The streets were filled with screams and cries. Reality proved that we were far weaker than our online counterparts when it came to PvP offline. In less than two minutes, almost all of us were wounded. The good news was that none of us were seriously injured, and the worst that could happen was a few broken bones after being hit by a brick a few times. The other readers were just watching as normal.
Gui Guzi clutched his left arm, which had a bloody gash on it. It was the work of a watermelon knife, and right now, Gui Guzi was holding the watermelon knife in his hand. He had also left wounds on the arms of several people on the opposite side. Xu Yang, on the other hand, was on the verge of going berserk. He waved his brick wildly, and the number of people who were injured by his hands was definitely not small.
Out of all of us, I was the one who suffered the most. Du Thirteen was so drunk that he couldn't even walk properly. I was standing in front of him and Xue Lu and took almost all of the hits. There were three bloody cuts on my wrist, my purple shirt had turned gray, and two bruises had appeared on my forehead.
… …
"Huff huff …"
Panting heavily, I stared straight ahead.
Life of Luxury's hand was shaking a little as he stared at me angrily. "You … Lu Chen, are you fucking crazy? Who the hell is worth risking your life for?"
I replied indifferently, "Anyone who's willing to risk their life for me is worth it!"
"Fuck you! The other readers are just watching as normal!"
Two hooligans charged me at the same time, and I punched one of them until his front teeth flew out. However, I felt a numbness at the back of my head, and my consciousness started fading away!
"Lu Chen!"
I heard Du Thirteen's voice as he watched me fall limply to the ground.
… …
I closed my eyes. I felt like I was having a nightmare, a nightmare that I didn't want to recall.
Drip drip...
Drops of warm liquid splashed on the tip of my nose. When I opened my eyes, I saw Du Thirteen trembling in front of me. There was a military knife in his right shoulder. The knife had pierced through Du Thirteen's shoulder, and the blade was covered in blood. Drops of blood splashed on my face.
I looked up and felt a chill in my heart.
"Thirteen …"
Du Thirteen gripped the hilt of the saber with his left hand and laughed miserably. "Life of Luxury, what are you? What are women in your eyes?"
Life of Luxury's eyes darkened. One of the thugs behind him whispered, "Brother Luxury, will … will someone die?"
"What are you afraid of? If someone dies, I'll take responsibility!"
Life of Luxury's eyes were filled with hatred. He stepped forward and kicked Du Thirteen. Du Thirteen groaned in pain and fell to his knees.
Xue Lu leaned on Du Thirteen's shoulder and looked at his wound. She let out a heart-wrenching cry, "You … What's wrong with you? Don't …"
Du Thirteen looked at Xue Lu and suddenly revealed a 'gentle' smile. "Lulu, I'm … fine …"
Not far away, Xu Yang was wrestling with four hooligans. Gui Guzi was lying on the cement floor, his forehead covered in blood. He was actually knocked out.
…
"Sha sha sha …"
Using the flowerbed as support, I shakily stood up. I tried my best to clear my mind, but before I could take half a step, I fell to my knees again. My entire body was on the ground, and I felt a cold breeze on my face. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say a word.
Du Thirteen was sweating from the pain, but he looked at me and said, "Brother, you …"
Xue Lu also looked at me. "Lu Chen, you …"
I glared at her and shouted, "Xue Lu, look at what you've done!"
"I …"
Xue Lu burst into tears and sobbed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
… …
Clutching the wound on his arm, Life of Luxury pointed at Xue Lu and said, "Bring that woman to me!"
Two hoodlums rushed over and forcefully dragged Xue Lu away.
"Kneel!"
Forcing Xue Lu to her knees, Life of Luxury pinched Xue Lu's chin with a look of hatred and anger. "You like that kid, don't you?
You quit your job at the bar and cut off all ties with everyone just for this kid, don't you?
Very well, I'll let you have a good time right in front of him! "
Life of Luxury had gone completely insane. He took off his pants and pressed Xue Lu's head down. "What, you still don't want to, bitch?
What happened to that slut you used to have?! "
Xue Lu shook her head violently as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Around us, a group of hoodlums let out loud laughter. One of them sat on Gui Guzi and actually lit a cigarette. Fortunately, Gui Guzi was knocked out. Otherwise, I don't know how miserable this hoodlum's fate would have been.
One of the hooligans said with a lewd smile, "Brother Luxury, the police will be here any minute now. You'd better hurry up and let us have some fun. This girl is pretty good!"
Life of Luxury said, "What's there to be afraid of? I have people in the police station, I'll be fine!"
… …
Du Thirteen's eyes were bloodshot as he stood up shakily. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out the Swiss Army knife from his shoulder and shouted, "Motherfucker, I'll kill you!"
However, Du Thirteen's injuries were too severe, and his movements were too slow. Life of Luxury easily knocked the knife out of his hand and sent him flying backward with a kick.
Thud!
I placed a hand on Du Thirteen's shoulder and pushed him away slightly. "Let me do it!"
My head finally cleared up, and I pushed Du Thirteen away with one hand. Then, I charged toward Life of Luxury. I was the only one who could maintain this speed because I wasn't drunk.
I arrived in front of Life of Luxury in the blink of an eye. I pushed Xue Lu away with my left hand and grabbed Life of Luxury's arm with my right hand. Then, I kicked his lower body!
"Bang!"
The clear sound of a hit entered our ears, followed by Life of Luxury's bloodcurdling screams and heart-wrenching wails!
I didn't stop there. Another kick landed on a spot that shouldn't have been exposed in the first place. With a "puchi" sound, the other hoodlums couldn't help but close their eyes. One could only imagine how painful it was. Fans of the book also loved to read: "What?"
Life of Luxury had already fainted from the pain. After I kicked him a few more times, I pushed him forward and found him lying limp on the ground.
The thugs were dumbfounded. Even the one smoking on top of Gui Guzi rose to his feet and asked in a trembling voice, "Is … is Brother Luxury dead?"
Another thug said, "Bullshit …"
… …
It was at this moment a shrill siren rang out. The police had finally arrived, but they were always late.
A group of police officers rushed out of the car and surrounded us. I raised my arm in a practiced motion and pointed at Du Thirteen. "He's seriously injured, and we need immediate medical attention …"
One of the police officers frowned and shouted, "Save this one immediately … oh, there's another one over there!"
Gui Guzi was also taken and thrown into the car. He was still unconscious, but there was a smile on his face. I had no idea what kind of sweet dream he was having.
Xu Yang's arm was covered in blood. When he saw me looking at him, he licked his lips and said with a smile, "It's not my blood."
He looked at my forehead, and I nodded. "It's my blood …"
"Fuck …"
Du Thirteen was lying on the ground not far away from us. A couple of medics were busy trying to stop the bleeding and give him a blood transfusion. As for Life of Luxury, I had no idea what was going on.
Xue Lu continued to cry and got into the car as well.
… …
A young police officer came up to me with iodine and gauze. He looked at me and asked, "Did you get into a fight?"
I said, "It's obvious. Book fans love to read: Book fans."
He smiled. "You messed with someone you shouldn't have messed with. That guy who took off his pants has a strong backer in the city's public security department. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk away unscathed."
I also smiled. "It's fine."
The police officer nodded. "Prepare yourself. Regardless of whether this fight was self-defense or not, tell your family to raise more money and hire more people. Maybe this will save you a few years in prison …"
I looked at Du Thirteen's dismal face and said, "Mn, got it."
… …
At night, they simply disinfected and bandaged the wound. After that, they recorded their statements in the police station. Gui Guzi was pinched awake, and the moment he woke up, he slapped the police officer next to him and yelled something, scaring the young police officer so badly that his face turned pale.
"This guy …" Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh.
I also laughed.
At this time, Du Thirteen was pushed over in a wheelchair. His wounds were bandaged, and he looked like a mess. Xue Lu was behind him, her eyes red.
"Brother, there's something we need to talk about …" Du Thirteen said.
I nodded and sat on the desk behind me. "Speak, I'm listening!"
Du Thirteen gulped and pulled Xue Lu in front of him. "Lu Chen, don't tell me you don't recognize her at all?"
I stared at Xue Lu for a few seconds before shaking my head. "Not at all."
"She … she's our classmate, Qiu Xiaohan …"
I shuddered. "Qiu … Qiu Xiaohan?"
This was a name that I had almost forgotten. Qiu Xiaohan, our high school classmate, Du Thirteen's first girlfriend. That was something that happened many years ago. However, the girl in front of me, no matter what, was completely different from Qiu Xiaohan. How was this possible?
"No …" I shook my head. "I remember Qiu Xiaohan's appearance. It can't be her …"
Du Thirteen was silent for a moment, then said, "That's because after she dropped out of school, a lot of things happened. The person who took her away was arrested, and LuLu had nowhere to stay in Beijing. In the end, she entered a model packaging company and had plastic surgery. That's how she is now. After that, she went back to Jiangsu and suffered a lot..."
Xue Lu looked at me with red eyes. Suddenly, she walked up to me and held my hand. "Lu Chen, do you remember my good friend Li Fang?
She really liked you back then, and she wrote you seven or eight love letters. You folded them all into a paper airplane and sent them to the school belle across the street … "
I shuddered. "Xue Lu … you, you really are Qiu Xiaohan?"
"Of course. Other book friends should read it normally:!"
If that was the case, everything would make sense.
My eyes suddenly turned cold. "Then, what's up with the man in the parking lot?"
Xue Lu didn't say anything.
Du Thirteen said indifferently, "He's her sugar daddy, a fatty called Tang Chuan. Lulu broke off that kind of relationship with him a year ago."
Me: "..."
… …
It was at this moment a noisy noise came from outside the door. Then, a few beautiful figures appeared inside the police station. High heels clacked against the ground as a natural and graceful office lady appeared in my field of vision. She was carrying a small bag, looking anxious, and the hair in front of her forehead was a little messy. Who else could it be but He Yi?
