Lawless Gangster

Chapter 23

Hi everyone! Here it is, one of my favorite chapter that makes this story even more interesting. I understand there was a bit of a confusion as to why things turn out the way it did based on the previous chapter. Hopefully, this chapter answers it for you, if not, just comment here and I'll clarify it. ENJOY! 

Thank you for reading enjoying the start of a journey with my boys:

Qi Xiu Yuan & Xiao Li

《不法之徒》

Even though, the pistol was pointed straight at Qi Xiu Yuan, he however, looked as if he wasn't taking notice of it at all. His eyes traveled passed the pistol and focused solely at Xiao Li's eyes instead, before he slowly asked, "So you've actually checked it out?"

The calmness and tacit approval in his words made Xiao Li 's murderous intent increase with an even stronger fury. He grabbed Qi Xiu Yuan by the collar and violently pulled him up from the ground. Not bothering for him to have a firm stand, Xiao Li's fist beat into his ribs. The strong impact caused Qi Xiu Yuan to stagger back a few steps before he fell to the ground. Xiao Li crouched down in front of him and pointed the pistol in front of his head again.

"Tell me again, is Du Yan San Ge your grandfather or not?"

Enduring the pain that seared throughout his body, Qi Xiu Yuan looked squarely at Xiao Li. In between strenuous gasped, he firmly tells him, "No."

Using the buttstock of the pistol, Xiao Li smashed it roughly against Qi Xiu Yuan's head causing it to ring to the side upon impact. The brutal collision drew Qi Xiu Yuan's breath in in one sick motion.

A cold and deranged air consumed Xiao Li as he tapped the pistol barrel against Qi Xiu Yuan's cheek and use it to turn his face back toward him so that he could still aim the pistol back at his forehead.

"Say it again!!"

"No."

Once again Xiao Li hauled him up and throws him cruelly against the cold wall. Then, with anger racing at a thousand miles in his head, he let his fist smashed into Qi Xiu Yuan's body countless more times.

Qi Xiu Yuan was completely unable to ward off those powerful punches nor did he have the strength to fight back. He groaned into the pain and willed his mind to endure the swelling that breached his body.

After what seemed like a long time, Xiao Li finally stopped, his heated breath seemingly fanned over the other man's presence. With one quick and strong move, he roughly captured Qi Xiu Yuan's chin with one of his hand and lift his head up while placing the muzzle of the pistol in between his brows with the other hand.

"'The path they walk may be different from ours but just like us, they are humans'," one by one Xiao Li spat those words out, "You lied to me about those as well?"

Qi Xiu Yuan felt as though his temple has been broken once it was smashed against the wall. He could sense the freshly drawn blood sliding down the left side of his head and painting the corner of his eye a slight shade of red, causing his field of vision to become askew. But even then, he could still see Xiao Li's hand tremble as he held the pistol.

It was as if he urgently needed his answer.

It was as if he was afraid of his answer.

It was as if this answer would change everything.
