At night in Jiangcheng District, the spotlights on the arena only lit up the circle above the head.
Wu Chen won the most critical victory in his career - KOing "Jiangcheng Heavy Artillery" Guo Shiyu with a left-hand flat uppercut in the second round. He received a bonus of 20,000 yuan. His mother's "Sanwei Bookstore", which has been open for 17 years, can finally survive this quarter.
He thought the hardest battle had been won.
Guo Shiyan lost the game, but relied on him to buy a bowl of beef noodles. Two men who were taught by the same old coach Feng Baoshan became brothers in a greasy noodle restaurant and turned from rivals into brothers.
But under the ring, the real fierce battle has just begun.
Developer Yao Jianlong has his eye on the land for the bookstore. Violent evictions, loan shark traps, and late-night store smashings—the methods are increased layer by layer. When Wu Chen rushed back to the bookstore, his mother had been pinned to the ground.
He defeated more than a dozen bodyguards by himself, but fell at the feet of the fighting master next to Yao Jianlong.
Guo Shiyan stood up with a group of fellow disciples.
From the life and death situation in the underground boxing ring, to the street fighting in the dark night, to the final head-on showdown - the two men split the quagmire inch by inch with their fists.
This is a story about boxing, but also a story about a mother, a brother, and a bookstore.
When you get punched in the ring, you have to stand up within eight seconds. If you get beaten in the ring, the method is the same.
