Chapter 178: Brothers Turning Against Each Other

"What’s the use of knowing Sister Ling? Who knows if Sister Ling will make a move when the time comes? And you have to know, Sister Ling only cares about him, not us. In the end, won't we be the ones who are unlucky? Are we brothers just here to be his cannon fodder?" Huang Laohu said with indignation.

"Don't overthink it, maybe it’s not like that!" Wu Di sighed, but when he said this, he clearly lacked confidence; he wasn't particularly sure.

The next day at school, in the morning, I discovered that Third Brother had actually come to the classroom with Zhang Yinuo. Could there be something going on between these two? Third Brother hadn't come back yesterday; could they have been together last night? Although I was prepared to draw a line with Zhang Yinuo, seeing her with someone else suddenly made me feel quite uncomfortable, and the other person was my best brother. This was very hard for me to accept.

Seeing Third Brother sit next to me, I originally wanted to ask something, but in the end, I didn't speak. What would be the point of asking now? If it had already happened, asking would clearly be awkward. If it hadn't happened, and I went to confront him, in what capacity would I be confronting him?

Seeing me, Third Brother asked: "Old Four, come out with me for a moment!"

Seeing Third Brother suddenly looking for me, and wanting to go out and talk to me alone, I felt a bit nervous. I didn't know what Third Brother wanted to say to me. If he laid his cards on the table, how should I respond? A calm smile, or anger and rage? I didn't know.

However, I still followed Third Brother out. Third Brother and I walked to a deserted place outside the classroom. Third Brother looked at me with an unusual expression; there was clearly some anger in his eyes. He said to me: "Old Four, did you make some decision without authorization?"

I didn't know what Third Brother was referring to—was it the Zhang Yinuo matter or something else? I felt guilty and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I could only say: "Ah, what decision? I don't quite understand?"

"Don't play dumb with me. Are you going to take Huang Laohu and the others to deal with the Li family tonight?" Third Brother asked in a questioning tone.

I felt extremely uncomfortable with this tone of his, because he had never spoken to me like this before. However, I still answered him: "How did you find out about this?"

I guessed it might have been Huang Laohu who told Third Brother, but after all, this was my own business, and I didn't want too many people involved, so I didn't plan to bring Third Brother, Old Five, or Zhang Yinuo along.

"Don't worry about how I found out. Are you really going?" Third Brother glared at me aggressively.

I knew Third Brother had most likely already received news from Huang Laohu, and it was impossible to hide it, so I simply nodded.

Seeing me nod, Third Brother grabbed my collar and said angrily: "Are you crazy? Can you discuss things with us before making any decisions? You going to find the Li family now isn't that just looking for death? What do you think you have? What makes you think you can deal with the current Li family?"

"I’ve thought about it carefully, the winning rate is still quite high. Don't worry about this matter, I can handle it myself!" I said impatiently.

"You say you can handle it? How many times before have you said you could handle it? And then what? Yinuo ended up in the hospital because of you. Is this what you call being able to handle it? You have no ability, yet you want to drag others into your nonsense. No matter what, you can't go today. We still need to discuss this!" Third Brother pushed me and shouted angrily.

The anger in my heart was also ignited, and I shouted back at Third Brother: "I have no ability, I’m useless, and you’re useful? What right do you have to manage me? Don't think I don't know about the things you’ve done. I just didn't want to tear things apart with you. You should manage yourself!"

"What things? What have I done?" Third Brother was clearly feeling guilty.

"What are you two doing? What are you arguing about? It’s broad daylight, what can't be said when you get back? Do you have to argue at school?" I don't know when, but Old Five, Zhang Wu, had arrived. Seeing me and Third Brother arguing, he came over and blocked us in the middle.

"It’s not that I want to argue, it’s this guy who wants to argue with me!" I glared angrily at Xu Hongzhi.

"Screw you, do you really think you’re something? Everyone has to revolve around you? If it weren't for me and Yinuo, do you know how many times you would have died? You are ungrateful. If this continues, you’ll be finished sooner or later!" Xu Hongzhi cursed at me directly.

"Damn you, did I ask you to save me? Haven't I saved you before? Whether I’m finished or not has nothing to do with you. Get lost, you idiot!" At this moment, I also lost my reason due to Xu Hongzhi’s words and shouted.

"Stop arguing, you’re both brothers, what are you doing? Have you forgotten all the years we’ve been through life and death? You’re both here cursing in the street. If this continues, the brotherhood will be over!" Zhang Wu was anxious now and said to us excitedly.

"If it’s over, then it’s over. I don't have such an idiot brother!" Xu Hongzhi shouted in a rage.

Hearing Xu Hongzhi’s words, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart. My relationship with Xu Hongzhi used to be closer than that of real brothers; I didn't expect it to end up like this today.

I stared fixedly at Xu Hongzhi, trying my best to calm my mood, and then forced a smile and said: "Fine, if it’s over, then it’s over. I don't want to have an idiot brother like you either. Since that’s the case, let’s go our separate ways today!"

"Fourth Brother, are you crazy? Do you know what you’re saying? We are brothers!" Zhang Wu said to me, crying.

I held back my grief and didn't speak, while Xu Hongzhi snorted coldly at me: "I, Xu Hongzhi, am breaking off all ties with Yang Yun today. From now on, we go our separate ways!"

Zhang Wu quickly ran in front of Xu Hongzhi, crying and grabbing him: "Third Brother, are you crazy? That’s Fourth Brother! What are you saying? Are you both joking with me today? Yes, you must be joking! Joking!"

I looked at Zhang Wu, wanting to step forward and comfort him, but I couldn't take a step. I didn't know how to live the days ahead; my mood was very chaotic. I didn't want Zhang Wu to be involved in what was to come, so it was better to be alone; it was fine.

"Old Five, what are you still doing here? Why aren't you coming back with me!" Xu Hongzhi shouted at the crying Zhang Wu beside him.

"What about Fourth Brother? What about Fourth Brother?"

"That’s not your Fourth Brother anymore. You don't have a Fourth Brother anymore. Why don't you understand?" Xu Hongzhi said to Zhang Wu in a rage. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
