Not only did I see Ma Qiang, but I also saw Zhang Chao. This person that I had almost forgotten. Back then, he found someone to kidnap Zhao Hua and me and almost killed us. Later on, Zhao Hua's people saved us. As for what happened to him after that, I don't know.
Ma Qiang suddenly stepped on my face and rubbed it hard. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he said,"Chu Tian, do you know why I brought you here? Because I've never been beaten up so badly in my life. I've taken revenge on anyone who has touched a strand of my hair. As for you, let's play slowly today.”
After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side. He sat on a chair and looked like he was watching a show. The four men who had captured Zhao Hua and I also walked to the side and continued to chat. It was as if what was about to happen on our side was just child's play.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Chao didn't even look at me. His fierce eyes kept staring at Zhao Hua. I could see hatred and extreme anger in his eyes, just like how I looked at Ma Qiang.
Zhang Chao squatted in front of Zhao Hua and took the cloth out of Zhao Hua's mouth. He teased,""Zhao Hua, have you ever thought that you would have such a day?”
Zhao Hua stared at Zhang Chao angrily and said coldly,""Looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet.”
As soon as Zhao Hua finished speaking, Zhang Chao slapped him across the face. He then stood up and kicked Zhao Hua's body. As he kicked, he roared,"You f * cking destroyed my home and caused my father to commit suicide. You deserve to die, do you know that?”
Zhang Chao kicked Zhao Hua's head and face without any regard for the consequences. Zhao Hua's hands were tied behind his back, so he couldn't even protect his head. My mouth was still stuffed with cloth. Seeing Zhao Hua being beaten, I roared with red eyes. The muscles on my body tensed up, wanting to break free from the rope around my wrist, but it was useless. Because I used too much strength, my wrist was bleeding from the rope.
Ma Qiang, on the other hand, had been watching the show calmly, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. Zhao Hua's face was covered in blood. If I didn't know that he was Zhao Hua, I probably wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
It was unknown if Zhang Chao had vented enough or was tired, but he finally stopped. He stared at Zhao Hua and said,"Zhao Hua, I admit that I regret it. I shouldn't have provoked you back then, but regret is regret. Kneel down and kowtow three times right now, and shout,'I'm sorry, Grandpa Chao.' This matter between us will be over.”
As Zhang Chao spoke, he stood in front of Zhao Hua as if he was waiting for Zhao Hua to kowtow. Zhao Hua spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and said something indistinctly. Although it was especially indistinct, it was still clear. He said,"Impossible!"
Zhang Chao seemed to have expected Zhao Hua to say this. He shook his head and said,"You really don't know how to be soft-spoken if you don't use any extreme methods.”
After Zhang Chao finished speaking, he turned to look at Ma Qiang and suddenly said,"Ma Qiang, if I cripple someone's hands, can you help me solve the problem?”
Ma Qiang smiled lightly and said,""As long as you don't kill anyone, you can play as you like. We're here to play today. Of course, if someone dies, I'll try my best to protect you.”
As he spoke, he threw a knife at Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao thanked him and picked up the knife from the ground. However, he walked towards me. Seeing his teasing gaze, I suddenly understood what he wanted to do. He walked towards me and said,"Aren't you brothers? Today, I want to help you verify how deep the brotherhood between you is. Is dignity more important or is brotherhood more important?”
When Zhao Hua saw Zhang Chao walking towards me, he immediately became anxious. Previously, he was kicked in the mouth by Zhang Chao so many times that he couldn't speak clearly. However, I could hear that he was shouting no.
As Zhang Chao spoke, he had already walked up to me. He smiled like a demon and said,"Although the person who destroyed my family was Zhao Hua, he did it for you. That's why I mentioned that you also had a part in destroying my family.”
"Zhao Hua, I want to play a game with you now. You can only choose between dignity and brotherhood. I'll give you one last minute to consider. If you kneel down and kowtow to me now, I'll let your brother go.”Zhang Chao looked at Zhao Hua and said.
At this time, Ma Qiang called over two big men. The two big men walked over reluctantly and untied the rope around my wrist. Then, they pressed me firmly to the ground. One of my hands was also pressed to the ground by them.
"Don't splash your blood on me.”One of them, Zhang Chao, said unhappily.
Zhang Chao smiled and nodded. He used the knife to make a few strokes on my wrist, making the action of cutting my wrist one knife at a time. However, every time the blade was about to cut my wrist, he would stop. My mouth was still stuffed with a cloth, and I cried out anxiously. Although it was winter in January, the cold sweat on my forehead kept dripping to the ground.
Zhao Hua struggled to crawl over to me. As he crawled, he said in a blurry voice,"I was the one who destroyed your house. If you have anything to say, come at me. F * ck, you better kill me today, or I'll kill you.”
Zhang Chao suddenly raised his arm to look at the time and said,"I'm sorry, one minute is up. Since you still haven't made a choice, I'll help you choose to preserve your dignity. I want your brother's hand.”
As he spoke, he raised the knife high up and aimed at my wrist. He suddenly slashed down with the knife. Seeing the bright knife coming down, I almost fainted. I wanted to shout, but I couldn't make a sound because of the rag in my mouth. I watched helplessly as the knife cut my hand.
At this moment, Zhao Hua suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted in a hoarse voice,"Grandpa Chao, I was wrong!"
This shout came too timely. Zhang Chao's knife slashed the ground beside my hand. The corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile as he said,"You're done apologizing, but you haven't kowtowed yet.”
Looking at Zhao Hua kneeling on the ground, I felt extremely humiliated. He was completely implicated by me. If it wasn't for me, how could he have suffered such humiliation? My tears were already flowing down my face. I whimpered and shook my head at Zhao Hua. At this moment, I felt like a piece of trash. I suddenly wanted to die. Even if I had to die, I wasn't afraid. However, I just couldn't watch my brother's dignity be trampled on because of me.
Zhao Hua knelt on the ground and looked at me with his face covered in blood. He suddenly smiled and said vaguely,"In my dictionary, there is no such thing as giving up on a brother. Since you are my brother, I will never give up on you. I am not even afraid of death.”
Zhao Hua's words moved me so much that I didn't know how to express it. At this moment, I only knew that I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked Huang Hai, Zhang Chao, or Ma Qiang. I provoked a group of demons, a group of demons that I couldn't face on my own.
Because I provoked them, my brother Lin is still in the emergency room. The two most important women to me, Anxin and Li Qian, have disappeared. Now, my brother Zhao Hua has lost his dignity because of me. What's the meaning of living for someone like me?
The more I thought about it, the more painful my heart became. I suddenly wanted to die. Looking at the knife in Zhang Chao's hand, I suddenly broke free from the burly man who was holding me down and used my neck to wipe the knife in Zhang Chao's hand.
Seeing my actions, Zhao Hua shouted,"No!"
Zhang Chao also noticed my actions at this time, but it was already too late for him to take the knife. Just as my neck was about to touch the knife in Zhang Chao's hand, my legs were suddenly swept by a burly man who dared to come from behind. I directly fell to the ground and failed to commit suicide.
The tears in Zhao Hua's eyes immediately fell. He kowtowed three times to Zhang Chao and shouted,""Grandpa Chao, I was wrong! I was wrong!"
After the last kowtow, Zhao Hua didn't get up. Instead, he kept crying and shouting that he was wrong. I was also pressed to the ground by the two burly men. I was completely stunned when I saw Zhao Hua kowtowing to the ground. Tears had already flowed down my face. What did I, Chu Tian, do to let me meet such a brother in my life?
Looking at Zhao Hua who was kneeling on the ground and apologizing loudly, Zhang Chao suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud. The more he laughed, the more ferocious he became. When his laughter stopped, his venomous eyes suddenly stared at Zhao Hua. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he raised the knife in his hand and rushed towards Zhao Hua who was kneeling on the ground.
"Zhao Hua!" I shouted. Quickly dodge!"
However, Zhao Hua acted as if he didn't hear my shout. He just knelt on the ground and smiled at me. With a pu sound, Zhang Chao's knife stabbed into Zhao Hua's stomach, and blood splattered on the ground like plum blossoms.
It suddenly started snowing. The first snow of the day came a little late. Were they waiting for this day to come? The white snow petals and the red blood were such a stark contrast.
I watched Zhao Hua's body fall into a pool of blood. My face was covered in tears. I wanted to cry loudly, but I realized that I couldn't make a sound. Only my tears flowed. I crawled towards Zhao Hua's body step by step.
I picked up Zhao Hua's body from the ground, whose consciousness was gradually dissipating. His eyes were still open, but the corners of his mouth were curled up. However, there was already blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His soft voice sounded,"Xiao…Xiao Tian, don't cry. I…I might not be able to hold on anymore. In the future, you have to be strong…strong. You have to protect Anxin and the people you love. Be strong. I…I'll sleep for a while.”
As Zhao Hua spoke, his eyes slowly closed. Looking at Zhao Hua with his eyes closed, I panicked. I covered his bleeding wound with both hands and sobbed,"Zhao Hua, Zhao Hua, don't sleep. Get up quickly. Don't f * cking sleep!”
My painful roar resounded through the sky. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier.
