Zhang Yue's Background

The two burly men were drenched in cold sweat by now. They stood off to one side, cowering and not daring to move.

Although they were both over thirty and could no longer study at a martial arts school, their strength had reached the level of Advanced Martial Arts Students. Yet the young man in front of them had beaten them both down with a single slap.

There was no doubt about it: the young man was a warrior, and from the oppressive aura he gave off, he was no ordinary one.

The bald man on the left swallowed hard and put on a brave face. "We work for Young Master Wang. You'd better not go throwing punches."

"Young Master Wang? The Wang Family in the capital?" Su You asked with a frown.

With his current strength, he really had no way to deal with a young master of the Wang Family. Besides, they had only just come to cause trouble. At most, he could take his anger out on these two.

The two burly men nodded repeatedly. They thought Young Master Wang's name had cowed the kid and that they were now out of danger. Once they reported back, maybe they could even get revenge on him!

"Hmph. The Wang Family? Is it Wang Xing'an?" Su You asked in a low voice, his expression turning cold.

The two men shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of that name.

"Wang Xingping?" Su You asked again.

The men shook their heads once more. Su You frowned and thought for a moment. In his memories of his previous life, it seemed only those two members of the Wang Family had appeared. Could it be some third-generation Wang who had never appeared?

"Then what's your Young Master's name?" Su You asked impatiently.

The bald man lifted his head. "Our Young Master is Wang Xingle."

"Wang Xingle?" Su You almost laughed out loud. So it was the guy who had taken the Quasi-Warrior Assessment with him back then—a mere illegitimate son the Wang Family refused to acknowledge.

"Call him right now and tell him to get over here."

The two men immediately broke into a cold sweat. They hurriedly took out their phones and tapped the contact saved as Young Master Wang.

More than ten minutes later, a Hummer pulled over by the road. Wang Xingle, his eyes somewhat swollen, got out and hurried straight into the bun shop.

From the two men's description over the phone, he had already guessed the young man's identity, which made him even more uneasy.

Wang Xingle rushed into the bun shop. At a glance, he saw only his two subordinates crouched by the entrance, so he hurried over and kicked each of them once before asking in a low voice, "Where is he?"

Su You lifted the curtain and came out from the back room. He gave a cold laugh, then said, "Well, well, if it isn't Young Master Wang. Quite the big shot, aren't you?"

Wang Xingle didn't take offense. His face broke into a broad smile as he hurried forward and bowed. "Oh, Brother Su! Long time no see. I've missed you so much."

Su You sneered. "More like you've been wishing I'd die!"

"How could that be? Brother Su, we took the Quasi-Warrior Assessment together, and then the combat assessment too. In ancient times, we'd have been fellow graduates. That makes us practically—right?

"What they did was indeed on my orders. I was in the wrong this time. You're a magnanimous man, so please forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xingle took an envelope from his coat pocket and handed it to Su You. "Brother Su, just a little something from me. Please give it to your sister-in-law to calm her nerves."

Su You gave a laugh and grabbed Wang Xingle's outstretched right hand. He squeezed slightly, and Wang Xingle immediately let out a scream.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Brother Su, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry! Please let me go!"

Even in such excruciating pain, Wang Xingle had no intention of using the Wang Family to threaten Su You. He knew that if the family found out about this, they wouldn't stand up for him. They would abandon him completely and might even make him pay for his mistake.

The truth was, he had only sent his men to cause a little trouble in front of the bun shop. Even if the Security Bureau got involved, he could settle the matter by paying some money.

But that would only settle things officially. Su You would definitely retaliate afterward, and the Wang Family would certainly find out. When that happened, he would be in even worse trouble.

Wang Xingle's cries rang through the shop. Even He Yourong, in the back room, couldn't help lifting the curtain to take a look.

"My hand's about to break! Please, let me go, Brother Su! For my sister's sake—she and you are classmates at the Training Camp—please let me off this once!"

"Hmm? A classmate at the Training Camp?" Su You's hand paused slightly as he thought it over. Among the female students from Huaxia Country, there were indeed two with the surname Wang, but neither seemed to match Wang Xingle's sister.

"Is your sister at the Basic Training Camp?" Su You asked.

Wang Xingle tried to pull his hand free, but couldn't. He hurriedly forced a smile and said, "Yes, Brother Su. I have a younger sister at the Training Camp. She's your classmate!"

"Oh? What's her name?" Su You asked curiously.

"Zhang Yue. Her name is Zhang Yue."

Su You was so shocked that he lost control of his grip and squeezed down hard. Wang Xingle let out another scream.

Su You released his hand and asked with a frown, "Zhang Yue is your sister? You're not trying to fool me, are you?"

Wang Xingle rubbed his right hand and grimaced. "Brother Su, how would I dare lie to you? Zhang Yue really is my sister—our father is the same, but our mothers are different!"

"Same father, different mothers?" Su You muttered, then asked, "I remember your father is the Wang Family's Third Young Master, right?"

Wang Xingle nodded awkwardly. The Wang Family's Third Young Master was practically a one-man baby-making machine. Rumor had it he had over thirty illegitimate children, and Wang Xingle was one of them.

Su You asked doubtfully, "That doesn't sound right. I heard Zhang Yue has a deep grudge against the Wang Family."

Afraid Su You wouldn't believe him, Wang Xingle hurriedly explained, "She does have a deep grudge against the Wang Family, but she really is my half-sister."

"Oh? Tell me about it," Su You said at once. He knew Zhang Yue had a grudge against the Wang Family, but he had no idea what it was about.

"Well, this involves the Wang Family..." Wang Xingle hesitated.

Su You's expression changed. He gave him a cold look.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Wang Xingle shuddered and leaned close to Su You, speaking in a low voice.

"Zhang Yue's mother—no, Aunt Zhang—had a relationship with my so-called father when they were in college. Back then, she had no idea what he was really like.

"Not long after she got pregnant with Zhang Yue, she found out what my so-called father had been doing, so she broke up with him. After that, she raised Zhang Yue all by herself."

Su You nodded, prompting Wang Xingle to continue.

Wang Xingle fell silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Su, you absolutely can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you, or I'll be in serious trouble."

"Don't worry. I definitely won't tell anyone," Su You assured him.
