Chapter 55: Why Can't You Give Me One Chance?

  Xu Long had already arrived at the library.

  Xu Long looked at me calmly "I thought you wouldn't come"

  "Why won't you come?" I said pretendingly.

  "I broke one of Wang Jian's legs, now Gaotianwei's people are threatening me with blood debt and wanting to take one of my legs too. They've got me nailed." Xu Long chuckled and said "I'm like a broom star now, nobody wants to be with me"

  "You're really ruthless, actually breaking Wang Jian's leg." I said with some sympathy.

  "I've said it before, I'm going to overthrow Wang Jian. I'm not a person who likes to joke or make empty threats." Xu Long chuckled and replied, appearing very calm.

  "King Jian even dares to mess with my woman, if I don't do something about it, won't others laugh at me?" Xu Long said coldly "What are we mixed up for? Isn't it just for a face? King Jian made me lose so much face, breaking one of his legs is letting him off easy"

  "Aren't you afraid of Wang Jian reporting to the police?"

  "Report to the police?" Xu Long suddenly laughed "I'm outside the school, doing Wang Jian from behind, Wang Jian had no idea who did it, how can I report to the police? To be honest, for this matter of Wang Jian, I still have to thank you, if it wasn't for you introducing me to Liu Gang, I would absolutely not have succeeded"

  Liu Gang?

  "Yeah, Wang Jian likes to go to the game hall near Ginza to play a round, it was Liu Gang who told me. The ambush was so successful, thanks to that kid Liu Gang." Xu Long laughed and said "If Wang Jian knew it was his own subordinate who sold him out, I don't know what kind of mood he would be in"

  "Heh heh" I chuckled and asked Xu Long "Right, Dragon Brother, you've got me here today, there's something you want to talk to me about, isn't there?"

  "On this Bone Festival, I really don't have the mood to find you and chat nonsense" Xu Long smiled and said "Aren't you saying that tomorrow is the day to deal with Wang Dong? Let's take action tomorrow"

  "So urgent?"

  "What's taking so long? What are you waiting for?" Xu Long looked at me with a tone of reproach. "You just need to take care of Wang Dong, I'll handle the rest, don't worry about it."

  "What does it mean?"

  "Try to get Wang Dong into the hospital tomorrow, Zhang Kun will definitely bring He Shuai and Chen Guang to take revenge on you. At that time, I'll go help you deal with Zhang Kun and those people." Xu Long looked at me expressionlessly "Consider it repayment for what happened on the rooftop, is that enough?"

  "Alright, alright, Dragon Brother, don't you think this is a bit too rushed?"

  "I'll take the initiative to be strong, I've made Wang Jian so ruthless, Gao Tianwei has already gone mad, he will definitely retaliate against me wildly. I need to cut off his left and right arms before he makes a move." Xu Long said calmly "Only this way, do I have a bit of an advantage!"

  "A little advantage? I feel like you're already close to victory, aren't you?" I looked at Xu Long and said "You've defeated the Four Great Golden Arhats and Wang Jian, how can there only be a little advantage? Does Gao Tianwei still have some hidden trick up his sleeve?"

  "Gao Tianwei is indeed stronger than me, he can command more people than I do, but he doesn't have my loyalty," said Xu Long. "I want to eliminate the Four Great Golden Arhats, and I will definitely hurt some of our brothers in the process. Even if I defeat them once, it's just a matter of defeating their morale, not completely killing them off like Wang Jian did, sending them to the hospital. That would be too ruthless, even for society's standards. For us students, it's just about winning or losing."

  "Moreover, Gao Tianwei has many people at his disposal. I need to come up with a plan to provoke him and reduce the prestige of Gao Tianwei's dominance as much as possible. Only then can I be on an equal footing with Gao Tianwei." Xu Long analyzed for me.

  "Isn't Rubin behind you? Don't you plan to let Rubin help you?" I looked at Xu Long with some surprise. If Xu Long planned to take down Gao Tianwei by himself and didn't even plan to let Rubin make a move, then this Xu Long would become my arch-nemesis in the future!

  "Once Rubin makes a move, that black kid will definitely not be able to sit still. Unless absolutely necessary, Rubin can't intervene. If I become the head of the first year and Rubin becomes the head of the second year, who do you think will be most threatened? Who will be most afraid? Of course it's the black kid. Can the black kid just watch as I become the head of the first year?" Xu Long sneered and said "The black kid will definitely secretly help Gao Tianwei"

  "Hei Zi Bang Gao Tian Wei?" I said with some surprise "How can that be? Did Hei Zi let the people from High School No. 3 intervene in this matter?"

  "They had already sworn an oath, High Heaven and Hei Zi had secretly become sworn brothers, they just didn't make it public. If this news gets out, it would be absolutely disadvantageous to me." Xu Long furrowed his brow "I'm at war with High Heaven, many are watching from the sidelines, they're like gamblers, not knowing who to bet on. If they find out Hei Zi is High Heaven's big brother, these people will definitely go and pledge allegiance to High Heaven."

  "Gao Tianwei's power grows by the minute, and my situation becomes more precarious. But fighting is like playing cards - the earlier you reveal your trump card, the greater the chance of losing, and the more miserable it will be." Xu Long said, "I'm also in a difficult situation now, every time I go out, I worry that someone will make a sneak attack on me. It's okay at school, but once I step out of campus, if I'm not careful, I'll become the next Wang Jian."

  Xu Long never considered me as an opponent, so he analyzed his complicated relationship with Gao Tianwei to me.

  Actually, I've been considering Xu Long and Gao Tianwei's powers. I'm thinking about who will be the one to become my arch-nemesis in the future?

  Xu Long is still Gao Tianwei, to be honest, I hope the winner is Gao Tianwei, because I really don't want to make an enemy of Xu Long, not just because of our relationship, it's hard to turn against each other, but also because Xu Long's ruthlessness makes me feel afraid.

  As he grabbed Mao's collar and forced him downstairs, I caught a glimpse of my brother's figure.

  Gao Tianwei and Xu Long's battle is proceeding very quickly, which forces me to quicken my pace of advancement. I must absorb people as soon as possible and expand myself in order to cope with a fierce battle.

  A dead camel is bigger than a horse; even an injured tiger is not something that this hungry wolf can easily devour.

  It's been two days, I think Cao Na should have calmed down by now. When I arrived at Cao Na's class, Cao Na and Song Linlin were about to leave.

  "Cao Na, let's talk," I said calmly to Cao Na.

  "What's there to talk about?" Cao Na looked at me with a expressionless face "What else is there for us to discuss?"

  It was a misunderstanding.

  "I don't want to hear your excuses, men," Cao Na said with a shake of her head.

  "Yes, we're going to the hospital to see Wang Jian. Sister Cao Nuo doesn't have time to listen to your explanation." Song Linlin said disdainfully, looking at me "I've already heard about what you did, playing with two boats at once. Our sister Cao Nuo was so sincere towards you, but you still went and flirted with that three-eight?"

  "Who are you talking about?" I glared at Song Linlin "Who did you scold as a three-eight?"

  "Scold that mistress!"

  Bang!

  I slapped her face according to Song Linlin's face "Try scolding again!"

  "What are you doing, Jie Li!" Cao Na immediately blocked Song Linlin behind her and protected her. "What right do you have to hit my friend?"

  "She's just a cheap trickster, sowing discord between us. Haven't you noticed? I said angrily to Cao Na "Have you forgotten that she deliberately broke your MP3 player? Deliberately told you negative news about me, she is the mole arranged by Wang Jian beside you, with the purpose of tearing us apart"

  I confronted Song Linlin and asked "Why are you still with her? And also went to see Wang Jian with her?"

  "Wang Jian is my classmate, she's been hospitalized, I should go visit her," said Cao Na matter-of-factly.

  "What about me? When I was hospitalized, why didn't you come see me as soon as school let out?" I started to get angry and lost my original composure "Why didn't you go?"

  "Did you tell me about your hospitalization?" Cao Na asked back.

  "Did Wang Jian tell you that he was hospitalized and asked you to visit him?" I sneered, "You clearly know that Wang Jian likes you, yet you still went to see him? What are you trying to do?"

  After a pause, Cao Na shouted loudly at me: "Mind your own business!"

  "Don't I have a say in this?" I took a cold breath, my body trembling with anger. "You're my girlfriend, and now you're going to see a man who has ulterior motives towards you."

  "Can't I stand up and stop it?" I glared at Song Linlin "The woman behind you, with a heart full of malice, thinking every day about how to break us apart, yet you treat her as your good friend."

  "Cao Na, are you out of your mind?!" At this point, I was completely enraged, my rationality instantly plummeting to a negative value. No longer caring whether I had come to apologize or not, I directly began lecturing Cao Na.

  "Song Linlin is my good sister, I don't allow you to insult her, and Wang Jian, he usually takes care of me in class too, helped me a lot, now he's living in the hospital, why can't I go see him? Even if you're my boyfriend, you can't stop me" Cao Na gritted her teeth, seemingly also very angry "Moreover, that night I already told you clearly, we broke up"

  "If I were talking to a man in the woods at midnight and you stumbled upon us, would you think we were just chatting about something? If you saw me arm-in-arm with a boy at a party, would you think we were just friends? And what's more, both times it was the same woman... how can I trust you?" Cao Na said, her eyes starting to get wet.

  "She is my third sister, I regard her as a family member." I said with great frustration, feeling like a total failure.

  When Cao Na said that, I felt that all the explanations were really pale and powerless. If these things happened to Cao Na, I probably wouldn't believe what she said either.

  Just like that day, I just saw Sun Yunyun and Liu Gang entering the hotel, and I was sure they had a relationship. Compared to Cao Na, I seem to be more arbitrary.

  "Sorry, can I have another chance? I promise there won't be such misunderstandings again." I looked at Cao Na with some pleading.

  "Don't believe him, he's cheating you." Song Linlin whispered in Cao Na's ear.

  "Go away, Jie Li, I don't want to see you now," Cao Na shook her head at me.

  "Why can't you give me just one chance?" I frowned and said reluctantly.

  "Do you still remember that day when you lived in our dorm? I heard your conversation with Sun Yunyun, and I was touched. So I gave you a chance. When I saw you with that woman, I chose to believe you. But then I saw it again for the second time. Li Jie, you disappointed me." Cao Na shook her head and said, pointing at her heart "Every time I see you, my heart hurts!"
