In the afternoon, Lin Chuan and his group were hanging around the school in groups of three. Xiao Ning and her two girlfriends followed along, which delighted Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao. All the way, Lu Dapao chatted and joked with the girl Xiao Ning. They looked like a couple of lovers, very intimate. This made Zhou Kai enviously wish it could be him but unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend, so he never entertained such thoughts.
"Brother Lin, it seems like Brother Pao has taken an interest in Xiao Ning!" Nuo Xiaoxi said with a secretive smile.
"That's good too," Lin Chuan said with a smile: "Maybe the two of them can really hit it off."
"Hee hee..." Nuo Xiaoxi covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lin Chuan had been staying at school because he was waiting for an opportunity. The chance to completely deal with the nuisance, Director Liu. In the afternoon, those people could only be regarded as so crawlies. He hoped this ti the person behind the scenes would step forward.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, several people were sitting on the school lawn chatting. The relationship between Lu Dapao and Xiao Ning had progressed so much that it was just short of piercing through the last layer of thin paper between them. It seed as if once pierced through, they would imdiately beco a pair of lovers.
Just as they were engaged in their enthusiastic chat, several cars suddenly charged into the school.
Four or five cars screeched to a halt inside the campus. Then, forty or fifty people tumbled out of the vehicles, each holding weapons such as knives and clubs, looking fierce and vicious. Leading them was a middle-aged man with sunglasses, empty-handed, followed by a bunch of underlings. And those burly n who caused trouble earlier were unmistakably among them.
"Trouble's here," Lin Chuan spoke up.
Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao looked up and, involuntarily, started to smile, "Goodness, you're finally here. We've been waiting all afternoon for you."
While speaking, they all stood up one after another.
Xiao Ning was clutching Lu Dapao's clothes with her hand. She asked timidly, "There won't be any danger, right?"
"Lass, rest assured," Lu Dapao suddenly grabbed her hand, saying, "Protecting a woman is a man's duty. Even if I get hurt, I'm not afraid!"
These words sent Xiao Ning's heart blossoming with joy.
From the side, Zhou Kai teased, "Geez, you, with just a middle school education, can actually utter such sweet nothings?"
"Your grandpa!" Lu Dapao glared at Zhou Kai, and the good atmosphere was ruined by this bastard Zhou Kai.
Xiao Ning, blushing, quickly broke free from Lu Dapao's grip and sneakily hid to one side.
At this mont, the opposing group of dozens had already surrounded them. Not far away, many passing students curiously gathered around; so covertly called the police, so frantically dialed the school's ergency number, and even so took out their phones to start recording videos. All in all, none of these rascals were idle.
The scar-faced leader walked over.
"You guys really aren't afraid of death, eh?" the man with the scarred face sneered, "Are you still not going to run away, waiting right here for us to co back?"
"Why should we leave?" Zhou Kai said with disdain, "Just because you losers say so?"
"Heh heh..." The scar-faced man's mouth twisted into a ferocious smile, "Today, the n get their tendons cut, and the won are grabbed back for our brothers to have a go at."
A chorus of growls...
The group of n imdiately grew excited, especially upon seeing Nuo Xiaoxi and the other pretty girls, their agitation mounting even more.
It was clear that they were no strangers to this sort of thing.
Lin Chuan asked, "Which gang do you belong to?"
"Kid, listen well, we are people from the Feiying of the provincial city," the man with the scarred face said proudly.
"Feiying's people?" Lin Chuan sneered, "Even Feiying has to give way to by three points, yet you useless things dare to be so arrogant. I think you are looking for death."
"Fuck, kid, save your bullshit," the scar-faced man's face filled with rage, "Less bragging, show so real skill."
"Is that so?" Lin Chuan smiled.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, Lin Chuan flashed, and in an instant he was at the scar-faced man's side, hands already grasping the man's neck, he sneered: "Listen well, people like you, I kill countless every year."
"You!" The scar-faced man turned pale, astounded he said, "Bro, which gang are you with?"
"Lin Chuan from Jiangbei City!" Lin Chuan replied.
"Ah!" Scar-face startled, said awkwardly, "Bro, my bad, my bad, so you're Lin Chuan. I... I was wrong!"
Bang...
Lin Chuan struck hard.
The scar-faced man imdiately rolled to the side, got up from the ground looking crestfallen, and said, "I... I truly did not see Mount Tai; I didn't expect you guys were from Jiangbei City. It looks like you must be Boss Lin of Feixiang Company, right?"
"Correct!" Lin Chuan nodded.
"Ah!" The man with the scarred face was so scared that he almost collapsed.
More than fifty people nearby were dumbfounded. In fact, they knew who Lin Chuan was. Although they had never t Lin Chuan in person, a saying had always been circulating in the gang: It's better to offend King Yan than to cross Lin Chuan!
From this, it's clear that Lin Chuan's reputation within Feiying was quite formidable. The underlings had long been aware that Feixiang Company was not to be trifled with, and Lin Chuan was even less so.
"This..." The man with the scarred face was terribly embarrassed and said, "Boss Lin, we... we were blind as bats, please... please let us off!"
"Sparing you guys is not impossible!" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "However, what will you do if that Mr. Liu cos to find you again?"
"We'll sort him out," the man with the scarred face said imdiately.
"Very good." Lin Chuan smiled and turned to point at Nuo Xiaoxi and Xiao Ning, saying, "Take a good look at these girls. If anything happens to them in the provincial city, you all better be prepared for your clan's extermination."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Upon hearing this, the man with the scarred face nodded repeatedly.
"Then why aren't you scramming!" Lin Chuan glared at them.
The gang was so frightened that they hurriedly fled back to their car and then drove away rapidly.
Witnessing this scene, Xiao Ning and the others were completely stunned. Lin Chuan looked just like an ordinary man – why were these fierce and fiendish gangsters so terrified of him, as if they had seen the Grim Reaper himself? Everyone was agape with shock.
"Xiao Xi, who exactly is Brother Lin?" Xiao Ning asked secretly.
"Him?" Nuo Xiaoxi's lips curled up with a proud smile, "He... is a God of Killing whom everyone fears."
"Oh my god!" Xiao Ning exclaid with her hand over her mouth.
Xiao Ning couldn't believe it as she looked at Lin Chuan. His appearance was that of a neat and tidy, handso student and in no way that of a God of Killing. In Xiao Ning's mind, a God of Killing should look fierce and vicious, at the very least have a stern face with a couple of scars, and a pair of eyes exuding a fierce aura. Only then could one deserve the title of God of Killing. But how could Lin Chuan, who looked like an ordinary student, possibly be called a God of Killing?
The other girls were also full of astonishnt and amazent.
"Brother Chuanzi, look at you, scaring them away with just one sentence," Zhou Kai said helplessly, "I hadn't even had a proper fight yet."
"Exactly." Lu Dapao also felt exceptionally regretful. He sighed and said, "What a pity, I was ready for a fierce battle."
Both felt it was a sha. They had finally got a chance to show off their skills in front of the girls they liked, but Lin Chuan abruptly ruined it. They both felt extrely regretful, especially Lu Dapao, who had just sparked a connection with Xiao Ning and their relationship had been going well. He had thought he could use this opportunity to impress her, but Lin Chuan had spoiled this perfect chance.
"The highest strategy in warfare is to subdue the enemy without fighting," Lin Chuan laughed and said, "To defeat the opponent without a fight, that's the best approach."
"Heh heh..." The two chuckled helplessly. Although they understood the rationale, it obviously wasn't fitting for the situation at hand.
The two laughed it off.
"Brother Chuanzi, what's next?" Zhou Kai asked, "Do you really believe they will keep their word? And that Director Liu will truly stop troubling Nuo Xiaoxi?"
"I believe they will give us this bit of face," Lin Chuan said with a slight upturn of his lips.
The two nodded, feeling there might be so sense to it.
Feiying had once been defeated by Lin Chuan, and now that Lin Chuan had personally co to them, they had to show respect. If they continued to disregard his presence, it would be hard to justify. The three strolled around the campus and soon left the provincial city.
......
Back in Jiangbei City, Zhou Kai and others quickly got back to their busy work. anwhile, Lu Dapao found excuses to go to the provincial city whenever possible. At first, he claid he had friends there and needed to socialize, but later, he stopped explaining to Zhou Kai and the others, going directly to see Xiao Ning instead. As they t repeatedly, they eventually established a romantic relationship – naturally, this was kept secret at first, until it finally ca out in the open.
September 12th, the third day of the eighth lunar month.
The old almanac marked it as a very good day. However, this day didn't seem to be a particularly good one for Lin Chuan.
"Lin Chuan!" A police car stopped in front of Lin Chuan.
"Xiao Jia?" Lin Chuan was taken aback when he saw the furious Song Xiaojia, asking, "What's... what's going on?"
Song Xiaojia jumped out of the car in a huff and annoyed, said, "Get in the car!"
"Uh..." Lin Chuan looked at Song Xiaojia bewilderedly and said awkwardly, "What's the matter?"
"Just get in the car," Song Xiaojia said, looking irritated at Lin Chuan.
"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Stop dawdling," Song Xiaojia pushed and shoved him, stuffing Lin Chuan into the passenger seat before she drove off.
Lin Chuan was completely puzzled. He did so quick calculations – wasn't today the third day of the eighth lunar month? Did he forget to check the old almanac before leaving the house? Why was his luck so bad as soon as he stepped out? What did this girl want with him? Could it be that he had done sothing wrong again? No, that couldn't be. Besides sorting out that beastly director at Jiang University that day, he basically hadn't offended anyone else. Why was she acting so fierce and intimidating towards him?
