Chapter 40: Go, Collect Protection Fees!

  The voice had barely fallen when a cold voice came over; "Is that so, who said we didn't come? Is it you? Yellow mouse." Huang Wen was startled and looked back to see a handsome boy with a group of about twenty students who looked very sturdy walking towards him. When Huang Wen saw the boy, he shivered; "Zhao Yu, this time you actually brought the team yourself?" Chu Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at the boy, who wore a black school uniform with a blue star medal on his left chest, engraved with the character Zhao.

  Chu Feng's mouth curled up into a cold smile; "You're Zhao Yu, the second son of the Eight Kings of Bei Gao?" Zhao Yu helped Liu Hai up, and continued on his own, "Grade one, class three, Class President Chu Feng of the 'Poisonous Tumor' class, combat ability is above average, intelligence is average, once became famous for a solo battle against Hai Gao's Wang Yang..."

  Chu Feng seemed to have not expected the other party to grasp his information, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered up. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu continued; "However, you don't qualify as my opponent yet, I don't want to fight with a bunch of small fries, you guys can leave by yourselves, next time you see someone from Bei Gao, get out of their way!"

  Chu Feng said angrily, "You..." Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light; "Me? What me? You don't believe?" Chu Feng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Yu, thinking to himself. Behind Zhao Yu, the twenty or so burly students glared at Chu Feng's group with unfriendly faces. Huang Wen had long since run to the side, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

  Chu Feng was sneering coldly. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he wouldn't have come to fight with the Northern High's group of savages. Chu Feng quietly put his fingers behind his back and snapped them, but surprisingly found that the time stoppage he had expected did not appear. Sweat dripped from his forehead as Chu Feng was now completely stunned. Without the ability to stop time, they were basically powerless against the Northern High's group.

  Gritting his teeth, Chu Feng kept giving Lin Wan Shi, who had a leisurely expression on his face, meaningful glances, hoping that he would bring Ling Fei over. However, Lin Wan Shi pretended not to see him and started playing with his fingernails instead.

  Chu Feng let out a mournful cry in his heart, "Heaven is destroying me." He glanced at Jiang Xingxiao and Wang Jiawen, then suddenly shouted, "Run!"

  After finishing, he turned around and ran away. Jiang Xingxiao and others naturally knew that they were not Zhao Yu's opponents. Just as Chu Feng shouted the word "run", they had already started running. Lin Wanshuo, however, remained standing in place, coldly sizing up Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu waved his hand, and the students behind him began to chase after the scattered members of Class 8-1. Meanwhile, Zhao Yu himself strolled over to Lin Wanshuo's side. The moonlight shone down on Zhao Yu's face, giving it a gentle glow. In a soft voice, he said: "Wanshuo, long time no see."

  Lin Wanxi was lightly playing with her fingernails; "I don't want to see you, disappear quickly..." Zhao Yu's face twitched slightly, and a displeased look flashed in his eyes, but he forcibly endured it, smiling awkwardly; "Wanxi, you still like to joke around, how is Uncle's body? My father has been thinking of him all along."

  Lin Wanxi hummed, looking down on it in her heart; "Sounds good, but isn't it just wanting to climb up my family's line and defeat your family's competitors." But she said indifferently; "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll have your father come to my house to talk to my dad another day, I'm busy now, see you later~"

  After finishing speaking, Lin Wanxi ignored Zhao Yu's ugly face and turned to walk down the mountain road. Zhao Yu stood in place, watching Lin Wanxi's back disappear into the distance, and suddenly punched a nearby small tree, shaking off countless leaves, and said in a cold voice: "Stinky bitch! Sooner or later I'll make you lie under me and moan!" At this point, Zhao Yu's elegant face became extremely ferocious.

  ……

  Looking back, Chu Feng and the others ran down from the mountain and started sprinting frantically. Slowly but surely, Chu Feng and Wang Jiawen got separated from Fang Zhan Yan. Chu Feng stood alone at the side of the street, watching as occasional passersby walked by. He let out a sigh, pretending to be carefree as he strolled along the road. As he passed by a small convenience store, he took out 10 yuan and bought a pack of cigarettes. Lighting one up, he squatted beside the phone booth outside the store, puffing on his cigarette nervously as he glanced around.

  At this time, Chu Feng only felt a pain in his buttocks, and was kicked to the ground. He quickly got up and wanted to run away, but found himself being lifted up. He said helplessly: "Brother, one must leave a way out for oneself. If you move me, our Eighth High will not let you off."

  Before Chu Feng could finish speaking, that extremely familiar voice came over; "I'm gonna screw your mom, you little rabbit bastard not coming home at midnight and acting like a melancholic singer here, and smoking on top of that?"

  Chu Feng shuddered from head to toe and stammered, "Ling... Teacher Ling." The person holding Chu Feng was none other than Ye Banshi, who had run out of the house to take a walk after being unable to bear the bickering between two women at home.

  Ling Fei felt a wave of fatigue spreading through his hand, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He put down Chu Feng and looked at his slightly trembling left hand, sighing; "What are you doing?" Chu Feng immediately spoke up in a righteous tone; "Teacher! I'm defending the dignity of our Eighth High School! Those bastards from Northern High have been provoking us, saying that everyone from Eighth High is an idiot! Tonight, we're going to settle this at the designated spot on the back mountain..."

  Ling Fei's eyes were full of laughter; "And then what? Being beaten and running all over the street?" Chu Feng scratched his head in embarrassment; "No... it's not, we just made a strategic transfer..." Ling Fei curled her lip and laughed scoldingly; "Don't be ridiculous, hurry up and go home to sleep." Chu Feng shook his head; "Teacher, this is about maintaining a man's dignity, I won't leave." As he spoke, Chu Feng clenched his fist, with an air of heroic sacrifice.

  Ling Fei gave a cold laugh and said with narrowed eyes, "Don't make excuses, you still have dignity? If you really had any dignity, would you be beaten to the point of running all over the streets? Hurry back home, so your sister won't worry. In a few days, I'll go to your house for a visit and chat with your sister about your situation..."

  When Ling Fei used his own sister as a threat, Chu Feng looked like a defeated rooster, lowering his head. But in less than a moment, he raised his head again and said firmly: "No! Teacher, I won't leave. This time I escaped, what about next time? And the time after that? Can I hide forever?"

  A sharp glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes, and his gaze at Chu Feng also became much softer; "Alright, follow me." After saying that, Ling Fei turned around and left, Chu Feng didn't know what was going on but could only follow him.

  ……

  Ling Fei and Chu Feng rushed to the center of Shanghai, where the scene was dazzlingly bright. The endless stream of people flowed like a river, cars sped by on the roads, and luxury cars were parked in front of some large nightclubs.

  Ling Fei, however, simply strolled aimlessly with Chu Feng, the two heavyweight handsome guys wandering on the road may not cause a sensation, but they also attracted many admiring glances.

  Chu Feng was after all just a child, hadn't experienced many such situations, and followed Ling Fei's footsteps with his head lowered, walking carefully. Suddenly, Ling Fei stopped in his tracks, causing Chu Feng who had been following closely behind him to almost bump into him.

  Ling Fei looked at the "Tian Shang Ren Jian" nightclub in front of him and smiled, saying: "Do you know what the purpose is for me to bring you here today?" Chu Feng shook his head in confusion, looking at Ling Fei's smile, a bad premonition arose in his heart. Ling Fei sighed and said: "I want you to become a real man, go ahead, go collect protection fees from this Tian Shang Ren Jian."

  Chu Feng was taken aback, seemingly not daring to believe that Ling Fei had asked him to do such a thing, his mouth twitching; "Ol... teacher, you... are you joking?"

  Ling Fei took a glance at the two security guards in front of the Tian Shang Ren Jian door, and they seemed to have also noticed Ling Fei and Chu Feng, their eyes occasionally glancing over; "I'm not joking, go ahead, I'll be watching from here, if anything happens I'll come in and rescue you, hurry up!"

  Chu Feng took a few steps back, shaking his head like a rattle drum; "No! I won't go! You...this is sending me to my death..." Ling Fei walked forward a few steps and patted Chu Feng's shoulder; "Calm down, calm down! Go ahead, Teacher will be there, don't worry."

  Chu Feng was about to shake his head, but he met Ling Fei's sharp gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth: "Damn it, I'll go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Feng silently recited: The wind is blowing gently, the water is cold, the brave warrior has gone and will not return... With a rhythmic pace, he walked towards the sky and the world...

  Ling Fei watched with a smile as Chu Feng walked into the Heavenly Palace, took out the new phone that Zheng Dong had given him, and dialed a number to call Xiao Lan.
