Chapter 437 - 435: Chen Tianlong Loses His Temper
At the corner of the road outside, two people were already lying down, and one was still conscious, but his thigh had been broken by a kick from Chen Tianlong, groaning in pain.
Originally, Chen Tianlong was not so violent; they forced him to act this way. If he hadn’t wanted to avoid causing a big scene, he would have taken them down one by one long ago. Now this group had pushed him to his limit, forcing him to strike hard.
"Help me convey a message to Xu Wei, tell him to go buy a coffin in advance."
After saying this, Chen Tianlong held Wu Mengting and walked straight towards the school, leaving the bicycle behind.
Along the way, people looked at Chen Tianlong carrying a girl with surprise, but at that moment, he didn’t care at all, holding Wu Mengting tightly without the slightest bit of relaxation.
He knew that Wu Mengting was still in shock at this moment, and he had to give her warmth every second to make her forget her fear.
Like this, Chen Tianlong carried Wu Mengting through the long streets, all the way to the school.
The school guard watched Chen Tianlong carrying Wu Mengting inside, surprised. He originally planned to stop them, as it might affect the school’s image. But as soon as he stepped out, he saw Chen Tianlong’s murderous sharp eyes, and instantly scared, he quickly pretended not to see anything and walked back.
After a short while, Chen Tianlong brought Wu Mengting to the football field and gently put her down.
He sat on the grass, letting Wu Mengting lean on him as they quietly sat there. He gently caressed her soft hair, looking at the gradually darkening sky.
Remembering their first accidental date when Wu Mengting confessed to him, with that shy face, Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but let his tears flow, dropping onto Wu Mengting’s somewhat pale face.
Finally, Wu Mengting came back to her senses in the midst of Chen Tianlong’s tears. She slowly opened her eyes, blurred by tears, and all the endless bitterness in her heart disappeared at that moment.
"Chen Tianlong, thank you."
Wu Mengting felt Chen Tianlong’s deep love and began to regain her composure. Although frightened, she still felt very safe with Chen Tianlong’s protection.
"Mengting, I’m sorry I got you involved. I know who did it; they were targeting me, not knowing it would harm you." Chen Tianlong was very remorseful that his issues had caused Wu Mengting to suffer.
"Chen Tianlong, don’t say that."
Wu Mengting’s tears flowed again. Seeing Chen Tianlong in tears, her heart ached to the point where she couldn’t breathe. She tightly hugged Chen Tianlong’s neck, gently kissed his cheek, and said affectionately, "Chen Tianlong, I love you."
Chen Tianlong wiped Wu Mengting’s tear-stained eyes, smiled through his tears, and held her tightly in his arms. Wu Mengting would become the most important woman in his life.
The two of them held each other tightly like this until late at night.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
Suddenly, Wu Mengting’s stomach growled a few times, obviously hungry.
She hadn’t eaten that afternoon, planning to eat after returning home. Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered this and awkwardly said, "Mengting, I’m sorry. I forgot you hadn’t eaten."
"Hehe, it’s okay. I’ll go out and grab something to eat later."
After a few hours of calming down, Wu Mengting had clearly returned to her usual self. With Chen Tianlong by her side, she feared nothing.
"Alright, then let’s go out for a bit. Also, our bike has probably been towed by the police. I already called the police before." As Chen Tianlong dashed through the grove, he had taken out his phone and dialed 110.
"Yes."
Wu Mengting didn’t pay much attention to these things, just thought for a moment and said, "Chen Tianlong, I don’t want the police to know about this."
Chen Tianlong nodded. He knew that once such a thing was exposed, regardless of whether the thugs succeeded, everyone would gossip, and Wu Mengting’s reputation would be severely damaged.
After all, she was still a student, with all kinds of people in school. If the news spread, it would affect her studies.
"Don’t worry, I have a good idea whose conspiracy this is. I will definitely avenge this." Chen Tianlong said determinedly.
"Chen Tianlong, I.... let’s just forget it. After all, nothing major happened, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?" Wu Mengting didn’t want Chen Tianlong to escalate the issue, fearing it might affect his future.
That day, Wu Mengting saw it as well. Of the six people, five were already down, all violently hit by Chen Tianlong, and the remaining conscious one had his leg broken.
If he pursued the mastermind, there might be casualties. She didn’t want Chen Tianlong to end up spending his life in prison.
"Hehe, I promise you I won’t cause any deaths, but I must teach them a good lesson. The kinder you are, the more they’ll retaliate."
Chen Tianlong was clearly humoring Wu Mengting, as he had already made up his mind.
"Alright then."
Wu Mengting admitted she was a bit timid. She couldn’t help it, being inherently kind. If she could be ruthless, she wouldn’t be the Wu Mengting she was now.
After having a bowl of rice noodles, Chen Tianlong drove her back to Tan Tian’s house. At that moment, Tan Tian was anxiously waiting at home, the meals were cold, and Wu Mengting hadn’t returned, nor did she answer her phone.
Finally, he saw a car stop at their door, hurriedly ran out to take a look and found it was Chen Tianlong, with his granddaughter Wu Mengting sitting in the passenger seat.
"Mengting, what happened to you? Why are you getting home so late? You almost gave your grandpa a heart attack."
Tan Tian was clearly a bit angry and continued, "You should let me know if you’re going out. You usually come home every Friday after school. I cooked meals, and by nine, you still weren’t back. I was so worried."
"I’m sorry, Grandpa. I had something to do at school, forgot to call you, and then left my phone in the classroom."
It was Wu Mengting’s first time lying to her grandpa, but she was bad at it. After two sentences, her cheeks were half-red, and seeing this, Tan Tian shook his head, knowing she was lying.
But his daughter never lied to him. If she’s speaking falsehoods now, it’s probably because she has something she doesn’t want him to worry about. After a deep breath, Tan Tian didn’t follow up with more questions and invited Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting inside.
"Grandpa, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I’ll definitely call next time to keep you reassured." Wu Mengting noticed Tan Tian seemed gloomy and continued to speak.
"It’s okay. I was just worried about you."
Tan Tian kept eating, feeling a bit sad.
"Master, it’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have taken Mengting out to play and forgotten to call you." Chen Tianlong quickly came to support Wu Mengting.
"Oh? So you were out with Tianlong? Mengting, really now. Going out with Chen Tianlong is perfectly normal. Why didn’t you say so earlier, and save me from worrying?" Tan Tian seemed convinced after hearing Chen Tianlong’s cover.
