Too Much to Bear, Nothing to Say! / Mishaps on East Street

Zhao Lei first gasped for breath, his eyelids twitching wildly, not out of fear, but because his head was swollen from the beating, and the blood flowing from his head into his eyes was making him feel uncomfortable.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "Brother Tian! I called you 'brother' and treated you like an older brother, and you actually wanted me to trick my own brother's sister out? Forget about it! Turn back before it's too late. This is a society governed by law. Don't wait until you're in jail to regret it!"

Zhao Lei, as if grasping at his last straw, launched into a frantic threat.

Although these words may sound a bit silly, they are undoubtedly somewhat useful.

Hearing Zhao Lei say that, Huang Batian became a little more intimidated and yelled "Damn it!" before shoving the sock into Zhao Lei's mouth again.

Even so, it's too late for regrets now.

So be it, I'll secretly enjoy myself during my three years in prison, and walk the road to my death with a smile!

Huang Batian returned to the table, plopped down on the stool, grabbed a can of beer, and with bloodshot eyes, pulled the tab. He watched Zhao Lei gulp down the entire can in one go, then slammed his fist on the table, sending peanuts flying.

"A-Qiang, where's Xiaohu? He went to get some food, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Brother Tian, it should be soon. Brother Hu used to work for Young Master Li. With him around, we'll have a lot more protection," the thug called A-Qiang whispered a few words of reminder.

Huang Batian snorted coldly, showing no dissatisfaction. Qin Hu was one of his right-hand men. Those who followed Young Master Li and were chosen by Li Juncheng were undoubtedly skilled fighters. Having followed Young Master Li for a long time, they knew quite a few tricks of avoiding the important and focusing on the trivial.

Unfortunately, I heard that not long ago, Young Master Li offended some big shot and was arrested. Even Prosperous Heaven Group was shut down overnight. It can only be blamed on Young Master Li's bad luck; he offended the wrong person.

In Linzhuo, Li Shao was considered a second or third-tier playboy, but if he really offended someone he shouldn't have, he still wouldn't survive.

There are always people beyond the heavens, and even more heavens beyond people...

After doing so many bad things, isn't this karma coming their way?

Thinking of this, Huang Batian couldn't help but grin, secretly relieved.

Because he used to work under Li Juncheng, always meek and subservient, now it's finally his turn to take the lead!

Fortunately, having learned from Li Juncheng's lesson, he is now more alert and astute in his actions, targeting only junior and senior high schools in the city and making threats. This way, he shouldn't offend any big shots, and ordinary police officers simply won't be able to catch him!

Aha? Clever!!

"Brother Tian, Brother Hu is back! Looks like today's meal was delicious!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the rented room was pushed open, and a rather strong and muscular man walked in. He wasn't tall, only about 1.8 meters, and had a black Scorpion tattooed on the back of his neck, which made him look quite intimidating.

People in the underworld call him Brother Tiger, while others call him Scorpion because of his tattoos, but they are just names, and he doesn't care.

Unfortunately, two fingers on one of his hands were missing.

When Huang Batian saw the newcomers, he grinned broadly and quickly invited them and some thugs to sit down.

"Ugh!" Zhao Lei struggled violently in the corner, but the salty, fishy taste in his mouth choked him up. The smell of the socks was so strong that he was about to throw up his dinner from the night before!

"Brother Tiger, this is it, what do you think?"

Huang Batian rested his elbow on the table, pulled up the photo he had taken from Douyin (TikTok), and then handed the phone over.

Qin Hu took it nonchalantly. To be honest, he didn't believe it was as miraculous as Huang Batian had said. How beautiful could a female student be?

With that in mind, he casually glanced at the person in the photo, but that one glance was enough to make his eyes widen in shock.

"Bang!" The phone slipped from my grasp and fell onto the table.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Unable to Express His Suffering!

"Brother Tiger? What happened? Was this girl too beautiful, and you couldn't resist?"

Huang Batian was completely dumbfounded.

"No... it's not Brother Tian, my mother's name is... uh... no, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll have to go now."

After saying that, without waiting for Huang Batian to react, Tiger Brother immediately stood up, slammed the door, and left, leaving everyone stunned.

But no one noticed the fear in his eyes at that moment.

Whenever he recalls that dark and stormy night, he can't help but tremble with fear. His heart leaps into his throat, filled with terror and his legs tremble uncontrollably.

She... she's not human... she's a monster! Anyway, good luck, brother!

"What happened to Tiger?"

"I don't know either, it's so inexplicable!" Huang Batian was also baffled. It was just looking at a picture of a little girl, why was he suddenly so scared?

He had investigated the other party's identity beforehand; they were just an ordinary family, posing absolutely no danger and with extremely low risk.

Could it be... that little girl is Magical Girls? Or perhaps Astral Mark Girl?

Although he was a hoodlum, these things had already spread like wildfire online, so he was bound to hear a little bit about them, though the chances were extremely low...

How could he possibly run into him by such a coincidence?

"Forget it, one less person won't cause any problems!"

Huang Batian waved his hand and said fearlessly!

Kidnapping a female student? How many times has this happened? It's just that this guy is more famous this time. What could possibly be wrong with that?

Time flies...

Before anyone could react, it was already 2 PM...

At the school gate, students walked into the school with "steady" steps, and many private cars rushed in, raising a lot of dust.

These are all dynamic scenes at the school gate; they are very natural phenomena, quite natural.

Dragon Soaring High School is a semi-public, semi-private school with all its schools ranked in the top five. Its facilities, teaching staff, and reputation are all excellent in Linzhuo. To get into these schools, students either come from well-off families or have exceptionally outstanding academic performance. Of course, getting in through connections is another matter (and there are many).

Walking on the street, you can often see many cars whizzing by, and sometimes you can even see one or two luxury cars. Most of them are parents taking their children to school.

As for Ling Mengxue, she had excellent grades in sixth grade, so she was admitted to this school. No matter how bad her grades were after that, she could continue studying until graduation.

I have no idea what's going on with such a bizarre setting.

I entered through the back door and quietly returned to my seat.

Yue Youyou noticed Ling Mengxue, and her face flushed red instantly.

She couldn't bear to look her deskmate in the eye, just thinking about what had happened at noon.

Ling Mengxue glanced at her strangely, but seeing that she still looked gloomy, she assumed that she was rather introverted and decided not to bother her.

She slung her heavy schoolbag over the back of the chair and immediately collapsed onto the table.

Lying flat feels so good... I don't even need to move.

She usually takes a short nap like this before class every day. She can't help it; she's busy playing on her phone at noon, and she's incredibly sleepy now.

It's all because SK released a mobile game, and she had to get started early. In just one afternoon, she's already reached the top 500 in the entire server. Her game ID, Xiluo Fengxue, hasn't changed, and her friend list is already overflowing!

As for why her schoolbag was so heavy, the main reason was that she picked up a brick on her way to school this afternoon.

To avoid getting her backpack dirty, she also cast a magical protective spell on it.

Meanwhile, Ling Mengxue, who was lying on the table, was completely unaware that Zhao Ping was staring blankly at her outside the door, lost in thought, feeling that the girl's stunning beauty was breathtaking.

Yuwen stood to the side, looking at him speechlessly.

If you like someone, just go for it! Is it really necessary to wait until you see them starting class every time you pass by a class before leaving?

Oh shit!

Doesn't he realize how much higher his chances of winning over his own brother's sister are compared to others?

Yuwen watched with her for a while, until his patience ran out, then he grabbed Zhao Ping's shoulder and turned him around so they were facing each other.

"Bro, if you like someone, just confess! Don't be like me, waiting until you lose them to regret it!"

"I understand, but what about you? Did you win Su Yun back? I really like Su Yun, and I didn't even get to drink your wedding wine. Now, I don't even need to give a red envelope?"

Zhao Ping snapped out of his daze, broke free from Yuwen's grasp, and retorted unwillingly.

Seeing the sincerity in his brother's eyes, Yuwen also fell silent.

"Then it's settled, let's see who wins her back first!" Zhao Ping smiled wryly, breaking the awkward silence first.

"Ha... Alright! Brother, I'll go crazy with you one more time!"

When class started, the two walked away arm in arm, showing their deep brotherly affection.

However, as they were leaving, Ling Mengxue suddenly turned her head to look out the window, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"With such a good relationship, why not... cough cough, alright then, I'll stay with you until the end."

Ling Mengxue thought to herself, but then again, she remembered that Zhao Ping had prepared to study hard this semester, and she hoped that his mind wasn't just filled with these things.

Didn't you want to learn magic and become an apprentice to learn martial arts?

If you don't work hard, what will you use to compete with others?

Despite her inner admiration, she didn't laugh at them in the slightest. She gave it her all and worked towards her dream goal. How cool!

Keep going, young man! Have ideals in your heart, strive for them, and give it your all. These qualities alone deserve respect and emulation...

This afternoon's classes were as long as ever, but I could clearly feel that the students were more focused and attentive than usual. Maybe it's because they're in their final year of high school... or maybe it's to prepare for the entrance exams... Anyway, it's a good thing.

Ling Mengxue had thought they had all turned over a new leaf, but little did she expect that as soon as the bell rang after the first class and the teacher left, the classroom would instantly erupt into chaos again...

After a moment of silence, she gave up on complaining, thinking she should have seen through these people's true colors long ago.

It was at this time that Lin Ruoxi and Bai Chuting came to visit.

Judging from the situation, it seems that Lin Ruoxi told her about her situation, but of course, she didn't reveal her identity.

We chatted briefly, added each other on WeChat, but didn't talk much.

Although Bai Chuting was still somewhat reluctant, she couldn't resist Lin Ruoxi's repeated obstruction. Mainly, she saw that Sister Meng was already very tired in the afternoon, so she couldn't bear to disturb her any longer.

Finally, when the five o'clock bell rang to signal the end of class, Ling Mengxue realized that the main event of the day was about to begin, and her good friend in her schoolbag was also there.

A brick!

What she didn't notice during this time was that her deskmate Yue Youyou, had been watching her all afternoon. Seeing that the time was right, she immediately stood up, as if afraid that Yue Youyou would run away again.

"Ling... Ling, can I ask you a question?"

"Um?"

Ling Mengxue looked up at her shy classmate, "Youyou, is something wrong? Just ask, it's not like we're going to eat you, right?"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing Ling Mengxue say such a thing, Yue Youyou blushed immediately and buried her head even deeper.

Just then Lan Yuxin and Liu Yinxuan walked over.

Liu Yinxuan had actually heard what was said, and remembering that she and Ling Mengxue had important matters to attend to, she immediately stopped the person.

"Youyou, is there anything I can help you with? If so, just ask me directly. There's no need to bother Ling."

Chapter Fifty-Six: Hilarious Mishaps on East Street

"I..."

"I want Ling to help me with my studies!"

Seeing this, Yue Youyou knew she couldn't delay any longer. After thinking it over for a while, she blurted it out.

But when she actually said it, the balloon, which had expanded to the size of N miniature universes, suddenly deflated.

Even if she were to ask Ling alone about this, she wouldn't have the courage to press the matter. How could she possibly dare to speak up in front of so many people?

It wouldn't be a big deal if it were just a trivial matter, but the important thing is that she wanted to find out about Ling Feng! Although they usually don't talk, she knows that Lan Yuxin is Ling Feng's ex-girlfriend. If she were to ask her about it to her face, wouldn't she have no shame?

"Does Youyou need Mengxue's help with her studies? How about I help her?"

Liu Yinxuan suddenly remembered that Ling Mengxue was a transfer student, and she didn't know how well she was doing in school. Why would Youyou suddenly think of asking her to review her lessons?

Upon hearing Liu Yinxuan's words, Yue Youyou was immediately at a loss for words. Usually, she was alone, and today she had said so much in one breath that she didn't know how to continue.

She kept her head down, silent, and no one could see her expression until she felt her sleeve being tugged. Only then did she come to her senses and find Ling Mengxue looking at her with a faint smile.

"Youyou, I might be busy today. How about tomorrow? I can stay at school to help you during evening self-study tomorrow night, or I can come to your house."
