Brief confrontation

  Wang Ao Xuan stared at Li Jin Tao with a murderous gaze, and Li Jin Tao also looked back at Wang Ao Xuan with the same intensity. After glancing at the few younger brothers standing next to him, including Ao Lun, totaling five people, almost all of whom were slightly taller than them, Wang Ao Xuan thought about Li Jin Tao's 1.75-meter stature, and the two burly men behind him, Zhang Hua Lin and Huang Qiang, who were not inferior to Li Jin Tao. There was also a darker-skinned man with a mole on his eyebrow, about 1.65 meters tall, but with an urgent expression and a fierce look, whom everyone called "Hei Zi". Almost every day, they would see these few people together. On our side, the tallest was Xian Jun at 172 cm, while the others were around my height. No wonder they dominated the school. As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together." Indeed, they had arranged for several tall individuals to be together, and now it seemed that an intense struggle was about to unfold. Our two classes had always maintained a stance of not interfering with each other, and we had never clashed before. If Ao Lun were to fight alone, I might not be Li Jin Tao's match, but Luo Xian Jun could give him a run for his money.

  Wang Ao Xuan continued to glare at Li Jin Tao with his head held high, furiously shouting: "Li Jin Tao, I don't want to play with you today. Whenever you want to play, I, Wang Ao Xuan, will accompany you anytime. If you really have the guts, try pushing me!"

  "What's wrong? I pushed you and you're not satisfied?" As he spoke, another palm was pushed towards Wang Ao Xuan.

  Wang Ao Xuan used his left hand to grab Li Jin Tao's right hand with a move similar to a grappling hook, and then punched him in the face. Before Li Jin Tao could react, Luo Xian Jun rushed over and kicked him in the stomach. Li Jin Tao struggled free from Wang Ao Xuan's grip and swung a punch at Luo Xian Jun's head. These three moves sparked a fierce fight between the two groups of people, with around ten individuals involved. Since no one had brought any weapons, fists and feet flew wildly as they clashed. Wang Ao Xuan was grabbed by Li Jin Tao and slammed to the ground, where he was pummeled in the head. Wang Ao Xuan struggled hard and managed to grab Li Jin Tao's collar with both hands, then kicked him away. At this point, Wang Ao Xuan's entire head was spinning, and he stumbled over to a corner of the wall, picked up a broken brick, and threw it at Li Jin Tao without even aiming. The brick hit Li Jin Tao in the head, and he stumbled towards Wang Ao Xuan, clutching his head with one hand. Meanwhile, Luo Xian Jun was fighting with Huang Qiang, Xiao Bin was fighting with Zhang Hua Lin, and Aw Lun was standing off to the side, not participating. Fang Hang Qi had just finished beating up Hei Zi and came over to help. Just then, three teachers arrived on the scene, shouting for everyone to stop fighting. They were all carrying wooden sticks, but no one paid any attention to them. The students who were watching from the sidelines didn't intervene either. One of the teachers, a sadistic maniac, and the sports teacher rushed over and started wildly hitting people with their sticks. Luo Xian Jun got hit twice, and Xiao Bin also took two blows. Wang Ao Xuan was standing outside the school gate when he heard the sadistic teacher say, "You think you can get away with this? None of you are allowed to run - just stand still!"

  Li Jintao saw the situation and hastily shouted: "Run, run!" Wang Aoquan didn't intend to run either, but seeing them all running, he led Luo Xianjun and others to successively run out of the school gate. After Luo Xianjun and others ran away, Wang Aoquan stood alone there, watching four teachers surround him.

  Pervert Zhang Yongsheng said: "Wang Ao Xuan, it's you again. You must want the school to expel you before you're satisfied, right?"

  Only to see Wang Ao Xuan sneer at him and say, "Expel me? Come on, expel me. I'll tell you, expelling me is fine, but Teacher Zhang had better be careful in the future, people like us who play with our lives, you can't afford to provoke."

  The other three teachers also kept saying: "Wang Ao Xuan, don't be too arrogant, don't speak to the teacher in this tone."

  Wang Ao Xuan disdainfully pushed Zhang Yong Sheng away, walked out from among them, and smiled: "I have great respect for your professional ethics and standards. But you have your own difficulties, I have my own principles, and even now I don't want to be expelled. Of course, if I were to be expelled, my family would definitely go crazy, and at that time, I would also go crazy. Today's matter, I didn't take the initiative to provoke trouble, it was someone else who came looking for me, can't blame me. Alright, I'm hungry, going back home." Then he waved his hand at them, took big strides on the road back home, and the four teachers and several hundred students stared foolishly with their eyes at Wang Ao Xuan, watching him walk out like that.

  After dinner, Wang Ao Xuan called them to gather at the Martyrs' Pavilion. As they arrived one by one, Wang Ao Xuan's face turned gloomy: "If Ao Lun really betrayed us, what do you plan to do."

  "What else can we do? Of course, cut it off." Fang Hang said.

  "What about you?"

  "We're all brothers, I don't want anyone to get into trouble. If things really get that serious, Ah Xuan, I'll listen to you." Luo Xianjun said calmly.

  "This matter, I hope you will keep it confidential for the time being. Now, Ao Lun sees us with a guilty and embarrassed conscience. In class, we also don't want to bother them. Chairman Mao once said, 'The sky will rain, the mother will marry.' I, Wang Ao Xuan, make friends based on fairness, righteousness, and shared fortune. I absolutely do not force anyone to do anything that goes against their principles or morality. Maybe he is more promising with Li Jin Tao than with me. Until now, I still consider him a brother. If Ao Lun does not consider me, Wang Ao Xuan, as a brother, then I think I have overestimated the importance of brotherhood. Of course, I do not allow anyone to harm us and our girlfriends." Wang Ao Xuan said, lowering his head and smoking.

  Everyone fell silent, and Wang Ao continued: "There are only a few days left before the final exam. Although our path is chosen by ourselves, I hope you all work hard and study well for yourself, your family, and hand in a beautiful answer sheet. As brothers, it's not enough to just say we're brothers; we must be brothers for life and make our parents recognize us. Also, Li Jintao is here today, although there was a brief confrontation, I believe he will definitely cause some commotion during the exam, so we must be careful. We can't wait until they take action before we counterattack, that would be too late. From tomorrow on, when we go to school, we will expand our protection fee collection range to include third-year students, regardless of whether Li Jintao has collected from others or not, we will still collect, and slowly provoke him, anger him, and let him come and bother me first."

  "Alright guys, we get it."

  "By the way, Ah Hang, how much money did we collect together last week?"

  Fang Hang replied: "Last week we collected 300 yuan together. There are still a few who haven't paid, I heard it was Li Jintao who went to collect from them."

  Wang Ao Xuan smiled: "From now on, I won't give you any more. You'll have to earn it all by yourself. Also, take this money first. When we've saved up 1000 yuan, we'll go buy a few walkie-talkies."

  "Are you still buying? What for? For whom?"

  "For our girlfriends, because I'm worried something will happen to them."

  Wang Ao Xuan stared at Xiao Bin and said: "Bin, you go call the six sisters here now, we'll wait for you."

  Xiao Bin nodded slightly and immediately ran towards the school, while Wang Ao Xuan felt very uncomfortable inside, looking at the sky and smoking.
