Chapter 1 The Town of Siqiao in the Black Night

The black night, the cold rain, the rampant wind, wrapped the entire town of Siqiao. It was as if Hua Shanfei's sinister power shrouded the town, so much so that no one dared to interfere—even though it concerned dozens of lives, one could see how fierce Hua Shanfei's reputation was!

Fang Senyan crept along the wall in this suffocating darkness, the cold rain soaking him to the bone, but his heart was filled with a burning sensation, as if it were blocked.

About twenty meters ahead was the wharf where the Fuyuan was docked. Next to the wharf was a row of sheds on the wharf that were exposed on all four sides, where sailors usually piled goods to protect them from the sun and rain. The guards could see everything at a glance, so they didn't have to worry about anyone stealing. At this time, two high-powered spotlights were placed inside the shed, illuminating it brightly. Hua Shanfei and a dozen men surrounded three people huddled on the ground, kicking them from time to time. Several figures were shaking on the Fuxing, probably pouring gasoline everywhere! Vaguely, crazy curses could be heard:

"F*** your mother! You actually dared to use a knife on me, use it, use it!"

"I'll kill your whole family today!"

"Worthless trash, rotten balls!"

"..."

Fang Senyan's facial muscles twisted. He couldn't help but move closer, and saw Hua Shanfei in the center of the shed wave his hand, telling his underlings to step aside. He said sinisterly:

"Who cut Xi Di's face with that knife?"

The four people on the ground twisted and curled up, moaning one after another, but no one spoke. Hua Shanfei waved his hand, and two fierce thugs immediately picked up one of the people from the ground. Hua Shanfei said coldly:

"You won't talk, huh? I can't explain myself to Ming-ge, so I'll use your four families to apologize!"

"It was me, I cut him!" The one who spoke weakly was Uncle Da Si, who was panting heavily. Fang Senyan felt his blood rushing upwards, and he was about to rush out with bloodshot eyes.

Hua Shanfei spat out a mouthful of saliva from between his teeth.

"You old bastard still have some guts, I admire you! Which hand did you use to cut him?"

Uncle Da Si was silent. Hua Shanfei didn't expect him to answer at all. He took a hard puff of his cigarette, and when the red dot was burning brightly, he suddenly pressed the cigarette butt on Uncle Da Si's face! A burnt, unpleasant smell immediately rose up, and then Hua Shanfei jumped up and kicked him:

"Hold him down for me! Chop off his ten fingers joint by joint, make thirty sections and send them to Young Master Xi Di to apologize! And set fire to the people and the boat!"

Hearing Hua Shanfei's angry curses, Fang Senyan felt as if something was violently colliding in his chest, and a salty taste flooded his throat. His whole body was hot, as if he was being soaked in burning blood. He licked his dry and cracked lips, clenched the knife in his hand, and the muscles in his calves were already tense. Hua Shanfei kicked a few times as if to vent, and then turned his head and panted:

"That's right, are you sure Young Master Xi Di is okay? Why did it take so long to go back and bandage it up?"

The last two sentences of Hua Shanfei's were directed at one of his men next to him. That man was quite familiar with Hua Shanfei, and said nonchalantly:

"Brother, you're thinking too much. Isn't it just a small wound on his face? Achuu! This damn weather, the rain is freezing into my bones. Xi Di, that pretty boy, should have gone back to drink some wine to kill the cold."

Fang Senyan, who had been unable to restrain himself and was about to rush up regardless, frowned immediately after hearing these words, like two knives clashing against each other. He resisted the urge to listen to the voices behind him, and staggered quickly toward the place where Hua Shanfei lived!

Fang Senyan still retained a bit of reason at this time. If he rushed up immediately, not only would he not be able to save Uncle Da Si, but he would also have to go in with him. However, Hua Shanfei's subordinates who were stationed in Siqiao were less than twenty people. All the fighters were here surrounding the people from Fuyuan. Including Xi Di, who was bandaging his wound, there would only be three people at most in his house! If he took advantage of the situation and rushed in to capture Xi Di as a hostage, then there was a real hope of rescuing Uncle Da Si. As for what would happen later, Fang Senyan didn't think much about it, because whether he could get to that step was still unknown in his life. At this time, what he kept thinking about was nothing more than the saying "the brave win when they meet on a narrow road."

Hua Shanfei lived in the central part of Siqiao Town. Because this town was in a state of being banned at any time, he also lived in a similar makeshift shack, but it was newer and larger than the surrounding ones. Of course, in order to show that he was different from the people around him, he also specially surrounded it with a fence. Fang Senyan walked through the darkness like a ghost, his whole body drenched, his feet covered in mud, only his eyes shone with a cold and vicious light, which made people associate him with a wolf that had been hungry for three days in the snow.

"Finally here." Fang Senyan looked at the shack shrouded in darkness in front of him, and an uncontrollable feeling of tension and palpitation arose in his heart. He reached into his pocket, and his pale and cold fingers convulsively stroked the cold blade, then touched the cloth wrapped around the handle, and then held it tightly. Fang Senyan took a deep breath, put a tattered oilcloth on his head, grabbed a handful of mud and smeared it on his face, and then began to shake the fence gate outside Hua Shanfei's house.

The fence gate was hastily welded with steel bars, and there was no doorbell on it. The lock was quite loose. Fang Senyan's shaking immediately hit the concrete next to it with a "bang bang bang" sound. Bright lights came out from the cracks in the shack, and after a while, an impatient voice came:

"Who the hell is making noise here?"

Although Fang Senyan's heart had been beating extremely fast before, he calmed down at this time, and said urgently with courage:

"Something happened! Something happened, Brother Fei asked me to come back and report the situation!"

This sentence was indeed effective. A person immediately opened the door and walked out, but he didn't open the door when he got to the fence. He tilted his head suspiciously and looked around. Fang Senyan recognized him as Hua Shanfei's cousin, Bai Fenming. He usually relied on Hua Shanfei's power to do all kinds of evil. His main business was selling bai fen (to avoid harmony, homophones are used instead), and he didn't know how many families he had ruined. Fang Senyan had been blackmailed by this guy for six or seven hundred yuan when he was repairing his shack! Seeing this guy at this time, new and old hatred welled up in his heart. Fang Senyan buried his head, covering most of his face with the oilcloth, and grabbed the steel bar door tightly, his voice hoarse and anxious:

"Brother Ming, there are a lot of police. Those bastards don't know when they reported the case!"

Bai Fenming usually bullied the weak and feared the strong. Although Fang Senyan's voice sounded a bit unfamiliar, he didn't think too much about it. He was immediately shocked when he heard this, and said:

"What's going on? Brother Fei usually feeds those cops over there, what are they doing here?"

At this time, his mind turned to the police, and he couldn't help but open the iron door on the fence. But when he opened it halfway, he felt something was wrong, and asked casually:

"Why didn't Brother Fei call us, but instead asked you to run back?"

This sentence immediately asked about the most vulnerable part of Fang Senyan's plan! But Fang Senyan was also quick-witted, and immediately sighed:

"Those cops don't recognize their relatives, and they're in a hurry. Brother Fei accidentally dropped the phone in the mud on the ground, how could he get through? Isn't this just because he's afraid that Brother Ming won't believe him, so he specially asked me to bring the phone back as proof, if you don't believe me, look."

As he said that, he stretched out his left hand, and there was indeed something that looked like a black mobile phone in his palm.

In fact, Fang Senyan's statement was full of loopholes, and it would not be difficult to expose it if he thought about it carefully. But Bai Fenming was also panicked and afraid when he heard that the police were coming. He didn't have time to think carefully, and Fang Senyan was able to come up with evidence in a justified manner, so he of course opened the door and stuck his head out to look at Fang Senyan's palm very seriously.

Fang Senyan's left hand took the opportunity to clench into a fist, and slammed it heavily on his face!

Bai Fenming felt a sharp pain in his nose, and tears and snot immediately gushed out uncontrollably. He was about to shout loudly when he suddenly felt an extremely cold chill in his abdomen. The chill went upstream like a bamboo shoot, all the way to his throat! Bai Fenming raised his head in horror and pain, and saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning with flames! Then a huge pain spread in his consciousness, completely surrounding him.

Fang Senyan slowly released his hand that was掐 (qia - to pinch/strangle) Bai Fenming's neck. This guy immediately slipped into the mud like a pool of mud. A large amount of blood poured out from under him, and was diluted by the torrential rain. The sound of the wind and rain concealed this series of movements very well, and the people in the house didn't notice anything unusual outside.

Fang Senyan took a few deep breaths, and the fear of killing someone for the first time quickly subsided, but a strange feeling of fulfillment emerged in his heart. It seemed that the previous twenty years of his life had been completely wasted, and the feeling of walking between life and death at this time was so... delightful!

The rain was cold, but Fang Senyan's whole body was already hot. He took a few deep breaths, opened the iron gate and tiptoed in. He stopped at the door of the shack and quietly leaned against the board wall next to it. He could clearly hear someone raging inside:

"He cut me, f*** his mother, he actually dared to cut me! I want his whole family to be wiped out! Where's the doctor, you two said you hired a doctor?"

"The rain is so heavy, it's more than twenty kilometers from the county seat to here, and I don't know what the road has become. The doctor probably won't be here until tomorrow morning."
