The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chen Yuanxi returned to Yangzi county eventually.

He and Zhang Dong went to a place like a park.

The words “People’s Cemetery” stood like a flag in the air.

In front of Lin Ziwei’s tombstone, there were two bunches of fresh narcissus. White petals, yellowish pistils and slender branches which had been cut neatly looked very solemn among the tombstones. Chen Yuanxi picked up two bunches of narcissus, placed them in front of the tombstone, and knelt down on the cold ground in early spring. Zhang Dong also knelt down and they worshiped the tombstone together, putting palms together devoutly.

Chen Yuanxi sighed softly and closed his eyes.

He could not tell who was right and who was wrong after he visited Chen Tianjiao in prison and knew the story among Chen Tianjiao, Huang Xiya and Lin Ziwei. When he knew that Chen Tianjiao insisted on getting off the plane even though he knew he would die after returning because he was afraid that his son, Chen Yuanxi, would be hurt and that Deng Yifei also got off the plane to face the coming judgment with his husband even though she knew her end would be miserable, he became lost.

When he knew that his father had used dirty means to prevent Zhao Yuan and he from getting together, and when he heard that tens of millions of people saw off his father when he was encoffined, he had no idea about what was right and what was wrong.

“Seriously, I don’t seem to hate anyone or know if I will fall in love with someone.” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. His eyes looked like the abyss formed by the convergence of streams.

“You should have a rest.” Zhang Dong hugged Chen Yuanxi and let his head get close to his chest so that he could be warmer.

A large passenger station had been built in Yangzi County. Many supermarkets and high buildings had been built along the road. The urbanization was gradually expanding from south to north, from east to west, just like the desert was gradually eroding the oasis.

Chen Yuanxi was walking on a strange asphalt road and did not seem to feel any emotion when he came. However, Hong Xuan suddenly told him that Luo Yang had been arrested! But at the same time Chen Yuanxi knew that Zheng Kai was critically ill.

A few days ago.

Chen Wanxin quarreled with Zheng Kai in the street and ran away quickly, and Zheng Kai failed to catch her.

Zheng Kai had been following Chen Wanxin every day and did not know when it would come to an end. Since Chen Wanxin’s parents died, her family had broken up. She tried to let more people hold a decent funeral for her parents. Unexpectedly, the family which only got together when there was profit, let her know the fickleness of human nature that she had never experienced. Few could bear the change from a well-off young lady to a normal woman who could not afford basic necessities of life, so her temperament was getting more and more strange day by day. In addition to Gu Xi who could calm her down, no one could receive her kindness.

Zheng Kai dared not lock the security door for several nights, waiting for Chen Wanxin to come back.

Finally, he waited for Chen Wanxin as well as a kidnapper with a fierce face and a shining knife. It was Luo Yang.

“Let her go, I’ll give you everything!” said Zheng Kai.

Luo Yang rushed to Zheng Kai and quickly punched him on his head. While Zheng Kai was dazzled, he quickly tied him with the nylon rope in his hand. Zheng Kai resisted fiercely, but was scratched. Finally, he was tied in the solid wood sofa tightly. Only then did he find that Chen Wanxin had rushed into the house, opened the wooden cabinet, and took out his bank card, in which there was all of his money and funds.

“What’s the password?” asked Chen Wanxin sternly.

“Wanxin, you and him?” Zheng Kai looked at Chen Wanxin in disbelief.

“Wanxin?” Zheng Kai was still asking.

Luo Yang wielded his knife and cut off Zheng Kai’s little thumb. Zheng Kai felt great painful and the blood dropped on the ground after soaking half of the sofa. He could not help moaning, but still looked at Chen Wanxin at a loss. He did not seem to believe that Chen Wanxin could unite Luo Yang to treat him like this one day.

“Tell me the code, or you’ll die!” Chen Wanxin threatened him.

Zheng Kai shook his head.

“Bitch, you can’t afford to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan. If you don’t pay, I’ll go to the YH company to find Zhao Yuan!” Luo Yang shouted in a muffled voice.

“Can you afford to irritate Zhao Yuan? Are you qualified to find him?” Chen Wanxin was angry, and slapped Luo Yang in the face.

Luo Yang was very angry and wielded his knife around Chen Wanxin. Chen Wanxin was also angry and came to Zheng Kai to urge and comfort him, “He could really kill you! Tell us the password quickly, and you’ll be fine.”

Zheng Kai shook his head slowly and said with a smile, “You know it.”

“I don’t know! How can I know!” Chen Wanxin shrieked, “Hurry up! After getting the money, I’ll disappear completely. I won’t bother you again and will no longer appear, so that you can live in peace. My life will have nothing to do with you!”

The sneer on Zheng Kai’s face made Chen Wanxin very unhappy. Although she was good at covering up her emotions, she still felt embarrassed for a few seconds. Then she heard Zheng Kai groaned and saw his head was covered with broken glass. The strong smell of liquor immediately dispersed. Zheng Kai’s head was bleeding and he immediately fell down.

Zheng Kai woke up from the pain again. He saw that his other two fingers were lying in Luo Yang’s hand, and Chen Wanxin had been knocked down by Luo Yang.

Zheng Kai smiled and said, “Congratulations. You finally avenge your loss of three fingers on me. I don’t want this stupid woman anymore. Please end this as soon as possible and get away with her.”

Luo Yang wielded his knife and stabbed Zheng Kai in the left chest, who then fell down without a word.

Chen Wanxin had been seriously beaten by Luo Yang. At the moment, she cried out sadly, “You said you wouldn’t… Your goal was not killing Chen Yuanxi when you kidnapped Gu Xi. You wanted to force me with Zheng Kai’s life! Luo Yang!”

She beat Luo Yang desperately, but was dragged out by Luo Yang.

Chen Wanxin was forced by a knife to transfer money with her mobile phone while shivering and tried to enter the password.

Zhengkai’s mother’s birthday was not the password. Zheng Kai’s own birthday also was not the password. If the password was entered incorrectly again, the card would be frozen for one day.

Chen Wanxin summoned up her courage to enter the password which she knew but did not want to enter. Finally, she entered the right password, her student number, and saw the bank balance, although there was not much money. Then with the right password, Luo Yang quickly began to check other accounts of Zheng Kai.

Suddenly, Chen Wanxin cried.

She remembered that when she was drunk that day, Zheng Kai had helped her to the door, knocked on the door, served her tea, and helped her to the bedroom to let her rest after she puked all over his bed. She remembered that the temperature of the air conditioning was comfortable, and the color of the wall lamp used was orange, the color she liked most when she was in high school.

She had lied down safely in Zheng Kai’s bedroom all day. When she woke up in the morning, she saw sunshine coming in through the window. On the table was fresh hot milk and bread. For a moment, it seemed that the time was still. It seemed that she had returned to her hometown where she was born and lied lazily in the straw, squinting her eyes slightly and looking at the white clouds and blue sky. So many years had passed and once again Zheng Kai gave her the feeling that she had not had for a long time.

It was the second time she had seen Zheng Kai was cut. The first time, in order to protect her, he was stabbed in the back. The wound was not serious, but he had rest in bed for a long time. At that time, Jifu University was still there and she was still studying in university. At that time, she liked Zhao Yuan wholeheartedly.

Suddenly, Luo Yang’s screams came from behind. Chen Wanxin turned and saw a vicious man cutting Luo Yang’s sinews of hands and feet with a knife. She was so frightened that she stepped back.

“Get out of here! If Wenxi had not told me not to hurt you, I wouldn’t have let you go!” The man roared at Chen Wanxin.

“He Fu! I have nothing against you…”

“He Fu? Do you know what my name means? It means there’s no need to avenge! There’s no such a kind of revenge that is enough for me to quench my hatred! You’d better testify against Mo Qian when you in the jail, or I’ll bring you back no matter where you go!”

Luo Yang wanted to say something more, but he had been out of strength.
