Chapter 25
Before long, someone pushed their way through the crowd, shoving Wei Qian aside. The newcomer appeared to be a medical personnel, who casually pressed on the scarred man’s carotid artery and checked his eyelids. After a few minutes, they stood up, their expression indifferent as they announced, “Take him away, he’s dead. This unlucky fellow overdosed on enhancers and died suddenly. Couldn’t fight and still wanted to step into the ring, serves him right.”EXeZDIGEZkhMXTMXNHAKMpzmpENrJJ

This statement ignited a wave of anger among the spectators. Those who had lost money moments ago began to accuse the organizers of rigged matches. Meanwhile, the next life-and-death struggle unfolded on the stage, while below, a brawl erupted, escalating rapidly.tMmZTzJWbIpTVbNlVMZvCGdPCtZcbE

Wei Qian narrowly avoided being hit by fists that nearly struck him as an innocent bystander. Silently, he slipped away, stepping out into the moist, sticky night air. He hurried across the street to a small convenience store selling tobacco, alcohol, tea, and sugar. He bought a pack of cigarettes, hastily tore it open, lit one, and took a drag.SOUcACGiTDmSUBYOilKlmtSRlrXzCj

An elderly person who had been about to enter the store glanced at him twice. Seeing his appearance, they seemed to think he wasn’t just smoking but using drugs. Startled, they hesitated and decided to take a detour instead.fEdlyibqcGTrHMeQAvPvZqcXXTbwsU

Throughout the ordeal, Wei Qian remained expressionless, his hands trembling with cold sweat.vazYwvnGoXDzxLEmSYMBiLUqwEzKRM

When he returned home, Wei Zhiyuan had already fallen asleep.lXHIcqPNSoVvfdwcSdXqXJvEsMduRB

It had been a long time since Wei Zhiyuan had smelled that suffocatingly strong scent of smoke. Half-awake, he opened his eyes and asked drowsily, “Are you smoking?”EtMRFqzlHzHTchMmQsbMwnusjfADst

Wei Qian softly replied, “Yeah, just this once. I’ll go take a shower. You go back to sleep.”xOMFXfYXkCmcTEfQNPFerXbidYobcp

Wei Zhiyuan didn’t say anything more. He didn’t mind Wei Qian smoking; in fact, he even had a fondness for the scent.DhTdaeCsUVsqSPkIPwqRyhARTePEwb

Zhao Laojiu had arranged a standard room for them, which was quite decent. The air conditioning was powerful, and the environment was clean. Most importantly, there were two beds. While at home, sharing a bed was unavoidable, but here, Wei Qian had no intention of compromising. After hastily freshening up, he lay down on the other bed.ASIlXNlyQynIdNWuhsRhMgCrgwxYFk

Wei Zhiyuan was now fully awake. He was surprised to find that his older brother wasn’t planning to sleep with him. After waiting for a while, he figured Wei Qian had fallen asleep. So, wearing his slippers, he quietly climbed into Wei Qian’s bed.UWTMvNzdkqdBtPEXmvEDDstXSlHaip

To his surprise, Wei Qian was also not asleep. As soon as he sensed movement, he opened his eyes.ScnURRtRDyQAZHlyKdjCWnkEXtctAp

Annoyed, Wei Qian gave Wei Zhiyuan’s back a light slap. “What do you want coming over here again?”EDQqTJsSsbmpERFvFEfvFYJsjbmsIX

Wei Zhiyuan didn’t say anything, just skillfully slipped under the covers with him.ItUdegXTMmkWbMOTaOaqcLcIcrHJKa

“Why are you acting like this? There are two beds, why do you have to squeeze in with me?” Wei Qian grumbled.DFCjIMOHDBfbrbYQiyNYuXcuVcwlSe

Wei Zhiyuan whispered, “I want to sleep with my brother.”acsSDNelosOEisPLzREDOBIIKpchEB

Wei Qian looked at him expressionlessly.kMKaPMGssKNInoQNEFhKiwFZVYJfwm

Wei Zhiyuan shrunk down, avoiding his gaze, and quietly wrapped his arm around one of Wei Qian’s. He was silently being clingy.RVaAiyioOiRGGxSIoOfyUvrbNuolXT

IJgGCFlMZiOOhSM

Wei Qian couldn’t help but smile wryly. This little guy was already eleven or twelve years old and yet he was still so attached. He had stuck to him all the way from home to the south, and now, far away from home, he still wanted to stick with him in bed… It was truly troublesome.kkqoHxzEmISBWgFQzoQxOMuQukxMaf

Wei Qian didn’t push him away and instead drifted off into other thoughts.wOyGwljHEFDrZVVufECfpwTmeMWTLv

vGGSOrbkjNDMHjo

The one thousand yuan Zhao Laojiu had given him was still in the pocket of his shirt, making him feel uneasy. Lying on his back, he felt a pain in his chest from the weight. Wei Qian pondered whether it was feasible to silently take off with the money and never return to this troublesome place.wyHioAJhovDOqbPxbKgimvgCvAOsXt

hBbvNyMhUMZanYf

But Zhao Laojiu’s words kept echoing in Wei Qian’s mind inevitably. He felt frustrated, realizing that Zhao Laojiu seemed to see right through him.BnRBLrwvdYNBnpGlHZXQrQtLUWnTPa

For someone to resort to illegal boxing for a few thousand yuan, it sounded like something only a person with a few screws loose in their head would do.LIFUSBEeGNrGAilkPsuCZApdQWjiDY

Rationally, Wei Qian agreed with this perspective. However, the piles of banknotes kept swirling relentlessly in his mind, refusing to leave.tmokroIzcKWjGqEqdJWeodJCMRUAqC

He couldn’t shake off this insane desire.jlbfPYMPupjQnnXKwFWVzjPXTstSiV

Suddenly, Wei Qian understood how some people who were constantly abused by their spouses, either mentally or physically, could still cry and refuse to divorce. They must be so deluded, so unable to let go, so blinded by what they thought was true love!ODALdbwShgdABmGOYLpEJVPUsbvWQY

Wei Qian thought self-deprecatingly, he dared not claim much, but his attachment to money definitely rivaled any form of twisted or obsessive love in the world.LyHxZrIyKfbnlzQZbjmipihxAHtJFs

OQLnOSmSWFJqboQ

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that money haunted his dreams and clouded his judgment, just like when he once contemplated whether to kill his mother with a small knife.lgZBIyAsseVIeBpRxSStWpxsQmolGo

zOSTRPCsHCctsFD

At that moment, Wei Zhiyuan spoke up.RuOsJBXKVXovdwoBWEHpGNIJCuSLLJ

“Brother, I want to tell you something,” Wei Zhiyuan said.ixEBqIVBASPPokEVIduSTaTrvIerKZ

“There’s a Sichuan restaurant downstairs. I talked to the owner, and I’ll start working for them. I’ll help with serving dishes and clearing tables, and the boss promised to pay me five yuan a day,” Wei Zhiyuan explained.gXDxveJKcIFQQFvOOJzhLpVCCKODUB

tFKilLcVuzTmABG

Wei Qian was taken aback. “What did you say?” he asked, snapping out of his thoughts.MDXDBvDmiBCOwrYAdAblxrCKKsgrVo

kpqQBqLGiqCwfck

Wei Zhiyuan continued, “They were hesitant at first because I’m young, afraid of someone checking on them. So, I told them I could pretend to be their son, helping out during the summer break. Brother, I saw their job ads and asked around. If they hire an adult, they’d have to pay at least ten yuan a day. As long as the boss isn’t foolish, he’ll definitely hire me.”MHmvKrDiKPLTYfTzXCIGnOGFlwLCFB

wQNhxFyAdkTIGRT

Wei Qian remained silent for a long while. Wei Zhiyuan, fearing his brother’s displeasure, hastily added, “I won’t cause you any trouble. I’ll leave at ten in the morning and come back in the evening.”zQALsKSRqDVjFHNpoHYuZhGokWCEbw

Wei Qian turned to him, embracing Wei Zhiyuan’s shoulder. “Is your brother so poor that he needs your five yuan?” he teased.GrWYnrjlKBucYkYiSpbAszZQokxriW

Wei Zhiyuan replied, “I can also earn money. I’m not a burden.”tQTgRbEpptAGWYAsulKIImknEiHSov

UVZUXCBrwpzIObC

The words “a burden” came out of Wei Zhiyuan’s mouth so lightly, almost swallowed back down his throat. Yet Wei Qian, being so close, heard them nonetheless.FhdGJfVGbqihyNZdOqjaxLZxHIGztC

othjODQRtGdlHla

Suddenly, a thought struck Wei Qian. He sensed the underlying meaning in Wei Zhiyuan’s words and felt a twinge of discomfort. After a while, he hesitantly asked, “Xiao Yuan, is your brother not treating you well?”SmJUWEIoHWrwMqhTSDPPCUCUkjtOPY

tBKSujCBgAEHKzg

Wei Zhiyuan froze, quickly shaking his head.kbdFnnddgTLozQyhHjLwPkalVCCnyA

Wei Qian raised his hand, patting Wei Zhiyuan’s head, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible. “You’re not a burden, Xiao Bao isn’t either. You’re still young. It’s only right for me to support you both.”SdhJAJFpqxmMGfvBcJAQyEBSHCWOkF

MhGJkWAGPCmlYMo

Wei Zhiyuan looked up at him, and Wei Qian somewhat roughly pushed his head back down. “When you two grow up, just remember to take care of me in my old age… Alright, go to sleep.”OamYHjbERGhQXLyUzirquGKPtzCMIx

FBQqDZgoAXwyuzE

With that said, miraculously, his mind cleared. He no longer pondered over whether to prioritize money or his life. Wei Qian decided; he would contact Zhao Lao Jiu tomorrow. He planned to take a week off to recuperate before returning to the ring.GbzdcWntSCUIaEQTLcvtswvpuFHZAN

If he really died?ldAfzNLcrqBTKppsClhUEdkaiTHUSt

He thought, if he died, then so be it.ovMsqhHUXnfzFibHrcpywblSizfjIp

irDVVLLNAkbRiYb

Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are bestowed by the heavens. He traveled all the way here to fight in the underground boxing scene, ultimately not for anyone else, but for himself to have a better future. He had to take a chance. There was nothing more to say, and nothing to blame. It was fair enough.lgLIqFoAzRzTPdOknaeoEhVpUBawSQ

LEoytHsqhNKxgwe

If Wei Zhiyuan knew that it was his words that pushed his brother into the ring, he would rather be mute.dAHqZXVoeVDZsiqTEuPmsavlxppLHj

TAZIJXUIwofLxWM

The first week passed very peacefully. Wei Zhiyuan didn’t know what his brother was busy with. Every morning, just like taking him to school, his brother would drop him off at the small restaurant. In the evening, he would pick him up on time. Someone would deliver their meals on time, sometimes even foreign food that Wei Zhiyuan had never tasted before. He felt as if they were on vacation.XdmMIAszrKQUKdQuIRgbyQuMEnhyfi

tCAWQsCPhMEXpjX

However, a week passed quickly, and that day, Wei Qian was late for the first time.TvBaQibgFkbhWzxxhOAaKhVxlTkNYG

kYedldloKmFiXqg

As the sky darkened, the restaurant became less crowded. Wei Zhiyuan no longer had to run back and forth to serve dishes. He sat on the small stool the boss had given him, almost staring at the door, alternating between looking at it and checking the time. He kept waiting until the sky was completely dark, and only then did someone lift the door curtain and enter. He first nodded politely to the restaurant owner before waving to Wei Zhiyuan.FIhExPYDYFZKDEeddcYMUSOsqKtzdQ

CMkXQhshhoOYNmm

Just as the landlady was about to slip five yuan into Wei Zhiyuan’s pocket, he eagerly rushed towards Wei Qian like a bullet. Every time he did this, his brother would catch him with one hand and lift him up, but this time, Wei Zhiyuan keenly felt his brother dodging.XQCqufmFUFPkrVpczQBOpRhJLPZBlR

AcJeIkQgSSYBHXT

In the split second he lunged forward, Wei Qian awkwardly bent down, only using his arm to catch Wei Zhiyuan and prevent him from moving forward. Then, he turned half his body, facing him sideways, and led him towards the hotel.bZTxUkoVNIWrrfNpiNQYjePJiPGLfk

Wei Zhiyuan’s smile instantly faded, and he furrowed his brows, asking, “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”kIauytiYfqZpiAoSgFSUdtGIKYbnWu

Wei Qian replied, “Nothing.”xVGQOqxFoeIbRnVleXVYBKNimLGIBf

Wei Zhiyuan leaned closer to him and wrinkled his nose, detecting a hint of blood on him. “Then why do you smell like blood?”WUkmFnBswVLycqBIJbUAJsZtQjFBkJ

Wei Qian lied without blinking an eye, “I ran into someone slaughtering a pig on the road, and got splashed with blood. It took me a lot of effort to clean it off.”HVAFtsZjMzjuQoMrcmuTlVRQDyLOzN

iLOXLuMMMjArTRa

Wei Zhiyuan felt his intelligence being insulted by such an insincere answer.gFEIeVvPCBvMsFjXUXCsHdQMkifsjV

However, Wei Qian calmly led him to a McDonald’s. This kind of junk food, which no one wanted to eat later on, used to be quite luxurious when it first entered the country. Its decor and packaging were colorful, and it smelled better than it tasted, making it highly attractive to children.ZJiVdkAhNDWBhkfOSUgvIleIyMqsTw

QtdYNMfotcfHDRJ

Just before closing time, Wei Qian went in and bought a children’s meal and an ice cream for Wei Zhiyuan.eIRPJIBcdcovtpubndjAoUIfzgoPTJ

“I’m warning you,” Wei Qian said, “Eat it here and now. Don’t tell your sister when we get back. She’ll be annoyed, got it?”WaOuBoOVovJeafpqXNHeIBpKQoSwCa

yxqgapkRajCMGEW

Wei Zhiyuan was torn between the instinctual attraction to the food and hidden worries. With conflicting emotions, he nodded with a deep sense of bitterness, holding the ice cream up to Wei Qian’s mouth. “Try it.”sPrZVjzovRriWxldlrCSJPeQnfcrQe

Wei Qian leaned back, a fleeting expression of pain crossing his face, and waved his hand to decline. “I’m full, not hungry.”fwiqcdqyqUjrhBEFgGdsDODPJFVCiG

Then, as if trying to make himself seem more believable, he added with a pretense of disdain, “These are meant for kids.”ADIhmwlaIEGotPlHYGlsmGMRgcgBsJ

Wei Zhiyuan, feeling somewhat regretful, withdrew his hand and cherished the expensive ice cream, licking it discreetly while secretly observing his brother.DYWTeLiUWVhqIAFeHBFljYDFkkImuF

In the faint light of the streetlamp, Wei Zhiyuan noticed that Wei Qian’s face was extremely pale, and sweat soaked a few strands of his hair, sticking to his forehead and temples, making him appear somewhat weary.mjrhisRJJulFwnxmJgdyIjrpNsdoex

bHVzZbtaWRjhpBx

Wei Qian’s brow was slightly furrowed, and he maintained this expression.dSZXDWsAcKmaYmIATJAAMknDCSFuNa

aiPvvEYJoThKIbv

Wei Qian could easily get along with strangers, despite his naturally introverted personality. The days of scraping by had honed him into someone who knew how to be smooth, but only with his family did his true cantankerous nature emerge without concealment.bFOUQJJMnBfpxNuxPbkpzyFwbQLnnW

HhPjoMJTBJlRtne

Wei Zhiyuan knew that his brother detested noise, especially their grandmother’s nagging. At home, Wei Qian had to maintain the dignity of an elder, so he avoided appearing too lively. He seldom laughed or praised anyone. Over time, Wei Zhiyuan learned to judge his brother’s mood based on his actions and subtle expressions.ouRnPUOKtJcbGipQbYCkGNoqACUAnP

xfqzthhwItiizHd

In his experience, when his brother had a neutral expression but relaxed body posture, he was likely in a pleasant mood.qotPNOilJVgjLQmScBtVmBQvRXLhIh

qNbwlMytgkInLIN

If his complexion was poor but he still grumbled, it meant he was unhappy, but the degree of displeasure was mild, easily forgotten.mNjthBXmgGUrPrsESfVPmjnfBzXWFI

ImxetTpSpOYGnvE

However, if his face darkened and his gaze sharpened, yet he remained silent, he was extremely angry.QRqaUEwRSmDhGavQDxWqBwKdafSURM

MWcLaziFsUWKEYn

He wouldn’t continuously furrow his brow unless he was physically uncomfortable, involuntarily expressing prolonged seriousness, actually indicating he was enduring pain.NGEznuwVwPRdpusJSYdkMxeORkFCjj

uXkxuHzuHGuIQpD

Wei Zhiyuan silently finished his meal and obediently allowed Wei Qian to send him off to bed. He kept his eyes closed the whole time—playing possum was a trick Wei Zhiyuan had mastered. When he was first taken in by his older brother, he always worried about being kicked out at night, so he dared not sleep deeply. Sometimes, when his nerves were too tense to fall asleep, he would pretend to be asleep.OneVsYhbuXjjdEHDfIyPdwumEBBsWd

tJwrMNBJCcqISgx

Sure enough, not long after, Wei Zhiyuan heard Wei Qian rustling about, sensing his brother’s movements were somewhat stiff, and his arm propped up on the bed was trembling slightly.LgPxLjyUgDUzwANdTEGZUEWNIkxWim

XoutckqMYkGdWse

Wei Zhiyuan discreetly opened his eyes just a slit, but Wei Qian seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around. Wei Zhiyuan quickly shut his eyes tight.VBmdTgEhSfncNiMoejIXhJNjPhJSSQ

Luckily, Wei Qian didn’t notice. He soon got up, retrieved some medicine from the bedside drawer, and headed to the bathroom.LvMsUhnpmxnvtkBwDAVUzBmOhlSVVi

meWVwxCHquYrdee

As soon as he took off his shirt, before he could apply the medicine, Wei Qian leaned over the toilet and vomited. However, there was nothing in his stomach, just acidic water. When his opponent landed a punch squarely on his stomach, it was solid, so much so that even when Wei Zhiyuan offered him ice cream, he couldn’t help but feel nauseous.IcagNZCDcAhPPssBDacYHdpclGlrET

SokYDIPPJoKyrhN

After a while, the nausea subsided, and Wei Qian could barely stand up straight. He lowered his head to check the toilet, making sure there was no sign of blood, before he breathed a sigh of relief.KSCKiUgEkSThtNVJlZJrUAPntJGTDL

Fortunately, it wasn’t serious.NDmAkMOUVqjaDQQDoRFSjMnvKIKxhx

Wei Qian leaned against the wall for a moment to rest before rinsing his mouth and starting to tend to his wounds.ROJBEoAJVslfJFjKlmevHWBinLvSNp

zsIUeiejnaVAZlA

His bare upper body was covered in terrible bruises, and there was a large purple hematoma on his hip bone, like a spider web. Wei Qian gritted his teeth, unbuckled his belt, and loosened his pants slightly. He then applied ointment to the hematoma and pressed down forcefully, aiming to disperse the blood clot. He needed to move his joints to prevent them from stiffening.QspKHkdJGqByJMycyrXUgbJngrEKPl

PTOoemCYYTadhre

Anyone who had experienced this kind of external injury knew that a large bruise at the joint made bending painful. If one remained still for too long, it could become even more difficult to move later on. So, while it hurt, it was crucial to move it while it was still possible.QZITuezAjHxyEqwLkGiSRPYICOoEYE

bATyFMTbMEAhTNa

The underground boxing arena was even more dangerous than he had imagined. In just the first match, at the lowest level, Wei Qian had struggled to win. But he had taken this step, and in his pocket were the three thousand yuan reward and prize money sent by Hu Sige’s men. He couldn’t back out now unless he completed the three matches as promised by Zhao Laojiu.dCMARzQalnVcQxbKdyngclZvhasuYM

VEtHTHQCnpCsXKz

However difficult it was, his style of fighting, though battered, was ultimately not fatal. Besides, Zhao Laojiu had only mentioned three matches, and winning wasn’t necessarily a requirement. If necessary, he could forfeit—but that was contingent on whether Hu Sige and Zhao Laojiu were willing to let him advance step by step and finish these three matches steadily.vlLErLQwQGmDZCkyBjApGvxsefHYaJ

OZerZAXAbwgPYQy

The man who had died at his feet that day remained etched in Wei Qian’s mind. In places like these underground boxing arenas, almost everyone used performance-enhancing drugs—it was an unwritten rule, and the arenas even facilitated their buying and selling. But anyone with common sense knew that abusing such substances could irreversibly harm the body, even leading to immediate death.PhTqNBMNqPJGzLPDFXGicrejRaETCt

yqCEzrnTTwQiXJt

The scarred man was obviously experienced; he couldn’t have been ignorant of these facts. And his opponent, with muscles that looked impressive but were likely inefficient, might not have had the explosive power or endurance to force the scarred man to resort to extreme measures with the drugs.heoxMCVLmdNWlYDGYWllGbMzljxMrA

RxaHGLmWpjkWury

Either someone was pressuring him, or… perhaps the drugs he had taken were not the common ones found on the market.yrxJnHIiMAQJELUKGHRFbOmWdBGxrE

bBCjJNJWYowXyOU

The pain stimulated Wei Qian’s brain, and as he rubbed the bruises on his body vigorously, his mind raced. Suddenly, he had a terrifying thought: What if Hu Sige was recruiting people like him, rootless and unreliable, not just to warm up the scene, but to… test drugs?podYZXCnynNiOQHAQAsUnUVqNpSRmV

JIYqBHhHfcWpaPp

Wei Qian was lost in thought, completely unaware that outside the bathroom door, Wei Zhiyuan had quietly slipped out of bed and was cautiously peeking inside through the crack in the door. His eyes were red, resembling an enraged little beast. He gritted his teeth and endured, feeling like he might grind his teeth to pieces.TbmDcMNBEwdtlWLWuqCxSCmscxOMTK

qNkFicNoaDYaNKJ

After what felt like an eternity, Wei Qian set down the box of ointment, leaned on the sink with both hands, and let out a soft sigh. He then cupped some cold water and washed away the cold sweat from his face.HCpXFpHwkUkUZzDJMVanfkclsJsIuR

JRnLSnAPXlXWIOv

Only then did Wei Zhiyuan snap out of his daze and quietly slip away, returning to bed.pHpukjYltxAoGJPTnNrOuFtrigornO

tTpIIEcpvFOPhkP

He hadn’t been lying down for long when Wei Qian emerged, enveloped in a chill mist of water vapor and medicinal scent. However, it seemed he had remembered something about his sharp-nosed little brother. After hesitating for a moment, Wei Qian bent down to tuck Wei Zhiyuan in, then turned and headed towards the other bed.yGfjyLKmvydUlgvlTCoJgyjUssDsJk

Wei Zhiyuan couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke up hoarsely, startling Wei Qian.SWzLkHRyreXMyMiAaptiOHtMpXtdBU

Then, unexpectedly, the boy’s voice cracked with emotion as he said, “If you’re short on money, you can sell me.”HnUtmqdmnoFZQctBQmQQVlAxoaanIy

Wei Zhiyuan didn’t actually mean what he said; he himself wasn’t sure why those words slipped out of his mouth.XjLPfYtjXyCPzIZZqdWKelSmGcDHdt

Perhaps… it was because he felt utterly powerless and devoid of options.rAJCsTDgGrfRpYkCnXIWgOUjIoVQNZ
