Bab 1: The Start
Wang Ming sighed as he watched the fat sizzling of the skewers of duck meat. He got a headache thinking about how he and his father, Wang Ping, had ended up in this situation.
"Why wouldn't he just listen to me?"
Wang Ming had told his father a thousand times that Feng Fan his stepmother was just with him for the money. But he wouldn't listen, when he finally listened it was too late, Feng Fan had taken over his business house and money, not only this she even divorced him.
Feng Fan and her lawyer boyfriend had framed his father for adultery and domestic violence. Wang Ming still vividly remembers the look of despair on his father's face when he saw her mocking smile, and when she whispered into her boyfriend's ear that Wang Ping was a stupid monkey for believing that she loved him. He had never seen a more broken man in his life.
"Hello?"
"Hello, could I please get two skewers of meat and rice?"
Wang Ming, still deep in thought, didn't realize that he had a customer until he saw a face right in front of his own. Which almost made him fall off his chair, but he stabilized before falling off. That's when he got a good look at the person scaring him.
It was Lang Lin, a regular customer at his food stand She's any straight man's wet dream. She looked about 25 years old, a beautiful symmetrical face with sharp and elegant black and brown eyes. She stood about a head height shorter than Wang Ming, so he assumed she was 170 cm tall, thin with slender arms and legs. But she had meat where she needed. She has wide hips coupled with a great ass, big and heart-shaped. Breast larger than an orange but smaller than a pomelo.
"Right away, sister Lin, you working late again today?" Wang Ming asked before wrapping the skewers in brown parchment paper and put them in a bag for her.
"Yes, the company I work at has a lot of meetings, so as a receptionist I have to be there to greet the guests." Lang Lin said as she took the food from Wang Ming.
"Ok, 5 yuan please sister Lin, please take care."
Wang Ming had to admit that sister Lin had a special aura surrounding her. It felt good talking with her as it distracted him from all his negative thoughts. Even though they said nothing special to each other, other than some small talks. After paying, Lang Lin walked away. It was something about Lang Lin's smile that just sped up Wang Ming's heartbeat, but he knew she would always and only be a dream.
After Lang Lin walked away, Wang Ming decided to not mull on his problems anymore. He just had to take a step-by-step approach to rebuild his father's restaurant chain. He felt motivated and was ready to sacrifice anything to achieve his goal. But then Wang Ming heard something that lowered his mood again.
It was the start of the month, so that meant that the food stands on this street had to pay protection fees. Business had not been good this past month because of all the thugs roaming around scaring customers. They kept shouting to all business owners to fork out protection money.
Wang Ming saw three men walking behind an ugly looking man, his face just like a monkey. Funnily enough the man's name's also Monkey, but no one dares to call him that, everybody calls him Brother Hou. He's the local bully and controls this part of Liaoling city. Anyone doing business in this part of Liaoling city has to give Brother Hou face unless they don't want to do business anymore.
They walked around the street and collected protection money. Everything went as usual until Brother Hou stopped at Grandpa Lou's stand. Grandpa Lou's food stand was on the other side of the street so he couldn't see what was going on, but he could hear Brother Hou shout.
"Pay up unless you want us to crush your food stand!"
Wang Ming didn't want to get in trouble with Brother Hou, but Granda Lou had helped him when he first started working on this street. Wang Ming still remembered the first time Brother Hou demanded protection fees from Wang Ming.
He had just started selling on this street, and it was Grandpa Lou that helped him and paid Brother Hou for him. So Wang Ming cast away all his hesitation and ran over to Grandpa Lou's food stand to see them beating up on Grandpa Lou.
"Please stop the beating!" Wang Ming screamed, scaring the thugs and Brother Hou.
"Stop being a busybody and get back to your stand unless you don't want to sell here anymore."
Brother Hou said and threw Wang Ming to the side.
"Please let me pay for him. I don't think he can take much more of this. You don't want problems with the police, right?"
Wang Ming pleaded, only to see Brother Hou grinning at him. He then laughed out loud and said between breaths.
"In this part of the city, I AM KING. Who would dare to offend me? Especially not because of an old man in the last years of his life. But since you want to help him so much, I'll let you take his place, beat the shit out of him, boys!"
After Brother Hou stopped laughing, the thugs moved.
Wang Ming had never fought in a battle before and instinctively tried to protect his face. But before he had a chance, he got hit right in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. After that, everything became slow. The only thing Wang Ming knew was to protect his head. The thugs didn't care and kicked and stomped on Wang Ming's body.
Wang Ming didn't know how long the stomping went on, but after the first hits, he couldn't feel his body anymore, just the effects of their stomps. He grounded his teeth and tried to stay awake. The only thing that kept him awake was how his father would do without him, the humiliation and the fire for revenge. But the stomps never ended, one hitting him straight in the chest suffocating him, another one right on his knee. They just kept coming.
He was feeling despair is this how I'm going to die? He thought. But then he heard Grandpa Lou Kowtowing to Brother Hou, with a bleeding head Grandpa Lou shouted out. "Please stop them, Brother Hou I will give you all my money." Before stuffing 150 yuan into Brother Hou.
Finally, relief came when Wang Ming heard Brother Hou shouting,
"Stop! Consider yourself lucky kid, next time I see you it won't just end like this get out of my street! Let's go fuck some chicks, boys with the money this old man kindly donated."
Before Wang Ming succumbed to the darkness, he vowed to two things, revenge and to never let someone hurt him like this ever again.
