Chapter 31: You Go First

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Outside Mingyang City No. 1 High School, in an alley, there were eight local ruffians gathered together.

They were smoking and puffing smoke.

The leader was a man in his thirties, with a buzz cut and a riveted jacket. He was smoking very hard, and his expression looked a little impatient.

“Will he really pass by this road?”

The leader finished the cigarette in his hand and put out the cigarette butt on the wall.

“Yes, I’ve asked around. This kid has never eaten at school since the first year of high school. He will go back every afternoon after school. And this is the road he must pass by,” a pointy-mouthed little brother replied.

“Then it should be about time now, right?”

“Yes, it should be about time. He should be coming soon.”

“Then you have to keep a close eye on him. This time, you have to act quickly. I want to at least let this kid spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.”

“Okay, no problem, Brother Kun.”

However, the leader was called Luo Kun.

He was a notorious gangster in the south of Mingyang City.

When he was young, he would be locked up in prison for a period of time almost every year for fighting and intentionally injuring people.

After he turned 30, he had some restraint and started a debt collection business.

He also had an elder brother named Luo Qian.

The two brothers had always been on good terms. His elder brother was also a gangster. Speaking of which, the two brothers could be considered ‘one civil and one martial.’

The elder brother was cunning and good at scheming while the younger brother was fierce and good at fighting.

In recent years, his elder brother had been working in a real estate company for the son of the real estate tycoon, Wang Yaohua.

Through his brother, he received a lot of ‘business’ every year, and his income was quite considerable.

But yesterday, his brother was arrested.

It was said that he was involved in several major crimes.

And the people who exposed his brother were Zhang Junnian and his son.

Under the circumstances where the evidence was conclusive, Zhang Junnian and his son were interrogated by the police yesterday. They could not hold back anything and told the whole story of the whole incident.

As such, the instigator behind the scenes could not escape.

With the Zhang father and son’s joint identification, Luo Qian was immediately convicted and was now locked up.

Judging from the severity of this incident, someone told their family that Luo Qian would be imprisoned for at least eight years.

Luo Kun also knew that his brother was working for Young Master Wang. The real instigator behind this incident was also Young Master Wang.

But no matter what, as the ‘executor,’ his brother still couldn’t get away with the crime.

In addition, Young Master Wang also gave his family a large sum of money to settle down because of this matter.

It was also because of this that Luo Qian was willing to bear the crime.

After Luo Kun learned about this matter, he knew that the reason why Zhang Junnian and his son were exposed was because of a good deed done by a kid named ‘Chen Jing’.

If Chen Jing had not obtained the recording, then all they needed to do was deal with Zhang Junnian’s side.

But because of the existence of the recording, it was useless for them to deal with Zhang Junnian.

That recording made Zhang Junnian and his son go from hard bones to soft bones. They confessed everything that they should have said and should not have said.

Therefore, there was only one person that Luo Kun wanted to vent his anger on right now, and that was Chen Jing.

Wasn’t he very arrogant when this kid confronted him on that day?

Alright then. From today onwards, he would see how arrogant he was.

…

“Speaking of which, where’s Jiang Wenxuan? He’s always by your side. Why didn’t I see him today?” Chen Jing and Lu Yanyan left the school gate and chatted as they walked.

“How would I know where he went? We’re nothing to each other,” Lu Yanyan said as she pouted.

“Heh, you guys are always together. Those who don’t know would think that you guys are boyfriend and girlfriend,” Chen Jing said with a smile.

“That’s not true,” Lu Yanyan explained seriously, “I have nothing to do with him. It’s just that our families are more familiar with each other. As for him… He’s also more thick-skinned. He always has to follow me. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

“Heh, I see.”

“Hey, didn’t you say that you were going to Baihui Restaurant? Why are you going this way? Baihui Restaurant is over there.”

At a fork in the road, Lu Yanyan realized that Chen Jing had led the wrong way and immediately reminded him.

“Forget it. I was just joking just now. Do you really think that I’m going to rip you off? A decent meal at Baihui Restaurant would at least exceed a thousand. There’s no need to waste that money.”

“But…”

“I know your family is rich, but there’s really no need. On account of your sincerity in treating me to a meal, let me treat you this time. Let’s go to my house and try my mother’s cooking, okay?” Chen Jing said.

“Ah? Go to your house?” Lu Yanyan was a little stunned and a little nervous.

“What? Do you think my restaurant is small? If that’s the case, then forget it.”

“That’s not the case. I… I just… This… This isn’t very good, is it?”

Chen Jing smiled. “If you feel embarrassed, you can just pay after you finish eating. This can also be considered as helping my family attract business.”

“…” Lu Yanyan kept feeling that something was wrong, but when she heard Chen Jing say this, the nervousness in her heart seemed to suddenly disappear.

So, the two continued walking forward.

“Hey, speaking of which, can you not always report me in the future? I fell asleep during the second period of class this morning, and you reported me again. Sigh, I have to write a review in the afternoon,” Chen Jing said with a bitter face.

Lu Yanyan chuckled when she heard this, but she immediately pretended to be serious. “Who told you to sleep in class?”

“I really didn’t sleep. I was just resting.”

“You were clearly sleeping.”

“Forget it. I can’t be bothered to explain to you.” Chen Jing waved his hand.

As he said this, they entered an alley.

“Why are we going this way?”

“It’s a shortcut. We’ll be there in a few minutes,” Chen Jing said.

“Oh.” Lu Yanyan walked side by side with him. When she thought of the incident that was reported today, she found it funny and couldn’t help but laugh.

Chen Jing, on the other hand, had a depressed look on his face. He didn’t know how to write about the review in the afternoon.

As they walked, they entered the depths of the alley. Suddenly, five people rushed out from the front of the alley.

“They’re here, Brother Kun. They’re here.”

“He’s Chen Jing.”

A monkey-faced thug pointed at Chen Jing and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Chen Jing knew that the situation wasn’t looking good. These people were clearly pointing at him by name.

Immediately, he grabbed Lu Yanyan’s wrist and wanted to run back.

But when he turned around, he saw that behind the alley, there were three people surrounding them and trapping them in the middle.

“Who are you? What are you doing?” Chen Jing asked as he retreated.

“What are you doing? Kneel down for this daddy and this daddy will tell you.” A man in his thirties with a buzz cut was dragging a steel bar in his hand as he approached step by step.

Chen Jing retreated, but there was no way to retreat. Both ends were already sealed.

“It looks like you guys are here for me, but she has nothing to do with it. It should be fine to let her go first, right?” Chen Jing said.

“As you wish.” The man with a buzz cut dragged the steel bar and did not even glance at Lu Yanyan.

When Chen Jing heard this, he immediately pushed Lu Yanyan away. “You go first..”
