Chapter 13: Someone Is Looking for Trouble
"Wow... Hao Shuai? Isn’t he one of the legendary Four Crazy Young Masters? Wasn’t he the guy who, back in the day, punched someone’s head to pieces and stomped another person’s spine, leaving them disabled forever?"
A group of male students nearby saw Xu Wei coming and knew something had happened, so they pretended to eavesdrop. When they heard about Hao Shuai, they couldn’t help but be amazed.
He was the leader of the Four Crazy Young Masters from two years ago, and Hao Shuai made so many people tremble with fear. No one would dare oppose him, let alone even glance at him more than necessary.
Now that his younger brother Hao Jian was sent to the hospital by Chen Tianlong, how could he not be angry?
"Then please take a message back for me: Chen Tianlong has never known the meaning of caution," Chen Tianlong said indifferently.
At this moment, Xu Wei’s expression began to change, becoming serious, and the everlasting smile at the corner of his mouth finally faded.
He frowned, thinking to himself, not knowing where this Chen Tianlong kid came from. He heard he’s a new transfer student, origins unknown.
But he’s indeed too arrogant. Who does he think Hao Shuai is?
He doesn’t even bother to ask around, and now he dares to come back with a tough guy attitude. Damn, is his brain broken?
"Alright, I’ll convey your message," Xu Wei said with a slight change in expression before immediately returning to his previous demeanor and turning to leave.
Leaving those nearby male students slightly dumbfounded, wondering who this Chen Tianlong was to dare to confront Xu Wei. This guy is really defying the heavens.
After Hao Shuai graduated, he became the Crown Prince of the underworld in South Sea City.
He has a force of at least seven or eight hundred people under him, possibly even arms, and yet this Chen Tianlong dares to stand against Hao Shuai without knowing his limits.
The boys thought and discussed this among themselves.
And it seemed Lin Wushuang overheard some of it too, having started listening attentively since Xu Wei entered.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Wushuang was obviously a bit worried. She wanted to arrange to have lunch with Chen Tianlong at noon to tell him about Hao Shuai. Lin Wushuang believed Chen Tianlong must be unaware of such a figure as Hao Shuai to have said what he did.
After all, the crux of the matter was caused by her. Now that they’re coming to find trouble with Chen Tianlong, she couldn’t just ignore it.
Clearly, Lu Xiaoyu next to her was also a bit trembling. She knew Xu Wei, who often came looking for Mo Shaoyun to smoke together in the corridors, obviously no good character.
After Xu Wei left, the classroom returned to calm, but everyone knew that Chen Tianlong had already offended someone from the Hao family, and it seemed like there would be no good outcome in the future.
During the last class of the morning, Lin Wushuang thought for a while and finally decided to send out a note, which quickly reached Chen Tianlong’s hand.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, not knowing what this girl wanted to say this time, and directly opened it to see: "Chen Tianlong, have lunch with me at noon, I have something to tell you."
Thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong directly wrote a single character on the note and passed it back.
Obviously, Chen Tianlong agreed to Lin Wushuang’s invitation to lunch, and he couldn’t be too ungrateful since this girl probably hadn’t invited any other boys.
Indeed, after the class bell rang, Lin Wushuang purposely lingered in the classroom, tidying up her books and such, letting her friend Lu Xiaoyu go ahead. Lu Xiaoyu frowned but said nothing more, simply going to lunch with a few other girls from their class.
Chen Tianlong did it deliberately; he didn’t stand up immediately but waited until everyone left, then got up and walked to Lin Wushuang’s side.
"Miss, everyone’s gone; shouldn’t we go have lunch too?" Chen Tianlong said with a faint smile.
"Ah? Oh..."
Lin Wushuang looked around intentionally, then scratched her head, as if she had been really busy just now and forgotten to eat. Actually, she was shy. After all, it was her first time inviting a boy to lunch, and it felt quite strange.
Just now, she had a bit of regret because she hadn’t told her friend clearly to go ahead. If Lu Xiaoyu and the others saw them later, wouldn’t it be awkward?
"Alright, let’s go. I remember there’s a fancy restaurant on the third floor of the school’s canteen. If you don’t mind, shall we try it?" Chen Tianlong suddenly said.
As for whether it’s expensive or not, it didn’t bother Chen Tianlong at all because, in school, even a fancy restaurant wouldn’t be too pricey; a meal for two might cost one or two hundred yuan at most.
"Ah? The third floor... um..."
"It’s my treat!"
Chen Tianlong said directly. In fact, he misunderstood the young lady’s meaning; many teachers ate on the third floor, and she was worried about running into acquaintances and feeling awkward.
Just as Lin Wushuang was engrossed, a teacher walked toward them—it was their homeroom teacher, Shen Yan. Lin Wushuang was startled and quickly distanced herself from Chen Tianlong.
Shen Yan was initially taken aback but then understood immediately, guessing that these two were in love. However, she was an open-minded woman, and even though the school discouraged romantic relationships between students, it was the current era where kids were inherently rebellious.
The more you prohibited them from dating, the more they wanted to do it. In the end, it leads to insufficient understanding of relationships, causing them to sneak out for secret dates, resulting in more serious consequences later on.
So, seeing the class president Lin Wushuang like this, Shen Yan also smiled slightly and went to the canteen with her lunchbox, probably to grab some food.
Lin Wushuang took a deep breath; the scene just now was really risky. As the class president, she didn’t want the teacher to call her into the office for a talk because they were in their senior year.
The two of them continued walking forward, and just as they passed the basketball court, a ball suddenly "whizzed" right at Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong calmly reached out, caught the ball in his hand, and looked to the front right.
He saw a group of at least a dozen people quickly surround him, headed by none other than Xu Wei, along with a few of his lackeys that Chen Tianlong had beaten up yesterday.
But standing with Xu Wei was another rather arrogant-looking guy. This man had dark skin and bushy eyebrows, presenting a sharp contrast to Xu Wei beside him.
This person was Zhang Hujun, Xu Wei’s top enforcer and also a sports student who often played basketball.
One always wore a half-smiling face, while the other seemed to be perpetually angry. If it were an ordinary person, just looking at such demeanor would make them feel terrified.
"Chen Tianlong, we meet again!" Xu Wei said with a smile.
"Oh, who threw this ball?"
Chen Tianlong didn’t have the time to mess around with them, but the person who threw the ball was really disrespectful. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, it would’ve hit him right in the face.
"I threw it. Got a problem?" At this time, a brawny male student standing behind Zhang Hujun and Xu Wei stepped out, calling out disdainfully.
