Ma Wu looked at Xie Wendong seriously. According to his experience, Xie Wendong wasn't lying, and indeed Xie Wendong wasn't. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Ma Wu didn't want to offend Xie Wendong because of this matter. Gritting his teeth, he said, "All right! Since my brother has taken a fancy to her, I have nothing more to say. But brother, you must be careful and don't let her run away!"
Xie Wendong chuckled and said, "Brother Wu, do I look like someone who is so careless in doing things?"
Ma Wu nodded and said, "I believe in my brother's ability. You can take that girl away later! Brother, I won't keep you here today. I plan to deliver the goods in a few days. What do you think, brother!?"
Xie Wendong was very happy that Ma Wu agreed to give him the girl. He said, "No problem. I'll be waiting for your goods. Brother Wu, just wait to receive the money!"
Ma Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he and Xie Wendong looked at each other and laughed heartily. The girl got up as soon as Xie Wendong went out. She hid in the room and eavesdropped on their conversation through the crack of the door. Finally, she learned that the fat man with the big face was going to give her to that handsome young man. She had mixed feelings in her heart. She was glad that she felt the young man didn't seem like a bad guy. Although he wasn't a good person either, he was much better than the fat man with the big face. But she was worried that she didn't know where she would be taken. She might be getting farther and farther away from home, and maybe she would even be sold. The girl really had a complex mix of emotions in her heart now.
Xie Wendong talked with Ma Wu for a while longer. When it was noon, he bid farewell to Ma Wu. Ma Wu didn't try to keep him either. He called a car to send Xie Wendong and the girl back to County H together. Before they left, he also told Xie Wendong to be careful and not let the girl run away. Xie Wendong was so angry that he wanted to leave a footprint on Ma Wu's fat face, but in the end, he held back.
When they arrived in County H, Xie Wendong didn't stay. He asked the driver to take him directly to City J. The driver knew that he was Ma Wu's good friend and didn't dare to delay. He drove the car directly to City J. When they arrived near Xinxin Billiard Hall, Xie Wendong pulled the girl out of the car and told the driver to go back. Xie Wendong didn't want Ma Wu's people to know the meeting point on his side.
Xie Wendong pulled the girl's hand and came to Xinxin. There were dozens of brothers inside with worried looks on their faces, discussing something. "Why are so many people in Xinxin? Could something have happened?" Xie Wendong had a bad feeling. He pushed the door open and shouted loudly, "What are you all doing here? What's going on?"
As soon as everyone saw Xie Wendong, they immediately surrounded him. One person said anxiously, "Brother Dong, it's not good. Something really big has happened!"
Xie Wendong looked at him and said, "What happened? Explain it clearly to me!"
Everyone started talking all at once, and it was a mess. Xie Wendong listened for a long time but didn't understand. He shouted, "Stop making noise! Speak one by one. Tell me what's going on?" Xie Wendong pointed at the person who had just spoken. That person said with a sobbing voice, "B... Brother Dong! Brother Shuang was hacked by someone... He was hacked seventeen times and is in the hospital. Brother Qiang was arrested by the police!"
After hearing this, Xie Wendong's head buzzed. This sentence was like a thunderbolt. He grabbed the man's collar and asked, "Where's San Yan? Where is San Yan?"
Seeing Xie Wendong like this, the man was so scared that his voice trembled as he said, "He's... He's at Ghost Domain!"
Xie Wendong let him go and turned around to walk out. Suddenly, he saw the girl standing aside and looking at him. Xie Wendong let go of the girl's hand and handed her over to the brothers in Xinxin. Then he said, "Lock her in the inner room. No one is allowed to touch her, but don't let her run away either!" Everyone looked at the girl, then at Xie Wendong, and nodded stupidly.
Xie Wendong strode out of Xinxin and took a car to Ghost Domain. When he arrived at the entrance, he saw many brothers standing outside, not knowing what they were arguing about. Xie Wendong was anxious and angry. He had only been away for less than a day, and such a big thing had happened. The gang was in chaos. He shouted loudly, "What are you all standing here for?"
Everyone heard the sound and turned around. When they saw it was Xie Wendong, they surrounded him like they had seen a savior. Xie Wendong was eager to see San Yan and shouted, "Where's San Yan?" One person shouted loudly, "Brother San Yan is inside!" Xie Wendong pushed through the crowd and walked in. There were no customers in the disco hall. The lights were on brightly, and there were no less than two hundred people standing in the venue. The noise was deafening. San Yan, Zhang Yanjiang, and He Haoran were discussing something on one side. Xie Wendong shouted loudly, "Quiet down, all of you!" In an instant, the noise in the disco hall disappeared, and everyone's faces showed joy at the same time. When San Yan and the others saw Xie Wendong, their eyes were slightly red, and they quickly ran over.
San Yan came up to Xie Wendong, slapped himself twice in the face first, "Brother Dong, it's all my fault! If it wasn't for my being impulsive, Lao Fei (Li Shuang) and Qiangzi (Gao Qiang) wouldn't have been in trouble. Punish me!" After saying that, San Yan knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and tears flowed out.
Xie Wendong's heart was in a mess. He pulled San Yan up and walked towards the private room. Zhang Yanjiang and He Haoran followed behind.
In the private room, Xie Wendong closed the door and asked, "Brother Zhang, don't talk about anything else for now. Tell me exactly what happened?"
San Yan told the story in detail. It turned out that after San Yan and the others sent Xie Wendong off, San Yan saw that everyone was in low spirits and suggested that they not go back to school but go to Ghost Domain for some fun. Li Shuang and the others were depressed, so they agreed. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Ghost Domain, it was in chaos. Most of the brothers who stayed in Ghost Domain were covered in injuries and lying on the ground. Sister Shui was extremely busy on the side. San Yan and the others quickly asked what had happened. A relatively conscious brother said that a gang called the Sickle Gang had come to cause trouble here, beating up all the brothers who were guarding the place. Before leaving, they left a message, telling the Wendong Society to withdraw from Ghost Domain within three days. Otherwise, they would attack every member of the Wendong Society they saw in the future.
Li Shuang was already in a bad mood. After hearing this, he exploded. He took out a knife and was about to go and fight the Sickle Gang. San Yan originally wanted to stop him, but he was also a bit angry. When had the Wendong Society ever been bullied by others! He asked Sister Shui if she knew about the Sickle Gang. Sister Shui told him that the Yagami Disco Hall not far from Ghost Domain was under the protection of the Sickle Gang. San Yan sneered and immediately called Xinxin, telling everyone to find people and bring weapons to Ghost Domain. In less than half an hour, fifty brothers from Xinxin arrived. San Yan led them out, ready to settle accounts with the Sickle Gang. Zhang Yanjiang felt it was inappropriate and stopped San Yan, saying that they should wait for Brother Dong to come back before making a decision. San Yan ignored Zhang Yanjiang and led the people away. Li Shuang and Gao Qiang followed San Yan to Yagami. Zhang Yanjiang saw that he couldn't stop them, so he had to follow. Unexpectedly, after everyone entered Yagami, they didn't find a single person. Zhang Yanjiang and San Yan almost simultaneously realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to retreat. Dozens of young people rushed out from the private rooms of the disco hall and from outside the door, wielding machetes and slashing at anyone they saw. The brothers of the Wendong Society were caught off guard, and several people were immediately hacked down. San Yan led the brothers to fight desperately and finally managed to break out of Yagami, but Li Shuang and Gao Qiang were trapped inside. When San Yan wanted to fight back again, the sound of police sirens came from a distance. Zhang Yanjiang forcefully pulled San Yan and led the brothers away. And Li Shuang inside blocked Gao Qiang in the private room and used his body to block the door to hold back the opponents. When the police arrived, Li Shuang had been hacked seventeen times, and every wound reached the bone. When he was sent to the city central hospital by the police, he was already unconscious. The Sickle Gang told the police that these people had come in to rob, and they had no choice but to fight back. The leader of the Sickle Gang had a connection with the police captain. The captain didn't say a word and arrested Gao Qiang. Gao Qiang took all the blame on himself at the police station. How could the police believe it? They used all kinds of torture, but Gao Qiang refused to confess.
In this battle, twenty members of the Wendong Society were injured and admitted to the hospital, and ten were arrested by the police. Li Shuang was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and Gao Qiang was arrested. Two of the five main leaders of the society were gone. It could be described as a disastrous defeat.
After hearing this, Xie Wendong took a long breath, closed his eyes, and leaned against the sofa without speaking for a long time. San Yan and the other two stood beside Xie Wendong, not daring to breathe loudly. Xie Wendong kept telling himself in his heart: Calm down! Calm down! He tried his best to control his emotions and calm down, slowly pondering over San Yan's words. After a long while, Xie Wendong opened his eyes. His cold gaze swept over the three of them and said, "There is a mole in the society!"
San Yan's body trembled. He would rather Xie Wendong punish him than hear these words. The brothers in the society were usually like a family, and he himself regarded every brother as his own real brother. Who could betray the Wendong Society? Xie Wendong's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into San Yan's heart.
Xie Wendong continued, "Brother Zhang, go and withdraw 100,000 yuan for me, and also find out the address of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Chief's home. I'm going to see Xiao Shuang now! No one follow me!" After saying that, Xie Wendong looked at the three of them, sighed, and walked to the door. Xie Wendong stopped and turned to San Yan and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. Even if I were there at that time, I would have made the same choice as you!" San Yan knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, looking at Xie Wendong, and shouted, "Brother Dong!" A strong man like San Yan burst into tears. Zhang Yanjiang and the other beside him also had tears streaming down their faces.
"We need to learn from our failures! But I will never let my enemies go! You stand up and be strong for me!" Xie Wendong shouted and walked out of the private room. After coming out, the brothers outside saw that Xie Wendong's face didn't look good and automatically made way for him. No one said a word. After Xie Wendong walked out of Ghost Domain, he let out a long shout to the sky, venting the pent-up anger in his heart. Then he took a car and went straight to the central hospital.
After arriving, Xie Wendong asked the nurse about Li Shuang's ward. After learning that it was Room 302, he quickly ran there. This ward was an intensive care unit, and the patients inside were all in a critical condition. Seeing that there was no police guarding the door, Xie Wendong was about to push the door open when a nurse stopped him, "Hey! Don't you know that you're not allowed in here?! Please step aside!"
Xie Wendong ignored her and opened the door and walked in. The nurse grabbed his clothes and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? I've already said that you can't come in here, and you're still going in! Are you crazy?!"
When Xie Wendong opened the door, he saw Li Shuang wrapped in bandages all over his body, lying pale on the sickbed. He felt as if his heart had been torn apart. Xie Wendong's eyes were red. He turned around and stared at the nurse who was holding his clothes. The nurse was so scared by Xie Wendong's gaze that she stood there motionless, and her hand naturally loosened. Xie Wendong took three steps at a time and came to the bedside. He grabbed Li Shuang's hand and softly called his name: "Xiao Shuang! Xiao Shuang!..."
Li Shuang felt someone and slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly ahead. His other hand with the drip needle groped forward blankly. "Are... are you Brother Dong?"
Xie Wendong looked at Li Shuang in surprise and waved his hand in front of his eyes. Li Shuang didn't blink and showed no reaction at all. "Is Xiao Shuang blind?" Xie Wendong shouted in his heart. Tears could no longer be held back and fell on the white bedsheet.
Li Shuang's hand waved in the air, and he said weakly, "Is it Brother Dong? Is it really Brother Dong?"
Xie Wendong grabbed Li Shuang's hand and placed it on his face, choking up and saying, "It's me! Xiao Shuang, I've come to see you!"
"Brother Dong, you're back! That's great. I was still worried about the things in the gang!"
"Don't think too much. It's all right!"
Li Shuang forced a smile and said, "Brother Dong, I thought I would never see you again. I'm so happy to see that you've come!" "Brother Dong, why is your face wet? Have you been crying? I'm fine. Don't be sad for me." "Lying in bed, I don't know why, but as soon as I close my eyes, I think of the days I spent with you. This period of time is the happiest time for me, happy from the bottom of my heart." "I really miss Qiangzi. I don't know why he didn't come?" "Brother Dong, isn't the world much quieter without me by your side!"
Xie Wendong didn't speak and quietly listened to every word Li Shuang said. The pain in his heart couldn't be expressed in words. He wished that it was himself lying in bed instead of Li Shuang. Scenes of the past with Li Shuang emerged in front of his eyes. Was that chubby little guy who was always laughing and joking by his side really going to leave him?! Xie Wendong couldn't accept it, and he wouldn't accept it. Holding Li Shuang's hand, Xie Wendong said softly, "Xiao Shuang, you'll be all right. You still have to fight alongside me to conquer the world in the future! You said that, and a man keeps his promise! Didn't you say that you listen to me the most? I order you not to leave me!"
Li Shuang wanted to smile at Xie Wendong, but he didn't have the strength. He felt so tired and slowly closed his eyes, with a tear flowing from the corner of his eye.
Xie Wendong didn't let go of Li Shuang's hand and just sat there quietly.
"Looking at hesitation boredly, it's not easy to reach the ideal. Even if there is confidence, the fighting spirit is suppressed. Who decides whether I go or stay, and defines the universe in my heart..." Xie Wendong softly hummed "No More Hesitation" by BEYOND. This was a song that Li Shuang, Xie Wendong, Gao Qiang, and the others liked to listen to the most.
Xie Wendong sang slowly and softly. I don't know how many times he sang it. The nurse at the door came in and walked up to Xie Wendong and said softly, "Your friend is asleep. Don't disturb him anymore. Let him have a good rest. I believe he will get better!" The nurse had seen what happened just now and was touched by the friendship between Xie Wendong and Li Shuang. Her attitude towards Xie Wendong was much better than before.
The nurse's voice woke up Xie Wendong, who was lost in memories. He found that a large part of his clothes was wet with his tears. Xie Wendong smiled slightly at the nurse, stood up, and said, "I apologize for what happened just now. Could you tell me what's wrong with my friend's eyes?"
The nurse said, "That's a sequela caused by excessive blood loss! It will be all right after a while!"
After hearing this, Xie Wendong let out a long sigh of relief and thanked the nurse. After taking a deep look at Li Shuang in bed, he turned around and walked out of the ward. Looking at Xie Wendong's back, the nurse added in her heart, if he can still be alive after a while! But she didn't say this to Xie Wendong. Seeing Xie Wendong's appearance, she didn't want to add more burden to him.
Walking on the busy street, Li Shuang's pale face kept appearing in Xie Wendong's mind. For the first time, he began to doubt the path he was taking. No matter how smooth his path was, it was still a dark path, a path that could never see the light. Today, it was Li Shuang lying in the hospital bed. Tomorrow, it could be San Yan, Gao Qiang, or maybe himself. On this path, life was never guaranteed. Was it really necessary to let his brothers risk their lives for his own ideals? Xie Wendong didn't know, and no one would teach him. He had to walk his own path alone.
