Chapter 790: Taking the opportunity to speak loudly

Hou Liangping also took the opportunity to respond loudly: "It is because of people like you that society is in such a mess! True justice is to protect fairness and not let innocent people be bullied by evil people like you!"

The two sides exchanged fierce gunfire and verbal battles. Zhang Mazi's side relied on the advantage of heavy firearms to temporarily stabilize the situation, while Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping relied on their belief in justice and flexible tactics to hold on.

During the fierce battle, a stray bullet hit Qi Tongwei's arm, and blood immediately flowed from his arm, but he simply tore off a piece of his clothes to bandage it, and then continued to fight. Seeing this, Hou Liangping's heart tightened: "Tongwei, you are injured!" Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, this injury is nothing, I will never give up until Zhang Mazi is brought to justice!"

At this time, Zhang Mazi saw that Qi Tongwei was injured and thought that there was an opportunity, so he personally picked up a machine gun and rushed towards Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping with several men. "Die!" He roared wildly, firing wildly with the machine gun in his hand.

Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping quickly hid behind a thick stone pillar. The bullets hit the stone pillar, splashing countless sparks. Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and said to Hou Liangping: "Liangping, this is not a solution. We have to disperse their firepower. You go around from the left, and I will attack from the right to catch them off guard!" Hou Liangping nodded in agreement.

The two looked at each other, their eyes conveying firm trust and determination. Then, they rushed out from behind the stone pillar at the same time, running in different directions. Seeing this, Zhang Mazi's men hurriedly dispersed their firepower and shot at Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping respectively.

Qi Tongwei relied on his agility to shuttle through the hail of bullets, sometimes rolling, sometimes jumping, and cleverly avoiding the enemy's bullets. At the same time, he kept firing back, and each bullet hit the target accurately. Hou Liangping was not to be outdone. He used the debris in the basement as a cover and quietly approached Zhang Mazi.

When Hou Liangping was only a few steps away from Zhang Mazi, he suddenly jumped out from behind the bunker and pointed the gun at Zhang Mazi's head: "Zhang Mazi, your doomsday has come!" Zhang Mazi's eyes widened in horror. He wanted to raise his gun to resist, but it was too late. At this moment, one of Zhang Mazi's men suddenly rushed over and blocked Hou Liangping's bullet with his body.

Zhang Mazi took the opportunity to run away. Qi Tongwei saw this and immediately chased after Zhang Mazi. He chased after him and shouted, "Zhang Mazi, you can't run away!" Zhang Mazi panicked and ran into a dead end in the basement.

Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping quickly surrounded Zhang Mazi, who was at the end of his rope at this time. The gun in his hand fell while he was running away. "You...you don't come over!" He shouted in horror, his voice full of despair.

Qi Tongwei approached Zhang Mazi step by step, with anger flashing in his eyes: "Zhang Mazi, you have done many evil things, and today is your retribution!" As he said that, he grabbed Zhang Mazi's collar and lifted him up. Zhang Mazi struggled, but could not break free from Qi Tongwei's restraints.

Hou Liangping stepped forward and said coldly: "Come back with us and accept legal sanctions!" Zhang Mazi collapsed to the ground, his eyes full of regret and fear.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was choked by endless pain. At this moment, the unbearable scenes of the past surged in his mind like a tide.

He recalled his dilapidated childhood, the low and damp adobe house, and the pots and pans that collected rainwater every time it rained. His parents worked hard every day for a meager living, but they still couldn't fill the family's stomach. He watched the children in the neighborhood wear clean and tidy clothes and carry schoolbags to school, while he could only work barefoot in the fields with his father. If he slacked off, he would be beaten by his father's rough hands. Hunger, cold and humiliation, like a demon, tightly entangled his childhood and planted the seeds of hatred in his young heart.

When he grew up, he was looking forward to changing his fate through his own efforts, but he was powerless and encountered obstacles everywhere. When he worked in the factory, he worked very hard, but his salary was always deducted because he did not know how to please the powerful supervisors. Seeing those who entered the factory with him but rose step by step because of their background, his resentment became stronger and stronger, and he fell into the abyss of darkness. He began to make friends with some people who were also dissatisfied with society, and gradually embarked on the road of crime.

In order to get ahead, he planned a series of evil deeds. He and Li Mazi worked hard to run an underground casino, using various means to lure innocent people into the quagmire of gambling. He watched them lose all their savings and their families were broken up, while he counted the money he earned with a morbid satisfaction in his heart. He also participated in the operation of underground banks, using high interest rates to drain those who were in urgent need of money, making them fall into the abyss of debt and unable to extricate themselves.

He thought he could go further and further on this dark road and become a "boss" that others feared. But unexpectedly, the appearance of Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping completely shattered his beautiful dream. Every carefully planned action was seen through by them; every plan that he thought was perfect was ruthlessly crushed by them. Now, standing in this basement, he looked at Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping, his heart full of resentment and regret.

He remembered that he once had a kind side. When he was a child, he would share the dry food he was reluctant to eat with the stray cats and dogs in the village. But now, he has become a demon despised by everyone. He hates his own weakness and the injustice of this society, but none of this can be an excuse for his evil deeds. He knows that he will soon face severe punishment from the law, and his so-called "glory" is nothing but a ridiculous and tragic farce.

"I... I didn't want this to happen..." Zhang Mazi finally spoke out, his voice tinged with tears, "I just want to live a better life, why is it so difficult..." His body curled up into a ball, as if he could escape the impending punishment in this way.

Qi Tongwei looked at this pitiful and hateful man in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. He loosened his grip on Zhang Mazi's collar and said, "You had countless chances to turn back, but you got deeper and deeper into trouble. This is all your own choice."

Hou Liangping stepped forward and handcuffed Zhang Mazi: "No matter what your reasons are, they cannot be an excuse for committing crimes. Now, follow us."
