Brook saw Aquiya’s fearful expression, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He walked over to Aquiya, patted her shoulder, and said, "Aquiya, don’t worry. Master Chen is really good to his subordinates. Your brother died protecting him, and Master Chen will ensure justice is served for you. Those who bullied you won’t get away with it."
Aquiya turned and hugged Brook’s waist, burying her face against him. Brook stiffened for a mont and wasn’t sure where to put his hands. In the end, he gently patted Aquiya’s head.
Standing nearby, Ye Ru witnessed this scene, unsure of how to feel—comforted or pensive.
Brook was 20 years older than Aquiya. From the mont he first laid eyes on Aquiya, he had developed a unique emotion towards her.
However, because of the significant age difference and the fact that Aquiya was his brother’s sister, Brook never dared to express his feelings for her.
Imagine knowing your brother likes your sister and wants to be with her. How would you feel?
Aquiya once resented Brook.
After her brother’s death, she looked to Brook for help. Though Brook promised to help, he never followed through.
At first, Aquiya thought that after her brother’s death, Brook, like everyone else, had moved on.
But seeing the current scene, with Brook by her side, she wasn’t a fool—Chen Che being here was undoubtedly thanks to Brook.
Brook truly went all out, rallying the kings of the Upper City District’s underground gangs.
This alone was enough for Aquiya to set everything aside.
Chen Che stood at the forefront of everyone, holding a knife, his expression indifferent as he looked ahead.
Xia Na stood beside him, muttering, "You troublemaker, always making things so big..."
The newcors were mbers of the security brigade.
A middle-aged man jumped out of a vehicle, his face rugged, followed by over 200 security brigade mbers, all holding standard weapons.
Johnny and others also rushed back with their n, imdiately leading to a standoff.
Upon seeing the rugged-faced man, Wood’s eyes lit up with delight as he shouted, "Dad, I’m here! Save ! Dad!"
The middle-aged man was Wood’s father, Wu Haitian. When Wu Haitian saw his son kneeling on the ground in a sorry state, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Soon after, a wave of anger surged within him.
Especially upon seeing two of Wood’s fingers broken, a massive rage welled up inside him.
A bunch of gangsters dared to treat Wu Haitian’s son like this!
"Everyone, on alert!"
The security brigade soldiers were not to be compared with the unruly mob Lando had gathered. With Wu Haitian’s command, they imdiately went into lockdown mode, aiming their guns at Johnny and his n.
Wu Haitian strode forward, his expression dark upon seeing Chen Che.
He naturally recognized Chen Che, the man who had stirred up the entire Ninth Special Zone, now renowned in the region.
Suppressing his anger, Wu Haitian took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Chen Che, saying, "Mr. Chen, how did my son offend you so much that you felt the need to treat him this way?"
Chen Che walked up to Wood, smiling, and placed a hand on Wood’s head. Looking at Wu Haitian, he said, "Wu Haitian, you’ve raised a fine son. With so many won in the Ninth Special Zone, so many brothels, yet he damn well chose to bully these two won.
Just because their man died and their husband hasn’t yet recovered from grief, does that make it right for your son to bully them?
You should know, the dead husband of this family was my brother who once saved my life.
How do you expect to respond when your son bullies these two won?
If I let your son walk out of here alive today, how can I command my n? What will my n think of ?"
Wu Haitian rely glanced at Wood and said coldly, "Chen Che! Aren’t they alive and well? You’ve also killed soone, let’s leave room for reconciliation in the future, no need to fight to the death!"
"Oh? By Wu Captain’s words, do you an I should release your son?"
"Else what? Surely you don’t dare kill my son?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Chen Che sneered, his eyes glinting with madness, "If I let him walk out of here unscathed today, am I true to the brother who saved my life?"
"Chen Che!!! I’m telling you, this is my son, my only son, if you dare harm him? I, Wu Haitian, swear, no matter who’s behind you! I, Wu Haitian, will fight to the death with you!"
"Then let’s have a confrontation."
"Click! Click!"
The sound of bullets chambering echoed one after another.
Both sides were instantly in a tense standoff.
Wood trembled incessantly; he originally thought that once his father arrived, there would be a way out, but he never expected Chen Che not to give even his father any face.
Wood regretted it deeply; he originally thought Ye Ru was just a re widow.
Is Chen Che out of his mind?
Why care so much about a widow whose husband died?
Is this situation really worth it?
Just when the situation seed uncontrollable, another group arrived. Upon seeing them, Wu Haitian’s face imdiately showed respect as he said, "Sir!"
