Chapter 1 I am Back

On the train to Jin City.

A tall and handsome young man was sitting in it and enjoying the scenery along the way.

At this time, the door of the private room was slowly opened. Another tall man approached and said respectfully, "Young General, I have investigated what you ask me to do, but the news is not very good."

Then he handed the bag to Richie Lin.

He opened the bag and saw a newspaper and several documents.

The date of the newspaper was three years ago.

The only man in the Zhou family of Jin City, Vincent Zhou, died in the municipal hospital yesterday. The police carried out an all-round investigation.

The huge title made his hand tremble.

He had witnessed too many of his friends leave him, but he was still unable to accept his bro's death properly.

Richie looked at the photo of the dead in the newspaper; the past appeared again.

"Who is this child? Why are you begging here?"

On a rainy night, a black car stopped in front of a beggar.

This was the first time they met each other.

"Wait a moment at the door. I'll bring you some food after dinner. Don't run away." In this way, Vincent brought him some food secretly every day.

When Richie was 12 years old, he was bullied by other children; He hurt a child of a noble family by accident. Therefore, he was chased and beaten by a group of children and their servants.

The world was so cold.

Everyone looked at him with a smile. Only Vincent protected him.

"Richie, run! If they catch you, they will break your legs! Run!"

Richie fled in panic. When he looked back, he found that Vincent had been surrounded by other people. They punched and kicked him, but his hands tightly blocked the crowd, creating a chance for Richie to escape.

It was also at that time that the General of the North happened to send troops. He stopped the troops and resolutely joined them, heading to the most dangerous battlefield of the north at that time.

Vincent was the kindest and politest man he had ever seen in this world.

Sometimes the God was so unfair that Vincent died at the best age in his life, only 22 years old.

The tall man handed over another phone, and the video began to play.

In the video, several young men and women were bantering with each other, and the one who was bantered was Vincent.

Obviously, Vincent was seriously ill, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

He couldn't control his body.

It was also very difficult for him to move. His limbs sometimes couldn't support his body, and he would fall to the ground from time to time.

However, the rest of the young men and women enjoyed the scene and laughed loudly.

Curses and sarcasm could be heard continuously.

A rough wooden token was shaking not far away from Vincent. He kept reaching out his trembling hand, trying to hold it, but every time he succeeded, it would be taken away and placed farther away.

They mocked him over and over again.

Meanwhile, someone rode on him and whipped him with a belt.

They made all kinds of flaunting movements to take photos.

The video lasted for 12 minutes. It was all about insulting and abusing Vincent in various ways.

Creak! Creak!

The metal table in his right hand was distorted with a harsh sound.

The hard metal was pinched and curled by Richie's hand.

The wooden token in the video was carved by Richie. When he handed it to Vincent, he swore, "Vincent, I will be a senior official in the future. Take this. When I come back, I will also let you be a senior official."

Nobody would take Richie's words seriously when he was a child, but Vincent believed him firmly.

Even if he was seriously ill, he still believed that Richie would return with a brilliant identity.

Now, Richie was back, but...

The atmosphere on the train was gloomy and murderous.

"We don't know much about Jin City, so we are still investigating the identities of the people in the video." The tall man said cautiously.

He and Richie had been through life and death for many years, so they knew each other well.

Therefore, he knew what would happen in Jin City.

Richie was the youngest general of Country C; he killed countless enemies. In the eyes of Country C, he was the God of war and the hero of defending the country.

But in the eyes of the enemy, he was a ruthless demon.

It was such a person who protected his country at the border. But when he returned to his hometown, he found that his best friend was treated like this.

What would happen next could be imagined.

"No, I know all of them," Richie said in a low and emotionless voice.

He continued to read the documents in his hands.

In just a few years, all the members of the Zhou family were dead. At present, only Vincent's mother and little sister were left.

As for Vincent's mother, she couldn't accept her son's death, so he got a mental disease and was in a very unstable condition.

"When we arrive at the station, let's go to Vincent's mother and sister's residence."

"Yes, sir."

...

In Jin City.

A military green jeep slowly stopped in front of a restaurant in an alley.

The restaurant was a little old, and several pieces of glass on the window had been broken. They were casually taped and continued to use.

The receptionist was a young girl with delicate facial features, who was constantly checking the bills in her hands.

Hearing someone come in, she greeted casually, "welcome to our restaurant. Have a seat."

There was no other guest in the restaurant.

The girl felt that the guest didn't move, so she looked up curiously and glanced at him.

But when she lowered her head, she found something wrong. She raised her head again and stared at the young man with a smile.

"Fiona, do you remember me?" Richie said with a smile.

When he and Vincent were young, Fiona Zhou was also playing with them. Now she had grown into a graceful lady.


"Brother beggar?" Fiona asked with uncertainty.

"It's me."

With these words, Fiona's lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Brother beggar, where have you been for so many years?"

Fiona didn't know Richie's name. She only knew that her brother was helping this little beggar who was about their age when she was a child.

Vincent had helped this little beggar for several years.

"I've just retired from the army. By the way, where is auntie Zhou?" Richie asked.

"She went out to buy some food. By the way, my brother is dead." After saying that, Fiona lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice.

"I know." Richie didn't say anything more. He just looked serious and said in a low voice.

The two sat down and chatted for a while. Vincent's mother came back with a lot of materials.

In Richie's memory, the image of a rich lady from a noble family disappeared. Now Vincent's mother was dressed in thick clothes and white hair.

As soon as Vincent's mother entered the room, she saw a tall and familiar man standing in it.

At this moment, Richie's image overlapped Vincent's.

"Son, where have you been these years?"

The vegetables and meats in her hands scattered all over the ground. She rushed to Richie, hugged her son, and questioned him loudly.

She hadn't seen her son for several years. Many people said that his son had died, but she didn't believe it. Her son was the cleverest, the kindest, the most sensible, and the fortune-teller had told that her son would be prosperous in the future. So how could he die?

At this time, Richie's appearance also proved her idea that her son was finally back.

Seeing that her mom was holding Richie with tears all over her face, Fiona knew that her mother had misunderstood.

Richie also knew that her mother had misunderstood, but it didn't matter.

One of the reasons he came back this time was supporting Vincent's mother and sister.

"Mom."

Richie uttered the word in a very strange way. He didn't expect that he would have a chance to utter this word.

Mom Zhou cried even more sad. The grievance accumulated in her heart for many years was finally released.

Tears instantly wetted Richie's clothes.

"You are so heartless! Why did you leave your sister and me?" Wiping away her tears, Mom Zhou pulled out a bamboo stick and whipped on Richie's body.

Every time she hit, the sound of bamboo sticks colliding with flesh could be heard, but Richie stood straight and kept silent.

"Hey, what are you crying for? Is your family dead again? "

"That's right. All of your Zhou family is dead!"

A disgusting, sharp, and cunning voice came from the door.

Three middle-aged men came in casually.

"Get out! You are not welcome here!" Seeing them, Fiona scolded them emotionally.

"Hey, girl, you are getting hotter and hotter. I like it." The man teased, looking at Fiona up and down.

Fiona wanted to say something more, but Richie stopped her and said, "take your mother in. I'm here."

His tone was firm.

After saying that, everyone found that Richie's aura was changing. He was no longer the child who had just apologized in front of his mother. His face became gloomy, and his eyes were unusually ferocious.

Fiona took her mother back to the inner room, while the other men couldn't help but felt a little bit upset.

But thinking about their boss, the other men were not afraid anymore.

"We are from E Company, and my boss is Jack Li. Let me tell you, don't meddle in our business." The leader warned.

E Company?

Richie found a seat and asked curiously, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Your restaurant is obstructing the development and construction of this place, so you have to make contributions to the city's development and hand over your house deeds." The man said, looking at his palm.

He wrote what he should say on his palm.

"Brother, they are lying. They just want to bully us and get some benefits." Fiona said as she sent her mother back to her room.

"That's for your own good. After you hand over the house property, you can find a place to suicide and reunite with the ghosts of the Zhou clan."

These words were extremely vicious. Fiona and her mother must suffer a lot in their daily life.

"Then how much are you going to pay?" Richie's eyes narrowed and became colder.

"Bah! What are you fucking saying? Money? Do you want money to buy coffins? It's your fortune to let us take away your house. Don't be so shameless, okay?" The more the man said, the more excited he became. Regardless of the others, he had walked to the counter and looked for the income of today's restaurant.

"So, we have taken a lot of advantage of you!" Richie teased.

"Haha, you are right! So, just let that girl stay with us for a few nights as a reward." After saying that, the three of them burst into laughter.

Fiona was very angry. She pointed at the three people and couldn't say anything.

"Fiona, go back to your room first." Richie was angrier than Fiona Zhou. He didn't expect them spoke so rudely.

If Fiona were not here, he would kill them on the spot.

Seeing that Fiona turned around and left, the leader of the hooligans said impatiently, "don't hesitate. Go inside and ask the old woman to sign it, and then burn here."

The two of them were about to enter the inner room.

"Huh! Go to hell!"
