Chapter 17: The Basketball Court's Madness

  It was past five in the afternoon, and it was already getting cooler as November approached. I stood at the corridor of my classroom wearing a long-sleeved shirt, surrounded by six people, including Wang Hu and others. Each of us had a short stick hidden on our body, but looking at their tense faces, I really didn't know if it was right or wrong to bring them along. However, men can't be timid all their lives, there must be times when they face up to things.

  "Let's go, this time we must get Cai Chen into the hospital." I said to the few people behind me.

  They didn't respond, maybe they were afraid or maybe they had no confidence. Our speed wasn't fast, one reason was to let all the students leave. This way, fewer people would see us. When we arrived at the basketball court, I saw Cai Chen already standing there, with a cigarette in his mouth and a short stick in his hand. Behind him stood about fifteen people, but they weren't holding anything. Their eyes still had a hint of disdain, as if they didn't take us seriously at all.

  I stopped five meters away from Cai Chen and stared at him. In my heart, I was secretly calculating that the other side had only sixteen people, including Cai Chen himself. I remembered that last time Yang Li brought fifteen people, and this time I asked him to bring more, so I estimated we would have over twenty people on our side. We could suppress them with our presence alone, and as for combat power, my few men were no match, but the ones Yang Li brought were all skilled fighters. So now I wasn't afraid at all.

  "What? Only seven people? Luo Mu, take a look at the few people behind you, they're all shaking with their sticks, are these just fillers? Didn't you have some outside help too? Haven't arrived yet, or are they too afraid to come?" Cai Chen was being exceptionally arrogant at this moment, looking at him made it seem like he didn't take us seriously at all.

  "Just you wait, my men will be here soon." I glared at Cai Chen and said. Cai Chen had his hands clasped together in front of his chest, looking like he was waiting for me to call someone.

  Looking at them like that, I always feel that something is not right. But it's hard to put my finger on it, if they had more people, I wouldn't think so, but as soon as Yang Li arrived, there were immediately more people.

  But after about ten minutes, Yang Li still hadn't arrived. My heart finally started to feel uneasy, Yang Li absolutely couldn't possibly not come, so there must be something else going on. Just as I was about to call Yang Li, six people walked in from outside the school gate.

  They are not others, naturally it is Yang Li who brought people over. What makes me wonder is how Yang Li only brought five people over. In the past, he could easily bring out more than ten people, but today there are only six people, I don't know if Yang Li is too proud or what's wrong with him.

  "Lu Muo, this time we're probably done for." Yang Li rushed to my side, his face sinking as he whispered to me.

  I immediately realized that something was wrong. Yang Li is also not a reckless and arrogant person, so he naturally wouldn't belittle his opponent. I then asked him what's wrong.

  Yang Li said that the ringleader of a group of thugs at their school did not allow Yang Li to bring people to Kailai. Moreover, his intimidation was very strong, and the twenty people who had originally gathered were instantly unwilling to follow him because they were afraid of the other party. Only these few iron buddies followed him.

  I furrowed my brow, and without even thinking about it, I knew that Cai Chen must be up to something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been staring at me with such a fixed gaze from the beginning to the end, even though I know there are fewer people around now. Not mentioning this fight still has to be fought, otherwise Ke Le's gang of thugs would probably be secretly laughing at me. Wanting to stand out in Ke Le is absolutely not an easy thing to do.

  "Come on, this time we'll make sure Cai Chen doesn't get away with it. Let's go straight at him and beat him up so badly he can't get back up. If we don't, we'll be thoroughly defeated." I said in a low voice to Yang Li.

  Yang Li nodded and we immediately focused our attention on Cai Chen. The latter didn't show any signs of nervousness, with a hint of sneer still playing on the corner of his mouth.

  He said how come there are only a few of us, asked if we still want to fight, and was directly beaten by them. Then he claimed that he was a coward and that's it. Under this condition, Yang Li and I naturally would not agree.

  "Do you think it's possible?" I said with a cold smile.

  At this time, Cai Chen slowly walked towards me, and the people behind him also took a few steps forward. Cai Chen whispered in my ear: "You are bound to lose this battle, and I will knock a hole in your head later. If you don't want to go to the hospital, I can give you a way out. Last time, looking at that girl protecting you, it's absolutely not because of an ordinary classmate relationship. You must have a close relationship with her. I know you should also like Gao Xi, but she is not someone who can be tainted by your kind. The few people I've played with, you can continue to play, and I can even help you. However, you have to bring Gao Xi out for me. How about it? As long as you agree, I'll symbolically beat you up, and the previous matter can be written off."

  I was so angry that I saw stars, damn it, they actually set their sights on my cousin. Why should I play with his broken shoes and still send my cousin into the fire pit and finally get beaten up. My face turned green in an instant, and at the same time, one foot kicked towards Cai Chen.

  "Go to hell." I cursed as I kicked him. Cai Chen didn't expect me to take the initiative, and he retreated two steps back after being kicked by me.

  Yang Li saw the situation and knew what to do, directly throwing a punch at Cai Chen. I didn't care about anything else at this time, the stick in my hand swept across horizontally. Cai Chen also raised his stick to block it. The younger brother behind him immediately surrounded us two.

  "Brothers, today no matter what we must let Cai Chen know our strength." I was anxious at this time, this battle absolutely cannot be retreated. If I don't knock Cai Chen down, then he will definitely still have ideas about my cousin all the time.

  Upon hearing my words, Wang Hu was still timid, but Cai Chen's younger brother had already charged towards them, and they couldn't help but fight back.

  In an instant, more than 20 people had already started fighting fiercely. Yang Li and I were surrounded by five or six of Cai Chen's men, with Cai Chen among them. The superiority and inferiority of the two sides was clear at a glance. I gave Yang Li a signal with my eyes, and immediately charged at Cai Chen to fight him.

  For those who dare to block our way in front, we directly punch and kick them away. As for the back, there are people kicking us in the butt, I don't care at all how they fight me from behind. I just keep charging forward with all my might.

  Finally, the two people who had been blocking our way were cleared away. At this time, Cai Chen finally appeared in front of us, and I didn't say a word, swinging my bat at him. He was also frightened by my desperate fighting style and hurriedly raised his own bat to block it.

  Yang Li didn't slow down, and with one kick he hit his abdomen. He took several stumbling steps back. Just as I was chasing Cai Chen again, I felt like my vertebrae were going to be kicked in two, followed by a series of kicks. I couldn't stand up at all, and was kicked to the ground. Yang Li was slightly better off, preparing to save me, but I told him to keep chasing Cai Chen.

  "Damn it! You madman. Give me a good beating." Cai Chen cursed loudly at this time, and then hurriedly ran outside. Yang Li chased after him relentlessly.
