Chapter 4 Once for All

Philip didn't stay in the hospital much. After Aunt Wang arrived, Philip and Aunt Wang talked for a while, declined Old Wang's invite for dinner, and then left the hospital. When he left, Philip left the key to the room he rented to Old Wang and asked him to give it to his niece. Philip didn't talk about the rent money. Now that he had decided to be kind, he would be it then. Philip, who just walked out of the hospital gate, felt the meal smell from the hotel. His hungry stomach made a discontented protest. Philip touched his shriveled stomach. "I didn't treat you well today. But we have to go to work first." It was not that Philip had no appetite. He had no money. The rest of the money in his pocket had been used to pay the medical expenses to Old Wang. Now in Philip's pocket, there was not even a coin for taking the bus so that he couldn't have a big meal. If Old Wang's noodle shop hadn't been smashed, Philip didn't need to suffer this kind of hungry feeling now. The feeling of starvation was not good. It was all because Big Yang and his group destroyed Old Wang's noodle shop and made Philip hungry. So Philip took account of his starvation on Big Yang and his group. "Big Yang, we've been unlucky recently. We're going to lose our underpants." When Big Yang, with a gold chain around his neck, just walked out of the gambling house, his subordinates came up to complain. Big Yang spat on the ground and scolded. "Unfortunately, I've lost several days, too. Hurry to find a way to get some money for me. Damn! I must win back the money." The little gangster with yellow hair said in embarrassment. "Big Yang, we have collected all the protection fees this month. Today, we smashed the old Wang's noodle shop. The old man was not willing to pay more money. It seems to be impossible to collect more protection fees from those guys." Big Yang slapped the little gangster in his face and cursing. "Fuck you! I don't care about that. From tomorrow, collect money from door to door, and smash their shops until they give the money." The young gangster, who had been slapped, covered his face. "Big Yang, it's not that we don't smash it. If we do too much, those guys will probably close their shops. If that happens, we will have no place to get the money in the future." "Big Yang, what Little Five said is not unreasonable. In my opinion, money must be collected, but we can change the reasons." The gangster, who first complained, approached Big Yang and whispered. "Two days later, it will be your birthday. We can, for the sake of your longevity, ask those guys to give you a gift. They dare not to refuse to do so." "Good boy. Let's do as you said." Big Yang patted the gangster on the shoulder and laughed. "I haven't had a birthday for a long time. When we collect the money that day, let's go to The Heaven Nightclub to have some fun. I heard that there are some new young girls. Let's have a good try to those pretty whores." As he spoke, Big Yang licked his lips, as if recalling the scene of doing those things before. "It turns out that people like you also have birthdays. I thought you forgot that you are born by a mother and raised by a father. But if they had known that you would be like this, they probably would not have given birth to you." In the dim light of the alley, a slightly lean man leaned on the wall with a cigarette in his mouth. "Shit, son of a bitch, what are you talking about? Do you want to die." Before Big Yang spoke, the yellow-haired little gangster who had been slapped roared out first. He intended to behave well in front of his boss. "Where do you come from? How do you dare to scold me? Give him..." Bang! Big Yang didn't finish his speaking, but he got a foot in the chest. He flew out and fell to the ground with high power. When he was still in the air, Big Yang burst out the blood of his mouth. At the moment of landing, there was a dull sound, and he fell into a daze. Looking at Big Yang, who fell on the ground and was half dead, several younger gangsters were stunned. It took a long time for them to slow down and help Big Yang up with all hands and feet. Big Yang, Big Yang..." The man Leaning on the wall took a puff of smoke and then said impatiently. "Don't shout such loudly. He is alive, but will be at most in bed for a few months." "Damn it, brothers, take out knives and maimed this son of a bitch." The yellow-haired gangster first took out a dagger and rushed to the man. The rest of the younger gangsters hesitated for a few seconds, and then all followed the yellow-haired and pulled out knives. There was only one person without anything in his hand. Though the gangsters didn't know how Big Yang flew out, they were not afraid much because of the more numbers and the knives in his hands. They were gangsters and bullied people more often so that they have developed some ruthlessness. It was just that today they would be doomed. The man Leaning on the wall didn't move so much, but after a few muffled sounds, the gangsters who held knives and rushed to him all lay beside Big Yang. Some were spitting blood, while others were wailing. The slightest also had two ribs broken. Of course, the most serious one was Big Yang, whose internal organs were bleeding. "You'd better not to extort the protection fees. If you do so again, you will go to hell." The man warned. He flicked the cigarette butts in his hand and then left the alley. The man was naturally Philip. He was indeed merciful to Big Yang's group. If there were not in Country C where killing people would cause some unnecessary troubles, most of Big Yang's group members would go to hell. Initially, Philip still intended to warn and teach them. After seeing their faces, Philip's idea of teaching wholly faded. It was no use saying any more to Big Yang. Only violence could make them give in. This time, Philip kicked Big Yang to half dead. At least Big Yang had to lie in the hospital for several months. Old Wang and others who were doing business in the snack street could take a breath. If Big Yang were still unrepentant after he left the hospital, Philip might have to destroy him inhumanely. Today, Big Yang could smash Old Wang's noodle shop because he was short of money to gamble. So tomorrow, he might kill people to rob the money because of gambling debt. The only winner of gambling is the casino. Philip had his own life. He couldn't be distracted by the life of Old Wang's family all the time. Philip was used to solving problems from the root. In many cases, Philip preferred to do things once and for all. It was evening when Philip came home again. Susan, who had bright eyes and teeth and an attractive face, sat on the sofa in a white chiffon shirt, just like the fairy from the painting. She was so beautiful and refined that no one could bear to profane her. Even though it was not the first time to see Susan, Philip couldn't help looking at her more. No amount of appreciation to a woman like Susan was enough. Philip felt that the more he looked at Susan, the more he appreciated her. "Have you seen enough?" Drinking a spoon of porridge, Susan felt uncomfortable to Philip's aggressive sights, so that she could not help but scold Philip.
