Shuangling: Braving the Rapids

Seeing Cheng Dong's gloomy face and silence, looking like he was about to explode at any moment, Inspector Lu shook his head helplessly. "It doesn't matter if we couldn't get through on the phone. The station will still notify your hometown police station to send a written notice. Your family will find out about you sooner or later..."

Lu, the warden, meant to comfort Cheng Dong, but his words struck a nerve. What Cheng Dong feared most was his mother finding out he had caused trouble outside. Moreover, the crime he committed this time was serious enough to warrant a prison sentence.

At this moment, Cheng Dong's face was deathly pale, almost bloodless. He looked as if he had been hit on the head with a club and then stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

My mood was so bad that if I went back to my cell like that, something terrible was bound to happen!

As soon as Cheng Dong stepped through the iron gate of the cell, Geng Dacheng, "Big Wart," and others gathered around him.

Seeing that Warden Lu had left, "Big Wart" and a few of his men approached Cheng Dong. He held an empty cigarette box in his hand, grinned crookedly, and said to Cheng Dong, "You brat! You dare to hoard this stuff? You're a new recruit, don't you know the rules of this cell?"

Cheng Dong didn't respond. He went straight to his bed, lifted the mattress and looked inside. Sure enough, the half pack of Marlboro cigarettes that had been tucked away in the gap between the bed boards was gone.

Before Cheng Dong could speak, "Big Wart" crumpled the cigarette pack into a ball and threw it directly at Cheng Dong's back. "Cheng Dong! You're a new recruit, bringing good stuff, and you're not even handing it over? I think you're tired of living!"

Cheng Dong's mentality was already on the verge of "exploding". Faced with the repeated provocations of "Big Wart", his inner power completely exploded. Without saying a word, he suddenly turned around and kicked "Big Wart" with a flying kick.

"Big Wart" never expected Cheng Dong to launch an attack. In addition, he was big but not very agile. He couldn't dodge in time and was kicked in the heart by Cheng Dong.

Most people would fall to the ground after being hit by Cheng Dong like that, but "Big Wart" was in excellent physical condition and only stumbled backward before stopping.

"You fucking want to die!"

After a loud shout, "Big Wart" threw a punch at Cheng Dong, but Cheng Dong, who had martial arts skills, moved swiftly and narrowly dodged the violent blow.

Seeing that he had missed, "Big Wart" became even angrier. He turned to the side and threw a punch at Cheng Dong's face.

"Big Wart" often gets into fights and knows how to use his height and long arms to get close to his opponent. This attack really made Cheng Dong suffer.

Seeing that "Big Wart" was no ordinary man, Cheng Dong decided not to confront him head-on. He moved nimbly, waiting for his opponent to make a mistake before unleashing a powerful attack.

"Big Wart" knew his opponent was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that his opponent would also know martial arts. After being ambushed in the lower back, he dared not underestimate Cheng Dong anymore. He bent his knees, pressed down on his feet, and threw punches from the left and right, using this step-by-step approach to force Cheng Dong forward.

In terms of punching power and speed, "Big Wart" was clearly superior. At this moment, Cheng Dong could only use his arm to protect his vitals while retreating to dodge the opponent's attack.

Seeing that Cheng Dong was about to be cornered, "Big Wart" smirked and quickened his pace. He thought that as long as he pressed Cheng Dong, he would gain the upper hand. But he underestimated his opponent; Cheng Dong was luring him in deep!

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Dong quickly retreated, then slammed his right foot against the wall behind him. With the force of the impact, his body leaned forward, followed by a step and a high roundhouse kick that struck his opponent squarely in the neck.

With a scream of "Ah!", "Big Wart" collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck, his eyes bloodshot.

Seeing this, all the prisoners were shocked. Although they were not involved, they could see Cheng Dong's fierce offensive even more clearly. At this moment, several of "Big Wart's" men could not hold back and were eager to try to subdue Cheng Dong together, but they were stopped by Geng Dacheng.

At this moment, the most noteworthy character is the shifty-looking "Small Face". Before the fight started, he hid behind several thugs, waiting for Cheng Dong to make a fool of himself. After "Big Wart" was kicked to the ground by Cheng Dong, he quickly shrank his neck and stealthily hid in the corner of the wall.

The reason this two-faced scoundrel behaved this way was because he had something to hide. That's right, it was he who told "Big Wart" about Cheng Dong hiding opium!

If it weren't for Cheng Dong's formidable fighting prowess, this act of betrayal would have been a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone strategy: both punishing the arrogant Cheng Dong and infiltrating "Headboard's" camp. But he never expected Cheng Dong to be able to defeat "Big Wart." It seems "Slap-Face" is about to shoot himself in the foot this time!

A few seconds later, "Big Wart" stood up again, and the private fight entered a heated phase.

Whenever "Big Wart" charges up for an attack, Cheng Dong avoids its sharp edge and waits for it to reveal a weakness before launching a surprise attack on its vitals.

After dozens of rounds, "Big Wart" gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. When Cheng Dong kicked his calf with a low roundhouse kick, "Big Wart" became completely enraged. At this moment, he pounded his chest several times, looking like an enraged gorilla, determined to suppress Cheng Dong no matter what.

Seeing his opponent charging at him recklessly, Cheng Dong felt a chill run down his spine. He knew this guy was more troublesome than any of his previous opponents, even more difficult to deal with than the Zheng family father and son combined. If the fight continued at this pace, not only would he fail to defeat his opponent, but he himself would also be exhausted and defeated. At this point, Cheng Dong had no choice but to unleash his ultimate skill—the secret technique personally taught to him by his martial arts coach years ago.

Just as Cheng Dong was about to make a move, "Big Wart" accurately predicted his path and slammed his fist into Cheng Dong's head. As Cheng Dong saw stars, "Big Wart" grabbed him by the waist and threw him far away.

"Cough cough cough!"

Cheng Dong's body slammed heavily onto the edge of the dormitory bed like a broken sack. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he coughed violently.

Seeing that "Big Wart" had the upper hand, Geng Dacheng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and were now cheering him on excitedly, while "Slap Face" showed his smug face again. As for the other prisoners, their expressions varied. Those who had been bullied by "Headboard" in the past shook their heads and sighed at Cheng Dong, while the vast majority of the neutrals looked like they were enjoying the show.

Of all the prisoners, the old inmate on duty reacted the most strangely. While everyone else stood on tiptoe to watch the spectacle, he alone sat cross-legged on the communal bed. To say he was indifferent wouldn't be quite right; Cheng Dong's every move was under his watchful eye, sometimes stroking his chin, sometimes smiling with narrowed eyes—it was truly peculiar. But no one was paying attention to the old inmate; everyone's attention was focused on those two gentlemen!

Having regained the upper hand, "Big Wart" laughed arrogantly a few times. He leaned down and looked at Cheng Dong, who was lying on the ground, his eyes suddenly flashing with a cold light. He swung his fist to deliver the final blow.

However, just as "Big Wart's" punch approached his opponent, Cheng Dong leaped up in a somersault, first sweeping his leg and kicking "Big Wart's" ankle. Then, taking advantage of the moment when "Big Wart's" lower body was unstable and his body was falling, Cheng Dong braced himself with both palms on the ground, his left leg naturally bent, and then his right foot suddenly sprang up, kicking "Big Wart's" chin with all his might.

In an instant, his heel slammed into his jawbone, producing a sharp cracking sound as his teeth broke. This was followed by "Big Wart's" heart-wrenching wail and Cheng Dong's powerful battle roar.
