Chapter Fifty-two: Friendship

  Since Zhang Huban left suddenly that day, Zhao Liya has always felt uneasy and regretful. She recalls the scene of him shielding her from danger, their intimate dance at the park, and his warning before he left. Although she's been spending time with a prince charming-like guy for two days, she can't help but feel annoyed and unenthusiastic.

  Looking at the empty space beside her, Zhao Liya couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and regret. She sighed softly to herself: "Where did you go? Was I too harsh that night? Did I not consider your feelings?"

  It's not just Zhao Liya who is worried about Zhang Huban, the 203 dormitory has such a group of friends, although they are ruthless when it comes to punishment. However, Zhang Huban's two-day disappearance still made them worry, Hu Zhiming, the fatty, successfully lost weight for the first time in his life because he was worried about someone, Chen Youmi, who was already thin and small, looked like an African refugee after just two days, and the others were not much better. Including the day of the banquet, Zhang Huban has been absent from work at Western Paradise for two consecutive days, Liu Xijuan hasn't smiled in the past two days, Zhu Yan has started to offend many customers, and no one dares to provoke these two beauties, even secretly spreading rumors that the two beauties have their periods on the same day.

  Shi Liwei now certainly already knew Zhang Huban's origin, a freshman from the mountainous area working as a waiter in a bar. As for what happened at the banquet, it was not spread due to the face problem of several rich sons, so Shi Liwei did not know anything about Zhang Huban's Wudang disciple identity!

  Looking at the materials collected by his subordinates, Shi Liwei couldn't help but wonder if he was overreacting or if Zhao Liya had a problem with her aesthetics. The sarcastic remarks from Cai Rui, that gloomy man standing beside him, almost made Shi Liwei give up on bothering Zhang Huban. However, these rich kids were all the same, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Since Zhang Huban didn't have any background to speak of, he might as well treat this as a game and play with him thoroughly! A sinister, cruel smile spread across his face, making people shiver without being cold.

  Unfortunately, just now, a report came in that Zhang Huban has not appeared for the past two days, leaving Shi Liwei feeling somewhat frustrated and unable to vent his emotions!

  When Zhang Huban arrived at the dormitory, it was already Friday evening! As soon as he reached the entrance of the dormitory, he heard Hu Zhi Ming's anxious voice: "Lao Xiao, you'd better go back home first and see how your father's injury is. If there's any news from Lao Da, we'll notify you immediately!"

  "I'll go back tomorrow instead. If Boss still hasn't returned by then, we'll report it to the police!" Chen Youmi said resolutely after a moment of hesitation.

  Then several others in the dormitory also talked about Zhang Hu's affairs, their tone full of worry and anxiety!

  Listening to the worried words of the crowd, Zhang Huban felt that there were actually so many people who cared about him, a warm feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, and his unshakeable Dao heart was also shaken uncontrollably for a moment!

  "I'm back!" Zhang Huban shouted loudly and pushed open the door!

  Everyone stared at Zhang Huban in surprise as he burst through the door, each face filled with joy! But soon they came to their senses, and one by one, like wolves and tigers, bared their teeth and pounced on Zhang Huban! Even Chen Youmi, who had been worried about his father, was no exception!

  "Where have you been hanging out these past two days?"

  "I took your place when the teacher called out two names! Hehe, what are you going to do about it, boss?"

  "Beautiful sister Liu is asking you to return her call, hehe the consequences might be quite dire, or I can sell my painkillers to you at a low price first!"

  “.…..”

  "Big brother, since you're back, I'll head home for a bit!" Seeing Zhang Hui return, Chen Youmi finally put down the hanging heart and couldn't help but think of the phone call at home, so he said with some concern.

  It wasn't until then that everyone came back to their senses from the joy of seeing Zhang Hu Pan, and each face was filled with worry again! Seeing Zhang Hu Pan's confused expression, Hu Zhi Ming explained: "This morning Chen You Mi's family received a phone call, saying that his father had been beaten up, apparently because of the fruit garden contract!"

  "It must be that despicable son of the village chief who did this!" Chen Youmi gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with hatred. "In the past, no one in the village was willing to take over the contract for that barren mountain, but my dad spent six whole years turning it into a famous orchard, and our family's situation only gradually improved. But now, that son of a dog, Ma Qi, actually wants to forcibly take away the contract! And this time, I don't even know how my dad is doing, Mom was evasive on the phone and wouldn't tell me anything!" As she spoke, Chen Youmi's voice became choked with emotion, her thin body began to shake, and tears streamed down her face. Ah, yes, they were just a poor ordinary family, while the other side was the son of the village chief - how could they possibly fight against them? Thinking about this painful reality, she couldn't help but burst into tears in front of her good friend, quietly sobbing.

  At that moment, Zhang Hu was deeply moved by the owner of this thin and small body in front of him who was crying. It turned out that he was so worried about his father, but he had been suppressing his extremely worried mood for himself. What a deep feeling it is! Although it's just a true feeling from an ordinary person, it far exceeds all the treasures in the world. It can't be measured by status or ability, and the true feelings of a beggar and a prince are essentially the same, equally the most precious thing in this world!

  Cultivators are also human, with seven emotions and six desires, they can get angry, and be moved! When Zhang Hupan saw Chen Youmi's painful crying, he had an uncontrollable urge to take a knife and stab it into his chest, as if he was on Knife Mountain and in the Sea of Fire. Fortunately, Zhang Hupan didn't impulsively use his sword to kill Ma's family, knowing that sometimes secular affairs are better solved with secular methods!

  Then Zhang Huban gently patted Chen Youmi's trembling and weak shoulders, comforting him: "Don't worry, Uncle will be fine! Do you still remember the old fellow who came to find me last time? He is a person from the Security Bureau, and he has some status in the Security Bureau. I'll ask him for help!"

  Chen Youmi, who was sobbing, heard Zhang Huban say this and immediately stopped crying. He seemed to vaguely remember that a while ago, two people in military uniforms came to find Zhang Huban, and he still remembered their majestic appearance! They must also be officials! Thinking of this, Chen Youmi hastily grabbed Zhang Huban's hand and begged: "Boss, quickly make a phone call, please beg your fellow villager!"

  Everyone else was also watching Zhang Huban with anxious eyes. Zhang Huban smiled bitterly in his heart, did he have to be so tense? As long as Old Man Chen didn't kick the bucket and he himself was around, what was there to fear? As for Chen Jiaying's side, it was just a matter of one phone call from him, and she would be begging for mercy.

  However, under the gaze of everyone's anxious eyes, Zhang Huban also knew that everyone was relatively anxious, and if he had a slight hesitation, he would probably be torn apart! He quickly dialed the phone number left by Chen Jiaying.
