71: Chapter 71: Tang Zhong, co out!
Based on Tang Zhong’s experience, Xin Xiaotong had definitely been crying; there was a slight redness beneath her eyes.
What happened?
Tang Zhong’s expression beca grave, and he decided that as soon as Xin Xiaotong ca over, he would definitely ask her what was wrong.
At this mont, Xin Xiaotong walked out of the school gate feeling sowhat dejected, but she also spotted Tang Zhong on his electric bike from a distance.
Not wanting Tang Zhong to see the distress on her face, she forced a smile.
“Xiaotong, what’s wrong?” Tang Zhong hurriedly asked.
“I’m fine.” Xin Xiaotong forced a smile.
Tang Zhong wasn’t a fool.
It was obvious there was sothing wrong.
Wasn’t it clear that sothing was afoot?
“Is soone bullying you?”
At the ntion of bullying, Xin Xiaotong panicked and quickly shook her head: “No, nobody’s bullying .”
“I don’t believe it.
Tell who’s bullying you and I’ll go find them.
Is it those two people from last ti?” Tang Zhong said.
He suddenly rembered the two he had encountered at the market a few days ago, one of whom seed to be called Gou Shi, and the other, Wei Suo.
“It’s not them, it’s not.” Xin Xiaotong shook her head: “Big Brother Tang, let’s hurry ho.
Mom must have finished cooking and is waiting for us.”
“Alright then.” Tang Zhong didn’t know what else to say.
If Xin Xiaotong wouldn’t talk, there was nothing he could do but continue: “If soone bullies you, you must tell .
I’ll help you deal with it.
You have to believe that I will always have your back and ease your troubles.”
After saying this, Xin Xiaotong’s body shuddered, and she looked at Tang Zhong, too moved to speak.
She indeed had been bullied.
It was the sa Gou Shi and Wei Suo from last ti.
After seeing Xin Xiaotong with Tang Zhong at the market, they reported back to Zhou Hao, who was quite notorious at the school and acted like a little overlord.
He had been pursuing Xin Xiaotong for a long ti, but she had rejected him each ti.
Over ti Zhou Hao vowed that he would win her over.
But as soon as he heard from his lackeys Gou Shi and Wei Suo that Xin Xiaotong had been hanging out with a man at the market, strolling and shopping together, he beca furious.
The girl he couldn’t win over was seen shopping with another guy.
So he took his cronies and started spreading malicious gossip about Xin Xiaotong at school, reducing her to tears.
However, Xin Xiaotong felt helpless against this.
Zhou Hao’s family was powerful and wealthy, far beyond her capacity to contend with.
All she could do was suffer in silence.
But Zhou Hao beca more aggressive, spewing even uglier rumors.
He even threatened that if Xin Xiaotong did not agree to date him, he would tell the school about her being with other n, ruining her reputation and possibly her education.
He gave her two days to think about whether she would beco his girlfriend.
Today, Xin Xiaotong had been dwelling on this issue, which left her feeling disoriented until she ran into Tang Zhong.
This was sothing Xin Xiaotong would never share with Tang Zhong.
At this mont, having heard Tang Zhong’s words, she nodded vigorously to herself.
Knowing he wouldn’t get anything more out of Xin Xiaotong, Tang Zhong said, “Get on the bike; let’s go ho for dinner.”
“Okay, Big Brother Tang.” Xin Xiaotong nodded.
The two of them got on the electric bike, and with a swish, they set off for ho.
When they arrived at the Shallow Bay community, passing by the entrance, they happened to see old man Gu packing up his fruit stand.
Seeing them, he cheerfully called out, “Tang off work?
Tongtong finished school?”
With the adjustnt along the way, Xin Xiaotong had also regained her composure and smilingly replied, “Yes, Grandpa Gu.”
Tang Zhong also gave a slight smile.
“Grandpa Gu, I’m going to go ho for dinner now.” Xin Xiaotong waved her hand.
“Go on then.
I’ve packed up and am off to have my dinner too,” Grandpa Gu laughed.
The two rode their bike into the community.
Tang Zhong thought of what his grandfather had said: “Does Grandfather live alone?”
“No, his granddaughter, she lives with him, takes care of the old man’s daily needs, and also works in Jianghai,” Xin Xiaotong said.
“I see!”
By this ti, the two had already reached Niu Niu Hotel’s entrance and stopped the car.
Xin Xiaotong rushed straight ho and shouted, “Mom, I’m back.”
Aunt Xin had already prepared the al waiting for them to return.
Seeing them now, she imdiately went up to greet, “Hurry, co have dinner.
The food has been ready for a while, waiting for you.”
Tang Zhong and another person hurried up and gathered around the table to eat.
anwhile, at the entrance of Shallow Bay community, Grandfather was still packing up his stall when suddenly a frail figure appeared at the entrance.
Seeing Grandfather packing up, she quickly stepped forward: “Grandfather, let help you.”
With one glance at the newcor, Grandfather broke into a smile: “Xiaoyu, you’re back from work!”
“Yes, Grandfather, traffic was heavy today, so I got back late,” the frail figure responded.
If one looked closely, one would realize that this person was indeed Wu Xiaoyu, the one who had taken the bus after parting ways with Tang Zhong earlier.
Wu Xiaoyu was Grandfather’s granddaughter.
“No worries, it’s perfect timing.
I’m just about done packing up,” Grandfather said with a laugh.
“I’ll help you.”
Together, the elderly man and the young woman quickly entered the community.
Soon, evening had fallen upon the whole community.
At that mont, outside the community, a sedan had been waiting for quite so ti.
Inside it, there were four people, one of whom was Cao Fei, previously at Shallow Bay to collect protection money.
The other three were wearing police uniforms, although they were only auxiliary police.
One of them was Cao Fei’s uncle, Cao Xingwang.
“Uncle, you have to stand up for ,” Cao Fei said indignantly.
Now, just thinking about how Tang Zhong had beaten him made him furious.
He wanted revenge.
The little followers who used to hang around him had all left him now, and it was all because of Tang Zhong.
Cao Xingwang, squinting his eyes, had also been a gangster before becoming an auxiliary policeman and was familiar with the turf.
Hearing that his nephew had been bullied, he imdiately got angry, brought a few colleagues, who were also auxiliary policen, rushing over.
After listening to Cao Fei recount his experience, he beca even angrier.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely stand up for you,” Cao Xingwang said.
The two other auxiliary policen also chid in, “Don’t worry.
If your uncle doesn’t stand up for you, I will.”
“You two stay out of this.
He’s my nephew; I’ll help him take revenge,” Cao Xingwang said.
Then Cao Xingwang looked at Cao Fei and asked, “Are you sure the person who hit you is in this community?”
“Uncle, I’m one hundred percent certain that guy is in there, living in a place called Niu Niu Hotel.
The ones who hit are all together; they can’t get away with it,” Cao Fei said.
“Alright, I got it,” Cao Xingwang said, then started the car.
The sedan roared to life and drove into Shallow Bay community.
Since it was an auxiliary police car, most of the community recognized it and understood what was happening—it was definitely Cao Fei bringing his uncle to seek revenge.
They saw Cao Xingwang park the car in front of Niu Niu Hotel, get out, and shout, “Who is Tang Zhong?
Co out!”
