Er Hei called Fang Yu, Yang Lei, and several others to get together.

Ever since Er Hei came to the Grand Century Restaurant, he didn’t need to go out to collect debts. Luo Jiu sent other people to take over his work, and Er Hei peacefully helped Fang Yu at the restaurant. Today, Er Hei would be considered a talent in public relations. Not long after he came to the Grand Century Restaurant, he got along well and was on brotherly terms with all those from commerce, tax, and urban management. Grand Century Restaurant didn’t need to bother about these areas, and it saved Fang Yu a lot of worries.

That day, Er Hei was in high spirits. He called Fang Yu, Yang Lei, Lao Liang, and several close brothers. At night, they ate at Grand Oriental Restaurant, and then went to Zheng Da Nightclub.

Er Hei kept hugging his wife. The two of them were affectionate and intimate. In the eyes of all the brothers, it was unspeakably nauseating. Even Fang Yu couldn’t keep watching anymore.

“Hey, hey, go back home and kiss! Be civilized!” Fang Yu joked.

“Xiao Qin, you’re pretty capable. You even collected Er Hei. He’s not an ordinary person!”

Lao Liang joked smilingly. Xiao Qin’s face was red, adding more to her shyness.

Er Hei hugged his wife: “What’s the matter? If the brothers are envious, you all should also find someone to marry!”

“Enough, enough. Today, you’re paying. Provoke us as you like!”

Everyone made a fuss.

Er Hei waited for everyone to finish laughing, before he said elatedly: “Let me tell you, I’m about to be a dad!”

The corners of Er Hei’s eyebrows and eyes were full of happiness…

That night was the happiest night in over twenty years for Er Hei. The brothers cheered and chimed in loudly, forcing him to admit that he “first got in the car and then paid for the ticket.” Er Hei was given drinks continuously. His face was flushed. On this kind of occasion, Yang Lei could make a fuss the most. He took the lead in fussing until a group of people were shouting and laughing… Fang Yu sat drinking wine, smiling as he watched them fool around. Looking at Er Hei’s happy expression as he hugged Xiao Qin, Fang Yu remembered that when Er Hei had just started following him back then, Er Hei would confusedly cause trouble all day… Fang Yu was happy for him from the bottom of his heart…

As they were fooling around, several people came over.

“Er Hei!”

Someone shouted.

Er Hei raised his head.

“Yo! Liang Gua!”

Er Hei knew Liang Gua from when he was collecting debts in Lu City. He was also in the gangdom and was considered a familiar face.

“When did you come to Jianghai? Come, come! Sit!”

Er Hei greeted warmly.

“Just arrived. Are you having fun?”

Liang Gua was polite, radiating warmth.

“Let me introduce my friend from Lu City, Liang Gua! These are all my brothers!”

Er Hei stood up and walked over to put his arm around Liang Gua’s shoulder. He smiled as he brought him towards the seats.

“Come, come! Have a drink together! Today, I have…”

Before he spoke the two words “happy event,” Er Hei’s belly went cold.

Er Hei lowered his head dazedly, looking at the knife stuck into his stomach. Blood flowed out of the slit made from the knife…

Liang Gua already quickly stabbed him a second time. He pulled it out and stabbed it in again…

Everything happened in just a second. No one had a chance to react. Everyone was stunned.

“Fuck your mother!!” Fang Yu roared painfully as jumped over the table. He violently overturned Liang Gua, pressing him hard to the ground… Liang Gua struggled and wanted to stand up. Fang Yu seized that knife dripping in fresh blood and plunged it into Liang Gua’s back. Blood splattered out. Fang Yu raised his hand and stabbed again…

“Ow—!” Liang Gua screamed. The people behind Liang Gua rushed up. Yang Lei and Lao Liang all rushed up…

“Murder! Someone died!” The crowd was a mess, screaming as they ran outside.

“…Hei-zi! Hei-zi…!!” Xiao Qin cried heartbreakingly, shaking Er Hei who had fallen in the pool of blood…

Thirty or forty people rushed in from outside, each one carrying broad machetes. They were all strangers. They rushed at Yang Lei and the others. This was a premeditated ambush, and it was a battle where they were greatly outnumbered. Yang Lei and Lao Liang only brought five or six brothers as they opened a blood path. There were brothers who had no time to run out. They were trapped in the innermost corner, surrounded, and slashed violently…

“Fang Yu! Go!!”

Yang Lei and Lao Liang went to pull away the red-eyed Fang Yu. No matter what the fighting was like around him, Fang Yu turned a deaf ear. He only held Liang Gua down and swung at him alone. Liang Gua’s back was already two bloody holes, horrifying to look at. His face was so mutilated that his facial features couldn’t be distinguished. Under Fang Yu’s hands, it was like a mass of dead meat.

“Stop fighting! Let’s go!!”

Yang Lei pulled him.

“Er Hei is dying!”

Yang Lei roared!

Fang Yu finally reacted. He threw down Liang Gua, who was already silent. He carried Er Hei, who was covered in blood, on his back…

Lao Liang had blood-shot eyes from cutting and was opening a path out of the encirclement in the front. Yang Lei picked up a steel bench. Those who were swung at by the bench corner were all badly beaten. Fang Yu carried Er Hei, his back wet and hot. That was blood flowing from Er Hei’s stomach, soaking the shirt made into an emergency bandage, wetting Fang Yu’s back…

Someone came to block Fang Yu and was kicked in the kneecap. He screamed as he toppled over the ground…

After half an hour, Zheng Da Nightclub’s revenge murder shocked the entire Jianghai gangdom.

This fierce fight that night started the prelude of the war between these two city’s gangdoms. Jianghai, which had already been calm for a long time, fell into a bloodbath.
