"Alright." Zhou Kai said with a smile: "Now we've definitely found the right people, those two dog nephews of Vice Secretary Song, despicable scumbags who commit all kinds of evil. Today we're acting as agents of heaven's will."

Crack...

Having said that, Zhou Kai swung his axe fiercely onto Song Wen's arm.

With that strike, blood splattered, and under the dim street light, white bones appeared ghastly, piercing through the clothes and protruding out. At this moment, Song Wen immediately let out a scream: "Ah..."

Seeing this, Song Wu next to him turned pale with fright, he hadn't expected the other party to be a bunch of extremely vicious brutes. He really didn't know which deity he had offended. Song Wu was so terrified that he became somewhat frantic, and he quickly said: "Brother, don't, don't be rash."

"It's your turn now." At this point, Zhou Kai said coldly: "Do you prefer your left arm, or your right arm?"

"Don't... don't..." Song Wu was panic-stricken.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to choose one for you." Zhou Kai's mouth twisted with a wicked smile.

"I... I'll take the right arm." Song Wu was scared silly.

"Good, then I'll take your right arm." Zhou Kai chuckled malevolently.

"No, no... chop off the left arm, I need the right hand." Song Wu panicked, but even in his panic, he managed to stay calm. The right hand was his dominant hand, and although the left arm could be reattached, its function would definitely be greatly impaired.

Crack...

Zhou Kai did not hesitate, with one swing the axe fell, chopping off Song Wu's right arm on the spot. Song Wu let out a terrible scream, nearly fainting from the pain.

Lin Chuan originally just wanted to teach the Song brothers a lesson, but he did not stop Zhou Kai from severing one arm off each of them. The reason was simple: if these two brothers weren't completely disabled, they would definitely be trouble in the future.

"Let's go." Lin Chuan grabbed Zhou Kai, who was still venting his anger on the Song brothers, and said.

Afterwards, the two of them quickly disappeared into the alley. Soon, only the two brothers remained in the alley, screaming in agony. Residents nearby, who heard the screams, hurriedly called for an ambulance. Before long, the ambulance sped to the scene, and several doctors carried the victims onto stretchers and quickly left the scene.

......

Zhou Kai anxiously looked at Lin Chuan and asked: "Chuanzi, those bastards won't be able to find us, right?"

"Of course not." Lin Chuan said with a smile: "They wouldn't find you even if they tried."

"That's good." Zhou Kai nodded and said: "I have elderly at home, if they discover us, they'll definitely kill us."

"Scared now?" Lin Chuan glanced at Zhou Kai.

"The alcohol's worn off." Zhou Kai laughed: "And, those guys really aren't small fry. If we get discovered, we're definitely dead meat."

"Don't worry, it's fine." Lin Chuan smiled and said: "They'll kill themselves before suspecting you, and they don't recognize you anyway, so you can rest easy."

"That's a relief." Zhou Kai patted his chest anxiously, saying, "I really feared they would find us, then we'd be done for."

While talking, Zhou Kai threw the face mask he was wearing into the roadside greenery. Lin Chuan said with a smile: "It's so late now, I'll treat you to a barbecue, and we can have a drink on the side to warm up."

"Great." Zhou Kai said joyfully: "Chuanzi's treating to drinks."

Afterwards, they went to the barbecue joint again. The middle-aged man was still busy grilling, and his son was running back and forth, delivering skewers. Seeing Zhou Kai and his company, the young boy made a face at Zhou Kai, seemingly taunting him for not getting his way last time around.

"You little brat, what are you doing?" Zhou Kai was furious.

"Who are you cursing?" The middle-aged man immediately glared at Zhou Kai.

"Is this how you treat your customers?" Zhou Kai was displeased: "Chuanzi, let's go somewhere else, I really can't stomach this disrespect."

The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "You're not welcome here."

Zhou Kai was agitated, never having seen anyone send off customers like this. Lin Chuan said with a laugh: "Sit down."

"Chuanzi, look at how cocky this father and son are." Zhou Kai couldn't calm down.

"Alright, you also offended them last time, right?!" Lin Chuan said with a smile: "It's better to resolve enmity rather than settle it."

"Okay then." Zhou Kai smiled helplessly and then said: "Anyway, I came here to eat skewers, not to deal with people's attitudes."

Then, Zhou Kai called Lu Dapao, who was guarding the factory, and told them to come over.

It wasn't long before Lu Dapao and the others arrived. They ordered lots of skewers: lamb kidneys, lamb penises, lamb meat, and all kinds of barbecue items. In fact, none of the barbecue on this street was as delicious as this place because the owner was generous. The lamb meat was genuine Mongolian lamb, without any false advertising. Unlike the meat from other places, which might be mixed with rat or poultry and sold to customers. Over time, the patrons became discerning. That's why the barbecue at this stall was particularly popular.

"Really, this stand is quite busy," laughed Lu Dapao.

"That's for sure," Zhou Kai nodded and said, "Otherwise, I really wouldn't want to put up with this nonsense."

Everyone burst into laughter. Lin Chuan distributed cigarettes to the group and said, "In another month, it'll be the end of the year, and the new year will be upon us. Don't you guys have any particular thoughts?"

"Thoughts?" Zhou Kai was stunned and then said, "Well, I do hope to quickly find a girlfriend and say goodbye to my single days for good."

"I want to make money," said Lu Dapao hastily. "I want a lot of money to buy a big and bright house for my grandma."

Lu Dapao's biological parents had long been divorced, and his father had gone to work in coastal areas, rarely coming back. He had lived with his grandparents since he was a child, therefore, he had a particularly deep affection for them. As for his biological parents, he didn't have much of a concept of them.

"I also hope to earn more money," said the others one after another.

At that moment, the skewers arrived, and the group reached out like a swarm of bees— a large plate of skewers was quickly reduced to less than half. As Zhou Kai skewered, he shouted, "Bring another fifty grilled lamb skewers, fifty lamb kidneys..."

Drinking and skewering, don't get me started on the flavor.

However, there weren't many people eating barbecue at this time; it was already past one in the morning, and cold wind whistled. Most people had gone home to sleep. The busiest time for barbecue was usually between nine and twelve at night; at this time, besides Lin Chuan's table, there was just one more table with a couple left.

A little distance away, the young helper Goudan was taking a break, and this guy was actually playing with throwing knives.

A wooden board was hanging from a tree, with a red dot painted on it with red paint. Goudan measured about twenty steps away. Then he drew a line on the ground, toying with the three throwing knives in his hand, each with a short length of red string tied to them.

Whoosh...

The knife left Goudan's hand and stuck into the wooden board, but it didn't hit the red dot. Then, Goudan threw another one, but this time the knife completely missed the board and stuck in the tree. Goudan looked a bit disappointed. This time, he stared intently at the red dot on the board before throwing.

Bang...

This time, it hit the bullseye.

"Dad, I hit it!" Goudan exclaimed joyfully.

"Fluke," the middle-aged man said, without looking up.

Goudan sniffed back his running nose, then without any discouragement, walked over, retrieved the throwing knives from the wooden board, and began to practice again. His hit rate was very low, sometimes missing three to five times in a row, and occasionally hitting two times consecutively. But each hit brought great joy to the kid.

"This kid's got some skill, huh?" Zhou Kai couldn't help but express his surprise, "I've tried it too, these throwing knives are hard to master, and a little carelessness can lead to a knife in the butt."

"How come he's so good at only twelve or thirteen years old?" Lu Dapao asked curiously.

"Who knows," Zhou Kai shook his head.

Lin Chuan was very curious. Without asking, it was clear that the kid's skills must have been taught by his father, meaning this man was definitely a top-notch expert. Lin Chuan couldn't guess the man's background but was interested in getting to know him.

"Goudan," Lin Chuan walked over with a chuckle.

"You calling me?" the kid asked, wiping his nose with his sleeve.

"Let me give it a try, how about that?" Lin Chuan asked.

"You won't be able to," the kid shook his head and said, "It's too difficult, I've been practicing for a year."

"How will I know without trying?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"Alright, you can try," Goudan nodded, saying, "But you only get one try, okay? This throwing knife was forged by my dad for me, it's expensive."

Reluctantly, Goudan handed over his throwing knife to Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan weighed it in his hand and found the knife to have some heft to it—its quality was substantial, dense. Although he couldn't tell what metal it was made of, it was on par with his own dagger.

"Okay," Lin Chuan nodded.

With one hand, he held the three throwing knives and retreated an additional ten meters beyond the distance from where Goudan had been practicing.

"That's too far, you can't do it," Goudan hurried to say, "You have to step forward a bit, otherwise it will be too hard for me to find the knife."

Goudan didn't have much faith in Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan laughed, "You are a kid, and I am an adult, I can't just stand in the same spot as you, right?"

"Fine, fine, just hurry up," Goudan was already preparing to go look for the flying knives.
