Chapter 56: Li Chang's Revenge
Li Chang, a person I had almost forgotten about, appeared before me again the moment I returned to school.
The raid of the Ten Dragons Society did not harm him in any way, and it is unknown whether this fulfilled the saying "A calamity that will last for a thousand years."
Li Chang was surprised to see me and loudly said to several classmates with him: "I heard that Jin Cang was taken away, I thought he was dead, unexpectedly still alive, it's really unbelievable."
I furrowed my brow and couldn't help but say: "How can you talk like that? Do you want me to die, is it necessary to be so obvious?"
Li Chang smiled slyly and said, "How could that be? I wouldn't want you to die. I...I haven't taken my revenge personally yet, if you died, who would I take it out on? Haha..."
I feel like he's changed completely, becoming very fierce and sinister, as if I've never seen him before. The old him, although he was overbearing because of his liking for Du Yifei, would never be as cunning and sinister as he is now, the whole person has changed.
Perhaps it was the Wanlong Society's raid that changed him, I don't know the specific reason and I don't want to know. So I ignored him, but instead pulled Dongfang Yu who came to pick me up, turned around and left.
The school has newly built a student dormitory, which is much larger than the original one. A 13-story building with an area of no less than 10,000 square meters. The entire building was constructed according to the new national standard, and it's said that a lot of money was spent on it.
As I entered the spacious dormitory building, I couldn't help but laugh and said to Dongfang Yu: "It seems that the school has spent a lot of money this time, and the living conditions have improved a lot."
Dongfang Yu also smiled and said, "I heard that it was the government's money to build three such student dormitories for the school. You have one here, our girls' dormitory is also like this. There is another one on the main campus side, but it is still under construction, maybe next month it can be used."
I couldn't help but sigh: "The school was severely damaged after the Wanlonghui incident, but this time the government invested in rebuilding it and it's actually been rebuilt so well, I guess you could say we've turned a disaster into a blessing..."
"Dongfang Yuxiao smiled and said, 'Yes, fortune and disaster are interdependent. Our school has indeed benefited from the misfortune this time. By the way, Huanhuan sister has already helped you register, your dormitory is in room 1011 on the tenth floor. I'll help you move your things up there later.'"
I nodded and was about to head towards the dormitory when I heard someone calling me: "Jin Cang, you little devil are you okay?"
The person speaking was Xiao Lizi, my former roommate. He also came to school. I quickly went forward and hugged him, saying loudly: "You're okay too, great!"
Xiao Li Zi said happily: "I was worried that something would happen to you and I couldn't contact you, so I had to come to school. By the way, Da Zhang is not in school today, saying he wants to try his luck elsewhere. Ah Qiang hasn't arrived yet either, don't know if he's coming or not."
I recall that just a few months ago, the four of us were still together eating, drinking and having fun. Now, only Xiaolizi and I are left, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Xiaolizi also looked reluctant, and said with some difficulty: "They're really not very considerate, saying goodbye just like that without thinking about our feelings."
I thought of something and said, "Everyone has their own difficulties, so don't blame them. I'm still here, we can still go out to eat and drink together in the future, you won't be lonely."
Xiao Lizi forced a smile and only then discovered that Dongfang Yu, who had been standing beside him all along, looked at him with surprise and said: "Your girlfriend? Why didn't you introduce her to me?"
I smiled: "This is my sister, Dongfang Yu."
Xiao Lizi hurriedly smiled and said: "Sorry, I misunderstood. Dongfang Yu, I've remembered your name. My name is Li Guohua, you can call me Xiao Lizi."
Dongfang Yu's face had a hint of redness, and she said in a low voice: "You and my brother are friends, I can't call you that. I'll just call you Hua Ge, okay?"
Xiao Li Zi was overjoyed: "Of course, from young to old, no one has ever bullied my Hua Ge! Hehe... Jin Cang, your sister is a good person, if you have anything in the future, just come find me, I'll do my best to help."
I saw Little Li was very enthusiastic, so I said: "Yu'er is my sister, and it's equivalent to being your sister. Taking care of her is a must. However, don't let your family's Xiao Hui misunderstand."
Xiao Li Zi's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a tinge of sadness: "Don't mention Liu Xiao Hui anymore. Since my family's incident, we don't have as much money as before, she... Ah... I'm single now, very free."
I was taken aback, just thinking of comforting Little Li, when he himself said: "Don't comfort me, it won't be long before we graduate. After I graduate, I'll find a good wife and get married and have children."
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as you're okay with it. Let's put our things down first and then go out to find Zhou Hui later."
Xiao Li nodded and said: "Hui Jie is busy at the hospital, I saw her this morning. Recently, many students have come to register, and the school requires everyone to undergo a physical examination, so they are very busy."
Dongfang Yu also said: "Yes, I have been doing things in the school hospital for several days, it is indeed very busy."
I thought for a moment and insisted on my own idea: "We're not going to play around, anyway I have to take a physical examination, let's just go for the physical examination and take a look at Hui Jie by the way."
Xiao Li Zi and Dong Fang Yu didn't say anything else, they helped me move my luggage into the dormitory. Room 1011 is quite spacious, and no one else has checked in yet.
Xiao Li has decided not to live in school anymore. He goes home every day, first to help his parents with things and secondly it's also convenient for them to take care of each other.
I asked Dongfang Yu, she moved to Zhou Hui's home with Li Huanhuan in order to save 1,500 yuan accommodation fee per semester. I don't think it's right for me to say much about this, I can only respect their own choice.
Li Huanhuan has already signed me up, so I went to the hospital for a physical examination with Dongfang Yu. Xiao Lizi had something at home and said goodbye to us before leaving, but he was still very enthusiastic when he left, saying that we should go to his house to play.
It's been months since I last saw the school, and its surroundings have also undergone a huge transformation. The original damaged houses have all been replaced with new ones. The neat and uniform buildings, straight and wide streets, make me feel refreshed. No wonder many people say that our country's people are very magical, in a short period of time, they changed the entire appearance of the place, it's truly a miracle.
Dongfang Yu kept telling me about the new changes here, as if she were an old acquaintance of this place, and I was just a newcomer.
When I arrived at the hospital, Zhou Hui was helping her classmates with their physical examination. When she saw me, she directly let me queue up and wait, without considering our relationship at all. Dongfang Yu was also called away by her to help.
I was standing idly in the hospital lobby waiting for a physical examination, and I remembered that I hadn't yet sent a message to my parents to let them know everything was okay, so I took out my phone and gave them a call.
Just as I finished the phone call and was about to enter the examination room for a physical check-up, I saw Li Chuan lead a dozen or so people in. He clearly came for me, directly leading them to my front, and loudly said: "Jin Cang, isn't it time we settled things between us?"
I let a classmate behind me go in for the physical examination first, then said: "What do you want to do? It seems like there's nothing serious between us, why are you being so aggressive?"
Li Chang coldly smiled and looked at me with a slanted gaze: "What? You've forgotten so quickly? There's someone between us, Du Yifei, remember?"
I forced a smile: "You like Du Yifei, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Chang's face changed, and he suddenly had a murderous aura: "Are you pretending to be stupid? Du Yifei told me yesterday that you're her boyfriend, but today you tell me you have nothing to do with each other? Are you taking me for a fool? Are you tired of living? Do you want me to let some blood out of you to wake you up?"
His voice grew louder and he became more agitated, the killing aura on his body also grew thicker. I felt that he must have encountered something very unusual, otherwise there wouldn't be such a strong killing aura about him.
I furrowed my brow, and before I could say a word, I heard someone sneer, "Who dares to threaten the Jin family? Are you looking for death?"
I heard the sound and looked over, and to my surprise, it was Li Huanhuan. At this time, Li Huanhuan was dressed in a nurse's uniform, looking both beautiful and pure, just like a real white angel. However, what she said was completely out of line with being a white angel.
Li Chang turned his head to take a glance at Li Huanhuan, and immediately began to stare blankly. The dozen or so people who came with him also started staring blankly, as if they had seen some kind of celestial being.
Li Huanhuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Chang like that. Her laughter was even more beautiful and captivating, and I was also stunned by it.
Li Huanhuan winked at me and said softly, "Jin Cang, why don't you know how to shut your mouth? When dealing with some people, you need to be tougher, otherwise they will think you are easy to bully and will keep looking for trouble with you."
I found it strange and asked Li Huanhuan: "Why are you wearing a whole set?"
Li Huan smiled even more charmingly, took a few steps forward, and whispered in my ear: "I just wanted to give you a surprise. How do I look in this outfit?"
I nodded involuntarily and said: "It's really good-looking... You won't be a nurse in this hospital, will you?"
Li Huanhuan listened to my words and excitedly pulled me towards the physical examination room, ignoring Li Cheng who was still in a daze. I heard Li Huanhuan say in a low voice: "I've also signed up for school, I'm planning to study at the medical college, after graduation I'll become a doctor, what do you think?"
I was overjoyed and hastily said: "Great! If you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future..."
Li Huanhuan was even more delighted and directly sent me into the physical examination room, saying to Zhou Hui who was doing physical examinations for other classmates: "I'll do Jin Cang's physical examination."
"Alright. But you have to be careful, don't make any mistakes."
Li Huanhuan raised her head and smiled: "How is that possible? I'm a future doctor, can't even get this little thing right?"
Zhou Hui stopped talking and went to attend to her own matters. Li Huanhuan then wanted to take my measurements, jokingly saying: "Now I finally know your height and weight, and my understanding of you is even more thorough..."
She hadn't finished speaking when the door to the examination room was kicked open. Li Chang walked in with a furious expression, still holding a wooden stick in his hand.
I knew Li Chang was up to no good and wouldn't let me off easily, but I never thought he'd barge into the examination room with murder on his mind. So I shouted loudly: "Li Chang, what do you think you're doing?"
Li Chang smiled coldly and pointed at me with a wooden stick, saying: "I'll teach you a lesson so that you won't bother Du Yifei again in the future."
As he said this, he suddenly rushed over and raised his hand to hit my head. Looking at him, when he struck, it didn't seem like a normal student at all, but rather more ruthless and cruel than those thugs and hoodlums.
I instinctively wanted to raise my hand to block it, but unfortunately, before I could even stretch out my hand, Li Chang's wooden stick had already struck my head. I felt a loud buzzing in my brain and suddenly knew nothing.
In a daze, I don't know how long it's been, I feel like my head is splitting, and with great effort, I open my eyes to find myself back in the school hospital.
Li Huanhuan was sleeping on my bed, it seemed like she had been guarding me for a long time. I softly called out to her, but she didn't wake up, so I stopped talking and looked around the room's furnishings, feeling both laughter and tears.
I don't know what's going on, but there are actually several big stuffed animals in my hospital room. These stuffed animals are even almost as tall as me.
I don't know if it was my slight movement when I looked around that woke up Li Huanhuan, but she suddenly lifted her head, looked at me and exclaimed: "You're awake? Why didn't you call me?"
I smiled slightly, but furrowed my brow. I felt that after smiling, my head hurt even more: "I saw you were asleep, so I thought to let you sleep a bit longer. By the way, how long did I sleep?"
Li Huanhuan looked at me with concern, asking in a low voice: "Is it still painful? You've been unconscious for 14 hours. Just now, Sister Hui came to see you and said that if you didn't wake up by dawn, we'd have to think of something. Fortunately, you're awake now and it seems like nothing serious happened, so I can rest assured."
I knew she was worried about me, so I pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I'm fine, don't worry." After a pause, I still said: "Thank you for caring about me, Huanhuan sister, I... I'm very touched."
Li Huanhuan suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about? I'm not worried about you, who's worried about you? Don't say thank you or no need to thank me, it's too polite."
I also laughed, although it hurts my head to laugh: "That's right, we're good friends. By the way, how is Li Chang doing? You didn't do anything to him, did you?"
As soon as Li Chang was mentioned, Li Huanhuan immediately glared and said in a cold tone: "I really wanted to shoot him with one bullet, but I'm trying to reform now, so I just beat him up... Hehe, you don't know, Yuer and Huier are even more impulsive than me. As soon as they saw you were injured, they rushed over and almost killed Li Chang on the spot. If I hadn't held them back, Li Chang might have gone to report to King Yanluo by now."
I was shocked and quickly asked: "Won't be? Then... Yu'er and Hui Jie, they weren't hurt?"
Li Huanhuan shook her head and said disdainfully: "The three of us beat him Li Chang alone, how could we get hurt?"
I was puzzled: "Didn't Li Chang bring more than a dozen people? Why didn't they take action?"
Li Huanhuan nodded with a pleased expression: "They were originally going to rush up and help Li Cheng, but I showed them your gun and they changed their minds."
"Gun? How did you get it out? Ah, where's mine?"
I didn't find the gun on me and was shocked again, so I quickly asked Li Huanhuan. Li Huanhuan innocently waved his hand: "How would I know? The police came over and took away your gun, I don't know where they took it either. Don't be heartbroken about that broken handgun of yours, we have many guns that are no worse than yours, just change to another one."
I forced a smile and said, "My gun was issued by the army, it has a serial number, I can't lose it or exchange it." I remembered what Old Chen told me when he gave me the gun, and I couldn't help but get anxious. I hastily told Li Huanhuan, "You quickly go and ask for my gun back, I have a permit to carry a firearm, they don't have the right to take away my gun."
Li Huanhuan looked at me excitedly and said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry, wait until your injury is healed, you can go back by yourself then. I'm still being monitored, can't touch guns."
I remembered her original identity and knew that I had put her in a difficult position in my haste, so I said: "Sorry, I was too hasty, didn't think it through. Let me recover from my injuries first and then go get it later."
Li Huan nodded and smiled: "Are you hungry? I'll go buy something for you to eat, the hospital only serves breakfast after dawn."
I'm worried that there's no food being sold outside now, so I'll just bear the hunger. Shaking my head, I said: "I'm not hungry, just a bit thirsty."
Li Huanhuan smiled gently: "Don't lie to me, you've been asleep for 14 hours and you're not hungry? You're also thirsty, can't you see that the IV tube is still inserted in your hand? How could you be thirsty? Now it's probably too late outside and there might not be any vendors selling food. Just bear with it a bit longer, when dawn breaks, I'll go out and buy some food for you."
I nodded and looked at Li Huanhuan who was a bit tired, saying softly: "Why don't you sleep for a while longer, it's still early before dawn, take some more rest."
