I, A Fei, Shuai Dong, and Pang Hao walked out of the school together. Xia Ying also came out. "Xia Ying, the last mountain climbing competition didn't have a clear winner. Are you brave enough to compete again this time?" I said with a hint of provocation. "Sorry, I'm not in the mood today. Bye." Xia Ying rolled her eyes dramatically and pushed her bike away. I smiled slightly at her aloof figure; that girl really did electrify me just now.
"Jie, don't be discouraged. Just find a suitable opportunity to confess later. Watch more idol dramas on Mango TV to learn how to make her feel moved when you confess," Shuai Dong patted my shoulder. I smiled nonchalantly, "Is it necessary? Brothers, where should we go next? I'm exhausted and don't want to run around anymore." I stretched lazily, feeling like my whole body was about to fall apart. "Yeah, I agree," A Fei involuntarily twisted his neck; after all, we had been exercising vigorously for the whole morning. "As for me, let's just go home and find our own ways," I suggested. Shuai Dong became anxious: "Don't! We finally have Saturday off; we can't waste it!"
"Tomorrow is a long holiday; we can go crazy then," I looked at him with pleading eyes. "N..." Suddenly, Shuai Dong stopped in his tracks, staring blankly ahead. "Hey! Are you stupid?" Pang Hao slapped his face while looking in the same direction as him. "It's them..." Pang Hao's eyes also showed fear. "This is ridiculous." Following their gaze across the street, my eyes widened: it was the three middle-aged men from Spicy Hot Pot who had fought over a seat last time! That Mutton Chops guy was yelling on the phone.
"Shuai Dong, is it them?" I asked. "Yeah, it's them," Shuai Dong replied firmly. "Today we will take revenge!" I glared at the three men. A Fei calmly said, "Jie, don't cause trouble; we can't afford to mess with people like them. Let's just go home and play games." A Fei quickly changed the subject to distract me. "Yeah, yeah, don't provoke them; they are ruthless; they might be dangerous..." Pang Hao chimed in.
"Hey! Where are you guys thinking? I'm not suggesting a direct confrontation with them; let's follow them." We turned around and started tracking the three men across the street. Soon I saw a Police Station ahead. "Shuai Dong, you go to the Police Station and call Police Uncle when I give you a signal; I'll confront those three uncles." With that, I ran across the street.
A Fei and Pang Hao followed me anxiously. When I reached the other side, I saw that the three men were about to ride away on their motorcycles from a parking lot. "Uncle!" I shouted as I ran over. The Mutton Chops guy turned around and yelled at me, "Kid, why are you calling me?" It seemed they didn't recognize me.
"Uncle, could you tell me how to get to West Heng Street?" I walked ahead while A Fei and Pang Hao hid behind a nearby building. "Get lost! I don't have time to chat with you," Mutton Chops cursed at me and tried to ride away. I quickly grabbed his arm: "Uncle, just tell me!"
"You bastard! Are you done? Get lost!" Mutton Chops pushed me down to the ground with a wave of his hand. I secretly made a phone gesture towards A Fei, who understood and called Shuai Dong. Quickly getting up, I leaned against his motorcycle: "Uncle, why did you hit me? I just wanted to ask for directions." People around us began to gather.
Mutton Chops got anxious: "You better get lost! Or I'll run you over!" He revved up his motorcycle angrily. "What are you doing? You can't even spare a kid..." The crowd started protesting against him.
"Shut up! What does it have to do with you?" Mutton Chops' big companion pushed me aside and tried to leave. I pretended to fall down on purpose when Police Uncle arrived: "Everyone step back; what's going on here?" The three men looked uneasy when they saw the police coming.
"Officer, you're just in time! These guys not only cursed at this kid but also hit him..." A kind-hearted lady from the crowd told the police. This was exactly what I wanted; I secretly glanced at their motorcycle and noticed there were indeed knives and iron rods underneath.
I casually stumbled near the motorcycle and discreetly pulled out a knife from underneath it with my right hand. The three men were shocked when they saw me pull out the knife: "Wow! They actually have weapons!" The crowd began murmuring among themselves.
The police approached and started searching their motorcycle, finding two iron rods, three knives, and a steel hook. "You guys are carrying weapons! Push your motorcycle across the street to the Police Station for questioning." They were shoved toward the station with their heads down, completely losing their earlier bravado.
As Mutton Chops reached the middle of the road, he turned back and glared at me fiercely; that look sent chills down my spine—how terrifying! Soon after, people dispersed, and A Fei and Pang Hao rushed over while Shuai Dong sprinted across the street almost getting hit by a car.
When Shuai Dong arrived, he punched my chest playfully: "You really did it; you managed to send them in like that." I smiled proudly. "This time you've messed with them; you'll need to be careful from now on—people like this hold grudges..." A Fei remained calm as always.
I suddenly felt scared; if the police hadn't arrived in time earlier, they might have really run me over or dragged me into an alley to hurt me. Thinking about this made me break out in a cold sweat; earlier all I thought about was taking revenge on Shuai Dong for fun without considering the consequences.
A Fei tapped my dazed eyes: "Stop thinking about that now; it's noon already! I'm starving—where should we eat?"
