"I really enjoy talking to you. I don't know why, but it feels like you understand me so well." After getting familiar with Yang Xiaoyou in the Library, Huang Ling also spoke softly.
Although on the surface, she seemed far from Liu Lianyue's business-like image, Yang Xiaoyou understood that Huang Ling's demeanor was genuinely like this. However, beneath her delicate exterior, there was also a stubborn side.
Back then, Chen Hao had been shot dead in the driver's seat while trying to save himself, bleeding out on the street. At that time, Huang Ling, who was Chen Hao's wife, received the news and rushed to Jiang Xunqing. From her fragile appearance, one would never guess the tenacity she possessed.
In her memories, she probably blamed herself at that time. Thinking of this made Yang Xiaoyou feel a strange emotion.
"Is that so? It feels like I've known you for a long time," Yang Xiaoyou smiled in agreement.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's response, Huang Ling was taken aback for a moment. Then, with a flushed face and a slightly stammering voice, she said, "You... you're a good person."
"Oh no," Yang Xiaoyou thought. "This is awkward. But it is easy to misunderstand when trying to get close to a girl you just met." The sky had completely darkened by the time Yang Xiaoyou finished his class and walked out of the Library feeling somewhat dejected.
Fortunately, he managed to clarify things later; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face her next time they met. Now looking at Huang Ling's expression, it seemed she had been paying attention to Chen Hao for quite some time; otherwise, she wouldn't know so much about him.
However, as of now, she still lacked confidence and viewed herself as an Ugly Duckling. This could be seen from her volunteering at the Library; her family's situation wasn't great.
Her looks weren't outstanding, she didn't know how to dress up, and her family background was poor. She must have been feeling quite insecure. He wondered if Liu Lianyue's harsh words had impacted Chen Hao so much that he left early without even meeting Huang Ling.
If that were true, Liu Lianyue would have caused quite a bit of trouble.
"Well, my things should have arrived by now," Yang Xiaoyou thought as he recalled the equipment he had ordered. He walked out of the school gate towards the park.
If everything arrived as scheduled, it should be at a storage place near the park. Although there was a high chance of deception involved with such things, it wouldn't hurt to take a few extra steps in this situation.
At this hour, most of those remaining at school were boarding students. The campus entrance and the surrounding streets appeared quite desolate, with the food stalls catering to students beginning to pack up for the night.
Stars twinkled in the sky, seemingly heralding a good day ahead.
"Hmm? Is it that guy again? It can't be that serious, can it?" Yang Xiaoyou thought as he walked along the riverside road in front of the school. After covering some distance, he raised an eyebrow.
With his keen sense of awareness, he easily noticed a few fellow students trailing behind him. Being watched during such a quiet time was certainly not pleasant.
Given that he had almost been targeted by Lackey before, Yang Xiaoyou naturally associated this situation with him. After all, he was the vice president of the student council, and it was quite easy for him to figure out who might be behind this.
He was well aware of the time he usually left.
"Are they really trying to mess with me today? What a hassle. Maybe I should just make them disappear," Yang Xiaoyou thought, feeling a flicker of impatience as he realized that someone was intruding into his daily life.
Living in the Chinese Empire, dealing with troublemakers often meant that eliminating them wasn't a wise choice—especially those with connections; the trouble could escalate far beyond what one initially faced.
If Yujun was just looking to pick a fight at school, then so be it; he could always recover his losses through other means, just like he did with Liu Lianyue. However, if this escalated to involve School Rust Noodles, then...
It wouldn't matter if they were only targeting him for now, but if this continued long-term and they failed to meet their expectations, they might eventually turn their sights on Qi Menglu and her friends.
These concerns needed to be addressed preemptively. If they persisted in this manner, he might have to find an opportunity to administer a 'preventive measure.'
"Is that him? Hey, finally found a chance," one of the figures following a student remarked from a distance. Wearing sunglasses at night and looking somewhat unremarkable, the apparent leader's eyes glinted with an odd expression upon spotting Yang Xiaoyou’s back.
"That's definitely him. But it's strange; why didn't they retaliate when the Common Unity Party was down and out? Now that they're on the rise, they're starting something," another man chimed in. If Yang Xiaoyou had seen this person's face at that moment, he would have recognized him as the one who had identified him after the Mo Wenfu incident—a man with an exceptional memory.
"Those matters are beyond our control. Fei just got into power; we need to perform well too," said the first speaker, excitement evident on his face.
"Ha ha, that's right. But with your assistance, there won't be any problems at all. There's really no need for you to step in for something like this," another man quickly chimed in, flattering him.
They all understood the Gold Medal Enforcer well, having witnessed him effortlessly shatter a bottle with his bare hands. Three or four thugs, who usually acted tough and domineering over them, were easily subdued by him.
"Hey, it's rare to see such a handsome young man with delicate skin; he really is to my taste. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy myself today," the leader, wearing sunglasses, said in a tone that made others feel uneasy.
Upon hearing his words, the others couldn't help but shiver, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.
At that moment, they recalled the rumors they had vaguely heard about the Gold Medal Enforcer's interests. They silently thanked their luck that their appearances did not align with his aesthetic preferences; otherwise...
As this thought crossed their minds, several of them instinctively reached for their backsides.
"It seems like he wants to make a move today. Never mind; let's find a secluded place to deal with this," Yang Xiaoyou said helplessly as he noticed the other party closely following them. He decided to leave their belongings at the storage point for now.
As for dealing with those fellow Force members later on, he figured that as long as he didn't go too far, he could handle some petty thugs without any issue thanks to his family connections and basic skills.
"Hmm? Ropes? Hey, it looks like they don't just want to beat me up; do they really hold such a grudge?" As they passed through the railway beside the city, he caught sight of what the group behind him was pulling out, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
