"Many people are addicted to it, some children are so addicted to online games that they experience hallucinations. Some have even committed suicide."
"Oh, I remember now, I saw it on TV."
"Um."
What are pornographic websites?
"It's a place specifically for showing pornographic movies and videos."
"Oh, do you want money?"
Dong Wenqi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at him, saying, "No money needed!"
"No money needed, no money needed!" Xu Zhengyang's face lit up with joy. What a great deal! Then he realized it wasn't appropriate. Discussing these things with a young lady was a bit... awkward.
"You lecherous bastard, men are all the same," Dong Wenqi muttered.
Xu Zhengyang felt ashamed and coughed twice.
Dong Wenqi said angrily, "Just so you know, porn sites are full of viruses! You'd better not go there..."
"Actually... I don't have that much time to go online, let alone watch porn. I don't even have time to watch movies, I'm too busy," Xu Zhengyang explained with a wry smile. His expression truly reflected the helplessness of a big star complaining about not being able to live a normal life, while secretly thinking, "As a god, I must be holy, bright, and great! No, I'm still just a person, a pitiful man who's over twenty-two after the New Year, who once secretly watched porn and read two erotic books, yet is still a pure virgin..."
However, his words reminded Dong Wenqi, who already considered Xu Zhengyang a complete friend and younger brother. Yes, Xu Zhengyang was young, uneducated, and without a prestigious family background, yet he had managed to break into the city and achieve what many envied. How much hard work and effort had he put in? Where would he find the time to chat online or watch porn? It seemed he knew everything, and was just deliberately trying to amuse himself.
Dong Wenqi suddenly felt a little disappointed and dejected. She sighed and turned her head very seriously, saying, "I'm sorry."
"Um?"
I misunderstood you.
"No, no..."
Dong Wenqi smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "Here. Help me get a pen and notebook from my desk. I'll write down the QQ number I just registered for you. The password is 1234567. You can change the password yourself when you have time to go online."
Xu Zhengyang got up and went to the desk to get a pen and notebook, saying, "I don't know how."
"You'll get it eventually," Dong Wenqi said, as she suddenly had a bright idea and filled in the four words "Not a Legend" as the name of her newly registered QQ account.
Xu Zhengyang didn't quite understand these things yet, so he didn't think about anything else. When Dong Wenqi wrote down his QQ number and password in the notebook and tore off the piece of paper and handed it to him, he took it and thanked her repeatedly, then stuffed it into his pocket.
Outside, Dong Yuebu and Yu Shuhua had already prepared two dishes and placed them on the dining table in the middle of the living room. The aroma of meat wafted in. Xu Zhengyang scratched his head and said, "I didn't want to come, thinking that coming would only cause you trouble and make things difficult..."
"Hehe, our family should thank you properly," Dong Wenqi said with a smile.
"Really, no need. Sigh." Xu Zhengyang sighed.
Just as Dong Wenqi was about to say something more, she heard a steady, soft knocking sound coming from outside.
Who is it?
Dong Yuebu placed a plate of stir-fried meat and fresh mushrooms on the table, walked to the door, and looked out through the peephole. He saw three men standing outside. Two men, around thirty years old, were near the door, and the last man was a middle-aged man in his fifties who was wearing a black down jacket and glasses and looked very refined.
"Hello, is this Master Dong's house?" one of the young men asked with a smile.
Dong Yuebu was somewhat puzzled, but seeing that the two young men were carrying some nutritional supplements and didn't seem like they had any ill intentions, he opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Who are you...?"
The two men did not answer, but instead walked in somewhat rudely, followed by the middle-aged man with a gloomy expression.
Dong Yuebu was practically pushed aside, and he was immediately annoyed. He frowned and asked, "Hey, who are you people?"
The three ignored him and went straight to the sofa in the living room, ignoring Chen Chaojiang who was sitting quietly watching TV.
The middle-aged man sat down on the sofa, while two young men stood beside him. One of them went over and turned off the TV, completely ignoring the pale-faced young man in his twenties who was watching it.
Chen Chaojiang tilted his head slightly, glanced at the three of them, and showed no dissatisfaction in his long, icy eyes.
Unfortunately, none of the three looked into his icy eyes.
"I am He Zhaoqian, the general manager of Baisheng Trading Company, and also He Bin's father," the middle-aged man said calmly with a gloomy face.
"Huh?" Dong Yuebu was taken aback, then said somewhat uneasily, "You, is there something you need?"
Seeing Dong Yuebu's somewhat awkward and uneasy appearance, He Zhaoqian sneered and said, "I think... what's done is done, and I've paid the compensation I owed. There's no need for you to pursue this further, right?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Dong Yuebu said sullenly, frowning.
At this moment, Yu Shuhua came out of the kitchen, her face stern, and said, "You are not welcome in our home. Please leave!"
He Zhaoqian shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "As long as you don't pursue this matter, I can give you an extra 20,000 yuan. My son has been in the detention center for more than a month. He did something wrong and has been punished. I don't want him to be sentenced to prison. I think you can understand the feelings of a father."
"But have you ever tried to understand us?" Yu Shuhua said angrily.
He Zhaoqian sighed. Ever since his son was arrested, he had been plagued by bad luck, and he was truly furious and angry. Now his younger brother had been dismissed from his position as deputy director, and his son was facing imprisonment. He was filled with hatred... Originally, he hadn't intended to seek revenge on Dong Yuebu's family. After all, it was his son who had made the mistake first, causing the girl to break her leg. It was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. What if she had died? And what if his son had actually raped her? He Zhaoqian was initially completely unaware of this matter until after his son's arrest, when he learned that Dong Yuebu's family actually had some kind of relationship with the director of the municipal bureau.
This is outrageous! It's like daring to offend the most powerful figures.
However, in recent days, he finally learned that it was not Dong Yuebu's family who had a relationship with the city bureau chief, but rather with a rural family who lived in the same hospital room. They had probably helped Dong Yuebu's family because they couldn't stand He Bin and his two subordinates' behavior.
That makes things easier. He Zhaoqian was in a terrible mood due to a series of misfortunes, so this news brought him some relief, as his son could avoid imprisonment. After making some arrangements over the past two days, some people reminded him that if he could get the Dong Yuebu family to drop the matter and forgive him, and with a little more effort, he could basically avoid being sentenced to prison.
Therefore, He Zhaoqian came uninvited today.
After all, the recent string of misfortunes had put him in a bad mood, and the Dong Yuebu family were just ordinary people, so He Zhaoqian didn't put on a gentle or pitiful act or speak to them in a pleading tone. Instead, he brought two thugs from his own nightclub today, offering money and threats of violence.
"Some things are better left unsaid. Don't take them too seriously; it won't do you any good." He Zhaoqian said with a gloomy face, his tone already carrying a threatening undertone.
Dong Yuebu felt a tremor of fear, but his male nature made him grit his teeth and say, "Don't try to scare us with that. Our family isn't afraid."
Yu Shuhua, who had been so assertive before, suddenly became hesitant. She knew all too well that it was easier to dodge a spear than a hidden arrow, and if someone were to retaliate in secret later, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, Yu Shuhua couldn't bring herself to soften her stance, so she simply stared defiantly at He Zhaoqian.
"Luck isn't something you can have every day," He Zhaoqian said coldly. "When people go out, go to work, or take a walk, accidents can happen..."
Dong Yuebu and Yu Shuhua gritted their teeth but said nothing; they were genuinely afraid. These were wealthy people; if they hired thugs or even gangsters to retaliate against them… the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't fucking push your luck!" one of the young men threatened viciously.
The other person then threatened, "If you don't know what's good for you, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Chen Chaojiang sat on the sofa without saying a word, not even glancing at the three of them, just smoking with his head down, as if there was no one else in the room.
"Breakthrough and murder...that's a very serious crime." A calm and ordinary voice came from one of the bedrooms inside.
Apart from Chen Chaojiang, who remained unmoved, everyone else in the living room was startled and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Volume 3, Judge, Chapter 138: Bloodshed and Calamity Here
A young man in a brown leather jacket, with an ordinary appearance, walked out of the bedroom with a smile. He went straight to the living room, dragged a chair from the dining table, and sat down opposite He Zhaoqian. He squinted and smiled, "Manager He, are you complaining that things haven't been going too well lately, with so few troubles?"
He Zhaoqian frowned. The young man's words seemed to imply that he knew he had been having a lot of bad luck lately. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm here as a guest. I used to learn to drive from Master Dong... you could say I was his apprentice," Xu Zhengyang said with a smile.
He Zhaoqian relaxed, thinking that this seemingly ordinary young man probably didn't have any real ability; he was just young and impetuous, trying to embolden Dong Yuebu. So He Zhaoqian said with a sneer, "Young man, meddling in other people's business will only get you into trouble."
"Really?" Xu Zhengyang smiled and said, "What did Manager He say just now? Some things should be let go, don't take them too seriously, it won't do any good. Is that what he said?"
He Zhaoqian stared at Xu Zhengyang with a cold and gloomy expression.
His two subordinates were already about to lose their temper. Damn it, where did this ignorant bumpkin come from, daring to talk to President He like that? One of them cursed, "Hey kid, are you itching for a beating or tired of living?" As he spoke, he raised his hand to slap Xu Zhengyang on the shoulder.
In that instant, Chen Chaojiang, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly had a gleaming dagger in his left hand.
Before the man could pat his shoulder, Xu Zhengyang looked up at him and said as soon as the man finished speaking, "Don't touch me, you'll regret it."
"Damn it! You're pretty cocky, kid." The man had only intended to pat the kid on the shoulder as a threat, but he never expected the kid to say something like that. He was furious and raised his hand to slap Xu Zhengyang on the head.
Whoosh!
Just as his hand was raised and swung down less than half a foot, a cold glint flashed through the air with a soft sound. *Poof!*
The sharp, cold blade pierced precisely into the man's palm.
The man was stunned for a moment, then a piercing pain shot through him, and he cried out in pain, clutching his right wrist with his left hand.
Before anyone else could react, the pale-faced, thin young man who had been sitting on the sofa suddenly sprang to life, without touching any tables, chairs, or people. In the blink of an eye, he rushed from the narrow space to the person stabbed by the dagger and swiftly threw a punch. He then kicked, and with two loud thuds, a scream rang out.
The man, whose right hand had been stabbed, didn't even have a chance to back away. His body was thrown against the wall by the door and fell to the ground with a thud, crying out in pain.
Upon seeing this, another man didn't have time to think and pounced on Chen Chaojiang.
Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and was tripped by Xu Zhengyang's seemingly unintentional slightly protruding foot, causing him to fall headfirst into Chen Chaojiang's back.
Without turning his head, Chen Chaojiang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He shifted his body to the side, his right arm suddenly reaching out and twisting the man's arm. He then swung the man diagonally and slammed him heavily onto the man who was curled up against the wall, screaming and convulsing in pain.
Chen Chaojiang didn't stop. He followed up and kicked the two men, who were screaming in pain, several times. Then, without any panic, he bent down, reached out, and forcefully pulled the dagger out of the man's right palm.
A piercing scream echoed throughout the room.
He Zhaoqian sat blankly on the sofa, his previously gloomy face turning pale. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead and cheeks.
Xu Zhengyang shook his head helplessly. Chen Chaojiang really went all out.
Xu Zhengyang ignored He Zhaoqian, got up and walked to the two men who were screaming in pain. He took out gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then raised his hand and said, "Give me the daggers. Hmm, you have four, right? Give me two."
Without any hesitation, Chen Chaojiang pulled out another dagger and handed both daggers to Xu Zhengyang.
Taking the daggers, Xu Zhengyang held both blades in one hand and slowly wiped the hilts a few times with the other. Then he squatted down, grabbed the man's left hand (whose right hand was stabbed), and placed the hilt of the dagger into his hand, saying softly, "Here you go. I'll give you another chance..."
After saying that, ignoring the stunned look on the other person's face, who had forgotten to cry out in pain due to surprise and fear, he grabbed the other person's right hand, stuffed the remaining dagger into the other person's hand, and smiled and said, "If you can still get up, let's fight again."
Not only the two of them, but everyone else in the room was stunned.
What is Xu Zhengyang up to?
Chen Chaojiang stood coldly to the side, not saying a word. His narrow eyes were icy and devoid of any warmth. But he was also puzzled. Did Zheng Yang want these two to fight me again?
"Sigh, what's the point?" Xu Zhengyang chuckled, got up, and walked back to the chair, sitting down again, no longer glancing at the two injured men. He wasn't worried at all that they would rush at him with daggers; with Chen Chaojiang around, Xu Zhengyang wouldn't be concerned even if there were two more of those people. Besides… his own martial arts skills wouldn't be a threat to two ordinary thugs. Xu Zhengyang smiled at He Zhaoqian, whose forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and said calmly, "Your son committed a crime and should be punished by law. But you, as the father, also bear an unshirkable responsibility. Who gave him his arrogance and recklessness? That's why you've had so many bad luck these past few days, and you were destined to suffer bloodshed. But I never imagined that your bloodshed would be today, and that it would be caused by me…"
“You…” He Zhaoqian was dumbfounded, not understanding what Xu Zhengyang was talking about, and how did he know that everything was going wrong for him? What was this “bloodshed”?
Before he could even react, Xu Zhengyang suddenly leaned forward and threw a punch at him.
He Zhaoqian instinctively dodged, but he was no match for the speed of the incoming fist, which struck him squarely on the bridge of his nose with a loud thud.
"Ah!" He Zhaoqian cried out in pain, tilting his head back as blood streamed from his nose.
Xu Zhengyang didn't stop at all. After throwing a punch, he grabbed He Zhaoqian's hair, stopped him from leaning back, pulled him and threw him to the ground, then kicked him in the face twice in a row.
He Zhaoqian's nose was broken, and his eyes were also split open by Xu Zhengyang's kick, with blood flowing out and screaming in agony.
“I told you, armed burglary is a serious crime, sigh.” Xu Zhengyang sneered, then turned to Dong Yuebu and reminded him, “Master Dong, what are you standing there for? Call the police!”
"Huh?" Dong Yuebu had just recovered from his shock and had no idea what Xu Zhengyang meant by those words.
Yu Shuhua was the first to react, and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, they came to our house armed, wanting to retaliate and commit violence... I, I'll call the police right away." As she spoke, Yu Shuhua rushed to the phone to dial the police number, thinking to herself, "This young Xu Zhengyang, what a ruthless and cunning heart!"
At this point, anyone in the room who still doesn't understand Xu Zhengyang's previous actions would be a fool.
