Just after school, Ling Cang received a call from Hong Xue, asking to invite him to dinner.
Probably because she didn't want to be seen by too many people, Hong Xue made an appointment at a small restaurant behind the school and waited there early. There were very few pedestrians here. But even if there were many pedestrians, Ling Cang could recognize Hong Xue at a glance. .Because most of the people who go in and out of the nearby places are students. There are few people with yellow hair like Hong Xue.
Far below, Ling Cang saw a head full of yellow hairs dangling there. It was Hong Xue who was smoking a cigarette and walking back and forth. Ling Cang was about to say hello when he noticed that several people quickly gathered around Hong Xue. .
Hong Xue seemed to be worried, but in fact she was already alert. She threw the cigarette butt on the ground and took out another cigarette. It looked like she was about to take out a lighter, but she suddenly pulled out a dagger, turned around and stabbed in the back.
One person came just behind Hong Xue and was stabbed into the abdomen by a dagger. He immediately screamed in pain. The other two people rushed up quickly. One of them grabbed Hong Xue's arm and snatched the dagger away. The other Someone held Hong Xue's shoulders.
Hong Xue struggled for a few times, then raised his foot and kicked him over. He hit the person in front of him in the crotch. The person stepped back several steps. Hong Xue raised his foot and stomped down hard. He was stomping on the instep of the person behind him. The man bent over in pain. Hong Xue knocked his elbow back, hitting the door in front of him.
Although Hong Xue was fierce, she was alone after all. Two more people rushed up. One hugged his waist, and the other grabbed his legs, restraining Hong Xue firmly. Then, one was tall and had a long line on his forehead. The man with the scar came over: "Don't move, Miss Hong. You can't run away."
"You..." Hong Xue looked at the other person and exclaimed: "Zhang Xuewu."
"When you think about it, you still remember me..." Zhang Xuewu smiled sinisterly: "I'm really honored. But you should call me Uncle Zhang."
"Zhang, you're a jerk." Hong Xue struggled with all his strength: "I haven't gone to find you yet. How dare you mess with me."
"There is a saying: strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster. If I don't come to you first, why don't I wait for you and me to come to us?" Zhang Xuewu said and clapped his hands. A little man ran over and blocked it with his clothes. The dagger was pressed against Hong Xue's lower back.
Hong Xue didn't dare to move. She could only warn him bitterly: "My dad will not let you go."
"Your father would never let me go." Zhang Xuewu sneered. He looked around and ordered, "Take her away quickly before anyone sees her."
As soon as he finished speaking, a brick flew over with the sound of wind and hit the person holding Hong Xue hostage on the back of the head. The person rolled his eyes and fell to the ground without saying anything.
"Who?" Zhang Xuewu immediately pulled out a roll of newspaper from his waist. He held it in his hand and carefully observed its surroundings. He looked a little funny. In fact, there was a three-edged military thorn sandwiched in the newspaper.
Before Zhang Xuewu could figure out what was going on, another brick flew over and hit the little man on the head. He was a little stronger than the previous one. He shook a few times before falling to the ground.
Hong Xue broke away from the other man, picked up his dagger from the ground, and stabbed one of Zhang Xuewu's men in the lower back.
Zhang Xuewu was about to rush over with a spear in hand. Suddenly he had a bad premonition. He lowered his head subconsciously. A brick flew past his scalp. One of his men was about to rush over to deal with Hong Xue, but was knocked to the ground by another brick.
The situation immediately changed. Zhang Xuewu brought seven people. Most of them were injured at this time. Hong Xue's eyes were bloodshot. She gritted her teeth and rushed towards Zhang Xuewu.
Zhang Xuewu raised his foot and kicked Hong Xue on the wrist. Hong Xue felt numb and the dagger dropped. Then, Zhang Xuewu swung the military thorn to stab Hong Xue in the abdomen.
Just when the thorn stabbed Hong Xue in the abdomen, a brick flew over and hit Zhang Xuewu's wrist. Zhang Xuewu screamed, threw the thorn away, and took several steps back while covering his wrist.
Ling Cang strolled over and looked at Zhang Xuewu as if nothing had happened. He asked, "Does it hurt?"
"You are..." Zhang Xuewu was startled for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth and asked, "You are Ling Cang."
"Yeah. You know me." Ling Cang touched his face and felt that he was indeed handsome. He had become a celebrity. Even people he didn't know knew him.
"Seeking death." Zhang Xuewu roared, pulled out a machete from behind his waist, and struck Ling Cang straight.
Ling Cang took a step back unhurriedly, letting the blade of the blade pass by his chest. He raised his foot and followed Zhang Xuewu's force, and slapped the knife downwards. Zhang Xuewu couldn't hold it back, so he smashed the knife to the ground. His wrist followed. Was stepped on by Ling Cang.
Zhang Xuewu did not let go. Instead, he bent down and struck Ling Cang's abdomen with his other hand. But he did not expect that as soon as he made a move, Ling Cang's fist hit the door.
There was a muffled sound of "bang". Zhang Xuewu's face was full of peach blossoms. He subconsciously threw away the machete and stepped back several steps. Ling Cang did not catch up. Instead, he suddenly reached back and grabbed the collar of one of Zhang Xuewu's men.
This subordinate took advantage of Ling Cang to deal with Zhang Xuewu and wanted to sneak attack Hong Xue from behind, but was discovered by Ling Cang. Ling Cang turned around, grabbed the collar with one hand, and the belt with the other hand, and lifted the man sideways. He stood up and threw himself at Zhang Xuewu.
Zhang Xuewu's men were very tall. Ling Cang was a bit weak compared to them. But this kind of person was as light as cotton wool in Ling Cang's hands. It was the first time that Zhang Xuewu saw such a person | a meat bomb. He had no time to dodge and was hit. Got one right.
The two men let out a scream. Their men rolled on the ground while Zhang Xuewu's body was very strong. He got up immediately. However, he did not attack Ling Cang. Instead, he turned around and ran away.
Ling Cang originally thought there was going to be a fierce battle. He didn't expect Zhang Xuewu to be so shrewd and fully develop the spirit of guerrilla warfare. Fight if you can win, and run if you can't.
"Zhang Xuewu, don't leave." Hong Xue was furious and wanted to catch up with a dagger: "You useless time-travelling ghost. With this little ability, you still dare to come out..."
"Forget it." Ling Cang hurriedly grabbed Hong Xue and said, "Don't chase after poor bandits."
Everyone on the road values face, and they have to hold on even if they can't offend the other party. Zhang Xuewu obviously belongs to the non-mainstream. His subordinates are also non-mainstream. They got up one by one, supported each other, covered their wounds and ran away.
Hong Xue struggled for a few times but couldn't get Ling Cang to let go of him. Then he took out his cell phone and called Hong Yi: "Dad, I was almost chopped by Zhang Xuewu just now."
"I'll send someone over right away." Hong Yi immediately asked with concern: "Are you okay? Where are you now?"
"I'm fine. I'm near the school..."
"Hey. Didn't I tell you..." Hong Yi was different from his daughter. He had long realized that Sun Shenghai and Zhang Xuewu might strike first: "Be careful when going out these days. Take more subordinates with you. Why don't you listen? .”
"I..." Hong Xue glanced at Ling Cang secretly and replied softly: "I didn't think they would take action so quickly."
Hong Xue didn't take Sun Shenghai and Zhang Xuewu seriously. In the past few years since her father was in prison, these two people were somewhat afraid. They never dared to cause trouble for her. Now that her father has been released from prison, she is even more confident.
And she asked Ling Cang out for dinner today. She didn't want to let others know, so she didn't say anything.
Hong Yi did not continue to ask. He is a person who has seen many storms and waves. He can remain calm no matter what happens: "Didn't I tell you? No matter when, don't underestimate your opponent."
"Okay. I understand. Dad, please stop nagging." Hong Xue acted coquettishly like an ordinary little girl: "I'll wait for you where you are. Send someone to pick me up immediately."
"good."
Hong Xue just put down the phone. Several people came over from a short distance away. They were all teachers from the school, including Ding Xuehan and Zhang Linglan. The other teachers also knew each other. But among them was a very handsome man who Ling Cang and Hong Xue had never seen before. of.
"What's wrong with you two?" Ding Xuehan saw Hong Xue holding a dagger in his hand and walked over quickly: "What are you doing here? Why is there a murder weapon in your hand?"
"Oh. I just bought a knife..." Hong Xue put the dagger away and pretended to be fine: "Show it to Ling Cang."
"You..." Ding Xuehan looked at Ling Cang and Hong Xue and asked doubtfully: "We're not fighting."
Zhang Linglan also came over. But she didn't say anything. She just looked at Ling Cang. The other teachers noticed that the atmosphere was not right and did not want to interfere in class affairs. They just stood and watched from a distance.
"Of course not." Ling Cang looked innocent and asked Ding Xuehan, "Do you think I will fight with girls?"
"You don't know how. I'm afraid someone wants to fight you..." Ding Xuehan looked at Hong Xue but didn't say anything.
"Teacher, we are really fine. We are just about to go to dinner together." Hong Xue said and took Ling Cang's arm, looking very intimate.
"That's right. We're going too. Let's eat together." Ding Xuehan pointed to the handsome man and then said, "I'd like to introduce the new teacher to you."
"No need..." Hong Xue laughed dryly and declined politely: "I'll treat the teacher to dinner another day. We have something else to do now."
Hong Xue and Ding Xuehan were talking. Ling Cang received a call. It was an unknown number: "You are Ling Cang."
"Hey." Ling Cang looked at the others and walked aside: "You are..."
"Zhang Xuewu."
"who."
"We just met just now."
"Oh..." Ling Cang smiled disdainfully: "You are the white-eyed wolf under Hong Yi..."
"White-eyed wolf...well. More than one person has said that to me. I like this title very much." Zhang Xuewu burst into laughter. It was as if he had forgotten the lesson he had just received from Ling Cang: "Whatever you say, I don't care." .because……"
Ling Cang immediately had an ominous premonition: "What have you done?"
"I didn't do anything. I just invited your girlfriend here..." There was silence on the phone for a while. Then Lin Xuening's shout came: "Husband, leave me alone. You must not come to them..." Lin Xuening's voice quickly stopped. Zhang Xuewu's voice sounded again: "How about it? I didn't lie to you."
Ling Cang's heart immediately tightened and he felt bursts of pain: "I'm warning you. If my girlfriend loses a hair, I will kill your whole family."
"I believe you have this ability. I've seen it just now." Zhang Xuewu sneered twice and said nonchalantly: "But it's okay to scare others with your words, but it's of no use to me. I'm already on the verge of death. I'm a human being. I still care about you, you little brat."
"What do you want."
"It's nothing. Originally, I had no grievances with you. But since you helped Hong Xue, I have to talk to you." Zhang Xuewu wanted to use Hong Xue to blackmail Hong Yi or disband the Hong Ming Gang so that he would no longer be a threat to himself; Or extort a sum of money, and then fly away with it. But this plan was ruined by Ling Cang. He hated him so much that his teeth itched: "I won't talk nonsense. Let's just talk about it. I want to talk to Hong Yi and his daughter. Let’s compete. Since you have already helped Hong Xue, come and help me now.”
"This can be discussed. But I request..." Ling Cang told Zhang Xuewu word for word: "You must ensure the safety of my girlfriend."
"No problem. Your girlfriend is an honored guest here. She must be well-fed and entertained. She will never be wronged in the slightest. But..." Zhang Xuewu paused for a moment. Then he strengthened his tone and said: "If you don't cooperate with us, you My girlfriend is in trouble. Don't be afraid to tell me the truth. My men haven't touched a woman for a long time. Your girlfriend is so beautiful. I think they will have fun and not put it down. Haha."
Ling Cang bit his lip tightly and was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until blood dripped out that he slowly said, "I promise you."
"Okay. I'll give you an address. You can come over tonight."
"Can."
"By the way. It's an old saying, but I think I should tell you again. Don't call the police. Don't let anyone know. Otherwise, you will never see your girlfriend again."
"Don't worry. As long as Xue Ning is safe, I won't do this. But..." After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Ling Cang declared: "After I have settled this matter, I have no interest in participating anymore. into your right and wrong."
Ling Cang hung up the phone and shook his head in pain. He had no idea who Zhang Xuewu was. However, Zhang Xuewu investigated everything clearly and found Lin Xuening.
He and Zhang Xuewu's group are from two different worlds and may never have any contact. But because of Hong Yi, the two have now become rivals. And Zhang Xuewu is still a very shrewd opponent.
Speaking of which, Ling Cang helped release Hong Yi just to vent his anger in front of Hong Xue. But Ling Cang didn't expect that although his anger was vented, it would lead to other grievances and disputes.
Things in the world are like this. Several seemingly unrelated things will become closely connected due to accidental factors. This connection may show a domino effect, knocking down one of them and affecting all others.
Ling Cang had to admit that his past thinking was still too simple. If he harmed Lin Xuening because of this simplicity, he would blame himself and regret it for the rest of his life.
