"Alright, I happen to know someone quite influential over in Pingyuan County. His name is Black Wolf, and he operates in the gambling scene. Everyone who mixes on the streets in Pingyuan County has to show him some respect. If I give him a heads-up, Li Kun won't dare to trouble you again," Yang Lin said proudly.
"That sounds good, then I appreciate your help," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
Yang Lin patted Chen Haoxuan on the back and said, "We're buddies! Who else would I help? Besides, I’ll need you to help me make big money in the future!"
There are levels to mixing on the streets; for instance, Yang Lin and his crew are a bit stronger than those who operate in the counties. The Black Wolf that Yang Lin mentioned might be quite powerful in Pingyuan County, but if he comes to New City, he will need to keep a low profile; otherwise, he could run into someone even more formidable.
Yang Lin was very efficient. He immediately pulled out his phone and called Black Wolf, who was far away in Pingyuan County. Yang Lin wasn't exactly a big boss, but he had been around for a long time and knew many people in the underworld, including some very influential figures. Therefore, most people who knew him would give him some face.
When Black Wolf received Yang Lin's call in Pingyuan County, he quickly called Li Kun, who was lying in the hospital. Li Kun was excited to receive Black Wolf's call; after all, Black Wolf was the top dog in Pingyuan County. Getting on his good side could mean great things ahead. Li Kun knew Black Wolf through friends and had helped him out in fights a few times, but they had hardly spoken much. Now that Black Wolf was calling him out of the blue, how could he not be thrilled? This was a great opportunity to get closer to him.
However, when Li Kun heard Black Wolf's furious roar, he froze. It turned out that Black Wolf wasn't calling for help but rather warning him not to provoke Chen Haoxuan again; otherwise, Black Wolf would take him down.
What kind of power did Chen Haoxuan have? Even the top boss from Pingyuan County was speaking up for him. The more Li Kun thought about it, the more frightened he became. He decided that once his injuries healed, he would definitely teach Chen Haorong a lesson. After all, Chen Haorong had gotten him into such big trouble; he couldn't let his anger go without confronting Chen Haorong.
Chen Yuebin had been discharged from the hospital yesterday. Now that Li Kun's issue was resolved and Chen Haoxuan's worries were taken care of, he called out Yang Lin, Liu Junfeng, and Ma Yichen. The four of them gathered on the lawn to drink and chat. They seemed to have had a bit too much to drink as they whistled at passing girls and made lewd comments.
One was Chen Haoxuan, ranked first on New City University's Campus Heartthrob list; another was Ma Yichen, a genius young director from Qihang Group; then there was Liu Junfeng, the Student Council President of New City University; and lastly was Yang Lin, known as a notorious troublemaker at New City University. Sitting on the lawn drinking and flirting with girls drew many students' attention from afar.
At the library—a place where girls often went—Zhu Tian also frequented it but not for studying; he went to check out pretty girls. Unlike Chen Haoxuan and his friends, Zhu Tian wasn't shy at all; when he saw timid girls, he'd directly touch them inappropriately. Today was no different as he stood by the path leading to the library with his lackey beside him.
"Hey there, beautiful! Come over and play with me for a bit!" Zhu Tian called out as he spotted an attractive girl passing by.
The girl seemed to know what kind of person Zhu Tian was, so he quickened his pace and left quickly. It might also be that the girl was not Zhu Tian's type, which is why he didn't pursue her.
At that moment, a man of average appearance but with a striking physique stood tall, making any man unable to resist swallowing hard. Upon seeing this, Zhu Tian stood in the middle of the corridor and leered at his target, saying, "Classmate, I’d like to be friends with you. I wonder if that’s possible?"
Zhu Tian's Lackey cleverly blocked the girl's escape route and teased, "Little sister, our big brother has taken a liking to you; why not just go along with him?"
The girl was frightened and crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the wall. In a trembling voice, she asked, "What—what do you want?"
Zhu Tian leaned against the wall with one hand and confidently said to the girl, "I want you to be my girlfriend."
"Please—please don’t do this. This is school; if the teachers find out, you’ll be in big trouble," the girl pleaded desperately.
The more she reacted this way, the bolder Zhu Tian and his friends became. Suddenly, Zhu Tian reached out and grabbed the girl's chest, causing her to scream immediately. "Ah—!"
Chen Haoxuan and his friends were on the lawn while Zhu Tian and his group were in the corridor. It was possible that Zhu Tian didn’t see Chen Haoxuan and his friends; if he had noticed them nearby, he might not have had the courage to act like this.
The girl's scream reached Chen Haoxuan's ears. He quickly stood up and looked around, saying, "Did anyone hear someone screaming just now?"
"I heard it; it seemed to come from the library area," Ma Yichen replied.
"Let’s go check it out," Chen Haoxuan said as he ran toward the library, followed closely by Yang Lin and the others.
As soon as Chen Haoxuan reached the corridor, he saw Zhu Tian and his group surrounding a girl, harassing her.
Chen Haoxuan, holding a cigar, walked briskly towards Zhu Tian and the others. As he approached them, Chen Haoxuan calmly said, "Zhu Tian, it seems you have forgotten what I told you before."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Tian turned his head and thought to himself, "What the hell, how did Chen Haoxuan end up here?"
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?" Chen Haoxuan spoke again.
Just Chen Haoxuan alone was intimidating enough, and now with Yang Lin, who was even more unruly than him, along with the powerful Student Council President Liu Junfeng and the wealthy Ma Yichen, they were a force to be reckoned with. Together, they made it so that even ten Zhu Tians wouldn't dare to provoke them. With a fawning smile on his face, Zhu Tian said to Chen Haoxuan, "It's a misunderstanding, Xuan Ge. This is all a misunderstanding. I didn't see you come in; I'm really sorry. I—I'll leave right now."
"Do you think you can just walk away? Have you forgotten what I once told you? Every time I see you, I’ll make sure to teach you a lesson. Do you remember?" Chen Haoxuan said coldly.
"I remember! How could I forget what Xuan Ge said? This time it’s really a misunderstanding; I truly didn’t see you come in. Can you let me go this once?" Zhu Tian pleaded desperately. He recalled the moment when Chen Haoxuan hit him on the head with a brick and felt a wave of fear wash over him. It was brutal. When Chen Haoxuan hit him that day, he thought Chen Haoxuan was trying to kill him; otherwise, why would he strike so hard? Fortunately, his head was tough; otherwise, he might have been seriously injured.
Chen Haoxuan took a deep puff from his cigar and slowly exhaled a wisp of light blue smoke, the delightful aroma lingering in the air. Then he calmly said to Zhu Tian, "Come here and kneel in front of me."
