Chapter 5: Eliminating Evil

In the dead of night, when everyone in the orphanage had fallen asleep, a black figure darted out from the orphanage and swiftly moved toward the city center, leaping from the rooftops of the dark buildings.

Hongcheng Tower is one of the tallest buildings in Z City, with a total of twenty floors, each rented out to small office enterprises.

Chu Zifeng stood at the entrance of Hongcheng Tower, looking up. The entire building was dark except for the tenth floor, which was lit. After dinner, Chu Zifeng had learned from Dean Li about Liu Hu's real estate company, which was located on the tenth floor of Hongcheng Tower. Since the real estate company still had people working, it saved him a lot of trouble, as he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of finding out where Liu Hu lived.

Entering the building, Chu Zifeng went straight to the elevator, his face cold, a stark contrast to his usual sunny personality. At this moment, Chu Zifeng was filled with anger, and he would not let those who dared to bully his family off easily.

On the tenth floor, there were five offices, but only one was lit. Inside this office, a few men were discussing something.

"Boss, we have already acquired all the land except for the plot belonging to your uncle. Your development project can basically start now."

The man speaking was the short-haired man who had come to the orphanage with Liu Hu for trouble during dinner. There were a few other men in the office, all of whom had been to the orphanage today.

Liu Hu said, "Skinny, I hired you to do work for me, not to give me advice. If you had good ideas, you would be the boss, not me."

Liu Hu's eyes were fierce, and the short-haired man and the others were all startled by his glare.

"Yes, Boss, you are right. We will find a way to acquire the orphanage's land as soon as possible and won't let you down."

"Good to know. Also, have you taken care of that matter?"

"Boss, rest assured. We have already laundered the five million yuan through several hotels in the city. No one will find out."

"Hmm! You did well with that, but the most important thing now is the orphanage's land. I didn't expect Li Shuang to be more stubborn than my dead uncle. This development project is a three million yuan deal. You should go there again tomorrow. If Li Shuang still refuses to sell, set the orphanage on fire."

Liu Hu was truly ruthless, coming up with such a wicked plan. People like him should be punished severely.

"Sorry, but you won't have that chance."

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open. Since it wasn't locked, there was no need to break in.

"Who is it?"

The short-haired man and the others turned to see a simply dressed young man walk in and close the door.

"It's you."

The short-haired man immediately recognized Chu Zifeng, the boy he had seen at the orphanage today.

Liu Hu also recognized Chu Zifeng and asked, "Boy, did Li Shuang send you to talk to me about the orphanage's land?"

"Do you think I have anything to talk about with people like you?"

"Boy, don't be so cocky. Don't you know where you are?" the short-haired man said angrily.

"Regardless of where I am, since I'm here, I have to finish what I came to do."

Liu Hu stood up, placing the Persian cat on the sofa, and smiled. "It seems you're here to cause trouble?"

"Not to cause trouble, but to make sure you can't cause trouble for others anymore."

"Ha! Boy, you're not the first to say that. Those who said it before have all disappeared from this world. ... Skinny, it's up to you."

"Boss, rest assured. Since this boy came to die, we have no reason not to help him."

The short-haired man pulled out a dagger from his waist and charged at Chu Zifeng.

Chu Zifeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He did not dodge the dagger coming at him, and everything seemed to slow down like a movie scene.

Chu Zifeng grabbed the short-haired man's hand holding the dagger, pulled it behind him, and then kneed him in the stomach.

With a "bang," the short-haired man fell onto Chu Zifeng, his eyes almost popping out. Such force would be unbearable for an ordinary person.

"Ahh..."

The short-haired man screamed, but Chu Zifeng would not let go of those who wanted to harm his family. Since he came here today, he had no intention of letting anyone here off.

"You want to burn our orphanage? Let's see if you have the life to do it."

Chu Zifeng was enraged. He grabbed the short-haired man and, as if lifting a stone in the Xuantian Cave, lifted him over his head and slammed him to the ground.

The short-haired man fell like he was dropped from a high building, and with a "thud," the office was filled with a loud noise and splattered blood.

But Chu Zifeng was not done yet. He kicked the lifeless body of the short-haired man toward the other men.

"This is the fate of those who want to burn our orphanage."

"This, this boy is a psychopath. Brothers, let's all go at him and take him down."

The other men could not bear to see such a scene. They had been in the underworld for years and had experienced countless fights, but this level of violence was new to them. Though their legs were trembling, they knew that if they stood still, they would be the next to die.

"Today, you will all die."

Chu Zifeng shouted arrogantly, and his figure darted like lightning to the other men, delivering a heavy punch to the second man.

Bang.

The punch hit the second man's chest. Chu Zifeng's upper body formed a bow, and his lower body an arrow. He then quickly turned and delivered a spinning kick, sending the second man into the wall and knocking a clock off it.

Another shocking scene unfolded. The second man fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and blood gushed from his mouth, nose, and ears. His body lay motionless like a pile of mud.

This was pure violence! The seemingly gentle and refined young man was a demon from the depths of hell. His movements were so fast that Liu Hu and the others could not see clearly, yet in an instant, two men were taken down. This scene was something only seen in movies... no, Chu Zifeng's methods were even more terrifying than those in movies.

"It's your turn."

Chu Zifeng faced the remaining two men and Liu Hu, but now, who dared to fight him? Life is precious, and without it, no amount of money matters!

The remaining two men no longer cared about their boss and circled around Chu Zifeng from both sides. If they were not on the tenth floor, they would have jumped out of the window.

"I said, today, you will all die."

Whoosh...

Chu Zifeng kicked to the left, and the third man only heard a gust of wind. His body was hit by a powerful force.

Bang. The third man's waist hit the table behind him.

Chu Zifeng followed up, slapping the third man's forehead.

Pfft...

The third man spat out blood and fell half on the ground, half on the table.

The last man looked at the demon-like Chu Zifeng, his legs trembling and kneeling on the ground, stammering, "B, Big Brother, I, I don't know them well. Please, be merciful and spare me!"

"Spare you? Did you think about sparing our orphanage?"

"That, that wasn't my idea. It was all this fatso's doing. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Unfortunately, you are part of their gang. I have a strange temperament; I don't tolerate weeds around me. If I don't cut them off, they will cause more trouble."

Snap.

Chu Zifeng stepped forward, grabbed the last man's neck with one hand, and squeezed, breaking his neck!

Looking at the bodies on the ground, Liu Hu broke out in a cold sweat. He had been in the underworld for years and thought he had seen everything, but he never expected this young man to be so ruthless, showing no mercy and taking down his opponents without hesitation.

"What, what do you want?"

"What do I want? Shouldn't I be the one asking?"

"I have money. I'll give you money. Please, for my uncle's sake, spare me. I have a family... no, I have elderly and young to take care of. If something happens to me, no one will take care of them!"

Chu Zifeng said angrily, "You don't have the right to mention the Dean. You don't deserve to be his nephew. The Dean would not recognize you. ... Do you think you're the only one with a family? When you wanted to burn the orphanage, did you think about the children, who are already the most pitiful in the world, abandoned by their parents, and you still wouldn't let them go, wanting to burn them all. What use is there for someone like you?"

"Big Brother, I beg you. I don't want the orphanage's land anymore, and I'll give you more money..."

Liu Hu, trembling, walked to the desk, took out a black leather box, and opened it, revealing stacks of red RMB.

"Here, here is one million yuan. If you spare me, all this money is yours!"

Chu Zifeng looked at the box of money. The money Liu Hu had earned was certainly ill-gotten, and the orphanage's finances were not good. If he had this money, he could go to Yanjing with peace of mind.

"Bring the money over. As for you, I'll think about it."

Liu Hu, relieved that Chu Zifeng might spare him, said, "Big Brother, if you spare me, all this money is yours!"

Chu Zifeng took the box and saw that it indeed contained one million yuan. "This money will be the only good thing you've done in your life."

"Big Brother, can I go now?"

"Go? You haven't received your due punishment yet. How can you go?"

"You, you said you would spare me!"

"Oh? Did I say that? ... Let's just say I farted."

Chu Zifeng stepped closer to Liu Hu, who fell to the ground, tears streaming from his eyes, and repeatedly bowed, pleading, "Big Brother, I know I was wrong. For my uncle's sake, please spare me!"

"The Dean raised me. Even though you are a scoundrel, you are still the Dean's nephew, so I won't kill you, but I won't let you continue to do evil! ... You will spend the rest of your life in bed."

Chu Zifeng raised his hand and struck Liu Hu's right shoulder.

Snap, snap, snap...

Liu Hu's bones made a cracking sound. Chu Zifeng's strike broke all his bones, though not fatally, he would definitely become a cripple!

Chu Zifeng clapped his hands, finally solving a major problem for the orphanage and earning one million yuan. This was a great fortune.

Before leaving, Chu Zifeng returned to his usual expression, looked at the dead and crippled bodies on the ground, and smiled. "Liu Hu, rest assured. The people in our orphanage are very kind. I will call an ambulance for you!"
