Chapter Seven Old Classmates

  The text translates to:

  Qu Wen didn't want Fang Ge's life, but since he had made a move, he had to be ruthless and make the other party remember him for the rest of his life, leaving a deep impression in his heart. Like a killing god, he struck seven or eight times before stopping, and as soon as he loosened his grip, Fang Ge fell to the ground like a withered leaf, his face already battered beyond recognition, blood, snot, and saliva mixed together like paste stuck to his face, making people feel nauseous just by looking at him. He was barely holding on, gasping for air, and probably wouldn't last much longer.

  "Get out, all of you! If I see any of you again, I'll kill every last one of you!" Qu Wen bellowed loudly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, sharp as an eagle soaring through the sky, causing several people to tremble with fear.

  Several thugs were holding knives, and no one dared to come forward, fearing that they would be the next Feng Ge. Even if they managed to save him, his face would be ruined. For those who came out to mix with others, apart from bravery, looks were also very important. Those who didn't do well in this line of work didn't have much money and relied on their faces to pick up chicks. If it was smashed like that, no matter how much money you had, beauties wouldn't give you a second glance because the first glance would already be disgusting.

  Moreover, Qu Wen's means of disregarding consequences makes one feel chilled to the bone. What kind of person is that? He's simply a god of murder.

  A few thugs hastily lifted the person up and just as they reached the door, several security guards arrived at the door.

  Looking at the unconscious Fang Ge and the large pool of blood on the ground, the security guards were stunned for a while. Although fights in nightclubs are inevitable, it's rare for someone to fight like this, as if they had a deep grudge, determined to kill each other.

  When they saw the security guard, one of them immediately shouted: "That, that, that kid beat up Feng Ge!"

  It seems that Maple Brother was right before, Wangzi Nightclub indeed has a stake in Ma Street, no wonder they dare to be so arrogant here.

  Zeng Hongwei hastily stepped forward to explain, pointing at the unconscious Fang Ge and saying: "This man tried to take liberties with our female companions, and was beaten up after being forced to do so. As security guards of the nightclub, you should protect the safety of customers!"

  This put the security guards in a difficult position. Maple Brother was an underling of the shareholder, and Zeng Hongwei was a regular here; helping either side wouldn't be right. After hesitating for half a day, the lead security guard stepped forward: "You guys should send Maple Brother to the hospital first, if you're late it might be too late to save him." Then he turned to another security guard and said: "Go call De Brother over and ask him if he wants to find police to handle this."

  "As it happens, we also want to call the police and take the opportunity to call the newspaper to say that Wangzi Nightclub is maliciously harassing customers." Qu Wen was on the side of reason, not afraid of calling the police at all. At worst, they would go to court, and at most be sentenced for excessive self-defense.

  The leading security guard looked at Qu Wen's blood-stained hands, his ferocious expression, and without guessing, it was probably him who did it. Just this gaze made people afraid, and for some reason, the feeling that this gaze shouldn't belong to a human being, as if there were some unspeakable things mixed in, and looking at each other would be like being seen through.

  "Don't talk nonsense, customer! Although Maple Brother is acquainted with us, he's not one of our nightclub's people."

  "But just now these few people said that the prince is their boss's son, so they dare to be so arrogant."

  "Is that so?" The lead security guard glared at the thugs, his eyes blazing with anger, as if he'd like to burn them all to death to avoid ruining the nightclub's reputation.

  Actually, these people usually hang out in the north of the city on Ma Street, and only occasionally come to Wangzi to play. Today they came here to celebrate Big Brother's birthday, but didn't expect to run into Su Yaxin who had just come out of the restroom after having a few too many drinks. Seeing that she looked gentle and quiet, seemingly easy to bully, they got some wicked ideas and followed her from the bathroom all the way to their private room.

  They were severely taught a lesson by Qu Wen, and the brains of several thugs cleared up a lot. They remembered that this was not their territory, and making trouble under De Ge's eyes was undoubtedly seeking death. Even their boss had to consider De Ge's face when doing things, let alone them.

  "Don't listen to their nonsense. They were the ones who spoke out of turn first, and Brother Feng came in to reason with them. Who knew this madman would attack and beat up Brother Feng like this."

  Even a hooligan can talk reason, it's simply a huge joke, just like a client going to a prostitute, entering the room not in a hurry to go to bed, but instead patiently discussing philosophy with the prostitute.

  Qu Wen's face gradually turned icy and bone-chilling, gazing at the hoodlum who spoke with a thick murderous intent.

  "How dare you say that again!"

  Qu Wen's character is gentle, but it also depends on who you are. If you're a friend, he can joke and tease you, but if you're an enemy, he won't show any mercy. Back then, if he hadn't helped his friends out by participating in fights, he wouldn't have been expelled from school, which ultimately affected his college entrance exam scores, and he barely made it into a second-rate university.

  As soon as the voice fell, several thugs closed their mouths tightly, not to mention that they didn't dare to look at each other, and their hands trembled constantly as they lifted Fang Ge, who had fainted, and ran out.

  It doesn't matter if they run away, in fact it's better if they do. Even if they go to report to the police afterwards, since they're not at the scene, the police will have a hard time judging who is right or wrong. Both sides will stick to their own words and it'll be a long and drawn-out process.

  Qin Wei Na walked to the front, staring at Qu Wen and praising: "I really didn't expect you to be so brave, I was also scared by you just now, but this is considered legitimate defense, justice and bravery."

  "Right, we're in the right, even if it goes to court, I'll pay for the lawyer fees!" The beautiful woman stood up, Zeng Hongwei could no longer pretend to be a bear, and with renewed courage, he walked to the front and gave Qu Wen a hearty pat on the shoulder.

  Just as he was speaking, a dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. The sound of at least ten or more people made Zeng Hongwei's courage retreat again, and he retreated behind Qu Wen, staring nervously at the door. It wouldn't be the people from Ma Street coming for revenge, would it? It was too fast, they hadn't even had time to catch their breath. He regretted not reporting the incident or leaving in time earlier. Now that a large group of people had arrived, he feared it wouldn't end with just a beating, and so many people venting their anger could be fatal.

  Soon a group of people came to the outside of the room, one by one with ferocious and brutal looks, really scaring Ma Zeng Hongwei so much that he jumped up, retreating a big step as if he had springs on his feet.

  "What happened?"

  A loud noise rang out, and a handsome man in a suit with shiny black shoes walked out. His flowing hair was soft and smooth, and it was unknown how much time and effort he had spent taking care of it. Eight of his ten fingers were adorned with sparkling rings that dazzled the eyes, showing off an air of wealth, making Qu Wen feel envious.

  "Kong Haide!"

  The unbelievable wide eyes, if it weren't for this person's demeanor and movements, he really wouldn't dare to believe that the person in front of him was his high school best friend. After many years of not seeing each other, he still looks so handsome, even taking great care of his hair.

  "Qu Wen!"

  Compared to him, four years apart, except for height, Qu Wen's appearance has not changed much, still with that awkward sports boy look, recognizable at a glance. The bloodstains on his hands made Gong Haide slightly surprised, and soon he burst out laughing.

  "It must have been you who hit someone just now!"

  "Hmm, if we're going to fight, then let's fight. Are you trying to help that scum get revenge?"

  "Revenge, that guy can die without any problem, always finding trouble for me to do, and then still wanting me to wipe his butt. But you haven't changed at all, fighting is still the same, fierce and ruthless!" Gong Haide gave Qu Wen a big thumbs up, turned around and shouted loudly at the younger brothers outside the private room: "What are you all standing stupidly outside for? Come in and meet Brother Wen."

  A group of thugs who came with Gong Haide originally thought he would help Li Feng vent his anger, but unexpectedly, as soon as they met the opponent, they started to get along. It is said that this man named Wen Ge just blinked and beat Li Feng half to death. Looking at the bloodstains all over the private room, they were secretly shocked. No wonder he was De Ge's brother, equally ruthless.

  "Old Wen!"

  "Old Wen!"

  A group of thugs lined up to pay their respects to Qu Wen, their eyes filled with reverence. This was how the underworld had always been - worshipping the strong and bullying the weak.

  The security guard at Wangzi Nightclub saw this and said to Gong Haide: "Since he's De Ge's brother, then we'll leave first."

  Gong Haide waved his hand to let the security guards leave, and instructed the nightclub's waiters to open another large private room, where Zeng Hongwei and several other guests were politely invited.

  "When did you come back, without even notifying me?" After switching to a large private room, Gong Haide had the waiter bring up fine wine, water and snacks. He pulled Qu Wen down to sit with him, looking like they were a pair of good buddies who didn't know any better.

  "I just got back a few days ago and found a job, didn't have time to notify everyone. Didn't expect that on the first day of work, my colleagues threw me a welcome party, and I ran into a scumbag." Qu Wen cursed at the person without any politeness.

  "What's the point of bringing that loser here, anyway? He scared a few people and ruined everyone's mood. To make up for it, I'll cover all expenses tonight. Later, I'll have someone bring over a few VIP cards, and from now on, you can use them to get 20% off your bills, and no one will dare bother you here again. Otherwise, it would be an insult to me."

  Similarly set against the backdrop of the underworld, Gong Haide appears to have more bearing than Li Feng, no wonder Li Feng is older than Gong Haide yet has to be his underling.

  He often came to Wangzi Nightclub and had some understanding of the several shareholders here. Each one had a certain background, especially this person named Gong Haide, who was young but a big brother-level figure in the new generation. He was ruthless and decisive in his actions. Zeng Hongwei never expected that he would be Qu Wen's good brother. After what happened earlier, he still felt a lingering fear, and his conversation with Gong Haide became somewhat awkward, losing his earlier bravado: "Thanks, Brother De."

  "Zeng Ge, don't be so polite, since he's Ah Wen's brother, he's my brother too."

  Gong Haide was used to this kind of thing, so he just exchanged a few pleasantries and ignored the others, continuing to chat with Qu Wen: "You're still lucky, you managed to get a university degree, while I can only continue to muddle along on the road. What do you do now?"

  "I'm currently working at Yuefeng Pawnshop." Guo Haide gave a simple answer, not wanting to drag the conversation into other topics. He was originally an idealistic person, but in high school, he couldn't stand being bullied by older students, so in a fit of anger, he stabbed the person bullying him and ended up having to rely on a big brother figure, becoming a member of the underworld. Before he knew it, four or five years had passed, and while he himself graduated from university smoothly, Guo Haide had become a "big brother".

  "Not bad, you can go to Yuefengdian store, your boss Chen Qifu is a well-known figure in Longcheng, with both wealth and fame. Coincidentally, I have a batch of goods that I want to exchange for cash, do you think you can handle it?"

  "This is my first day at work, I don't understand many things, why don't you ask Zeng Ge instead."

  Zeng Hongwei sat next to them, listening to their conversation, and looked embarrassed. He carefully asked, "De Ge, I want to help you, but our company has a rule that we can't accept goods with unknown origins."

  Gong Haide knew what he was worried about, and smiled: "Don't worry, it's not stolen or robbed, they're all things that others brought to repay debts. If Ah Wen wasn't working for you guys, I could have taken them somewhere else to deal with."

  "Dege, why don't you tell me instead? I'm the one from the business department, those two are appraisers." Upon hearing that there was a profit to be made, Qin Wei Na immediately put down the phone and sat over, throwing a flirtatious glance at Gong Hai De.
