REDPEAFOWL, Chapter 24: The Last Enemy
Ten days. After the doctor allowed Lu Yipeng to go home to continue resting, before leaving, he visited Duan Feng who had moved out of the ICU to an isolation room, as there were concerns about infection in the burn wound.
Seeing the person who walked in was him, Duan Feng immediately spoke up, “Inspector, are you leaving the hospital today, right?”
“Yes.” Lu Yipeng nodded, looking at his colleague who still had bandages all over his body. Duan Feng noticed and spoke again, “Why are you making that face? The nurses just changed my bandages, and now I feel much better. The pain I used to have is almost gone.”
Lu Yipeng looked at Duan Feng again. He knew that the burn wound of this police officer was at a second-degree level, where the skin was not completely destroyed, but the pain did not need to be described, as the skin has many nerve endings. Seeing Duan Feng still talking to him with a lively tone like this, Lu Yipeng couldn’t help but admire him.
When Duan Feng saw the other person still standing, he asked, “Inspector, you didn’t come to just stand and watch me play dead, right? Is that correct? … The inspector is going to go deal with the person who planted the bomb in our car, right?”
In addition to the investigative team, Lu Yipeng had not yet revealed this plan to anyone, but the case of the Hong family, and the matter that Hong Sujue might be the one who planted the car bomb. He briefly told Duan Feng, and it seemed that this police officer could see through his thoughts.
“Be careful, Inspector. I know you’re good, but you don’t look tough like a car hood.”
Lu Yipeng chuckled, “I won’t go to let him toss me around.”
Duan Feng turned to him earnestly, “Inspector, I’m waiting for you to take me back to work because… When I undergo physical therapy, inspector, you must come and see it. You must see my new face.”
Lu Yipeng pursed his lips, finally managing to crack a smile, “Um… I’ll visit you for sure then.”
…
After finishing talking to Duan Feng, Lu Yipeng changed his clothes and got into the car with three other police officers to follow. His plan was to go back home and leave a team of two police officers to guard the house. Then they would rotate shifts to catch Hong Sujue at the right time. Then…
The four police officers drove along the highway, turning onto a bypass road away from the city. They noticed a forklift following them.
“Is there a broken down vehicle around here?” The driver of the police car observed, “I didn’t hear any radio reports.”
“Maybe they were called to tow a car to the garage. There’s a car repair shop around here. Let’s hurry up. Drive fast.” Another police officer spoke. The driver decided to drive closer to the left to let the folk lift pass and drive at the front.
“They are really hurrying up, I’ve never seen a forklift drive this fast before.” Another police officer furrowed his brow at Lu Yipeng, “Why rush so much to get a fork list to the garage?”
“I don’t know.” one of them replied, but before he could say anything, the driver of the police car suddenly exclaimed, “Hey!!”
Then they heard a loud screeching noise, and Lu Yipeng’s face was almost smashed into the seat. Thankfully, there was a safety belt that helped hold him in place. The sound of metal grinding against each other followed shortly after.
Then the airbags installed in the front automatically deployed.
“What’s going on!?” Lu Yipeng shouted as soon as he regained his composure. The police officer sitting in the driver’s seat grunted as he had an airbag supporting his neck, “The car, the fork lift stopped suddenly.”
Before anyone could make any comments, another loud noise of heavy metal crashing into the car was heard. Then the car was lifted up.
“Oh my God!!” Lu Yipeng exclaimed as the car was lifted almost to the point of standing on its rear. All four police officers tried to grab onto something to prevent themselves from losing their balance. They could clearly see the yellow crane of the lifting truck through the front windshield. The loud clinking of metal colliding and the sound of the small wheels spinning on the crane could
be heard distinctly. Then the forklift car started running again, dragging all four of the police officers inside as it ascended to about sixty degrees.
“This is insane. Radio to the center for backup fast.” The police officer sitting next to Lu Yipeng yelled. The problem was that the front airbags were still inflated, forcing the two other police officers to grab onto something. The radio fell off due to the strong gravitational force, and Lu Yipeng reached out to try to grab it, but he soon felt as if the car in front swerved suddenly. Their car was being dragged violently to the side, and the screeching noise of metal grinding got louder. Then they felt as if they were tumbling inside a washing machine.
The car Lu Yipeng was riding in rolled and tumbled, hitting the side road barrier hard before coming to a complete stop. Smoke from the damaged car’s radiator billowed up immediately.
Lu Yipeng felt as if he had lost consciousness in an instant. After the car came to a stop, the young police officer turned to look at the police officer immediately. The police officer had blood all over his face. It was unclear whether he had passed out or lost his life. Before Lu Yipeng could reach out to touch the police officer’s pulse, he heard the police officer sitting in the front seat moaning.
“What the fuck… Oh… my leg…”
“Stay calm.” Lu Yipeng said, feeling tears welling up in one eye. As he raised his hand to stroke the officer’s leg, he found his hand covered in a significant amount of blood.
“I will call the center. We need to call an ambulance.” Lu Yipeng said, and tried to find a phone. In his pants pocket, the sound of metal colliding rang out again. Before the car could be lifted, Lu Yipeng thought he might have a broken neck. When the car crashed onto the ground, he was not able to regain his composure in time. Right next to the car door, which had a shattered window, there was a handle attached to a piece of metal. Then the door was pulled out, and someone’s hand immediately reached out to pull him out.
Since meeting Hong Kongque, Lu Yipeng had been grabbed by the neck several times, each time as heavy and violent as being squeezed by pliers, but this time he felt even more so, as if a whole car was on top of him.
The young police officer, with the strongest hands he had ever encountered, felt pulled him out of the car wreckage. Then he threw him to the ground. Lu Yipeng tried to get up, and that hand reached out to grab his neck again. The sigh of relief of the young police officer disappeared immediately.
Lu Yipeng widened his eyes almost to the point of popping out because of the pressure. Right in front of him was a man about fifty-sixty years old, with a wound in the middle of his forehead. His dark, piercing eyes stared at him as if wanting to kill him.
Hong Sujue!!!
…
Hong Kongque was boxing. As Li Kong walked in, the elderly butler was standing in front of the door with a mobile phone in hand, but had not yet spoken. Suddenly, the boss turned around.
“Did he call?” Li Kong looked at his boss’s face before nodding slowly. His usually steady hand seemed to shake immediately. As he held the phone, he handed it to Hong Kongque’s ear.
“Hello…”
The phone call came from Lu Yipeng’s number, but the voice on the other end had changed, “Hello… Paijue, I am really glad to hear your voice again.”
Hong Kongque’s eyes hardened into a statue immediately, “Your voice sounds much more desperate than before.”
“Um… but your voice is still the same. I’ve been thinking of you all this time.”
“…”
“Paijue, for over thirty years. Even though you may have hurt me, I am proud of your fame and reputation as Hong Kongque. Whenever I hear your name, it always reminds me of your back, “
“Where have you been for over thirty years?”
“I have been in Hong Kong, but you probably didn’t know that I have been watching you all along. You have really improved yourself over the past thirty years. I haven’t had the opportunity to meet you face to face, but you have grown bolder and more mature over time. I am really proud of you, little brother.”
Hong Kongque’s eyes displayed a hint of arrogance, “You stop your nonsense and get to the point. This matter had been going on for over thirty years, so don’t call me with trivial matters like this.”
The other person chuckled, “You are really impatient. Can’t you talk to me for a while, or are you worried about the owner of the phone?”
“To be honest, I don’t want to talk to you for a second.” Hong Kongque replied, “How is my person doing?”
“Still alive.” The other person replied before continuing, “And how about your person? You call the police your person? You are really fond of him. Even if I cut him off and drag his intestines out, would you still care about him?”
“Heiying!!” Hong Kongque’s voice exclaimed loudly, making the other person silent before responding, “It’s not right for you to be so in love with him, right? Do you still have a heart to love someone else?”
“Keep your mouth shut.” Hong Kongque said, “Let me talk to him for a bit.”
“It seems like you won’t listen. This is enough to damage my eardrums already.”
“…” Hong Kongque fell silent for a moment, then spoke up again, “If you don’t let me talk to him, don’t expect me to do as you say.”
“Oh… Is there another negotiation now?” The other side replied, “And if I let him talk to you, will you do as I say?”
“If all you want is to capture and kill him to vent your anger, forget it. I have other things to do.”
“Do you have a heart of steel, seeing him die like that?”
“I know you know my personality… Alright. I will hang up the call and you can do whatever you want with him, kill him, or spare him.”
At the end of the line, a chuckle came out, “I like you just the way you are, you have a really tough heart.”
As he finished speaking, he heard a sound like someone pouring water, before hearing a cough. Then, he heard a louder, more urgent sound, “Say something, let him know that you’re not dead yet.”
Hong Kongque’s heart raced in his chest. He remained silent, waiting for a response, as time passed…
“Kongque…”
A warm feeling surged up in Hong Kongque’s heart immediately upon hearing the voice, “Pengpeng, are you still okay?”
The other end of the line was silent for a moment before responding, “I think so.”
“Good… If not, I will have to tell him to kill you.”
“…”
Then the urgent voice chimed in, “Are you satisfied?”
“Where are you, brother?” Hong Kongque asked back, “I will come get that person back.”
“On the boat.” The other person replied, “I’m angry that you are coming because of this guy, but I want to see you, so we recall the past. I’m on the boat…” Then he described the color and features of the ship, “Come alone, little
Paijue, because I want to see only you.”
“I understand.” Hong Kongque replied. He then continued, “Have Inspector-
Lu hold the phone and talk to me.”
“If you do not hear his voice, will you die?” The other person reiterated, mimicking Hong Kongque’s voice, “No, I’m afraid of being boiled by my brother. When I arrive, he won’t have all his body parts complete. Then I will be coming there for nothing.”
He heard the other person chuckle loudly, “You really worry about him. Alright, I indulge you in everything, I will let him talk to you on the phone soon. Hurry up and come back, I’m waiting.”
The phone went silent once again. Then the voice of Lu Yipeng became louder, “Kongque, what do you think?”
“Pengpeng, can you make sense of anything to interpret for me?” The otherperson asked, continuing, “I’ll go find her and have her interpret for me. I want to make sure you are still breathing by the time I arrive.”
“Um… I want to eat snow fish at your house.” Lu Yipeng said as Hong Kongque chuckled and walked to change his shirt.
“Alright, I’ll have Li Kong prepare it after we finish this task.”
“I want to go sightseeing at your mansion.” Lu Yipeng added.
“Um… I’ll have Little Zhi accompany you for the tour.” Hong Kongque replied.
“I want to go swimming at your house.” Lu Yipeng continued.
“Um…”
“I want to soak in the bathtub at your house.”
“Pengpeng.” Hong Kongque called the other-person’s name, “If he pressures you or cuts something off, it’s because of the way you talk. I guess at this point he’s probably looking at you as if he wants to kill you, right?”
“You guessed it right.” The other-person responded, “But I don’t know what to say to you right now.”
“There’s no doubt about that during this time.”
“I just left the hospital, where there’s nothing but this case.” Lu Yipeng spoke up after a brief silence, “Oh.. my head is split, but the wound seems to have closed.”
Hong Kongque’s sigh followed, “I think the hospital might not be willing to treat you anymore.” He said before taking the shirt from the homeowner to put on.
“Kongque.” Li Kong called out as the boss stepped outside. Hong Kongque turned around to look.
“Let me go with you, please.”
Hong Kongque looked at the elderly, gray-haired face for a moment, then smiled, “Don’t worry, if the head of the house has left, who will take care of things here for me…”
Li Kong pursed his dry lips into a straight line, “Kongque…”
The person being called walked closer to him before speaking, “Please help me one more time please…”
…
“Pengpeng, speak a little louder. I’m on the deck, the machine is loud.” Hong Kongque spoke after jumping onto the boat and starting the engine.
“Oh… I thought you would ride the Jet Ski again.” Lu Yipeng’s voice responded loudly. Hong Kongque retorted, “Don’t act cute. Just because you’re close to the shore doesn’t mean you’re safe. And I don’t want to get wet in this cold weather.”
“Uh.. um…” After a pause, Lu Yipeng continued, “Kongque. Does talking about something make you feel warmer?”
“Is the situation not warm enough for you?” The other person interjected. Lu Yipeng chuckled before responding with a shaky voice, “Um… I don’t think it’s warm enough yet…”
Hong Kongque frowned, “Pengpeng, what’s with your voice?”
“Um… uh… um… well… I’m wet, and… the wind is really strong here, that’s why.”
“?!!”
“Kongque… are you feeling warm?”
“Pengpeng.” Hong Kongque called his name again, “Stop flapping your mouth and causing trouble for yourself. Say something that won’t annoy him…”
The other person chuckled nervously, “Well… I think… anything I do annoys him already… Kongque, about kungfu… is getting old making you more skilled?”
“It depends on the person.” Hong Kongque spoke before explaining further, “But he is at a genius level. Let me guess, he knocked you out before you even had a chance to look at him.”
“He… he brought a forklift.”
“?!”
“I believe he’s crazy.”
“Um… but I think you’re just as crazy as him. Is that a big ship?”
“It’s huge.” The other person replied, “I don’t know if it’s as big as it was thirty years ago, but it’s a really big ship. I don’t see anyone except for him, but
I can’t be sure, because he might be hiding.”
“Um…” Hong Kong nodded as he accelerated the speedboat, rushing out onto the water bathed in the golden sunlight of the late afternoon.
…
The childhood of Hong Sujue. He never called anyone “mom” even once in his life.
His mother passed away on the day he was born, and his father refused to remarry, choosing to raise his son himself.
Hong Suque grew up as the only son of the Hong family. Aside from his mother, he had everything. His father provided lessons in management and discipline from a young age, setting the goal that his only son would grow up to be an outstanding leader in the family. And Hong Sujue excelled in every aspect.
His childhood was better than that of other kids in every way, but his heart seemed to have a hidden knot, a desire for someone to be close to him, someone to play with, someone to stay near him. Without orders, complaints, or demands.
And one day, when he was about eight years old, his father brought a boy to the house, saying that this was his younger brother. The boy was about three years old, with fair, delicate skin. His pitch-black hair was smooth, and his large, round eyes sparkled like little fawns. When he smiled, it seemed like the whole world had nothing but freshness. When the boy called him “big brother.” The emptiness in Hong Sujue’s mind seemed to fill up and overflow.
Hong Paijue
Hong Sujue devoted everything he could at that moment to his younger brother. The little brother who was so adorable.
Since having a younger brother, his life became colorful. He was happiest when he heard the voice calling him “big brother.” He almost didn’t want to let go of the little hand he was holding.
His little brother is cuter than anything else in the world. But the stepfather didn’t let him stay with the little brother he loves all the time. He separates them. The little brother has to sleep in a small room while their stepfather secretly goes to sleep, Hong Sujue will go watch him, looking at the little brother’s face as he sleeps, cute and innocent.
As they grew older, he tried to please his little brother in every way. Whatever he wanted, as long as he said it, he would try to find a way to get it for his little brother. Even if it meant being scolded. He would still agree.
He loved that smile on his face the most.
One day, Hong Paijue told him that he wanted the moon. He even tried to find a way to bring it down. When he couldn’t, he found a way to take his little brother up instead. It wasn’t until later that he realized he almost lost his little brother forever.
Even so, their Hong Sujue still tried to win the heart of his little brother, until finally, their father ordered him to study abroad.
Being separated from his beloved little brother for many years caused him more distress than he had ever experienced before. Hong Sujue thought of various things, afraid that someone would come and take his little brother’s love away from him. He didn’t know if his little brother thought of him anymore. Finally, he had to write letters requesting updates and pictures of Hong Paijue to help ease his longing.
But as the days went on, the photos of his little brother sent to him became too adorable to handle. Even though they were black and white photos, Hong Sujue could almost see how white his skin was and how red his lips were. It was as if he could hear his little brother talking to him through the photos.
He couldn’t think of anything else in this world that was cuter than this. Hong
Sujue don’t care about anyone else, only being infatuated with his little brother’s photos for years, until they finally met again.
Hong Sujue eventually realized. He was so in love with his little brother that he couldn’t control himself anymore. It was the first time he made Hong Paijue cry like a madman. It was the first time his little brother said he hated him, but Hong Sujue couldn’t control himself anymore.
He wanted everything, everything from this little brother. Whether it was a smile, tears, a chuckle, a curse, everything. He just wanted those eyes to look at him alone.
He fell in love with every single part. Hong Paijue made him fall in love over and over again. Sometimes it was like ambrosia soothing his heart, and sometimes it was like a venom eating away at his heart.
Even though Hong Paijue hated him so much that he wanted to kill him and get rid of him once and for all, the inexplicable attraction and infatuation for him remained unchanged.
He waited, patiently waiting for the moment he would have Hong Paijue back again.
This time, he wouldn’t let anyone take his younger brother away from him again.
…
Lu Yipeng had never seen eyes as terrifying as these before. And that’s saying something. He had been working for five years. He had encountered gruesome murderers, mentally ill patients, and even the legendary Hong Kongque with eyes as deep as a raging river. But none of them had given him the icy chill in his heart like this one.
The eyes staring back at him were calm, but at the same time, they exuded the utmost pressure. If this was the eyes of a madman, Lu Yipeng thought he was facing someone crazier than any lunatic he had come across before.
“Are you really Hong Sujue?” The young police officer asked, still holding onto his phone, which was pressed to his ear. The man in his fifties, nearing sixty, looked at him for a moment before smiling, “Um… yeah, but I used to be called that.”
Lu Yipeng swallowed nervously. Time had taken a toll on his physical appearance since the photo was taken over thirty years ago, but some aspects of his personality still lingered, just as the way people look at things.
“Why did you have to plant a bomb in my car?” Lu Yipeng asked.
“Do you know…” Hong Sujue said calmly, walking closer, “If you’re not my brother’s favorite, I’ll blow you up and scatter you into pieces, burn you to ashes, and then throw you into the trash.”
Lu Yipeng shuddered as the other person continued speaking to him, “You’re just a newborn baby, just a few days old, but by chance, you were lucky enough to hug my cute little brother. And he has fallen deeply for you as well. Do you know that for over thirty years now, he has never fallen for anyone else? What have you done to him?!!”
The strong hand, like a pair of steel clamps, reached out to choke him once again, “What have you taken from him? Has he ever let you touch him? But you’ve been going in and out of his house so often. Have you ever touched him?
You must be punished, should be ripped off finger by finger.”
The young police officer tried to take a deep breath while the other person stared at him with piercing eyes, “If it wasn’t for the fact that you are my younger brother’s favorite toy. I would have killed you already, but don’t worry, I guarantee that no matter what, you won’t survive for sure. I just want to see him happy when he sees you complete and perfect. Then…”
The pressure on his fingers tightened gradually, until Lu Yipeng thought he was running out of breath and dying.
“I will kill you. He will see you die in front of his eyes.”
“Oh… the lunatic.” Lu Yipeng coughed out a word, his face turning so red that it was almost green, looking in that direction before chuckling, “Go ahead and curse me, soon you’ll be able to rest forever.”
Just then, the voice of someone else interjected.
“Heiying, you can let him go now.”
…
The tall man in a dark red coat billowed in the wind looked as if bathed in the sunshine exhibited like a painting washed in sharp light, his face calm and beautiful as he stared straight at the heads of the two men standing side by side. One was his past, which was more than his personal hell. The other was his present, who was about to escape from him completely.
Lu Yipeng was tied up with a small iron crane located at the bow. Seeing it,
Hong Kongque couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “Pengpeng, you are really in trouble.”
Lu Yipeng didn’t immediately respond, but just coughed and tried to breathe in the sigh. Even though he only let out a sound, “Um. I know.”
Hong Kongque continued to stare at the figure of the young man hanging tied up before speaking calmly, “Give me back my man.”
Speaking without looking at him, but the tied man still spoke with a clear tone of joy, “Little Paijue… I’m glad to see you again… You haven’t changed at all.”
Hong Kongque’s face hardened into a statue, “Is that so, but I think you’re the one who not looking good.”
The tied man chuckled, “You don’t even turn to look at me, and how do you know that I look bad?”
Hong Kongque frowned as he looked at the person speaking for the first time. The man in front of him was an old man, nearly sixty years old. His hair was black with streaks of gray, almost changing the color of his head. On his face were scars from gunshot wounds, as well as deep wrinkles from time passing. The once magnificent beard resembling an oriental eagle bird was now gone, leaving only a few strands of gray hair. A frail old bird… an old bird who had risen from hell.
Hong Kongque stared directly into the eyes of that pair, facing the fear of his past. Both of them remained silent for a long while. Finally, it was the old man who spoke up.
“You have grown up so much.”
“You are also old, and should be put in a coffin.” Hong Kongque replied,
“How did you survive?”
“You shot my face.” The man said, “It must have been lucky for me that the grazed hit me in the right place at the right time as I was falling on my back.
Fate must have paired us together.”
Hong Kongque glared at the other person with disgust and hatred, and received a chuckle in response.
“What’s about this kid? You love him so much, don’t you?”
Before Hong Kongque could say anything, the machinery started working loudly. Then the crane began to lift Lu Yipeng immediately.
“What are you doing!!?!” Hong Kongque exclaimed as he rushed to the crane which was slowly lifting the young police officer’s body. Then he turned his head towards the front of the ship.
“What do you think, Little Paijue. If he goes under the ship like this. Will he survive?” Hong Sujue asked, smiling. Hong Kongque’s eyes widened immediately.
Lu Yipeng bent down to look at the splashing water below, dispersed by crashing into the ship’s hull, before shouting back, “Kongque, like this, I won’t die.”
“Shut up, you imbecile!” Hong Kongque replied, turning to face Hong Sujue,
“Bring that crane back right now.”
Hong Sujue spoke with a smile, “Remote control is in my hands. Want to try and snatch it away?”
Without wasting any more time, Hong Kongque immediately lunged towards the other person.
…
Lu Yipeng has been watching closely all this time. He always thought that
Hong Kongque’s kungfu was unmatched in the world and no one else could move as swiftly, nor endure the punches the rained as fiercely as that of a wild elephant.
But what he is seeing now is an old man in his fifties or sixties.
Standing while blocking those fists and feet while remaining as steady as a rock, sometimes extending his hand as if he was playing with a child.
What in the world is going on here!!!!
Lu Yipeng knows better than anyone else how strong each of Hong
Kongque’s kungfu techniques is, but that man, that man of twisted mind, bears it with a normal, unaffected expression as if he doesn’t feel anything. The young police officer’s hairs stand on end immediately.
Or maybe he’s miscalculated!!!!
Lu Yipeng turned to look at the sun about to set in the water and then turned back to the intimidating fight that lay ahead.
Hoping that everything will be on time.
…
Hong Kongque has felt the sweat oozing from the depths of his heart for quite some time, truly, no one has been able to match him for so long… Yes, after the incident on the luxury ship that day. Apart from Tian San. No one had been able to match him in fighting for more than ten rounds…
The evil that he thought he had already slain thirty years ago is appearing right in front of him, and may be even stronger than before.
How good is Heiying? Hong Kongque knows best.
Thirty years ago. If it weren’t for Li Kong’s help. He wouldn’t have had the wit to shoot this man in the face. Today. He is back facing his hellish past once again alone. Only a crazy inspector who is both stubborn and foolish chained there at bay.
But in thirty years Heiying has changed. He himself has changed too.
Hong Kongque inhaled deeply. Thirty years ago. Even though he believed that Heiying had truly died back then, the defeat he suffered made him craft a new boxing rhythm, a rhythm that he had written to fight against the man more monstrous than a demon from hell for thirty years. He practiced regularly, hoping that one day he might find a worthy opponent.
The way of heaven has arranged for this evil man to come back and test himself again. In the same situation, facing the same opponent. In the time that has passed
Left foot firmly planted on the ground, shifting the right foot to increase power, slightly twisting the body downwards, an unusual stance with a determined look from an angle that seems unlikely to be attacked the most.
!!!!
Heiying paused, his powerful and strong body leaned back half a step, just enough to give him an opening to attack. Hong Kongque dove with all his might, hoping to end this evil scene once and for all.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
The force of the collision was something like being hit by a truck, sending the body in the red coat flying and crashing into the wall of the ship’s passenger cabin. Hong Kongque struggled to get up with his legs on the ground, before falling back down heavily, before spewing out a large amount of blood.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The smell of blood filled the air, reaching every corner of Hong Kongque’s mouth, his face lifted to see a figure approaching like a bad dream, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Not bad at all, Little Paijue. Over thirty years have passed, you have improved a lot. I am proud of you.” He spoke, extending his hand to grab the grimacing face, Hong Kongque raised his hand to push it away immediately.
Hong Sujue looked at him, then exhaled.
“Little Paijue, I forgot to tell you one more thing, that rope, actually, it won’t hold him for long.”
“!!!!!!” Hong Kongque turned his face to look at the crane immediately, Lu Yipeng was still hanging there, but the rope tied above was starting to break apart, and, with the sky darkening
“What will you do, Paijue…”
Hong Kongque swallowed his saliva, pressed his lips tightly, before taking off his coat. Then he unbuttoned the coat one by one
…
Lu Yipeng did not want to believe his eyes when he saw Hong Kongque using a fierce Muay Thai stance to fight Heiying. He thought it would definitely be over, but everything took a different turn. The man who survived from a gunshot in the past was so strong that Lu Yipeng began to doubt if he was still the same person.
The image of Hong Kongque hitting the ship’s wall until blood splattered was nowhere near as heartbreaking as what he was currently witnessing.
Fair, delicate skin appeared under the bright light of the last day. White as snow. Even though Lu Yipeng had only touched it a few times, he remembered those feelings well.
Now, on that clean white surface, one old hand was slowly sliding down sensually. The palm touched the face and rubbed down the neck, leaving a mark that turned red. While Hong Kongque embraced him, his eyebrows furrowed, his lips clenched, his eyes closed as if he didn’t want to face what was in front of him.
Lu Yipeng widened his eyes as if they were about to tear apart. His head pulsated as if it was about to explode. The rope binding him to the top mast swayed down continuously.
You madman!!! You madman!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
Hong Kongque had been through all kinds of hell. Always confronting others face to face was nothing new in his life. In the time when he was still under the authority of Hong Sujue, they would come out and have sex on the dining table while the people in the house hid in the room with shame. Hong Kongque never cared. Even though he managed to escape from Heiying’s control, he never turned back to these matters once, with the power he had. No matter what he did. No one dared to challenge him for sure.
But this time, Hong Kongque did not dare to look up for fear of seeing the face of the person hanging on a crane. No matter how Lu Yipeng’s expression may be, Hong Kongque did not want to see it, even a little. He just raised his hand to touch the body of Hong Sujue, waiting for the perfect moment to play the game.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound of the rope breaking, and the sound of the top mast creaking made Hong Kongque immediately snap his eyes open.
Don’t tell me !?!?
Automatic reaction responses Hong Kongque twisted out of the clutch, and retorted immediately, but it was certainly not in time, but Heiying was no longer the forgetful Heiying as before, so such reactions were immediately responded to!!
Suddenly, Hong Sujue lost his rhythm Kongque took this opportunity to quickly get into action. Both hands and feet went in without waiting for the other person to prepare. Hong Sujue retreated dozens of steps, one after another. Then, before Hong Kongque could recover, he quickly threw a punch. Someone quickly reached out to cut in front of his face!!
Lu Yipeng kicked Hong Sujue even though both his hands were tied together. Perhaps because of the unexpected tightness of his hands being tied together, the force of the kick he sent out was uniformly strong, coupled with the other person already being off guard. Hong Sujue was pushed back and flew back immediately, with Hong Kongque stunned for a moment.
“Put on your clothes quickly.” Lu Yipeng turned to speak, with a shocked expression as if he had seen his own daughter changing clothes in front of someone else. Hong Kongque looked at him and finally burst out laughing, “I’m not a girl, you know.”
Lu Yipeng did not laugh. He spoke with a serious expression, “Kongque, I won’t let him touch you again.”
Hong Kongque looked at Lu Yipeng as if he had seen a ghost before sighing and speaking, “Inspector, save yourself first, and then how did you get here?”
“I swung myself into the boat and the rope just broke.” The other person replied with the most serious expression. Hong Kongque looked at him in shock before speaking, “Hey inspector, you are both crazy and stupid.”
After finishing speaking, he pushed Lu Yipeng out. At that moment, the young police commander realized that Hong Sujue had rushed in, and Hong Kongque turned to greet his adoptive elder brother, with a bare torso and a redwinged peafowl moving in tune with the beat of the shoulder.
The last light of the setting sun disappeared from the edge of the sky
Lu Yipeng had to leave Hong Kongque to deal with Heiying in his own way, and then ran straight to the control room of the ship to turn on some lights.
It’s time!!
…
Hong Kongque didn’t know where Lu Yipeng’s good fortune came from. He even managed to swing onto the boat. Even though the rope holding his hands didn’t break beforehand, that wasn’t a big problem. Now he was sure that the kid would probably be safe. So, with nothing to worry about, he fought back even harder.
As the darkness crept in and covered the sky, Hong Kongque and Heiying continued to fight in the darkness. Relying solely on instinct, each person lunged and parried at each other fiercely, with each hand and foot striking or kicking back. The intensity of the fight pushed them to the edge, with even the iron railing that separated the boat being pushed so much it began to warp.
In the midst of the fierce battle, both sides began to sigh heavily.
Hong Kongque felt internal pain from being hit so hard that he was spitting blood just now, but Heiying didn’t have it any easier. The blows he received from Hong Kongque first, and then from Lu Yipeng in the second blow, combined with the continuous and relentless fight, caused his strength to diminish significantly. Nevertheless, both of them still stared fiercely at the other person in the darkness, as if rewinding the clock back more than three years ago.
Meanwhile, the lights on the boat flickered and gradually lit up one by one.
Lu Yipeng ran up from the control room of the boat, just in time to witness the intense battle between both parties once again. It was an intense battle that was so fierce and devastating that he couldn’t find an opportunity to intervene. The young police officer stood on guard nervously, waiting for the right moment to intervene…
The beads of sweat dripped and seeped on the skin. Despite the cool breeze outside, the atmosphere was still scorching. In the flashing lights, half of Hong
Kongque’s face was bathed in deep darkness, just like half of Heiying’s face that was only half illuminated. Their eyes still locked on each other, unrelenting… both parties understood better than anyone else what the other person wanted.
Ever since being brought from the orphanage, Hong Kongque had learned a new word in his life. That word is father, and an elder brother. An older brother who had been away for five years, but loved and looked out for him just like a real younger brother.
He was such a lucky orphan, what else could he ask for?
Once, Hong Kongque thought that he would never leave his brother, he would grow and help take care of the family business, serving tea at his brother’s wedding, taking care of the grandchildren, and always accompanying the person to go everywhere, but all of that was just a foolish dream.
Everything fell apart, the person he loved and respected the most turned into the person he despised the most. Even not wanting to be in the same world anymore, the hatred and resentment overwhelmed his mind with anger and revenge. Even though over thirty years have passed, everything still lingers in his heart.
He must kill this person with his own hands.
No one could imagine how deeply Hong Sujue fell in love with his own younger brother. Even himself, the irrational love clouded his conscience leaving only the desire to possess and own everything.
Sweat dripped down his face, over thirty years of waiting to meet the person who is more precious than life itself, and now that he has found him, he will not let him go.
Even if they both have to die together, he will agree.
Two people stood facing each other amidst the flashing lights, waiting for the final moment to deal with the other person. In the most tense situation, a loud voice sounded like the edge of a sword.
“Raise your hands above your head right now. This is the police.” The SWAT team in black uniforms of four to five people ran towards them from the rear of the ship, with guns in hand, aiming at the two people standing face to face on the front deck of the ship.
The eyes of Hong Sujue sparkled in the flashing lights. He looked at the person in front of him before a smile crept out, “You are cooperating with the police now? You must feel very low.”
Hong Kongque did not say anything, staring at the other person with a calm and serene gaze, like a statue. For a moment, Hong Sujue continued, “They will capture both you and me. You already know that, don’t you?”
There was no answer from the other person, only still and calm eyes. Hong
Sujue let out a smile, “But I won’t let you be captured. We will go together until the very last second.”
Before anyone could react, Hong Sujue reached into his pocket. Then, the fire burst out from the back of the ship, along with a loud explosion. The force of the explosion knocked several police officers down into the water.
Lu Yipeng jumped down onto the floor, seeing the reflection of red fluorescent lights all over the ship. Then the chuckling laughter became crazier and louder.
“You must go to heaven with me, not with anyone else!!”.
But Hong Kongque did not stand in front of him anymore.
The topless body quickly lunged at the other person aggressively. Then another person also lunged in to join the attack. Both grabbed arms and legs, attacking relentlessly and not letting up. Suddenly, another explosion sounded.
The red fluorescent light skyrocketed into the air while the ship tilted continuously. The force of the explosion made both Lu Yipeng and Hong Kongque retreat. However, the other person took the opportunity to attack immediately.
Hong Kongque prepared to fight back, but instead of hitting the other person as usual, Hong Sujue lunged straight at Lu Yipeng instead. This change caught Hong Kongque off guard for a moment, giving the other side an opening to attack.
Boom!
The force of the kick sent Hong Kongque stumbling back several steps before hearing a louder voice, “Paijue. If you pity this kid too much, I’ll send him to wait for you in heaven first.”
!!!!
Crushed without Hong Kongque, Lu Yipeng could not even last a few seconds. Not to mention Heiying who dealt with Hong Kongque’s punches and kicks comfortably. In this situation, Lu Yipeng had no choice but to escape as far as possible.
The problem is, even if Lu Yipeng wants to escape, he cannot do so quickly in this situation and place, especially with Lu Yipeng’s temperament. In this situation, he knows there is no way to escape completely.
So now Lu Yipeng is struggling to keep up with the other person, with the hope of surviving even a little bit. If the other person was not injured and weakened to this extent, there is no hope that Lu Yipeng can breath for this long, but even so, it doesn’t mean that Lu Yipeng can easily escape the clutches of Heiying.
Hong Kongque lunged in immediately after establishing his stance, before shouting out, “Pengpeng, do you still remember the move you stole from me?”
Lu Yipeng didn’t answer, feeling defeated as he tried to resist the blows from
Hong Sujue striking him relentlessly, much like being hit by a truck. Hong Kongque continued to question his exquisite boxing stance that he only tried to imitate for fun. Who would remember that?
“Your foundation is more stable than mine. Try using it.” After saying that, he rolled into the attack range of the opponent to block Hong Sujue punches for a while. Hong Sujue turned to face his younger brother before screaming
“Move away.”
Hong Sujue’s hand and quickly grasped the Hong Kongque’s wrist before flipping him out of the fighting circle.
As Hong Kongque thrust his hand forward, Lu Yipeng had a moment to sigh and catch his breath. At this moment, the young police officer’s mind couldn’t think much, but when Hong Kongque spoke like that, and Hong Sujue’s hand surged straight in, there was no other option but to take it. Even if he missed, he probably wouldn’t be punched to death in one go.
Lu Yipeng slid his foot back and began moving his body in the most unpredictable and skillful angle possible, as the tilting boat wavered. Hong
Sujue’s swung punch missed its target, grazing his nose slightly. Lu Yipeng grimaced slightly. Then, he lunged with both fists and his palms striking underneath the opponent’s epigastric area.
Crack!!!
The body of the opponent flew out as if kicked instantly. Lu Yipeng stared blankly before turning to Hong Kongque.
“Kongque!!”
Hong Kongque reached out and gestured, “It’s not the time to rejoice,
Pengpeng. Jump into the water now!”
The boat tilted to the point of tingling fear, and the crane that had been lying at the stern started to descend. Lu Yipeng ran towards Hong Kongque, holding onto the railing which was gradually sinking. Amidst the flames that were engulfing the stern of the boat and rising steadily.
“Come with me. Let’s jump down together.”
Hong Kongque looked at him, then spoke, “Inspector, you are going to arrest me, won’t you?”
Lu Yipeng hesitated. Then another explosion sounded loudly once again.
“Kongque. There’s no time, hurry up and come.” He said, quickly grabbing his hand and leading him towards the boat. Several police boats could be seen waiting at a distance.
“Kongque, jump as far as you can. We need to get out of the whirlpool radius around the boat.” Lu Yipeng said, gripping Hong Kongque’s hand tightly. He then tried to pull the other person to jump in, but Hong Kongque shook his hand in refusal.
“Pengpeng.” That person called his name, “Once your mission is over, will you come with me? Resign from your job and stay with me.”
Lu Yipeng looked at Hong Kongque bewilderedly. The faint orange light from the red flames bathed half of Hong Kongque’s face. Lu Yipeng saw his own figure dancing in those eyes. Before Hong Kongque’s hand reached out to hold his face.
Soft lips touched gently, and a warm tongue brushed and swirled on the edge of his lips. Then, Lu Yipeng raised his hand to hold that figure tightly, the taste of the kiss difficult to describe, spread all over his mouth. Before Hong Kongque pulled back.
“Take care of yourself, Pengpeng. I love you.”
Lu Yipeng’s eyes bulged, he hadn’t had time to say anything. His body was then violently pushed by the other person, until he fell from the boat railing immediately. Lu Yipeng reached out his hand to the edge of the boat in his last moment. What he saw was the red-winged bird disappearing into the burning boat.
…
“Ready to go with me?”.
Hong Kongque raised his eyes to look at the figure, who once gave him everything and destroyed everything of his. Around them was a large sea of flames that was about to swallow everything without mercy. The reflected red light was flickering on the face, eyes, and red-winged bird on the figure’s back.
“Little Paijue, let’s go to heaven together.”
Hong Kongque clenched tightly, staring at the figure in front.
“I will send you to hell myself!!”
…
The salty and choppy sea water splashed Lu Yipeng as he fell from the ship’s railing, pushed by the strong whirlpool that was forming around the ship. The young police officer quickly swam out of the deadly whirlpool that was about to sink the ship, and then someone’s hand pulled him up from the water.
!!
Lu Yipeng let out a big sigh. He saw the police officer in a diving suit onboard the ship in front of him. Two people on the sides helped pull him up onto the ship. Lu Yipeng was dragged onto the ship in a drenched state before turning back.
“Where is he?!!!”
An explosion sound and a red fiery blaze suddenly appeared in front of him, as if to answer his question. The yacht slowly began to sink, accompanied by the engulfing flames. The tip of it rose up high into the air, leaving Lu Yipeng staring before attempting to jump off the ship, causing the remaining police officer to hurriedly grab and hold him.
“Hong Kongque!!!!!!!!!!!”
