I finally understood what was lacking between me and top figures in society like Yu Shuang, Ying Baolin, and Xiao Tianci.
It was the decisiveness and ruthlessness!
When others attacked me, I thought of fighting back, and that wasn't wrong. But…
When others wanted to kill me, I thought of escaping.
That was a huge mistake!
The correct response and action should be the same as what Yu Shuang said earlier.
Whoever wants my life, I will kill them!
Take Yu Shuang's experience tonight, for example. She could have driven away as soon as she had the chance, but she didn't.
Instead, not only did she not choose to escape, but she launched the fiercest counterattack at the first opportunity.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and blood… for blood!
This was Yu Shuang's way of retaliating, simple, brutal, and pure.
As people who lived by the sword, one might not see tomorrow's sun at any moment, so one should seek revenge and pay blood debts with blood!
…
After a complete realization, I was instantly elevated. Looking at Yu Shuang, I said, "Let's switch seats."
Hearing me say this, Yu Shuang first sized me up, then without a word, immediately parked the car, got out, and swapped seats with me.
After sitting in the driver's seat, I turned to Yu Shuang and the Camel master and disciple in the back seat and said, "From now on… buckle up!"
With that, I shifted into gear, turned the wheel, and floored the accelerator, driving the Range Rover towards the group of desperadoes who were shakily getting back on their feet!
It's said that when a person is down on their luck, even drinking cold water feels like getting stuck in their teeth.
As it happened, a few unlucky fellows in that group of desperadoes perfectly exemplified the saying above.
Curses spilling from their mouths, they had just struggled to get up from the ground, only to be knocked down again by me.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
After falling this time, some couldn't bear the pain and desperately pounded on the car body, hunched over.
Others, still defiant, cursed and wailed in pain.
Just as there were stubborn ones, there were also soft-hearted ones.
One or two desperadoes, after being hit twice by me and Yu Shuang, swapping positions, had no trace of ferocity left on their faces, only thick blood mixed with snot and tears.
Looking at the various scenes outside the car window and under the wheels, my heart remained unmoved!
I even jokingly asked Yu Shuang, "Does your car have insurance?"
Yu Shuang's reply was, "Yes, just hit them as hard as you can!"
Receiving Yu Shuang's affirmative reply, I reversed the car and floored the accelerator again, heading towards those defiant desperadoes.
This group of social youths who had accepted hush money might seem like fearless desperadoes to ordinary people.
But in my eyes, after my realization, they were just limp and weak, with only their mouths being tough and boastful.
Just like the most famous "keyboard warriors" of later generations, they would talk big and act tough online, but when someone actually came looking for them, they'd be as useless as quails.
Since they were still being stubborn, I would run them over until they were soft-mouthed and surrendered!
Bang, bang, bang…
The second impact, after deliberately lengthening the reversing distance, sent those defiant guys tumbling off the windshield.
This time, those previously defiant keyboard warriors dared not curse or yell anymore.
After being knocked to the ground, they all cried out in pain with streams of tears and snot.
Just as I was about to shift into reverse again, Camel said, "Boss, that's enough! You've made such a scene, someone nearby must have already called the police!"
"It's fine!" I replied quickly, "This group chose to attack the isolated Yu Shuang tonight, they must have gotten permission from Xiao Tianci beforehand."
"Given Xiao Tianci's style of leaving no loose ends, he must have already made arrangements with the relevant departments, preparing to let these desperadoes who took hush money go all out!"
"My actions tonight are just a fortunate coincidence!"
Every word I spoke was powerful. My blood was hot and boiling, but my mind was calm and rational.
After speaking, I reversed the car and floored the accelerator again, driving the car straight through them!
Whether they were dead or not, I wasn't sure. But I knew one thing.
Since these people had accepted hush money, they were… dead men!
After three consecutive reverse collisions, seeing wisps of white smoke rising from the car's hood, I decisively stopped the car, then got out.
As I got out, I saw five or six "desperadoes" lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Under my violent and bloody actions, all these "desperadoes" had shed their hypocritical masks, revealing their true faces.
They lay on the ground, groaning in pain, as if they were about to die.
At this moment, I felt a genuine disdain for these "desperadoes." They were far inferior to Camel.
A true desperado should be like Camel, fierce and taciturn.
As long as you paid him, he would do whatever you asked, killing and arson were trivial matters!
The miserable state of the "desperadoes" before me suddenly filled me with an indescribable sense of relief and exhilaration.
Taking a deep breath, I pulled a cigarette from my pocket, lit it, and exhaled a long stream of smoke.
Ever since Han Jinlun's accident, the pain, confusion, frustration, and anxiety that had been suppressed in my heart for so long were all released without reservation.
We humans are like springs; the tighter we are compressed, the stronger the rebound.
Everyone, whether in life or work, must control their emotions, release them in time, and manage stress with flexibility. This is the correct way to do it.
Never resort to extreme measures like I did. Although it felt great, the price… ordinary people could not bear it easily.
…
Just as I was releasing my pent-up stress, someone crawled out from under the car.
Upon closer inspection, it was the middle-aged man who had pretended to chat up Yu Shuang earlier.
The middle-aged man's clothes were all crumpled and stained with blood, his face deathly pale, clearly scared out of his wits.
Seeing me looking at him, the middle-aged man immediately shivered and said, "Brother, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"We're all drivers on the road, boatmen on the river. There's no need to get like this… really!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with endless fear as he looked at me.
Hearing this, I sneered meaningfully, "Heh heh~ Don't worry, I didn't intend to run you over!"
"If I really wanted to run you over, you wouldn't have had the chance to crawl out from under the car!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I…"
Before the middle-aged man could finish, I interrupted him, "Give Xiao Tianci a message for me. Tell him that the revenge game between him and me… has officially begun!"
