"You brat, showing off on your first day here, you really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. Let me show you what I, Chen Yibiao, am capable of." This guy was ruthless; as he spoke, he swung the iron crowbar down towards Fei Hu's ankle. If it hit, it would surely shatter bones, and Fei Hu might end up crippled for life.
Just as he was about to strike, Fei Hu quickly retracted his outstretched right leg. Chen Yibiao's crowbar smashed into the ground, sending dust flying and causing several people to gasp in shock. This guy was truly vicious; no wonder everyone feared him. But Fei Hu was different; when faced with such a bully, the more arrogant they were, the more he wanted to take them down.
In that instant when Fei Hu pulled back his right leg, he pushed himself off the ground with both hands and swiftly kicked out with his left leg, landing a powerful blow to Chen Yibiao's groin. The force was immense, and since Chen Yibiao was unprepared, he was sent rolling down the slope, tumbling several times before getting up covered in dirt, looking utterly disheveled.
In a group of over twenty people, everyone continued with their work as if they hadn't seen anything. Fei Hu sensed the hatred directed at Chen Yibiao; Zhang Gui and Li Lin were startled and stood up but quickly sat back down after glancing at Fei Hu.
As Fei Hu returned to his spot and picked up the crowbar to resume work, Li Si Niu whispered, "If you're going to fight him, make him submit. What you did just now will only make him feel indifferent. If you're not careful, he'll come after you for revenge."
Fei Hu realized this was true. He took a few steps over and bent down to grab Chen Yibiao's ankle as he was trying to climb back up the slope. With all his strength, he yanked downward. There was a loud crack as dust flew up; Chen Yibiao fell awkwardly onto the ground, getting dirt in his nose and mouth, with blood trickling from his nostrils.
This was the first time Fei Hu had hit someone so hard. Usually, he would just take down one or two people without much fuss. But today was different; chasing after someone like this was a first for him. Chen Yibiao was caught off guard by Fei Hu's sudden attacks and had no chance to retaliate. However, from his eyes, Fei Hu could see his defiance.
Fei Hu had initially thought of holding back but seeing Chen Yibiao like this reignited his anger. He lifted his leg again and kicked hard; this time Chen Yibiao was sent tumbling over the stone embankment and disappeared from sight. Fei Hu felt a jolt of surprise as those working around them also paused to steal glances in their direction.
Not wanting to stop halfway through, Fei Hu leaped over the stone embankment and saw Chen Yibiao sitting on the ground covered in blood with a rock still clutched in his hand. It seemed he had yet to realize his predicament and still harbored thoughts of revenge. With a quick motion, Fei Hu kicked again, knocking the rock from Chen Yibiao's hand. He then twisted Chen Yibiao's arm behind his back and pressed down hard—a torturous hold that most people couldn't endure.
Fei Hu kept increasing the pressure, but this desperate man remained silent under the strain. Just when Fei Hu felt like giving up, Chen Yibiao finally shouted, "Spare me!" Only then did Fei Hu release him; even if Chen Yibiao hadn't called out, he would have let go soon anyway—he didn't want to risk breaking his arm.
Sitting on the ground with a pale face and sweat rolling down like beads, Chen Yibiao looked terrifyingly defeated. It dawned on Fei Hu that he had encountered a true desperate man.
After a while, Chen Yibiao gasped and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of these people. In the dormitory, you are our boss. Don't worry, what I, Chen Yibiao, have said is as solid as a rock; I will never go back on my word."
Fei Hu took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as he replied, "What nonsense about being a boss? I don't care. I don't want to manage these people here. I just hope you won't cause trouble for us two newcomers. If there's a next time, you can forget about this arm of yours." Fei Hu deliberately spoke very harshly.
Chen Yibiao nodded vigorously, saying repeatedly, "Okay, I will definitely listen to you. With your skills, brother, I'm surprised I haven't seen you on the streets before. I wonder what brought you in this time?"
Fei Hu thought to himself that this person was really shameless. He had just given him a little favor, and now he was stepping all over him and probing into his background. However, it was better this way; it was good to let his information out early so that others would know.
Fei Hu smiled lightly and said, "I'm just an unskilled brother trying to make a living in the Dragon Tiger Gang. This time I accidentally killed someone and got a life sentence. Since I don't want to live anyway, killing one is the same as killing two."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yibiao stood up in shock. He said, "We've always been working with Brother Tiger. Most of the people inside we have seen before; maybe it's just that your status is a bit high, so everyone is unfamiliar with you."
"Brother Tiger is just the third master. You should know that there is also Brother Long in the Dragon Tiger Gang, and there's another true big brother. I'm someone who follows the big brother every day," Fei Hu said. These were things he had heard Yingzi mention before; he didn't expect to actually use them today.
When Chen Yibiao heard that Fei Hu was close to Ye Cheng, he immediately softened. He was merely a thug for Ye Wu in the Dragon Tiger Gang; in terms of status, he was far behind. However, this kid was quite clever. He quickly thought of something and said, "You have a life sentence; it must be for a serious crime. Why are you placed together with us who have fixed-term sentences?"
"Hahaha! Don't you know? In this world, money can make ghosts push mills. Who I follow is the big brother of the Dragon Tiger Gang, Ye Cheng—a well-known figure in City A. Do you think it would be difficult for him to handle such a matter?" Fei Hu stared at Chen Yibiao, afraid he wouldn't believe him. His earlier words had been practiced with Ni Ling beforehand, so they came easily.
Fei Hu's words completely subdued Chen Yibiao. It turned out this young man had such an identity; no wonder he not only had good skills but also dared to act recklessly in prison—his methods were not inferior at all. From this perspective, he really was part of the Dragon Tiger Gang.
With one hand hanging behind him, Chen Yibiao hurriedly bowed to Fei Hu and said, "I'm sorry; it's like the flood has hit the Dragon King Temple—family members don't recognize each other anymore. I wonder how Brother Tiger is doing now? He promised to get me out of here, but I've been stuck here for almost two years with no news at all."
Fei Hu thought to himself that Brother Tiger might have forgotten about him long ago! He shouldn't be daydreaming here. However, he still politely replied to Chen Yibiao, "The Dragon Tiger Gang won't forget anyone. Ye Wu has been a bit busy lately; once he's done with his matters, he might start looking into things for the brothers here."
Chen Yibiao, upon hearing this, believed it to be true, his eyes sparkling with excitement. It seemed he had grown tired of this place. At that moment, Li Si Niu suddenly stretched his head out from behind the stone embankment. When he saw that both were safe and sound, he quickly pulled his head back in.
Fei Hu, fearing that Chen Yibiao would ask too many questions, hurriedly said, "We've been down here for a while; we should head back up quickly! We don't want to attract the guard's attention." Chen Yibiao nodded and, with difficulty, followed Fei Hu as they slowly climbed up the stone embankment. Fei Hu pretended not to notice; after all, who told him to be so arrogant? This was just a small punishment for him.
Once at the top, Chen Yibiao shouted at Zhang Gui and Li Lin, "Come down and help finish the work here; we can only leave once it's done." Chen Yibiao's sudden change surprised many present, especially Zhang Gui, who looked utterly confused. He worked while stealing glances at Fei Hu's face, unable to understand what kind of trick this young man had used to make the notorious Chen Yibiao undergo such a drastic transformation.
The afternoon passed peacefully. After dinner, everyone relaxed on the basketball court; some chatted and boasted while others sat quietly lost in thought. Fei Hu stood by the iron railing, watching the leaves on the mountain gradually turn yellow. It suddenly struck him that winter was approaching, and he wondered if his grandfather's winter clothes were ready.
"Hey! Lost in thought?" Li Si Niu approached, pretending to admire the scenery as well.
Fei Hu didn't turn around and softly replied, "Yes, I'm a bit homesick."
"Haha! It's only natural. You're quite impressive; what kind of trick did you use to get Chen Yibiao to be so compliant? He's notorious for being a tough guy and a real outlaw."
"Do you know him? You seem to know quite a bit. What do you do? Can you tell me?" Fei Hu felt a sense of mystery surrounding Li Si Niu.
"Chen Yibiao is one of the Four Great Kings under Ye Wu of the Dragon Tiger Gang. He's known for being ruthless. A few years ago in City A, he gained infamy and was arrested during a brawl. I heard he took the fall for someone else," Li Si Niu explained clearly, adding even more mystery to his identity in Fei Hu's mind.
