Chapter 65: Being Frank with Xu Long

  I and Xu Long arrived at the night market, casually found a small table, and brought over two cases of beer.

  "What's with all this?" I looked at Xu Long in surprise. "What's wrong, what happened, don't scare me!"

  Although Xu Long and I are not close brothers, seeing him so downhearted still makes me feel a bit uneasy, after all, I still have high hopes for him to achieve great things.

  Xu Long fell silent for a moment, then frowned and asked me seriously, "Li Jie, wasn't my performance today particularly poor?"

  "No"

  "Really? You're kidding me, right? Today at the Food Garden, when Flower Guy asked me questions, my palms were sweating bullets and I was too scared to speak. Xu Long took a big gulp of beer and said "At that time, I really wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl into"

  "You're quite brave," I said seriously.

  "Brave? Are you ridiculing me?" Xu Long sneered with a shake of his head.

  "I'm not mocking you, I'm telling the truth." I said seriously, looking straight at Xu Long.

  "How is that possible? I was so scared at the time, I didn't even dare to speak back to Hua Mei Nan, but you actually dared to confront him head-on and even got the upper hand." Xu Long said "I, Xu Long, have never felt so stifled in my life, for the first time, I was so scared that I couldn't speak."

  "Do you know? Li Jie, this is the first time in my life I've sat in a BMW, but I never thought I'd suffer such great humiliation"

  "You were very brave, you made a brave decision in the end." I smiled wryly and shook my head "Don't forget, we're different"

  "I dared to offend the handsome guy, because I had something to rely on, I had my brother, I had Qiang Ge, I thought my background was stronger than his, so I dared to offend him. Actually, at that time, I was also afraid, and my palms were sweating, but I kept telling myself with my brother and Qiang Ge's names, believing they would come to save me." I laughed, "So, I appeared so brave and fearless at the time."

  "After all, you still made it" Xu Long furrowed his brow and said "I clearly knew that Qiang Ge would come to rescue us, but I still couldn't muster up the courage to face Hua Mei Nan, facing Hua Mei Nan who was driving a BMW, I always had an inexplicable sense of fear in my heart"

  "I also understand, you dare to confront Flower Beauty Man, Brother Qiang will definitely come to rescue us soon" Xu Long shook his head and said "But I couldn't convince myself from the bottom of my heart, I'm afraid, what if Brother Qiang only saves you and leaves me behind as a sacrifice?"

  "Alright, don't think too much."

  "Come on, have a drink!" I comforted Xu Long.

  After each of us had two bottles of beer, Xu Long's mood improved a lot.

  I smiled and put my arm around Xu Long's shoulder, saying "Xu Long, the backstage of Gao Tianwei has been demolished by my brother, don't you think our next step is to directly eliminate the Four Heavenly Kings from the campus?"

  "If you don't get rid of them as soon as possible, they will be a disaster sooner or later." I reminded Xu Long.

  "Gao Tianwei is now like a grasshopper after autumn, he can't jump for much longer. What's most important for me right now is to go and help Rubin together against Heizi. Now that Heizi has supported Gao Er's great ambition, they are working together inside and out to deal with Rubin. If I don't go to help soon, Rubin won't be able to hold on." Xu Long furrowed his brow "Let Gao Tianwei take the position of Gao Yi's successor for now, I'm not eager to take it".

  I really want to beat Xu Long up, just stepped on Gao Tianwei's backstage, now is the best time to hit Gao Tianwei, didn't expect at this critical moment, Xu Long dropped the chain.

  "Hehe" Suddenly, Xu Long smiled and said "Li Jie, I want to ask you something?"

  "I said."

  "He Shuai, who was beaten into the hospital, is it you?" Xu Longjiao looked at me with interest. "I thought and thought, among my enemies, there is no one brave enough to dare to harm He Shuai to frame me."

  "So I'd like to ask you, that day in the cafeteria, when I was going to ambush Wang Dong, did you secretly leak the information to him?" I also smiled "The ones who participated in the action that day were all my good brothers, and they all got beaten up, so there shouldn't be any traitors. Therefore, the possibility of you betraying me is the greatest!"

  "Since you've already guessed it, I don't need to hide it from you. The thing with Wang Dong was indeed reported by me." Xu Long nodded calmly.

  "Why?"

  "Since you've already guessed that it was me, then you should also be able to think of why I did it." Xu Long smiled and said "On the other hand, Li Jie, why did you get He Shuai into the hospital and frame me for it?"

  "This is a bit strange, your motive is nothing more than to intensify the conflict between me and Gao Tianwei. But you clearly know that it's only a matter of time before I and Gao Tianwei clash. Why do you still want to do this? The risk is too great, if He Shuai finds out it was someone from your side who did this, then you're done for."

  "You don't have to deny it. I used to suspect, but now I'm certain that He Shuai's matter was done by you." Xu Long stared at me and asked.

  "Why?" I snorted, not telling the truth. "Because I guessed it was you who framed me, so I'll frame you once too, that's all."

  "If that's the reason, then you're really reckless" Xu Long shook his head with a faint smile "Alright, we've both had our turn, let's call it even"

  "Let's talk about something serious, I'm going to help Rubin, no energy to deal with Gao Tianwei." Xu Long looked at me and said seriously "You're in charge of dealing with Gao Tianwei now". "Me?" I stared at Xu Long with wide eyes and said "You want me to deal with Gao Tianwei? Are you kidding me?"

  "I'm not joking, I'm being serious with you. In the past, I didn't think you had much ability, but today when you confronted Hua Meinan, I realized that you also have ambitions, and they're no smaller than mine." Xu Long said "Alright, don't try to argue that you were lying to deceive Hua Meinan at the time, I can feel it, you really want to take the position of High One Flank's leader"

  "As long as you can take down Gao Tianwei, then the position of Gao Yi's successor is yours, I won't compete with you for it." Xu Long continued to say "I'm very clear, you have this strength, your current manpower isn't less than mine, it's just that you lack screening, so just treat Gao Tianwei as a practice opponent for yourself."

  "One day, will we become enemies?" I asked Xu Long with a hint of a smile.

  "If one day I defeat Gaotianwei and become the boss of senior high, while you and Rubin join forces to defeat Heizi, will we have a battle?" I continued to ask.

  "What does that mean?" Xu Long furrowed his brow "Can't you be satisfied with being a senior in high school, do you still want to be the leader of our high school?"

  "Yes, I don't want to hide it from you, I indeed have such thoughts"

  "If it's like this, then we really might become enemies" Xu Long said in a low voice "I hope that one day, we can become enemies"

  "Yes, let's have a drink for the day when we become enemies"

  If Xu Long and I become enemies, then it means we are both winners.

  At that time, I defeated Gao Tianyi, and Xu Long and Lu Bin also won against Hei Zi.

  I just don't know, when that day comes and I face Xu Long again, what kind of scene it will be.

  After drinking too much, we two people supported each other back to the school dormitory.
