Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 237: Chapter 236 Grievances

Fatty clattered away at his operations, and in an instant, his face changed, ”You’re right, there was something, happened half a month ago. A housewife, after an argument with her husband, ignited a gas tank, and her husband burned to death on the spot. Wow, she lit it herself? My goodness, what is this supposed to mean? I thought somebody did her harm, turns out it was self-inflicted trouble!”

Su Yang got up and said, ”Come on, let’s go for some late-night snacks!”

”You’re in the mood for late-night snacks at this time?” Fatty curled his lip but still followed Su Yang out. Lately, Fatty had gradually started putting on weight again.

The two found a stall at the night market, ordered some skewers and beer, and began to munch on them right there on the street.

Fatty couldn’t eat meat, but he couldn’t stop eating the vegetable skewers, one after another until they were all gone in a moment.

”Boss, let’s have some more, fifty more skewers. Wow, these skewers are really well done?” Fatty shouted out.

The stall owner was excited, it was rare to get such a good business late at night and to hear such flattering words too.

”Of course, I’ve been grilling for decades. In Wuguang City, who doesn’t know about my skills!” the stall owner said with pride.

”Lucky for me today, keep it coming, come on, grill faster, I want to eat my fill!” Fatty continued shouting.

”No problem!” The stall owner ran off excitedly to get busy.

Su Yang was distracted, he got up and walked around the cooking stall, then suddenly asked in surprise, ”Boss, isn’t it unsafe to have the gas tank here like this?”

”What’s unsafe about it?” The stall owner said disdainfully, ”I’ve been doing this for decades, never had any accidents. This thing is very safe!”

”That’s not right though, I heard that something happened here not too long ago, a gas explosion that killed someone!” Su Yang said.

”What gas explosion? That was purely somebody getting framed!” The stall owner replied offhandedly.

”Framed? By who?” Su Yang asked.

”Those developers...” The stall owner started to say but then his expression suddenly changed, and he promptly clamped up, looking at Su Yang with suspicion: ”Why do you ask these questions?”

”Just curious, just asking,” Su Yang said with a light smile. He had actually already used the Soul Searching Technique to see what was going on.

”I don’t know anything,” the stall owner immediately denied, looking at Su Yang with guarded eyes.

Su Yang smiled and didn’t say anything further. He returned to the table and sat down, turning to Fatty. ”Do you want to know what really happened at Xiao Hei’s place?”

”What happened?” Fatty asked curiously.

”If you want to know...” Su Yang nodded towards the stall owner: ”Get him drunk, and he’ll tell you!”

”Really?” Fatty’s spirits immediately lifted, and he beckoned the stall owner over to sit and drink together.

At that point, no other customers were coming to eat, and since Su Yang and his friends were generous with their spending, the stall owner couldn’t resist joining them for drinks.

When the stall owner was about seventy percent drunk, his lips were no longer sealed, and Fatty took the opportunity to ask about Xiao Hei’s family.

”Oh, you’re talking about Xiao Hei’s family, ah, they’ve been wronged!” the boss said. ”We were from the same village before, but then, last year, there was a development project going on in our area. That developer came into the village wanting to requisition our land, and Xiao Hei’s house was within the development area.”

”The developer’s name was Feng Qiang, a local thug around here. Somehow he cozied up to a company from the province and got himself a lot of money. But these people were just a pack of hooligans with money who didn’t want to share with the common folks, insisting on taking over the land. They did some calculations for Xiao Hei’s house and said it cost thirteen thousand to build, so they only offered thirteen thousand to force Xiao Hei’s family to move.”

”Damn, thirteen thousand! That’s the price from thirty years ago. Nowadays, where can you buy a house for thirteen thousand? And that’s not even taking into account their homestead land!”

”Xiao Hei’s parents, of course, weren’t willing, and as a result, they got bullied by those people. At first, it was just beating them up, but later they simply started throwing stuff into their house, all kinds of filth, like excrement, urine, snakes, and the like. Xiao Hei’s mom was stubborn and just wouldn’t agree, which eventually escalated the situation.”

”A month ago, their house had an accident, a liquefied gas explosion, and Xiao Hei’s father got burnt to death. Before the incident, there was an argument inside, and then the explosion happened. Some people saw Feng Qiang leaving Xiao Hei’s house with his goons, and the one arguing was Feng Qiang himself. But later on, the investigation concluded that it was Xiao Hei’s parents who were arguing, and his mother had lit the liquefied gas.”

”How could that be possible, Xiao Hei’s parents got on so well, they’ve never fought. And besides, before she got burnt, Xiao Hei’s mother had one hand and one foot chopped off. Xiao Hei’s father had it even worse, his tongue was cut out. In such a condition, could it have been self-inflicted? This is just outright bullying!”

”Motherfucker!” Fatty was furious, slamming down on the table and bellowing, ”It must be that bastard Feng Qiang who did it, they went too far, do they think they’re above the law?”

”What’s there to fear when you have money?” the boss said sourly. ”Above the law? They define the law, they are the law. Feng Qiang has really solid connections in the county. After this incident, nothing happened to them at all, and what’s more, Xiao Hei’s house was demolished the next day. Tell me, is there any justice in this world?”

”I’m gonna fuck his ancestors!” Fatty couldn’t hold back any longer, patting Su Yang on the shoulder, ”Hey, Su Yang, get some help; I want to kill these sons of bitches!”

The boss was already drunk, slumped on the table babbling nonsense.

Su Yang shook his head and said softly, ”Let Xiao Hei take his own revenge.”

”Damn, what are you joking about?” Fatty glared and said, ”How’s he supposed to get revenge by himself? He’s just a kid, you’re setting him up!”

”Don’t worry, he can take care of it!” Su Yang said softly. ”All we have to do is provoke him a bit more.”

”What the hell are you going to do?” Fatty was confused.

Su Yang didn’t say a word and went straight to the underpass of the bridge. He woke Xiao Hei with a sound transmission, and Xiao Hei clambered out, stumbling and looking at Su Yang in astonishment, ”You... who are you?”

Su Yang tossed a Guiyuan Pill to him, ”Eat this pill, and your injuries will heal!”

Xiao Hei held the pill, looking puzzled, ”Who exactly are you?”

”If I wanted to hurt you, I could have killed you directly; why go through such trouble?” Su Yang said softly. ”I just can’t stand the things Feng Qiang has done!”

Xiao Hei’s eyes reddened. After a moment, he swallowed the Guiyuan Pill.

”Alright, go to sleep!” Su Yang left straight away.

Xiao Hei was bewildered. Although he didn’t understand what was happening, he could feel that the injuries inside his body were gradually healing.

Su Yang, bringing Fatty along, went back to the previous mud house where Xiao Hei’s Sister was being temporarily kept.

”Go, kidnap Xiao Hei’s Sister,” Su Yang told Fatty. ”Oh, and remember to tell him that Boss Feng ordered it!”
