Chapter 347 - 345: Issuing a Challenge Letter
"Well, if I’m not mistaken, this person should be from out of town and has a powerful background. The most crucial point is that they might have some connection to the Huang Ziyan kidnapping incident."
Chen Tianlong said this and noticed Wu Mengting’s bewildered expression. He smiled slightly and continued, "Think about it, why was the Huang Ziyan kidnapping case investigated so thoroughly a week ago and then suddenly went quiet? There must be something fishy."
"Huh? Oh..."
Wu Mengting seemed to understand a little, having a moment of realization.
"Alright, if nobody offends me, I won’t offend others. You just focus on your studies and prepare to beat me in the next monthly exam." Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile.
"Oh, it should be you getting ready. I’m always prepared, don’t get too cocky." Wu Mengting glared at Chen Tianlong.
"Also, I’ve already made it to the top five. You agreed to my terms, so shouldn’t we pick a good day to follow through?" Chen Tianlong said with a mischievous smile.
"Oh... that..."
"You’ve changed your mind?"
"Hmph, who changed their mind? Anyway, I’m your girlfriend now, so you figure it out. If something happens, I’m not responsible."
Wu Mengting pouted, and Chen Tianlong understood what she meant, smiled wryly, and nodded.
Meanwhile.
Hao Jian was dozing off at his desk when suddenly someone placed a piece of paper in front of him, waking him up.
He looked closely and saw that it was a challenge letter.
"Wow, Hao Jian actually got a challenge letter." A classmate beside him suddenly shouted.
"Huh? Really? Who’s the fool daring to provoke him?"
"Looks like we’ll see some good drama now."
"What’s going on?"
Lin Yu couldn’t stand it anymore. Hao Jian had moved over here, so he also switched spots with the students here. He recently had surgery on his nasal bridge; fortunately, it wasn’t broken.
It was a fracture, but after bandaging, he could still attend class normally.
Everyone quieted down again as Hao Jian took the challenge letter in his hand, took a deep breath, and began reading it.
"In two days, on the school’s open stage, I, Huang Zhong, challenge the four Crazy Young Masters of the campus. If Hao Jian has the guts, then come; if not, forget it."
After reading it, Hao Jian was almost exploding with anger. Being considered the leader of the four Crazy Young Masters after his brother left school, Hao Jian was recognized as one of them, inheriting his brother’s legacy, but he never found a chance to establish his dominance.
This Huang Zhong was really arrogant. Even though he had some skills, he shouldn’t be so overconfident.
Under the current circumstances, Zhou Qianghan had already graduated and couldn’t participate, leaving only three Crazy Young Masters: Liu Wenbin, Mo Shaoyun, and himself.
So naturally, the responsibility fell on him.
Initially, he didn’t want to participate, but this matter had already spread, and Huang Zhong certainly wouldn’t let it go easily, as he aimed to disgrace the Crazy Young Masters’ reputation.
With this ruckus and the challenge letter issued, if the Crazy Young Masters didn’t dare to fight back, they would lose all their intimidation at South Sea No.1 Middle School.
However, if he chose to accept the challenge, he’d be fighting alone.
Hao Jian had a headache, so during the lunch break, he called Liu Wenbin and Mo Shaoyun to the playground.
After a week of recovery, and with his family being medical experts, Mo Shaoyun was back to normal quickly, but fighting might still be an issue.
"Young Master Hao, how come you have time to ask me out to bask in the sun?"
Liu Wenbin saw Hao Jian sitting on the playground’s iron railing, took out a pack of cigarettes, and tossed one to him.
Hao Jian caught it casually and said lightly, "Oh, you dare to smoke here, impressive. You’ve improved."
"Hehe, why wouldn’t I dare? It’s just a lousy school, nothing to be scared of." Hao Jian said this as he handed the lighter to Liu Wenbin.
At this moment, another figure appeared in front of them.
"You two are so proactive, have a cigarette!"
Mo Shaoyun had arrived too, and smiled at the two of them.
The three lit their cigarettes, took a deep puff, and Liu Wenbin leaned against the iron railing, saying, "You asked me out this time; I guess it’s about the challenge letter, right?"
"You got one too?"
Hao Jian asked casually. He had expected this since Huang Zhong targeted all the Crazy Young Masters, not just him.
"Heh, what do you think?"
Mo Shaoyun always smiled wryly, "However, our four Crazy Young Masters are down to just the three of us, and look at me now; how can I fight?"
"Sigh... are we just going to give up? If we do, we’ll have no deterrence at school in the future." Hao Jian was helpless.
The two took a drag from their cigarettes. They never imagined that one day the three of them would feel so helpless.
"We have two days left. What should we do? We definitely have to participate in this showdown." After a long time, Hao Jian finally said.
"Find Chen Tianlong. Isn’t he considered a Crazy Young Master now?" Liu Wenbin suggested.
"Oh? Are you saying we should get that boy Chen Tianlong to help? Do you think it’s possible?"
Hao Jian’s eyes lit up with interest, but he immediately thought that guy always acted as if it had nothing to do with him, making it difficult to get him to help.
Liu Wenbin smiled faintly, "Going directly to Chen Tianlong won’t work, but if Principal Situ Feng goes... hehe."
"Young Master Liu, you’re suggesting getting the principal involved?"
Hao Jian was taken aback and finally understood Liu Wenbin’s implication.
"Yes, if we can get that guy to step in, our chances of winning will be much higher. I heard he’s much fiercer than us, has no background, but if something displeases him, he fights. Truly fierce."
Liu Wenbin was somewhat admiring, as even with his own backing, he didn’t dare to act recklessly. Yet, Chen Tianlong acted without any scruples, and the school wasn’t doing anything about it.
"Well, he is quite fierce."
Hao Jian recalled Chen Tianlong’s recent performance, which was truly surprising.
In just over a month, he’d caused a stir in South Sea No.1 Middle School and even the entire South Sea City. He wasn’t a simple person.
After the three settled down for a while, Liu Wenbin suddenly said, "Then let’s meet with the principal this afternoon."
"Hmm, that’s all we can do. If not, I have a plan!" Hao Jian said with a sly grin.
"Oh? What plan?"
Liu Wenbin asked with interest.
At this moment, Hao Jian whispered to Liu Wenbin’s ear, upon which Liu Wenbin and Mo Shaoyun smiled contentedly. The three jumped off the railing and started heading to the dormitory.
Meanwhile, Hao Jian began spreading rumors through Lin Yu, saying that the fifth Crazy Young Master of South Sea No.1 Middle School, Chen Tianlong, was preparing to join Huang Zhong’s challenge.
By the afternoon, this matter had spread like wildfire throughout the school. However, the sudden appearance of the title ’fifth Crazy Young Master’ left the students surprised.
Especially the freshmen and sophomores who didn’t know Chen Tianlong were very curious and went around asking which class this legendary person was in and what he looked like.
"Chen Tianlong, since when did you become the fifth Crazy Young Master?"
Lin Wushuang, always in the know, learned that the four Crazy Young Masters would participate in a challenge in two days, and now the rumor about Chen Tianlong being the fifth was spreading wildly. She couldn’t help but ask.
"Oh, how would I know? Don’t listen to their crazy talk." Chen Tianlong said calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn’t want to bother with it.
