Chapter Thirty-Eight: Mutual Destruction

  Back in the dormitory, Liu Shuai kept asking me secretly, what's going on? Is San Jie helping or not?

  I nodded, and my face didn't look too bad.

  Liu Shuai asked me what's wrong, did something happen?

  I shook my head and said no.

  Third sister is not Hei Zi, but even if she were, it would be impossible for her to intervene in our first year affairs. Last time in the gymnasium, I and Third Sister completely lost face to Gao Tianwei, this time looking for Gao Tianwei to negotiate, will definitely suffer embarrassment, this point is not worth mentioning.

  The next day, when Liu Shuai and I went to the classroom, we saw Zhang Kun at the door of the classroom. Zhang Kun came alone, with no one behind him. Zhang Kun has a mean streak, he's not afraid of being beaten, as long as I make a move, he'll go to the class director to tattle, very despicable, but also very effective.

  "Hey, you've finally arrived, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhang Kun said with a smile when he saw me.

  "What's wrong, can't hold it in?" I looked at Zhang Kun with disdain.

  "To be honest, there's one thing, from junior high to now, you're the first person who has played me, and it's precisely because of this that I've gained interest in continuing to play. To be honest, I really want to be noble once, wait for a while until your wings are full and then take you down. However, Wei Ge doesn't want to give you the opportunity to turn things around." Zhang Kun said with a somewhat disappointed expression, looking at me.

  "Haha, it seems I should be honored to have made the great Gaotianwei feel apprehensive." I said with a smile, savoring the irony.

  "Wei Ge is a cautious person, just doesn't want to make any mistakes." Zhang Kun coldly smiled and said "Your guts are too big, a newcomer with no background dares to take on the four of us, it seems like you must have some backing behind you"

  "Is it Xu Long?" Zhang Kun said with disdain and certainty.

  "What if it is? What if it isn't?"

  "Needless to say, in our first year of high school, there was only one person who had the guts and the ability to dare oppose us, and that was Xulang. No need to guess." Zhang Kun smiled and said "I'm here to tell you two things."

  "What about those two?" I asked unintentionally.

  "The first thing is to kindly remind you that Xu Long is not your friend. He helps you, of course, with his own purpose. Don't be fooled and still help him count the money."

  "Secondly, Zhang Han is my man. You hit him, that means you don't give me face. From today on, your people will have to be more careful." Zhang Kun coldly threatened us.

  "If you have the guts, come at me! Don't lay a hand on my brother!" I immediately shot back at Zhang Kun, my tone somewhat agitated.

  "Haha, now you're saying this? Is it interesting? It's too late for that. Zhang Han being a big mouth in your class was my doing, I suppose you're aware of that too. You hit Zhang Han just to give me a warning shot, right?" Zhang Kun chuckled and said "Unfortunately, this warning shot didn't intimidate me, but instead enraged me, making me think of ways to deal with you."

  "I've been thinking of ways to make you suffer, thanks, now I have it. That is, one by one, drag your brothers into the toilet and beat them up." Zhang Kun said with a smile "This method is really great, don't you think, Li Jie?"

  Doing so will only lead to mutual destruction

  "Are you going to die with the net broken? I've had a list of your people in my hands for a long time, just over a dozen people. To me, they're nothing. Zhang Kun looked at me disdainfully "But my people are at least two or three times more than yours. Do you think you can still have the fish die with the net broken?"

  Zhang Kun finished speaking and left, Liu Shuai and Pangzi were both scared.

  Liu Shuai spoke up and said "Is this Zhang Kun going to take us on one by one? In that case, it's better to just come out and have a one-on-one duel like last time with He Shuai."

  I shook my head, "Zhang Kun is Zhang Kun, He Shuai is He Shuai. If we invite him, that would be exactly what he wants. Let's take it one step at a time and tell our brothers to be careful and vigilant. If anything goes wrong, run quickly."

  "Brother Jie, if it's like this, our reputation will be ruined!" Liu Shuai frowned, very dissatisfied. "Besides, there are still some people watching us to see if they want to join us or not. If your words get out, definitely no one will look for us again."

  "In this situation, where do we have the energy to recruit soldiers and buy horses? Let's just focus on self-preservation first." I furrowed my brow. "No one would be foolish enough to follow us at this critical juncture, unless that person is out of their mind."

  "A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. If it is not felled, one day it will become a towering giant." I said to myself quietly, as long as I can get through this difficult time, I believe my future will be even brighter.

  These past few days, I haven't gone to look for Cao Na because I'm afraid Zhang Kun will make a move when I go find her. Zhang Kun's thoughts are so meticulous, if he can even get his hands on my brother's list, then Cao Na's situation naturally won't be able to escape him either.

  With Zhang Kun's despicability, he would definitely make a move when I go find Cao Na, making me lose face in front of my woman.

  Just one day passed, and several people were beaten up. Li Tian, Li Ming and a few others were all beaten up. Shi Meng and Liu Kai would have also been beaten if they hadn't run away quickly.

  In the evening, I gathered them in the back courtyard of Cao's residence to discuss how to respond.

  There are still several days before the weekend, how can we possibly get through the three sisters' reunion smoothly? This is the difficulty in front of me.

  On the back of Cao's stage, Shi Meng was the first to raise his head. "Brother Jie, this can't go on like this. Look at our brothers now, they're all being chased and beaten by others every day, and even if they get knocked down, they don't stop. Our friends are even afraid to walk with us together, fearing that we'll drag them down too. And the thugs from high school are laughing at us. If we don't fight back, we'll never be able to hold our heads up again!" "Or else, let's make a move, and have another battle. Even if I die, I'll take one of those losers down with me!" Shi Meng said furiously.

  "Right, Brother Jie, even if I die, I'll drag that Zhang Kun down with me." Li Tian said angrily, "This way we can't live too miserably either."

  I took a glance at everyone's faces, they all looked terrible. I counted the number of people and horses again, and it seemed that some were missing, looks like someone wants to quit!

  This is not a good phenomenon.

  I lit a cigarette for myself, remained silent for a long time, and when the cigarette went out, no one came to disturb me, perhaps they were intimidated by the solemnity on my face.

  Finally, I threw the cigarette on the ground and said fiercely "Fight!"

  "Hit? How to hit?" Zhao Tian walked a few steps forward and said, "Zhang Kun has bullied us so much, we must fight back. The key is how to do it. With so many brothers under Zhang Kun's command, if we do it openly, we will definitely be on the road to death. Jie Ge, you'd better think of a way."

  "Beat Zhang Kun, beat him to the worst, from tomorrow on, you three or five people together, keep finding opportunities, I don't believe Zhang Kun will always have someone following him. As long as Zhang Kun is alone, give me a good beating, beat him to death, even if he's hospitalized, all medical expenses will be borne by me. Even if we're taken to the police station, it doesn't matter, I'll go bail you out later. In short, just beat Zhang Kun, spare others for now. This time we must make him suffer, make him afraid!" I frowned and said "We're in this together, this is our only chance!"

  "It's a good opportunity for us, but Brother Jie!!" Liu Kai couldn't help but furrow his brow "If we go after Zhang Kun, Zhang Kun's people will also come after you!"

  "Don't worry, I have Strong Brother and Third Sister backing me up, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me." I reassured everyone. "Starting from tomorrow, you'll all begin doing things my way."

  "But..."

  "Alright, nothing more can be done, it's getting late, disperse!" I said sternly with a frown.

  After everyone left, Liu Kai didn't leave, and he asked me "Is it worth doing this?"

  "We're going to hit Zhang Kun, and Zhang Kun's people will come after you too. We don't have many chances of winning, but if we provoke Zhang Kun, you'll be done for. Everyone knows that San Jie and Qiang Ge are formidable, but their reach isn't that long." Liu Kai said worriedly, "They'll beat you to death."

  "It's just a trip to the hospital at most!" I shrugged and pretended to be calm.
