Chapter Eighty Brothers

  Wu Qinghua watched Qian Youwei walk out, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration: this old Qian really deserves to have been the principal of No. 1 Middle School for so long, he's indeed very meticulous in his work. Actually, it's not surprising, to be the principal of No. 1 Middle School, one must either have a strong background or be good at flattering and being opportunistic, otherwise it would be difficult to handle the relationships within the school.

  Principal Qian's actions were all about putting himself in a safe position. If he couldn't come up with a convincing reason, he wouldn't give himself an inch. And after getting the information he needed from me and confirming the direction of events, he immediately handed over Liu Su-ying's handling opinion to me as a personal favor. No matter what, he himself was unscathed. The only one who ended up losing out was Liu Su-ying, who thought she could control the situation. People who think they can control the development of things are often just pawns that others can discard at any time according to the changing situation.

  Afternoon school just finished, Leng Binghan and Xiao Wei were packing their bags. Luo Hui rushed in from outside, looking flustered and pale, and said to Leng Binghan: "It's bad, it's bad! Sun Zhengfei and Lin Ge have arrived, let's run quickly or we won't make it!" As he spoke, he turned his head to glance at the classroom door, as if worried that they would appear behind him at any moment.

  Her icy cold hands didn't stop, she just glanced at him and said: "If you're afraid, then leave first."

  "Am I that kind of person?" Xiaohan's icy words made Luo Hui's face flush with anger, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He was hesitant and afraid, but to say that he would abandon Xiaohan and run away by himself was something he could never do.

  He gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "Who's afraid? We'll share the good fortune and bad luck together. If I run first, I'm a coward! Isn't that what I'm telling you? If we run, we'll all run together. A hero doesn't take advantage of others." His words sounded righteous, but his slightly pale face and trembling tone still showed some lack of confidence.

  Leng Bing smiled coldly, but his face showed a look of disdain. Even Xiaowei was the same, with a sly and meaningful smile on her face, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all. They continued to pack up their textbooks, stationery, and schoolbags.

  He glanced at the two of them, then turned his head to look outside. Luo Hui's face was ashen, and he muttered "it's all over" repeatedly, but it seemed like he had already resigned himself to his fate. After all, he couldn't just abandon Leng Bing Xue and Xiao Wei and run away by themselves. In the past, people would stab each other in the ribs for the sake of friendship; now it was just a matter of getting beaten up, what's the big deal? Luo Hui told himself this, trying to comfort himself, but his legs still couldn't help trembling slightly.

  Just as Luo Hui was crying and thinking wildly, Sun Zhengfei and another student who had survived the noon incident walked in with their heads held high, leading a large group of cadres' children. The other two students who had been hit on the head by Leng Bingxue at noon were resting at home in the afternoon and did not come to school. This was also Liu Suying's idea, letting the children pretend to be injured so that angry parents could put pressure on the school to achieve her own goals.

  A group of people came in a mighty and majestic manner, with an intimidating momentum. All the students along the way hastily retreated, fearing that they would be affected by the trouble. This group of people had long been notorious in No. 1 Middle School, as they were all sons and daughters of cadres. As long as they didn't go too far, even teachers didn't dare to interfere with them too much. However, their lively nature still attracted a crowd around them, with many following behind, curious to see who was so blind as to provoke Lin Ge. Even in No. 1 Middle School, it was rare for Lin Ge to make such a big show of force.

  As soon as he entered the classroom, Leng Zhenglin stood on the podium under the crowd's gaze, banging on the table and shouting loudly: "Where is Luo Baozi? Where is Luo Baozi? Come out quickly, I want to see who dares to join forces with Luo Baozi and beat up my man! Has he eaten leopard gall?"

  Listening to Lin Ge's eager shout of his own name, Luo Hui was so frightened that he trembled all over, and just as he wanted to stutter out something, Leng Bing Han raised a hand to press him down, giving him a reassuring glance before slowly raising his head to address the cold and stern-looking Lin Zheng on stage: "You're quite impressive, aren't you? You seem even more formidable than the principal, it's as if you think you're the overlord of this school!"

  When he heard someone questioning his authority, Leng Zhenglin's eyes widened in anger, but suddenly he seemed to feel that this voice was somehow familiar. He was pondering in his mind, but Sun Zhengfei on the side was deeply impressed by this voice, and today's experience at noon would probably be unforgettable for him forever.

  He hastily pulled Lin Zhenglin's hand and loudly shouted: "Lin brother, Lin brother, it's this little brat who spoke just now, he was the one who injured us at noon, he was the one, his hands were too dark, I absolutely won't be wrong. Wang Hao, you say is it or not, quickly say yeah."

  Wang Hao was the only one among Sun Zhengfei and a few others who didn't get hurt at noon. His mother is the deputy director of the Market Supervision and Administration Department of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and can be considered a real power holder. Because she's in the same class as Sun Zhengfei, she often hangs out with him. Generally speaking, it's just eating, drinking, and fooling around, where would they have encountered such a thrilling experience like this afternoon? It really scared him badly.

  In the afternoon, he plucked up his courage and followed Lin Ge to take revenge, but after hearing this voice that made him feel a chill in his heart, he was startled, until Sun Zhengfei pushed and shouted at him, only then did he react, hastily stuttering: "That's right, Lin Ge, it's him, it's him."

  "Shut up!" Leng Zhenglin glared at him and said, "You all talk big every day, but when it comes down to it, four second-year junior high students can't even beat two first-year junior high students. And you still have the nerve to cause trouble here? It's really embarrassing."

  Sun Zhengfei and Wang Hao finally shut their mouths.

  Leng Zhenglin turned his head, his eyes searching in the direction of the sound source. At first, he saw Xiao Wei, and then he saw Leng Binghan and Luo Baozi standing next to her. His heart skipped a beat, and his face changed instantly, as if he had been caught cheating on an exam. He felt extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable.

  It wasn't until now that he suddenly remembered, the familiar voice from earlier, wasn't it his younger brother Ling Bing's voice that he had heard for ten years? Could it be that the one who beat up Sun Zhengfei and the others at noon was him. If it were his own younger brother Ling Bing who suffered a loss, no matter who the other person was, Lin Zheng would absolutely go berserk and rush up to avenge his younger brother. However, when had this little brother of his ever suffered a loss from childhood to adulthood?

  But he can't afford to think about who is right or wrong, and seek the truth. What he did in school was not intended to deceive his classmates, but rather just occasionally being rude to teachers and bullying his peers, which wasn't really evil. However, under some unfortunate circumstances, he ended up bullying his own younger brother, which is quite inexcusable and embarrassing.

  At home, Leng Yun and Li Xianfen are very kind to their children, but if they find out about their achievements in school, even bullying their younger brother, won't they get a beating? Although Leng Bingxue never likes to tattle or be a busybody, if this matter angers him, he might tell his parents about it, and that would be disastrous.

  For a moment, his heart was like an overturned grocery store, with all sorts of flavors, and the expression on his face was very complex. However, he still managed to squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than crying, hastily pushing away the people around him, running to Liang's side, and awkwardly smiling: "I said this classroom looks so familiar, it turns out it's your class."

  His eyes were cold and unfeeling, but very naturally a scrutinizing gaze fell on him, and Leng Zhenglin's eyes, as the second brother, had a bit of evasiveness to them.

  Although Leng Zhenglin is seven years older than Leng Bingxue, he's the older brother, but when Leng Bingxue throws a tantrum, he really gets anxious.

  "Xiao Wei, help me out, okay? When you get back, don't mention today's events to the old man." He said this to Xiao Wei, but his eyes were fixed on Leng Bing Han. Xiao Wei was originally a quiet person, and being cautious and timid about fitting into this family, how could she possibly go around talking about these things? Her true intentions went without saying.

  She remained cold and ignored him. He was really angry now.

  He himself rarely flaunts his father's status outside, just doesn't want to become a spoiled brat and tarnish his father's reputation. He also doesn't hope that his family members will become such people. But unexpectedly, his second brother actually relied on their father's power in school and became a notorious tyrant, which made him feel somewhat sad. In the previous life, although his second brother was mischievous and caused trouble, he had never relied on power to bully others. Could it be that this butterfly's wings have such an unexpected side effect?

  "Alright, alright Xiaohan, let's just say that Second Brother was wrong, okay? Actually, I didn't do anything either, we were all just playing together, and we didn't do anything excessively bad." There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

  "Second Brother?" The title completely stunned the others in the classroom, when Leng Zhenglin unexpectedly went up to talk to Leng Binghan, everyone began to speculate about their relationship, but they never thought that Leng Binghan was actually Leng Zhenglin's younger brother, which meant he was also the mayor's son?

  But thinking about it, it seems to make sense. Leng Zhenglin and Leng Binghan don't they both have the surname Leng? The surname Leng was never a big surname anyway, even if they were really biological brothers it wouldn't be surprising. But for so long, this Leng Binghan has been low-key, none of them thought that he would also be the son of Mayor Leng, and his personality is completely different from his second brother Leng Zhenglin.
