NOVPUBJiang Yan looked at Chen Nan with a face full of shock, seemingly unable to believe that this guy would actually dare to talk back to her, kindling an invisible fury within her.
"Stinking Taoist, do you even know who you’re speaking to?"
"Hurry up and apologize to the young miss, or else you’re definitely going to regret it."
Before Jiang Yan could speak, the two strong young men behind her rushed to her defense, clearly ready to pin Chen Nan to the ground at the slightest provocation.
Chen Nan didn’t pay any attention to those two young men, and instead looked at Jiang Yan with a smile: "So, you’ve raised two dogs by your side!"
"I’m puzzled, since you can claim to be born a human, why then do you keep two dogs by your side? Isn’t this a bit too hypocritical of you?"
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Lin was so frightened he shivered, his face panic-stricken as he said, "Jiang Yan, you’ve misunderstood, Chen Nan and I are brothers."
The two young men behind Jiang Yan also felt chills running down their spines, feeling a tingle on their scalps.
They didn’t expect Chen Nan to actually call out Jiang Yan on her hypocrisy.
This was nothing short of a slap to Jiang Yan’s face!
With eyes filled with cold fury, Jiang Yan said, "What relationship you two have is no longer important, what’s important is, this guy has made me unhappy."
Chen Nan looked at her with a half-smile: "My name is Chen Nan, from Senior Class One. If you find me unpleasant to the eye, feel free to come at me anytime."
After saying that, he gave Zhou Lin a look, then walked towards the campus.
"Brother Nan, do you really not know who Jiang Yan is?" Zhou Lin, pale-faced, followed behind Chen Nan, with unease written all over his eyes.
Chen Nan curled his lips: "You’re joking, I only just got back to school a few days ago, how could I possibly know her?"
Zhou Lin lowered his voice, speaking with grave seriousness: "There’s a rumor in the school that Jiang Yan is the precious pearl of the eastern city’s big shot, Jiang Wanli."
Chen Nan was momentarily stopped in his tracks.
Isn’t Jiang Wanli the elder brother of Zhou Long?
This was indeed quite the coincidence.
Regaining his composure, Chen Nan chuckled and said, "Who the eastern city’s big shot is remains to be seen!"
"Ah?"
Zhou Lin was utterly bewildered, clueless as to why Chen Nan would say such a thing.
"Quickens your pace, the bell for class is about to ring," Chen Nan said, not elaborating further.
Because even if he told Zhou Lin that Jiang Wanli was going to face a disaster tomorrow, and if he did not leave Jizhou, his life would be at risk, Zhou Lin wouldn’t believe him.
As for whether Jiang Wanli would listen to his advice and be able to survive, Chen Nan didn’t know either.
Chen Nan had not met Jiang Wanli.
But.
He had seen Zhou Long’s fate in his face, that he would become a leaderless general from the next day on.
It was for this reason he had extended an olive branch to Zhou Long, wanting him to work for himself.
However, Zhou Long was a man of loyalty.
Owing to Jiang Wanli’s kindness, he did not wish to leave his side.
Therefore.
He could only convey a piece of advice to Jiang Wanli through Zhou Long.
It could be considered repaying his kindness.
Even though after Jiang Wanli’s death, Chen Nan could extend the olive branch again, and by that time Zhou Long wouldn’t refuse his goodwill.
But he knew.
If Zhou Long were by his side, he would surely discover Chen Nan’s ability to foresee the future.
In such a case, Zhou Long would definitely harbour a grudge, believing Chen Nan had failed to save a life. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Rather than that.
It would be better to win over his heart completely, making him devotedly loyal to himself.

"After class, find a few guys from the sports team, after school, I want to teach this guy a lesson!" Jiang Yan, fuming with rage, watched Chen Nan’s retreating figure, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.
As one of the Jizhou’s top three school beauties, and the darling daughter of Jiang Wanli, when has she ever been subjected to such humiliation?
She couldn’t quell the hatred in her heart without giving Chen Nan a harsh lesson.
A young man said, "Don’t worry, Miss. I’ll go to the sports team to find someone right away."
------
In the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived.
When the class bell rang, a look of relief appeared on Chen Nan’s face.
The day’s classes had finally ended.
Although students in their final year had to attend evening self-study until ten at night, he was exempt from it.
"What are you doing here?"
As soon as he walked out of the classroom, Chen Nan saw a familiar figure, none other than Lu Anran’s brother, Lu Ming.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was Chen Nan’s brother-in-law.
Lu Ming’s gaze was serious as he said, "Brother, did you provoke Jiang Yan?"
Chen Nan curled his lip and, while walking down the stairs, said lightly, "Why couldn’t it be Jiang Yan who provoked me?"
Lu Ming sighed, "It doesn’t matter who provoked whom. What matters is, Jiang Yan has contacted people from the sports team and intends to give you a harsh lesson."
Chen Nan was amused, "Do you think I’m scared?"
Lu Ming had no response.
Previously, because Chen Nan and Liu Yiyi were getting too close, he had led more than a dozen members of the sports team to cause trouble for Chen Nan, only to end up all beaten to the ground.
He knew Chen Nan was incredibly strong.
But.
Jiang Yan, after all, was no ordinary person!
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ming said, "Brother, how about this, I’ll mediate, and you make peace with Jiang Yan by shaking hands!"
"That woman has an extraordinary background, and we can’t afford to offend her."
As an athlete, Lu Ming had some influence in the sports team.
If he acted as a mediator, there was a chance the situation could be resolved.
Apparently realizing something, Lu Ming added, "What I mean is, we shouldn’t let a woman affect our studies."
"With the college entrance examinations approaching, time is incredibly precious. We can’t let external factors distract us from our studies."
"It would be a loss not worth the cost!"
Chen Nan smiled wryly, "Lu Ming, I appreciate your kindness, but it seems you’ve overlooked something. It’s not me who wants to trouble Jiang Yan, but she who is targeting me!"
During their conversation.
The two of them had already walked into the schoolyard.
Just then.
A burly student blocked their path. He looked at Lu Ming with puzzlement in his eyes, then said, "Lu Ming, you’re not tipping this guy off, are you?"
Lu Ming’s face was full of embarrassment, not expecting Liang Zhen to be waiting there.
Though he had some say in the sports team, it was clearly evident that Liang Zhen had more.
Seeing Lu Ming ignore him, Liang Zhen turned to Chen Nan with an expressionless face and said, "Miss Jiang wants to have a chat with you. I’m not asking you, I’m informing you."
Chen Nan laughed, "You’re quite arrogant, huh!"
Liang Zhen snorted coldly, "Chen, you really should not have offended Miss Jiang. She is someone you cannot afford to offend!"
Chen Nan curled his lip, a look of disdain on his face, "Alright, let’s go meet Jiang Yan."
"After you!"
Liang Zhen made a gesture of invitation and then led Chen Nan and Lu Ming away from Jizhou First Middle School, soon getting into a black commercial vehicle.
Ten minutes later.
The van stopped inside an abandoned factory, and as Chen Nan got out, he was greeted by the sight of dozens of sturdy young men from the sports team.
Jiang Yan sat in front of them, sucking on a lollipop. On her innocent face, a mischievous smile appeared, "I didn’t think you’d actually dare to come!"
