Chapter 24: Brotherly Bonds And Respectful Juniors
“So fast!” Several henchmen who followed out from inside the dance hall originally wanted to see if Chen Wujun needed help.
In the end, they just saw these two men instantly go down.
Chen Wujun lowered his head and patted his pants, only to find that his pants were torn by the broken bottle.
He immediately felt a bit heartbroken, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
“My pants!”
He turned around and kicked Brother Hua in the stomach, sending the whole person flying a meter across the ground.
“Drag these two away, make them compensate me for my pants, 3000 bucks. If they don’t pay, wait for me to come back later to deal with them!” Chen Wujun was filled with anger, his eyes flashing with menace.
These two pairs of pants of his were very expensive.
Back then, including the shirt and shoes, it cost him a total of 2000 bucks.
These were the only set of clothes he had that he could show off.
They hadn’t even been washed a few times, yet they were torn by that “Brother Hua” with a bottle.
“Got it, Brother Jun!” Several henchmen familiar with Chen Wujun immediately walked over and said.
Originally, they all called him A Jun, after all, Chen Wujun was young and had just joined Sha Jiu, so everyone didn’t take him too seriously.
But at this moment, seeing him strike ruthlessly and cleanly, with menace in his eyes, plus Sha Jiu’s identity, they immediately felt three parts respect in their hearts.
This subtle change was immediately noticed by Chen Wujun.
He thought to himself: ‘Sure enough, only if you’re fierce and ruthless will others fear and respect you. Before, they all called me A Jun, now it’s Brother Jun.’
“Thanks!” Chen Wujun patted the other’s shoulder and turned to walk towards Eldest Son Chen Wuhong.
At this time, Chen Wuhong was already stunned.
He didn’t expect his younger brother to be so ruthless, taking down Brother Hua and Brother Hu in a flash.
What shocked him even more was the attitude of those henchmen towards Chen Wujun.
You know, all the grey industry in the Walled City has gang backing, and this striptease dance hall is the same.
Chen Wujun grabbed Chen Wuhong’s collar and dragged him to a distance.
After walking dozens of meters, he dragged him into an alley and slammed him against the wall.
“Tell me, what were you doing there? Where’d the money come from?”
Chen Wuhong came to his senses and growled lowly: “You’re crazy, Brother Hua and them are Li Dong’s people!”
“You beat them, they’ll definitely retaliate against you! And against me too!”
Slap!
Chen Wujun gave him another slap.
“No need to wait for them to retaliate against you, first think about how to get past me!”
“Where’d the money come from, and what’s the deal with them?”
Chen Wuhong knew he couldn’t beat Chen Wujun, and after being beaten and injured by Chen Wujun last time, he couldn’t walk for half a month, so he was also afraid of this younger brother in his heart.
Seeing Chen Wujun’s unfriendly expression at this moment, Chen Wuhong was scared in his heart and said lowly:
“I know I’m useless, I’m dragging down the family, but I’m still family, I’m not a criminal!”
Seeing Chen Wujun raise his hand again, Chen Wuhong quickly said: “I bet on horses and hit the solo win… won some money…”
That day Chen Wuhong scammed another 600 bucks from mom, he didn’t want to go to work at all, just wanted to turn things around, so he ran off to bet on horses, and surprisingly hit a long shot, winning over twenty thousand.
Chen Wuhong suddenly felt like his luck had turned, and he kept betting for a week, winning some losing some, but this time he didn’t lose money.
In the following days, he was out carousing, of course, he didn’t dare tell Chen Wujun this.
“I just want to earn some money too, bring some back and make mom and dad happy, help pay off some family debts, I finally got in with them, want to partner with them on some business…”
“Do business?” Chen Wujun sneered: “You do business with them? They’d swallow you bones and all, you do business with them?”
“This business is a sure thing! There’s a market, big demand, just hard to get the goods, they have the goods!” Chen Wuhong immediately argued.
“Such a good business?” Chen Wujun’s mind turned, his face even colder: “Black ointment or number four?”
（Black ointment refers to weed）
“Black ointment is legal, there are so many legal shops, why would I sell that? Number four isn’t for me either, they have tons of Purple Water, so many people are using it, if I get in on this line, I’ll make a fortune for sure!” Chen Wuhong argued vigorously.
Chen Wujun’s mind turned, and he knew what Purple Water was.
A kind of cough syrup, some people mix it into drinks and alcohol to drink together.
This is actually a legitimate medicine.
But in the Federation, selling black ointment isn’t illegal as long as you get a license. This cough syrup, on the other hand, is strictly regulated.
At this moment, Chen Wujun felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart, this bastard was not only gambling now, but even dared to touch this stuff?
Barely suppressing the urge to beat him to death, he demanded: “How much money is left?”
“If I use the money to pay back now, it’ll be gone, I need to make it grow to earn more!” Hearing Chen Wujun ask about money, Chen Wuhong immediately forgot his fear and yelled directly.
Chen Wujun fiercely kicked his calf.
These days he’d been punching practice, not just his knees, his fists, feet, and calves had become extremely hard with the help of ointment.
At this moment, the kick landed, and Chen Wuhong only felt like his leg was broken, lying on the ground screaming in agony.
Chen Wujun expressionlessly walked to the alley entrance, picked up a brick from the ground, turned back to Chen Wuhong’s side, and smashed the side of the brick down onto his calf.
“Second Son… what are you doing?”
Crack!
The brick was directly smashed to pieces.
“Ah——! My leg, my leg’s broken!” Chen Wuhong wailed even louder, clutching his calf and rolling on the ground.
“Good if your leg’s broken, a broken leg can save your life!” Chen Wujun looked down at Chen Wuhong and said.
He had originally wanted to kill this big brother of his.
But just now in the dance hall, this gambler still showed a bit of family feeling, helping him smooth things over, though he didn’t need it, it did soften his heart a bit, so he decided to break his leg and leave him at home to recuperate.
When his leg was almost healed, break the other one too.
If that’s not enough, break his arms too.
Moments later, Chen Wujun dragged him up, supported him under the armpits, helped him walk out, and his tone became calm:
“Leg broken? Does it hurt? I’ll take you to the clinic to check your leg, then send you home!”
“From now on, stay home and recuperate properly! There’ll be hot meals every day, no more wandering outside, mom and dad are very worried about you. Didn’t you just say we’re family!”
However, the more he said this, the colder Chen Wuhong felt.
It was Chen Wujun who just broke his leg, yet now it was as if nothing had happened and it had nothing to do with him.
“Second Son, let me go… I promise I won’t owe loan shark money again.” Chen Wuhong begged.
“Go home and recuperate your leg, or accidentally fall off the rooftop, you choose.” Chen Wujun continued supporting him, speaking in a calm tone.
“Anyway, if you die, mom and dad will be sad for a few days at most, there’s still me and Younger Brother at home. Mom and dad won’t have to worry about loan sharks coming to the door anymore.”
Chen Wuhong knew he wasn’t joking.
His own younger brother, he didn’t know when he became someone he completely didn’t recognize.
Chen Wujun supported Chen Wuhong to a clinic.
“Doctor, when will his leg heal?” Chen Wujun asked caringly while waiting on the side.
“The injury isn’t too severe, bone crack, not broken. But it’ll take six weeks to walk, and no weight-bearing, no fast walking. Come back for a checkup in eight weeks.” The doctor said while putting a splint on Chen Wuhong’s leg.
“That’s good.” Chen Wujun nodded.
The brick wasn’t sturdy enough, it could only keep him home for six weeks.
When his leg was almost healed, next time use an iron rod.
Moments later, Chen Wujun supported Chen Wuhong to leave, and on the way home Chen Wujun said: “You know what to say when we get back, right?”
“About my business, you don’t say a word. Otherwise I’ll kill you!”
“How good to stay home every day? Watch television, eat mom’s cooking, bored? Read a book. What do you like to read, I’ll buy it for you. Want pornographic magazines?”
Chen Wujun spoke sometimes with cold threats, sometimes full of concern and warmth, leaving Chen Wuhong with only one thought in his mind.
A Jun’s gone mad!
He’s a madman now!
Opening the door, dad and mom were on the sofa watching television, mom looked towards the door with some expectation, seeing it was Chen Wujun, she asked:
“Why are you back at this time?”
Then she saw Chen Wujun dragging Chen Wuhong in.
Chen Wuhong’s leg had a splint on it.
“A Hong! You’re back!”
“What happened to your leg?”
“Just now I saw big brother being chased and beaten, so I brought big brother back!” Chen Wujun said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Hanliang’s face changed, he stood up and walked over, staring at Chen Wuhong with frustration at his failure to meet expectations:
“Did you go gambling again? You didn’t owe loan shark money again, did you?”
“This time it wasn’t loan sharks, seems like he offended someone!” Chen Wujun said directly.
“Doctor said he has to lie down six weeks before he can walk, can’t go to work these days, might as well recuperate at home.”
Hearing this, Chen Hanliang’s face eased a bit.
“Good he wasn’t beaten to death.”
Then he went back to the sofa to continue watching television, though his mind clearly wasn’t on it.
“What kind of people, striking so ruthlessly… Alright, good to be home! Go back to work when the injury heals.” Huang Meizhen felt heartbroken that her eldest son’s leg was broken, but also relieved.
Good to be back, as long as he didn’t owe loan shark money again.
Chen Wujun went into his bedroom and took the money from under the pillow and put it in his pocket.
Then he went to the bathroom and stuffed another wad of money into his waistband.
“I’m heading back to the martial arts school.”
“A Jun, these clothes… suit you well.” Chen Hanliang had wanted to comment on Chen Wujun’s outfit earlier.
Leather shoes, dark long pants, dark blue shirt, making his whole person look tall and sharp.
Not like his previous cheap T-shirts, even the student vibe was gone.
“Senior Brother Li’s, he’s about my height, he wore the clothes once and didn’t wear them again, gave them to me.” Chen Wujun said casually.
“Your senior brother at the martial arts school is really nice, letting you work at the martial arts school, helping you with other things too. If there’s a chance, thank him properly!” Chen Hanliang said.
Chen Wuhong kept his head down, full of words but couldn’t say a thing.
“Got it.” Before leaving, Chen Wujun glanced at Eldest Son: “Recuperate properly.”
Once out of the house, he went straight to the dance hall with a cold face.
His pants!
Very expensive!
