Before anyone on my side even made a move, Xu Fan and Zhou Keren had already started quarreling, leaving Ji Ge and Ba Ge standing by, dumbfounded, thinking, what on earth is going on here.
Just then, Xu Fan glared at Zhou Keren and stretched out his hand, barking, "Where's that pack of Zhonghua cigarettes I gave you during the day? Hand it over!"
"Dream on!"
The moment Zhou Keren heard this, she instantly panicked and clutched her bag as she staggered several steps back!
She looked at Xu Fan with resentful eyes, as if accusing him of taking advantage of her vulnerability.
Xu Fan glared back at her and snapped, "Are you stupid? You're just gonna let these four brothers stand around doing nothing? Hurry up and hand it over, I need to distribute cigarettes to the four brothers!"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ge and Ba Ge burst out laughing. So after all this fuss, this guy was just asking his wife for cigarettes, trying to suck up to them to avoid a beating!
They glanced at their two underlings and said, "I mean, look at this spineless fool; you both got beaten by him? Aren't you embarrassing your big brother here?"
"This…"
The two underlings grimaced; they too hadn't expected Xu Fan, who had been wildly arrogant that day, to now be acting as submissive as a grandson.
Could it be that this guy had been cowed by Ji Ge and Ba Ge?
"Big brother, it can't be that we're just going to let this kid change with the wind and let him go, right?"
Although Xu Fan was being respectful right now, the two men still couldn't swallow their pride and were not ready to let it go.
Ji Ge waved his hand with a smug smile, "What's the rush? If someone wants to show their respect to your boss, I've got to at least give him a chance, right?"
After he spoke, Ji Ge and Ba Ge exchanged a smile, and decided to not lay a hand on him for the moment, standing aside to enjoy the show instead. Seeing this, the two underlings shrugged their shoulders and could only wait patiently.
"What are you standing there for? Where are the cigarettes? Hand them over!"
At that moment, Xu Fan urged again, and Zhou Keren pouted, visibly aggrieved.
Even she wasn't that naive; she understood that Xu Fan's appeasement was just to save her...
After hesitating for a while, she finally took out the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from her bag and passed it to Xu Fan, warning him, "Xu Fan, you, be careful..."
Zhou Keren could tell that these four guys weren't going to let things slide. Thinking about Xu Fan getting beaten up later, she suddenly felt terrible inside.
She treated him like this, yet he repeatedly stood up for her...
"Humph! Little Demon, playing games with me?"
Just as she was feeling wronged, Xu Fan snatched the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes with one swift gesture, and his expression immediately changed. He pretentiously fanned the pack of cigarettes in his hand, looking extremely provoking.
"You, you, you!"
Zhou Keren had an epiphany! Pointing at Xu Fan, she was too angry to speak!
And there she was feeling touched! The guy was just putting on a show!
"Humph! Kiddo, you think you're the only one who can act?"
Xu Fan gave Zhou Keren a disdainful look, feeling completely vindicated with his revenge accomplished. After putting a Zhonghua cigarette in his mouth, he turned to face Ji Ge, Ba Ge, and their group.
"Ahem, my performance couldn't have been so successful without the cooperation of the four of you. Alright, now that I've achieved my goal, you four can scram at once. Oh, before you go, wouldn't mind lighting it for me? Thanks."
"You little bastard! You think you can play us?"
Ji Ge and Ba Ge immediately got furious! After watching this for so long, they finally realized that Xu Fan's earlier cowardice was just to trick Zhou Keren out of the cigarettes in her bag, not out of fear for them!
"I'll show you how to play!"
Humiliated, Gege flew into a rage and pulled out a dagger from his waist! He went straight for Xu Fan with a stab!
The dagger's edge shone with a cold gleam as it thrust forward! Paired with Gege's steady footing, it was a sight to behold, clearly indicating that Gege had put a lot of hard work into mastering this dagger!
"Be careful!"
As the dagger neared Xu Fan's chest, Zhou Keren was so frightened that her complexion drained of color as she cried out a warning to Xu Fan!
Although Xu Fan was a despicable person, he was still her roommate...
"This!"
Expecting the next moment to be a spray of blood, Keren feared the worst and subconsciously prepared to close her eyes, but in that instant, an astonishing scene unfolded!
Xu Fan's left hand lashed out like lightning! It slapped Gege's wrist with what seemed to be a light tap, yet it sent the dagger in his hand flying away!
Immediately after, a kick exploded forth! Gege was sent flying back!
"Playing with knives? You're simply not up to par."
Xu Fan casually brushed off the dust from his clothes and spoke indifferently.
His gaze landed on the two flunkies beside Bage, who was still visibly shaken. Xu Fan snorted, "What can I say to you two? Following a boss should mean following a boss, not acting like a Ge-Ba duo. Isn't that embarrassing?"
"Damn it!"
Provoked by Xu Fan's dual insult, Bage instantly became furious with embarrassment, reaching for the dagger at his waist with the intention of attacking!
At that moment, a shadow flashed! Xu Fan, who was just three meters away from Bage mere moments ago, suddenly appeared right in front of him, and with a kick, sent Bage flying, crashing onto Gege.
"No class."
After casting a disdainful glance at the two completely incapacitated members of the Ge-Ba pair, Xu Fan turned his attention to the two stunned lackeys standing aside.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and light a cigarette for me."
"Yes, yes…"
His sharp command nearly frightened the two out of their wits. Trembling, they bent over in front of Xu Fan and fumbled with a lighter, nervously lighting the cigarette in his mouth.
"That's better, don't bother me anymore, take these two from the Ge-Ba pair and carry them away!"
After taking a drag, Xu Fan couldn't be bothered to look at the four pieces of trash anymore.
Turning around, he saw Keren frozen in place, her face full of shock!
The corner of Xu Fan's mouth lifted in a sly grin as he teased, "Little darling, what's the matter? Got scared, did you?"
"You!"
Keren, teased by Xu Fan, finally snapped back to reality and glared at him angrily, yet her heart was still reeling with shock.
This guy, he's actually that formidable...
And to think she was worried he might get stabbed to death!
"Xu Fan! You're not allowed to smoke!"
Seeing Xu Fan brazenly puffing smoke in front of her, Keren immediately scolded him!
"Hmph, Teacher Zhou, we're not at school right now, you can't control me!"
Xu Fan made a mocking face at Keren, delighting in his mischievousness and driving Keren mad with frustration!
"Aaaah! I'm going to kill you!!"
