Black Lotus

Chapter 33 - Please Don't Destroy It

Hearing the intimidating words, Wen Niannan was frightened. He was scared of what Gu Yansheng might do next.

“It’s… it’s my first time. I won’t dare anymore… I will put it in the basement…”

“I think I must teach you a good lesson. Just so that you can remember.”

Gu Yansheng glanced at him calmly. He then walked out and returned with a baseball bat in his hand.

Wen Niannan looked at the bat in his hand. As if he had guessed what Gu Yansheng was going to do, he ran to the piano that his mother had left him in a panic.

“What are you…what are you going to do?” Wen Niannan’s voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear.

Gu Yansheng approached him step by step, clenching onto the baseball bat in his hand.

“Please… Yansheng… No… I won’t play again in the future, I won’t touch it again, please don’t destroy it…”

Wen Niannan shook his head desperately, tears streaming down uncontrollably. He didn’t want his mother’s favorite piano to be destroyed because of him.

“Get out of here!” He scolded fiercely.

Wen Niannan still stood in front of the piano, protecting it.

“Okay, very good! Come up, Uncle Xu.”

Uncle Xu had heard the chaos upstairs a long time ago but was afraid to go up and check.

Hearing Gu Yansheng call from above, he hurried up. When he saw the baseball bat, he asked in surprise, “Sir, what are you doing?”

“Pull him away and hold him down.”

Uncle Xu looked at Wen Niannan with some embarrassment, but he still didn’t know how to start.

At this moment, Gu Yansheng dragged Wen Niannan and threw him over.

“Hold him down.”

After that, he turned and walked toward the piano. He slowly raised the baseball bat in his hand.

“No!”

Wen Niannan suddenly broke free from Uncle Xu’s hand and threw himself on his knees, crying, “Please don’t! Please don’t destroy it! That is the only thing my mother had left me. To me, this is the most important thing I have. Please…”

The hand holding the bat froze, Gu Yansheng glanced at him and said indifferently, “I said that I want to teach you a good lesson so you can remember.”

Bang! Snap!

Gu Yansheng hit the piano over and over again, making a terrifying screeching sound, which seemed to have turned into wailing at the end.

Wen Niannan knelt on the ground and stared blankly at the piano he cared for being ruthlessly destroyed. The bat was not only hitting the piano but also his heart.

Looking at the smashed piano, Wen Niannan’s tears fell silently.

After a long time, Gu Yansheng finally stopped. He dropped the bat in his hand and it rolled next to Wen Niannan’s feet.

He straightened his tie, glanced at the person kneeling on the ground in despair, and lit a cigarette, “If you dare to play the piano again, I will smash everything again!”

After leaving his words, he turned and left the room, leaving the person who seemed to have lost his soul.

He didn’t cry. He didn’t scream. Wen Niannan just stood up and walked to the wreckage, staying there for a whole day without coming out.

The next day, the door still did not open.

Uncle Xu was afraid that after not eating for so long his stomach problems were going to come back again, so he told Aunt Lan to make some of Wen Niannan’s favorite dishes and bring them upstairs.
