Chapter 11 - 0: The Wrong Act
Chen Cang's face instantly turned red then white, and he was rather annoyed by the scolding, but he couldn't lash out!
Liu Mengting's family background was not ordinary, and Chen Cang dared only to harass her a bit, never daring to overtly use violence to coerce her.
Tang Ming left the office and headed straight for Class 5 of Senior Year Three.
Carrying newly issued textbooks and materials, a tall stack in his hands, he couldn't enter the classroom because a group of people was blocking the door.
"Hey, could those blocking the door move aside?"
Tang Ming waited for a while, but the people in front didn't seem to realize they should make way, and he immediately grew impatient.
"Yelling what, looking for trouble?"
Those blocking the door were Chen Cang's lackeys. Seeing their leader at a disadvantage, they were also in a foul mood.
"I need to go in to put away my textbooks; you're blocking the door, how can I get in?"
If Tang Ming hadn't soaked up a bit of civility from school, he would have kicked these door-blocking guys down the stairs already.
"Oh, isn't this the guy who was with Liu Mengting this morning?"
"Exactly, maybe he's trying to play the hero saving the beauty?"
A few bystanders nearby started to comment.
Hearing this, Chen Cang's lackeys immediately surrounded Tang Ming! One of the guys, whose hair looked like a hedgehog, asked,
"What's your relationship with Liu Mengting?"

"What's my relationship with her, and what business of yours is it?!"
Seeing an opening at the classroom door, Tang Ming dashed inside with a swift step.
One guy tried to reach out to grab him, but completely failed to catch him; Tang Ming was just too fast.
In the classroom, Tang Ming found a desk at the back to set down his textbooks and suddenly realized something was off!
Looking up, he saw Liu Mengting talking to a fat-faced guy.
"No way, could it be an early romance in school?"
Although Tang Ming wanted to break off the engagement, he was still engaged to Liu Mengting, and wondered if her actions counted as cheating.
"Who the hell are you? Get out!"
Chen Cang was already furious, not daring to lash out at Liu Mengting, but upon Tang Ming's arrival, he found his venting outlet.
"I'm not the one who can roll, maybe you should demonstrate?"
Tang Ming, looking at Chen Cang with sarcasm, replied, "Judging by how you look like a ball, you should be pretty good at rolling."
Liu Mengting was utterly annoyed by Chen Cang and was wondering how to get away when Tang Ming showed up; she promptly commanded,
"Tang Ming, get rid of this annoying fly for me; I get irritated just looking at him."
"Got it."
Moving closer to Chen Cang, Tang Ming pointed outside and said, "Please roll out."
"Damn it! Are you looking for death?!"
It was the first time Chen Cang was so blatantly disrespected!
In this school, not many dared to challenge him, not even the teachers, who had to respect him somewhat!
Now, this guy, dressed in shabby clothes and looking like a rural youth, actually dared to ask him to roll out, causing him to tremble with rage.
"Move now, or you're really turning into crap."
Tang Ming said indifferently.
"Go to hell."
Chen Cang threw a quick punch towards Tang Ming's face; with their close proximity, a sudden strike was naturally hard to defend against.
Chen Cang could even imagine Tang Ming's tragic face covered in blood; he often used this sudden strike move to deal with others, with much experience.
But this time, it greatly exceeded his expectations!
Suddenly, he felt his fist gripped by something akin to a vice, followed by intense pain spreading from his hand to his body.
Ah!
Chen Cang winced in pain as he realized Tang Ming had grabbed his entire hand, squeezing the fist he had clenched even tighter, almost to the point of breaking.
"I wasn't joking with you, right? If you don't leave now, you'll really turn into crap!"
Tang Ming looked at Chen Cang's face, now twisted and pale with pain, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Let go, it's killing me."
Chen Cang was now so overcome with pain he felt drained.
"Tang Ming, get this dead fly out of the classroom for me; he's really annoying me."
Liu Mengting immediately perked up, realizing this bodyguard was somewhat useful!
"Okay."
Tang Ming grabbed Chen Cang's hand and began walking him slowly out of the classroom.
"You little punk, you dare touch Young Master Chen, you're looking for death."
"Exactly, let's join hands and beat him to death."
The lackeys that Chen Cang had brought with him saw Tang Ming holding Chen Cang's hand as he stepped out, noticing Chen Cang's sweaty and pained expression, and they began to shout.
"You guys better not move, or he'll be in even more pain."
Tang Ming said to the lackeys with a chuckle.
At this, the lackeys suddenly became hesitant, truly afraid to make a move.
In the hallway, other students who witnessed this scene were stunned!
They thought it was a typical scene of a bully picking on a country boy, but they hadn't expected this country boy to be so fierce as to subdue the bully so quickly, even making the bully's lackeys hesitant.
Ding ding...
Suddenly, an urgent school bell rang, and the students stopped watching the spectacle and rushed back to their classrooms.
Seeing that class was about to start, Tang Ming reluctantly let go of Chen Cang's hand and gave a cold snort:
"Stay away from class 35 in the future, or I'll beat the crap out of you."
Chen Cang rubbed his hand vigorously, sweat pouring from his head. He was just about to seek revenge, but remembering that class was starting, he had to hold back!
With a venomous look, he glared at Tang Ming, "Don't leave after school, I'll make sure you're dead!"
Seeing that the teacher was coming, Chen Cang finally left with his lackeys.
The teacher coming to class 5 was in her twenties, dressed in a pale blue suit, with a figure that was extremely well-proportioned!
Her prominent and perky chest trembled as she moved, and although she wore a pair of floral glasses, they only made her fair face appear more playful and cute.
Li Wenxuan, as a senior high English teacher, wasn't known just for her youthful beauty or background, but for her genuine skill and knowledge!
She had grown up abroad, fluent in French, English, and Spanish!
After returning to China, she came to Tianjiao High School to apply as an English teacher, and her fluent, authentic English won the unanimous approval of the interviewers.
During her first year as an English teacher, she turned the academically weakest class 5 into one of the top five classes in the school, and in the second year, she directly nurtured several outstanding English competition students.
It could be said that her teaching ability matched her beauty, both top-notch.
"Which class are you from? The bell has rung; why aren't you going back to class?"
Li Wenxuan asked Tang Ming coldly.
"Teacher, I'm Tang Ming from class 5."
Although Tang Ming wasn't much of a scholar, he had deep respect for teachers, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so exploited by the old man yet wholeheartedly completed every task.
If he were a person of poor character, he probably would have run away secretly long ago, not exploited willingly by the old man.
In his mind, teachers were always a group worthy of respect!
"You're new here? Nevermind, go back to your seat and get ready for class."
Li Wenxuan sized up Tang Ming a couple of times, realizing his family background didn't seem very affluent, but she showed no disdain at all.
