Don't Be a Kept Man
Their contractors had ordered over and over again, highlighting that without his orders, they could not play around with human lives. And right now, only half of the full payment was in their hands so those two meal tickets inside cannot have any issues. Choosing to go down this criminal path meant that they were dependent on the credibility of their name; if this job was ruined within their hands, they won’t have a living anymore.
There was not a lot of dry grass around in the warehouse and in even more terrible news, the place was quite humid. After bundling up the miniscule amount of kindling they could find together, the fire did not burn for very long. So when they heard the furious yelling outside and the chains on the metal door clanking, Huo Ming Chen felt a sigh of relief. If those thugs did not come, they would have had to think of something else.
The key was on the bald man’s body. He rushed over and clumsily opened the lock. Who could have thought that once the door was unlocked and open, before he could even see clearly, his stomach would suffer a heavy blow? Taking advantage of him bending down, Huo Ming Chen lifted his knee and used his wrist as a weapon to strike ruthlessly onto the bald leader’s spine. His chain of actions was like flowing water: fast, accurate and ruthless enough that they would not have time to react.
Seeing the bald man falling over, the remaining three became shocked, with their mouths open wide and then they were angry, picking up metal pipes from the ground and rushing over to attack. Huo Ming Chen surged forward and dragged two of them. Lu Qi remembered his orders and went straight for Da-Han, the more simple minded idiot. He reached out to grab a beer bottle and broke it, using all his force and taking the chance to strike the sharpened piece into the other’s stomach.
Da-Han was in so much pain that his eyes were reddened with the colour of blood. He grabbed a hold of Lu Qi’s neck and with a deathly strangled voice, yelled out,
“AH AH AH! I will fucking kill you!”
On Huo Ming Chen’s side, his situation was not looking good either. His two bare fists were up against four hands. When he was fighting with one crook, the other viciously slammed down a metal pipe onto his leg. And a faint sound of bone snapping could be heard amidst all the sounds echoing in the warehouse. Huo Ming Chen immediately lost his balance and dropped onto his knees, but he still managed to drag down the two men with all his might.
Lu Qi was used to using dirty tricks and in the palm of one hand, he hid a piece of glass shard from the broken bottle before. He swiped across Da Han’s eyes, and in no time at all, blood was spurting out, and Da Han’s eyes were a field of blood red. The other immediately let go from the pain and started to roll back and forth on the ground, like a shrivelled shrimp, holding onto his eyes.
Lu Qi just endured a beating, and all he could taste in his throat was the sweet metallic taste of blood. His entire body felt like it was swirling and turning, making him very dizzy. He was going to help Huo Ming Chen but only heard the other angrily yell out,
“Run! What the fuck are you doing! If you don’t go, we will die!”
Huo Ming Chen’s leg was in so much pain, and he was almost out of energy to keep holding onto the other two men. If this kept going, those two crooks that went into town would be coming back soon. Lu Qi’s eyes could only see a darkness of red, and he gave himself a ruthless slap, clumsily hitting things as he ran straight out.
The sky outside was raining, and a cold wind was blowing through the trees. It was so dark you could not see your own fingers, and the road was muddy with some hardened areas. In the midst of his running, he didn’t know how many times he tripped, how many times the tree branches scraped at him. He only knew to run, to run as fast as he could, crawling back up from where he tripped, running to the big roads. Wind was howling in his eyes, and a feeling of being ripped open came from inside his chest. Each breath he took was like having a knife heartlessly carving into his throat, going down into his heart with all the blood dripping down.
Faster! Faster and faster!
Lu Qi forcefully wiped at his face, wiping away whatever was on him whether it was blood or sweat. He no longer had any feeling in his entire body, even pain was disappearing, only knowing to run forward in a state of numbness. The more he ran outside, the more the road became wider and from far away he could see faintly some kind of light.
What is that? A streetlight on a public road?
His already tired and leaden body suddenly gained a surge of adrenaline, and he ran straight towards that light, as if he grabbed a life saving buoy. This place was quiet, too isolated from society. Usually there would not be a car passing by and at night, even fewer still. Lu Qi ran with difficulty onto the public road, and with the pouring rain obscuring his vision, he was like a brain dead fly running everywhere and in all sorts of directions, trying to find a pedestrian or a car. His heart felt as if someone threw it into a hot wok burning with oil, burning with heat and pain.
