"Ba had clarified everything. That guy who claims to be Lin Feifei's boyfriend turned out to be a new school doctor at our school. I just went to the infirmary to confirm, it's definitely him," Li Dawei, Wang Ba's lackey, reported.
Wang Ba raised his eyebrows slightly and curled his lip, "So it's just a school doctor. I thought some high-flung snob had shown up."
"However, Ba, I haven't fully verified the guy's identity. I checked the school personnel records, and other than knowing his name is Tangyu and he's twenty-three, there's no other information. I asked around, and it seems Lin Feifei's dad introduced him to the school. And today, Tangyu came to school in the same car as Lin Feifei. Could it be that there's actually something between Tangyu and Lin Feifei?" Li Dawei pondered with some doubt.
Wang Ba slapped Li Dawei on the head, "Who cares if they have a relationship or not, anyone who dares to mess with me needs to be taught a lesson, and we must drive him out of school. Hmm, I will make him realize how dangerous I am. Zhou Xiaozhuang, you always have the craftiest ideas, do you have any good plans on how to properly deal with that Tangyu?"
Zhou Xiaozhuang, who was actually not strong at all but quite skinny, contrast starkly when standing next to Wang Ba. Zhou Xiaozhuang nodded and grinned, "Ba, how could I neglect the task you have given? The clever plan is already in mind, just waiting for your decision. I just caught three snakes, why don't we throw them right at Tangyu later? When the snakes get scared, they'll definitely bite. Hehe, then —"
"Haha." Wang Ba laughed out loud, pointing at Zhou Xiaozhuang, "Xiaozhuang, that's quite evil of you. But I love it. Getting bitten by snakes must be thrilling. Okay, no time like the present, let's head over now." With that, Wang Ba walked towards the infirmary with his two sidekicks.
Sitting in the infirmary reading a book, Tangyu slightly raised his eyebrows, his lips curving into an almost imperceptible faint smile. At that moment, the figures of Wang Ba and his gang had reached the entrance of the infirmary. Zhou Xiaozhuang suddenly rushed to the door and hurled the three prepared snakes at Tangyu, then quickly shut the door.
"Ah—"
A shrill scream echoed from inside the infirmary. Hearing the scream, all three, including Wang Ba, couldn't help but smirk smugly. Wang Ba, particularly pleased with himself, snorted, "See if you dare mess with me again. Today, this will just be a small lesson. If you're not more careful next time, you'll really get what's coming to you."
Satisfied, Zhou Xiaozhuang expressed some concern, "Ba, why did it suddenly go quiet all of sudden? It's too quiet, isn't it?"
Only then did Wang Ba frown, "Yeah, just one scream and then nothing. Seems a bit too right. Xiaozhuang, what kind of snakes did you catch? Not venomous ones, I hope? Or could it be, this guy is so faint-hearted that he just fainted from the scare?"
Zhou Xiaozhuang shook his head, "No way, Ba. All the snakes I caught are non-venomous. Even if bitten, it would only hurt for a few days at most, nothing serious. Maybe he really did faint."
"Hmph. If he's that easily scared, I'd genuinely despise him. Come on, let's open the door and see," Wang Ba said with a mocking laugh.
Zhou Xiaozhuang pushed open the door, only to see a face at the doorway, wearing a faintly sinister smile, holding the three still-wriggling snakes in his hand. This scene stunned Wang Ba and his gang. What was going on?
"Kids, seems like you're having a lot of fun, so play you shall," Tangyu stated flatly, and then threw the three snakes right at them.
The trio, initially fearless of snakes, started to panic seeing the snakes flying toward them. Especially Wang Ba and Li Dawei, who were so terrified that their body hair stood on end, and they desperately flailed their hands through the air.
"Ah—"
Screams quickly erupted from the mouths of the three, as the three snakes, as if gone mad, started biting them. Each of the three was bitten several times by the snakes.
"Ah—"
Another horrifying scream came from Wang Ba's mouth. Chillingly, a snake had bitten right onto Wang Ba's private part through his pants, which were thin due to the scant and thin clothing worn owing to the weather. Wang Ba, as if gone insane, was hopping and jumping around, his face written with pain and fear. He desperately tried to pull the snake off, but realized it was bitten too tight and couldn't be removed. All the while, Wang Ba screamed and ran wildly.
This commotion caught the attention of some teachers and students, and several figures ran out.
"It seems things got a bit out of hand, slightly out of control. Heaven knows, I never thought the snake would bite that particular spot of Wang Ba, you can't blame me for that. Though, these are just grass snakes, not venomous, so even a few bites won't have a big impact, at most they'll need to lie down at home for a few days. Well, consider it a lesson for these guys. At such a young age, they are up to no good, what would the future hold for them?" Tangyu shook his head, went over and chased the snakes off Zhou Xiaozhuang and Li Dawei. Filled with fear, Zhou Xiaozhuang and Li Dawei casted a glance at Tangyu, then turned their heads and ran off like they were escaping.
The campus of Linshan Middle School became lively for a moment, with Wang Ba running wildly around the campus with a snake dangling from him, drawing gasps and commotions. The school was alerted, and it took several teachers to finally stop Wang Ba and removed the snake, which they killed on the spot. Wang Ba, somewhat overcome by shock, fainted right away. The school immediately sent him to the hospital and notified Wang Ba's family. The cause of the incident also began to be investigated.
Just as he returned to the infirmary and had barely settled in, a figure walked in, complexion somewhat grim.
Seeing the person who entered, Tangyu immediately stood up to greet him, calling out, "Director He." This Director He was the director of academic affairs at Linshan Middle School, the third in command at the school. All of Tangyu's school admissions procedures were handled by Director He, so Tangyu was naturally familiar with him. Seeing Director He's expression, Tangyu knew he had come regarding the incident that had just occurred. Wang Ba's family had considerable influence; this matter would probably require an explanation. Nonetheless, Tangyu was not at all flustered.
"Tang, what exactly happened just now? Tell me everything in detail," Director He said.
Tangyu didn't conceal anything and recounted the whole incident in detail.
"Nonsense, this is simply nonsense," Director He exclaimed angrily after listening, "They are still students, still children. It's understandable that they are playful and unknowing. But how could you stoop to their level, Tang? They played a prank on you, but you were unharmed. Yet, you used snakes to bite them in return, and now look, they have all been bitten. And Wang Ba, most severely, even fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital for resuscitation. Even if it turns out to be nothing serious, Wang Ba's family will surely pursue this matter. How will our school provide a satisfactory answer to his family?"
"I will handle this matter myself," Tangyu said.
"You handle it? Good, I know you have some connection with the Lin Family. Since you are handling this yourself, you'd better ask the Lin Family to step in and resolve it quickly, to spare the school from difficulty. Next time, I hope you will be more cautious," Director He left with a displeased remark and then turned and left.
"How can I let a little kid bully me?" Tangyu said with a light smile, his smile carrying a hint of wickedness.
