Chapter 351: Chapter 264: Lai Rufeng!_2
Dan Kaiquan: "This is outrageous."
Gong Xuan looked at the comical scene and laughed out loud.
The redhead youth at the very back was even more dumbfounded than the others—had all his brothers been wiped out?
"Get up, get up!" He tried to stand, suppressing his pain, and shouted from where he stood.
However, the fallen were in so much pain that they couldn’t stand up at all; cries of agony flooded the area.
It’s serious when adults fall, not like kids who just dust themselves off and keep running after a tumble.
If it were an older person, they might end up in the hospital from a single fall.
The youths had charged fiercely, and when they got caught by the stool, Jiang Ning added more force to it, smashing their knees on the cement floor, so it was normal that they couldn’t stand up right away.
Jiang Ning looked down at the several youths on the ground, very close, less than a meter away.
He had no sympathy for them—an ordinary person out with their girlfriend could have been beaten up or their girlfriend harassed.
Just thinking about it was frustrating.
These people just happened to run into him.
Jiang Ning lifted his cola, looking down at the youth closest to him, the one in ripped jeans who had started the trouble with Qiu Die.
Neither party was good, and Jiang Ning didn’t want to get involved, but these guys had provoked him first.
Jiang Ning spoke indifferently:
"From now on, fight to the death if you wish, but remember, don’t mess with bystanders."
"F**k you!" The youth on the ground screamed; he was not one to take things lying down.
He was cut off mid-sentence as Jiang Ning flicked his palm, splashing half a glass of cola over his face.
Suddenly, he couldn’t even open his eyes.
Xue Yuantong intervened:
"Jiang Ning, don’t waste the cola."
She was treating today’s barbecue, and she had paid for the cola.
Xue Yuantong was a thrifty girl; she’d hoped to take home the leftover cola.
"Fine."
Jiang Ning was comfortably enjoying himself until Xue Yuantong called a halt, leaving him somewhat downcast.
He flicked his right foot, delivering a fierce kick to the youth in jeans—a "thud!" sent him sliding across the ground.
Everyone present was inwardly shocked.
Why did Pei Yujing feel like Jiang Ning, with his every move, had more style than those ruffian youths?
Especially his demeanor—colossally cool.
Gong Xuan felt this even stronger; she had always admired "strong people," or she wouldn’t have chosen Deng Xiang as her big brother figure.
She revered strong people, but after entering high school, she noticed that the popular ones were not as desired, and that having money was the real king.
Like Deng Xiang, who recently got close to Wu Xiaoqi, playing basketball with him every day.
Wasn’t it just because Wu Xiaoqi was rich?
For a while, Gong Xuan considered changing her admiration for strength, but today, it was as if she had rediscovered her youthful awe.
An idea suddenly sprang to mind:
"Should I switch camps?"
Gong Xuan was not bad-looking; ever since elementary school, many boys had pestered her, and outsiders had intercepted her, leading her to acknowledge Deng Xiang as her big brother, shielding her from further troubles.
If you can’t beat them, join them—that was Gong Xuan’s survival law.
While she was pondering, Qiu Die and the redhead youth started arguing.
The redhead youth claimed he would find people to mess with her.
But Qiu Die countered, "Believe it or not, we can all gang up on you?"
The redhead youth looked at his wounded brothers; although two of them had managed to stand up, their fighting power was certainly minimal.
He humiliatingly backed down.
The situation quieted down temporarily, and Pei Yujing knew her mother had called the police.
She told her mother, "The one sitting there goes to our school, with top grades, really good."
Sister Ma listened, looked at her daughter, thought for a moment, and stepped up to urge:
"The police will be here soon, run if you don’t want trouble."
The redhead youth acted shamelessly, pointing at Jiang Ning:
"You just wait, you’re done for!"
"Ow, it hurts so much!" He deliberately wailed pitifully.
He switched from his previous arrogance to pretending to be a victim, acting as if he were about to die.
Following his lead, the youths who had managed to stand up fell back down again, howling tragically, each more miserable than the last. To make it more convincing, some even started crying.
Perhaps reminded of sad memories, they cried louder, eventually wailing.
"Get ready to pay!"
Wang Longlong was enlightened that day, and with a hearty laugh, he said:
"Is this a competition for who can act most miserable?"
The youths didn’t stop, continuing to lie there howling, one more pitiful than the next, some even crying for realness, possibly recalling some heartbreak—they cried louder, eventually breaking out into sobbing.
"Prepare to compensate!"
The people around were shocked by their shamelessness.
Qiu Die said, "How embarrassing!"
The red-haired youth cried out, "None of you think about running away!"
Wang Longlong said,
"Stop crying. If you cry again, I’ll film you and post it on Kuaishou. Let the old irons give their comments."
The wailing around the scene instantly froze.
Short videos had started to become popular these years, although 4G hadn’t yet been widely adopted; it was still in its initial growth phase.
But the red-haired youth, they had already started playing with Kuaishou and even uploaded videos.
Striking poses, acting cool, spouting societal lingo, bullying students—they had earned several hundred fans!
Wang Longlong’s threat to film was quite damaging.
The red-haired youth toned it down a lot. He pointed at Jiang Ning, threatening,
"You’re done for. My brother’s leg is broken. If you don’t cough up a hundred thousand, you’re not leaving today!"
He eyed Jiang Ning, thinking he was a student, and students were easy to deal with.
He had once fought with a high school student. They both were taken in, but he didn’t care, while the student had to go to school and was forced to care. In the end, that student paid him five hundred.
Jiang Ning laughed, "Just a hundred thousand? You guys really are cheap."
The red-haired youth was stunned at first, then he pointed at Jiang Ning,
"Not a total of a hundred thousand, but you need to compensate each of us a hundred thousand!"
He clutched his heart and collapsed, "You kicked my chest, my heart condition’s acting up, you have to pay me two hundred thousand!"
Wang Longlong jumped in to criticize them,
"What do you think this is, a vegetable market trying to make a killing!"
The red-haired youth lay on the ground, not getting up.
Pei Yujing was worried. Compared to the group of hoodlums on the ground, she was obviously leaning more towards the good students like Xue Yuantong.
The distant sounds of police sirens faintly began to emerge.
The red-haired youth, ripped-jeans youth, all laughed together,
"You’re done for, you’re done for!"
After watching for a while, Dan Kaiquan sensed that the situation was not good, and he asked,
"Fuck, is Jiang Ning really going to get in trouble?"
Ma Shicheng said, "It’s not that easy."
Hu Jun, "Believe in him."
A few youths positioned themselves to wait for the transport to pick them up.
Once inside, they would give this student a harsh beating!
They had never looked forward to that beautiful sound of sirens as much as they did today.
Just as they eagerly anticipated, under the night sky, three silver vans sped down the road, screeching to a stop in front of the barbecue stand.
The van doors swung open, and a bunch of men came out.
These people were tall and burly, dressed in neat black uniforms, with walkie-talkies on their belts, wearing black gloves, and holding batons.
They gave off an extremely professional impression.
Everyone’s attention was drawn.
The black uniforms briskly ran over and quickly dispersed. The youths lying on the ground, who had yet to finish their exclamations,
Heard the strongest black uniform bellow,
"You dare to steal melons, take all of them away!"
"Ah?"
In an instant, the black uniforms paired off, pouncing on the red-haired youths and others on the ground.
Like eagles snatching chickens, they bagged their heads and dragged them away.
The red-haired youths didn’t even manage to put up a proper fight before the black uniforms hauled them onto the vans.
The black uniforms arrived like the wind and left like the wind.
The entire scene lasted less than a minute. Only the sound of the van doors clicking shut was heard, engines starting up, and then they sped away in a cloud of smoke.
They left behind a crowd of astonishment.
"What’s going on?" Wang Longlong had a face full of question marks.
"I have no idea," Dan Kaiquan was equally baffled, as if it were all a dream.
Gong Xuan, recalling the scene, suddenly thought of a possibility, and she couldn’t help but ask,
"Jiang Ning, do you know them?"
As soon as she said this, it caused a stir.
Everyone’s attention then turned to Jiang Ning, waiting for his response.
Just as the situation had looked dire, they were guessing what would come next, but then the red-haired youths were taken away unexpectedly.
Everything resolved.
A coincidence?
Jiang Ning, facing everyone’s puzzled looks, said, "I don’t know them."
