Shanghai, Dynasty Clubhouse.
Inside the resplendent and magnificent lounge on the third floor, Li Zhen and his gang drank and chatted while a group of beautiful girls surrounded them, as if they had completely forgotten the previous humiliation.
In the sofa at the corner, Yu Zhi regained consciousness as an unbearable headache struck him. He had to use his arms to support himself for awhile before slowly changing to a sitting position. A wave of anger burst inside his heart when he caught sight of his brothers all fine and drinking.
_This is so wrong! These bastards are not my brothers!_
_I got beaten up and they neglected me. But they got so far as having a party?! Motherfuckers… you’re all heartless shits!_
Clenching his fist, Yu Zhi didn’t flare up. He stood still, and then went toward the door step by step.
“Huh? Yu Zhi woke up?”
Accidentally seeing Yu Zhi standing up, one of the youths immediately cried out.
Li Zhen raised his head. As he saw the scowling expression on Yu Zhi’s face, he quickly released the girl in his embrace. He then stood and blocked Yu Zhi’s path, asking with a puzzled expression, “Hey, Yu Zhi, where are you going?”
Yu Zhi stopped walking. His eyes swept over Li Zhen with a cold and detached expression and asked indifferently, “I’m sure I got fucking beaten up. Tell me, what happened afterward?”
Li Zhen’s complexion turned stiff. He turned around to look at the others, waved his hand and said, “Women, all of you out!”
After a short while, all the women left, leaving only Li Zhen and his gang.
“Yu Zhi, this punk, the one that beat you has quite a background. Do you remember me saying that I lost a bet with someone in the car race in Changxi City? The person who defeated me was that punk. I gave him my word that I’d stay the hell away from him when I see him. So…” Li Zhen forced a bitter smile and didn’t finish his words.
Squinting his eyes in response, Yu Zhi indifferently said, “In other words, you remained faithful to your brother thus you brought me back. Regardless, you avoided him like a plague and ran with your tail between your legs, am I right?”
“This…”
Li Zhen and the others exchanged dismayed looks. They wore awkward and embarrassed expressions on their faces.
“Forget it. Let’s not raise this shit for now! You continue playing, I’m leaving. I still got something to do.” Said Yu Zhi.
Having said that, he bypassed Li Zhen and walked out.
With a slightly unsightly expression, Li Zhen watched Yu Zhi’s disappearing back. He suddenly had a hunch that he just lost a brother yet again. It was just like in the past. Those goddamn traitors who became Yue Yang’s underlings and cut off any relations with them.
His expression fluctuated. Jolted by his thoughts, he turned around shouting, “Go! Bring him back to me.”
The several youths glanced at each other before immediately chasing after Yu Zhi. Quickly, Yu Zhi was dragged back to the lounge.
“Yu Zhi, we are brothers. Don’t pretend to be stupid. I know that punk beat you, and we naturally won’t leave it like that. But before we act, we must investigate his background and identity. Only after we know our enemy’s capital can we work out a revenge plan.” Li Zhen clamped a cigarette and spoke seriously.
Staring at Li Zhen with a cold and detached expression, Yu Zhi indifferently said, “My head hurts. Staying here doesn’t feel good for me. Since you don’t want to send me to the hospital, then I’ll go myself. Can I?”
“…”
Li Zhen and the others instantly realized his meaning. Their complexion turned unsightly. When all was said and done, they truly didn’t thought to send Yu Zhi to the hospital before.
“This negligence is our fault. Accept this glass of wine as an apology on behalf of our brotherhood.” Li Zhen forced a wry smile and said.
Yu Zhi took the glass of booze, yet wasn’t in a hurry to drink it. Rather, he calmly said, “Li Zhen, I now finally understand why Huan Zi betrayed us back then. I don’t wanna say it too clearly, for it won’t look good for us. I’ll drink this glass of wine and then go to the hospital to check my injury. You can continue playing here.”
Having said that, he drank the booze, put the glass down and turned around to leave.
This time, Li Zhen didn’t stop him. The unsightliness on his face turned to the extreme. He sat back on the sofa and fell into silence, slowly closing his eyes.
He was never a brainless man. He knew perfectly well what Yu Zhi was implying with his words. Although Yu Zhi didn’t say it straightforwardly, yet it was highly likely that he would no longer hang out with them.
“Fuck…”
The instant Li Zhen opened his eyes, he grabbed the glass in front of him and fiercely threw it on the floor.
The other youths exchanged looks in dismay, but no one said anything.
Taking a deep breath and pacifying himself for a while, Li Zhen then said in a heavy voice, “Rain must fall down from the sky, while women will also have to marry someday. So let’s just live with it! You all have seen Yu Zhi’s actions recently. This guy is usually very crazy and never eats any losses. Were he to go after that surnamed Tang, just observe it quietly. I have no means to test out the weight this surnamed Tang possesses. Since he’s going to test the waters for us, we’ll just wait and see.”
“This…”
The others felt cold inside as they quickly glanced and each other and didn’t utter any words.
