Chapter 57: Kneel Down?

  Xu Long's people have arrived in large numbers, and it can be said that they have come out in full force. As soon as Xu Long arrives, Zhang Kun's face immediately turns black. It is now clearly too late to escape, because the school cafeteria only has one door.

  Xu Long's men rushed in and immediately started fighting Zhang Kun's men, who were all at the entrance. Xu Long led the charge like a war god, extremely fierce, kicking one person to the ground with one foot, and using an over-the-shoulder throw that was very stylish, directly sending someone flying onto the ground. This was my first time seeing Xu Long fight, and he indeed lived up to his reputation as a leader who had fought his way to the top. I really couldn't compare to him.

  Zhang Kun and Wang Dong looked at each other in dismay, then Zhang Kun took the lead and said "Let's go, let's do it"

  Zhang Kun and Wang Dong let us go, then directly went up against Xu Long, that was the enemy in his mind.

  After Shi Meng and I were let go, Shi Meng suddenly stood up, wanting to go and help Xu Long beat Zhang Kun, but was pulled back by me. I frowned "Don't go, Xu Long has already taken the upper hand"

  "What the...! What's going on here!" Liu Kai cursed angrily, but didn't know who he was cursing at.

  In about five minutes, Zhang Kun's men had been taken down by Xu Long's men, and I stood up at this time and walked towards the direction where Wang Dong was.

  Bang! I slapped Wang Dong's face with a loud slap.

  I glared at Zhang Kun, originally intending to dump all the leftover dishes on him and humiliate him severely. However, after calming down and thinking it through, I abandoned this extreme approach, realizing it would only thoroughly infuriate Zhang Kun, bringing no benefit to me whatsoever.

  Xu Long looked at me and said "You go first, the teacher will definitely come to catch people later"

  "Uh-huh", I nodded and then ran out of the cafeteria with Shi Meng and the others.

  We look like this, it's obvious we've been fighting, and when the teacher comes, she'll definitely catch us first.

  Some of us went back to the dormitory, took a set of clothes, discussed it, Liu Shuai, Shi Meng, Liu Kai and I, went straight to Qingyun Lake Dam to swim.

  While on the road, we were guessing that there must be a traitor in this incident.

  After the lake, we started guessing who was the insider. Liu Shuai said, "This time, Wang Dong must have leaked the news of our sneak attack in advance. It's clear that he knew we were going to ambush him, so he deliberately stayed in the cafeteria for dinner, creating an opportunity for us."

  "Look, as soon as Liu Kai and them went in, Zhang Kun, He Shuai, Chen Guang and them followed closely behind."

  Liu Kai said "Yes, we haven't even started yet, and were hit on the head by Chen Guang's iron lunchbox. They clearly knew our entire plan."

  "No, they only know part of our plan" I furrowed my brow "They didn't expect Xu Long to come, they only knew we were ambushing Wang Dong"

  "So, you few must not be insiders"

  "Is it someone from your dormitory? Jie Ge." Liu Kai said somewhat depressingly, "We've never avoided talking about this before."

  "Our dormitory won't have a traitor, we've all gotten along with each other, everyone is fine," Liu Shuai said.

  "Hmm, and it's not someone from our dorm either. I've said before that Zhang Kun didn't know Xu Long was coming, so the mole can only be one of two possibilities: one is someone under your control, or..." I paused here.

  "And who's next?"

  "It's Xu Long" I furrowed my brow "Look at this incident, we lost, Gao Tianwei lost, who is the only winner?"

  It's Xu Long

  "Yes, Xu Long also knows our plan!" Shi Meng suddenly realized.

  "Damn it, Xudong is too despicable, even betraying his own allies?! Liu Kai cursed angrily "This bastard, I knew he wasn't a good person from the start, how could he possibly just help us wipe our asses?"

  "Xu Long has indeed let us down," Liu Shuai also nodded and said.

  "Don't jump to conclusions, this is just my guess, but it's also possible that one of our own people leaked the information. There weren't many participants in today's activity, so you all secretly investigate the people around you, remember, don't make a big move, lest we stir up trouble and cause unrest." I furrowed my brow "Whether Xu Long has outsmarted us or there is a traitor among our brothers, either way, we have failed."

  "Brother Jie, what's wrong? It's just a beating. You've been beaten before, haven't you?" Liu Kai said with a self-satisfied smile.

  "It's not just a beating, the cafeteria is full of people, we lost face again" I furrowed my brow "I need to think carefully and come up with another strong move to redeem myself"

  "What's the big deal"

  "Not thinking about it yet, let's first get rid of this mole and investigate whether there is a traitor among us. If not, I'll have to keep an eye on Xu Long in the future." I said with great frustration.

  "If it's Xulon, why would he do such a thing?" Liu Shuai asked with some confusion.

  "If it's really Xulon, then I won't be able to fully understand his thoughts either." My mouth corners slightly curved upwards as I guessed "Could it be that Xulon has guessed my thoughts and is doing this on purpose?"

  "Think about it, everyone in the school cafeteria saw it today. It was Xu Long who led people to kill into the cafeteria and saved us. We owe him another favor. If Xu Long wins against Gao Tianwei in the future, and we turn against Xu Long again, how will others evaluate us?" I frowned.

  "This Xu Long is pretending to be a good guy!" Shi Meng also smiled and said, "Gao Tianwei thinks that Xu Long abolished the Four Great Golden Arhats in order to help us. People outside think so too. In short, we owe him a great favor."

  "It seems now that Xu Long has betrayed us after all." Liu Shuai said with some anger, "This guy is too despicable!"

  "There's no need to dwell on it, we're still reaping the benefits of others' efforts. I shook my head and said "Forget it, let's just move on from this matter. Next time we do something, it seems like we need to be more cautious."

  "No matter what you do, always leave yourself a way out."

  "So that's it for this matter?" Liu Kai was somewhat disgruntled. "We were duped by Xu Long and now we have to be grateful?"

  "That's not necessarily the case, first of all, we're not even sure if Xu Long is behind this, and secondly, after all, the battle between Xu Long and Gao Tianwei isn't something that can be settled in just one or two days" I said with a relaxed smile "If it really was Xu Long who did it, then we'll have plenty of chances to retaliate"

  "Ah, I'm worried that the teacher will catch us," Liu Shuai said with a somewhat fearful tone. "I didn't used to be like you guys, always getting into fights and getting caught by the teacher. This is my first time."

  "What's there to be afraid of? At most, I'll get scolded. Just pretend you didn't hear anything." Liu Kai said nonchalantly.

  "Don't worry about this, Xu Long said he'll handle it," I comforted Liu Shuai. "He just sent us a text message while we were on the road."

  "A few people went to Zhang Kun's side, a few people went to Xu Long's side. These people will take the initiative to go to the department head and take the blame," I said with a smile. "It's not our business, even if we get caught, we're not afraid. Didn't you say that Zhang Kun was the one who started fighting first?"

  When I returned to the campus again, I met Cao Na on the road. Cao Na also saw me, and our eyes met for a moment. In just an instant, Cao Na withdrew her gaze. I couldn't help but run up to Cao Na and ask, "Can't you really give me another chance?"

  "Don't bother me like this, I'll look down on you, Li Jie," Cao Na said with a frown, dejectedly.

  "I don't want to give up on you because I still love you" I gritted my teeth, feeling a bit angry "Do you think I enjoy being stuck in this endless cycle of fighting and clinging to you? I'm a grown man too, with dignity"

  "You mean for love one can give up dignity, right?" Cao Na smiled slightly.

  "I nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope arriving."

  "Kneel down and I'll be your girlfriend!"

  "Kneel down and I'll believe you still love me."

  "How dare you?"

  I remained silent for a while, trying to calm down my emotions as much as possible.
