the most. Who didn't have heroic dreams when they were young, who didn't long to have the extraordinary ability like Guan Yu, to take the head of a general from among thousands of soldiers? Xue Xiang perfectly matched the heroic image in the minds of these rascals, so they were deeply shocked.

  Ji Changfa was the first to come back to his senses and asked Xiaochun, "What happened afterwards? How did the Public Security Bureau handle that shooting case?"

  Xiao Chun was very satisfied with the impact his story had on them and replied, "Later, I heard that Third Brother went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau of his own accord and came out from inside without spending a night there. The Public Security Bureau also never pursued this matter again. From this, it can be seen that Third Brother's connections in the capital are still very deep."

  "Monkey brother, wild chicken brother, San Ge said to ask you guys to bring Kang Xiao Ba to his house tomorrow, can I also come along?" The speaker was the repaired Little Pang, whose eyes were shining brightly at this moment, making everyone feel uneasy.

  The princess with long hair asked curiously: "Where are you going? Maybe it's to collect us again."

  Xiao Pang said: "Even if I'm beaten up, I'll admit it. Being able to be hit by a great hero like Third Brother is also an honor that can be passed on."

  "I'm going too, I'm going too"

  "Plus me"

  "Also me"

  …………

  Xiao Chun never thought that her own story would have such a consequence - mass-producing so many cheap imitations.

  He had also made up his mind: this time he would risk everything to befriend San Ge.
