Chapter 176: Disaster Strikes Out of the Blue

Li Jiaci's heart was as clear as a mirror.

Wang Zhen sought him out alone to talk—what could he be saying?

It's not for anything else—it's about Wang Yingna!

The car's interior was cramped.

Wang Zhen lit a cigarette, and smoke filled the entire car.

"Brother, you don't need me to say it—you can understand my little sister's thoughts, right?"

"When do you plan to pierce this layer of window paper?"

He heard those words.

Li Jiaci knew he couldn't escape.

He then looked out the window and said lightly, "Our matter—don't worry about it!"

"You say that..."

"She's my little sister, you're my brother!"

"How can I not worry about your affairs?"

"Whether it works or not is just a word!"

"Gentlemen, don't act like women—nitpicking is unbecoming!"

Wang Zhen flicked the ash out the window, his tone growing heavier.

He couldn't just watch his sister helplessly, guarding a loveless relationship.

Wang Yingna's heartbreak would be worse than killing him.

Li Jiaci sighed.

"Alas!"

"Brother Wang Zhen, I'm quite content with my current life!"

"My brothers are all by my side, and the important people are still alive!"

"My career is thriving!"

"Every day I'm either making money or spending it!"

"I lack nothing!"

Wang Zhen narrowed his eyes and took a drag of his cigarette.

He looked at him with a complex gaze.

These words sounded as if someone had died.

"What you're content with are other people's affairs!"

"When will you also think about your own affairs?"

"Is just having money enough to get by?"

"Or you still need a confidant as a pillow companion!"

"To help you relieve the gloom in your heart!"

"And the fatigue of the body!"

"And also..."

Wang Zhen, while speaking, suddenly furrowed his brows.

Li Jiaci asked, "What else?"

"And also having a litter of big fat kids, enjoying the joy of parenthood!"

"Damn it, just thinking about my sister someday pregnant and lying in the hospital fighting for her life makes me want to beat you to death!"

Wang Zhen, angry, clenched his fists.

Upon hearing that, Li Jiaci burst out laughing.

"No, Brother Wang Zhen, how can you be so sure the one who will make her risk her life is me?"

"It's not even written in the stars yet!"

"Don't rush to a conclusion, okay?"

Wang Zhen's brows were tightly locked.

He stubbed out the cigarette, gritted his teeth and said, "If that guy isn't you, he's very likely to die at my hands!"

"Hahaha!"

"If you ever have a daughter, she'll surely be spoiled rotten!"

"Become a daughter's slave!"

Li Jiaci laughed a few times and said.

Wang Zhen also thought so, but these years he hasn't met a woman who catches his eye.

He doesn't know when his lifelong matter will be settled—maybe only in the year of the monkey and horse.

Perhaps it's because he opened the Song and Dance Hall.

Wang Zhen's side has never lacked alluring women.

His passion for women has long been diluted by assembly-line-like business.

Wang Zhen grabbed Li Jiaci's hand, speaking earnestly: "Brother, I think highly of you, that's why I'm telling you all this heartfelt talk!"

"I understand!"

"No, you don't understand—if you did, you'd have already settled things with my sister!"

"This kind of thing can't be rushed!"

"You giving an explanation would also be good!"

"……"

Li Jiaci wanted to pull his hand back.

But Wang Zhen grabbed his hand even tighter.

Actually, he had thought about it more than once; since there was a woman who loved him so selflessly, he might as well just be with her.

But whenever he was about to make up his mind,

In his mind, images of his past-life brothers' tragic deaths would always flash.

In his past life, his brothers hadn't even touched a woman's hand before they died and went to the underworld.

And their tragic deaths were inseparably linked to Li Jiaci.

Even saying that he caused their deaths would not be an exaggeration.

If he could be less impulsive and think more about the consequences, perhaps the situation would be very different.

But he stubbornly went ahead and did it anyway.

Heaven gave him the identity of a reborn person, letting him be reborn on that night full of regret.

Isn't it just to let him atone?

At least Li Jiaci thought so.

His rebirth was for the purpose of atonement.

Before his brothers had started families, what right did he have to be happy?

Even smiling made him feel deeply guilty.

Thinking of these, Li Jiaci felt a suffocating tightness in his chest.

He forcefully pulled his hand back, opened the car door, and said, "Wang Zhen Ge, I'm getting out for some fresh air!"

Just then.

Wang Yingna noticed the two were missing and curiously came out to check.

"Jiaci Ge, what are you two doing here?"

Li Jiaci was about to explain a few things.

Suddenly.

A dirty figure darted out from the woods in front of them.

"Damn bastard!"

"You go die for me!"

Accompanied by several angry shouts.

The opponent quickly drew a dagger from his waist.

He stabbed straight toward Li Jiaci's abdomen.

Li Jiaci's eyes widened in shock.

His muddled mind had no time to react.

However.

But Wang Yingna was much more clear-headed than him.

She lunged forward and threw herself into his arms.

Immediately after……

Puchi!

The sound of the dagger piercing flesh.

Hearing it made Li Jiaci's scalp explode.

Wang Zhen charged out of the car like a madman.

Seeing Wang Yingna limp and collapsing, his eyes instantly turned red, his face twisted terrifyingly.

"Nana!"

And Li Jiaci lifted his hand, seeing that both his hands were covered in blood.

He stared blankly at the person before him.

He uttered his name word by word.

"Zheng, Degui!"

Zheng Degui was filthy all over, his hair like a chicken coop, emitting waves of foul odor.

And he kept laughing maniacally.

"Hahaha……"

"Didn't expect that, huh? I'm back again!"

"Damn it, today is your death day!"

Zheng Degui bent over to try to pull the dagger out of Wang Yingna's body.

He was kicked over by the frenzied Wang Zhen with a single foot.

Then came kick after kick.

Zheng Degui was beaten until he howled.

Even his bloody, head-wounded state was not enough to dispel even one-thousandth of Wang Zhen's anger.

Li Jiaci trembled as he touched Wang Yingna's pale face.

"Little Nana, hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

Wang Yingna clenched her teeth.

Cold sweat poured down her forehead like rain.

Yet he still mustered his strength and nodded a few times.

While Li Jiaci held her and put her into the car, everyone was also drawn out by Zheng Degui's wailing.

Zhao Chen instantly understood what had happened.

He snatched up the dagger from the ground and was about to stab the other person to death.

Li Jiaci barked in a low voice: "Don't move, you bastards!"

"Brother, just let me kill him!"

Zhao Chen gripped the dagger tightly.

The furniture factory opened.

On this joyous occasion, Zheng Degui rushed out to kill someone; he didn't hurt Li Jiaci but instead injured Wang Yingna.

Wang Yingna is the treasure that Wang Zhen holds dear in his hands!

Therefore Zheng Degui deserves to die.

But the one who kills him cannot be Wang Zhen.

Rather, it should be us brothers.

This is what the host ought to do.

Li Yihu directly snatched away that dagger.

Fiercely, he charged toward Zheng Degui.

"What nonsense are you still spouting!"

"Just stab him to death with one blow!"
