Chapter 66: Devil in My Heart
Feng Renrui went to find Geng Yuan in Bayintown on the orders of Feng Renhao.
Cheng Kun, after being chased away by a burst of gunfire from Gang Yi, became more and more indignant: "Hmph! The notorious flower thief Feng Renshui is not only a scourge on society, but also an iron-clad traitor who sells his soul to the Japanese devils. He's actually helping the Japanese devils harm Chinese women, and he's still alive in this world. And yet, our leader Xing Yuan wants to find him to inquire about his origins? It's really a case of not distinguishing good from evil! Our leader has a tattoo of a green snake on his body, so he must be the descendant of the old leader without a doubt. Why bother finding that thief Feng Renshui to ask about his origins?" Cheng Kun involuntarily let out a "Hmph!" and thought to himself: "I'll immediately rush back to Bayin Town and tell our leader about Feng Renshui's actions, so he can stay far away from him."
Cheng Kun thought to himself and quickened his pace, rushing towards Bayin Town.
After sending Cheng Kun away to deliver the message, Gengyuan stayed in the big yard, feeling a bit stifled, and walked out of his bedroom to take a stroll.
He was alone in the yard, witnessing the desolate scene in the yard, and his mood also became depressed. At this time of depression, a beautiful girl's figure floated into his mind, and this beautiful girl was none other than his junior sister Yao Fenglan.
Gengyuan admitted that he liked Yao Fenglan so much and regarded her as his lifelong love. However, Yao Fenglan was not interested in him at all, and every time she faced him, she had a look of disdain, making him feel miserable. Nevertheless, he still had expectations because Master Huichong always treated him with kindness and care. Gengyuan thought that Master Huichong was being so good to him because he had chosen him as his future son-in-law. Therefore, he always made an effort to show himself off in front of Master Huichong, hoping to continue to receive his favor. However, before leaving the mountain, his expectations were completely shattered. He saw and understood that Master Huichong not only gave the temple's treasure, "Piaopiao Wujipian Fist", to Xin Yuan but also knew that Yao Fenglan and Xin Yuan had secretly engaged themselves, with the token of their engagement being the priceless jade pendant on Yao Fenglan's body. The two jade pendants were given by Yao Fenglan to Xin Yuan, which meant she gave her whole life to him.
As soon as he thought of these things, Kangyuan's heart was pinched so painfully that he didn't want to accept this reality. He wanted to escape from it, so he wrote a letter to Master Huichong and then left the mountain resolutely.
At this time, Geng Yuan not only had a deep hatred for Master Hui Chong, but also had an intense hatred for Xin Yuan. "Why? Why did you get what was originally mine, what should have been mine, Geng Yuan's? Now it's all gone, and I must take back every bit of it."
Geng Yuan knew that he couldn't retrieve it with his own strength, so he had to rely on external forces. This external force was Feng Renhe. Even if Feng Renhe wasn't his father, he would still resolutely turn to him for help.
Geng Yuan thought of his several senior brothers, feeling they were all super childish and ridiculous. Hmph! You guys dare to provoke Japanese people and become national heroes? Truly, you are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating your abilities. Hmph! I, Geng Yuan, want to be an outstanding person, a powerful person, so I must follow the Japanese. Only by following the Japanese can I enjoy endless wealth and glory. Hmph! You so-called national heroes will eventually be exterminated, you just wait to die in the wilderness, you will definitely lament, your choices are so unwise. Hmph! Whoever tries to take my things will not get along with me, I won't let any of you have a good life.
Geng Yuan was furious, venting all his anger on Xin Yuan. He saw a small stone on the ground in the courtyard and walked forward to kick it out with the tip of his foot. The stone flew up, whistling through the air, hitting the wall. Suddenly, a black figure fell from the wall. Before long, the person who had fallen into the courtyard came out from the cluster of trees at the base of the wall.
Geng Yuan walked closer and found it was Cheng Kun whom he had sent out to deliver a message.
"Oh, it's you. Why didn't you come through the main gate? Why did you climb over the wall?" Gangyuan is now the leader of the gang and treats Cheng Kun like a master to his servant, without any politeness at all.
"Master, the situation is urgent, I had to rush to see you and tell you what happened. That Feng Renshui is a thief and has defected to the Japanese, he's a die-hard traitor. Master, your background can't be related to such a scoundrel. I reckon that Feng Renshui must have gone back to Cangmen City to seek reinforcements, which would be unfavorable for our Qing She Gang. So, I hurried back here to leave with you together."
"Take your time, no need to rush, speak slowly."
"Boss, in short, we must leave here immediately. I'll go pack my things, or it will be too late," said Cheng Kun, and then he went back to the house to pack his things.
Geng Yuan looked very unhappy. He had originally wanted to ask Cheng Kun if the letter had been delivered, but as soon as Cheng Kun returned, he was in a hurry to leave.
"I'm not going anywhere. My goal is to see Feng Renshui and ask him if what he said at Biyuan Temple that day was true. If it's true, then I should be the young master of the Feng family, and I can rightfully take over the Feng estate. I can enjoy wealth and glory, and the prestige of being a young master. Is Feng Renshui a traitor? So what if he is? As long as I can live comfortably and enjoy wealth and glory, who cares about being called a 'traitor'? Those are just foolish people who don't understand the world. In today's society, whoever has power is my master! Ha! Changing masters makes me a traitor? Think about it, in the past at Biyuan Temple, I slept on a wooden bed, ate vegetarian food, and wasn't even allowed to drink wine. It was a miserable life. I don't want to go back to that kind of life again! Ha! Let me leave here? No way, I'm not leaving! I'll just wait for Feng Renshui right here." Gengyuan thought this to himself and sat down on the steps, ignoring what Cheng Kun had said earlier.
Cheng Kun carried a burden on his back, came out of his bedroom, and saw that Geng Yuan was still sitting there without moving. His hoarse voice was filled with sobs: "Boss, I beg of you, you are the only hope for our Green Snake Gang's revival. If anything happens to you, I, Cheng Kun, will be ashamed of the kindness shown to me by our old boss! That Feng Renshui and those Japanese devils are all ruthless killers who would not bat an eyelid when taking lives. Boss, if we fall into their hands, we'll be dead for sure! Boss, I'm kowtowing to you, trust my words, let's leave quickly!" As he spoke, he knelt down and started kowtowing to Geng Yuan.
"Stop! If you want to leave, then leave! I've thought it through, I'll just wait here for Feng Rensui and see what he can do to me!" Geng Yuan was no longer happy, and with a wave of his hand, he turned his body around, ignoring Cheng Kun.
