"We're doomed!"
Wang Jianye had barely uttered those three words when he received a solid blow to the back from a rusty iron pipe.
The dull sound of bones cracking was extremely jarring in the snowy night.
"Run! Run!"
Wang Jianye screamed and collapsed into the snowdrift like a tattered sack, his teeth chattering on the ice.
He scrambled through the crowd, running frantically toward the jeep behind him.
"Old Wang! Help me out! Take me with you!"
Li Yuejin lost one of his shoes while running and scrambled up from behind.
Just as the pipe wrench was about to smash into the back of his head, in order to save his life, he grabbed the back of Wang Jianye's shirt tightly, pulling Wang Jianye, who was running ahead, so hard that he stumbled and his knees slammed hard on the ice.
"Fuck you, Li Yuejin! Let go of me! You're trying to kill me!"
Wang Jianye's face contorted in pain. He turned and kicked Li Yuejin hard in the face, roaring as he kicked and shoved, "Get out of my way! If you want to die, die yourself!"
"You old bastard! You dragged me into this mess!"
Li Yuejin, his face covered in blood, clung to Wang Jianye's leg like a mad dog, his voice trembling with rage: "If I don't survive, you won't escape either!"
Because of those few seconds of fighting, more than thirty workers, their eyes completely bloodshot, pounced on them like a pack of hungry wolves, grabbing blood-stained pipe wrenches and shovels and biting them tightly.
The two men, no longer bothering to curse, scrambled into the jeep and shakily pressed the door lock.
Wang Jianye twisted the key with his hands covered in blood.
The engine roared loudly, and a plume of black smoke billowed from the Jeep's exhaust pipe.
The tires were spinning wildly on the snow, and it looked like they were about to crash through the crowd and run away.
"Trying to run away?!"
The young worker, his head covered in blood, roared and swung the heavy iron pipe wrench in his hand, smashing it hard against the windshield of the jeep.
A loud crash.
The entire windshield shattered instantly into countless cold fragments, which, along with the howling wind, poured into the car, leaving Wang Jianye's face covered in blood.
Before he could even step on the gas, several rough, large hands reached in through the broken car window and grabbed his hair and collar tightly.
"Get the hell out here!"
Several workers, shouting, forcibly dragged Wang Jianye out of the broken car window.
Wang Jianye's body left large bloody streaks on the broken glass before crashing heavily onto the cold snow.
On the other side, Li Yuejin's car door was also pried open with several shovels, and he was kicked to the ground like trash.
"Kill these two bloodthirsty bastards!"
"You think you can just drive away?! I'll let you get away!"
The angry workers formed a circle and spat mouthfuls of phlegm mixed with blood onto the two men's faces, while their heavy leather shoes and iron tools were irrationally thrown at them.
Wang Jianye clutched his head tightly with both hands, writhing frantically in the muddy, bloody water, his agonizing screams sharper than a pig being slaughtered.
"Stop! Everyone, stop fighting!"
The young worker, his face covered in blood, gasped for breath. Pointing a blood-stained pipe wrench at Wang Jianye, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, he spat out a mouthful of blood: "To just beat them both to death like that is too easy for these bloodsucking beasts!"
He turned to his coworkers and said, "Strip them both naked! Tie them tightly to the hood of the jeep! We'll drive them through the streets, all the way to the city's discipline inspection commission compound, expose all the bastards' corrupt activities, and get our life savings back!"
"Okay, let's do it that way!"
Upon hearing this suggestion, the surrounding workers erupted in a frenzied shout.
Several men immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, reaching out to tear at Wang Jianye's military overcoat.
"Let's see who dares to make a move!"
A crisp "click" of the gun bolt rang out again.
The second brother, who was in charge, led a dozen or so scarred hunters, carrying homemade guns filled with iron shot, and stood fiercely in front of the jeep.
The second brother pointed the dark muzzle of his gun at the young worker, his eyes like those of a predatory beast guarding its prey: "You stripped him naked and took him away, who will we sell the hides to? Boss Zhao already said he wouldn't buy any more, and now we're all counting on this old geezer's money to cover our losses! Anyone who dares to cut off our livelihood, I'll take their life first!"
The young worker didn't back down, wielding a pipe wrench and pointing it at the second brother's nose, cursing, "Go to hell! The money these bastards use to buy leather is all embezzled from our hard-earned wages! Why should we give money to you people! Get out of the way!"
"We don't care about hard-earned money! We only accept cash!"
The hunters held their homemade guns level in unison, and the workers raised their cast iron pipe wrenches high.
Just as these two groups were about to pull the trigger and smash each other's heads...
A series of extremely dull and dense rumbling sounds suddenly rolled over from the end of the long street.
That wasn't the sound of just one vehicle, but the steel roar of more than a dozen heavy truck engines combined together.
A dozen blinding beams of military searchlight, like sharp swords, instantly tore through the swirling snow and swept across the open ground below the steps with overwhelming force, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.
Accompanied by extremely loud screeching brakes, more than a dozen military trucks and police cars covered with green tarpaulins blocked off the entire street like an iron wall.
"Clang! Clang!"
The truck's tailgate was kicked open extremely roughly.
Countless armed police officers and public security soldiers, dressed in military overcoats and fully equipped, poured out of the vehicles like a black tide. The clanging of riot shields and guns echoed through the snowy night, carrying a suffocatingly chilling atmosphere.
"Don't move!"
"Everyone, drop your weapons immediately! Cover your heads with your hands and crouch down!"
An extremely authoritative and irresistible roar came from the loudspeaker.
Rows of armed police officers holding riot shields quickly advanced, forming an iron wall that forcefully separated and surrounded the rioting crowd.
The dark muzzles of the guns were all pointed diagonally at the snow-covered night sky.
The overwhelming, cold-blooded, and restrained pressure emanating from the state apparatus instantly froze the frenzied killing intent below the steps.
