Chapter 23: Conflict Erupts Again

  Li Tianyuan never thought that he, who had learned from Qin Feng by copying his moves, couldn't even last two minutes. At this moment, when he looked at Qin Feng beside him, Li Tianyuan's eyes involuntarily contained a hint of fear.

  However, Li Tianyuan's temperament was also quite tenacious. After panting for a few mouthfuls of air, he started to get up again. During the first political class, when he walked, his legs felt as if they were floating, and several times he almost fell to the ground.

  "Qin Feng, this thing you taught me... is it really useful?" Li Tianyuan grabbed Qin Feng who was walking by and asked panting heavily, looking like he had just run fifty laps on the playground.

  "Of course it's useful, you'll know after practicing for half a year."

  Qin Feng didn't think Li Tianyuan could hold on, glanced at the distant wall and whispered: "See that wall? Practice for half a year, and with your leg strength, you can jump over it."

  Qin Feng didn't want to teach Li Tianyuan martial arts at first, but since he was discovered escaping from prison and Li Tianyuan had been pestering him, and although Li Tianyuan was a bit rough around the edges, he was very loyal, so Qin Feng taught him some basic skills.

  "I'm leaving in a bit more than a year, what's the point of jumping over that wall?"

  Li Tian rolled his eyes, but thinking that he could have a good time, he became excited and kept calculating in his mind, waiting to be released from prison to teach Nie Yuandong a lesson.

  Thinking of this, Li Tianyuan suddenly raised his head and looked for Nie Yuandong in the crowd. That kid was going to be released from prison tomorrow, which made Li Tianyuan very resentful since he had been sentenced to an additional year and a half for the same case as Nie Yuandong.

  Last time they fought, Li Tianyuan knew that Nie Yuandong was the one who stirred up trouble, so he rushed to Nie Yuandong's face and punched him hard. However, he ended up getting hurt even more. Now, he is looking for an excuse to beat up Nie Yuandong again.

  "Damn it, he's just lucky."

  After searching for a while in the crowd, Li Tianyuan still didn't see Nie Yuandong's figure, and after muttering a curse, he followed the crowd to the cafeteria.

  Li Tianyuan didn't notice, however, that in the crowd, a pair of sinister eyes had been staring at him all along. Several times when Li Tianyuan's gaze swept over, Nie Yuandong hid behind someone else.

  "Qin Feng, you're growing up now, eat more!"

  After arriving at the prisoner's cafeteria, Li Tianyuan habitually collected all the eggs of several people in the cell into his own plate. He took a glance at Qin Feng, hastily picked up two eggs and handed them over, only then sitting down behind Qin Feng.

  Since the broadcast of that juvenile delinquent film, the attention to juvenile delinquents has increased a lot everywhere. Every week, in addition to meat and fish, eggs are also distributed every three days during dinner time.

  Of course, ordinary young people can't eat it. Every time they have a meal, they have to clip the meat in their bowl for the old master of the monitoring room, let alone the eggs that can only be eaten once every three days.

  "Ah? Okay."

  Dazed Qin Feng nodded, not declining the offer. His mind hadn't been on his rice bowl from yesterday to now. Qin Feng had been guessing all along which official was so kind as to have him sent back?

  This matter will not be settled in a day, and Qin Feng will not have peace of mind. From morning exercises to dinner now, his eyes have been wandering on those instructors.

  After racking his brains for a whole day, Qin Feng still couldn't figure out what was going on and could only shift his attention back to the steamed buns, eating them with big mouthfuls in a fit of pique. If it weren't for that person yesterday, he would have escaped from this place long ago.

  "Huh? What's wrong with this person? They're a bit strange!"

  Qin Feng, who was peeling an egg, suddenly saw a young man walking towards him. However, this young man's right hand wasn't holding a rice bowl, but was behind his back, and his expression looked very tense.

  Since the age of seven, Qin Feng's living environment has been filled with ridicule and contempt. He had an unusually keen sense of others' hostility towards him, or it could be said that he was sensitive.

  At this time, Qin Feng felt that the young man coming towards him had his muscles tense all over, he should not have learned to hide his emotions yet. When he was three or four meters in front of Qin Feng, his speed suddenly accelerated.

  "Are you coming for me?"

  Qin Feng's first reaction was that the man was coming for him, but just as he raised his hand, he found that the man's body had already passed his dinner table.

  The person's right hand, which was behind his back, had also come out at this time. In his right hand, a chopstick with one end sharpened to a point was tightly clenched.

  "It's meant for Li Tianyuan!"

  Several thoughts flashed through his mind, just for an instant. Although he didn't have a good impression of Li Tianyuan, Qin Feng subconsciously stretched out his right foot and tripped over the young man's leg.

  The young man was charging towards Li Tianyuan with a face full of murderous intent, his eyes didn't even notice anyone else, how would he think that there was an extra leg under him? At this moment, his body stumbled and suddenly fell headfirst towards Li Tianyuan.

  When people lose their balance, they always unconsciously stretch out both hands. The young man was no exception. As his body leaned forward, his right hand involuntarily pressed against the table in front of him.

  "Crack!" With a loud noise, the chopstick with its tip sharpened to a point was pressed against the table but couldn't withstand the boy's weight and snapped in half.

  "What do you want to do?"

  Li Tianyuan, who was much less vigilant than Qin Feng, only raised his head when the man rushed forward, but when he saw the chopstick, his face changed drastically.

  The young man didn't know why he suddenly tripped and fell, saw the chopstick break at a sharp point, and immediately took advantage of the momentum to charge forward, stabbing towards Li Tianyuan's chest.

  Li Tianyuan didn't like to think too much, but having mixed with society since he was around ten years old, his experience in fighting was indeed very rich. Seeing that he couldn't dodge it anymore, he exerted himself and kicked forward with his right foot, causing his body, along with the chair, to fall backwards.

  "Beaten to death!"

  Li Tianyuan kicked the young man in the abdomen with one foot, shouting loudly. He could feel that the other party really wanted his life.

  This shout suddenly made the cafeteria lively, and several duty instructors rushed over to pin the boy to the ground.

  "Discipline him... He's going to kill me!"

  Li Tianyuan pointed at the half chopstick on the ground, his face somewhat pale. No matter how brave he was, he was still just a sixteen-year-old kid, and when death really came knocking, he would still feel fear.

  The young man said loudly: "I didn't, I was wrestling and accidentally bumped into him."

  "Zhou Xiaoming, what are you trying to do? What's going on with this chopstick?"

  The duty officer was also sweating, as the society is paying close attention to these juvenile delinquents. If something really goes wrong, they might not be able to bear this responsibility either.

  "I don't know, the chopsticks I got today are like this."

  The boy's mouth was very hard, but after lifting his head, his eyes were looking in one direction towards the crowd.

  Nie Yuandong in the crowd dodged the boy's gaze, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Damn it, useless thing, can't even handle this!"

  Nie Yuanlong's family was quite well-off, and by '93, they were among the first to get rich. As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together," so the kids he hung out with were mostly from wealthy families too.

  Nie Yuanlong mixed with society, not for money, but was infatuated by those Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. They thought being feared by others was a matter of great pride.

  Nie Yuandong, who had been living in a honey jar since childhood, never thought that he would suffer such a great loss. Not only was his best brother killed by Li Tianyuan's men, but he himself also fell into captivity.

  This made Nie Yu Long hate Li Tian Yuan to the bone, and there had been no lack of conflicts in prison for over a year, but his combat value was too low, and he had always been unable to do anything to Li Tian Yuan.

  Seeing that he was about to be released from prison, Nie Yuandong's desire for revenge against Li Tianyuan became more and more urgent. After thinking for several days, he came up with a plan.

  Before entering prison, Nie Yuanlong had watched a movie called "Prison Storm" which had a scene of killing with chopsticks, but now it was being used against him.

  As for the chopstick, Nie Yuandong secretly took it out of the cell and sharpened it himself. He had originally wanted to do it himself, but as a spoiled rich kid who was used to bullying others since childhood, he didn't have the guts.

  Those who were detained in the prison, to put it bluntly, were criminals. In fact, they were just kids. Under Nie Yuanlong's incitement, a young man actually dared to take action, and then the scene above happened.

  When he saw that the young man had fallen to his death, Nie Yuandong also let out a sigh of relief. If this matter were to implicate him, he would not be able to leave tomorrow.

  "Everyone honestly eats their meal, after finishing they will return to their cells, today's outdoor exercise is cancelled!"

  The report of Hu's arrival was met with a loud roar, causing all the young people to lower their heads. This old man is not easy to mess with, and if he's in a bad mood, he might just make these innocent people run around the playground for fifty laps.

  "Qin Feng, thank you..."

  After the young man was taken away, Li Tianyuan, who was standing beside Qin Feng, whispered a sentence, he's not stupid, and he knew that the man's kick wasn't for nothing.

  "For crying out loud! How did you little scamp get into trouble again? I'm putting you in solitary confinement for a day!"

  Yu Nu's anger had not dissipated, Hu Bao Guo's ears were very useful, he glared at Li Tian Yuan with one eye, and didn't care that this guy was the victim. In his opinion, a slap in the face wouldn't make a sound, let alone Li Tian Yuan who had never been a good bird anyway.
