Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Want me to surrender to him? Don’t even think about it!

Jiang Li sighed, "Where is your mind wandering? I bought it at the Daton Festival, and luckily I had stored it at Aunt Ying’s place, so it wasn’t burned in the fire. After returning to the Capital, I asked her to send it to me, and I just got it today."

As she spoke, she took out a gift box from behind her.

"See if you like it."

Jiang Shixu carefully unwrapped the box.

Before him lay a delicately crafted handmade leather drum.

The drumhead was made of special calf leather, exceptionally smooth and emitting a faint fragrance.

The drum’s body was wrapped in various hemp ropes, embellished with an array of colorful yet harmoniously arranged flowers.

At just one glance, Jiang Shixu fell in love with it.

"What a beautiful drum," he said, gently tapping on the drumhead, and the drum immediately produced a pleasant thumping sound.

Jiang Li smiled, "I’m glad you like it. Haven’t you been spending all your time in the music room recently? I remember you always loved music when you were little. If you’re interested in pursuing it further, you can."

But Jiang Shixu immediately hung his head, "But Grandpa says that’s not a proper occupation..."

"How can that be considered not a proper occupation?" Jiang Li retorted, "Do you think your dad isn’t pursuing a proper occupation either?"

"Of course not," Jiang Shixu quickly denied.

He always thought his dad was awesome.

Being able to stand on such a grand stage, facing so many people without a hint of fear, pursuing his own dreams against his family’s objections—

Wasn’t that the coolest thing in the world?

But he couldn’t do it; he was too timid, stuttering even when he spoke, let alone singing and dancing in front of an audience.

However, Jiang Li said, "If you like it, why not give it a try?"

She opened her phone and displayed a colorful interface before him.

"This is a popular music platform lately. A lot of people sing on it. You don’t have to show your face; just share your voice with others. Let me see your ability and determination, and then I’ll consider whether to argue your case with Grandpa."

Jiang Shixu was extremely surprised.

Had she really thought this much for him?

"Besides, I have also arranged a music teacher for you. They should be coming over soon. It’s such a pity to go through life without doing what you love. You’re still so young, with plenty of time and energy—do you want to give up what you love just because of someone else’s negative opinion?"

Jiang Shixu was stunned, gazing at Jiang Li before him, and in that moment, he seemed to have realized something.

He then nodded seriously and hugged the small drum tightly in his arms.

"Alright, Sister, I understand. I definitely won’t let you down."

...

Jiang Yan, confined at home, was so bored he could only sleep in his room all day.

He would fall deep into slumber before midnight.

He dreamt that the accursed Scar Face had unbelievably escaped from prison and, in a fit of madness, had tracked him down.

He engaged in an intense fight with the villain and finally subdued him, becoming the publicly acknowledged hero.

However, just as he was driving a luxury car, enjoying the company of beautiful women on both arms, and proudly making his way home, the sky drastically changed, and a rumble of thunder sounded over his head.

Right after, the thunder grew more frequent, almost as if it sought to draw out his spirit.

Jiang Yan jolted awake in bed.

"Damn, another nightmare?!"

He took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

But in the next second, he noticed something odd.

Why had the thunder from his dream followed him into real life?!

Was there a thunderstorm outside?

Jiang Yan walked to the window and yanked it open, but what greeted him instead was the embrace of moonlight.

Jiang Yan became even more skeptical about life.

Since it was clear outside, then where was the sound of thunder coming from?

Not until the "thud thud" noise above became more intense did Jiang Yan realize that the sound seemed to come from upstairs.

He put on his slippers and walked up the stairs, not until he saw the half-open door of the music room, from which came the clear sound of intense drumming.

Jiang Yan laughed in exasperation.

Who the fuck drums in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!

Cursing under his breath, he went over and pushed open the door, only to see the very serious Jiang Shixu inside.

Jiang Yan: "....."

Why did it have to be this kid playing the drums?!

All his curse words were swallowed back into his belly.

Jiang Shixu stopped what he was doing and looked bewilderedly at Jiang Yan standing at the door.

"Big brother, what’s up?"

Jiang Yan, irritated, ran his hand through his hair, trying to make his voice sound softer.

"You... why are you not sleeping so late?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

"I can’t sleep," Jiang Shixu said as he hugged his little drum. "I just thought to come to the music room to practice. Did I disturb you, big brother?"

"No." Jiang Yan squeezed out two words through his teeth, "Keep practicing, I’m going to sleep."

"Okay, then good night, big brother."

Jiang Yan closed the door, frustrated, and left.

So why did he choose to pick the room right below the music room in the first place?!

Thus, for several days in a row, as night fell, Jiang Yan could hear the roaring sound from above.

He was very skeptical about life.

Jiang Shixu looked so prim and proper, could it be he was practicing rock every day?

...

...

East Africa Somalia.

After an intense gunfight, the man scrambled into an abandoned residential area.

He grabbed a henchman by his side and forcibly took his ammunition to load into his own gun.

The henchman was kicked aside, scrambling up to hug the man’s leg again.

"Brother, big brother, we don’t have many people left, shall we just surrender? The firepower on the other side is really too fierce!"

The man spat out in disgust and kicked the person aside again, a fierce look appearing on his handsome face.

"Damn it, they want me to surrender? Dream on! I don’t believe he really dares to finish me off, get up, I’m going to blow his brains out!"

After saying this, the man chambered his gun, but just as he stuck out half his body, a bullet violently shot into his arm.

He screamed in pain, and his gun fell to the ground.

He struggled up from the ground, trying to pick up the gun, but in the next second, a black leather boot stepped on it.

The man looked up and saw a pair of narrow, icy eyes with a faint amber glow, as cold as snow, enough to make one’s heart tremble with fear.

The man finally felt some fear, trembling as he backed away, but he was still knocked out by a passerby with a club.

When he awoke again, he was tied up in a basement.

The man from before was standing in front of him, his long figure hidden in the shadows making it difficult to see clearly, only able to vaguely make out his pale neck and wrists.

Gu Yu sneered.

"What now, you really plan to execute me behind the old man’s back? What difference does that make you from me?!"
