"Hehe, true to form, Xu Fan."
Shi Yong, with a conspiratorial grin on his face, said, "Tomorrow at noon, see you on the rooftop of the teaching building."
"Sure, it's a date."
After receiving Xu Fan's promise, Shi Yong returned to his seat with a smug look. He pulled out his phone, tapping away, sending out a text message.
Chen Dongdong saw this and cursed, "Damn it! This guy! He's definitely reporting good news to Chen Sheng!"
After cursing, Chen Dongdong continued with heartfelt persuasion, "Boss, you really need to think this through, Shi Lei and Shi Yong are not in the same league at all! That guy has actual training!"
"I heard he's practiced Taekwondo and his skills are at black belt level! Plus, those experts he hangs around with, if you go, you're sure to be at a disadvantage!"
Xu Fan, seemingly oblivious to the seriousness in Chen Dongdong's tone, just smiled, changed the subject, and asked, "Dongdong, do you know what the best way to teach someone a lesson is?"
"Uh, Boss, what is it?"
Chen Dongdong, clearly confused, wondered why the boss suddenly changed the subject.
Xu Fan said with a smile, "It's quite simple, you just need to stomp on him in the area he's most proud of, trample him until he questions his life choices!"
Having just been played by Zhou Keren, Xu Fan was still fuming, and now, with Shi Yong coming to him, he didn't mind using Shi Yong to blow off some steam.
He thought to himself that tomorrow would be a good time to see if Shi Lei's head was as hard as a rock.
"Dongdong, what are you up to?"
Chen Dongdong, likely not fully grasping Xu Fan's meaning, sneakily took out his phone and started sending a text message.
Chen Dongdong, with a morose tone, said, "Boss, call for reinforcements. Shi Lei is the boss of our grade, and he will certainly bring a lot of people! I have to round up more folks to back you up for tomorrow's appointment..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan, caught between laughter and tears, shook his head and said, "That won't be necessary, facing one person or a group makes no difference to me."
"Ah, that's true..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongdong immediately became disheartened, put away his phone, and sighed, "Having a crowd just means more people getting a beating, so let's not bother. Tomorrow I'll just go with you, Boss, and take the beating..."
"..."
Xu Fan didn't know what to say, so he gave up on talking and lay down on the desk, falling into a deep sleep.
Soon enough, it was time to leave school.
"Hehe, Boss, I'm not gonna walk with you," said Chen Dongdong.
Chen Dongdong's mother worked in the Zijing Middle School cafeteria, and he had to go find her. Shooting Xu Fan a knowing wink, he slipped away first.
Xu Fan hadn't figured out what that look meant when he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze. He saw Guan Shimeng and her deskmate Zhao Yan walking towards him.
"Xu Fan, let's walk out together."
Xu Fan was slightly startled but nodded his head, and together with them, he walked towards the school gate.
The three of them chatted and laughed along the way. Zhao Yan even thanked Xu Fan for standing up to Shi Yong for her before, but Xu Fan, shamelessly demanding marriage in return, immediately turned her cheeks red.
"Xu Fan, my family has come to pick me up, I'm leaving first, okay?"
Soon, the trio reached the school gates, and Guan Shimeng, reluctantly, waved to Xu Fan and ran towards a Volkswagen sedan.
Xu Fan looked at the somewhat understated Volkswagen Phaeton and couldn't help but frown a little.
Despite its modest appearance, the Volkswagen Phaeton was actually priced at over two million. Not only that, there were also two bodyguards standing by the car at that moment.
Both bodyguards had reached the cultivation level of external masters, suggesting that Guan Shimeng's family background was not insignificant.
"Xu Fan, I need to go in the other direction, see you!"
Zhao Yan had also said her goodbyes, and Xu Fan nodded, watching her leave before heading in the direction of his rental.
It took Xu Fan only a few minutes to walk home. Now alone, he seriously pondered how to deal with Zhou Keren once he was back, the little fairy that she was.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a quarreling noise up ahead caused Xu Fan to frown and look over, only to see four flamboyantly dressed men currently surrounding a beautiful woman at the entrance of Lan Sister's supermarket, all of them grinning lewdly.
"Hehehe, little lady, what are you afraid of? Let brother touch your black silk legs, how about that?"
"You! Don't you dare mess around! My friend is a police officer! If you dare to molest me, she... she won't let you off!"
"Oh? Scaring, who are you trying to scare? Your friend, is a woman, right? If she's pretty, call her over to play too? Brother here hasn't had a chance with a police flower yet?"
Hearing the woman's threat, the four goons weren't frightened at all. Instead, they imitated her stuttering speech and continued to harass her.
Watching this unfold, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh! What a coincidence, all familiar faces?
Among the four ruffians, two were the ones who caused trouble at Lan Sister's supermarket yesterday. The other two, presumably, were backup called in by the first two today.
As for the woman being harassed right now, it was none other than Zhou Keren, who was hurrying home.
Seeing Zhou Keren trembling with fear, Xu Fan snorted, thinking that now he could finally even the score!
"My little baby! You, you guys stop bullying my little baby!"
Shouting out, Xu Fan ran towards Zhou Keren, and his sickening call immediately caused Zhou Keren to turn her head and look this way.
Seeing Xu Fan running towards her, Zhou Keren looked confused. Little baby? Is this guy referring to me?
"Ji Ge! Ba Ge! It's him!"
"Right, right! It was this bastard who did it yesterday!"
Having rushed over to Zhou Keren's side, the two thugs who had been beaten yesterday immediately recognized Xu Fan and excitedly pointed at him, chattering away.
"Oh? It turns out to be the two big brothers! Aiyo! My apologies!"
Xu Fan pretended to suddenly realize who they were, laughing and shaking hands with the two men, leaving them utterly confused!
What in the world is this kid up to?
"Big brother, it really was him!"
Seeing Ji Ge and Ba Ge sending over puzzled looks, the two men awkwardly grinned and explained!
You don't hit a smiling face, and after exchanging glances, Ji Ge spoke up, "Buddy, what are you doing?"
"Oh! Two more big brothers! Ai! My apologies, my apologies!"
Xu Fan proceeded as if he didn't see the fierce light in Ji Ge's and Ba Ge's eyes, smiling at them before turning his attention to Zhou Keren, who stood beside him, looking foolish.
"My little baby, have you been naughty again, upsetting the four big brothers?"
"Who do you think you're…"
Even though the situation was critical, upon hearing the words "my little baby," Zhou Keren immediately felt her skin crawl and was about to retort to Xu Fan's remark.
But before she could finish, Xu Fan slapped his hand hard on her skirt-wrapped rear!
"Still dare to talk back, huh? Do you know how much trouble you're in now!"
Intimidated by Xu Fan's glare, Zhou Keren pouted and almost burst into tears, feeling wronged...
This guy, why is he being so fierce to me...
