Is trouble coming so soon?
Fang Yu slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Hehe, let's talk outside. It's not suitable to talk here," He Donglin said, a slightly threatening smile spreading across his face.
Fang Yu didn't say anything more and just nodded.
Subsequently, Fang Yu followed He Donglin and a few others to the stairwell corner.
There were four boys standing beside He Donglin, all of them were his regular lackeys.
The five of them surrounded Fang Yu.
He Donglin stood in front of Fang Yu and asked in a condescending tone, "Fang Yu, do you really know Tang Xiaorou or not?"
"I met her once before, but we're not really acquainted," Fang Yu answered truthfully.
"Not acquainted? Then why did Tang Xiaorou transfer to our class and ask to be your deskmate?" He Donglin questioned again.
He Donglin's tone was quite unfriendly, but Fang Yu didn't care.
"Because she needs something from me," Fang Yu replied once more.
"Tang Xiaorou needs something from you? Hahaha, are you joking? Tang Xiaorou is a wealthy young lady. How could she need something from a good - for - nothing like you who just loafs around?" He Donglin sneered.
His four lackeys also burst out laughing.
Fang Yu smiled too, but remained silent.
After laughing for a while, He Donglin asked again, "Fang Yu, tell me the truth. Does Tang Xiaorou have some kind of把柄 in your hands?"
"No," Fang Yu shook his head.
"Really not?" He Donglin stared intently at Fang Yu's face.
Fang Yu was too lazy to respond.
"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't answer. But anyway, find a way to change your seat. When I come to the classroom tomorrow, I don't want to see Tang Xiaorou sitting with you. Understand?" He Donglin said in a commanding voice.
"I'll try," Fang Yu yawned. "Can I go now? I'm hungry."
"You can go, but I hope you remember what I said. Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about our two - year classmates' friendship," He Donglin sneered.
Thanks to his wealthy family and having a few lackeys around, He Donglin had always been extremely arrogant and overbearing in Class 2. No one in the class dared to provoke him.
And Fang Yu, who was so unremarkable, seemed to He Donglin like a completely harmless good - for - nothing.
Seeing Fang Yu leaving slowly, Hu Tao beside him asked, "Donglin - ge, will he listen to you? I think he must have some handle on Tang Xiaorou. If we can find out, you might be able to make Tang Xiaorou be interested in you..."
"Don't rush. There are too many people in school now. We can't make too much of a commotion. Don't worry. If this good - for - nothing doesn't listen, we'll have plenty of chances to 'communicate' with him," He Donglin said coldly.
Fatty Liu was waiting for Fang Yu at the classroom door. When he saw Fang Yu come back unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Fang Yu, next time He Donglin asks you to go out alone, don't go. Never go. This guy is not someone to be trifled with," Fatty Liu said.
"Oh," Fang Yu nodded.
"You may not be very clear, but He Donglin's family runs a construction company. His father is very powerful in Jianghai City. We ordinary people can't afford to mess with him!" Fatty Liu said anxiously, seeing that Fang Yu didn't seem to care much.
Fang Yu didn't say anything.
During the break in the afternoon, Fang Yu went to the office and asked the class advisor, Huang Hai, to change his seat.
Huang Hai flew into a rage and scolded, "Fang Yu, do you think the school is run by your family? You can change seats whenever you want? Besides, with your situation, being able to be deskmates with Tang Xiaorou... You should be grateful instead of being ungrateful!"
Obviously, in Huang Hai's eyes, Tang Xiaorou's words carried much more weight than Fang Yu's. It was impossible for Fang Yu to succeed in applying for a seat change.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't try to change seats anymore.
Fang Yu returned to the classroom and sat back in his seat.
Throughout the afternoon, He Donglin and Hu Tao in the front row turned around several times, reminding Fang Yu with threatening looks.
When the school bell rang, Tang Xiaorou packed her schoolbag and said to Fang Yu with a smile, "Fang Yu, see you tomorrow. In the following days, I will definitely help you review well."
Fang Yu pretended not to hear, but everyone around heard it.
Before leaving the classroom, He Donglin walked up to Fang Yu and sneered, "Fang Yu, don't forget what I said this morning. Otherwise..."
Fang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and left before He Donglin could finish his sentence.
Looking at Fang Yu's departing back, a hint of viciousness flashed in He Donglin's eyes.
A good - for - nothing dares to look down on me, He Donglin?
"Donglin - ge, should we follow him out and have a 'good talk' with him now?" Hu Tao beside him asked.
He Donglin waved his hand and said coldly, "No need. Since our classmate Fang Yu doesn't want to change seats, we'll just 'help' him out!"
...
There were several small hills beside the urban village where Fang Yu's home was located.
At the foot of one of the small hills, Fang Yu had a vegetable garden with various kinds of green vegetables planted in it. Every two days, he would come here to water the vegetables and then pick some to cook at home.
Today was the same as usual. Fang Yu came to the vegetable garden and carried two buckets to a nearby stream to get water.
Just as he put the buckets into the stream, Fang Yu noticed that there was a layer of dark red liquid floating on the usually clear stream. At the same time, he could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.
It was blood floating on the stream!
Damn it! The originally clean stream was polluted by blood like this!
Fang Yu frowned, stood up, and then walked upstream along the stream.
After walking over a small slope, Fang Yu saw about thirty meters ahead, a woman in a slightly tattered black OL uniform was staggering along the stream, covering her left arm.
The blood was flowing from her left arm and dripping into the stream.
Seeing Fang Yu, the woman's eyes lit up with hope, and she shouted with all her might, "Help, help!"
"Ji Rumei, Miss Yang wants you dead. No one can save you today!" A thick male voice came from behind the woman.
Two men in black suits and sunglasses chased after the woman and stopped about twenty meters behind her. Both of them were holding pistols with silencers.
Fang Yu didn't plan to meddle in other people's business and was about to turn around and leave.
But the two men also saw Fang Yu.
"Who are you!?" One of the men raised his pistol and pointed it at Fang Yu.
What kind of day is this? Why am I always running into such bad luck?
Fang Yu said helplessly, "I'm just a passer - by. Don't worry. I didn't see or hear anything."
Hearing Fang Yu's words, the injured woman felt as if her world had gone dark, and she was filled with despair.
The two men looked at each other, and a fierce light flashed in their eyes.
What they had said just now must not be leaked.
In this desolate place, killing one person was the same as killing two.
"Kid, blame your bad luck," the man with the pistol said as he pulled the trigger.
"噗!"
A bullet shot towards Fang Yu's chest.
In a split second, Fang Yu disappeared from the spot.
The bullet actually missed.
"Sigh, why do you have to provoke me? I just wanted to get some water to water the vegetable garden," Fang Yu's sigh came from the air.
Before the two men could react, Fang Yu appeared less than one meter in front of them.
Fang Yu stretched out his right hand and slapped the man in front of him.
Crack!
The man's head was directly twisted to the back, his facial features distorted, and he fell straight backward.
The companion beside him was so frightened that his guts almost burst. With a scream, he turned to run.
But Fang Yu didn't give him a chance. He directly punched him.
In just a moment, the man who tried to run also fell to the ground. His eyes were bulging, full of fear.
The two men who were still alive five seconds ago had fallen down in an instant.
Fang Yu's eyes were calm, without a single ripple.
He hadn't wanted to take action and had promised not to say anything, but these two still wanted to kill him. There was nothing he could do about it.
You don't mess with me, and I won't mess with you.
If you mess with me, I'll eliminate you.
After dealing with the two men, Fang Yu turned around and looked at the woman with a gunshot wound.
At this time, the woman was also staring at Fang Yu with wide eyes.
Those two killers were taken care of just like that?
Who on earth is this man? Is he even from Earth?
The woman had lost a lot of blood and was already very weak. Now, her mind was shocked again, and for a moment, her brain lacked blood supply, so she fainted.
