Flip the table and divide the family property! Take his wife and daughter into the mountains and eat

That shout was like a thunderclap exploding in the deathly silent corridor!

In the ward, Ma San's hand, which was hanging in mid-air, suddenly froze, and the smugness and smile on his face instantly vanished.

Liu Cuier's thin back trembled violently, her previously lifeless eyes suddenly widened, and her breath caught in her throat.

Outside the door, Liu Changgui, who was huddled on the bench baring his teeth, was like a stray dog ​​whose tail had been stepped on. He tumbled off the bench, covered his bandaged ear, and rushed into the middle of the corridor without even caring about the pain.

"What?!"

"What did you say?!"

Liu Changgui screamed in a hoarse voice, spitting everywhere: "Who?! Who drove the Liberation truck?! Who burned my house down?!"

The man who arrived was Zhao Da Nao, the security chief of Xia Kanzi Village. He had been riding his broken bicycle wildly for more than ten miles along the mountain road. He had even lost his cotton hat. His head and face were covered with sweat and frost from the cold. He was panting heavily, his hands supporting his knees, like a broken bellows.

"Who else could it be?!"

Zhao Da Nao, breathless, pointed at Liu Changgui and stamped his feet: "Er Ga Zi! It's that Er Ga Zi from Kaoshantun!"

"That kid's completely gone mad! He drove his transport truck barefoot into our village, straight at your yard without even letting up on the gas, and with a 'bang,' he smashed the gate and the entire main wall of the house down!"

"The villagers had just heard the commotion and put on their clothes to go out and see what was happening when the man pulled two large iron barrels out of the truck bed, poured gasoline all over the yard, and threw a match at them!"

"The flames shot up three zhang (approximately 10 meters) high! When the wind blew, it set fire to the pile of timber you had stacked in the yard, the three mud-brick houses, and even the straw mats and cabinets inside! Now the entire east end is burning as bright as day, the roof beams have collapsed, and even the villagers who went to put out the fire are kept away from the heat!"

"It's all burned to ashes! Not even a single hair is left!!"

"boom--"

Liu Changgui felt as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded in his skull, his vision went black, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the cold, damp cement floor with a thud.

"My house...my timber...all the wealth I've accumulated over most of my life!!"

He let out a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, clutching his tightly bandaged ears, and rolled wildly on the ground:

"You little beast! Erga, you heartless, childless bastard! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to report you to the police station! I'm going to execute your whole family!!"

In the ward, Ma San, his face ashen, strode to the door.

"What are you yelling about?!"

Ma San pushed open the wooden door of the ward and stepped out, his face so gloomy it could have been covered in frost.

As if grasping at a straw, Liu Changgui on the ground scrambled to Ma San's feet, grabbed Ma San's leg tightly, and cried with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Ma San! You've come at the right time! You have to stand up for me!"

Liu Changgui, his face contorted like a white rice dumpling, howled in a hoarse, heart-wrenching voice:

"That Ergaizi from Kaoshantun is a reckless mad dog!"

"He came to my house this afternoon to arrange a blind date with Cui'er. That brat Cui'er didn't like him and even slapped him a couple of times in front of him. What's the big deal? In all the villages around here, there's no reason to force a marriage just because someone arranged a blind date!"

"Who knew that little beast could be so ruthless and heartless!"

"Just because the marriage proposal fell through, in the middle of the night, a several-ton truck rammed into my yard, collapsing it completely. Two barrels of gasoline and a huge fire burned everything, including the house and all the timber I'd saved up for most of my life! This isn't a blind date; this is an attempt to wipe out the entire Liu family!"

"Shut the hell up first!"

Ma San suddenly raised his leg and kicked Liu Changgui, who was lying at his feet, sending him tumbling over.

Ma San stood still, his hands in his leather jacket pockets. His sinister triangular eyes slowly swept over Zhao Da's head, who was cowering to the side, before finally settling on Liu Changgui.

The short scar beneath his eye twitched slightly. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling undertone that sent shivers down one's spine.

"You just said..."

"That guy went to your house for a blind date in the afternoon, and that night he drove a truck with two cans of gasoline and razed your yard to the ground?"

Liu Changgui lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to look up, covering his face and nodding repeatedly, "It's...it's him! It's absolutely true!"

Ma San sneered, a strange smile curving his lips:

"Liu Changgui, I've known you for a long time."

"There are plenty of failed blind dates in the surrounding villages. I've lived for over thirty years and I've never seen anyone drive a heavy truck in the middle of the night and risk their life to start a fire just because a girl said a few cold words to them."

Ma San took half a step forward, his leather shoes making a dull thud on the cold cement floor.

He looked down at Liu Changgui, his gaze gradually darkening.

"You old bastard, what kind of shameful secrets are you hiding that you haven't told me yet?"

"No! I swear to God, absolutely not!"

Liu Changgui trembled with fear, scrambling over to turn over and swearing an oath, pointing to the sky and gesturing to the ground:

"Ma San! Everyone in these surrounding villages knows what kind of person and what kind of temper I am. I've been an honest and law-abiding person my whole life. I wouldn't dare to hide anything from you even if you gave me ten lives!"

He covered his swollen and deformed cheek, blood and saliva spurting from his mouth, crying out in utter injustice and grievance:

"It really is that simple! That Ergaizi is just a brain-dead idiot! He went to her house for a blind date this afternoon, but Cui'er looked down on him for being poor and useless, and immediately gave him the cold shoulder, telling him to get lost! That guy is petty as a pinhole; his eyes turned red right then and there, and he said a few harsh words before turning and leaving!"

Liu Changgui got more and more excited as he spoke, managing to turn black into white:

"Who would have thought he'd actually dare to commit such heinous acts of murder, arson, and ransacking our home?! That kid's a complete mad dog; if he can't get Cui'er, he'll try to destroy our whole family! Ma San, if I, Liu Changgui, dare to lie to you even a single word, may I be run over by the Liberation Army truck when I get out of here, and may I be struck by lightning!!"

Ma San stood still, his sinister triangular eyes slowly turning as he rapidly considered the matter.

They drove a heavy machine weighing several tons into the main room, which collapsed, and then set the house on fire with two full barrels of gasoline on the spot...

It doesn't seem as simple as Liu Changgui's claim that "it's just because the girl cursed at him a couple of times and he's petty."

There are plenty of hotheads in the surrounding villages who will draw their knives and fight to the death if a blind date doesn't go well, but someone who would do something as ruthless as carrying two buckets of gasoline and heading for a raid on a family must be harboring a deep-seated, deadly hatred!

Having been in the underworld for so many years, Ma San had seen countless scams and swindles. He was a man who would eat people alive without spitting out the bones, so how could he easily let others use him as a tool?

Seeing Ma San squinting and remaining silent for a long time, Liu Changgui, who was lying on the ground, thought that Ma San was frightened and was afraid that this big shot would back down and abandon his mess.

Liu Changgui's eyes darted around, and with a determined heart, he covered his mangled face and began to provoke him in a sarcastic tone:

"Ma San, you're not getting scared because you heard about big trucks and gasoline, are you?"

Liu Changgui, his mouth agape, let out a cold laugh:

"Just now inside the house, you were patting your chest and bragging to Cui'er, saying that as long as you have a bite of meat to eat, she'll definitely have plenty of rice, and that if Cui'er is in your hands, she'll be guaranteed to be well taken care of, and no one will be able to bully the Liu family even a little bit!"

"What? They just drove a big truck and rammed my house flat, not even a single beam was left, and you're just going to shut up?"

Liu Changgui spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and continued to fan the flames:

"Everyone outside says you, Ma Yanwang, are a force to be reckoned with in the surrounding villages, even the police station has to give you some face. Now your newly engaged wife has been humiliated like this, and your house has been burned to the ground. If you cower and don't dare utter a sound, how will you, Ma San, ever have the face to show in this area again?!"

These words were like a steel needle, piercing Ma San's face!

Ma San was just wondering what secrets Liu Changgui was hiding, but after Liu Changgui's sarcastic mockery, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Are you fucking asking for it?!"

Ma San took a half step forward, grabbed Liu Changgui by the collar, and lifted him off the ground!

The inch-long scar at the corner of his eye instantly turned bloodshot and red, and a murderous glint flashed in his sinister triangular eyes:

"Afraid of him? When I, Ma Yanwang, was licking blood from the edge of a knife, that little bastard hadn't even grown all the hair in his crotch yet!"

"Then why aren't you moving?! What are you standing there thinking about?!"

Liu Changgui's eyes rolled back as he was being choked, his hands gripping Ma San's arm, his voice still hoarse as he desperately tried to stir up trouble:

"Hurry up and grab your weapons and take some men to intercept him! That little bastard just started a fire, he's probably driving his truck into the mountains right now! If he abandons us and disappears without a trace, where are you going to settle the score with him?!"

Ma San flung Liu Changgui to the ground like a dead dog.

But Liu Changgui's last words struck a chord with him.

Ma San stood there, his face frighteningly gloomy.

He knew, of course, that this old man was hiding some dirty secrets, and that the other party was trying to provoke him.

But Liu Changgui was right about one thing.

Given the current situation, Ma San really has nowhere to retreat!

We can't let Ergaizi get away.

Liu Cuier is now the woman Ma Santu wants to marry.

No matter what the reason behind it is, once this matter gets out and people in the surrounding villages know that Ma San just recognized Liu Cuier, and then another man ran over the Liu family with his car and set them on fire, that would be a solid slap in the face for Ma San!

If he backs down now, who in the surrounding villages will respect him? His casinos and loan sharking operations will all be trampled underfoot and become a laughing stock!

Even if this mess is full of boiling oil and poison, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it!

Furthermore, to put it another way, what kind of ability could a poor boy born and raised in a remote mountain village possibly have? He's nothing more than a greenhorn who's driven to desperation and dares to risk his life in a moment of impulsiveness!

Ma San had seen plenty of these reckless, headstrong young men. They might seem intimidating with their reckless madness, but if they were to encounter a real, hardened brute who was used to bloodshed, a few blows from their sticks would leave them kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

How dare he try to steal food from my mouth, the King of Hell! Tonight, I'll show him what a real desperado is!

"Second brother!"

Ma San suddenly turned around, his face grim, and growled at the burly man beside him:

"Go! Get on your motorcycles and go back to the village. Gather all the brothers who guard the place, and bring your weapons!"

Ma San put his hands in his leather jacket pockets, the scar near his eye contorted in a hideous grimace as he clenched his teeth, and spat fiercely onto the concrete ground.

"I want to see for myself how many heads this arrogant little bastard from Kaoshantun has that I can chop off!"
